"I want it, even if he is really crazy, Zhou Xun wants it too," Zhou Xun held Lin Zhile's hand tightly, looked at the red and swollen palm marks on Lin Zhile's face, and protected him behind him, sticking his neck Standing opposite Zhou Dahai, "How can you beat people indiscriminately? Anyone with eyes can see that Zhou Tian didn't stand still and fell. How can you blame Zhile?"

More than three years have passed, and Zhou Dahai has put on a lot of blessings. His good-looking skin has turned into a big belly, and his double chins have come out. You son of a bitch, you don't care about your own brother, but protect an outsider instead."

Zhou Dahai stretched out his index finger and pointed at Zhou Xun, "You little bastard who eats inside and outside, I will deal with you later."

After he finished speaking, the topic turned to grandma again, "Mom, I didn't agree with you to raise a child at the beginning. It takes a lot of money and effort to raise a child. Now that they are all in junior high school, there will be more places to spend money in the future."

Originally it was a child playing around, Zhou Tian was just naughty, running and jumping back and forth, falling and falling is normal, they are all his grandsons, grandma didn't want to talk, she seemed biased, but Zhou Dahai's words made her feel chilly.

"Dahai, Zhile has been by my side for more than three years. I didn't ask you to work hard, and secondly, I didn't ask you to pay for it. The jujube forest planted in my village is more than enough to support a child, and Zhile can also live up to it. The exam returns to the first place." One, the school is free of tuition and boarding fees, and you still have the school’s subsidy, so you didn’t ask me to spend any extra money. Yes, you are now a big boss, you are rich, and you send me a lot of money back every year , I have saved it all, and in the future, it will still be yours."

"Mom, what are you talking about? I'm your son. It's only natural for you to spend my money. I give it to you, and you can spend it as you like. And I told you several years ago, let you spend my money. Get out that jujube grove, don’t do it yourself, the villagers think I’m not filial.”

Zhou Dahai flirted with embarrassment after finishing speaking, forced a smile on his face, and continued: "The matter of Lin Zhile, the money issue is secondary, let's not talk about it, we know what's going on in his family, Lin Jianbin But I grew up with him. His father, that is, Grandpa Lin Zhile, we have all seen what happened when he went crazy. Lin Jianbin beat his wife away, and just now Lin Zhile pushed Xiao God, who knows if he will be like his grandfather and father in the future."

Lin Zhile's face was red and swollen, and she hurriedly argued in a low voice, "I didn't push brother Xiaotian just now, he fell because he couldn't stand still, I wanted to help him up."

Lin Zhile's face blushed and turned pale. After speaking, he carefully looked at Zhou Xun who was holding his hand. The last thing he wanted was to cause trouble for grandma and brother Xun, but now, he caused big trouble.

Wang Lijuan was dressed stylishly, with a curling iron on her head, sitting on the sofa eating fruit with her arms around Zhou Tian, ​​comforting the lively child while eating, squinting from time to time at the red-faced disputes in the living room, and then Two more sentences:

"Dahai and I originally had good intentions. We thought about the Mid-Autumn Festival. We would bring you to our house for a reunion. The whole family is lively and lively, but I didn't expect that they were all close and distant. An outsider pushed my younger brother and didn't help What's the point of helping my younger brother instead of helping my own grandson, but picking it up from outside?"

Grandma couldn't stand it anymore, "Zhi Le and Xiao Xun have grown up beside me these years, and no one knows their character better than me."

"Mom, what do you mean by that? Are you saying that we forcefully put shit on the heads of your two precious grandchildren? Isn't Xiaotian your grandson? You help others, and you don't want to help your own grandson anymore." ?” Wang Lijuan said with tears streaming down her face, hugging Zhou Tian and wiping her tears, she leaned on Zhou Dahai's shoulder.

"Dahai, I worked so hard to give birth to your child, but it's my fault instead."

The child watched the grown-up cry, and unknowingly opened his throat and howled, wanting to join in the fun.

Zhou Dahai put one arm around Wang Lijuan, while trying to comfort the crying child, so he couldn't care less about other things.

Grandma sighed, picked up her cloth bag from the sofa, pulled Zhou Xun and Lin Zhile out the door.

Behind the door, there were still cries and noises.

Lin Zhile tugged at Zhou Xun's little finger, "It's all my fault, if I support Brother Xiaotian, he will be fine."

"I don't blame you. Once a person wants to make trouble, he can always find a reason. Let grandma see if his face hurts?" Grandma lightly touched the clear palm print on Lin Zhile's right face, "It's all swollen, Later we will buy a popsicle to apply."

Lin Zhile pulled the corners of her mouth, "Grandma doesn't hurt, so I don't need to apply it, it will be fine in a while."

Grandma touched his hand, "We, Lele, are already very sensible and well-behaved. It's Grandma who shouldn't have brought you two here. The three of us will go back to the village for the holiday."

"Grandma, today is the last day of our holiday. School starts tomorrow, and we can't go back." Zhou Xun said.

"Then you go back to the school dormitory, grandma has to go back by car, and she won't be able to catch the last bus back to the village any later."

After the grandma finished speaking, she saw that there were still stalls on the street, and bought a few bags of moon cakes for them, as well as a lot of various snacks and dried fruits.

"You take it to school to eat, and give points to the students in the dormitory."

In the end, I went to the canteen to buy a popsicle. Lin Zhile took the popsicle and put it on his face. It was so cold that he quickly put it down, "It's too cold, don't need to apply it."

"Then you can eat." Grandma said.

Lin Zhile tore off the wrapping paper, "Grandma, you can eat."

Grandma smiled, "Look at my teeth, I can't eat anymore, it's too cold, my teeth can't bear it, and my stomach can't bear it either."

At this time, Zhou Xun took a serious look at his grandma. Like other old people, he already had half a head of white hair. Although his steps seemed to be fairly vigorous, he knew that grandma would still suffer from some senile diseases, such as backache and leg pain, and poor sleep. .

"Grandma, why don't you listen to my dad and take out the jujube forest. He is your son, and he should be filial to you. It's normal to spend his money. Your body is important."

Grandma took Zhou Xun's hand: "Our little Xun has grown up and knows that it hurts people. Grandma is not willing to take out the jujube forest. She has been working for a lifetime and can't stop. She suddenly quit and couldn't adapt. She is busy. I'll still hire someone when the time comes."

Zhou Xun knew that grandma was telling the truth. The old man had been working all his life and couldn't stop, but he still told him: "Then you should pay more attention to it, and pick some easy ones. When the jujubes are harvested, I will go back with Lele." help."

"Okay, okay, when the time comes, you go back to help, half a child is strong, so I have to use you." Grandma said and laughed.

Lin Zhile's face hurt, and after taking two bites of the popsicle, she couldn't open her mouth, so she gave the popsicle to Zhou Xun, "Brother Xun, eat it."

"Does your face hurt? If you don't want to eat it, don't eat it. Give it to me." Zhou Xun didn't dislike it either, and just took a few mouthfuls and finished it.

After eating the popsicles, Zhou Xun took out two packs of mooncakes and some food, and stuffed them into grandma's cloth bag, "Grandma, you should take two packs of mooncakes home too. You haven't eaten mooncakes during the holidays today, so don't you eat them." Worry about us, we are fine at school, we will take you to the bus station now."

"You don't need to send it, I can go by myself, I know the way." Grandma said.

"We'll see you off. There is a park around the lake next to the bus station. Lele has been saying that he wants to go there. He has been here for more than a month. I haven't taken him there yet. Today is just a chance to go shopping." Zhou Xunyi Holding grandma's arm in one hand and Lin Zhile in the other.

"Okay, then don't play too late, go back to school early." Grandma told them.

After the two children sent their grandma to the car, they went directly to Huanhu Park. In fact, there was nothing in the park except for a few trees and a lake. Usually, some people came here for a walk, but Lin Zhile just found it fresh.

The sun in the west was half set and half was still left. It was red, swaying the last tenderness of the day to its fullest, and the whole park was covered with a layer of orange halo, blurring the outline.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone is celebrating at home, the park is very quiet, only a few people in twos and threes.

Lin Zhile took Zhou Xun's hand and walked away.

The setting sun stretched the shadow of the two together.

"Brother Xun, look under the stone arch bridge over there, there is a pond, there are lotus flowers in it, there are actually goldfish, little goldfish, these goldfish are so beautiful." Lin Zhile had long forgotten the pain on his face, and pulled Follow Zhou Xun to look east and west.

"There are more fish in the Mina River. There are all kinds of fish, including crabs. I haven't seen enough fish in my hometown? Isn't this just a change of place..." Zhou Xun said so, but still followed Lin Zhile walked towards the pond together.

"That's different." Lin Zhile said.

"What's the difference? Tell me about it." Zhou Xun asked.

"Anyway, it's different." Lin Zhile tugged at Zhou Xun's hand, and pointed to the opposite side of the pond, "Brother Xun, there seem to be a few stone carvings over there. What are they engraved on?"

"It's the Chinese zodiac."

"Are there any monkeys?" Lin Zhile asked, Zhou Xun is a monkey.

"There's a monkey, and there's a pig, you little pig's pig."

"I like monkeys." Lin Zhile dragged Zhou Xun to the stone sculpture, "Let's go and see monkeys."

"Run slowly, don't drag me down."

It was only when Zhou Xun started running that he realized that the skinny brat had already had a spasm, which had grown to his chin.

In a small park, the two strolled around several times, and it was getting dark. Lin Zhile and Zhou Xun sat together on a stone bench by the pond.

"Brother Xun, if I really become a lunatic, you don't want me anymore." Lin Zhile remembered Zhou Dahai's words, and he was afraid in his heart, afraid that he would be too, just like grandpa and father.

"What are you talking about? A lunatic is not a lunatic." Zhou Xun twitched his arm with his hand.

"I'm serious. When my dad was crazy, I experienced it myself. It's been more than ten years. I don't want to become like that, but in case, I mean in case, I am also in the same way, you just throw me away. Don't want me anymore. I don't want brother Xun to be hurt, and I'm the one who hurt you." Lin Zhile said seriously.

Zhou Xun elbowed him twice again, "Big kid, you worry so much, even if you are innocent, I will. Even if I tie you, I will tie you by my side and cure your madness." good."
