Qin Yong smiled and put Qin Yi down, rubbed his head, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go play." Then he went into the kitchen: "Zhen Niang, let me watch the fire for you."
Qin Yi looked at the kitchen, feeling unable to calm down for a long time.
"brother……"
Qin Yi, who used to be an only child, this is the first time he truly understands what brothers are.
In the kitchen, Qin Yong looked at the fire and said softly: "Zhenniang, tell me, the boss of our family only cares about work. Isn't that not good?"
Zhenniang paused while rolling out the dough, frowned, turned her head, looked at Qin Yong, and said, "Sensible, hard-working, with a job in mind, isn't that good?"
"It's really good if it's a child over eight or nine years old. It's even better when he grows up. We don't have to worry about him not being able to live his own life... But our eldest son is only two years old now. He is
Aren't you the right age to go crazy and play with other children?"
"What's so good about playing?"
"Playing is really good and very important. It can build friendships between people of the same generation in the same village. These friendships formed through playing are the strongest friendships."
"This is all nonsense, and it's just the same thing."
"Zhenniang, this is not unreasonable. There are three gangs of heroes. Zhenniang, haven't you noticed that Big Tou is too independent? Basically, he has no friends to play with, not even with his two brothers.
They are not very close to each other. In this way, when he grows up, if something happens to him and there is no friendship, who will help him? Zhen Niang, do you think this is true? "
"You are right!" Zhenniang rolled out her dough vigorously. After waiting for a moment, her eyes suddenly turned red and she choked: "I know I am partial to Big Head, but you don't even think about it. He hasn't been born yet. We
I feel sorry for him. Since he was born, he has always been so sensible. He never made me trouble or made me worry. Being sensible makes people feel bad. Tell me, can I not be partial to him?"
Qin Yong scratched his head, laughed innocently, and said: "Zhenniang, I, I don't mean to blame you, I..."
Zhenniang wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes with the back of her hand, shook her head and said, "Master, what you said makes sense. I know what to do in the future. I will definitely not let Da Tou end up with no one to help me."
Saying, "Dongdong..." Zhenniang neatly cut the noodles, and while opening the lid of the pot, she said: "Have you washed your hands? Go wash your hands quickly, the meal will be served soon."
"Hey." Qin Yong nodded honestly, stood up and left the kitchen.
…
Early the next morning, Zhenniang got up early and was busy as usual. Qin Yi also got up quickly and followed Zhenniang like a little tail.
"Aniang, Aniang, I can feed chickens, I can feed chickens, let me come, let me come..."
This time, Zhenniang did not leave the job of feeding the chickens to Qin Yi and go to the kitchen to cook as usual. Instead, she squatted down, level with Qin Yi, looked at each other and said: "Big head, help me."
My mother is working, and she is very happy. However, you are still young, and you are at the age where you need to play. You should play happily like your brother and other children in the village. When you grow up, you can play happily.
Help grandma, okay?"
Qin Yi's eyes were red, and he asked with a choked voice: "Don't you like me anymore? Don't you want me? Wuwu, mom, don't want me, wuwu..."
Qin Yi cried and threw himself at Zhenniang, hugging Zhenniang tightly and not letting go.
Hearing Qin Yi's cry, Zhenniang's eyes were red. She hugged Qin Yi's small body tightly, then pulled Qin Yi away, holding Qin Yi's shoulders tightly with both hands, mouth
The words inside were harsher than ever before: "If you cry again, I will really not want you anymore."
Qin Yi quickly stopped crying, his little face twitched, his eyes were red, and his nose couldn't stop flowing down, but he still stubbornly pursed his lips and endured not making a sound.
"Starting today, you will go out to play with your two brothers, do you understand?"
Qin Yi pursed his lips and nodded.
"Go on, go back and take a nap. Children should have a full sleep. Why do you wake up so early with grandma all day long?"
After Zhenniang put Qin Yi to sleep with her own hands, she went out of the house and saw Qin Yonghe, as usual, who had just finished carrying water and was chopping firewood.
Zhenniang walked over, leaned against the water urn, and said with red eyes: "Master, you are right, I will correct Datou in the future. Now I think about it, the reason why Datou is so sensible and so clinging to me
, I’m afraid the most fundamental reason is that the labor is still being induced. Maybe, before he was born, we already knew that we were a pair of incompetent parents, and we gave up on him for ourselves, so he was so insecure and so afraid of being rejected by us.
, so sensible, he is afraid of causing trouble to us, afraid that we will not want him again..."
Qin Yong put down his ax and walked to Zhenniang. Zhenniang hugged Qin Yong, buried her face in Qin Yong's arms, and sobbed softly. The tears that came out were like floods, wetting his chest.
clothes in front.
Qin Yong held Zhenniang in his arms and patted Zhenniang's back gently and rhythmically, quietly without saying anything.
When Zhenniang's crying subsided, Qin Yong said softly: "Zhenniang, this decision was made by me. If you want to apologize to the big head, it is also my father. You have done a good job and you are the best grandma.
"
Hearing Qin Yong's words, Zhenniang's eyes turned red again. Qin Yong quickly wiped Zhenniang's eyes, smiled, raised his chin, and said: "Look, this day, if you don't make breakfast, wait till you eat."
After dinner, it will be noon."
Zhenniang looked up and saw that the sun was already so bright. She quickly wiped the tears on her face with her sleeves. She looked at Qin Yong's wet clothes on his chest and turned away embarrassedly and said, "Let's change."
." After saying that, he ran into the kitchen in a panic.
Qin Yong smiled and took off his clothes, threw them directly into the wooden basin next to the water urn, then went on to chop firewood with his arms bare.
"嚚~click~poof~"
"嚚~click~poof~"
Soon, amidst the rhythmic sound of wood chopping in the yard, smoke rose from the kitchen, and the sound of children playing around came from the house.
"Brother, get out of the way, you've hit me."
"Zhuzi, please see clearly. This is my half of the bed. You have crossed the line."
"I didn't. You must have moved me there while I was sleeping. Brother, you are so bad."
"You are the bad one. You are obviously moving around while you are asleep..."
Listening to the noise of the eldest and second son, Qin Yong, who had finished chopping firewood, laughed and walked into the second bedroom, shouting at his two sons: "Little bastards, what time is it? The sun is already setting on your buttocks, why don't you get up yet?"
