Double Life: My whole world is you

"Am I wrong? You can buy a house in just a few years. Who knows where the money will come from..." the aunt continued.

"That's right! They have two daughters, and the younger one is in the prime of life..." the aunt at the side also said.

"Ahhh! I will tear you bad guys to pieces..." Cheng Qiao pushed those cousins ​​away with all her might, rushed to her aunt, slapped her a few times, and slapped her aunt with her backhand. Instantly, several five-finger marks appeared on their faces. Seeing this, others came to beat Cheng Qiao. At this time, her uncle and others also came. The scene became chaotic. The two tables together were smashed to pieces. Cheng Qiao didn't know how to curse, she just grabbed people and beat them. Although she was covered with wounds and her hair was messy, she became more and more courageous. She laughed crazily, "Come on! I have tolerated you for more than 20 years. Let's settle the new and old grudges together..."

Mother Cheng looked at her two children and the messy scene. She asked with empty eyes, "Why is it like this? Why..."

Finally, he fell heavily to the ground...

"Mom..." Cheng Qiao shouted loudly.

"What a coincidence..." Cheng's mother called softly.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Cheng Zhu crawled out.

Cheng Qiao was awake. Looking at the two anxious people, she moved her numb arms and comforted them softly, "It's okay. I had a nightmare."

"Qiao, come in and lie down." Cheng's mother said with heartache as she touched her cold hand.

Cheng Qiao looked at the watch on her right hand. It was still two o'clock in the morning. She touched Cheng's mother's forehead. She still had a fever, but it was much better than before. She stood up and poured Cheng's mother another glass of water. "Mom, how do you feel? If you still feel uncomfortable in the morning, I will go to the next bay to get a doctor for you."

Cheng's mother took the water and drank half of it. She handed the cup to Cheng Qiao and then lay down again. She must have been holding on just now. She panted softly, "It's okay, Mom is just too tired. I just need to rest for a while."

"Sister, Mom has been cleaning other people's homes with Lady Wu after get off work lately and comes back very late." Cheng Zhu said, "I fall asleep every time she comes back."

"Mom, it's okay. It's too late. Go to bed." After saying a few words, Cheng's mother fell asleep again.

Cheng Zhu also touched Cheng Ma's face. He cried a little, "Sister, Mom still has a fever. I feel she is even hotter than before."

Cheng Qiao touched her forehead, and she also felt that Cheng Ma's fever had risen again. She quickly got out of bed and took a hot towel to apply to Cheng Ma's forehead. Seeing that the three thermos bottles were empty, he and Cheng Zhu went to the kitchen to fetch the last half bucket of water, and found the water boiler that Cheng Ma brought back from the city. It was a 20-centimeter-long heat pipe with a white rubber cover on it. Cheng Zhu skillfully put the heat pipe in the water, and then found a socket wire from his schoolbag. Although it was wrapped with tape several times, Cheng Zhu tried the socket by the door in the room and saw that the heat pipe was red. He said happily, "Sister, this socket wire is broken at my aunt's house. I spent fifty cents to find a wire with a lead at the scrap collection station next to the school. It can still be used. Mom doesn't know."

Cheng Qiao gave him a thumbs up and said, "Brother, you are awesome."

"The one we had last year broke," Cheng Zhu said, "otherwise we wouldn't be able to watch the Spring Festival Gala tomorrow night."

"Do we still have a TV at home?" Cheng Qiao remembered that the black and white TV that Cheng's mother had when she got married was stolen.

Cheng Zhu took out a black bag from his schoolbag and finally took out a square TV that was only 20 centimeters in size. Cheng Qiao's face was full of question marks, "Did your mother buy this?"

"How could that be? Have you forgotten? This is what my aunt brought back for us last year." Cheng Zhu said, "But you can only watch CCTV1, and nothing else."

"Okay, it's nice to be able to watch the Spring Festival Gala." Cheng Qiao nodded, "Put it aside and go to sleep. We have a lot to do tomorrow."

"Sister, I've slept for a few hours." Chengzhu took the towel from her hand, "You go to sleep for a while."

Cheng Qiao shook her head. "Then you stay inside. I'll help Mom change her towel outside. I'll wait until her fever goes down before going to bed."

The two of them stopped talking. Cheng Zhu crawled inside and covered Cheng Ma tightly with the quilt. Cheng Qiao sat outside and also covered her tightly with the quilt. She kept changing hot towels for her. Half an hour later, Cheng Qiao felt that Cheng Ma was sweating. After she sweated for a while, Cheng Ma's frown gradually relaxed. Cheng Qiao took a towel to wipe the sweat off her body. Cheng Zhu had fallen asleep. She dragged her tired body and curled up beside Cheng Ma and fell asleep...

"Sister..." She didn't know how long she had slept, but she felt like a monster was chasing her all night. When she woke up again, Chengzhu was standing beside her and patting her gently.

She rubbed her eyes and looked out the window. It was already bright outside. She looked at her watch and it was already seven in the morning. She got out of bed quietly, put on her clothes and followed Cheng Zhu to the kitchen. She took the big bucket that Cheng's mother used to fetch water yesterday, and then the shoulder pole. Cheng Zhu held the bucket and she held the shoulder pole. They opened and closed the door silently and came to the well at her aunt's house. Cheng Zhu scooped up the water. They tried it twice and finally poured some out, leaving most of the bucket of water. Cheng Zhu was in front and Cheng Qiao was behind. They staggered and finally got home with only half of the water left.

Cheng Qiao first went into the room to check on Cheng Ma. Seeing that she had not yet woken up, she covered her with the quilt on both sides, and quietly went to the kitchen with Cheng Zhu to take things. Cheng Zhu asked, "Sister, can you cook porridge?"

"I can." Cheng Qiao answered affirmatively.

"I remember you cooked at home two years ago, but you didn't cook the middle part, so the two sides were burnt." Cheng Zhu complained softly.

Cheng Qiao curled her lips helplessly, "That was two years ago."

But when Chengzhu saw that she had struck three matches but none of them lit up, he couldn't help but snatch the matches from her hand, lit two and it lit up, "Sister, I'll light the fire, you cook."

"Okay." Cheng Qiao washed the rice and put it into the pot. Two years ago, they still had a rice cooker at home, but it was stolen last year.

It is not difficult to cook porridge, just add more water. After Cheng Qiao prepared the porridge in the pot, he said to Cheng Zhu, "Brother, you light the fire first, I will go and sweep the floor."

"Okay, sister." Chengzhu responded obediently.

Cheng Qiao came to the big room. She used the water from washing her feet yesterday to water the room, and then swept it with a broom. She also swept the living room twice. She planned to take the mop to the pond to wash it and then mop the floor again. At this time, Cheng Zhu came out of the kitchen, "Sister, the porridge is boiling. You watch it while I wash the mop."

"Okay, run slower." Cheng Qiao instructed him and went to the kitchen.

Seeing the porridge in the pot boiling so much that it lifted up the lid, she quickly opened the lid, put a spatula next to the pot to leave some space, and then covered the pot again. It boiled for a quarter of an hour, and then put a little firewood in the back to ensure that it would simmer slowly without turning off the fire. When Cheng Zhu came to the kitchen, Cheng Qiao had turned off the fire.

"Sister, I mopped the room and the living room." Cheng Zhu said, "I ran into my uncle when I went to the pond just now. He told us to go to their place and have the New Year dinner quickly."
