Ask for peace of mind

"An'an, come here." Wen Di greeted Xu Wei'an.

"Brother Wen Di, what's the matter?" Xu Wei'an saw that he was holding a few beautifully wrapped small boxes in his hand, but he didn't know what was inside.

Wen Di smiled and put the box on the table next to him, took the washbasin from the side, and poured half a basin of hot water into it. "Put your hands in the basin, it's a little hot at first, bear with it."

Xu Wei'an tested the temperature with his hand, it was really hot, he slowly put his hand into the water, looked up at Wen Di, not knowing what he was going to do.The temperature of the water is very high, and it is very uncomfortable when you put your hands in it, it is hot and painful, but it is still very comfortable after getting used to it.

Wen Di took a clean towel and soaked it in water.Xu Wei'an looked at Wen Di's slender, white, delicate and flexible hands in the water, and then at his own black, red, wrinkled and swollen hands, and moved his hands down the towel uncomfortably, trying to block Wen Di's sight.

Wen Di didn't pay attention. Seeing that the towel was soaked, she took it out and wrung it several times.

"Come on, lift your head up." Wen Di fixed his face with one hand, and wiped his face with a towel in the other hand.The towel was so hot that it hurt Xu Wei'an's face. He moved his head unconsciously, trying to avoid it.

"Don't move, bear with it." Wen Di's hand that fixed his face was strong to keep him from moving, and the other hand gently applied a hot towel to his face.

When Wen Di felt that the application was almost done, he slowly rubbed Xu Wei'an's cheeks with his hands, scrubbing with a towel while rubbing.Only now did Xu Wei'an realize that Wen Di saw that his face was dark and chapped, and when he washed his face, his whole face turned red.

Wen Di was immediately happy, "I thought I washed your feet last night, and you should get used to it. I didn't expect you to be shy?"

Xu Wei'an blushed and smoked, wishing he could find a crack in the ground and yelled, "Don't talk, don't laugh."

Wen Dile couldn't do it, but he was afraid that he would set himself on fire, so he immediately changed the subject, "Don't lower your head, it will be healed soon, I'll wipe it again, it might hurt a little."

Xu Wei'an could only obediently raise his head and let him do what he did.Although it hurts a bit, after scrubbing the face, it is very comfortable.

After scrubbing his face, Wen Di took his hand again and scrubbed it carefully.Although the little hands were rubbed red, they were no longer dry and wrinkled.

After washing, Wen Di poured a basin of hot water and scrubbed his hands and face again.There wasn't much hot water last night, so he didn't clean up for Xu Wei'an.This time he was asked to take off his shoes, and rubbed them carefully in the footbath.

In the end, Xu Wei'an completely gave up his morals, and obediently played with Wen Di.

After tidying up, Wen Di picked up a small box on the table, scooped out a lump of ointment, and gently applied Xu Wei'an's frostbitten skin. "This is frostbite ointment, apply it every day, and the frostbite will heal." After rubbing the frostbite ointment into the skin, Wen Di picked up a few more boxes for Xu Wei'an, and said with a smile: "These are for you, winter Wipe it, your hands and face will not be chapped. You apply it yourself, and I will boil the water. We have used up all the water in the kettle. Oh, yes, I almost forgot, I don’t like eggs, this is for you Eat, it's still warm." Wen Di took out the egg from his pocket and stuffed it into Xu Wei'an's pocket.

Wen Di nodded embarrassedly.When Wen Di entered the kitchen, Xu Wei'an's eye circles still couldn't help turning red, and big tears couldn't stop flowing out.He sobbed softly, wiped away his tears quietly, then opened the box, and smeared his hands and face with ointment.

At that time, he was thinking that there would never be someone more gentle than Wendi in the world.

Xu Wei'an arrived last night and hasn't gone to say hello to his uncle's house yet.He first carried the swill to his uncle's house which was closer to the old house, while Wen Di went directly to Sun Lin's house.

My uncle and my aunt have always been very frugal. Even if life is better now, they are not willing to buy anything, and my uncle's family has not changed much.

Xu Wei'an was very reserved at his uncle's house, said a few words, mentioned to his uncle that he was going to herd sheep in the afternoon, and then came out.The sheep were raised together by the two uncles' families, and the two families built a large sheepfold with thatch and bamboo poles on the river slope next to the house.

Xu Wei'an didn't want to go to his uncle's house. He was afraid and nervous when he saw two uncles, and even shivered when it was serious.The uncles never beat him, and even his grandmother turned a blind eye when she gave him money, but they never gave him a good look.Xu Wei'an could feel their indifference and indifference to him, just like his mother Sun Yulan did to him.Xu Wei'an knew that he owed them, so he couldn't lift his head when facing their expressions.After coming to Sunzhuang, he never caused troubles, and he actively helped when he saw work, and he resolutely didn't let himself become a drag.He didn't know how long he still owed them, and he didn't know when they would take back what they had paid before. Xu Wei'an was very disturbed, and he couldn't calm down when he saw them.

When I arrived at my uncle's house, my aunt was washing the dishes. Seeing Xu Wei'an, she smiled and asked, "An'an, have you had breakfast yet?"

Xu Wei'an stood at the door of the kitchen, and replied cautiously: "I have eaten, the corn paste and steamed buns made by grandma." Looking back, he found that there was no one in the yard, "Auntie, isn't uncle at home?"

"He went out to play. He has been busy for a year, and he only has time to rest when the Chinese New Year is approaching!" The little aunt's tone was a little distressed.

"Well, I need to take a good rest." Hearing that his uncle was not there, Xu Wei'an felt less nervous.He pursed his lips and asked, "Auntie, I heard from grandma that the sheep gave birth to a lamb. I want to go and see."

"I knew you would like it, your Sister Yanzi is feeding it now, go and have a look!"

There are many trees growing on the slope of the river, as well as the bamboo planted by my brother-in-law's house. It is very shady in summer. When Xu Wei'an and Sun Yan have nothing to do, they like to tie a hemp rope to two adjacent trees to swing.Now in winter, except for the bamboo and the leaves, the other trees are bare and sparse, but the sunlight has slowly penetrated through the entire forest, bringing out a warm halo.

Seeing Sun Yan squatting on the ground with his back facing him, Xu Wei'an shouted, "Sister Yanzi, I'm here."

Hearing his voice, Sun Yan turned her head and stood up, and said with a smile: "I was going to find you, but Brother Wendi said you would come here in a while." She pointed to the lamb beside her leg, "Look, cute Right? It’s been more than a month, let’s herd the sheep in the afternoon.”

"Yes." Xu Wei'an nodded in agreement.He squatted down and touched a tiger-headed ram next to him, and was immediately resisted. The little guy was very dissatisfied and pressed his horn against Xu Wei'an's knee.

"Don't touch it, it likes to hit people the most, you see." Sun Yan said while patting the sheep's head, and the sheep turned its head to hit her, making her laugh out loud.

Xu Wei'an was speechless, if you bully others, of course they will bully you back.

There were four lambs in total, only this one was male, he ignored Sun Yan after playing with her for a while, and went back to grab the goat milk to eat.

"An'an, how did you do in the final exam?" Both of them were students, and the conversation inevitably talked about their academic performance.

"Hey, third in the class. What about you?" Xu Wei'an was quite satisfied with his grades. He didn't want to be the first, but he definitely didn't allow himself to do poorly in the exam.

Sun Yan was also hehe for a while, then scratched her head and said embarrassedly: "Don't mention me, I have always been bad at studying, this time I was at the bottom again, and my father scolded me when I came back." She is in the same grade as Xu Wei'an , but every time the test results are not as good as Xu Wei'an.

Xu Wei'an thought about the scene where his uncle scolded others, and he was a little timid, but he also envied Sun Yan, "My uncle cares about you." Sun Yan was only scolded for his poor grades, and he would definitely not be able to go to school if his grades were not good.

Like a little adult, Sun Yan sighed deeply: "Hey, I understand the hearts of the parents in the world!"

Xu Wei'an: "..."

The sheep had already eaten the food in the basin, so Sun Yan picked up the basin and bullied the ram, saying, "An'an, what are we doing in the morning? Do you want to play marbles?"

"Didn't we lose all our marbles to Sun Kai and the others during the summer vacation?"

"Grandma found it when she was cleaning the Westinghouse. It may be from last year. Do you want to play with it?"

Xu Wei'an hesitated, he wanted to do winter vacation homework.He is struggling to study now, and wants to learn more during the winter vacation.

"Sister Yanzi, let's do our homework for the winter vacation." Xu Wei'an suggested, "There are several books, and I don't know when we will finish them."

"It's so annoying! I don't want to write." Sun Yan frowned, "I can borrow your copy and copy it, and the teacher won't check it."

"...my uncle will cut you when he finds out." Xu Wei'an didn't want to see his uncle's face, thinking about it made him terrified.

"Hey, let's just be careful, you know I know the world, he won't know." Sun Yan smiled and hugged Xu Wei'an, who was taller than Xu Wei'an, and touched Xu Wei'an's head, "I know An An is the best."

Xu Wei'an wanted to roll his eyes, if he didn't study hard, would he get good grades and not be scolded?

Seeing that he was silent, Sun Yan smiled wickedly, and said in a low voice, "Help me, I'll tell you a secret about Brother Wendi, how about it?"

Seeing her mysterious look, Xu Wei'an felt depressed and curious, obviously he knew Brother Wendi very well, why did he have to know Brother Wendi's secret from others?But he wondered what the secret was.What a contradiction!

Xu Wei'an was depressed, so he heard Sun Yan say, "Brother Wen Di brought you a birthday present, and said he wanted to surprise you." She was the most impatient and couldn't hold back her words. The man who poured beans said it.

"Ah..." Xu Wei'an was stunned, and what followed was joy and emotion, and he didn't know what to say, "Is this true?" He didn't know that Wen Di remembered his birthday, his birthday It was in the spring, when he was usually at school or at home, and no one remembered it, and he had almost forgotten it himself.

"Of course it's true. I saw him take out a box and said it was for you." Sun Yan rolled his eyes at him and pouted, "Can there be any truth to what I said?"

Xu Wei'an didn't have the heart to argue with her, so he hurriedly asked, "Where are Brother Wen Di and Brother Lin Zi, why aren't they at your house?"

"They went to the bamboo garden to cut bamboo, and there are not enough beds at home. My father wants to make a bamboo bed."

"Why don't you go?" Xu Wei'an knew that she was Lin Zige's follower.

Sun Yan kicked the stone beside her feet unhappily, "My brother asked me to do my homework, but I won't let me go."

"Then let's do our homework for a while, or you will suffer when they come back." Although Xu Wei'an wanted to go to the bamboo garden itchingly, he should do his homework after thinking about it. Studying is the top priority. A bright future to come.

Seeing the pain and hesitation on Sun Yan's face, he had no choice but to say, "Let's do our homework first, and then play marbles."

"Alright then." Sun Yanmian reluctantly agreed.

The morning time passed quickly, the two of them wrote five or six pages of homework with a combination of work and rest, and it was noon. Wen Di and Sun Lin also just came back after cutting bamboo.

It wasn't obvious when he was walking, but when he stood up after sitting for a whole morning, Xu Wei'an's legs felt uncomfortable, soft and sore.Wen Di saw that he was walking awkwardly, so she knew it was the aftereffect of his sudden exercise after he hadn't exercised for a long time, and planned to rub his legs for him when he went to bed at night.

At noon, I ate at my uncle's house. Now that life is better, the food is much richer.My aunt's cooking skills are average, but she is willing to put oil and seasonings, and the taste is still very good.

After eating, Xu Wei'an greeted the two uncles, and Wen Di took advantage of the high temperature to herd sheep along the river bank.Originally, Sun Yan wanted to follow, but she failed because her family needed her help to make a bamboo bed.

Winter is the dry season, the river water recedes, and the river slopes are covered with withered and yellow weeds.Xu Wei'an drove the sheep down the embankment with a thin bamboo pole in his hand, and Wen Di also followed his example, driving the dragged lamb to the ewe.

"Brother Wendi, there is a lot of grass in this place, let's put it here for a while."

"Okay, there's a rock over there, let's tie the sheep rope to the rock, and we'll change the place later."

Tie the ewe's sheep's rope tightly to the stone, and the two of them sat side by side on the thick withered grass to bask in the sun.

The warm wind blows, the mild sun shines, and the green wheat seedlings in the fields on the river bank sway slightly in the wind. Occasionally, chirping sparrows fly by at low altitude, breaking the quiet atmosphere.The two who had just finished eating were a little drowsy in this cozy environment.

Wen Di stretched her waist and said with a smile, "An'an, I really want to lie down and sleep for a while!"

Xu Wei'an pursed his lips and smiled, thinking that the other party thought the meadow was dirty, so he said: "It's warm now, I'll take off the jacket and you can sleep on it" as he spoke, he unbuttoned his coat.

Wen Di was taken aback, and after understanding what he meant, he couldn't help laughing, stopped his movement of unbuttoning, held his face and rubbed it vigorously, "You..." He didn't say much, Lie directly on the meadow, and even pulled Xu Wei'an to lie down, letting him rest on his arm.

Wen Di was wearing a gray pullover, a thick black woolen coat, and jeans on his legs. He was tall and long-legged, very handsome.His smiling face made the whole person exude a gentle and indescribable temperament.Seeing his gentle eyes, Xu Wei'an was filled with happiness and joy.He thought that there would never be a better person than Wendi.

Reaching out to touch his face, Xu Wei'an said, "Brother Wendi, you are so pretty."

Wen Di took his hand and held it in his hand, her smile deepened, teasing him, "Really? Compared with your brother Lin Zi?"

Sun Lin was tall and slender, with fair skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a straight nose, and rosy lips. He was a standard handsome man.Wen Di has sharp brows and star eyes, probably because he likes sports, his fair skin has now turned into a light wheat color, and his lines are quite tough.Different from Wen Di when he was sixteen or seventeen, although the current Wen Di is not cold, he is not very enthusiastic, and his whole person is a lot more restrained.He often gives people the impression of good temperament, and his appearance is basically ignored.

Xu Wei'an replied without hesitation: "Brother Lin Zi is also good-looking, but I like your appearance more." Then he stroked Wen Di's eyebrows with one hand, "Your eyebrows are darker than his, and their shape is more beautiful ; When you smile, there are stars in your eyes, very bright and beautiful."

Wen Di took his hand, held both of his hands with one hand, and laughed at him, "An'an is such a sycophant, she can make me happy."

Xu Wei'an pursed his lips, feeling unhappy: "I'm telling the truth, I won't lie to you." Thinking about it, I felt a little wronged.

Wen Di was taken aback for a moment, seeing his dark eyes gradually fogged up, and knew that he might have poked the little guy's spot, and he was too funny.Wen Di hurriedly took the man over and stroked his back, "I was teasing you before, it was my fault, I shouldn't have made you sad."

Xu Wei'an snorted, and turned his head away to ignore him.

Wen Di saw that the mist in his eyes had dissipated, patted him on the back, and said with a smile: "An An is right, I am indeed prettier than your brother Lin Zi. I believe in An An's vision."

"Pfft!" Xu Wei'an couldn't help laughing.He buried his head in Wen Di's arms embarrassingly, and complained silently in his heart: Brother Wen Di has such a thick skin!

Fortunately, Wen Di didn't know about the kid's complaints, otherwise he would definitely hug him and rub him.In order to make children happy, his image is ruined.

The two lay down for a while, and when Xu Wei'an almost fell asleep in a daze, he felt a gust of hot air on his face, as if something was gnawing at his face.

Slowly opened his eyes, a huge sheep's head came into view, scared Xu Wei'an's whole heart skipped a beat, and rolled to the side abruptly, waking up Wen Di who was in a daze.

Xu Wei'an reached out and pushed the sheep above his head away, sat up, and found that it was the ram in the morning.Looking around again, it turns out that the grass around the stone has been almost eaten.

Xu Wei'an pulled La Wendi, "Brother Wendi, let's change to another place, the grass here is finished."

The two stood up and patted each other on the dead grass on their bodies, and then shook the bamboo poles to drive the sheep to a place with plenty of grass.

The two of them didn't lie down anymore, they sat side by side.Xu Wei'an got up early for a run, lacked sleep and was tired. He dozed off after sitting for a while, his head bit by bit like a chicken pecking at rice.Wen Di looked amused, turned around and let him lean into his arms.Xu Wei'an closed his eyes and adjusted his posture according to the situation, rubbing against each other comfortably.

Wen Di squinted at the green wheat seedlings in the field across the river, and his mind was a little empty.This winter vacation may be the last time he can relax as an adult.

Time passed without knowing it, Wen Di patted Xu Wei'an to wake him up.The cool air has come down, if you sleep like this, you will catch a cold.

Xu Wei'an was woken up by the patting, and Wen Di stretched out his hand to drag him away in a daze. He didn't wake up until he drove the sheep up the embankment.

Xu Wei'an took a bamboo pole from Wen Di's hand and shook it, "Brother Wen Di, are you going back?"

"Yeah." Wen Di drove the sheep back, "The cold air has come down, and they are almost full, so let's do it for today."

Xu Wei'an snorted, and suddenly thought of the secret that Sister Yanzi said in the morning.He scratched his head, a little embarrassed, but couldn't hold back the anticipation in his heart, "Brother Wendi, Sister Yanzi said you prepared a birthday present for me, didn't you?" Little Xu Wei'an betrayed his cousin unconsciously.

Wen Di was speechless for a moment, thinking that children really couldn't believe it.He asked Sun Yan to keep it a secret, and even gave him candy as a bribe, but the little girl told her about it before half a day passed.

"Well, guess what?"

"Chocolate? Fruit candy?"

Wen Di couldn't help but smiled and knocked him, "Why are you thinking about something to eat, is it a pig? Let me see." Then he went to lick Xu Wei'an's waist.

Xu Wei'an was the most ticklish, couldn't help giggling, pushed Wendi hard to keep him from touching, and muttered: "You are the little pig."

Wen Di stopped moving, stretched out his arms to hold him, and prevented him from running around, "I put the gift in your schoolbag, I'll go back later and see if I like it." After a pause, he added: "I guess I won't have time in the future Come to play, go back and give you the address, you can write to me, and you can find me if you have any questions."

"Will you write me back?" Xu Wei'an asked.

"Fool, of course I will reply to your letter." Wen Di thought for a while, "I will reply to every letter of yours if you are not busy. If you need anything, remember to tell me, and I will send it to you."

Xu Wei'an was very moved, but also deeply ashamed.He felt that he was a blood-sucking worm, unable to survive alone, he could only look for a host to support him, but he was useless and could not give back to the host, so he was disgusted by the people around him.Wen Di is so good, he doesn't want himself to keep asking Wen Di like this without giving anything in return, he is afraid that one day Wen Di will find him incompetent and despicable, and show him disgusting eyes.

"Brother Wendi, don't be so nice to me." Xu Wei'an murmured in a low voice, he pulled Wendi's sleeve, tears quickly filled his eyes, "I'm afraid I won't be able to repay you, after a long time, you will hate me I."

Wen Di saw the teardrops in his eyes falling down without money, and her heart was so weak, she knelt down and hugged him in her arms, patted his shoulder and comforted him: "An'an, brother will never hate you. The first time I saw you, I felt that I hit it off, but after getting along, I found that you are really a good boy, obedient and caring. My brother likes you from the bottom of his heart, and I thought it would be great if you were my younger brother." He reached out and wiped it off. Xu Wei'an's tears, "Don't cry, be careful that the wind blows your face chapped. I will repay you when you grow up. Now be obedient and study hard. We will talk about other things later."

"Brother!" Xu Wei'an sobbed and called out shyly.

"Hey!" Wen Di laughed, and quickly responded.He wiped away the tears from Xu Wei'an's face, pinched his cheeks, and laughed at him, "Boys still cry so much, are you ashamed, huh?"

Xu Wei'an blushed and threw himself into Wen Di's arms, not letting him see.

Wen Di patted Xu Wei'an's head, stood up, and reached out to Xu Wei'an, "The sheep are gone, let's go after them."

Xu Wei'an nodded, hugged Wen Di's arm and rubbed his face, and put his little hand in Wen Di's.

The little hand was tightly held in the big one, warm and strong.

When sleeping at night, Wen Di hugged Xu Wei'an's leg and rubbed it for a while, ignoring his struggle at all, the pain made him howl, and tears were about to come out.Xu Wei'an is indeed a fickle child, and his heart keeps scrolling: Brother Wen Di is a big villain, and I will never talk to him again.It's just that before going to bed, he couldn't help but get into Wen Di's arms, thinking about the gifts he gave - a dictionary and a set of stationery, the corners of his little mouth turned up, and he completely forgot who said Wen Di in his heart just a moment ago. Diego is a big bad guy.
