slow and quick

After school started, I stayed at school for two days, followed by military training.

It will be ten days before I go home.

Zheng Man's skin color was layered due to tanning, and Ji Lin's skin was already dark, and he was directly tanned into charcoal.

His parents laughed when they saw him, only his white teeth remained when the light was turned off.

It's rare to be away from home for such a long time, and when I come back, I will naturally be served by big fish and big meat.

Zheng Man went back to the room to put away his things, took a shower, and came out just as the meal was on the table.

Mom and Dad kept picking up vegetables for him, and asked him how his military training was like, whether he was tired or not, and whether it was hard work or not.

Zheng Man glanced at the extra bowl suspiciously, and asked his father, "Where's Zheng Fengju?"

Before my father could speak, my mother frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "I don't know where he went so early in the morning. Whatever he does, he will be hungry if he doesn't eat."

As soon as the voice fell to the ground, the sound of heavy objects falling on the ground came from the living room.

Zheng Man glanced in the direction of the living room, and saw Zheng Fengju walking over.

He didn't even glance this way, went to the faucet, washed his hands, and then walked out again.

Zheng Man's father yelled at him, "Where did you go? Just came back and ran outside again, using the house as a vegetable market?"

Zheng Fengju ignored him and continued to walk out.

Zheng Man's mother dropped her chopsticks, stood up and shouted at him, "Zheng Fengju! I'm talking to you! Do you have ears?"

This time, Zheng Fengju stopped, he stopped, looked towards this side, and said impatiently: "Didn't you say that you don't care about me?"

He glanced at the dishes on the table, and said in a strange way: "Yesterday, I said I wanted to eat chili fried pork, and told me how expensive the meat is. After a long time, it turned out that I wanted to save the meat for others to eat."

"What do you mean?" Mom said angrily, "Didn't I give you food? Did I starve you or something? Your brother hasn't come back for ten days. He suffered so much in the military academy. What's the matter with getting him something to eat? Or did I grab your chopsticks and not give you food?"

Zheng Fengju said angrily, "I won't eat it!"

He glared at Zheng Man: "What should I eat if it's not for me?"

"Don't eat it all the time if you have the ability!" Dad also became angry, "I see how arrogant you are!"

During this period of time, he was also very angry by Zheng Fengju: "I didn't talk about you last time. Fighting with others? You are very capable. If you can't read and study, you are the worst troublemaker! You are so capable, why are you in the first grade?" You almost failed the exam? Or I begged the teacher to let you in!"

It’s okay if he doesn’t say anything, but Zheng Fengju became dissatisfied when he said it, and yelled at him with a blushing face and a thick neck: “You still say it! Why did you go to the breakfast shop opened by Mr. Liu’s own house to invite her to have breakfast? My classmate I already know that there is something wrong with my father! Do you want to be ashamed of yourself!"

"I'm ashamed?" Zheng Man's father laughed angrily. He put his chopsticks on the table, and turned to look at Zheng Fengju, "Who made me ashamed? If you try harder, I'll just nod and bow to your teacher. Like a pug? Huh? As long as you are obedient, your teacher will call me over and be scolded there like a grandson? Who made me ashamed?"

He was furious: "If you are half as smart as your brother and half as obedient as him..."

"Then why did you give birth to me!" Zheng Fengju yelled at him, interrupting him.

His eyes were red, tears were streaming down his face, his whole body was shaking, and his teeth chattered with anger: "My brother is so good, why did you give birth to me?! Did I ask you to give birth to me?!"

He pointed at Zheng Man, his voice trembling, and he gritted his teeth: "I thought you guys thought Zheng Man was too useless and didn't want him anymore, so you gave birth to me! Since he is so good, why did you give birth to me?!"

Zheng Man glanced at him, but said nothing.

On the contrary, the mother looked back at Zheng Man nervously, and explained in a panic: "Manman, no, mother is not..."

"Oh," Zheng Man said calmly, "It's okay, I don't care."

As soon as these words came out, the whole family froze for a moment.

Mother was a little uneasy, but Zheng Man looked normal, and greeted Zheng Fengju, "Wipe your tears, let's eat first."

He put a chopstick of braised pork into the empty bowl: "Don't you like this? I didn't move much, I saved it for you."

Zheng Fengju's tears were still falling, he stared at him resentfully, and wanted to say a few more cruel words, saying that you don't need to pretend to be kind.

Gritting his teeth for a long time, he couldn't speak out, so he wiped away his tears and rushed out.

Zheng Man's father was going to let him go down the steps, but when he saw him rushing out, he became angry again, and shouted outside: "If you have the ability to run away, don't come back!"

There was a pause over there, and Zheng Fengju's angry voice came from crying: "If you don't come back, you won't come back! It's not rare!"

Zheng Man looked away, looked at his father, and said in a low voice, "You talk too much."

Zheng Man's father was taught a lesson by his son, he couldn't hold back his face, and sighed in despair, and said annoyedly: "The older this child grows, the worse he will be."

Zheng Man pushed the unused bowl away a little, and said calmly: "It would be nice to grow up a little bit, I'm not sensible now."

"Oh," Dad sighed, "if only I could understand."

He looked at Zheng Man again, puzzled: "They were all born by the same mother. You were obviously very good when you were young, why did this child..."

"It'll be fine when I grow up." Zheng Man just repeated this sentence.

He put down the bowls and chopsticks, said that he was full, and walked into the house.

Just as he was packing up his things, his mother knocked on his door and came in. She looked over worriedly, and smiled awkwardly at him: "Is this preparation?"

"Go to Ji Lin's house to play with him," Zheng Man looked up at her and replied, "By the way, let's preview the textbook together."

Zheng Man's mother: "Oh."

She brushed the broken hair behind her ears, struggled for a while, and then said to Zheng Man: "What your brother said was just a moment of anger, don't take it to heart."

Zheng Man raised his eyes, moved his gaze from the bottom of the schoolbag to his fingers, and hummed lightly.

His mother comforted him and said, "Mom's love for both of you is the same. Both of you are a piece of meat that fell from my body. There is no difference between the palm of your hand and the back of your hand. There is no such thing as not wanting someone. Child Birth, you know, it was an accident, but it is a life after all, Mom and Dad..."

"I really don't care," Zheng Man looked at her, said calmly, and smiled again, "Don't think too much, let's go find Zheng Fengju with Dad first, I don't think he knows about his childish temper. Where did you go, you can't be angry with him, if something happens, everyone will feel bad."

My mother panicked when she heard this.

She sighed: "Oh, this child is really worrying."

Then he said to Zheng Man: "Then go to Ji Lin's house to play by yourself, and say hello to Uncle Ji and the others for me, and let them come over for lunch at noon tomorrow. I'll talk to your dad first, and let him go find the kid."

Zheng Man nodded.

Then he watched her close the door and go out.

His eyes became less and less warm.

The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, but it doesn't hurt the same when you hit them.

How can there be exactly the same.

He didn't believe that everything was exactly the same.

Zheng Man even wanted to laugh.

Seeing her flustered there, she wanted to serve this bowl of water.

However, he lacked the ability, so he was swaying when he walked, and he was holding this bowl of water while walking, and the water swayed out, and he was drenched all over his body.

He pulled up the zipper of the schoolbag with no expression on his face, raised it with one hand, put it on his shoulder, then opened the door and went out, heading towards Ji Lin's house.

Ji Lin's house has just finished eating, Ji Lin's mother is making tea there, and Ji Lin's father is cleaning the table.

Hearing the knock on the door, Ji Lin's father went to open the door.

Still holding a rag in his hand.

When he saw Zheng Man, he smiled: "I was talking about you, and someone came."

Shouted to Ji Lin again: "Ji Lin! Don't wash the bowl! Let me do it! Manman is here, come and accompany Manman!"

Zheng Man smiled: "No, I'm not in a hurry."

He put his schoolbag on the sofa and walked towards the kitchen.

Ji Lin was washing dishes there wearing big gloves.

Zheng Man leaned his head over: "So many bowls?"

"Don't mention it, my dad is too lazy to die. I didn't wash the dishes after eating in the morning. I came back, and the dishes are still piled up here," Ji Lin sighed, "I knew it at a glance, this is waiting for me to come back to do housework .”

Zheng Man: "Pfft."

Ji Lin's father wandered in and clicked his tongue: "You said that."

He put down the rag and said to Ji Lin: "Your mother originally planned to save all the bowls for these ten days for you to wash, but now the bowls for two meals are all good-hearted of your father and me. If you don't appreciate it, why don't you Do you have any comments?"

Ji Lin: "Cut..."

Ji Lin pouted: "I can't tell you."

Ji's father asked him to sit in the living room and said he would come by himself.

Ji Lin turned away: "Don't grab it, I will let go later, what if the plate falls? I bought this new!"

He smiled at Zheng Man again and said, "Stop standing here, the space is too small to move around, I'm afraid the water will splash on you, so go out and sit for a while, and wait for me."

Zheng Man put his head on his shoulder and said lazily, "Don't make noise, wash your dishes."

Ji Lin froze, muttered for a while, but didn't say a word.

Finally, with red ears, he hummed and washed the dishes.

I can't even press the corner of my mouth.
