No pain no gain

At first, Er Zhuang still stubbornly stood still.

"Go!" Da Zhuang stood up and walked in front of Er Zhuang and shouted in a low voice.

Er Zhuang was shrunk by Da Zhuang's momentum, and walked to the corner honestly.

Da Zhuang turned his head and went to the kang to comfort the startled big girl and the others, then beckoned the idiot to come over, patted the back of the idiot's hand lightly, and didn't say anything to comfort him.

The fool seemed to understand what Da Zhuang meant, and smiled at Da Zhuang.

Da Zhuang and Sha Zi played with Da Niuer and the others for a while, and the younger children forgot what happened just now, and the atmosphere in the room returned to its original state.

Da Zhuang told Da Niuer to take good care of his younger brothers and sisters, and took the fool to the kitchen to cook dinner. When he walked through the door, Da Zhuang saw Er Zhuang who was facing the wall secretly wiping his face with the back of his hand.

Da Zhuang snorted, and walked out without looking sideways.

When the sun came out a few days ago, Da Zhuang found two round chairs specially made for babies at home. The round chairs are divided into upper and lower layers, and the bottom is sewn with several layers of strong fabric. On both sides, you can sit or stand. On the top is a plank with a round hole in the middle, which is polished and smooth. The baby can be placed in it without being bruised or stabbed, and there is no need to worry about falling. It is used for children from seven or eight months to one year old before they learn to walk. Da Zhuang washes the sides carefully with hot water, and after drying, put the twins in a round chair when eating, and then feed them like this Things are very convenient.

During dinner, the idiot and the big girl were both hesitant to speak, obviously thinking about Er Zhuang who was still standing for punishment, but they didn't dare to speak out.

Da Zhuang just pretended not to notice, first fed the twins half a bowl of egg custard and some noodle soup, and took the time to eat a bowl of sliced ​​noodles. Although he was not full yet, Da Zhuang also put down his bowl and chopsticks. For people who have white rice for more than [-] years, almost all they eat in the past two or three months is rough noodles, which is really difficult.

While cleaning up the dishes, Da Zhuang thought in his heart how he should grow some rice for rations this year.

After Da Zhuang washed the dishes and chopsticks, he sent the idiot out. After thinking about it, he said, "Don't pay attention to what Er Zhuang said today. You should come here early in the morning. Be careful on the road in the dark!"

The fool said slowly: "I don't care, I'm happy to be with Da Zhuang!"

"Well, Ah Da also helped me a lot. Go back tonight and think about what I taught you during the day. I will ask you tomorrow." Da Zhuang suddenly felt relieved when he heard the idiot's unfavorable words. , the gloom caused by Er Zhuang tonight also subsided a lot, and he smiled lightly and confessed to the fool again.

The idiot agreed again and again, said goodbye to Da Zhuang, and walked towards the house.

Da Zhuang closed the yard door, called the big girl for help, wiped the bodies of the little ones, put them on little padded jackets, and let them roll and play on the kang first.

After everything was packed, Da Zhuang walked up to Er Zhuang wearing a coat.

Er Zhuang was wearing a new blue padded jacket just made a few years ago, with trousers of the same color underneath. When he first put it on, he looked quite energetic. Er Zhuang also cherished the new clothes very much, but unfortunately they were only ten In a few days, the clothes had turned gray-blue, and the thread on the corners of the trousers had also come off.

Da Zhuang glanced at Er Zhuang up and down, paused for a while, and then said, "Have you figured it out yet?"

Er Zhuang sobbed slightly, lowered his head and did not speak.

"Grrrr..."

Da Zhuang heard Er Zhuang's stomach ringing a few times. Er Zhuang went out to play wildly with a group of children after breakfast early in the morning. After running wildly for a day, it's no wonder I'm not hungry now.

"Let me ask you, what did the people outside say?" Da Zhuang asked in a low voice, seeing that Er Zhuang lowered his head and did not speak, he raised his voice slightly and added: "Speak, you are dumb!"

Er Zhuang sobbed again, and said with a sob: "They laughed at the eldest brother for always playing with fools, and said that we were trying to curry favor with Landlord Wu..."

"Brother has to weave baskets to make money every day, but also to light fires, wash clothes, clean up the house, and take care of his younger brothers and sisters. Do you have time to go out and play like you, and play for a day! Also, tell yourself, are we in To please others?" Da Zhuang asked back.

Er Zhuang shook his head, and said a lot of grievances: "But they are all talking..."

"Who are talking about, how many are there, the whole village?" Da Zhuang asked with raised eyebrows.

Er Zhuang was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, it was actually Goudaner, Sun Tou, four, five, seven or eight-year-old older children who were deliberately looking for trouble with him, not to mention the adults, and neither did the other friends. Erzhuzi even spoke for himself, but today he lost his temper and had a fight with Goudaner...

"Do you know where you went wrong now?" Da Zhuang asked sternly.

"Brother..." Er Zhuang Nuonuo shouted in a low voice.

"What's going on in our family now, don't you know? Is it because I have eaten a few full meals these days and can't get through it! Even the big girl knows to help take care of her younger siblings at home, how about you? You are older than the big girl You're two years old! What are you doing these days?" Da Zhuang said in a frantic manner.

Er Zhuang moved a little uneasy.

Da Zhuang didn't wait for Er Zhuang to speak, and continued: "This is the first thing you did wrong. Second, you also believe what the children outside say! You don't have eyes, and you don't know what's going on at home. ! What other people say is what you say, and you have this little ability!"

Er Zhuang's mouth moved, but nothing came out.

"The most important point is, when you get angry outside, go home and look for your prestige, right? What's worth it for you to treat your brothers, sisters and guests at home like this!" Da Zhuang raised his voice and shouted sternly.

"I..." Er Zhuang wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, and began to cry.

"Why are you crying! I left you some dough in the kitchen. After you eat it, fetch water and scrub it yourself. Go to bed today and wake up tomorrow morning. You continue to stand in the corner and reflect on yourself!" Da Zhuang dropped the words, Since going to bed.

Er Zhuang went to the kitchen sobbing, and it took him a while to touch the kang, but he didn't dare to squeeze, so he reluctantly lay down on the outermost side.

Da Zhuang heard the movement, sat up, and gently moved the big girl, second girl, and third girl in the middle, so that Er Zhuang could sleep in, and then lay down again, thinking about a few days in his heart You can start tidying up the fields, and in the future, you still have to worry about trivial matters such as Er Zhuang and so on, while slowly falling asleep...
