As soon as he walked into the main house, Zhang Yun smelled the fragrant smell of meat.

The pungent aroma made his mouth resound, and Zhang Yun swallowed his saliva quietly.

Speaking of which, the taste is not very foreign to him.

Every three or four days, he could smell it.

Although the Zhang family is not very rich, it is not close to poverty.

The only poor man in the family, he was the only one from beginning to end.

At this time, the food was already on the table, Zhang Yun licked his lips, lowered his head and moved forward, not daring to look over there.

He was afraid that when he saw the food on the table, he couldn't help but show embarrassment, and then be ridiculed by his sister-in-law, which was the last thing he wanted to see.

"It smells so good! Dabao likes the roast chicken made by his mother the most. ”

The soft and glutinous children's voice came into the ears, it was Zhang Dabao's voice.

Zhang Dabao is Zhang Yun's nephew, a fat little fat man, only three years younger than Zhang Yun.

At this time, Zhang Dabao was intoxicated, lying on the dining table greedily smelling the aroma of roast chicken.

It's just that as Zhang Yun approached, the small brows on Zhang Dabao's face furrowed slightly.

As if he was looking for something, his little brain swayed back and forth.

When he saw Zhang Yun standing behind him, he seemed to understand something, and pouted and complained: "It stinks!" ”

Zhang Yun's steps stiffened, and his body froze on the spot.

It stinks?

Are you talking about me?

Before Zhang Yun could figure it out, another child ran over.

The little girl in the red cotton jacket ran to Zhang Yun, leaned over with her small nose, and twitched.

Then, as if she had discovered a new world, she ran towards the Li clan and let out a silver bell-like laugh.

"Hee-hee-hee-hee, little uncle stinks, he stinks!"

There is not the slightest malice in the laughter, there is only the joy and joy of discovering something new.

But it was such an innocent voice that made Zhang Yun's body numb and felt what it meant to be cold and piercing.

No matter how cold the wind was, it couldn't make him so embarrassed.

At this moment, he seemed to understand something.

has no teacher and understands what it means to be ashamed and embarrassed.

Li's face was pale, and there was a hint of disgust in his eyes when he looked at Zhang Yun.

"Come here!"

She beckoned to the little fat man, and Zhang Dabao immediately ran over and walked to her and sat down.

The two children, one left and one right, accompanied the Li family, and seemed to be happy.

In this room, Zhang Yun seemed to have become the superfluous person, as if even his existence was breaking the harmonious atmosphere in the room.

Just when Zhang Yun was ashamed and at a loss, there was a movement of the door opening behind him.

A large hand, pressed to his shoulder.

"What's the matter? Hurry up and sit down to eat. ”

The "warmth" from behind relieved the numbness in his body, and hearing Zhang Qing's warm greeting, Zhang Yun reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said yes.

Good words are warm in three winters, and bad words are hurtful and cold in June.

Zhang Qing just came in from outside, and it was impossible for his hand to match the word "warm".

But it was such a cold hand that dispelled most of the chill in Zhang Yun's heart.

Sitting on the stool with his support on the dining table, Zhang Yun's arms were honestly placed on the table, waiting for the host to say that the meal would begin.

Zhang Qing didn't know what was going on in the house, and when he saw that everyone was there, he smiled and said, "Let's eat." ”

As he spoke, Zhang Qing stretched out his hand, grabbed the chicken leg of the roast chicken and tore it off, and was about to put it in Zhang Yun's bowl.

"Come, eat meat!"

It's just that Zhang Qing's arm just moved a little bit over there, and a pair of chopsticks came over.

Zhang Qing raised his head and looked at the owner of the chopsticks, and saw Li Shi glaring at him with round eyes.

Only this time, Zhang Qing did not avoid it again, and glared back with a tough attitude.

Seeing this, Li snorted coldly, retracted his chopsticks, and picked up the rice with a cold face.

Looking at the silent confrontation between the two, Zhang Yun looked dazed.

What's going on today?

Didn't everyone else eat it in the past, and I ate the rest?

Big brother is changing sex, I don't want to listen to my sister-in-law anymore, you want to be better to me?

Thinking of this, Zhang Yun's eyes revealed joy, looking at the chicken leg put in the bowl, his face suddenly bloomed with joy, and he happily picked up the chicken leg and nibbled on it.

"Hmmm! It smells so good! ”

Zhang Yun gobbled it up, and the others looked at it with a great appetite.

Zhang Dabao swallowed his saliva and said coquettishly: "Dad! I want it too! ”

"Got it, got it."

Zhang Qing tore open the remaining chicken leg and put it in Zhang Dabao's hand, "Here you go, give it to you, eat it quickly." ”

After speaking, he rubbed Zhang Dabao's head by the way, and saw that his expression was full of doting.

Then, the youngest daughter also began to coquettish with Zhang Qing.

There was no way, Zhang Qing had to tear open a chicken wing for her, which made her laugh, and then she had to start moving her chopsticks.

"By the way, what did you just say in the house, Xiaobao was smiling so happily?"

Xiaobao is the nickname of the little girl, hearing her name, Xiaobao raised her hands high, for fear that others would take the lead, and hurriedly replied: "I'm talking about the little uncle, the little uncle stinks, I don't believe it, you smell it!" ”

"It stinks?"

Zhang Qing was stunned when he heard this, turned his head to look at Zhang Yun, and then he saw Zhang Yun's torn cotton jacket full of stains.

Compared with the clean clothes on his children's bodies, the padded jacket Zhang Yun wore was as dirty as rubbing in the mud.

If Zhang Qing is not mistaken, this torn cotton jacket is a torn shirt that Li doesn't know where to pick it up, and it has not been clean since the day he took it.

He is a rough farmer who often rolls in the fields, and when he saw Zhang Yun wearing such clothes, he didn't feel anything wrong.

Now that I heard my daughter say that Zhang Yun smelled so bad, Zhang Qing also realized that Li had gone too far.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qing turned his head to look at the Li family who lowered his head to pick up rice.

"After eating, you go and get a clean dress for Xiaoyun, the clothes are all smelly and I don't know how to wash him, what does it look like?"

"Why?!"

Li's mood was not very good, and when he heard Zhang Qing's words, he immediately slapped the table and stood up.

The sudden movement frightened the two children, and Dabao and Xiaobao were crying, looking at their father and mother.

In the past, Zhang Qing would obediently give in and take the initiative to take the responsibility of calming the child's emotions.

But this time it was different, Zhang Qing didn't care about the small ones at all, and stood up to confront the Li family.

"If you are told to go, you will go!"

As soon as the tough words came out, the air pressure in the room suddenly dropped by two degrees, and everyone felt the breath of the wind and rain coming.

Zhang Yun's throat rolled, and he was just about to open his mouth to soften and calm the matter, but he didn't want the Li family to take the lead in retreating.

"Humph! You know that the nest is a waste! Go for it! ”

Li put down a cruel word, raised his chin haughtily, dropped his chopsticks and left the main house.

If it weren't for the declaration of defeat in her voice, it would probably make people mistakenly think that she was the winner.

Xiaobao's two siblings were frightened, tears rolling in their eyes.

Zhang Qing's gaze withdrew from Li's body, and when he saw the scared appearance of the two children, he comforted him softly: "Good, it's okay, let's eat." ”

"I want to find my mother."

Zhang Dabao said pitifully, today's father made him feel strange, and he was a little scared.

Xiaobao was the same, clenching his brother's arm and carefully observing Zhang Qing's face.

Seeing this, Zhang Qing sighed helplessly and waved his hand at the two children.

"Go ahead."

As if they had been pardoned, the brother and sister jumped off the stool and ran out hand in hand.

As an audience, Zhang Yun was uneasy, and he didn't want to let his eldest brother be in a dilemma.

"Big brother, are you alright?"

Zhang Yun asked with concern, his eyes full of concern.

Zhang Qing waved his hand indifferently and said softly: "It's okay, you eat yours." ”

Although he still felt a little uneasy, hearing what his brother said, Zhang Yun let go of his uneasiness and buried his head in cooking.

During this period, Zhang Qing watched him quietly until Zhang Yun was full of food and drink.

"Xiaoyun, there are some things that my brother wants to talk to you about."

"Big brother, you say."

Zhang Yun sat down and said obediently.

"Hmm......" Zhang Qing looked at his younger brother with complicated eyes, muttered for a few seconds, and said with difficulty: "You also know that the world is difficult now, and there is no surplus food at home......

Is there no food left at home?

Zhang Yun listened and secretly glanced at the corner.

In the corner, the white rice in the three rice tanks was piled up high, and even the lid of the pressure cylinder could not be closed.

The rice in this room alone is enough for the whole family to eat for half a year, not to mention that there are more than a dozen unopened sacks in the rice warehouse, all of which contain new rice that was just recovered a year ago.

The eldest brother is obviously lying, but what is he saying this for?

Zhang Yun's mind was chaotic, and the noisy sound of chickens and ducks chirping outside the house made him feel irritable, and even Zhang Qing's words couldn't be heard.

"I heard that the old man Liu in the township is looking for a family, the Liu family is a big family, you will not suffer a loss if you go to their house, no matter what, it is better than being angry at home, do you say this reason?"

"So the eldest brother thought, instead of letting you be angry at home, it's better to go out and wander, maybe you can get rich, right?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Qing licked his lips and said cautiously: "Xiaoyun, you see that my brother has already planned for you, you can take a hot bath first, and then we will go to Liu's Mansion, okay?" ”

Zhang Yun's heart was in turmoil, and his mind kept echoing a sentence.

"Big brother, he doesn't want me anymore......"

"Big brother, he doesn't want me anymore......"

"Big brother, he doesn't want me anymore......"

……

His teeth chattered, and the flesh on his face twitched.

The half-grown child looked like he had drowned, his face was bruised, and his breathing was short and sharp.

As time passed, the whole body began to swing.

Suddenly, he took a sharp breath.

"Huh...... Yes! ”

Calmed down.

Raising his head, he looked at the person closest to him with blank eyes, and saw Zhang Qing's eager gaze.

Seeing the hope in his eyes, Zhang Yun felt a chill in his heart and nodded Mu Ran.

"Okay."
