talk about wine

Zhou Qingwu looked at the turtle in her hand, stood up and gestured: I'll deal with it.

Meng Chuxi hesitated and handed it to her. She was ashamed to say that she was a little apprehensive about killing chickens and fish.

Zhou Qingwu went to deal with the soft-shelled turtle, while she prepared the ingredients for cooking.Wuwu saw a new member coming, and was always curious, sniffing around the child.It's just that the child was obviously afraid of Wuwu, and he shrank to hide in it, but he didn't dare to confront the dog like before.

When Meng Chuxi saw it, she quickly called out: "Woooo come here, don't go over, you're scaring me." After being reprimanded, Meng Chuxi glanced at the child listlessly, and went straight out to find Zhou Qingwu for grievances.

Meng Chuxi looked amused: "It's like a child."

She glanced at the child and asked her, "We don't know your name yet? What's your name?"

The child looked at her in silence for a while, and finally shook his head, she didn't remember.She used to have a name, and she was protected by her parents at that time, but her parents died, and no one called her by her name anymore.

Later, she wandered around and was called too many messy nicknames. As for the nickname given to her by Chunfenglou, she didn't want it at all.

Meng Chuxi frowned: "What's your last name?"

The child shook his head: "It's very long, I can't remember." Her voice was a little hoarse, but with the immatureness of a child, it could be heard that she was not very old.

"Your eyes are very beautiful. You look different from us. You are not from Dayan, right?" Meng Chuxi walked up to her at this moment, squatted down slightly and looked up at her.

No one has ever squatted down and looked at her like this when talking to her. The child was very touched. He looked at her in a daze, touched his eyes for a long time and looked away in pain: "They said my eyes look like monsters, which are not good-looking. .”

"How come, your eyes look like the sky, they are all blue, and they are very beautiful. They are rare and strange. I can't see someone who looks different from them. Maybe you are very jealous." Meng Chuxi looked very serious, she Knowing that what the child in front of him lacks is not only a sense of security, but also accumulated indifference, which is different from Zhou Qingwu back then.Zhou Qingwu shrunk himself up, but this child filled himself with thorns.

After finishing speaking, she stopped talking: "Okay, you sit here obediently by yourself, and I will cook with sister Qingwu. Well, my name is Meng Chuxi, and that very gentle sister is Zhou Qingwu."

After a brief conversation, Meng Chuxi devoted himself to cooking. The soft-shelled turtle soup is best stewed. There are wolfberries and red ginseng at home. After Meng Chuxi added some mushrooms, he put these medicinal materials and stewed them slowly in a crock pot.And the meat Meng Chuxi bought back decided to use the lean meat to boil the mushy meat, which is easy to digest and not greasy.In addition, the sweet potato is also out, you can make a plate of sweet potato, and then steamed eggs, rich and balanced nutrition, suitable for that little girl to eat.

The child sat alone in the room, but his ears were engrossed in listening to the movement over there.Because there is one person who can't speak, I can only hear the beautiful woman's voice from time to time, soft and gentle, and occasionally mention myself, without any malice.

She still can't believe that she can meet such a good person. She has been wandering for four years, except for the grandma who picked her up and treated her better. The people she met were worse than the last, and it was her bones to survive. Hard, she really didn't dare to think that she could go back to heaven.

But the two of them are so gentle, the layout of the house, the way they talk and do things, are all good people's gestures.I am a little girl with nothing, unless I really give her away, otherwise I really have nothing to covet.

The scent from the kitchen wafted from the yard and inevitably entered the child's nose, and his stomach immediately surrendered, and he began to growl.

Soon two people came in, and the child hurriedly looked away, only to see them coming this way with vegetables in their hands.

Putting the dishes on the table, Meng Chuxi smiled and said, "I'm going to eat here because of the special circumstances." After she finished speaking, she went back and put the fragrant earthen pot on the table.

The child looked at the dishes on the table, and was stunned for a while, but he didn't dare to move the chopsticks until Zhou Qingwu filled the food for her and handed it to her, then she tentatively picked up the chopsticks.

"Hurry up and eat, you must be very hungry." Meng Chuxi was serving soup for them to signal the children to eat.

The child was holding the white rice, with a gleam in his eyes, and took a big mouthful of rice very quickly with the chopsticks.It's just that after she put it in her mouth, she realized something was wrong, and looked at the two people looking at her quite carefully.

With her mouth full of food, she didn't dare to chew unrestrainedly, and swallowed with a choked throat, Zhou Qingwu froze and quickly waved her hand to stop her.

But it was still too late, the mouthful of rice choked up, and the child's face flushed instantly. Meng Chuxi immediately stood up, pulled her over, pressed her on her lap, and slapped her on the back a few times before she spit out the rice.Zhou Qingwu hurriedly ordered a glass of water for her to drink.

This scene was thrilling and embarrassing. The child looked at the white rice spat out on the ground, his face flushed and turned pale, and an inexplicable sense of frustration and shame made the child's eyes turn red.

Meng Chuxi and Zhou Qingwu looked at each other, feeling a little sad, Meng Chuxi said calmly, "Raise your head and sit down."

Hearing this, the child slowly raised his head, sat down and looked at the expressions of the two of them.

"It's been a long time since I ate, right?" She realized now that Mother Chen wanted to teach her a lesson and grind her temper, so how could she give her food.

She nodded, Meng Chuxi sighed, and said seriously: "You are here now, you will have three meals a day, don't rush, grab, or restrain yourself, these are all yours, no one will not give you Eat. It’s just that you’re extremely hungry and you can’t overeat, you have to chew slowly, I know it’s hard to do, but at least you can’t just swallow it in one big gulp.”

As she said that, she handed her the chopsticks again, and Zhou Qingwu put some of the vegetables on the plate into her bowl, and Meng Chuxi handed her the soup: "Eat some food first, and then drink the soup."

The child held the bowl and started to eat bite by bite with chopsticks. She was obviously faster than ordinary people, but she tried her best to chew well before swallowing.This dish tastes better than anything she has ever eaten, even this unknown green vegetable is so delicious, a bowl of rice is eaten quickly.

Meng Chuxi motioned her to drink the soup. The soft-shelled turtle soup was milky white and delicious, and it was delicious to drink. She had never eaten soft-shelled turtle but knew that soft-shelled turtle was a good thing. Where could ordinary people get it? She was still starving in the morning. Being whipped, but now sitting here eating white rice and drinking soft-shelled turtle soup, she really seemed to be dreaming.

So much suffering did not make her cry, because crying is not helpful except to tell others that you are in pain, so she has to hold back crying when the pain is unbearable, and the tears shed under humiliation will make her feel more sad.

But when happiness came, this tenacious willpower would fall apart. She drank the soup one mouthful at a time, but the tears fell drop by drop. She opened her eyes and couldn't restrain herself at all.

Why can't I stop crying when I'm obviously not in pain, not sad, and even happy and moved?

Later, when she grew up, she realized that love is actually more lethal than hate. With the latter, you will build walls, but with the former, you will soften your armor.

The two didn't persuade her but just waited quietly, Zhou Qingwu's eyes were a little red, she could understand her mood.

After crying, the child looked at them with sobs, his eyes were full of embarrassment, the face that was already deep and a little cold instantly softened a lot, and the eyes were soft like a child.

Meng Chuxi took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears. The child blushed and murmured the first thank you for her return. Her voice was very low, and she couldn't pronounce the words clearly, because she hadn't said these two words for too long. up.

"Stop crying, I'm not full yet, drink another bowl of soup, I can't eat any more rice, and I can't bear it even if I eat too much, let's make it earlier at night, okay?" Meng Chuxi could see that she was gradually softening, and her voice became more and more serious gentle.

The child nodded, and continued to sip the soup, no longer as eager as before.She hasn't learned much table manners, but she knows that the two people opposite are gentle and elegant, and she can't be as vulgar as when she was wandering on the street.

After dinner, Zhou Qingwu took her measurements and prepared to make two new clothes for her. Meng Chuxi looked at the girl who was only one skinny, and discussed with her: "You don't have a name yet, so I have to call you by your name in the future. , mind if we get one for you?"

The child shook his head, "Yes."

Meng Chuxi thought for a while, pointed to herself and Zhou Qingwu, and said with a smile: "Do you have the surname of sister Qingwu or mine, well, if you have a surname you want, you can stay at our house in the future, okay? ?”

There was a glimmer of hope in the child's eyes, but seeing the two of them, she hesitated to make a decision. The little girl who was anxiously picking her nails asked Meng Chuxi anxiously: "I choose sister Qingwu, will you be angry, sister Chuxi?" ?”

Meng Chuxi was taken aback, then laughed, shook her head and said, "No, but why did you choose Sister Qingwu?"

Seeing that she was indeed not angry, the child said cautiously, "Listen to sister Qingwu."

Meng Chuxi was stunned for a moment, and Zhou Qingwu was also stunned, how did he come to this conclusion.

After a while, she burst into laughter: "Just because of this, how do you know that I listen to her? Obviously your sister Qingwu is more obedient, and she still calls me sister."

Zhou Qingwu blushed and quietly kicked Meng Chuxi. The child could see clearly, and then seeing Meng Chuxi smiling and pampering, he became more determined: "You like sister Qingwu, and, sister Qingwu can't speak, I will talk to you in the future." protect her."

She knows that what was originally an unfortunate experience will eventually become a reason for others to criticize you.Today when Zhou Qingwu was dressing her, someone next to her pointed and said that Zhou Qingwu was dumb, what a pity.

Meng Chuxi's heart burned when she heard that, but in fact, Meng Chuxi was rescued only because of intolerance and sympathy, and also because of love for the house.The child became more hostile, and Meng Chuxi was a little worried at first.

But when she brought her back to see her getting along with Zhou Qingwu, she realized that the child's hostility was not for hurting others, but just a protective shell.A person who can distinguish right from wrong, treats people who are kind to her softly, and expresses her gratitude is even more satisfying to her now.

"Okay, let's have sister Qingwu's surname Zhou, and call them Zhou Nian'an, which means everyone will be safe and sound in the future. What do you think, Qingwu? Is it suitable?" After finishing speaking, she asked the child again, "Is it okay to be called Nian'an?"

Both one big and one small thought seriously and then nodded together, which made Meng Chuxi laugh: "They're all pretty good."

"Nian'an, how old are you this year?"

Zhou Nian'an was a little dazed when she heard the new name. Someone gave her a name, and it was still a big name with a surname.She endured the soreness in her nose, and said softly: "It seems to be seven years old."

I don't know the name, I don't know the age, what happened to this child?

"Nian An can tell my sisters how you ended up in Chunfeng Building?"

Zhou Nian'an tensed up when she heard the words, but she couldn't suppress the resentment in her eyes, so she told them word by word in a suppressed voice.

She remembered that she used to live in Dayan with her parents. Her father was from a barbarian and her mother was from Dayan. The family had a small business. She couldn't remember what she did, but she only remembered that day many people rode horses He entered the village and killed many people, including her parents.Homes were looted, houses were burned, and children were taken away.

She was taken away by a little brother by accident, but she was lost and became helpless and became a beggar. At that time, she was only a few years old and couldn't survive, so she was picked up by a begging grandmother.She asked Yaya to take her to beg, and worked hard to support her.

The days are very hard, but there are people who protect them.But during Chinese New Year last year, my grandma accidentally bumped into a rich man, and was suddenly pushed down by the family servant and couldn't get up. She fell ill when she returned home. That winter was very cold. No matter how hard she tried to beg, she even risked her leg being broken. The risk of stealing food didn't make her survive until the second year. On New Year's Eve, her grandmother died in the ruined temple, and she was the only one left.

She is smart and can run, knowing that she looks different from ordinary people, so she has been intentionally unkempt, and finally survived for half a year without any danger.

Just two months ago, she met a couple who were inexplicably very kind to her. They said that they were suffering from the loss of their daughter just now, and that she had a voice like their daughter, so they were considerate in every possible way and always brought her food. Said he wanted to adopt her.

The little girl has many eyes, but how could she withstand the tenderness of two adults in such an environment, and followed her back home, before she was glad that she met a good man and finally had a home again, she was drugged and sold Arrived at the Spring Breeze Building in Qingyang Town.

When she spoke, she couldn't control herself at all, her tears flashed, her teeth were gritted, and she made no secret of her pain, resentment and hatred.

So when she was bought, she had a good impression of Zhou Qingwu, but she had always been hostile to Meng Chuxi, and she was afraid that she would fall into another hell.

Meng Chuxi and the two couldn't bear it. They are only seven years old. They have experienced life and death, tasted the ups and downs of life, and seen the dangers of so many people's hearts.So they didn't criticize her for her darkness and hatred that didn't match her age. No one can ask a child who has experienced so much to be gentle and kind.

She couldn't help but look at Zhou Qingwu again. She was glad that Zhou Qingwu still had a tile to cover his body at that time. Although there were many small people in Zhoujia Village, there were no shameless people who had lost their hearts.

Unable to hold back Zhou Qingwu's hand, Zhou Qingwu understood her meaning and glanced at her.

Then Meng Chuxi whispered to Zhou Nian'an: "This will not happen again in the future, as long as I am here, I will definitely not let Nian'an and Qingwu suffer any more."

Take good care of this child, otherwise this kind of resentment and darkness will erode her heart.
