Early the next morning, the air on the street was still cold, so Sun Xiangli sent his son back to Shen Mansion in a rickshaw.The weather was a bit overcast, and there were still one or two gunshots in the distance.When the car enters the French Concession, it seems to have entered a quiet and peaceful world. The lawns of the mansions are all green and new grass, with a fresh smell, and the milk truck runs on the street, jingling.Zhenghai entered the gate of Shen Mansion, looked at the plane trees and camphor trees in the yard, and looked at the wisteria flower stand in the distance. He still remembered that Lian Zhou planted watermelon seeds under the flower stand, and even urinated to fertilize the seeds, but in the end he did not No melon seedlings grew.

Thinking about the past, Zheng Hai pushed open the door, but there was no one in the living room.He went to the shoe cabinet to change his shoes, but his slippers were lying on the ground and had not been put in the closet. Usually, if he went back to his home on weekends, Miantao would still not put away his slippers. He laughed at Miantao for being lazy, and the girl said: "Anyway, I came back the next day, so why put it away!"

At this time, the family members should still be having breakfast, so Zheng Hai walked to the dining room, the whole family ate with their heads down, and no one was joking.Seeing that his usual seat was empty, Zheng Hai called softly: "Godmother, I'm back." Jing Xian raised her head and smiled, "Haven't you had breakfast yet?" Zheng Hai nodded, and Jing Xian He ordered: "Lian Zhou, go get your brother the bowls and chopsticks." Lian Zhou obediently stood up and went to the kitchen to get the bowls and chopsticks, Jing Xian said again: "Bring a bowl of porridge to your brother." Zheng Hai was embarrassed, "I will do it myself. Lian Zhou didn't let go, filled the porridge, and handed it over with both hands: "Brother, drink the porridge." Zheng Hai and Lian Zhou grew up together, and they were always very casual. Lian Zhou suddenly behaved, which made Zheng Hai blush. After saying thank you, I started to eat with my head down.

After breakfast, Zhaoquan gave Huanzhu and Anan winks, and they left the restaurant.Jingxian looked at Zhenghai and Lianzhou, and sighed: "Since Zhenghai is back, he must have figured it out. Lianzhou, you know what needs to be said and taught, and you two brothers can solve the rest by yourself." Let's go." Lian Zhou blushed, turned his head and ran away, and came back after a while, holding a ruler and knelt in front of Zhenghai: "Brother, Lian Zhou said something wrong yesterday, today I'm sorry, I was wrong, you hit me Right." Zhenghai was stunned, felt a little awkward for a moment, turned to look at Jingxian, "Godmother, me." Jingxian said lightly: "This is not to show you, Lianzhou is a fatherless Children, they say that an elder brother is like a father, you, as an elder brother, can beat you." Zheng Hai shook his head vigorously, unable to speak.Jingxian stood up, took the ruler, pointed at the stool by the dining table and said to Lianzhou, "Get down." Lianzhou knew that she couldn't escape a beating, so she bit her lip and obediently lay on the stool.Jingxian was also merciless, she used all her strength to beat down, Lianzhou yelled: "Mother!" Jingxian said angrily, "Don't cry!" But the ruler under her hand didn't stop, Lianzhou didn't dare to cry, Called sadly: "Mother, I was wrong, I don't dare to do it anymore, please forgive me." Lian Zhou has been sweet-talking since he was a child, and when Zhao Shi taught him a lesson, Zheng Hai always laughed at him. Howling first, and the most convincing and admitting mistakes.Today, Lianzhou's voice sounded very pitiful to Zhenghai, but Jingxian kept on remembering one after another. Lianzhou was in pain and begged for mercy, so she had to call: "Brother, brother, Lianzhou dare not, please forgive me." Lianzhou, please help Lianzhou." Zhenghai didn't dare to go forward to stop Jingxian, so he had to kneel down too, "Mother, please spare Lianzhou. I don't blame him anymore, please stop beating him " Jing Xian stopped her hands, Lian Zhou was still lying on the stool, biting her lips tightly, not daring to move.Jing Xian ordered him: "Get up." Lian Zhou got up, seeing that Zheng Hai was still kneeling, she didn't dare to stand, and knelt with Zheng Hai.At this time, Jingxian said: "Zhenghai, I didn't hit Lianzhou today to vent your anger on you. It was because he was hurting others. No matter who this person is, he can't say that. If you say such things to others, I will Hit you in the same way. He just apologized to you. If you are unwilling to do anything, you forgive him. Don’t take this matter to heart. In addition, as I just said, an elder brother is like a father, and you have educated him If he is ignorant, not only can you not blame him, but you also have to think about whether you have lost your responsibility as an elder brother." Zheng Hai lowered his head and replied, "Yes, Zheng Hai has remembered it. Godmother, what happened yesterday is my responsibility." There are also mistakes. First, I should be able to think of a better way. Second, I shouldn't argue with my brother. Third, I shouldn't lose my temper and run back. There are too many things at home. I can't share your worries. Luan. I know, you were afraid that my father would hit me, and you specifically asked him to enlighten me. You loved Lianzhou so much, but you didn't spare him at all. Godmother, I was wrong, and I should hit you." About to lie down on the stool, Jingxian nodded: "No need, Lianzhou hasn't gone to school for a few months, you can sort out his homework in the afternoon, and take the ruler, why did your second uncle watch you recite the book back then? Just look at him!" Jing Xian turned and went out, Lian Zhou looked at Zheng Hai wrongedly, "Brother, I hurt." Zheng Hai looked at Lian Zhou: "When it hurts, remember what mother said, and you can't say that to anyone in the future!" Said After finishing, he stretched his hand behind Lian Zhou and rubbed it for him.

into the night.

Zhaoquan and Jingxian leaned on the handrail of the stairs and looked at the lights in the study downstairs. Zhenghai was still teaching Lianzhou homework. Because Lianzhou was a little bit heavy in the morning, he couldn't sit on the stool, so he stood at the desk and listened to Zhenghai. Speaking, the two brothers looked at the books on the table head to head.Zhaoquan smiled, "Boys don't worry when they grow up. The two brothers have been like this for a long time, but how good it is." Jingxian sighed: "Oh, I don't blame the children. The situation is really waking up after sleep. I don’t know if the head is still there. I just found out yesterday that even the second lady of Daxin Knitting Jin’s house was arrested, and she was said to be the Communist Party.” Zhaoquan stared and asked: “It’s the one who came to the house during the Chinese New Year. , Miss Jin Er in the green dress? Isn’t her fiancé the son of the police chief?” Jing Xian nodded: “How else should I say it? Not only is there no security over there, but she hastily withdrew the marriage, lest I can't tell." Zhaoquan said bitterly: "A whole family who is a butcher for an official is not as good as our Lianzhou!" She glanced at Jingxian and muttered: "If you are so affectionate, you still suffer from his mother." It's time to fight." Jing Xian also gave her a white look: "You are an aunt who loves you, can I, a mother, not feel bad? My son can't be so ignorant." As she was talking, she turned her head and saw Anan walking up the stairs. Zhuo Jingxian hesitated to speak.Jingxian knew what he wanted to ask, so she interrupted, "A'nan, since you live at home, you are a guest, so you don't have to rush." ​​Anan said embarrassedly: "I have caused you so much trouble, and I eat and drink for nothing. Yes, I have to help. I made an agreement with the gardener to help him clean up the mud in the pond tomorrow." Jingxian nodded: "I love you, let Zhenghai Lianzhou brothers help me tomorrow .”

"Lianzhou hasn't gone to school these days, let him take tutoring with his brother, I can do this." After finishing speaking, he wanted to go upstairs to the meeting room, hesitated for a while and returned, "Grandma, I still want to ask."
