Chapter 33: The sensible cute little brother
Du Chenxi couldn't help but pat his head when he saw his cute little brother like this, how could this child be so sensible? It's this kind of sensibility that makes her feel distressed.
She took out the ten taels of silver she earned from selling the pier from her sleeve, put it in the palm of her hand, and stretched it out to show him in front of the cute little brother.
"Don't worry, when the time comes, I'll go buy the ingredients and come back to make them."
She stirred the balls in the pot and continued, "I will treat you equally, the palms and backs of your hands are all meat, you are all my younger brothers, and if the second brother has it, you will have it too, and I will definitely not take sides." ”
For Du Chenxi, these words may be just a trivial promise, but for Song Jiamu, it is not trivial.
He secretly turned his back and wiped the moistness from the corners of his eyes, this was the first time that someone paid so much attention to him, although the eldest brother was also very good to him, but because of the second brother's illness, the eldest brother would still focus most of his energy on the second brother.
Now there is a person who says this to himself, how can he not be moved.
After wiping away the traces of tears, Song Jiamu turned around again, and just at this time, a new pot of sugar balls was freshly baked.
Song Jiamu sensibly sent the medicine and sugar balls to Song Jialin's bedside, and seeing the second brother drink the medicine with a bitter face, he immediately brought the sugar balls to Song Jialin.
"Second brother, this is the sugar balls made by my sister-in-law today, you can taste them."
Song Jialin looked at the small balls in the bowl, he didn't seem to have seen this kind of thing yet, and when he thought about his sister-in-law's character, he suddenly had some doubts, can this thing be eaten?
It looks delicious.
Song Jiamu saw that the second brother hesitated, and immediately increased his recommendation, "Second brother, this thing is delicious." ”
"Have you eaten it?" Song Jialin asked.
Song Jiamu smiled embarrassedly, "No, but Aunt Niu has tasted it, and she said it was good, and she wanted Brother Zhu to eat it together." ”
Hearing that Aunt Niu had personally seen it, Song Jialin was relieved.
Although Aunt Niu is easy to get along with and warm-hearted, she actually has a lot of pursuit of food, something delicious is delicious, and if it is not delicious, it is not delicious, and she never tells lies.
He took the bowl of sugar balls, tasted it, and it was really delicious.
"Is it delicious?" Song Jiamu looked at the second brother expectantly.
"Well, it's delicious." Song Jialin didn't expect that this seemingly inconspicuous thing would be so delicious.
Hearing the second brother's affirmation, Song Jiamu clapped his hands excitedly, as if he made this sugar ball, and even he didn't realize that he was happy for Du Chenxi.
Song Jialin looked at the little brother dancing with his hands, and the corners of his mouth bent unconsciously with relief, it seems that the little brother and the new sister-in-law are getting better and better.
The family was poor, the little brother was forced to mature early, and he was under pressure that he shouldn't bear at his age, he thought that the smile on his face that belonged to his age had disappeared, and he didn't expect to see his innocent expression again one day.
Now that I think about it, the eldest brother's chickens and ducks are really worth it, it seems that this sister-in-law has indeed brought blessings to the family!
"Little brother, what do you think of your sister-in-law?" Song Jialin asked.
"I think my sister-in-law is fine, you see, not only did she make us candy balls today, but do you know what she just said to me?"
"What did you say?"
"She said we were the meat on the back of her hand!"
If Du Chenxi heard this sentence at the scene, he would be angry with the cute little brother, and immediately arrested him and went to Aunt Niu's house next door to take a Chinese class, this reading comprehension is simply zero points, she said that this sentence does not mean this! It's saying that they are equally important in her heart!
When Song Jialin finished eating the sugar balls, Song Jiamu immediately couldn't wait to run back with the empty bowl.
In the stove room, Du Chenxi had already prepared a bowl for him and put it on the side, and the white sugar dumplings were steaming, looking very attractive.
He hurriedly put down the empty bowl and picked up the bowl of sugar balls, cherishing it as if he was holding a priceless pearl of the night.
He carefully picked up the spoon and solemnly put it in his mouth.
Sure enough, it's delicious!
Du Chenxi was holding the bowl on the side, looking at the expression on the face of the cute little brother, he only felt a little sad, the little brother Meng didn't need to be like this, the cheap sugar balls arrived in his hand, as if the value had risen dozens of times in an instant.
She couldn't help but speak, "Okay, little brother, if you eat it with such a pious expression again, I won't dare to cook better for you in the future, I'm afraid that you will directly worship it and burn incense and worship the Buddha in front of it every day." ”
Hearing this, the expression on Song Jiamu's face returned to normal a little.
However, he suddenly glanced sharply at Du Chenxi's bowl that there were no sugar balls in the bowl at all, just a bowl of clear soup.
He quickly looked into the pot, and there was nothing left in the pot, only the remaining water.
"What about yours? How is there no yours? ”
"Uh......" Du Chenxi was dumbfounded when she heard Little Brother Meng's question.
This cute little brother is really careful enough, and he actually thinks of this, but this seems to be a bit bad, how can she explain it.
Her mind spun around quickly before she stammered, "That...... Hehe, this is actually the second bowl I've eaten, and I've already eaten it. ”
Song Jiamu looked at his sister-in-law with a depressed face, and pierced her mercilessly, "You liar!" ”
"How can I deceive? What I said is true, why am I lying to you? Lie to you that you have something to eat? Du Chenxi muttered a few words in his heart, but there was no deterrent at all.
"Sister-in-law, you won't lie at all, you just haven't eaten when you look like this." Song Jiamu pursed his lips and put down the bowl in his hand.
Du Chenxi's heart was stuffed, and she beat her chest, was she looked down on by a seven-year-old child? Besides, life is already so difficult, why do you want to dismantle her directly, isn't it good to save her some face?
Song Jiamu slowly pushed the bowl in front of Du Chenxi, "Sister-in-law, I can't eat a bowl alone anyway, you eat two bites first, and I'll eat it after you're done." ”
Yes? Du Chenxi was stunned and looked up at the cute little brother.
Brother Meng also said that she wouldn't lie, obviously the expression on his face was fake to death, okay? It's really a lie and don't make up a better reason, how can it be possible to say that you can't eat it?
He was growing his body, and the bowl of sugar balls was so small, according to her modern meal, it was not enough for her to stuff her teeth.
But looking at the cute little brother looking at her with a firm face, the pitiful little expression seemed to say, "If you don't eat it, then I won't eat it either."
Du Chenxi's heart was sour, so he had to nod and agree, and picked up the bowl.
She put the sugar balls in her mouth, but she felt that the sugar balls were not as soft and glutinous as she imagined.
Obviously, she added a lot of sugar, which should be very sweet, but she tasted bitter.
She chewed mechanically without knowing the taste, and she didn't know what it tasted like in her mouth, she only had one thought in her heart now, that is, she swore that she must let the Song family live a good life, just for the sake of the cute little brother!
Du Chenxi's thoughts drifted farther and farther, and her mouth opened and closed mechanically, while Song Jiamu was looking at her anxiously at the side at this time, wanting to speak and stopping, pursing her lips as she swallowed.
Although he said that it was for his sister-in-law to eat, he didn't let her finish it, he just let her eat two bites, but now he saw that a bowl of sugar balls was almost bottoming out.
Song Jiamu was so anxious that he was about to cry, thinking that he wouldn't be able to eat sugar balls again, right? He's been hungry for a long time.
In the end, when there was still half a bowl left in the bowl of sugar balls, he couldn't help it.
He was bold, stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and after snatching it, he still tightly protected his back, as if he was afraid that Du Chenxi would snatch it back.
Du Chenxi was stunned for a moment, her hands maintained the posture of holding the bowl, and it took a while to realize what she had done.
Her face turned red as soon as she rubbed the ground, she was actually grabbing something to eat with her children? Although it was unintentional, it was too embarrassing to say it.
She laughed awkwardly a few times, looked at the cute little brother with a wary face, and was relieved, "That...... Little brother, I made a mistake this time! Blunder! I'll make a little more for you next time. ”
Song Jiamu's hand holding the bowl relaxed a little, he held the bowl, looking at the sugar balls with only half a bowl left, and his heart was so distressed that he was about to bleed.
He took small bites, eating only one small pill at a time, reluctant to swallow them all.
Suddenly, a question occurred to him.
