The moonlight comes quietly.
After the spring snow the day before yesterday, the weather is getting warmer.
Zhou Youran stuffed firewood into the stove. The little girl had something on her mind. If she wasn't careful, the fire in the pot would get big!
Zhou Dagu quickly scooped up half a ladle of water and put it into the pot: "What are you thinking about? Thinking about tomorrow?"
"Don't worry, I promised dad that I will take good care of you, and I won't let you marry Yuan Wang!"
"Brother has already thought of a way. Just wait until Mr. Wang comes to our house tomorrow. I will make sure he never comes back!"
Zhou Youran stood up and hugged his brother's back: "Brother, if it doesn't work, I can marry him. Don't let anything happen to you!"
When I was a child, my brother was cowardly and did not dare to fight back when someone bullied him.
The boys in the village bullied her brother and then bullied her again. Zhou Youran had no one to say anything to, until one time her newly made clothes were torn and she ran home crying.
That day, my brother, who had always been cowardly, became red-eyed. He held his father's woodcutter in his hand and ran back and forth three times from the east end to the west end of the village, chopping at the boys.
Even some adults who entered the country did not dare to care about my brother.
Zhou Youran leaned on his brother's back worriedly: "Brother, as long as we live, everything else is not important! I can get married!"
Zhou Dagu pulled the little girl and looked into her eyes seriously: "You can marry, but you can't marry someone other than Wang Yuan!"
"Don't worry, we will both live well. I will not only let us both live well, but I will also let you live freely and happily in the future!"
"Now..." Zhou Dagu looked at the little girl: "The rabbit in the pot is the most important!"
The little girl yelled, squatted down and quickly pulled out the firewood stuffed into the stove.
The aroma wafted far away, and Zhou Dagu went out with a pot of rabbit meat. Standing in the yard, he raised his head to the left and looked at the wall.
"come out!"
"Hehe! Brother Zhou, you are really powerful. Even if I hide it, I can't hide it from you!" Wang An stood on the wall and looked at him, or to be precise, he looked at the rabbit in his hand.
"Come in and eat!"
"Can it be done?"
"Then don't come in!"
"No! I'm hungry! Apart from Brother Gu's family, who in these ten miles and eight villages can have a meal of meat? I'll come in right now, come in!" Wang An quickly tried to climb over the wall and come in.
Zhou Dagu pointed at the door: "The door is unlocked!"
The oil lamps were shaking in the small room. Farmers were reluctant to buy candles, and every household burned oil lamps.
Xiao Wangan sat next to Zhou Dagu and Zhou Youran, lowering his head to attack the meat in the bowl.
Zhou Youran looked at the rabbit his brother brought back, half of which was about to go into this guy's mouth, and looked at him fiercely: "You haven't eaten! You're not polite at all!"
Wang An stuffed his mouth with rabbit meat and raised his head: "I haven't eaten in the first place! Brother Gu, your cooking is so delicious. I don't mean that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen. Why can you still make such delicious food?"
Zhou Dagu had eaten in the city. He was full after eating a few mouthfuls. He took two pieces of meat from the basin, one for his younger sister and one for Wang An: "Didn't your mother prepare food for you?"
He tilted his head and looked at Wang An, who was silent: "Did she hit you again?"
Wang An shook his head: "No this time, I dropped it!"
Zhou Youran is a kind-hearted girl. When she heard her brother say this, she picked up his chopsticks, picked up the last piece of meat, and put it in Wang An's bowl: "There is no mother like this in the world. Even the stepmother cannot ignore you. I keep beating and scolding you!”
Zhou Dagu did not speak and looked at Wang An who lowered his head.
He was silent for a moment before speaking, but his words could not help but feel aggrieved for himself: "It's not easy for her either. My brother is still young and his father has passed away. Now the government has not yet made a final decision on his identity! This time, the monthly payment and pension are also None!"
“My family has no money, so I’ll be fine if I’m hungry for two meals. If my little brother is too hungry, he won’t be able to bear it!”
The little girl has a strong sense of justice but still refuses to give up: "Then I have to deny you food and beat you, it is really unreasonable!"
Zhou Dagu picked up the meat from the little girl’s bowl and stuffed it into her mouth: “Eat yours!”
"Even the third master who entered Wufu is complaining about the disaster. She is a wife and has to raise two children. The half-grown son will eat me to death. The fact that Wang An is able to eat now is because she has taken good care of him!"
Zhou Dagu sighed, this is a great victory, a year of disaster, and Xiangzhou where demons and barbarians continue to live.
Wang An is a half-year-old boy who can make meals in the village all day long. When he is hungry, he has a home. Others cannot say that his stepmother is not good to him!
Wang An nodded: "Xiaozizi, the one at the entrance of the village! Their house is gone now!"
"After his father died on the battlefield, he couldn't even care about his mother remarrying. I saw Coyotito last winter as hungry as a dry tree trunk!"
Zhou Youran rested her head on her arms. She had her father and brother supporting her, so she couldn't imagine how miserable the lives of others were.
"I've seen the little kid you mentioned. In winter, he came to our house to beg for food, and our father gave him half a bag of bran. He laughed so happily at that time!" The little girl cleared the table and stood behind Zhou Dagu. Open your mouth.
She stopped wondering: "But, I haven't seen him this year!"
Wang An buried his head in the bowl: "He is dead! On New Year's Day, I fired off the cannon at the entrance of the village and found that my father had buried it for him!"
The night was cool, and the wind was particularly noisy in the darkness.
Wang An licked the oil in the bowl clean, then held the bowl with both hands and handed it to Zhou Youran: "Sister Ran, let me go and clean it!"
"Don't! We don't have many bowls at home, why don't you break them again!"
"Then I'm back!"
"It's better for you!" Sister Zhou complained!
Zhou Dagu waved his hand: "Go! If you are hungry in the future, you can come to our house. As long as I am still in Zhoujia Village, I will take care of your food!"
At night, the oil lamp flickered in the room, and Wang An remembered Zhou Dagu's face: "Thank you, Brother Gu!"
He took a step back and went out!
Zhou Youran went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, while Zhou Dagu turned on the weak light and carefully read a few books brought from Master Zhu's house.
"Bang bang bang!" The door rang again!
"Who is it? Why is it you again? Oh! What are you doing?" Zhou Youran said repeatedly.
Wang An walked straight into the inner hall: "Brother Gu!"
Zhou Dagu looked up at him: "Is something wrong?"
"There are four masters standing at your intersection, masters similar to my father. They have blocked your road!"
"Paji!"
The porcelain bowl in Zhou Youran's hand fell to the ground: "Are they...this?"
Zhou Dagu shook his head and looked out the door. He crossed the yard and closed the door: "Then you can sleep at home today!"
"Sister, sleep well tonight and watch your brother perform tomorrow!"
Wang An watched Zhou Dagu confidently walk into the main room with an envious look on his face: "Brother Gu, you are so angry!"
Thinking of the people at the door and Yuan Wang, who had been used by his father to scare people since he was a child, Wang An hesitated again.
Sleeping in Zhou Wu's room, Wang An looked at the pale moon outside the door.
He touched his full belly, lowered his head and took out the knife Zhou Dagu had given him for his father: "Brother Gu, don't worry!"
