Nan Heming's face was pale when he came out of the dry toilet. The always elegant young man was now as downcast as a plucked rooster. As long as he was stimulated a little more, he would spit it out without caring about the image.
"Are you okay?" As the eldest brother, it was rare for him to worry about his delicate second brother.
Although Nan Xiaonan had already said a lot before going to the toilet, Nan Heming thought he could do it, but it was only after he entered that Nan Heming realized that he couldn't do it.
Especially in the dark night, when Nan Xiaonan couldn't see clearly the surrounding environment, Nan Xiaonan used bright lights to shine on the ground and walls, and failed to fall into the filth of the dry toilet smoothly in the corners and on the wooden boards used for stepping... Nan and Ming's
His face turned pale again.
The smell inhaled by the nose stimulated the brain. Ke Nan and Ming were afraid that they would faint on the spot, and they would rather die than faint in such a place.
Nan Xiaonan also noticed something was wrong with Nan Heming: "Second brother, what's wrong with you?"
"Well..." Nan Heming was already beaten to the point of losing his strength, "Xiaonan."
"What's the matter?"
"I want to hug you."
"Just wait a minute."
Nan Xiaonan pressed Nan Heming on the chair, first went to her grandma's room to get hot water, and found Nan Heming's towel from the utensils brought by the housekeeper. She skillfully washed the big towel with her little hands, using both arms.
He wrung the towel out very hard, grabbed Nan Heming's hand and wiped it carefully.
The warm towel took away the dirt on the hands, leaving waves of clean breath. Nan Xiaonan very carefully cleaned every finger of Nan Heming, and then continued to twist the towel and climb up with great effort.
When he got to Nan Heming's lap, he raised the towel high to wipe Nan Heming's face. Nan Heming closed his eyes in cooperation. Nan Xiaonan would use the towel to wipe the corners of Nan Heming's eyes, and untied Nan Heming's hands with his little hands.
took off his shirt, and then helped Nan Heming wipe his body.
Nan Heming was surprised. He usually helped Xiaonan do such things, but since returning here, Nan Xiaonan couldn't help but turn on the master mode and work harder than usual.
"It's okay, Xiaonan, I can wipe it myself." Nan Heming grabbed Nan Xiaonan, but he couldn't bear to let Nan Xiaonan do such a tiring thing.
"You're not feeling well." Nan Xiaonan shook her head, grabbed Nan Heming's hand and continued to twist the towel, "I'll help you wipe it off early, and then you can lie down on the bed. Don't you think my second brother always likes taking a bath?"
?There is no place to take a bath here, so I will help the second brother clean it up."
Nan Heming's mood was complicated. Seeing Nan Xiaonan walk around behind him, the warm towel was pressed against his back, causing a comfortable shiver.
"How does Xiaonan usually take a bath?"
"There is a stream nearby. When the weather is hot, I will take a bath with my little brothers. In winter, grandma will boil water to take a bath." Nan Xiaonan watched helplessly as her beautiful pink back began to appear after wiping it.
The second brother’s skin is really super white.
"Has grandma always bathed you?"
"I wash a lot by myself. Grandma's back hurts and she can't bend down, so I wash it by myself." Nan Xiaonan opened the pajamas that the housekeeper had prepared a long time ago, "Second brother, stretch out your hand."
Although Nan Heming is a junior high school student, and his stature is almost the same as that of a shorter adult, it is more difficult for Nan Xiaonan to help Nan Heming. As long as Nan Heming squints his eyes, he can see that Nan Xiaonan is blushing because of his hard work.
A light pink face.
After changing into pajamas, Nan Xiaonan stood in front of Nan Heming and suddenly reached out and hugged Nan Heming's neck. Nan Heming was hugged and instinctively wrapped his arms around Nan Xiaonan's fleshy little body.
"What's wrong?"
"Didn't Second Brother want a hug just now? A refreshing hug will be more comfortable than a sticky and greasy hug!"
Nan Heming chuckled twice and buried his head in Nan Xiaonan's neck. The child's body always had a faint sweet milk fragrance due to long-term drinking of milk, which diluted his disgust for the countryside and dry toilets in his mind. Nan Xiaonan
I really felt that Nan Heming was uncomfortable, so he gently patted Nan Heming's back with his small fleshy claws, soothing Nan Heming with an even rhythm, as if a bright light was melting away the pain in Nan Heming's heart little by little.
conflict.
"Xiao Nan, do you think the countryside is nice?" Nan Heming put it on the child's clothes and asked softly, "There is no place to buy a lot of snacks here, there are a lot of bugs outside, and the bathroom is not convenient at all.
It’s soil. Even so, do you still like it here?”
"I like it!" Nan Xiaonan replied matter-of-factly, "I like it all where my grandma is, where my eldest and second brothers are, and where my parents are."
It's not that he likes a place, but that he likes his relatives who exist in this place.
After Nan Heming let go of Nan Xiaonan, Nan Xiaonan changed the water in the basin again and wiped Nan Qinse who had been sitting aside. Nan Qinse asked to do it herself, so Nan Xiaonan could only help her elder brother wipe it.
back.
Nan Qinse has always had a very good figure. Nan Xiaonan was wiping and suddenly pounced on him. Nan Qinse's body was pressed and she instinctively resisted, allowing Nan Xiaonan to lie on his back more easily.
"Big brother's back is wide!"
"Really? Let's take off!" Nan Qinse picked up Nan Xiaonan on her back. Nan Xiaonan screamed and laughed non-stop. She crossed her legs and kept laughing.
Nan Heming raised his head and saw Nan Xiaonan who was playing with Nan Qinse. There was no hidden unbridled smile, nor the usual shy smile. The completely relaxed Nan Xiaonan looked more relaxed than ever.
All should be happy.
Nan Xiaonan rushed into her grandma's house and took out a relatively large brown basin. She brought a hot water bottle and poured a lot of hot water. Nan Qinse, who was already familiar with the situation, just mixed it with cold water. Nan Heming lowered his head and asked: "
What is this going to do?”
"Wash your feet?"
After taking off his shoes and socks, Bai Shengsheng's little feet stepped into the water: "Big brother and second brother, let's wash our feet together?"
Nan Qinse and Nan Heming looked at each other.
She didn't want to wash his feet with him, but Nan Xiaonan's eyes were looking forward to it.
Nan Heming could only grit his teeth and squeeze it out: "What do you dislike? I am much cleaner than you, an athletic and muscular man."
"Ha." Nan Qinse, who had never been in intrigues with Nan Heming, seemed to have put down her airs and sneered.
All three feet were placed in the huge basin without any pressure. Nan Xiaonan sat on her small bench, dangling her white and tender little feet, and stepped on Nan Qinse's instep.
Nan Qinse raised her eyebrows and looked up to see Nan Xiaonan's provocative eyes.
Then...the Nan brothers started a foot-stomping war.
There were not enough beds at grandma's house, so it was inevitable that the Nan brothers would sleep together. The Nan brothers, who had been sharing the same bed for who knows how long, had no objection. Lying on the bed, Nan Heming looked at the pile of newspapers.
The ceiling cannot hide the good mood after the fun.
He has never played like this, not in his previous life.
Even now, Nan Heming is wondering what's so fun about stepping on feet?
The water in the basin was kicked everywhere by them, and my trouser legs were all wet, but I didn't know why I couldn't help but want to laugh.
Underneath him were bedsheets with large peonies, and the smell of cheap washing powder could be smelled from the bedsheets. According to Nan Heming's personality, he would definitely disdain to use such an ugly style, but now, he could accept it with peace of mind.
Do as the Romans do? Nan Heming doesn't think he has such an amiable personality.
Nan Xiaonan threw herself directly on the soft quilt, happily holding the quilt and spinning around on the bed: "Big brother and second brother, grandma has dried all the quilts for you to sleep on, they all smell of the sun!
"
Nan Qinse sat up and said lightly: "Thank you for your hard work, grandma."
"Grandma is doing well." Nan Xiaonan hugged the quilt and dangled her feet. "This bed sheet is new. Grandma has been reluctant to use it. She even dried the quilt and made meals early. Grandma is actually very happy today.
Already."
Looking back on the old man's expression, Nan Qinse really didn't expect how happy she was.
Nan Heming asked abruptly: "Xiao Nan, won't you sleep with us?"
"Yes, I'm going to sleep with grandma. This bed is too small."
"How old are you?" If it weren't for Xiaonan, the two of them would never sleep in the same bed.
"Go to bed early. I'm going to wash grandma's feet. Grandma actually has a lot of pain in her back today. I can tell. I can also give grandma a massage." Nan Xiaonan was very conscious, "Grandma is very tired. I want to give her a massage."
She should be more relaxed, if anything happens to the eldest brother and the second brother, just tell me directly, I will do anything!"
Nan Xiaonan left the small house, leaving Nan Qinse and Nan Heming looking at each other.
This was the first time ever that the two of them slept together alone.
They are brothers, not close.
"Just bear with it." Nan Qinse, who knew what Nan Heming was thinking, said.
Nan Heming sneered: "Brother, do you think I hate you very much?"
"Is not it?"
"No, I used to admire you very much."
That was when Nan Heming was very young. He did not have such a self-centered personality from the beginning. Nan Qinse has been an excellent person who cannot be looked up to since she was a child.
When Nan Yun ignored them, Nan Heming once regarded Nan Qinse as his only support, but Nan Qinse did not think so. He did not intend to bear Nan Heming's desire. The better Nan Qinse was, the more Nan Heming
Ming became even more humble under the light, and Nan Yun's indifference and partiality finally caused Nan and Ming to rebel.
"I'm sorry." Nan Qinse lowered her eyes, "At that time, I already tried my best for myself."
Nan Qinse does not think that he is a gifted person. Since he wants to step on others, he has to work ten times and a hundred times harder than others. Even so, he still cannot reach the real ceiling. The hesitation and helplessness in his youth, even if
It has not disappeared even after adulthood.
"I know." In the final analysis, it was just a childhood infatuation. After knowing that it was destined to be unrequited, Nan Heming wisely chose the path that was more comfortable for him.
But……
Nanxiaonan is different.
He never gave up.
Want to get family affection? How could they give Nan Xiaonan something they no longer rely on just because of his wishes? But that child is stubborn and stubborn and never gives up. They want to repay him, but now they can't
Confused.
Is Nan Xiaonan’s sacrifice really for getting something?
Or was it the fair trade mentality they were accustomed to that made them ignore that what Nan Xiaonan gave them was actually just the most genuine feelings.
Nan Xiaonan turned off the lights before going out. The overly quiet atmosphere permeated the countryside at night, the faint smell of dust in the air, and the unfamiliar smell mixed in the bedding. Everything was strange, and what was even stranger was him.
He actually slept alone with Nan Qinse.
Neither of them was asleep, and both knew that the other was not asleep. The atmosphere was strange and awkward.
"Brother, do you actually hate me?"
"fine."
"So that's just annoying?"
"Um."
"Why?"
"You live a freer life than me, and I'm jealous of you."
"Are you quite free as an adult?"
"I'm not used to freedom anymore."
Nan Qinse and Nan Heming had never had a good talk. The seemingly good relationship between them was originally due to the same rebirth and the same feeling of being ashamed of the same person in their hearts.
But even after being reborn, neither of them thought about getting to know each other.
But as long as you communicate in one or two sentences, you can understand what the other person is thinking.
"Xiao Nan is very happy today." Nan Heming covered his cheeks and forehead and spoke in a low voice.
"Um."
"The voice is loud, generous, and there is a sitting posture that would never appear in normal times..."
They have been paying attention to Nan Xiaonan, and they have seen everything about Nan Xiaonan. What kind of changes he has undergone, and what has happened, how could they not know?
"He is much more relaxed here than at Nan's house."
Nan Qinse knew very well that Nan Xiaonan's love for them was not casual. He might really like them, and he didn't notice the difference between himself at Nan's house and in the countryside. It's just that this child has instincts.
The habit of deliberately imitating and catering to the atmosphere.
Perhaps because of his and Nan Heming's temperaments, most of the time they were exposed to housekeepers, and the education they received was different from Nan Xiaonan's.
Subconsciously, that child is moving closer to them. Perhaps in his mind, this will bring him closer to them.
"I don't know what I should do to make him concentrate on being Nan Xiaonan." No one can understand this powerlessness.
They gained his love, but still failed to gain his dependence.
Suddenly the door was pushed open, and the Nan brothers immediately turned around and saw a small figure sneaking in under the dim light shining in from outside the door.
"Xiao Nan?" Nan Qinse asked.
"What's wrong? Xiaonan misses her second brother?"
"Let me put something away." Nan Xiaonan smiled and placed a strange pot-shaped iron container in the room. "If you want to pee at night, you can pee in it. You don't have to go to the toilet. Put it next to it tomorrow.
