The neighbor is my little daughter-in-law

The atmosphere in the room was silent and awkward. When Xu Zhen came in with milk in his hand, he keenly felt the atmosphere in the room. He gave the milk in his hand to the child, and then pulled the corner of his mother's clothes tentatively and whispered: "Mom, what's the matter?"

Xu's mother turned her back to her son for a long time, then suddenly grabbed the list on the table and went downstairs with heavy steps. Xu Zhen looked around blankly, not knowing what happened.

Mother Xu held herself to death that day, but in the end she went downstairs to pay the fee. She was angry, but she still couldn't bear to be angry with the child's life. She knew that if she didn't pay the money, then Zheng Yuanrong would handle it right away. During the discharge procedure, she tried to comfort herself, it was nothing, she was looking at Xiao Lu Yan's face, it had nothing to do with others, as long as she had a clear conscience.

But I still felt aggrieved and depressed. When Father Xu came back, Mother Xu, who has always been straightforward, blushed in his arms: "I don't understand how people can be so cruel and evil? She doesn't treat the child well, and she doesn't allow others to treat the child. Well, what happened to Yanyan, yes, our family is responsible, and I didn't want to shirk it. I spent money and trouble, and finally said that I had ulterior motives. What can I do? If Yanyan was a girl, she could still say I raised a child bride-in-law for us, but I have a boy, what can I do for him?"

Xu's father has been married for so many years, the first time he saw his daughter-in-law's eyes reddened, she curled up in his arms and complained pitifully, her heart ached so badly that she didn't have time to think about anything, so she hugged, comforted and accompanied Xu's mother to vent her anger Wronged.

Xu's mother vented for a long time, and finally burst into tears in Xu's father's arms angrily: "I don't care about it, can't I? I'll take care of us and let's take care of it. I don't care about other people's children. It's thankless. And Xu Zhen, their teacher Wang said that many students in their class have started to supplement their English. Let’s also report to Xu Zhen, including English, mental arithmetic, swimming, painting, and violin. I don’t think he has time to play. .”

Xu's father frowned, suppressing emotions and being angry is not a good way to solve the problem, but obviously Xu's mother would not listen to any persuasion and rational analysis at this time.

So Dad Xu thought about it and got up to cook a pot of beef noodles in clear soup. In the evening, his son and his wife had a quarrel over whether they could play with his brother in the future. Obviously, his son lost and locked himself in the house for dinner. Did not eat either.The daughter-in-law must not have eaten well either.

In the middle of the night, the cry of a child came from the next door. The not-so-thick brick wall was not soundproof, and the clear cry came along with the repeated "I want my mother and my brother".

Xu's mother closed her eyes and breathed evenly, as if she was asleep, but her frequent turning movements still exposed her emotions.

Early the next morning, when Xu Zhen asked for egg custard, Xu's mother didn't say anything, but steamed a portion in a small stainless steel bowl specially designed for Xiao Luyan. Close one eye.

Xu's mother didn't tell little Xu Zhen about him and Zheng Yuanrong, and she didn't stop Xu Zhen from looking for Lu Yan, but she did what she said and enrolled Xu Zhen in two classes, one English, one Go, English one, three five, and Go Two four six, seamless connection.

Little Xu Zhen spent less time playing with Lu Yan. Little Lu Yan didn't know what was going on, but when they saw Xu Zhen again, they were still very affectionate: "Brother, brother" yelled, and saw Xu's mother stretching her little arms for a hug.Touching the wound on his forehead let Xu's mother blow it, twisting and acting like a baby in her arms.

Mother Xu was hugged by such a small arm, and her heart, which was not hard at first, was softened into a puddle of water. The conflict between adults, what does a child know.What's the point of being angry with a child.

Ever since the child broke his head, Zheng Yuanrong went to the kindergarten to pick up Yanyan on time every day without knowing what to think. Mother Xu was relieved and at the same time felt a little bit disappointed and guilty.

Now the child is as close to her as ever, which makes her feel a lot softer.

Mother Xu kissed his little face and put the child down: "Go and play with brother."

Xu's mother collected the rain gear, went into the house to cook, and when it was ready, she hurriedly put on the rain gear and went out to deliver food to Xu's father. It has been raining continuously this year, and I haven't seen the sun for more than a week. The safety water level was about to be broken, and the town organized party members and cadres to go to the front line to fight the flood. Father Xu was a party member and a cadre, so he was naturally on the list.

Xu's father can't go home to eat, so Xu's mother can only run back and forth. She carried the lunch box and told Xu Zhen: "Frame frame, mother will deliver food to your father. Don't play with your brother for too long. Do your homework quickly, and I will give you food in the pot." Save the meal, you eat it yourself, if mom comes back late, you go to bed first and lock the door, you know?"

Xu Zhen nodded quickly. He is ten years old and has a lot of sense. He also intimately told Xu's mother: "Mom, don't worry, I can take care of myself, and you should also be careful. Let Dad pay attention to safety."

Although Xu's mother didn't say what happened last time, Xu's father later analyzed the relationship between the two families and their respective responsibilities, and told him that although ten years old is not an adult, he is already an older child. He is responsible for what he does, and he is not responsible for his actions now, so his mother has been wronged for him.

Little Xu Zhen didn't understand what he heard, but when he went to play with Lu Yan, he already knew that he had to say hello to Zheng Yuanrong first, because his younger brother is not a child of their family, just like when someone wants to play with him, he has to tell his mother, his mother agrees Only then will it work.He hugged Xiao Luyan and shouted at the door: "Auntie, I'll take Yanyan home to play for a while, and send it back before going to bed."

Zheng Yuanrong responded in the room.

Xu Zhen took the child back home. As Xu's mother said, the rain gradually became stronger and accompanied by rumbling thunder. Xu Zhen lay on the window and watched for a while.Xu's mother hasn't come back yet, it's almost ten o'clock, the child is so sleepy that he keeps rubbing his eyes, dragging him to the bedside: "Sleep, brother sleep!"

Xu Zhen hesitated for a while, picked up the child, patted him on the back and coaxed him: "Well, Yan Yan is sleepy, brother hugs him, go to sleep!"

The child was so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open, so he hugged his brother in his arms: "My brother sleeps too, let's sleep together!"

Xu Zhen waited for the child to fall asleep, and carried him to the next door.

At eleven o'clock, Xu Zhen couldn't hold on anymore, left the door for Xu's mother, and climbed into bed by herself, and soon fell asleep with the rumbling thunder.

I don't know what time, Xu Zhen woke up, the room was pitch dark, Xu Zhen yelled "Mom" twice, but no one answered, Xu's mother hadn't come back yet, Xu Zhen was a little scared, always felt that something was moving at the end of the bed, Xu Zhen Backed away calmly, staring at it without blinking, just when a flash of lightning slid past outside, Xu Zhen suddenly widened his eyes, lifted the quilt, jumped out of the bed and picked up the little thing: "Brother, what are you doing?" coming?"
