Chapter 480: Brothers (I)

"Brother Jin!" Eleven Niang was surprised and delighted, it was the first time she heard her son "speak". Hurriedly pointed to the toy in Xu Sizhen's hand: "Is it fun?" ”

Brother Jin clenched his small fists and watched intently with his dark eyes open.

"Mother, mother," Xu Sizhen was also happy, "The sixth brother likes chickens to peck rice!" ”

"Hmm!" Eleven Niang smiled and nodded.

Xu Sizhen was a little excited and pulled the thread.

The chick's head keeps pecking at the rice trough.

But after a moment, Brother Jin'er's attention shifted—his gaze fell on Xu Siyu's body.

Eleven Niang pointed to Xu Siyu: "That's the second brother!" The voice was soft and intimate.

Xu Siyu couldn't help but walk over.

He looked at Brother Jin'er's pink little face, and stretched out to shake Brother Jin'er's chubby little hand, but halfway through the hand, he took it back.

Such a simple thing, Eleven Niang didn't know why Xu Siyu behaved like this.

Or, what once happened to him!

Eleven Niang has no intention of bearing the bitterness of the past, she hopes that the children will have a heart that is kind to each other.

She thought about it for a while, and handed Brother Jin to Xu Siyu: "Do you want to hug it?" ”

Xu Siyu looked at Eleven Niang in surprise, and then his eyes slowly fell on Brother Jin, who was staring at him intently: "Let me hug me?" His eyes widened, his tone full of uncertainty, and his expression revealed a bit of childishness.

Could it be that I am thinking about the problem too complicated?

After all, Xu Siyu is only a thirteen-year-old boy, and this society advocates "gentlemen and distant cooks", let alone holding children.

Eleven Niang smiled: "You won't hug it if you want to!" As he spoke, he held Brother Jin'er's head and let Brother Jin lie on his shoulder. Her expression also became as soft and quiet as a spring breeze with this movement.

Xu Siyu's heart shook slightly, and the stern and somewhat annoying voice echoed in his ears in the depths of his memory: "Don't let Brother Yu get close to Brother Zhen'er." Who knows where he went wild? Be careful to bring in the dirt and dirt, and dirt the realm. Brother Zhen is a son-in-law, a daughter-in-law. It's not a cat or a dog, it's a ...... if you don't have it."

In the middle of the ghost's mission, he suddenly stretched out his hand: "How to hug?" ”

Seeing Xu Siyu's expression, Eleven Niang was a little dazed, but hesitated.

But in Sister Zhen'er's eyes, the second brother's appearance just looked a little awkward.

It's because his mother wants him to hug his sixth brother, and the second brother doesn't know how to hug him!

She thought about it and walked over with a smile: "Second brother, let me tell you how to hold the sixth brother!" "Say, go and hug my brother.

He was next to him, and Brother Jin was wearing a thick jacket and pants.

Eleven Niang smiled and gave the child to Sister Zhen'er.

Sister Zhen showed Xu Siyu: "Second brother, look, you have to hug like this!" Especially the head, you must hold it, the sixth brother's neck has no strength yet! ”

"Oh!" Xu Siyu was a little clumsy and landed with Brother Jin.

The *** of the pink jade carving, wearing a big red Hangzhou silk jacket, was lying in his arms, his head was heavy, his body was soft, and he changed the posture of his body with the holding posture he posed...... He lay quietly in the crook of his arm, waving his little hands happily...... Not worried, not afraid...... Trust him and don't hurt him...... Suddenly, my heart became astringent, and there was wet moisture swirling in my eyes......

He lowered his head and blinked, trying to make his world clear again, but Brother Jin in his arms cried "wow".

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Xu Siyu couldn't care about anything anymore, and looked at Eleven Niang and Sister Zhen for help, looking a little panicked.

Sister Zhen looked at Xu Siyu's somewhat embarrassed appearance, and thought of the scene when she hugged Brother Jin for the first time...... She was about to step forward to help Xu Siyu, but Eleven Niang said, "It's okay, it's okay!" As he spoke, he stepped forward to pick up the child, "He doesn't like others to hug him horizontally like this, he wants to hug him vertically!" ”

Xu Siyu did not hand over the child to Eleven Niang, but learned the way Eleven Niang hugged the child just now, and hugged Brother Jin vertically: "Do you want to hold it like this?" ”

Eleven Niang was a little surprised, raised her eyelids and looked at Xu Siyu carefully, seeing that his expression was gentle, his expression was calm, his heart was slightly settled, he smiled "um", and then gently patted Brother Jin's back.

Brother Jin immediately stopped crying.

Xu Siyu let out a long breath, and the whole person was slackened.

Eleven Niang asked the little maid to twist the warm handkerchief and wipe Brother Jin'er's face. While smearing him with grease, he sighed: "With such a big temper, how can you get it when you grow up!" ”

"The sixth brother is still young!" Xu Siyu carefully held Brother Jin'er's head, and said a little defensively, "When he is older, he reads the book, and understands the reason, he will know." ”

"By the time he reads, I'm afraid it's too late!" Eleven Niang smiled casually, and didn't want to talk to Xu Siyu about the importance of children's early education - because she might not understand Xu Siyu after talking about it, and maybe she thought she was incredible.

And Sister Zhen saw that Xu Siyu was holding Brother Jin motionlessly, and hurriedly stepped forward to guide him: "You have to carry him around...... If he doesn't do this, he'll start crying again! ”

Xu Siyu said "oh" and walked up in the house with Brother Jin in his arms.

Brother Jin obediently lay on his shoulder and did not move.

When Xu Sichen saw it, he pulled the sleeve of Eleven Niang, raised his head and said, "Mother, I also want to hug the sixth brother!" ”

Xu Sijie also followed suit: "Mother, I also want to hold the sixth brother!" ”

Eleven Niang looked at the two and a half children, one with a bean sprout-like figure, and the other with thin arms and legs, and said with a smile: "When you are as old as the second brother, you can hold the sixth brother!" ”

Both children bowed their heads in disappointment.

A little maid said through the curtain: "Master Hou is back!" ”

The people in the room were stunned, the curtain had been lifted high, and Xu Lingyi strode in.

Eleven Niang and Sister Zhen bowed their knees, Xu Sizhen and Xu Sizhen bowed, and they were both short. Only Xu Siyu was holding Brother Jin'er, and it happened suddenly, and it was not good to salute or not salute, which seemed particularly abrupt. And Xu Lingyi was even more surprised when he saw that Xu Siyu was back, and he was still holding Brother Jin. But he quickly suppressed his emotions and said with a serious expression: "I'm back!" ”

Gu's mother hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Brother Jin'er.

Xu Siyu respectfully saluted his father.

Xu Lingyi nodded, and the little maid served her to wash her face, change her clothes, and sit on the big kang by the window.

Shi Niang took the tea from the maid and put it in front of him, standing sideways.

Sister Zhen stood next to her mother, several boys stood side by side in front of the kang, and Gu's mother stood next to Sister Zhen with Brother Jin in her arms.

Xu Lingyi took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and then said slowly: "What books have you read in Luoye Mountain these days?" There was a solemnity between his eyebrows.

Xu Siyu said respectfully: "According to Mr. Jiang's instructions, I reread the "Analects" and "University", and Runian is reading "The Mean". ”

Xu Lingyi nodded slightly and asked Xu Sizhen: "How did Mr. Zhao do his homework?" ”

Compared with Xu Siyu, Xu Sizhen was a little nervous: "Most of it has been done." There are still 100 large characters left to be written. Saying that, as if he was afraid that Xu Lingyi would blame, he said hurriedly, "However, Mr. will not come back until after the Lantern Festival, and there is still more than half a month to go." I'll be able to do it then. He added, "There is also the flute prescribed by the gentleman, who practices playing the flute for half an hour every day, and my fifth brother and I practice every day, and we have never been lazy." ”

Xu Sijie saw his brother mention himself, and nodded hurriedly.

Xu Lingyi was very dissatisfied with Xu Sizhen's answer.

If it's done, it's done, and if it's not done, it's not done. Defending one's own unfinished business is a matter of attitude.

He frowned slightly.

Eleven Niang, who had been observing Xu Lingyi's expression, saw it and gently "coughed".

Xu Lingyi thought of Shi Niang and said Xu Sizhen, "Some people can be taught as soon as they are taught, and some people will be taught several times." If we parents can't be more patient and give more time to our children, who else is willing to tolerate him", and his brows slowly relaxed.

"You can listen to Mr. Zhao well. In the future, you can't lead your younger brother, and you can't be playful. Do your homework before Mr. Zhao returns. ”

Xu Sizhen's heart was relieved, and his posture was not as stiff as just now.

He replied in a low voice, with a hint of joy in his tone.

Xu Lingyi endured it so that he didn't frown again.

It's not a word of praise, how can he be satisfied like this.

Thinking of this, he was depressed for a while, and his eyes turned to his youngest son.

Brother Jin was staring at him.

Big eyes, as clear as a mountain spring.

His expression softened and asked, "How is Brother Jin today?" ”

Eleven Niang said with a smile: "I slept from morning to noon, Gu's mother was afraid that he would return to milk, so she hugged him and walked around the house, who knew that he would not sleep." I've been playing until now! ”

Xu Lingyi listened, and his expression eased a little.

Gu's mother hurriedly hugged the child over.

Xu Siyu and Xu Sizhen saw their always strict father gently hugging *** in his arms, stretched out his index finger and touched Brother Jin'er's small hand that was clenched into a fist, Brother Jin immediately opened his hand and held his father's index finger tightly in the palm of his hand.

Xu Lingyi had a few smiles between her eyebrows.

"Such a good spirit?" He asked Shi Niang, "What did you play from morning to noon?" Can't even sleep? ”

Eleven Niang smiled, "My brother and sister are here, and he is also joining in the fun!" ”

Xu Lingyi's smile deepened, and she lowered her head and talked to Brother Jin'er: "Our Brother Jin still knows how to join in the fun!" ”

Brother Jin yawned at him.

Xu Lingyi smiled and handed the child to Gu's mother: "It seems to be sleepy." ”

Gu's mother hurriedly took Brother Jin to the warm pavilion.

The smile on Xu Lingyi's face gradually faded again.

"It's almost the New Year, and the family is coming and going, but the homework can't be left behind." As he spoke, he glanced at Xu Siyu, and his gaze paused on his dusty boots, and said, "Since I'm back, I'm not in a hurry at this time." You go back and freshen up and change your clothes, and then go and say hello to your grandmother. After speaking, he looked at Xu Sizhen and Xu Sijie, "It's not too early, you guys should go back to the house!" Your second brother will come back today, and we will all go to my grandmother's for dinner later. ”

The three sons bowed down in response to "yes" and tiptoed back.
