Not bad for money and Grandet

"What?" Luo Zizhao was taken aback, "She wants to take Ah Hua away? Then where is she now?"

"I don't know, I was driven away."

"No, I mean where does she live now?" Luo Zizhao asked.

"Fujian. She married an old man. The old man has several children. He probably can't have children or doesn't plan to have one. So she wants to bring Ah Hua there, and probably wants to leave a son by her side for the elderly."

"What about you?" Luo Zizhao asked.

"Us? I'm an adult, and it's no longer her responsibility. Ah Hui is also an adult, so I might not listen to her. Ah Hua is the youngest, so she might find it easier to obey." Kang Jiayin shrugged at this point.

Luo Zizhao said, "Why does she think Ah Hua will follow her?"

"It's rich."

"Then are you going to tell Ah Hua?"

Kang Jiayin sighed and remained silent for a while before saying, "Tell him, let Ah Hua make his own decision, this is his life, he chooses it himself."

Luo Zizhao said, "I don't think Ah Hua might be willing to go."

Kang Jiayin smiled wryly, but didn't speak, it could be seen that he was extremely depressed.Luo Zizhao could also imagine that when they needed her the most, she ran away gracefully. Now that their life has gradually stabilized, the brothers and sisters help each other and love each other, work together to improve their lives, and she comes back again, bringing everyone together Take the bills, say to take care of them, and even separate them.But they never thought that their brother and sister had already been weaned psychologically, and they no longer needed her care.

Kang Jiayin started making noodles, while Luo Zizhao continued to drive oysters.The atmosphere in the room was dull and gloomy. Even though today was the beginning of the new year, everything should have a good start, but it was shrouded by this sudden shadow, which inevitably made people feel short of breath.

"Ah!" The crowbar in Luo Zizhao's hand was misaligned, it was inserted sideways, and it hit his finger. The index finger of his left hand was pierced, and blood burst out immediately.

Kang Jiayin was meeting with each other, when he heard the movement, he quickly put down the work in his hand: "What's wrong? Did you hurt your hand?"

Luo Zizhao threw away the crowbar, squeezed his fingers, gasped and said, "I accidentally poked my hand."

Kang Jiayin quickly grabbed his hand and put it under the faucet to rinse: "Does it hurt?"

"A little bit." Luo Zizhao felt a little embarrassed. He told himself to be more careful, but he still made a mistake.

Kang Jiayin let go of his hand and said, "Wash your hands with hand sanitizer. Don't pry the oysters. I'll come by myself later. I'll find you a band-aid."

Luo Zizhao washed his hands well, and Kang Jiayin had already dug out the first aid kit: "Wipe your hands, don't get too wet."

Luo Zizhao wiped his hands clean: "I'll do it myself."

Kang Jiayin ignored him: "Sit down and give me your hand."

Luo Zizhao sat on the sofa, and Kang Jiayin squatted in front of him, took out a cotton swab to gently absorb the blood oozing from the wound, and then twisted off the alcohol: "It hurts a bit, bear with it."

Luo Zizhao stretched out his hand, looked at Kang Jiayin with lowered eyes, pursed his lips and treated his wound seriously, thinking about the troubles he encountered today, and adding trouble to him, he was not only a little annoyed, but said, "I'm sorry."

Kang Jiayin looked up at him unexpectedly: "Why do you say that?"

"I'm so useless, I don't even know how to open an oyster." Luo Zizhao said angrily.

Kang Jiayin said: "No one is born to do things. Experience is accumulated through failure." He applied the cotton swab soaked in alcohol to the wound, and Luo Zizhao subconsciously recycled it in pain, but he caught him. The fingers are slender and fair, with distinct knuckles. They are hands that have never worked before. Such beautiful hands are most suitable for being pampered and appreciated by others, but today they were heroically injured while helping themselves. Kang Jiayin felt a little guilty.

He carefully sterilized it with alcohol, then tore off a band-aid, and carefully helped to stick it: "Okay, don't open the oysters, I will do it myself later."

"I can still do it, so be careful this time." Luo Zizhao said.

"No, this bandage is not waterproof." Kang Jiayin put the things away, put them in a drawer, got up and went back to the kitchen to continue kneading noodles.

Luo Zizhao took out his mobile phone, but couldn't help looking into the kitchen, and finally got up and went to the kitchen, standing aside and watching Kang Jiayin work.When Kang Jiayin worked, he was very meticulous and conscientious, and his efficiency was extremely high. He rarely did wasted work. Luo Zizhao watched the scattered flour in the basin gradually turn into a smooth dough, as if he was making a work of art.When he was working, he was very focused and his eyes were downcast. Luo Zizhao couldn't help but think that serious people are the prettiest, and Kang Jiayin who is serious is the most handsome. He couldn't help but draw his eyes to look at his face .

After kneading the noodles, Kang Jiayin raised his head to look at Luo Zizhao, who hurriedly withdrew his gaze, with an uncomfortable expression on his face, Kang Jiayin said, "Wake up first, I'll go to stew the beef brisket first. Ah Hui and Ah Hua are coming back soon. Let's not talk to them about it for now, and I'll talk to them after dinner."

"Oh, good." Luo Zizhao nodded. He probably was afraid of spoiling everyone's appetite for dinner. The mother who had disappeared for four or five years came back. It was impossible for the younger sister and brother not to be shocked, so how could they even think about eating.

Not long after, Kang Jiahui and Kang Jiahua came back. Seeing that Luo Zizhao was also in the kitchen, they hurried over to help. Kang Jiahui asked, "Brother, what delicious food do you make?"

Kang Jiayin said: "I'm back, let's open all the oysters first."

"Didn't you eat oysters at noon? Do you eat them again at night?" Kang Jiahua asked unexpectedly.

Kang Jiayin is making stewed beef brisket with tomatoes: "Don't eat it, it's used to make buns. Let's eat tomato beef brisket noodles tonight."

"Beef brisket noodles? Great! I love it!" Kang Jiahua slobbered.

Kang Jiahui made fun of her younger brother: "Is there anything you don't like? You like cow shit and dog shit."

"Get lost! You only eat bullshit and shit!" Kang Jiahua snapped back.

Kang Jiayin wanted to laugh when he heard the quarrel between his younger siblings, but his nose became sour first. Will there be such excitement in the future?

It was the first time Luo Zizhao saw someone make buns, he was very curious and wanted to play, but was stopped by Kang Jiayin, just let him wait to eat.There are leek and oyster fillings and pork and cabbage fillings for the buns, with pork and cabbage fillings being the main ones.Both Kang Jiayin and Kang Jiahui were wrapped up very nicely, but Kang Jiahua was a bit of a mess.He took the dough and wrapped it up and down, but he still couldn't wrap the buns properly. In the end, he had to use a bigger dough to wrap the previous dough, which was twice as big as his brothers and sisters. He was quite beautiful. The euphemistic name is: "This is a lucky bag, whoever eats it will be the most blessed."

Kang Jiahui smiled and said, "Then I'll let you eat it, we won't eat it."

Luo Zizhao laughed, that bun has thick skin and small stuffing, it's no wonder it tastes delicious.

Kang Jiahua said: "Brother Zhao, don't laugh, I'll make a lucky bag for you too, we are blessed to share!"

Luo Zizhao originally wanted to refuse, but he changed his words: "Okay, don't just cover for me, cover for your brother and sister, we have the same blessings and share the same hardships."

Kang Jiayin looked up at Luo Zizhao across the table, then lowered his eyes again.

After making the buns, Luo Zizhao said, "There is no stuffing left, there is only one piece of dough left."

Kang Jiayin said, "This is what I'm going to eat tonight."

Luo Zizhao said in surprise, "Handmade noodles?"

Kang Jiayin didn't speak. He put the wrapped buns in the steamer and started to steam. The beef brisket stewed on the stove was almost ready. He tasted it, added some salt, and then put out the tomato beef brisket.I started kneading the dough, and actually made handmade noodles.

When eating the noodles, the buns were steamed, and the room was full of fragrance. Luo Zizhao felt that this was the taste of happiness. If it wasn't for the episode in the afternoon, it would be more perfect.

Tomato beef brisket noodles, juicy and fresh meat, noodles are strong, Luo Zizhao ate the noodles, sighed contentedly: "It's so delicious, but it's a pity that the work is complicated, so I can't eat it often." Today is a holiday, and no one else is here. I made noodles. If I was in class, how could I eat this? The tomato beef brisket was stewed for two hours. How could I have so much time in class.

Kang Jiayin said: "I will do it later when I have time."

After dinner, tidy up the kitchen.Kang Jiahui and Kang Jiahua were going to study, Kang Jiayin said: "Ah Hui, Ah Hua, wait a minute, I have something to tell you."

As soon as Luo Zizhao heard it, he knew that he was going to explain to his younger siblings. He looked at Kang Jiayin, wondering if he needed to avoid it, but Kang Jiayin didn't look at him, so he sat on the sofa.

"Brother, what's the matter?" Kang Jiahua was fooling around, this is the Tianjin dialect he learned from a classmate from Tianjin in his class.

"Come here, sit here." Kang Jiayin pointed to the sofa beside him.

Both Jiahui and Jiahua came over, and Kang Jiahua sat next to Luo Zizhao, looking up at his younger siblings. Kang Jiayin looked up at his younger siblings, licked his lips and said, "Mom came here today." For him, his mother is no longer the mother he wanted, and this place is no longer his mother's home.

Both Jiahui and Jiahua were stunned. The term mother was both familiar and unfamiliar to them. After a while, Jiahua said excitedly, "Really? Mom is back? What about her?"

Jia Hui's eyes were a little moist: "What is she doing back?"

Kang Jiayin said hoarsely, "I drove him away."

The younger brothers and sisters looked at him silently. Kang Jiayin said: "She married a Fujianese, 20 years older than her, very rich, and brought many gifts back, but I didn't want anything. She didn't have any children. , I came back this time to take Ah Hua to Fujian."

Kang Jiahua hurriedly stood up, blushing and yelling: "I won't go! I won't go! Brother, I won't go with her!" When her mother left, Jiahua was only seven years old, and her memory of her mother was already very faded. Yes, although it is a child's nature to think of a mother, but in comparison, that strange and distant mother is far less close and trustworthy than the brothers and sisters who accompany him day and night.

Kang Jiahui clenched her fists: "Brother, we can't let her take Ah Hua away."

Kang Jiayin looked at his younger brother: "Ah Hua, you have to think carefully, she is rich now, and she can buy you anything you want, such as mobile phones, computers, game consoles, new clothes, new shoes, and all kinds of delicious food. Yes, it can even take you to the playground, and even travel to Beijing and Shanghai.”

Kang Jiahua wiped her tears with her sleeve and yelled at her brother: "I don't need it, I don't care about it! Let her go!"

Kang Jiahui said with tears: "Brother, do you really want her to take Ah Hua away? I don't allow it, I don't agree! Why is she, where is she when we have no food and need her? When we are sick and need her Where is she? Does she treat us like kittens and puppies? If she wants it, she throws it away. What is she? She has no sense of responsibility at all. Without her being such a mother! I would not recognize her , I also don’t agree with her taking Ah Hua away. Without her, we didn’t starve to death, didn’t we just grow up.”

"Exactly! Why did she take me away? Don't I have long legs? Don't I come back? It's not the first time for me. Don't just think about sending me away." Kang Jiahua broke down in tears at this point , his tears fell like broken threads in beads, he was the most insecure person in this family, "Brother, if you promise her, I will never recognize you as a brother again! Even if I go out to beg, I will I will not accept any favor from her!"

Hearing the words of his younger siblings, Kang Jiayin also thought of the unbearable past, and couldn't help but choked up: "Ah Hua, don't cry, I didn't promise her, and I didn't want you, I just told you about it, let me let you go." You choose."

"I don't have to choose. It is absolutely impossible for me to go with her. Let her go, go back wherever she came from, and I will never see her." Kang Jiahua said angrily. I was a little surprised and wanted to know how she was doing now, but he didn't expect that she wanted to take him away as soon as she came. He never wanted to hear about this person and had anything to do with her!

Kang Jiayin said: "I don't want you to go either. We have survived the most difficult days, and there is nothing we can't do now. Hardship and tiredness are nothing. The most important thing is that our brothers and sisters can be together."

Kang Jiahui reached out and hugged Kang Jiayin's arm: "Brother, don't worry, we don't feel bitter, as long as the three of us are together, no matter how bitter the days are, they will be sweet."

Kang Jiahua even put her arms around Kang Jiayin's neck, choked up and said: "Brother, don't treat me like a fool, I can make money now, and when I graduate, I will make a lot of money so that you can live a good life. "

Kang Jiayin's eyes were red, and he said with a smile: "What nonsense, when did I treat you like a fool? I'm just afraid that I won't be able to take good care of you. I don't need you to make money for me. You can live a good life by yourself. , Brother, don't worry."

"There is no one who treats me better than my brothers and sisters. No matter what, I will not be a burden to my brothers and sisters." Kang Jiahua cried.

"Brother didn't regard you as a burden. With you, I feel motivated." Kang Jiayin reached out and stroked the heads of his younger brothers and sisters.

Luo Zizhao remained silent, but his eyes were wet and his nose was a little sore. He quietly turned his head away and wiped his nose with a tissue.

After a long time, Kang Jiayin said aloud: "She may come over again, you can meet her then."

"No see!" Jia Hui and Jia Hua said in unison.

Kang Jiahui said: "I don't want to see her, I can't even remember what she looks like. Go tell her, Ah Hua won't go with her."

"Anyway, I don't want to see her, and I can't remember what she looks like. Even if I kill her, I won't go with her." Kang Jiahua said.

Kang Jiayin sighed: "No matter what, she is still the one who gave birth to us and raised us. Without her, there would be no us. We can't avoid seeing each other. Don't worry, I won't allow her to take any of us away, nor will I want her stuff."

Hearing that they would see her again, both Jiahui and Jiahua were a little listless and unable to cheer up.Kang Jiayin didn't want to see his mother either, but since she was here, she definitely wouldn't just leave. They had to meet and have an interview with her before they could settle the matter.

The doorbell rang, and Luo Zizhao got up to open the door. Seeing Liu Yao through the cat's eyes, he turned around and said, "Liu Yao is here for class."

Kang Jiayin let go of his younger siblings, and stood up: "Okay, wipe away your tears, and don't let anyone see you. I'm going to class, so you should hurry up and do your homework."

"The homework is all done!" The younger brothers and sisters answered in unison.

"Then read and study." Kang Jiayin said.

Luo Zizhao opened the door, and Liu Yao shouted: "Happy newyear!" His smiling face instantly washed away the sad and dull atmosphere in the room.

Luo Zizhao said: "Happy New Year!"

"Why are you here?" Liu Yao asked.

"This will be my home from now on. Where do you say I am not here?" Luo Zizhao just remembered that there is such a happy thing today, yes, he moved to Kang Jiayin's house, and we will live under the same roof with him from now on .
