39,

On September [-]th eight years ago, the four of An Ran took the first family portrait of this small family.Later this became a tradition and has continued to this day, but there have been some changes in the number of people.For example, four years ago, there was an extra Li Feng on the left side of the family portrait. This year, Fang Shifang will join a self-invited photo...

The cause of the incident was during a break in the shop,? An Ran and the old man suggested that this year's family portrait be postponed until next week when Xi Zhaowu's school is on holiday.Unexpectedly, such a coincidence, Fang Shifang also came up to make up the number.But to be honest, for any protagonist in the original plot, even if it is the sand sculpture version of the boss, he doesn't want to overlap too much.

"It's still early,? I'll talk to Wuzi when I go back tonight." An Ran excused herself, but she still waited until the end of the school's evening self-study at 10:30, and sent a text message to Xi Zhaowu.

Not long after, Xi Zhaowu's call came back.The two of them have always run family accounts, as long as they leave the province, calls are free.

Xi Zhaowu: "Don't bother with him, he'll probably be back when I'm on vacation."

"...Do you have a good relationship in Tibet?" An Ran turned on the loudspeaker, and took a shower in her bedroom, "By the way,? Teacher Xiao An mentioned the special class to me a few days ago."

While chatting, An Ran glanced at various leaflets on the bedside table. He asked his grandfather and Ms. Xi Liu'an herself, but they didn't seem to be able to give any outstanding suggestions.

An Ran: "I guess there's really no hope for the culture class. Did she tell you about her ideals?"

The phone was quiet for a while, there was some wind noise, Xi Zhaowu seemed to be running in the playground, and when he spoke again, his voice was a little hurried: "Does it count as opening a supermarket?"

"..." Ms. Xi Lu'an's wish when she was a child was to marry someone who opened a canteen. Now that she has grown up a little bit and her mind has become enlightened, it is time to discover the truth that women are inherently strong.

"When I go back, I'll take a day and a half off next week. Let's take her to various specialty classes." Xi Zhaowu said, changing the subject and asking, "What about you?"

"What about 'what about me'?" An Ran was a little dazed, holding her pajamas in one hand and her phone in the other, "I'm going to take a shower, you should go back to bed quickly!"

"Wait a moment,"

The tranquility from Xi Chaowu's side spread to An Ran's side through the phone, the room was quiet, and even the breathing of the boy on the phone was very clear.

This made An Ran a little unaccustomed to it. He listened to the phone with another ear, feeling a little itchy in his heart for no reason.

Xi Zhaowu: "Brother, I miss you a little bit."

As soon as the words fell, An Ran immediately laughed out loud.When Xi Chaowu was young, he almost never said these words. He was a little Baba, no matter what mood he was in, he would just keep a straight face and look at you with a pair of dark eyes.Unexpectedly, this person is getting older, but he likes to act like a baby more and more. An Ran said that he is still very useful: "Then I will visit you on Saturday night, and bring you some food by the way?"

Xi Chaowu does not need to go to evening self-study on Saturday night. Many parents in the school will choose that day to give their children extra meals.But he can't enter the school, it's like visiting a prison through the iron fence, An Ran doesn't like it very much, but the old prince sent him off several times.

However, on Saturday, An Ran was unable to deliver meals because of the theft of customers in the store.When the two met again, it was already Xi Zhaowu's holiday Saturday.

That day, Xi Chaowu went straight to the store after school.I arrived around [-]:[-] p.m., when the shop door had already hung a "rest" board.He went straight up to the second floor, and happened to bump into someone in the shop who was having dinner.In the box, there was a large table of people, besides the clerk and Fang Shifang, there was also a young woman he had never seen before.She was sitting with An Ran, covering her mouth with a blushing smile.

"Don't talk nonsense, Teacher An is here to make a home visit!" An Ran turned her back to Xi Zhaowu, and she didn't know whether she had been drinking or something else, her cheeks were flushed, "Mr. An, don't mind, let's eat vegetables. , this pickled fish—"

Before An Ran finished speaking, she was interrupted by Xi Liu'an's bouncing "brother".He turned his head to look over, and the person in charge of the facade of their house was poking at the door like a demon.

"Why did you come back?"

Xi Zhaowu didn't respond for a while, until An Ran's voice sounded again, irritating his fragile nerves at the moment: "I can't come back?"

"...Who made you angry?" An Ran took off the child's schoolbag, pulled the person to sit beside her, "Xiao Wu, this is Xiao An's teacher, called 'Mr. An'——Teacher An, This is my family, Xi Chaowu, who is a sophomore in No. [-] Middle School!"

Xi Zhaowu didn't have the slightest impression of how the meal was.His ears were full of everyone's flattery to that female teacher, and all kinds of matchmaking between men and women during blind dates.

He held back his stomach and wanted to say something, but when he saw An Nan's delicate woman's face, he was a little timid.

I am like a child.

Xi Zhaowu thought silently: On this table, there may not be any essential difference between him and Xi Liu'an.

"Your teacher," Xi Zhaowu swallowed, and then asked, "Why did your teacher know An Ran?"

"Ah?" Ms. Xi Liu'an was holding the Coke can, feeling a little guilty, "I was late once, and my elder brother sent me to school! But Teacher An is very good, she didn't say anything about me or about my elder brother!"

Xi Zhaowu: "...Is she fine?"

"Yeah, she's the best teacher I've ever met!" Because she's the only one who hasn't hit her before, you sister my palm! ! !

Xi Lu'an rubbed her brother's arm, trying to distract Xi Zhaowu from inquiring about her school affairs by acting like a baby, "Brother, I'm a little sleepy. Do you want to carry Xiaoan home?"

When An Ran withdrew from the matchmaker's army, Xi Zhaowu had already led Lu'an downstairs.He stared blankly at the tall and thin young man with his back on his back, walking further and further away.

"Why didn't you call me, kid? It's so hot outside!" An Ran took out the car keys, but was grabbed by the old prince, "Grandpa?"

"Go and send Teacher An back and buy some drinks for someone on the way!" The old prince's voice was not loud, but he was extremely firm. "I heard people say that little girls like to drink ice milk tea. You can buy some for someone. Go back and deliver it to someone's door." , you are only allowed to come back when someone enters the house!"

"..." An Ran felt that the old man was thinking too much, "Grandpa, she is—"

"Anran!" After so many years, Anran had the sense of a little stick coming out of the mountain again.So, I instinctively stopped my calf and listened patiently, "You are not too young anymore. When I was your age, I used to be in the cornfield with your grandma! I will teach the child in the future, please hurry up and deal with the major events in your life! "

An Ran was stunned for a moment, and said, "Bao Mi Di? Grandpa, you are young and play wild—oh, hit me on the head!"

"I'll hit you on the head! I'll open a ladle for you, you dare to make fun of me!" The old prince gave him a blank look, as if to say that the little wooden stick is ready to slap you anytime!

Afterwards, An Ran still followed the old prince's wishes, not only drove Teacher An back, but also bought a whole set of taro ball pearl milk tea: "My grandfather asked me to buy it, saying that it is to thank you for taking care of my children."

An Nan stood by the car and smiled slightly: "Is it just taking care of you? I thought there was something else~"

After An Ran listened, she felt that the milk tea in her hand had inexplicably added a thousand catties.The two stood in front of An Nan's house, and the unknown wildflowers in the green belt were blooming brilliantly, swaying shyly with the wind, like the downcast face of the girl opposite.

To be honest, An Nan really fits An Ran's definition of "wife", but if you say you like her, that's really not enough.

"People's teachers can't accept things from parents," An Nan pointed to the milk tea in his hand, and said playfully, "If you have a better reason, maybe I can convince our principal!"

An Ran's hands clenched tightly, he thought a lot for a moment, but he didn't think through anything thoroughly.Just as he opened his mouth to speak, his mobile phone rang through the open car window.

The ringtone is also a very special setting. He secretly recorded Xi Zhaowu's crying voice when he was a child.

"Sorry, it's my Wuzi's, I'll pick it up!" An Ran said, "He may not have the key with him."

When the phone was picked up, it was Xi Liu'an's voice: "Brother, heck... Grandpa hit brother, woo, hit brother, wow..."

The little girl was crying so heartbreakingly on the other end of the phone that she couldn't complete half a sentence.An Ran's head was sweating anxiously, and she finally figured it out: "You go to the cake shop and sit down for a while, I'll be right back. Take a bite, don't cry, be good~"

He hung up the phone, but he didn't understand: Why did the old man push him away to chase the girl, but then slipped back to beat the child by himself?On such a hot day, Xi Liu'an, a little girl, was still locked out of the door!

"Something happened at home..." An Ran stood by the car door, a little anxious and embarrassed, stretched out the milk tea in her hand, and said, "Teacher An, I, I really have to go back!"

"It's okay, slow down on the way back!" An Nan finally accepted the cup of milk tea, it was like a signal to tell An Ran——? I can still wait for you.

Many, many years later, An Ran recalled this afternoon while the old prince was nagging.He didn't even have the heart to tell the old man, if you hadn't insisted on beating the child that day, the thing you've been thinking about, maybe it would have come true!

At this moment, Wang Changlai didn't know at all that this was the first time he hit Xi Zhaowu, the precious gold bump, and he hit hard and felt uncomfortable.But looking at the brat's expression of "a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water", he wanted to soften his hand to release the water, but he tried harder.

"Are you trying to piss me off?!"

"No," Xi Zhaowu felt distressed, Grandpa is not as healthy as before.Sometimes the weather is slightly cloudy, and the 70-year-old man always suffers from bone pain.The old man hit him with a clothes hanger, every time he hit him hard and hard, but when he looked at him, there were some tears in his eyes.

Xi Zhaowu felt that he had failed, as if he had stepped into a wrong circle.

"Mist cub," the old prince's voice was full of exhaustion, and he looked at the child kneeling on the ground.Xi Zhaowu has grown up, when did his baby-fat little face become sharp and angular?

He stopped moving, reached out to wipe away the tears on Sun's face, restrained his panting, and said, "Grandpa doesn't care if you like men or women, really, Grandpa met before when he was a soldier. Two people are good, it depends on two people Your own. But An Ran can’t do it, he’s your big brother, are you going to lead him to evil?”

Xi Zhaowu didn't make a sound, and stared down at the broken family portrait on the ground, which was taken the year before last.In the photo, the four people even have the same smile on the corners of their mouths, they look like a family.

The old prince: "Your elder brother stopped going to school at the age of 16 because of you! To raise you, to raise Liu'an, have you stayed in the kitchen all day? And you were not in good health before, and he hugged you all night. Xiao Liu'an mischievously broke the head of someone else's child. He is half a boy, and he is so shameless that he apologizes...Wuzai, you have to tell him that he has raised the wrong person! He is a pervert, no Raising a younger brother and sister for myself is enough to raise a child bride-in-law who has no ambitions?"

Xi Zhaowu: "Then, what if he likes me too?"

"Of course he likes you, and he still loves you very much!" The old prince broke Xi Zhaowu's last illusion, "Because you are his younger brother, you and Lu'an are no different in his heart. Are you planning to use your younger brother's identity to Persecute him, make him miss you! Do you have to fight to see if he has to get along with you because he loves his brother?"

Xi Zhaowu thought so. Although he was not ashamed, this method was once and for all.He even wanted to type a line when the plan was implemented: If you are not with me, you will lose me forever!

He knew that An Ran was reluctant, and he dared to bet that he would win.What kind of conscience does a person want, I guarantee that I will treat him well for the rest of my life!What conscience do people need for what they want!

Xi Chaowu shouted in his heart, but tears rolled down his face, guilt and shame were clearly picked out by the old prince and smashed on his face.

The old prince wiped his nose vigorously, cleared his voice and said, "Grandpa, baby, you have been treating your elder brother really badly for so many years. Just be a grandpa and regret it now, and want to make up for him. Can you help me?" Grandpa, don't force him, don't, don't make him feel sad in life, okay?"

It seems that An Ran shouldn't have to bear the crime of being coveted by her brother who was brought up in pain.Xi Chaowu hugged his grandfather's thigh with trembling hands, and burst into tears, which even surprised him.

"Old prince, open the door! Xi Chaowu, what's wrong? Brother is back, hurry up..." An Ran rushed home, and before reaching the corridor entrance, she picked up a crying Xi Liu'an.As soon as he entered the house, he heard the mournful cries inside the house, and he felt flustered and angry. He had never heard Xi Zhaowu's cries. In his impression, even if the child cried, it was so quiet.

"Batt," the door opened.

An Ran didn't expect that the old prince who opened the door also had red eyes, and the old man was still holding the hanger in his hand, looking at him like he was extremely ashamed.

"Why did you beat the child, and you cried yourself first?" An Ran said so embarrassingly, she got into the house, but the child was not in the living room, and a photo frame was broken on the floor, "Look at you scaring Ms. Xi Liu'an, beat her brother, hurry up Comfort, comfort!"

An Ran was dying of anxiety, went back to the room and found the spare key that had not been used for thousands of years, turned around and smashed open the door of Xi Zhaowu's room.

The curtains in the room were drawn tightly, and on the dark north bed, there was a big pitiful one curled up.

"Hey, did our baby really cry just now?" An Ran locked the door behind her and strolled to bed, "Let me see, where did Grandpa hit you?"

"Ass! Do you want to see it?" Xi Chaowu slid into the quilt, and spoke aggressively in a small nasal voice after crying, it was so cute!

An Ran's little heart was hit in an instant, he thought that if the child could still joke with him, it meant that the beating was not hard enough!So, together with Xi Zhaowu, shrink back and roll into the bed: "It depends, when our baby got injections when we were young, it was my pants that I took off!"

"Oh, I'm afraid you'll feel inferior!" Xi Zhaowu's voice was very vague, dry and heavy as if a jack had been stuffed in his throat.But at the moment, An Ran didn't pay much attention to it, she just thought it was caused by crying, "After all, I took it out now, it's bigger than you!!! Go away, I'm so hot, I want to sleep!"

An Ran thinks that Xi Chaowu is good at everything, but he is too confident!It was as if he had never seen the days when the little monk was a child.But as a parent, he has to take care of the child's soul, so he generously ignored the child's back, and said, "Success, Brother Wu is awesome! Just lift the quilt when you are hot, and I will pat you to sleep for a while." ..."

The author has something to say: An Ran:......Today, I look like a fool! ! !

Xi Chaowu: The grievance is so hot and so big! ! !
