Chapter 192: It's been like this since I was a child
At night, Wen Jiaojiao and others returned to the Xiao Mansion in Yunzhou. Everyone in the Xiao family was present except for his second uncle Xiao Ce who was outside the pass.
Wen Jiaojiao looked at the whole family at the dinner table, surrounded by his relatives and loved ones, and felt much better because of his physical depression.
The dinner table was filled with some of her favorite foods. Even though she had no appetite, she still couldn't bear to let down her aunt and sister-in-law, and she didn't want to make everyone worry about her sick appearance.
Almost everyone at the dinner table focused their attention on Wen Jiaojiao. Qiu Chu gave Wen Jiaojiao a piece of deliciously fragrant pork belly and put it in her bowl. Her sister-in-law Liu Yuqing, who was sitting opposite her, also kept picking up vegetables for her.
Wen Jiaojiao took two bites and felt tired. He took a bite of green vegetables and felt that it was very bland and could not be eaten.
"Jiaojiao, you haven't had a plum drink from Yunzhou for a long time. The first wave of plums from Yunzhou has just come out. I bought it for you from a shop I often go to. See if it suits you.
taste."
Xiao Xuanan poured a cup of plum drink to Wen Jiaojiao. Wen Jiaojiao picked up the cup and took a sip, and a teardrop fell into the cup.
Wen Jiaojiao tried his best to endure it, and when Xiao Qingze said: "Jiaojiao, why are you crying?" After that, Wen Jiaojiao could no longer hold back the tears, put down the cup, turned around and buried it in Que Wu's arms,
All the tears fell on him.
Everyone in the Xiao family looked at Wen Jiaojiao buried in Que Wu's arms, shoulders shaking, and the cries were suppressed, as if they didn't dare to cry.
For a moment, everyone didn't know how to say anything to comfort the little girl who was suffering from illness. Looking at her like this, it was clear that she was afraid of worrying them, forming a conditioned reflex to hold back whatever she did.
Seeing Wen Jiaojiao's appearance, their hearts ached and Qiuchu also lowered his head and silently wiped tears.
Liu Yuqing and Xiao Changfeng looked at each other. Liu Yuqing stood up and walked to Wen Jiaojiao, patted her back and said softly: "Jiaojiao, can I take you out to the night market?"
After saying that, Liu Yuqing said again: "It's just me and your big brother."
After that, Liu Yuqing and Que Wu looked at each other. Que Wu understood and let go of Wen Jiaojiao's hand, and Liu Yuqing hugged her up.
Wen Jiaojiao was still in a state of emotion, holding Liu Yuqing's neck and burying his face on her shoulder, sobbing quietly.
After Liu Yuqing gave everyone at the dinner table a look, she hugged Wen Jiaojiao like a child and walked outside.
Walking outside the Xiao Mansion, Xiao Changfeng said to his wife: "Let me carry Jiaojiao. She is much heavier now than when she was a child."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu I'm not fat..."
Wen Jiaojiao raised his head from Liu Yuqing's shoulder, revealing a crying face full of tears and snot.
Liu Yuqing glanced at Xiao Changfeng angrily and said, "That's right, we Jiao Jiao are not fat, but you just can't speak."
With that said, Liu Yuqing motioned to Xiao Changfeng to get the handkerchief hanging around her waist and wipe Jiao Jiao's tears.
Xiao Changfeng took off Liu Yuqing's handkerchief and carefully wiped away Wen Jiaojiao's tears and nose.
"Aren't I afraid of tiring you?" Xiao Changfeng turned around and patted his back, "Come on, get on Big Brother's back."
Seeing that there were only her eldest brother and sister-in-law, Wen Jiaojiao no longer concealed her emotions, lay on Xiao Changfeng's back, and cried all the way.
Xiao Changfeng felt a dampness on his back and said helplessly: "The girl's house is indeed made of water."
When Wen Jiaojiao was a child, she liked to sleep on his back, drooling or crying.
"Jiaojiao, don't hold it in. If you want to cry, cry freely." Liu Yuqing comforted her.
When Wen Jiaojiao came to Yunzhou as a child, Liu Yuqing often took her to play with her.
Liu Yuqing and Xiao Changfeng were childhood sweethearts. As soon as she got her hair, Xiao Changfeng made a betrothal gift to the Xiao family and got engaged within two years.
It's just that the two of them have never had children. Jiao Jiao likes to stick to the two of them every time he comes to Yunzhou. Every time, Xiao Qingze, the third man, follows this sister like a slut. It's just that Jiao Jiao thinks he always makes himself dirty.
, don’t want to play with him.
Once Xiao Qingze had just rolled in the mud, so he went to hug Jiaojiao, and she was covered in mud. Immediately she cried loudly and sat down on the ground. Xiao Changfeng went to pull her, but she pretended to be hugging him.
My legs refused to move no matter what.
Jiao Jiao has been like this since she was a child. Once someone makes her unhappy, she will sit on the ground and hug their legs. It doesn't matter who comes. She has hugged the legs of everyone in the family.
Finally, he deliberately took a big stick and said he wanted to beat Xiao Qingze. Xiao Qingze was not as stubborn as Erlang Xiao Xuan'an. He was very slippery. Before the stick hit him, he was rolling on the ground wailing.
When Jiao Jiao heard his screams, he immediately stopped crying and stood up to grab the stick in Xiao Changfeng's hand.
"Don't hit the third brother!" Xiao Changfeng saw that the little girl was about to cry when she couldn't grab his stick, so he quickly threw it away and carried her back to the house, which was dirty by Xiao Qingze.
The result was that his bad-tempered second father, seeing the same mud and water on Sanlang and his sister, picked up a stick and chased him from the Xiao Mansion to the street outside, and then chased him back to the Xiao Mansion from the street.
Sanlang and Erlang had been beaten the most since childhood. Erlang had a stubborn personality and would always endure it silently. He didn't know how to run away and wouldn't make a sound even if he was beaten to death.
However, Saburo immediately ran away the moment he knew he was being beaten. When he got to the back, he had to use a horse to catch up to him.
No matter how much he ran away, he had to take this beating. The more he ran away, the angrier his second father would become and the more beatings he would receive.
Jiao Jiao, who had already stopped crying, saw his third brother being held up by the collar and then pressed down in the yard to be beaten, and he immediately hugged his second father's legs and cried.
When Jiao Jiao cried, even a stone-like heart would soften, and Sanlang escaped. However, he was caught by his second father and sent to the barracks for training. For Xiao Changfeng, it was better to get a beating.
Even he couldn't stand his father's military training method. Every time the three brothers were beaten down, they would lie on the ground like dead dogs and crawl back home.
"Jiaojiao, you haven't had a few bites of dinner, why don't you eat something?"
Liu Yuqing looked at Jiao Jiao, who was lying on Xiao Changfeng's back, with a gloomy look on her face. She cried all the way, and finally stopped crying when she arrived at the busy night market, and looked at the busy stalls with concentration.
Looking at the little girls jumping around beside her parents, she felt a little envious in her eyes.
In the past, when her health was not so uncomfortable, she felt that staying in the yard every day was bearable. But when her health began to deteriorate day by day, she realized how important it was to have a healthy body.
Not only can she run and jump, she can't even eat normally, and her poor health can easily affect her mood.
