Chapter 33: Don't Break Your Promise

"Just cut some bamboo, and don't bother the aunt."

Zhu Yanqu only hoped that Xu Manyue would leave soon.

Xu Manyue was worried, and said: "Girl, this bamboo is very heavy, you better not carry it alone, find some young adults to help you transport it back." ”

Zhu Yanqu is not good at dealing with people, and gradually lost his patience.

"No, I have a way to transport it back, don't worry, auntie."

was rejected again, and Xu Manyue also made it clear.

Hurriedly left a sentence and left in a hurry: "That girl, be careful,"

-

Zhu Yanqu waited for Xu Manyue to walk far before taking out the machete.

The action was swift, and he cut a dozen bamboos, removed the thin branches above, and then tied them into small handfuls and threw them aside.

It took a few back and forth to carry the bamboo back to the door.

Except for Gu Huayue.

Zhu Xingguo and Zhou Dongsheng each carried a small handful of bamboo branches behind them.

One last trip.

Zhu Yanqu's shoulders were weak, and he rubbed his shoulders when he went to the bamboo forest.

His eyes remained firm, and he did not compromise at all.

Zhu Xingguo was beside her, taking very small steps and speaking in a small voice: "It's good to have oxen and flatbed trucks." ”

Zhu Yanqu stopped and lowered his gaze to look at Zhu Xingguo.

Zhu Xingguo pursed his mouth, tears hanging on his eyelashes.

With his head down, he saw his aunt stop.

Hurriedly tilted his head to look at her,

"Auntie, what's wrong?"

When he asked, tears flowed down his face.

Looking at the tear stains on his face, Zhu Yanqu bent down and stretched out his slightly rough fingers.

Tapping the tip of his nose, "Little crying bag." ”

Zhu Xingguo pursed his mouth, deflated, opened his eyes slightly, and sniffed uncontrollably.

"Then I'm sad, so I will cry."

Zhu Yanqu grabbed his shoulders and put his right hand on his shoulder, "Give me an arm." ”

Zhu Xingguo is still wiping his eyes with tears, he can feel it.

The light arm went down, and it didn't seem to be on it.

He looked up at her.

Her delicate face was tired, and her smart eyes had never seen submission.

Slowly retracting his gaze, he saw countless tiny wounds on his shoulders.

Even on the back of the hand, the old wound has not yet scabbed, and the new wound has come again.

Even if she wears gloves, she can't protect her for a point.

In the bamboo forest, sunlight shines down from the dense bamboo leaves.

Shining on my aunt's long hair that was casually pulled up with a wooden hairpin, it looked like a layer of bright light.

-

Twilight is coming to an end.

Zhu Yanqu stood at the door with a delicate bamboo cup.

I went to see the bamboo on the ground and took a small sip of my throat that moistened and dried like fire.

Turning around and entering the house, his calm eyes met three pairs of eyes.

Put down the teacup, grab the machete, and are about to step out of the door frame.

Seeing the three of them staring at each other, the corners of their lips pursed showed unhappiness.

"Wash your face and feet quickly, and go to bed early."

Zhu Xingguo's voice was a little hoarse, and he got up and walked to his aunt's side, "Auntie, what about you?" ”

It took an afternoon just to carry the bamboo.

Zhu Yanqu looked directly at Zhu Xinghuaguo's red eyes, and his eye sockets were slightly swollen.

"Finish this cage."

Gentle eyes followed Zhu Xingguo.

Zhu Xingguo was afraid that his aunt would see his embarrassment, so he tilted his head slightly and staggered his aunt's gaze.

"I don't believe it." Zhu Xingguo shook his head this time, "Auntie, after you get here, you always get up early and stay dark, and your body will be broken." ”

Zhu Yanqu stared at him, and his tone was heavy: "Phew, it can't collapse, don't curse me!" ”

This time, Zhu Xingguo leaned his neck, and every expression on his face showed his unhappiness.

"Hmph, auntie, you're always like this, can't you show weakness occasionally?"

As soon as Zhu Yanqu heard the word weakness, he immediately refused: "No, I'm going to be weak, are you three still alive?" ”

"Your parents have entrusted you to me, and I will do my duty, at least, to raise you to adulthood."

Zhu Yanqu clenched the machete in his hand, and the emotions in his eyes were complicated.

Zhu Xingguo's tears did not hold back, and fell again.

Zhou Dongsheng raised his hand to wipe the tears on his face, and heard a soft sobbing sound from the side.

Hurriedly wiped Gu Huayue's tears.

Gu Huayue was ignorant and wanted to step forward, but she saw that her aunt was unhappy on her face and didn't dare to step forward.

Zhu Yanqu looked at the three children and sighed lightly: "You have also seen that life here is so hard, if I don't work hard, the future will be very difficult." ”

Zhu Xingguo was stunned by his aunt's preaching, he was stunned for a moment, his eyes were demented.

"Auntie, what about you...... When the time comes, you won't have to work so hard to find someone to rely on. ”

Zhu Yanqu frowned, thinking to himself why this kid became more and more outrageous the more he spoke, and his words became more serious.

"It's better to rely on others than on yourself, how can I rely on others in my life, you, your ideas are immature."

Zhu Yanqu turned around, tilted his head slightly, and instructed again: "Go wash and rest." ”

At night, the rustle of the breeze through the branches of the trees.

and the sound of quails chirping in their nests under the eaves.

When he heard the sound of footsteps, he immediately turned around and looked at Zhu Xingguo, who was holding the door frame and had a light smile on his face.

Zhu Xingguo quickly walked over to Zhu Yanqu's side: "Auntie, I'll accompany you." ”

Zhu Yanqu raised his eyes to look at him and did not answer.

Continuing the action of making the cage in his hand, there was a smile in his unwavering eyes.

Zhu Xingguo knew his aunt's temperament and squatted beside her obediently.

With both hands on his cheeks, a pair of beautiful eyes blinked.

"What are your aunt's plans for the future?"

After thinking about it, Zhu Yanqu gave Zhu Xingguo a response, "To engage in agriculture and make money, I need beautiful clothes, and I need jewelry powder." ”

Look at the redness around his eyes, a little redness.

Zhu Xingguo had a lot of little stars in his eyes, and nodded happily: "Okay, I'll accompany you to do this,"

Zhu Yanqu looked at him with smiling eyes and reminded him: "Don't break your promise!" ”

Zhu Xingguo's eyes were firm, and he hurriedly stood up, with manhood all over his body.

"No, my aunt believes in my willpower, very resolute!"

-

Early in the morning, Zhu Yanqu walked on the way to the wasteland.

Listen to the little songs that Zhu Xingguo and Zhou Dongsheng blow out of bamboo leaves.

He was listening pleasantly, and he also hummed softly.

The sound of the wind blowing in the bamboo forest was fine, and there was the sound of trampling dead branches.

Even if this has been walked out of a path, the wind at night carries the bamboo forest or branches in the woods.

She stopped, turned her head slowly, and saw Xi Quan.

Nowadays, everyone's clothes are unbearable, and she rarely pays attention to what others are wearing.

The dazzling morning sun shone down on him.

I saw him walking slowly, he took a step, and the people behind him also took a step forward.

Zhu Yanqu saw that his eyes were warm and his appearance was elegant.

Suddenly remembered, Yan Qiaoxin talked about when he was trying Qingmai's case.

His face was furious, a little more serious than his usual elegant appearance.
