Chapter 3

After the meal, Shen Ju dipped the vegetable soup at the bottom of the bowl with the rice, and swallowed slowly with his cheeks puffed out.He put down the bowls and chopsticks, and after a full meal, he always felt that many invisible troubles disappeared.But when he raised his eyes, he realized that the three adults at the dinner table were looking at him in unison, whether it was sympathy or surprise in their eyes.

He was a little embarrassed to be stared at, so he quietly lowered his head again.

Su Lan reached out to remove the rice grains from his face, and said, "Hey, how many meals have you missed? You're so hungry."

Zhang Xian could hear a trace of blame from her tone, but thinking about the situation at that time, there was nothing to eat, it was lucky that she escaped.She reached out and caressed Shen Juan's back, looked at the couple, and said, "I haven't eaten for almost a whole day, and the child is very hungry. It's hard for him who didn't complain or make a sound along the way. Follow me." suffer."

"Ugh……"

Su Lan sighed lightly.Think about what kind of life they lived in the past; they didn't have to worry about food and lodging, they stretched out their clothes to eat and opened their mouths, but they fell into this appearance in just a few days.Fortunately, the child is sensible and did not put too much pressure on the mother.

She could only pursed her lips and smiled, comforting the mother and child, "It's all over now." She saw the traces of weather on Shen Ju'an's face again, he had been living a life like a young master before, with delicate skin and tender flesh Yes, it is very obvious when it is stained with a little dirt.

Su Lan led him to the ditch to wash his face.Zhang Xian who was on the side said, "Let him wash it by himself. He will have to help with many housework in life in the future. Let him get used to it in advance."

"It's true." Su Lan stood up straight, put the towel aside for Shen Ju'an, and told him to shower his hair, it was full of the stench of sea water.

The afternoon sun shines in through the doors and windows, and the figure of dust shows its prototype in the light, dancing with the breeze.

The afternoon is always relatively quiet, suitable for sleepy people.

Commander Jiang also went to work in the army, and those three mischievous children went to nowhere.Shen Ju'an was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly. After traveling all the way, she was a little tired physically and mentally.It happened to be such a quiet time, Su Lan and Zhang Xian were sitting on the sofa in the bedroom.The two good sisters haven't seen each other for many years, and there are endless things to say and heartfelt words.

Others dare not talk about such reactionary topics as bad family background, breaking the four old traditions and making troubles, but the two people who are in the same boat want to talk in detail.

Su Lan got up, picked up the kettle, poured a glass of water, and handed it to Zhang Xian. She moved a chair and sat opposite her, and said, "After I went to the island, I went to school to be a teacher. It's not just a good time for you to come here. Let Yufeng go to school and ask for half a day off for me."

Zhang Xian smiled after hearing this.

Su Lan said again: "By the way, those people didn't make things difficult for you when you left, did they?"

Zhang Xian shook her head: "No, I just didn't expect them to come to the door so soon, and I was completely unprepared. After they left, I took Xiao An and ran away."

"Oh, it turned out to be like this. Fortunately, you guys walked fast, otherwise I would have dragged you to do coolies." Su Lan said and pointed in the direction: "Hey, there is a Black Mountain Island over there, and it is full of beggars. Send them over there to do coolies."

After hearing this, Zhang Xian smiled shyly again. She lowered her head and thought for a while, and then said, "It's better for you, you married a good man."

This made Su Lan feel a little embarrassed, and she hurriedly retorted: "What's the matter, why don't you want to be an old mother, take care of men, and take care of those three children who make trouble all day long. Look at me Now, there is no such thing as a capitalist's eldest lady, she is completely a poor and lower-middle peasant woman."

Hearing what she said, Zhang Xian covered her mouth and laughed happily, "Come on, you, I didn't say that, you have done good deeds in your previous life, and you can live such a comfortable life in this life. You are really blessed and don't know blessing."

Su Lan also laughed with her, as if she hadn't laughed so heartily for a long time.Thinking about how the two of them went to and from school together as brothers and sisters, it is really vivid.Unexpectedly, after this rapid change, things have changed.

While smiling, Su Lan suddenly remembered something, and said, "By the way, there is a shortage of teachers on the island, why don't you try it?"

"Ah? This...would it be too much trouble?" Zhang Xian showed an embarrassed expression.

"No trouble, what Jiang Jianmin said, besides, you, a woman who has gone to college, let you go to the sea, are you willing?"

Since it was a frank and kind heart, Zhang Xian readily accepted it, touched Su Lan's hand and said, "Thank you very much, both of you."

"Hey, thank you, you can come, don't mention how happy I am." Su Lan rubbed her hand lightly while talking, and joked: "Look at your hand, it's still so white and tender, it doesn't look like me, it doesn't look like me." wrinkled."

Zhang Xian sneered, but felt a pang of soreness in her heart, and her eyes turned red.Along the way, I have been thinking about where they should go next if they treat themselves and Xiaoan differently and don't miss the old relationship.When we met this time, the other party was still the same as when I was young, with a generous personality. Although she was a mother, she was still like a little girl, saying everything without hiding it.The big rock hanging in my heart can always fall to the ground.

That afternoon seemed to be very long. The two talked and laughed, and talked about everything in those years.Occasionally there were tears, but they were all tears of happiness.

Shen Ju'an had a good sleep, but when he woke up, there were two smiling faces in front of him.

Jiang Yufeng and her younger brother? !

Seeing Shen Ju'an waking up, the two little ghosts covered their mouths and laughed so hard that they couldn't even see their eyes.

Shen Ju'an felt baffled, and suddenly regained consciousness.

The two siblings exchanged winks and ran out in a hurry, leaving Shen Ju'an alone in the room listening to their laughter and confused.

He got up and got out of bed, rubbed his slightly sore neck, and then walked out the door.But he bumped into Jiang Weidong head-on.

When Jiang Weidong saw him, his expression froze for a moment, then he covered his mouth and smiled, and then said: "Are you a panda?"

"Panda? What panda?..."

Shen Ju'an was thinking in his heart, but after sleeping, everyone felt as if they were sick.

But Jiang Weidong pointed to his face: "Go and have a look in the mirror yourself." After a pause, he continued: "It must have been drawn by those two bastards with brushes, but don't worry, I will teach you a lesson in a while. The two of them." After saying that, he sneered and walked away carelessly.

Shen Juan walked leisurely to the mirror, and after seeing the face inside clearly, she was really taken aback.I saw that my face was painted like a cat, which was worse than a panda.

He had no choice but to unscrew the faucet impatiently, and wanted to wash it off with clean water.But this ink can't be washed off so easily. After rubbing for a long time, the cheeks are flushed, but there are still big black marks.

Just when Su Lan and Zhang Xian passed the bathroom, they saw him splashing the water, so they asked, "What are you doing?"

Hearing the sound, he turned his head to look at the two, his dark face was full of grievances.

The two were dumbfounded after seeing it: "What's going on with your face..."

Shen Ju calmed down, and replied in a flat tone: "Ink..."

Su Lan thought for a while, and she came back to her senses: "It must be their fault, right?"

"Um……"

"You wait, I'll go to them to settle the score!" Su Lan said and went to find them with her back supported.

Zhang Xian supported the door frame and looked at Shen Ju'an, and couldn't help but sneered.

He said impatiently: "Mom, you laugh too..."

Zhang Xian walked over, pulled a towel and soaked it in the water, and said, "Come on, Mom will wash you up!"

"..."

In the evening, Shen Juan stood in the bathroom and took off the clothes full of weird smell.Picking up the wooden spoon, scooped up a ladle of water from the tub and poured it on his body.Unexpectedly, the temperature of the water was too cold, and he shivered from the cold.But there was no other hot water in the bathroom, so it was not good to call for help at this time.So he had no choice but to give up and hurriedly took a shower with the basin of cold water.

His cold lips trembled, and he was about to turn around to get his clothes from the stool, but his expression froze for a moment.Something bad happened, and after washing, I realized that I didn't bring in a change of clothes.

So he casually picked up the dirty clothes that he took off from the ground, thinking that he would just put it on and go out first.But it turned out to be contrary to his wishes, and the clothes on the ground were already wet from the water.

silence!My brain turned quickly for a while, and I couldn't bear the cold anymore, so I curled up and leaned against the door and called out: "Mom~ are you outside?"

no respond!

"mom……"

"Your mother is in the room, what's the matter?"

This is Aunt Su's voice, it's like a life-saving straw.Through the door, Shen Juan said embarrassedly: "Well, Auntie, I forgot to take my clothes..."

"Oh, that's it~ I said why it took so long to take a bath, you child, you didn't say it earlier." Su Lan turned her face and shouted: "Weidong~"

Hearing the sound, Jiang Weidong trotted over: "What's wrong?"

"Xiao An forgot to take a change of clothes. Go quickly and bring him the clean clothes on that chair."

"Oh……"

Jiang Weidong walked to the living room, but was dumbfounded after taking the clothes on the chair into his hands.He hurried over to Su Lan and said, "Mom, aren't these my clothes?"

"It's your childhood clothes!" Su Lan corrected: "They left in a hurry and didn't bring pajamas. Anyway, you won't be able to wear these clothes anymore. It's just for Xiao An to wear them to sleep."

Jiang Weidong is a few years older than Shen Ju'an. People of this age grow faster, and naturally they can't fit in the old clothes.

"Take it in and give it to Xiao An, don't catch a cold." Su Lan said in an orderly tone.

Jiang Weidong glanced at her, and walked to the bathroom door a little restlessly.Knocked on the door: "Open the door, your clothes!"

Shen Ju'an's heart trembled at the sound of his voice.Immediately, the door latch was pulled out, and a small gap was opened, just enough for a hand to be stretched out.Just as he was taking the clothes, the door was suddenly pushed open by Jiang Weidong from the outside.

In an instant, Shen Juan's full body appeared in front of him.

The next moment, Shen Ju'an hurriedly covered his sensitive position with his clothes, drooping his head and not daring to speak.

Jiang Weidong leaned against the door and said with a smile: "He is really a man with handles." After speaking, he trotted away.

Shen Ju'an quickly closed the door with a shy expression on his face.Although everyone is a boy, it doesn't matter if you take a look.But Jiang Weidong's tone of voice when he said that, what do you mean he is really a man... Could it be that he is not a boy if he looks handsome...

After he got dressed, something was wrong.My clothes are all long-sleeved Western-style pajamas, how can there be such a worn-out white vest and army green trousers? !

He hesitated for a while, but still walked out with strides, pretending to be disapproving.

Aunt Su who came over said happily, "Ah, Xiaoan, I didn't expect you to look so good in Weidong's clothes."

"This...is this brother Weidong's clothes?"

"That's right, he doesn't want your brother Weidong's old clothes. You just didn't bring your pajamas, so you can wear this at night." After speaking, Su Lan smiled at him and walked into the bathroom.

Shen Ju'an pouted, but had no choice but to give up, thinking in his heart: "Since it's here, it's safe..."

At this time, Jiang Weidong opened the door, stared at him, and said, "My mother asked you to share a room with me."

Shen Ju'an hesitated for a while, and then responded: "Oh..." Then he passed by him and walked into the door.

After entering the room, Jiang Weidong closed the door firmly.
