Du Xuze stroked her smooth shoulders against her full forehead, and his mood stabilized a lot: "Am I too much of a failure to be an elder brother?" I was loved the most by my parents, but after my father passed away and my mother left, I only hid my head outside to make money, but I was stingy with my feelings, for fear that my younger siblings would not give back to me for a long time.

I'm out there, but they are all hungry at home, yellow and thin, Xixi her, she was half sold and half married off by the third aunt. Xixi is sensible, she never tells me, and she also asks someone to bring things to the family during the New Year's holidays.

I always thought she was doing well, but today I realized how wrong I was when I watched her face bruise in the dilapidated yard and washed a dozen pots of clothes with cold water with her two-year-old baby on her back. ”

Zuo Ranjia held his hand and shook his head: "It's not too late for you to take on the responsibility of being an elder brother now." ”

"Why isn't it too late, Xixi is married to an alcoholic now, that person has no ability and only knows how to drink all day long, and when he comes home, he punches and kicks his wife and children. If she hadn't stopped me, I would have chopped him with a knife! Du Xuze was so angry that his chest rose and fell violently, and the ruthlessness in his tone made Zuo Ranjia not doubt the truth of his words at all.

"You don't have to put your own future on the line for such a person, now it's New China, and it's the marriage law that is being implemented. Xixi can divorce that person with a child, and in ancient times, there was still a talk of Heli, why did you come to you pedanticly afraid that you would be pointed at and didn't want to take them in Mother and Son? Zuo Ranjia nodded at his hard chest and asked dissatisfiedly.

Du Xuze was a little absent-minded when he was poked by her, he hurriedly grabbed her naughty fingers and shook his head again and again: "How come, is Ye the kind of person who is afraid of other people's eyes?" That's my sister and nephew. It's just," he sighed, "I didn't think about divorce at the time, I just wanted to take her home." But Xixi disagreed, saying that it was her home, and the baby couldn't live without her father.

Xixi said that she had endured the hardships of not being bullied and gossiped by her parents, and she couldn't let her children go through it again. In the final analysis, she still blames me, who is a brother, for not taking responsibility and not protecting her. ”

His eyes were a little moist, and he buried his head in her neck, burning her skin.

Zuo Ranjia's heart was sour, "No, if she complains about you, how can she give us a coarse cloth woven by herself when we get married?" She is afraid that you will do something impulsively and ruin your future, and she is also afraid that she will come back with the child and cause you trouble.

If you want me to say, when we come back from my aunt's house, I will accompany you to my eldest sister's house to administer justice for her and divorce that person. Let's take the mother and son into the house, and we'll take care of the rest in the long run. ”

"Daughter-in-law, will you be unhappy? I, I will work hard to earn money to support my family, and I will never let you suffer because I have two mouths added to my family. Du Xuze suddenly remembered that he had no parents, and at this moment he picked up the responsibility of being an elder brother, and also imposed the responsibility of taking care of a large family on Zuo Ranjia, and the guilt in his heart almost overwhelmed him. Both sides didn't want to give up, and he didn't want them to be wronged, so he didn't know what to do for a while.

"Fool, Xixi is your sister, and she is also my sister. I don't have any relatives anymore, they are my relatives. Besides, they are sensible and hurt people, so I should be happy. Okay, what are you a big man struggling with, the momentum of cutting through the mess when you split up?

We are a family and it is as it should be to take care of each other. Zuo Ranjia bit his ear lightly, and said with a smile: "Go to sleep, I have to go to my aunt's house tomorrow." ”

Du Xuze stiffened, restless somewhere, where can he sleep?

He just hugged her quietly, with a faint smile on the corner of his lips, listening to her breathing in his arms gradually lengthening, and his heart was as happy as if he had drunk a jar of honey that could not be dissolved.

With Zuo Ranjia, his days suddenly became rushed, and the muddy world became clear and real. His heart, surrounded by hard stones, was cared for by her, beating strongly.

It was just six o'clock, and there was already the sound of Du Xuqing's three small endorsements outside the courtyard, and the two people who were not too big or too small to disturb each other opened their eyes with difficulty.

"Du Xuqing, that kid," Du Xuze gritted his teeth and scolded with a smile, "What he wants to do, he really tries to do it." ”

"This is an advantage worth cultivating," Zuo Ranjia sat up with the quilt in her arms, urging Du Xuze to get up: "After washing and eating, it's early to go out at eight o'clock." ”

Du Xuze scratched his head, sat up suddenly, hugged Zuo Ranjia fiercely and kissed him for a while, and then smiled: "Okay, the master is full of blood and resurrected!" With that, he dressed neatly and carried the bathtub out the door.

He knew that his daughter-in-law loved cleanliness very much, and every time the two made love, she would take a bath and get up refreshingly.

After a busy morning, they simply ate hand-rolled noodles and carried the Boxing gifts one by one to the motorcycle.

The north wind whistles on winter mornings, and everyone who listens to it feels too cold. Zuo Ranjia is not tolerant of cold, where can she take care of the smelly beauty, she wears a set of warmth inside, and then a cashmere sweater with a cotton suit, a hat and a thick scarf.

One big and three young were also stared at by her and changed into the thickest clothes, brought scarves, earmuffs and gloves, and smeared a few more layers of horse oil on their faces, after all, the countryside was surrounded by fields, and it was colder than the densely built cities, and sitting on a motorcycle, the wind would drill into people's flesh and bones like needles.

The motorcycle with the body was very large, and Zuo Ranjia sat in the body with Du Jinqi in her arms, with a lot of things under her feet. Du Xuqing and Du Xuyuan sat behind Du Xuze, hugging his waist tightly, and there were also some things tied to the iron frame behind them.

After locking the door, Du Xuze started the motorcycle, and the buzzing sound attracted many boys to rush out of the courtyard door to look at it. Du Xubo and Du Xuhong poked their heads out, and the envy, jealousy and hatred in their eyes pleased Du Xuqing and Du Xuyuan.

The two children proudly bared their teeth and waved their hands high, and said to the other friends, "Let's go to relatives and come back to play with you." ”

Du Xuze hooked the corner of his lips and stepped on the accelerator, then ran out, leaving a group of boys who followed to the mouth of the alley to stop and watch for a long time.

"Du Xubo, I said that your family is sick in the brain, aren't the brothers of Du Xuqing and Du Xuyuan your brothers? Where is the reason why someone pushes such a powerful brother out? ”

"Yes, yes, if you don't separate your family, then you don't just sit on the motorcycle, and you can't leave you with good food and clothing! What a stupidity, if it were me, then I wouldn't have to hug my brother's thighs tightly? ”

A group of children clapped their hands at Du Xubo and Du Xuyuanhong and laughed at them, learning what they heard from adults whispering at home without concealing it.

The brothers' faces were flushed, but they agreed in their hearts, why should they divide the family well, what was delicious and good to wear before, they didn't come first by themselves, and they were happy to throw a bite to Du Xuqing and Du Xuyuan, when will they let the two wild children who have no father and mother stand on their heads and pee!

They were so angry that they slammed the door shut, and there was a whisper in their ears that the group of children were making up their mouths. They ran to Meng Guixiang and began to cry: "Mother, why should we split up with them, otherwise I can ride a motorcycle with a bucket and eat those delicious foods." ”

"Yes, mother, I want to wear new clothes, you go and rip off Du Xuqing's rabbit cub's clothes for me to wear."

Meng Guixiang was taking the soles of her shoes, listening to their noisy words, her head hurt, and she hurriedly shouted: "Hey, my two little ancestors are here, what are you making a fuss about?" Didn't you look at it when you split the family, is it the family that your mother wants to divide? It's clear that your eldest brother took a knife to his mother's neck and forced us out. ”

"I don't care, I don't care, I want to drink milk powder and eat biscuits!" Du Xuhong stood on tiptoe and saw milk and tin box biscuits in the car body, seven-year-old he was a person who had tasted milk powder and biscuits, and the sweet taste was engraved in his pitiful memory, so he was naturally even more greedy. In the past, Du Xuze would buy some for the children at home during the Chinese New Year, but after delivering the things, he hurriedly left again, and those delicious food, clothing, and play naturally belonged to their three rooms.

"I want to wear a new jacket, just on Du Xuqing's cub!" Although Du Xubo is the same age as Du Xuqing, he is spoiled by Meng Guixiang, and he is not as sensible as Du Xuyuan, an eight-year-old child, with a posture of rolling on the ground if you don't follow me.

"Stop, stop, stop! My little ancestor comes, let's eat a can and drink some milk, okay? Meng Guixiang was really noisy, she thought that she would take half of the gifts sent by Du Xuze back to her parents' house, on the one hand, to save face, tell everyone that she was a prosperous husband, and brought her husband's family to the city, and she lived very well, and she kept chickens, fish, eggs, and meat. On the other hand, it is to make amends to his brother and sister-in-law and his father, his nephew originally lived well in his own house, and as soon as Du Xuze came back, he drove people back.

Her mother's family is the strength she can be strong in this family, if she is wronged, she still has to rely on her brothers and nephews to seek justice for herself, this is the stubborn idea of all Chinese women.

Now that she is worried about this group of little cubs, she is afraid that she will take a lot of things back to her parents' house.

"Mother, where did you get the canned food and milk?" Du Xufeng came out coldly and asked.

Meng Guixiang was stunned, her heart was a little empty, she heard the next door say that she was going to come to the house to give gifts, and sent the children out early. So they didn't know that there was some delicious food at home, and she coughed violently, "Isn't this a gift from the people over there to your grandfather?" My mother wants to give you food for the New Year. ”

The three boys all nodded, without a hint of suspicion, and stared at her for something to eat.

Du Jinhan came out of his room and laughed twice, "Brother, do you really believe in your mother's words, didn't my mother send all the good things she saved to grandma's house in previous years, and most of them went into my cousin's stomach?" ”

"Hanhan, what do you say? In which year did you have a delicious mother, didn't you follow you first, and didn't Xing Niang save some money for your grandma to take back to try it? Meng Guixiang glared at her daughter fiercely, she was really a little white-eyed wolf with no conscience.
