Chapter 273: Turning Conflict into Friendship
Zhou Yu sat on the side and nibbled on the corn cob, looking at the two of them with slanted eyes, without too much expression on his face.
Originally, he didn't want to fight for anything, he just wanted to be friends with the two brothers and sisters, so it didn't do him any good for them to turn against each other, and he also hoped that the two could reconcile as before.
Xiao Shuangning is like this, where is Xiao Youchen still hard pretending, he quickly took the sweet potato, and said with a smile: "No, no, how can I be angry with you!" Thank you, Ningning. β
As he spoke, he began to eat sweet potatoes with relish, and Xiao Shuangning smiled when he saw him like this.
"Hmmm! It's so sweet, and the sweet potatoes are delicious. β
"Brother, then do you still want me to be friends with Zhou Yu?"
Xiao Youchen turned his head slightly and glanced at Zhou Yu. After a long time, he squeezed out a word from his lips, "Well-see that his performance today is not bad, observe first, didn't he say that he wanted to repeat the grade?" If he can get into the top 25 in the exam next semester with his true ability, then I will not only agree with you to be his friend, but I will also make him a friend. β
He thought, since he couldn't stop the friendship between them, why not turn Zhou Yu into a qualified friend and make him an honor student, so as not to lead Xiaoshuang astray.
Twenty-five?
Zhou Yu was so shocked that his jaw was about to fall, he was the penultimate in a thousand years! If you want to squeeze into the top twenty-five at once, isn't that a fantasy?
This damn Tang Youchen, this is obviously deliberately making things difficult! If you don't want to be friends with me, just say it directly, why bother to come out like this.
"Okay, it's a word, and it's a puppy to regret it." Xiao Shuangning was very excited, and agreed to Xiao Youchen's request in one bite.
No? What's going on?
Zhou Yu is even more nonsensical, what did these two brothers and sisters treat him for?
He couldn't understand the thoughts of the two siblings, but he knew that he had a few catties and taels, and if he wanted to make the iron tree bloom, wouldn't it be difficult to go to the sky?
"Okay, whoever repents is the puppy." Xiao Youchen scraped Xiao Shuangning's nose with his fingers, and the two laughed heartily.
Xiao Shuangning took Xiao Youchen's hand and dragged him to Zhou Yu, "Since this is the case, then you will shake hands and make peace, and you don't need to look at each other and get tired of each other in the future, and find trouble with each other." β
Xiao Shuangning pulled the two hands together and manually asked the two to shake hands.
The two were a little reluctant at first, looking at each other unnaturally, a little embarrassed.
"I never thought of making trouble for him, he deliberately provoked trouble." Zhou Yu complained aggrievedly.
The three of them tore through the weeds, which were more than half a man's height, and ran into the dense woods, and did not stop running until they could no longer hear the insults.
Xiao Shuangning and Xiao Youchen were tired and sweaty, panting, looking at each other and smiling.
Zhou Yu was confused, standing aside and touching the sweat on his forehead, still complaining secretly in his heart. In this summer, running a marathon is really not an easy task, especially for a child like him who grows up in a honey pot, he is tired enough, and he doesn't even have the strength to ask why.
He's just a fart. He sat down on the ground, gasping for air.
Xiao Shuangning said: "Brother, we haven't been like this for a long time. β
After all, they are native children in the mountains, and no matter how sensible they are, they are also children after all. A picnic like this is an essential childhood fun for every child in the mountains.
It is not uncommon for them to engage in sabotage and attract abuse from adults.
Xiao Youchen returned: "Yes! When we get to junior high school, we are adults, and we can't do such things anymore, this time it's a goodbye to our childhood! β
"You said that if we ran slower and really got caught in front of my mother, would she beat us?"
"Thisβjust hit it! Anyway, it's the last time, and she may not be able to find a chance to fight in the future. β
"......" Xiao Shuangning didn't know what to say, Xiao Youchen's words made her feel a little sad.
In the past, when she was by Wu Ju's side, she dreamed of growing up, because in that way, she would not have to be beaten by them again, she could have her own life, she could go out to make money to support herself. But when she lived with Xiao Youchen and Shumei, she was afraid that she would grow up, she didn't want to grow up, she wanted to be her mother's child forever, always under the protection of Xiao Youchen, and didn't want to face life alone.
She looked down at the sweet potato in her hand that had not yet been broken, and her smile stopped abruptly.
"Please, two bosses, can you tell me what we're going to run?" Zhou Yuxi was breathed enough, and finally opened his mouth to ask the doubts in his heart.
"Didn't you just hear someone scolding? We stole sweet potatoes and corn from other people, and if we didn't run, would we wait for others to catch them? β
"Steal?" Zhou Yu looked at the corn cob in his hand, took it in his mouth and took a bite, "This can also be called stealing?" In broad daylight, we didn't go to other people's houses to get it. β
"Nonsense, you think these are wild? This is all planted by the farmer's uncle, and if you don't ask yourself, it will be regarded as stealing, didn't the teacher teach you? β
"So? I thought that you honor students were all good children, but I didn't think about it, and you actually brought me to steal things, it seems that I misunderstood the word 'good boy'. Zhou Yu said, throwing the corn cob in his hand into the grass in disgust.
"You-"
Zhou Yu's words made Xiao Youchen cry and laugh, and he really didn't know how to answer.
Xiao Shuangning smiled and said: "Zhou Yu, this is indeed not a good thing, but the people who do these things are all children, children!" Just like you and me, we can't distinguish right from wrong correctly, so it's inevitable to make mistakes. Since we all know that it is wrong today, then we will not do it in the future, and you must not follow suit, am I not here to celebrate our acquaintance? It's just an exception, not an example. β
Although this is not a big mistake, Xiao Shuangning feels that it is better not to let Zhou Yu follow suit. Small mistakes will eventually lead to big mistakes. She didn't want to make mistakes herself, and she certainly didn't want her friends to make mistakes.
Xiao Youchen was really relieved to see Ning Ning like this, he had to admit that Ning Ning had grown up, really grown up, and he could tell right from wrong.
"Well, I swear, there will never be a next time." Zhou Yu stood up from the ground and swore an oath to the sky.
As the sun set and night was about to fall, the three of them laughed and walked down the mountain.
In the evening, Shumei dragged her tired body back home. Because of sweat, the clothes on his body grew one sweat flower after another, unkempt, an authentic peasant.
As soon as she entered, the two children hurried forward to help her pick up the hoe and the basket.
"Mom, you're back, come and put a hoe for me!"
"Mom, give me the basket!"
Although it was just some trivial things, it also warmed Shumei's heart.
The two children quickly put the hoe and the basket away, and before they could wait for her fart. Sitting firmly, Xiao Youchen came over with a basin of water, "Mom, come, wash the soil on your face and hands, and you can eat immediately." β
Time flies, with the quiet departure of time day by day, the two children who used to only make noodles can now cook and stir-fry, this day's problem, no need for Shumei to do it again, the two children can also do it.
Especially during the winter and summer vacations, the two children not only contracted three meals a day, laundry and sweeping, but also followed Shumei to help in the field, and Shumei instantly felt a lot more relaxed.
Shumei washed her hands and face and entered the hall, where three bowls of sweet potato porridge had been placed on the table, and a bowl of red oil dressed as capers.
Although it is all coarse tea and light rice, it is another fun to eat together as a family. Even if you drink porridge, it is better than the delicacies of the mountains and seas.
The three of them sat on the shabby old square table and ate with relish.
"I almost forgot, you are so obedient today, did you not do well in the exam?"
Shumei suddenly thought that today was the day of the results, and inexplicably associated the children's dedication with the test results.
"Mom, aren't we usually bad? Is it good only today? Your association is too far-fetched, isn't it? Xiao Shuangning felt that Shumei was too inconsiderate when she said this, and muttered angrily.
Shumei pondered for a moment, and felt that it seemed that the two children had always been very good to themselves and sensible.
"That-it's not your fault, if you don't show me the result notice as soon as possible, it makes me think blindly."
"You've read the results for so many years, has there ever been a time that has disappointed you?" Xiao Shuangning continued to nail and eye, and the pixels and Shumei were on the bar.
"Yes, I don't seem to have been disappointed."
"Isn't this the end of it, will there be an exception this time? And even if there were, it would only be a surprise. Xiao Shuangning pretended to be serious and said mysteriously.
Xiao Youchen listened carefully, ate the porridge in the bowl, and didn't say anything.
"Surprise?"
"Yes! Yes, it will only be a surprise, Mom, do you want to know? If you really want to know, you'll have to grant me a request. β
"Good! Your wings are stiff, aren't they? How dare you ask your mother? Shumei poked Xiao Shuangning's forehead hard with her index finger, and there was still some anger in her words.
"It hurts, so you don't want to hear the surprise?"
"You ......"
Xiao Youchen finally spoke, "Okay! Condensation. β
"Brother, what are you doing? How can you not talk without words, didn't you say that it was okay, and my mother promised us, and we only told her? β
"......" Xiao Youchen was untrustworthy for his words and didn't know what to say.
Shumei looked at the mysterious appearance of the two children, and felt a little uneasy, "Youchen, what is there that I need to promise you, don't beat around the bush, say it!" Mom knows that you are all sensible children, who know how to measure things, and will never make unreasonable demands. β
"Hmm......" Xiao Youchen hesitated.
Shumei was even more anxious when she saw him like this. Xiao Shuangning couldn't help, although Xiao Youchen said that she had something to ask Shumei, but she didn't tell Xiao Shuangning what it was, so she could only be anxious and wait for Xiao Youchen to say what she requested.
"It's okay, as long as it's not vexatious, my mother will promise you."
"Brother, you say! Mom said she would promise you, so just say it! What the hell is going on? β
Xiao Youchen looked at Shumei and Xiao Shuang's expectant eyes, and he flinched.
Now the family is doing well, Xiao Shuangning is also living happily, he doesn't want to break the status quo because of his selfishness.
