Epigenetic

Chapter 7

In summer, it dawns early, and as soon as the sun shines, Zhu Weixing gets up from bed.When I left the room, my brother was still snoring in the lower berth.

The grandma who was cooking porridge was a little surprised to see him, MSI asked her and went into the bathroom to wash up.

He didn't sleep all night, but he was in good spirits. After tidying himself up, Zhu Weixing washed the dirty clothes piled up in the sink yesterday, and Zhu Weichen even changed them.

Zhu Weixing's hands are white and smooth, even tenderer than a little girl, not to mention rough work, I'm afraid I didn't even touch Yangchun water very much in the past, but now I'm scrubbing those dirty clothes with unfamiliar methods, half bending over to let him His head was congested with blood, and within a few minutes he had to straighten up and take a few breaths to avoid dizziness.There is no washing machine at home. Thinking of the old man's inflexible legs and feet, it is fine in summer, but I don't know how grandma used to wash the heavy clothes in winter. I wish MSI a little uncomfortable.

After I finished it, I took it to the corridor to hang it. I met a few neighbors who went to work. From the eyes they cast on me, I could know how close the neighbors were in the past. An old lady who peeled edamame was even more lukewarm and contemptuous. Disdain.

Zhu Weixing continued to dry the clothes, but there seemed to be some problems with the technology. Zhu Weichen's clothes, which were already too old and vulnerable, were torn into two new holes when they were hung, making it even more horrible.I wish MSI helpless.

Just annoyed, a few bangs exploded nearby.

Zhu Weixing was taken aback, and turned his head to look. In the corridor on the fourth floor of the opposite building, a boy was banging on the door impatiently. That location should be his own toilet.

The boy's appearance was the same as yesterday, with his upper body bare, his pants still loose without a belt, and he was pulling on a pair of flip flops, pawing his head with only a layer of green skin sleepily, muttering uncomfortably: "...open the door, open the door , are you alright, Miao Xiangxue!"

There was shouting and cursing from the toilet: "Hurry up, you big-headed ghost, my old lady just came in."

The scolded Jiang Yi didn't buy it, and still slammed the door: "You've been in there for an hour, have you fallen into the latrine, and if you don't come out, I'm going to shit in my pants! without!"

Their voices were not restrained because of the privacy of the content, and were spread to all directions in the alley through the semi-open-air balcony.

But unlike Zhu Weixing who felt embarrassed, everyone in Lingjia was calm about this, and they didn't look back when they went to and from get off work.

So Zhu Weixing's eyes looked so unusual, and the boy was keenly aware of it, and looked at him sideways.

Zhu Weixing didn't show it on the face, looked back and wanted to go back to the house, but they also heard scolding from the corridor.

"Which fool who killed a thousand knives threw rubbish in the corridor blocking the way, people don't walk!"

"You call him a fool, but he's not a fool. How much money can he make picking up trash now? You can make a fortune."

"Yes, they are much smarter than us, and they know that they can't keep their dirty things in their own home."

Zhu Weixing turned around following the sound, and saw two people kicking the sack that Zhu Weichen placed by the balcony yesterday to the stairs.Those things are actually not big, and the piled up there does not affect pedestrians, but they still feel an eyesore.

Zhu Weixing was stunned for a moment, and hurried forward to grab the bag firmly, and looked up at the two young women, who should have just come out of 403.

Perhaps because of his notoriety before, the other party and Zhu Weixing looked at each other and flinched. Seeing that he didn't say anything, he straightened up and snorted coldly, walking around him in disgust.

Zhu Weixing is reasonable, it is her fault to occupy the public area, but they also put away their apology for their rude words to their brother.He just silently wanted to bring things downstairs so as not to get in the way again.

Then someone called his name.

"Mis...Mis."

Zhu Weixing searched around and leaned out of the balcony.Aunt Jiao greeted him with one hand downstairs, and took a chubby little boy with the other.

Aunt Jiao said: "Weixing, did you hang those clothes to dry? You can't hang them directly, you have to use clips to hold them, otherwise the wind will blow them away, and your grandma will have to knock on someone's door to help them get them." return."

After Zhu Weixing listened, he could only clumsily follow Aunt Jiao's instructions to dry it step by step.The two of them were separated by the fourth floor, and they spoke one command and one action as if following a remote lecture, but the effect was still minimal.

"Forget it, I'll hang it for you after delivering Longlong. You don't need to take those scraps downstairs, I happened to pass by the mobile market, and let the second-hand goods collectors come to your house to collect them."

After Aunt Jiao finished speaking, she took her grandson and left.The little boy beside her who had been staring at Zhu Weixing couldn't help but smiled at him, and waved his hand shyly.

A very simple act, but it is the most sincere smile that Zhu Weixing has gotten these days, without questioning, sympathizing, or being overly cautious.He couldn't help reaching out and waving at the child, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

When the child was far away, Zhu Weixing turned around, only to find that the tall boy in the opposite building hadn't left at all, half leaning against the door with a cigarette that was almost burning to his buttocks, and looked over lazily.It was like watching a Liantai opera in front of his house, which was lame but free, and there were a lot of playing and singing songs, which barely passed his boring time.

Seeing Zhu Weixing's gaze, the boy raised his eyebrows at him cynically, and extinguished the butt of his cigarette on the concrete railing.

Zhu Weixing thought he had something to say, but before anyone could speak, the door behind the boy opened.

Miao Xiangxue came out from the inside, changed out of the big flowered pajamas and put on a floral dress, with a face with light make-up, she was very gorgeous and temperamental, she looked no more than 40 years old at most, it was hard to imagine that she would have such a big son, let alone It's hard to imagine that he and his son are screaming back and forth at the toilet door.

Miao Xiangxue slapped Jiang Yi on the head with the plastic fan in his hand, and said unhappily: "You are the one who talks to my old lady like that, urging me, urging my soul. Hurry up and go to the police station with me after breakfast."

The hand she extended was naturally dodged by Jiang Yi flexibly: "Tsk, no, I have something to do."

"What can you do? This lawsuit is my business alone? I'm not for your father, for you, or for my family. Think about it, how much money we can get if we win the lawsuit..."

The long series of non-stop nagging was directly interrupted by Jiang Yi's violent closing of the door.

"Stinky boy!!!"

Miao Xiangxue cursed bitterly, but she didn't really care about Jiang Yi, she stroked her temple hair, looked up at Zhu Weixing, and immediately laughed again.

"Grandma, good morning."

Zhu Weixing turned around and found that her grandma had walked outside the house, looking thoughtfully at her crumpled clothes to dry.

Hearing Miao Xiangxue's greeting, Grandma Zhu nodded politely.

"I just bought tofu flower. It's a new stall in the market. I'll give you some. It just so happens that your grandson is here. Let's try it together." Miao Xiangxue was very enthusiastic, and she could tell that she had a hot temper. For Zhu Weixing, she His attitude is somewhat different from others, and he didn't pay much attention to it.

Grandma Zhu refused: "No, we've already had breakfast, thank you."

"Oh, that's fine." Miao Xiangxue didn't say much, she readily agreed and left.

Staying behind, Grandma Zhu took another look at the clothes on the balcony and went back to the house.

Zhu Weixing, who was still hungry, followed her, and when she entered the door, she saw Zhu Weichen who came out in a hurry, and he quickly conveyed Aunt Jiao's proposal just now.

However, Zhu Weichen was worried about the waste products he piled up outside, and insisted on checking it himself. When passing by Zhu Weixing, he still showed nervousness and avoidance. It was not so much that he rejected Zhu Weixing, but that he was afraid of Zhu Weixing’s treatment of him. own dislike.

Zhu Weixing didn't immediately express his kindness too much. He didn't know his own character before, but now he is obviously not a person with a lot of tongue, he would rather express it step by step with some practical actions.

After last night, Zhu Weixing has made a rough plan for his future life. In his current situation, high standards and ambitions are not necessary, and pragmatism and prudence are the top priority.Not to mention anything else, he wished MSI that at least he wanted to be a person worthy of his family, friends, and himself.

Having made a decision in his heart, his face was still indifferent and calm. Seeing grandma holding a bowl of porridge, he walked over to help with a dish.

In fact, there are not many dishes, a stack of pickled melons, a stack of dried radishes, and three steamed yams.

Zhu Weixing put the biggest bowl on the opposite side and wanted to give it to his brother, but Zhu Weichenmen just took the bowl and picked up some vegetables at random, then squatted in the corner of the kitchen.

Seeing that Zhu Weixing was staring at the chopsticks that were not moving, grandma knocked on the bowl: "Eat it, don't worry about him, he's used to it."

I wish MSI endured the disobedience and quietly ate breakfast.

After eating, the scrap collector came, Zhu Weichen and grandma went out to hand over, when they came back, Zhu Weichen pinched an old ten-dollar sheet, his unnatural features were full of joy.

When grandma came back, she held the money, three bright red ones, walked to the table and placed them in front of Zhu Weixing.

I wish MSI did not know why.

Grandma said: "The police station just called. I need to ask a few words about your accident. You can buy some necessities for yourself on the way."

Zhu Weixing saw that the money didn't move, but grandma thought he thought it was too little: "That's all we have at home now, if it's not enough, I'll go to the bank to get it again."

The dense passbook flashed through his mind, and Zhu Weixing stood up hastily.

"I……"

He wanted to say no, he wanted to say that he would make money by himself.But the reality is that he has nothing now, doesn't understand the social environment, has no source of income, is self-reliant and works part-time but can't even afford a copy of his resume. He is not qualified to be polite to his grandma.

"I...that's enough." In the end, Zhu Weixing choked out this sentence, took three red notes, thought for a while, took out another one and returned it, "Two hundred is fine, not so much."

Grandma didn't show any politeness to him either. After taking back the hundred, she paused and said, "Go if you don't rush, wait until you feel better."

Zhu Weixing's heart softened: "It's okay, I'll go today."

The police station was not far away, grandma didn't stop him, Zhu Weichen was going out too, but grandma took care of him repeatedly and poured him a bottle of cold water,

Zhu Weichen carried a tattered canvas satchel on his back, carrying the water bottle given by his grandmother, and left in good spirits.He didn't go in the same direction as Zhu Weixing, but headed towards Tianlan Square, where there are high-end shopping malls, and there are many valuable things in the trash can.

Zhu Weixing looked at his brother's back, then at his usual grandma, and walked the other way without saying a word.
