slow and quick

The days passed with so much noise.

During the final exam, Ji Lin got double hundred again.

Zheng Man, on the other hand, took a big step forward from failing the mid-term exam, scoring more than 90 in Chinese and [-] in mathematics.

When holding the test paper to check the answer, Ji Lin was in a hurry, why don't you know how to do this?

Zheng Man himself is very satisfied, and his mother also said that he has made great progress.

Even on the notice, the teacher praised him for being good, saying that he had made great progress in the second half of the semester.

And with Zheng Man's winter vacation, there is also the child in Zheng Man's mother's belly.

On the second day after Zheng Man's birthday, my mother ran to the toilet and vomited several times early in the morning.

Zheng Man looked worried to death, suspecting that it was because her mother drank too much alcohol.

It was Zheng Man's father who felt the same way as him.

I also talked to my wife for a long time, saying that if you don't drink it, you must drink it.

Zheng Man's mother was so tired that she didn't have the strength to argue with him. She sat there listening and felt the desire to vomit again.

Immediately rushed to the toilet.

Dad was so anxious that he didn't know what to do, so he said I'll make you another glass of honey water.

Mom hurriedly shouted goodbye.

After finally stopping her vomiting, she panted heavily, pulled on the wall, looked at Zheng Man's father nervously, and said that I didn't seem to be hungover.

Dad thought she was blunt, saying that she was not a hangover, and Manman told me to let me watch you drink, you scared the child, do you know?

Helpless and funny, mother interrupted his nagging and said, "No, I seem to have it."

Dad's chattering words ended in silence.

He stood there in disbelief, "Yes?"

Zheng Man's mother nodded: "I really didn't drink too much last night, so I wouldn't vomit like this. The last time I felt so uncomfortable was when I was pregnant."

Zheng Man's father was happy and nervous at the same time, help Zheng Man's mother to sit back and sit at a loss.

Zheng Man watched from the side, very dazed.

He had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but he didn't quite understand what his parents were talking about.

The two masters didn't bother to explain to him, and they couldn't explain it for a while.

It may be that they are pregnant, but the couple dare not go to the hospital for an examination.

Family planning is still very strict these days, if you go to the hospital, you may be drained.

While this one may have belonged to the child, it was just an accident.

But that was also a pleasant surprise.

The two had absolutely no intention of getting rid of the child.

Because they were not sure, they did not tell outsiders.

Until Zheng Man's winter vacation, Zheng Man's mother, who hadn't had her period for two whole months, was confirmed this time.

Her menstruation has always been very accurate, she hasn't come in two months, and she is absolutely inseparable.

There is some news in a small place, which cannot be hidden at all.

I don't know how it got out, anyway, within a few days, the neighbors in the neighborhood knew that Zheng Man's mother was pregnant.

No one went to the family planning office to talk badly, but if there was something good, they came to tease Zheng Man, saying that your mother is going to give birth to a younger brother for you, and if you have a younger brother, you will not be wanted.

Zheng Man felt very uncomfortable hearing that.

He looked at the man, asked him seriously, and said, "Uncle, you also have a younger brother, I remember, so did your mother lose you after your younger brother was born? Isn't uncle too miserable?"

The child spoke harsh words in an innocent tone, and everyone who heard it laughed and slammed at that person.

Zheng Man ignored them, detoured and walked towards Ji Lin's house.

Mom and Dad told him in the morning that she was pregnant with a child.

He then asked Zheng Man if he wanted a younger brother or a younger sister.

There is no option.

At that time, Zheng Man wanted to be willful and say that I don't want it.

Seeing their apprehensive expressions, I held back and said that I like them all.

Then I saw the expressions of relief on both of them.

They both breathed a sigh of relief, but Zheng Man felt a little depressed.

When he arrived at Ji Lin's house, when Ji Lin asked him, Zheng Man told him.

He also made him swear that he would never say anything about it, even with his parents.

Ji Lin held up his fingers and swore.

Seeing him swear, Zheng Man told him about his mother's pregnancy.

And after he heard the news, he felt unhappy.

He was a little confused, and asked Ji Yan: "Should I not be like this? Mom and Dad are very happy, but I am not happy. I want them not to have younger brothers and sisters. Am I bad?"

Ji Lin really couldn't answer such a profound question for a while.

He racked his brains and thought for a while, and managed to come up with some comforting words, saying that this is human nature.

"Human nature" is a new term he has learned. In fact, he doesn't understand it very well, but he thinks it is very appropriate to use it here.

After hearing this, Zheng Man became even more confused: "What do you mean by human nature?"

Ji Lin was refreshed, and he would answer this topic.

So eager to explain.

It was interrupted by Zheng Man.

He is in a bad mood now, and he didn't play the teacher-student game with Ji Lin.

Zheng Man picked up the wafer and stuffed it into Ji Lin's mouth, and said to him in a muffled voice, "I want to eat bubble gum."

Ji Lin took the wafer in his mouth, crunched it, and ate it with crumbs all over his face.

He wiped his face indiscriminately, stood up, and said to Zheng Man, "Let's go, elder brother Lin will buy you bubble gum!"

Zheng Man corrected: "Accompany."

He took out money from his pocket: "I have money myself, I don't want you to buy it for me, but to accompany me to buy it."

The money was rewarded by his parents after he answered that he liked it in the morning.

I don't know why, Zheng Man felt blocked when he saw it, so he wanted to just use it up and forget it.

Ji Lin changed his words very easily: "Okay! Accompany you!"

So he pulled him outside.

Ji Lin's mother bought a new soybean juice machine, and she is holding peanut milk beans or something in the kitchen, squeezing soybean juice there.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, I stuck my head out to see that the two children were holding hands and were about to go out.

Ji Lin's mother was puzzled: "Manman, let's go? You just eat at my house, I told your mother."

When Ji Lin wears shoes, he simply puts his feet into the shoes.

Get a pair of feet in two seconds.

After it was done, Zheng Man was still slowly tying the shoelace of his first foot.

He thought Zheng Man was slow, so he knelt down to help him tie it.

Hearing his mother's words, he turned his head: "Let's go out to buy bubble gum, and we'll be back in a while. Manman will still have lunch at our house!"

After speaking, he raised his head towards Zheng Man again, and looked at him expectantly: "You are eating here, right?"

Zheng Man nodded and looked at his aunt: "I'll be back in a while."

Only then did Ji Lin's mother feel relieved, and told them: "Be careful on the road, Ji Lin, take your brother by the hand, be careful when crossing the road, watch the vehicles more, don't run around, come back early after shopping, do you hear me?"

During the time she was talking, Ji Lin had changed Zheng Man's shoes, opened the door and was about to go out, and said indiscriminately, I got it, then grabbed Zheng Man and ran out, completely ignoring the words Take it to heart.

Ji Lin's mother was angry and funny, and scolded the child with a smile.

After buying the bubble gum, Zheng Man was not in a hurry to go back, saying that he wanted to take a walk for a while.

He didn't want to talk, Ji Yan was talking about it when he found a topic, and he interrupted, saying don't talk, let me be quiet.

So Ji Lin shut up obediently.

I walked aimlessly with him for a long time.

Zheng Man walked in front, and he blew bubbles behind.

Blow it so hard, explode it, and roll it back with your tongue.

Manman doesn't know how to blow bubbles, and usually looks enviously every time he sees him blowing bubbles.

But today is an exception.

Manman's mood is very low today, even Bubbles can't make him interested.

After buying the bubble gum, Ji Lin's mother also squeezed the soybean juice.

Made a cup for each of the two children, and it was still steaming hot.

Ji Lin took a big sip, then wrinkled his face, stuck out his tongue, and cried bitterly: "What is this? It's not sweet at all, and there's something else!"

As he spoke, he poohed twice, and the red peanut skin came out.

Ji Lin's mother: "Oh!"

She clapped her hands and came to her senses: "Should I remove the peanut skin and put it inside?"

He hurriedly went to the kitchen to get sugar, and said to them as he walked over, "Come on, add some sugar to make it sweeter."

In the process of taking the candy, Ji Lin, who had already swallowed the soy juice with a smothered face, said, "Hurr~"

Ji Lin's mother: "..."

She hated iron and stared at Ji Lin: "Are you starved to death and reincarnated?"

Then he dug out two tablespoons of sugar for Zheng Man.

Zheng Man was stirring there with chopsticks.

The bean juice was a little hot, and he wanted to drink it after cooling down a bit.

Ji Lin's mother sat there, looked at him, and said tentatively: "Manman, did your mother tell you that you have younger brothers and sisters?"

Zheng Man looked up at her, and nodded obediently: "I said it."

Ji Lin's mother calmed down a little. The child seemed to be okay, and there was no noise.

So she wanted to ask a few more questions.

He said to him again: "Then you have..."

"Mom! I want another cup!" Ji Lin interrupted her loudly.

Ji Lin's mother frowned and scolded him: "What am I talking about, why drink so much? I won't be able to eat later, so I won't drink!"

Then he turned to Zheng Man: "Your mother..."

"Mom!" Ji Lin interrupted her loudly again.

Ji Lin's mother turned around, about to get angry.

It turned out that the child's expression was anxious, angry, and a little worried.

Ji Lin's mother understood this time.

The kid didn't want to ask himself any more questions.

When she asked Zheng Man just now, Ji Yan was not curious, it seemed that he might have known it a long time ago.

No one told Ji Lin that Zheng Man's mother was pregnant with a second child.

He doesn't go out.

Knowing this, it could only be what Zheng Man said,

Sitting there, Manman looked very quiet all the time, but with Ji Lin's expression, he reckoned that the child might not feel very well.

Ji Lin's mother sighed, ended the topic, and followed Ji Lin's previous excuse to ask, saying that the soy milk can't be drunk, why don't I make dinner earlier, what do you want to eat?

Seeing that she stopped asking, Ji Lin was relieved, and said that he wanted to drink crucian carp soup, the milky one.

Then he grabbed Zheng Man and said that Man Man and I went back to the room to do our homework.

Ji Lin's mother agreed, and it was a little funny watching them enter the house.

Ji Lin is as big as a kid.

Why drink crucian carp soup, and also specify milky white.

He had cooked it before, and he also said that it was a waste of time and not very tasty.

He obviously doesn't like to eat this, it's just to delay the time and let her not bother the two of them.

But Ji Lin's mother really didn't know how to explain to Zheng Man.

To be honest, his mother is pregnant with this child, and it is impossible to really say no to it.

It can only be said that it was a surprise.

But it is inevitable for children to suffer.

At first she thought that Zheng Man really didn't care, but the child turned out to be pretending not to care.

It's so sad.

She sighed, cleared away the finished cups on the table, and went out to buy crucian carp.

And here, Ji Lin pulled Zheng Man in and started talking to him, telling him not to care, just pretend that my mother didn't speak just now.

Zheng Man sat on a chair with a blank expression on his face.

He murmured: "Auntie must have seen it."

A fool would fail to see that his reaction was wrong.

Ji Lin was flustered and wanted to comfort him but didn't know where to start.

Zheng Man looked at him: "Someone told me today that my mother doesn't like me anymore because she has a younger brother."

Ji Lin was in a hurry: "He farted!"

Ji Lin was furious: "Who is this person! Why are you talking nonsense!"

He comforted Zheng Man: "Auntie will not dislike you, Manman is so good, everyone likes Manman."

Zheng Man: "Oh."

Zheng Man: "I push back."

But he still felt a little uncomfortable, he said hesitantly: "...What if my mother really has younger siblings and doesn't like me?"

Ji Lin was stunned.

He subconsciously said no.

But Zheng Man's expression was really sad.

It's not like telling him "no" and he will be relieved.

Ji Lin pursed his lips tightly, thought for a while, and gritted his teeth: "Then I will like you more!"

Zheng Man: "Huh?"

He looked up at Ji Lin, a little confused.

The little carrot head, with a tight face and clenched fists, said with a sense of righteousness: "I like you more, and I will give you twice as much love as your parents gave you!"

Ji Lin looked at him seriously: "If your parents like you less, you will treat me as your father!"

Zheng Man: "..."

Zheng Man: "... Seriously, aren't you trying to take advantage of me on purpose?"
