"Have you ever thought that your parents are already old, and they will rely on you to support this family in the future, what if your body collapses them? What about your siblings? ”

Zhu Zhicheng was a little at a loss, Susie was obviously much younger than him, but now she was like a stern sister, criticizing him and teaching him a lesson, and he didn't feel disgusted in his heart.

Susie said seriously: "I'm really not scaring you, don't you look in the mirror yourself?" You're so skinny, your cheeks are sunken in. ”

Zhu Zhicheng slowly lowered his head, "I, I really can't help it." ”

Susie shook her head, "I've never seen anyone treat yourself like you, you don't love yourself too much, you treat yourself too badly, it's just masochism!" ”

"If your parents knew that you sent home the money you sent home in exchange for selling blood, would they be at ease?"

She pointed to the fish soup on the table, "Eat it quickly, it will be fishy when it gets cold in a while." ”

She opened the door and was about to go out, when she suddenly said, "If you don't dislike it, you can eat with us in the future and pay some rations." ”

These days, she has seen that Zhu Zhicheng has a good character, and last time he took the initiative to help her move furniture, he ate the worst, but he never coveted other people's food.

Susie walked out.

Zhu Zhicheng stood there stunned, looking at the bowl of fish soup, and suddenly hugged his head and cried.

A muffled whimper echoed through the room.

He went to the countryside at the age of eighteen, and it has been seven years now, in order to save money on the road, he has not been home for seven years, his parents have never asked him where the money comes from, and every time he writes a letter, there is never a word of concern in the letter, and he always says that he wants money.

Susie was the first to care about him.

He was also the first to say that he was not good to himself.

He used to think of himself as a working machine, and he felt that he was going on like this day after day for the rest of his life.

But today, he realized that there were still people in this world who would care about him.

His tears fell into the fish soup one by one, and he suddenly sat down, picked up chopsticks, and ate with tears.

The fish soup was boiling hot, and it warmed his heart.

When Susie returned to the stove house, she met Xu Zhiqiang's resentful eyes.

The bowl of fish soup just now, he thought it was for him, but as a result, Susie actually walked past him with fish soup.

Fortunately, he reacted slowly and didn't reach out to pick it up, otherwise it would have been really embarrassing.

Susie naturally understood the meaning in Xu Zhiqiang's eyes, she twisted her head, hum, so she didn't give it to him.

She likes the old lady very much now, and she hates the snow even more, even if the old lady doesn't take much care of what the snow does, but so what, she is the one who helps her relatives and doesn't help her.

Her fish soup is fed to the dogs and not given to Yu Xue.

After eating and tidying up, Susie went back to the house to read her junior high school math book.

Tian Xiaohui learned to knit sweaters with Qin Man seriously.

Zhao Tingting is reading the "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook".

When it was almost nine o'clock, Susie put down her book, stood up and stretched, "I'll take a shower." ”

She walked to the wardrobe to get her clothes, Tian Xiaohui shook her head, "You're taking a shower again?" Didn't you wash it the day before yesterday? ”

Susie smiled helplessly, according to her old habits, she had to take a bath every day, and after coming here, it was too troublesome to take a bath.

It is necessary to fetch water to boil water, and also to clean the bath tub.

The key is that the water for boiling was picked up by Yuan Gang from buckets of trees, and the firewood for boiling water was cut back from the mountain.

One more shower for her meant a lot more work on their part.

Most of the time, Susie endured it and washed it once every two or three days, but today she was sweating from climbing the mountain, and it was really uncomfortable not to wash.

She straightened her clothes and carried the bucket to the stove house.

The water in the urn was still hot, so Susie scooped it out, mixed it with cold water, and dragged the tub near the back door.

There is a drainage ditch on this side of the back door, which is convenient for pouring water.

Doing all this, she closed the front and back doors, and then twisted the twist of the kerosene lamp, and the lamp went out.

Susie then began to undress in a stumbling manner, and then squatted in the bathtub to take a bath.

Not long after washing, Susie suddenly heard a knock at the back door.

She turned her head vigilantly just in time to see the back door move, she quickly picked up a towel and covered her chest, and shouted, "Who's there!" ”

Susie wasn't sure if it was a person or a critter out there.

In short, it won't be the wind, there won't be any wind today.

Qiao Mu heard Susie's voice next door and ran out quickly.

He stood at the door of the stove house and asked eagerly, "What's wrong?" ”

Susie said quickly, "Let's see if there's anyone at the back door." ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of footsteps outside the back door and gradually ran away.

Susie is sure that there is really someone.

Qiao Mu chased after him quickly.

Yuan Gang and Zhu Zhicheng moved a little slower than Qiao Mu, and they also came out of the house and followed to catch up.

Susie thought about it for a while, and estimated that the person outside had just made a noise while lying on the door panel, and he shouldn't have seen anything.

Because there are cracks in the front and back doors of this stove house, Susie has no sense of security, and she is very cautious every time she takes a bath, and she only takes off her clothes when the lights are out.

Today, she also turned out the kerosene lamp before she began to undress, and it took her own time to get used to it before she could see clearly.

Thinking about it like this, Susie felt that she was not being taken advantage of, and she felt relieved, so she hurriedly finished taking a shower, got dressed, and poured water, and then came out.

Chen Changqing was playing cards in their house again, it was quite lively, I guess I didn't hear any movement just now.

Zhao Tingting's house was very quiet, and the room over there was the farthest away from the stove house, and they couldn't hear it.

Susie carried the bucket back to the house, and Tian Xiaohui got up when she saw her come in, "You're done washing, then I'll brush my teeth." ”

Susie didn't say anything about what happened just now, she put her things and walked to the yard to look, she was a little worried, Qiao Mu and the others should have chased them to the back mountain.

The road on the mountain is not easy to walk, it is dark again, and if you fall, it will be troublesome.

When he was worried, Zhu Zhicheng came around from behind, and Susie hurriedly caught up, "How is it?" Did you catch anyone? ”

Zhu Zhicheng nodded, "Caught it, Qiao Mu called you over to see what you want to do." ”

Susie followed Zhu Zhicheng up the hill from the backyard.

After walking for almost two miles, I heard the voice of a ghost crying wolf not far away, "Don't fight, please don't fight, I really didn't see it." ”

Susie and Zhu Zhicheng walked over quickly, and saw Qiao Mu kicking the people on the ground frantically as if he was dying.

Yuan Gang said, "Susie is here." ”

Only then did Qiao Mu stop moving, the moonlight spilled through the gaps in the leaves, and the mottled moon shadow shone on his face, and his expression was a little terrifying.

Susie's gaze swept over his face, and when she looked down, the faces of the people on the ground were swollen and tall, and she probably didn't recognize his mother when he came, and she naturally couldn't recognize them, "Who is it?" ”

Qiao Mu's voice was cold, "Yang Laosan." ”
