tired spring return

Look at the world of mortals with a smile, and the lonely goose becomes autumn.

Having been in Zhujiazhuang for several months, the first time Pei Minzhi took the initiative to strike up a conversation with someone was to learn about Chen Xiaogen's situation.

When the villagers talked about the child with pity and helplessness, their tone of embarrassment confirmed the vague guess in their hearts.

This child is not a local, but escaped here with his mother.Back then, a scrawny woman dragged two children, one big and one young, to live here. The villagers kindly took them in.A few years later, the mother who was described as haggard and overworked died, and there was only one older sister, Chen Xiaomiao, who was ten years older than him.It's not easy for my sister to drag Xiaogen to make a living by herself for so many years. Seeing that she is getting older, if she doesn't find a husband's family to marry again, I'm afraid I will delay the past in this life.Originally thinking that becoming a family would make Xiaogen's life better, so the matchmaker persuaded her to accept a marriage in a neighboring village.

What I said at the beginning was good, and I don't mind Chen Xiaomiao marrying her younger brother.It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and the true colors of the in-laws' family were exposed.They despise Xiao Miao's bad background, bully her with no support in her family, despise Xiao Gen as a burden for nothing, and make things difficult for them with sarcastic remarks.

Xiao Miao became pregnant soon, and for the sake of the child in her belly and for their siblings to have something to eat, she could only swallow her anger and gritted her teeth to swallow the pain in her stomach.

But Xiao Gen was bullied so badly that one day he ran back to Zhujiazhuang by himself.My sister rushed over after hearing the news, and no matter how hard or soft she tried to persuade Xiao Gen, he would never go back to her in-law's house with her.Xiao Miao had no choice but to leave him alone in the old yard, and asked his relatives and friends in the neighborhood to take care of him.

Seeing that sister's belly getting bigger and bigger, I can't care less about him.From then on, this little root wandered around the village like a wild child all day long, ate a hundred meals after a hungry meal, and didn't even talk.

"Mr. Pei, is this Chen Xiaogen stuck at your house? Hey, it's our fault that we didn't remind you. This child is like this, and people in our village have already seen it. If you feel embarrassed, just speak up." Just let him leave. He has long been used to this kind of thing, he won't take it to heart, and he will go to other people's houses to find food soon."

The villagers spoke very frankly, and Pei Minzhi couldn't even maintain a polite smile with the slightly pityful and irrelevant look on his face.

He nodded lightly, wanting to end this topic as soon as possible.

"These, I know."

Seeing that Pei Minzhi was satisfied, the man immediately squeezed a flattering smile on his face, and asked respectfully:

"Hey, hey, sir, you are too polite! Children are ignorant, so don't mind. If you need anything, sir, feel free to ask us!

Um... and there is, that, my bastard, look..."

Pei Minzhi was already planning to leave, but upon hearing this, she raised her eyebrows, stopped, turned her head and looked at the other party coldly, and said:

"Don't worry, I will treat all children equally."

After finishing speaking, he nodded quietly to show his courtesy, then turned and left without looking back.

The man looked at his indifferent back, his smile quickly faded, and he murmured with some disdain:

"Tch, a poor teacher, why are you pretending to be noble!"

When Pei Minzhi returned home, he washed his hands and went into the kitchen to prepare dinner as usual.Usually, within a short while, he would bring out one or two simple meals from it.It seems that what he eats and what taste it makes no difference to him.In the past, Xie Bo and Xiao Chun'er took care of his three meals a day, and he never paid half his attention to this aspect.Now things are different, and he has already tasted nothing to eat. The purpose of eating is just as simple as filling his stomach.

Today, however, he carefully selected a few ingredients, and spent a long time fumbling back and forth in the kitchen.Chen Xiaogen still appeared on time, and he was already sitting at the dining table looking forward to it.Ever since they got acquainted, Pei Minzhi taught Chen Xiaogen to come in and out of his house at any time, and he no longer needed to linger at the door like before, and only dared to enter the door with his consent.

When Chen Xiaogen saw Pei Minzhi bringing out plate after plate of exquisite dishes from the kitchen, his eyes widened in excitement and his mouth almost couldn't close.

After a meal, he was overwhelmed unsurprisingly.He couldn't even walk, he patted his round belly with his small hands, and his head was dazed bit by bit on the edge of the table.

Pei Minzhi gently picked up Chen Xiaogen, who was moaning in his sleep, and put him on the only old wooden bed in the room.I just feel that his small body is so light that he can hardly feel any weight.Just like the weight of this child in everyone's eyes, he is light and dispensable.

Like an unknown grass.

Cover him with a thin quilt, and stare at that childish little face for a long time.Pei Minzhi knew that there was not much he could do, but maybe he could give it a try and try to help this little grass shelter from the ups and downs.

If he did this, at a certain moment, somewhere, there would be someone who would be willing to lend a helping hand to shelter his wandering and helpless... The person who stayed with him for a short time, but was lingering in his dreams, who was destined to hold him back for the rest of his life, Where do you live now...

After sleeping at Mr. Pei's house for one night, Chen Xiaogen seems to have been greatly encouraged.A pair of big eyes flashed flickeringly, revealing an undisguised joy.Sir asked him to stay overnight!He can no longer go back to that lifeless "home"!

After eating the usual silent breakfast, Chen Xiaogen actually spoke to Pei Minzhi for the first time.

"Thank you, sir."

This was the first time Pei Minzhi heard Xiao Gen's voice.The voice is just like the person, soft and waxy.Just as he was about to get up to pack the dishes, he paused, and quickly concealed the turmoil in his heart.Still maintaining an indifferent expression, he said lightly:

"If you know thank you, go and wash the dishes."

Chen Xiaogen, who mustered up the courage to speak, lowered his head slightly, trying to hide his slightly red face.Hearing what Pei Minzhi said, he immediately took the bowl and chopsticks from him as if he had received an amnesty, and ran away briskly.

Within a few days, Pei Minzhi met Chen Xiaogen's sister, Chen Xiaomiao, as he wished.This young woman was so emaciated that she didn't match her actual age, she was thin and shriveled, but she had a huge belly.

Seeing the person coming, Chen Xiaogen seemed to smile, called his sister softly, and ran to the back yard to play.

But his vague sound made the sad woman burst into tears of joy.
