Rong Ting was frightened by that eye, and it wasn't until she was held in her mother's arms that she felt safe.

"Rong Ting is gone?" Chen Lan walked over with a basin, "I'm about to make dumplings!" ”

Xiao Jun casually fiddled with the fruit on the table and replied casually: "Her mother called her and said that there was something at home. ”

Chen Lan walked over and sat on the opposite side of the sofa: "Junjun, what do you think?" Rong Ting is a good girl, beautiful, and has a small factory at home, if you like people, take the initiative, I think that girl has you in her heart! ”

"Or do you have another girlfriend at school?" Chen Lan said tentatively, "How does it look?" Is there money in the family? When will I bring it back to my mother? ”

"Mom, where is there a girlfriend, don't talk nonsense." Xiao Jun denied it, turned his head and said worriedly, "How is my sister-in-law's condition?" It's not a way to keep it locked up like this, why don't you send her to the hospital? ”

Chen Lan's face sank: "Don't worry about your sister-in-law!" ”

Chen Lan stood up and went back to the kitchen to continue preparing the family's lunch.

"Ugh." Xiao Jun sighed softly, lowered his forehead, and the bangs in front of his forehead hid the sadness in his eyes.

That night, Xiao Qian, the eldest brother of the Xiao family, who had been working for a day, returned home covered in dust.

"Big brother, you're back! I'm going to eat chocolate! Xiaomei ran onto Xiao Qian and rummaged up and down her pockets.

Xiao Qian pulled Xiaomei off himself with a straight face: "Stand up, girls, pay attention to the image." ”

Xiaomei's body twisted into a twist, pouting and saying unhappily: "Bring me chocolate if you say yes, big brother, your words don't count!" ”

"Little girl." Xiao Qian smiled dotingly, took out a piece of chocolate from his sleeve and shook it in front of Xiaomei: "When did Big Brother lie to you?" ”

"Wow! Big brother is the best! Xiaomei jumped up, snatched the chocolate from Xiao Qian's hand, and ran away with a cheer.

"Big brother, you buy chocolates for Xiaomei again." Xiao Jun came out of the kitchen with two plates of dishes.

Xiao Qian stood up straight, and his tone returned to a flat tone: "It won't cost a few dollars." ”

"Well, big brother, wash your hands and eat!" After Xiao Jun finished speaking, he went back to serve the bowl.

"Meimei, it's time to eat—" Chen Lan called her daughter loudly with the soup, and instructed her second son: "Let's serve your eldest brother dinner first!" ”

Xiaomei happily ran into the living room, and four pairs of chopsticks were already placed on the table, a plate of shredded potatoes, a plate of vinegared cabbage, a pot of leftover dumplings at noon, and a fish.

"Junjun, Meimei, since your father died, it is all up to your eldest brother to provide you with education, you must remember, and repay your eldest brother well in the future, do you know?" Chen Lan remembered the hardships of those years and almost cried.

"What are you talking about? One of my own brothers, one of my own sisters, I don't care who cares about them? Xiao Qian sandwiched a piece of fish meat for Chen Lan: "Mom, you eat more." ”

Xiao Jun added another bowl of soup to Xiao Qian: "Mom, don't worry, I remember how well my eldest brother treated me." Big brother, there is something I want to tell you, I recently applied for a scholarship, there are 5,000, plus the usual part-time job, you don't have to pay me. ”

"Really?" Chen Lan knew that her second son was studying well, and he often got scholarships in previous years, "So much in college? ”

Xiao Jun nodded affirmatively: "Yes, plus the eldest brother has just gotten married, it is time to take good care of the sister-in-law." ”

"Five thousand is enough for you to spend?" Xiao Qian has a dull temperament and doesn't like to be polite: "Don't think about bad ideas, study hard." ”

"Big brother, why don't you believe me!" Xiao Jun was a little anxious, flipped out his mobile phone, and showed Xiao Qian a photo: "Look, this is my certificate." ”

Xiao Qian glanced at it casually and nodded with satisfaction.

"Big brother, it's not easy for sister-in-law to follow you, you must treat her well." Xiao Jun put away his mobile phone and said in high spirits, "Our family will definitely get better and better, sooner or later, one day, I will take my mother, eldest brother, and Xiaomei to live in the city!" ”

Xiao Qian said in a muffled voice: "Just live your life well, Mom, Xiaomei and me!" ”

"Big brother, I'm also my mother's son, Xiaomei's brother, I can't let you bear it all!" Xiao Jun said excitedly that his father died suddenly due to illness, and the family's money was spent, and it was the eldest brother who dropped out of school and went to work on the construction site to support the whole family.

"Okay." Xiao Qian's voice was a little hoarse, and he lowered his head to drink the soup.

"Xiao Qian, remember to send your daughter-in-law something to eat later." Chen Lan saw that the two sons had finished talking, and then asked: "I didn't make much trouble today, it seems that the illness is much better." ”

"As long as we can live a good life, we will definitely not treat her badly."

Xiaomei joined in the fun: "The eldest brother is a good person, and the sister-in-law used to be a good person, they will definitely be good!" ”

"Xiaomei is really good, I'll go to do my homework by myself in a while, and if I don't understand, ask my second brother, do you know?" Chen Lan touched Xiaomei's little head and smiled gently.

Xiaomei nodded: "I want to be like the second brother, get a scholarship, and then let the eldest brother enjoy it!" ”

Chen Lan's voice choked: "Okay." Although her husband died early, the three children loved each other and supported each other, which was a great comfort.

After dinner, Xiaomei was rushed to do her homework, Xiao Jun helped Chen Lan clean up the table, and Xiao Qian went to the backyard to take a shower.

Half an hour later, Xiao Qian finally cleaned up, and walked to the hut to the west with a round iron bowl in his hand, with a strange iron fist and a half-meter-long iron chain underneath.

With a "click", the small window on the door was opened, and Xiao Qian pushed the iron bowl in, and the iron chain was firmly grasped in his hand.

"Are you feeling better today? I'm not at home all day, I have to go out to earn money, you know, my second brother is in college, my younger sister is in elementary school, it's when I need money. But today the second brother said that he can support himself and ask me to treat you well in the future, Qingqing, I remember that you like blue skirts very much, I'll buy it for you tomorrow, okay? Xiao Qian leaned against the small window, and his voice was rarely gentle.

"Qingqing, I'll wait for you."

After waiting for a long time, he still couldn't hear half a minute of movement, Xiao Qian spoke again in disappointment: "Qingqing, is it okay to eat a little?" You haven't eaten in days. I'm really worried about you. ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! "Suddenly there was the sound of smashing things in the house.

Xiao Qian was nervous: "Qingqing, what are you doing?" Don't hurt your hands! ”

In order to prevent Qingqing from hurting herself, there was nothing left in the house, except for a bed and a few pieces of heavy wooden furniture.

Can be used to smash the after, Qingqing himself.

"Qingqing, you don't want to hear me?" Xiao Qian asked tentatively, and sure enough, the movement inside was small, and Xiao Qian couldn't help but have a sour nose: "Okay, I'll go!" Eat something first, though! ”

After waiting for a long time, Xiao Qian finally felt the chain in his hand being pulled.

Qingqing is finally willing to eat! Xiao Qian covered his mouth to prevent himself from laughing happily.

But in five minutes, the iron bowl was pushed out hard.

Listening to the sound inside, Xiao Qian knew that Qingqing might have fallen down on the bed, so he reluctantly closed the small window and relocked it before going back to his room to sleep.
