green plum thirsty

Spring, the ninth day of the first month.

Zhu Wenyi took his younger brother's hand and walked out of the house.Mom took one last look into the house, locked the door and said in relief, "Okay, all the things have been moved."

Mother's tone was calm, but Zhu Wenyi could still hear the imperceptible joy mixed in it.She grasped her younger brother's hand nervously, then timidly turned her gaze to the man beside her mother.

A man is mother's new "husband". Zhu Wenyi didn't understand the meaning of this word before, but someone explained to her that it meant new father.Zhu Wenyi is a little afraid of his father, because his father always beats his mother when he is drunk.She wondered if the new dad was like that too.If it is, then she will stand up to protect her mother and brother.

The man asked Zhu Wenyi, "Are your hands cold? Wear them to warm them up."

The man took off the gloves, gave each of Zhu Wenyi and his younger brother one, and said, "Fortunately, I can hold both of you in one hand."

The younger brother let go of Zhu Wenyi, and hurriedly closed his two fleshy little hands together, slipping into the warm gloves.The man smiled and picked up his younger brother.The younger brother sat in the man's arms, laughing until he couldn't see his eyes.

"Is it warm, Xiao Wu?" Mom asked, because of her happy smile, there were a few more wrinkles in the corners of her eyes.My mother usually pays the most attention to maintenance, and I can't see a single wrinkle on her face, but Zhu Wenyi thinks that her mother is the most beautiful at this time.

Zhu Wukai smiled and said, "It's so warm!"

Mother took Zhu Wenyi's hand again and asked, "Where's Xiaowen?"

Zhu Wenyi held his mother with one hand, put the other hand in the new father's glove, and whispered: "Yes."

Mom said with a smile: "Now, let's go to the new home together!"

The quality of the cycling gloves was not very good, but the fingertips quickly warmed up, numb and itchy.

Really warm.

The original father passed away in an accident two years ago, and the mother supported the daughter with one hand and the son with the other, dragging the family of three through two years of difficulty, and now finally met someone who can help.

Mom took the time to describe how nice the new home was, and how friendly the new family members were. Even though Zhu Wenyi was trembling like a seesaw, the other end of the [-]% still fell on the anticipation side.

I heard that there are new sisters and younger brothers who can watch cartoons together; I heard that my grandparents are teachers in junior high and primary schools, and they are very educated; I heard that my new father likes the two siblings very much.

Zhu Wukai, who was only four years old, didn't understand anything, with big eyes blinking, holding his sister with one hand and putting the other in his mouth, watching the adults in front of him coming and going.

"... These are my parents, I have met them before, let's call them parents from now on... This is the eldest brother's daughter, Lin Lin, why are you running away?... The second brother and the second sister-in-law are rushing to work, so let's go first gone back……"

Zhu Wukai was ignorant and understood the word "Parents".Subconsciously, he grabbed his sister's hand tightly and said to her, "Sister, let's go home..."

Zhu Wenyi patted Zhu Wukai's head and said, "I can't go back, this is my new home."

Zhu Wukai nodded, and continued to put his fist into his mouth, but Zhu Wenyi forcibly took it out. "Unclean and unhygienic, take it out."

Zhu Wukai put down his hand obediently. "oh."

Counting the false age, Zhu Wenyi's age has just passed the double-digit mark, so it stands to reason that he doesn't understand anything.When she had a father, she was afraid that his father would suddenly make trouble and beat someone, and she was worried all day long; after her father died, her family's situation plummeted, and the rapidly deteriorating living conditions forced her to grow up rapidly, and by this time she was already very good at observing words and feelings.

She quietly and carefully observed the two old people in front of her. The old people had kind eyes and kind eyes, and there was a strong affinity in their smiles.

This reminded Zhu Wenyi of the neighbor's grandmother in the old house.The neighbor's grandmother often moves a small chair and sits in the yard to bask in the sun for a whole day. A tiger cat is curled up at the foot of the chair, lazily.Every time the neighbor's grandma saw her and her younger brother, she would hand over a big white rabbit toffee.

This toffee is sticky, and I don't know that it has been held in the hands of the neighbor's grandma for a long time, and it has melted a bit.Zhu Wukai didn’t like to eat it, but Zhu Wenyi knew that the neighbor’s grandmother bought it for the two of them specially—there was no second family of children in the yard, and the neighbor’s grandmother’s daughter and granddaughter were far away, and they only came back during the Chinese New Year. Take a look at her.

She knows that the neighbor's grandma is very boring, and she likes their siblings very much.So when her mother didn't come home, she always took her younger brother to eat.She knew instinctively who had good intentions.

She didn't understand at that time that the boredom of the neighbor's grandma was not just boredom, to be precise, it was the loneliness of being old and homeless at the end of her life, the little disappointment of the empty nest old man's inner collapse, which made her subconsciously get close to her little one. child.

This kind of loneliness and loneliness is inherited in one continuous line in the inheritance of human DNA, especially in the elderly.The old man in front of him looked at him like a neighbor's grandma.

Almost instantly, Zhu Wenyi believed that this grandma would treat him and his younger brother well, just like the neighbor's grandma.

Grandma bent down and asked Zhu Wenyi: "Do you want some chocolate?"

Do all adults only use food to coax children?But she and her younger brother have never eaten chocolate, only heard that it is very sweet.

The younger brother shook Zhu Wenyi's hand a few times, and put her hand in his mouth, obviously wanting to eat but not daring to speak.He does this every time, when he wants to ask Zhu Wenyi, he starts to bite her.

Zhu Wenyi glanced at her mother quietly, and after getting her mother's approval, she said instead of her younger brother: "I want to eat!"

Mom quickly said: "Call someone first, call grandma."

Zhu Wenyi was stunned for a moment, she was not willing to call.

Zhu Wukai bit her again.

Zhu Wenyi still couldn't call out—she had a grandma, so must a person have two grandmas?

Seeing that she didn't respond, Zhu Wukai decided to take a stand with his mouth, and immediately called out crisply: "Grandma!"

Zhu Wenyi hates that iron cannot be made into steel. This little brat, the neighbor's grandmother has fed him the big white rabbit toffee for so long, and he still refuses to remove the word "neighbor". Now just for the word "chocolate", can he abandon the principle?

Grandma laughed even harder, she turned around and called, "Lin Lin, come here, take your younger siblings to get chocolates!"

The mother blamed Zhu Wenyi, and her tone was a bit complaining: "Why is this child so ignorant that he won't even call you when asked."

Zhu Wenyi felt aggrieved. At home, her mother had never talked to herself like this. She never expected to scold herself like this when she came to the new home. Before, she said that the relatives in the new home were very good.

Grandma stopped her and said, "I'm not familiar with me, it's inevitable, don't just scold the children, you have to understand them. Xiaowen, don't be afraid, don't bark if you don't want to, want to eat chocolate?"

A girl walked into the room, probably "Lin Lin" who came at the summons.

Lin Lin was a little taller than herself, wearing a lace skirt, much prettier than her, but also...much dirtier than her.

The lace skirt is covered with mud, which shows that the owner is not particular at all.

Lin Lin came over, staring fiercely, and said, "How many chocolates?"

"Call someone, call sister." Mom asked again.

Grandma said: "Lin Lin doesn't look like a big sister at all, maybe Xiaowen will have to take care of her in the future. Lin Lin, quickly give five to each of your siblings, and you can eat three."

Lin Lin immediately turned around and left. The new father patted Zhu Wenyi on the shoulder and said, "Xiaowen, keep up. Grandma saves up a lot of snacks. You will know later. This opportunity is rare. Let's eat first."

Grandma smiled.

Zhu Wenyi subconsciously took his younger brother and followed Lin Lin to another room.She didn't want to stay there any longer, and being forced by her mother to call her grandma or grandpa, she might as well play with her peers.

"Lin Lin, what's your name?" Zhu Wenyi said.

"Don't call me Lin Lin." The girl said impatiently.

"Uh... sister?" Zhu Wenyi said.

"No!" Lin Lin retorted loudly, and then accelerated her pace.

Zhu Wenyi had no problem keeping up with Lin Lin, but his younger brother's oil bottle greatly restricted his speed. Zhu Wenyi could only follow Lin Lin with his eyes while pulling his younger brother's arm.

Lin Lin soon arrived at a certain room, climbed onto the bed with ease, and took down a box of things from the top of the bookcase standing beside the bed.

"One, two, three, four, five... one, two, three, four, five... one, two, three..." After counting thirteen chocolates, she put the box back on the original place, and then jumped down steadily.

"Here, yours, yours." Lin Lin picked and picked out a few with different packaging colors for herself, and distributed the rest to the siblings in turn.

Lin Lin's expression was unruly, and he divided the chocolate without hesitation, as if he didn't pay much attention to this rare candy.She always looked unhappy, and she didn't even look at Zhu Wenyi and Zhu Wukai.

The younger brother was very happy and said, "Is the chocolate delicious?"

Lin Lin quickly replied, "It's delicious."

Brother said: "One, two, three, four, five... only five..."

"There are not many more, if you take grandma again, you will be punished to kneel down." Lin Lin said.

Zhu Wenyi hesitated for a moment, then gave the chocolate in his hand to his younger brother, and said, "How many do you have now?"

The younger brother smiled and counted how many chocolates he had with his fingers.When the fingers opened one by one, the chocolate fell to the ground again.

Zhu Wenyi picked up the chocolates and said, "I'll hold it for you, and you count."

The younger brother looked at the chocolate with a frown, and said after a while: "I won't count, I want to eat it!"

As a high-quality older sister, Zhu Wenyi naturally worked hard to help her younger brother unpack the package.

Unexpectedly, he put it in his mouth, and Zhu Wukai's expression changed.

"Is it delicious?" Lin Lin asked.

Zhu Wukai hesitated for a moment and said, "...delicious."

Zhu Wenyi was a little puzzled, because Zhu Wukai's answers were always straightforward. If it tastes good, it tastes good, but if it doesn't taste good, it doesn't taste good. He has never been so hesitant when it comes to food.

In the next second, Zhu Wukai asked her: "Sister, is chocolate salty?"

Eh……?

Zhu Wenyi had never eaten chocolate, so she wasn't sure if there was such a term as "salty chocolate". She looked back at Lin Lin, wanting to ask him for confirmation.

Lin Lin raised the corners of her mouth, smiled maliciously, and then ran away quickly.

Uh...salted chocolate?
