There was soup and barbecue to eat, and everyone was satisfied with their meal. They waited until the moon climbed into the sky before it disappeared.
Zhu Yuanyuan was brought home by her father, which made her feel aggrieved and puzzled, "Am I no longer my father's precious child?"
In the past, I would hold her in my arms carefully.
Zhu Qiang snorted coldly, "The naughty and disobedient little boy only deserves to be carried."
"I'm very good~" Zhu Yuanyuan's big watery eyes blinked, trying hard to show the cutest and cutest side.
As for being naughty and mischievous, isn’t that a cub’s nature?
Zhu Yuanyuan feels that if you want to pretend to be a cub, you have to pretend to be more like a cub, but you can't let people see the flaws.
"Be serious," Zhu Qiang tried to keep a straight face, "You made a big mistake today and you must be beaten."
The elders are right, Zaizai cannot be spoiled and can change easily.
Zhu Yongmeng's eyes lit up, "My sister is young, so she can't hit her too hard."
Searching around in the cave, I found a branch as thick as my thumb, "Just use this to hit it."
Zhu Yuanyuan shot the knife with a swish, and forced out a sentence through her teeth, "You are really my good second brother!"
"I am your brother, of course I must treat you well," Zhu Yongmeng said with a smile.
Zhu Yuanyuan was so angry that she didn't want to speak anymore. She simply turned her head aside and secretly thought about how to repay her 'good' second brother.
Zhu Qiang took the branch from Er'er's hand and smacked it with his backhand, "You took your sister into the mountains without taking good care of her. You still think you are right, right? You really want to see your sister get beaten, right?"
He was whipped ten times in a row until the person screamed, tears and runny nose came out, and he looked embarrassed and pitiful.
Zhu Yuanyuan peeked out of the corner of her eye, feeling very happy. Look, not only her, but also the bad second brother was going to be beaten.
Thinking like this, I suddenly felt that being beaten was nothing.
After Zhu Qiang taught his second son a lesson, he turned around and saw the female Zai Zai enjoying herself. Most of his anger had dissipated and started to rise again. He shouted in a deep voice, "Yuanyuan, come here!"
"Ah~" Zhu Yuanyuan raised her head and met her father's dark face, and was so frightened that she took a few steps back.
"Come here!" Zhu Qiang's voice rose slightly.
Zhu Yuanyuan walked over slowly, holding out her left hand tremblingly with the palm of her hand facing upward, "Dad, hit it gently~"
She closed her eyes, not having the courage to watch herself being beaten.
Zhu Qiang's heart was so soft that he gradually relaxed the branches he held in his big hands, but he said harshly, "It's impossible to be gentle. If you're afraid of pain, just remember this lesson and don't make the same mistake again in the future."
Zhu Yuanyuan's eyes were filled with tears, "But I didn't mean it."
"Even if you don't do it on purpose, you will be punished."
"..."
The father and daughter talked lively back and forth, but the branch was still not lifted up. Brother Zhu, who had been beaten so hard, suddenly felt unbalanced.
"I said I was going to beat my sister, but it was me who got beaten. Isn't this just partiality?"
"What's the rush?" Zhu Xiaofen said softly, "Your father is responsible for telling my sister what mistakes she made, and I'm responsible for beating her up."
As for the little female, she still has to be taught a lesson by her mother-in-law.
A sudden chill ran down Zhu Yuanyuan's spine. The instinct of a small animal made her feel danger. Before she could analyze the source, she saw her mother striding over, snatching the branch from her father's hand and slapping her white and tender hand three times.
Things happened so fast that before Zhu Yuanyuan could react, she was so painful that she couldn't stop crying, "Ouch~ It hurts~ My hand is going to be broken!"
She never expected that A Niang, who was usually gentle and gentle, would be willing to hit her, which made her whole body feel bad.
Perhaps because she had been pretending to be a baby for a long time, Zhu Yuanyuan's thoughts and behaviors unconsciously deviated. Gradually, she really felt that she was young and qualified to be willful. She held her red and swollen hands and cried heartbrokenly, venting her uneasiness about coming to a strange world. .
Zhu Yongmeng was quite happy when he first saw his sister being beaten, and felt that he was not at a disadvantage this time, but when he saw his sister crying pitifully, he couldn't help but feel guilty.
If he hadn't held on and wouldn't stop until he saw his sister being beaten, Aniang wouldn't have actually taken action.
He was the older brother, and it was his fault that he took his sister into the mountains and failed to take good care of her.
Brother Zhu was busy introspecting himself. Brother Zhu, who was hiding nearby and didn't dare to interfere, couldn't help it. "Dad, my sister's hand is so swollen, should she get some medicine?"
"Yes, yes, yes," Zhu Qiang was awakened and hurriedly went to dig through the animal skin bag where the medicine was stored.
Zhu Xiaofen looked at the red and swollen left hand of the female Zai Zai, with a flash of distress in her eyes, but she did not say anything soft, but asked with a straight face, "Does Yuanyuan know that she was wrong?"
Zhu Yuanyuan was so aggrieved that she sobbed and did not answer.
"I know, my sister is so good, I just need to teach her more," Zhu Yong fiercely took over the topic.
Zhu Xiaofen glanced over and said, "Shut up and let her speak for herself."
Zhu Yuanyuan was reluctant to say it, but when she saw Aniang raising the branch again, she could only admit with a pout, "I was wrong."
"What's wrong?" Zhu Xiaofen asked.
"You shouldn't have lost your second brother and run into the mountains," Zhu Yuanyuan said wistfully.
"Do you still dare to do this?"
"Don't dare!"
The mother and daughter asked and answered questions and talked about the matter within a few minutes.
Zhu Xiaofen threw away the branch in her hand, took the female Zaizai's red and swollen left hand and whispered softly, "Mom, let me blow it for you. It won't hurt soon."
Zhu Yuanyuan's crying gradually stopped and she nodded obediently, "Okay."
Early the next morning, Zhu Xiaofen cooked broth for the female Zai Zai and prepared a large piece of barbecued meat coated with honey, euphemistically calling it "to calm Yuanyuan's shock."
Zhu Yuanyuan's mouth was full of oil and her belly was round. She was so satisfied that she forgot all about the beating she received yesterday.
"Is it delicious?" Zhu Xiaofen asked with a smile.
"It's very delicious. Grandma's grilled meat is getting better and better," Zhu Yuanyuan gave a thumbs up, "The soup is also delicious."
It's a pity that there is no green onion and ginger to remove the fishy smell. The cooked broth will inevitably have a fishy smell. There is some in the system backpack, but because of my young age, I can't find a chance to take it out, otherwise the soup will taste better.
She now prefers egg drop soup to broth.
"As long as it's delicious," Zhu Xiaofen said, "As long as you like it, I'll make it for you next time."
Zhu Yuanyuan nodded fiercely and said in a sweet voice, "Grandma is so nice, I like Grandma the most~"
It’s not like she ignored her mother yesterday!
Zhu Yongmeng woke up with the tempting aroma of barbecue. When he got up, he saw his mother holding his sister and talking and laughing. He opened his mouth in surprise, "Have you reconciled?"
"There was no falling out in the first place, how could there be any talk of reconciliation," Zhu Xiaofen scolded, "Mengzi, don't talk nonsense."
Zhu Yongmeng sighed, "Okay, okay, you are the mother-in-law and you have the final say. I have no objection."
He hasn't learned how to grill meat or make soup, and he doesn't have the ability to live independently, but he doesn't dare to offend his mother-in-law.
When he reaches adulthood, he will hold a partnership ceremony with... and start a new family. It won't be easy to educate (bully) his sister by then!
Second brother Zhu was making small calculations in his mind, and the look he looked at his sister was somewhat meaningful.
"Auntie, I'm hungry~"
"Go and eat barbecue when you're hungry," Zhu Xiaofen said unceremoniously, "They're all placed on the big stone table. You're such a big man, you won't let me help feed them to your mouth!"
"That's not necessary," Zhu Yong touched his nose and went to get a piece of barbecue to chew on.
