Mrs. Wei couldn't answer Wei Zhenzhen's question, and finally avoided answering and found an excuse to leave in a hurry, not daring to force them back to help in the fields in the name of filial piety.
Although they still had the upper hand in this farce, it did not relieve Wei's mother. Instead, it made her feel uncomfortable and uneasy. She couldn't help but start to think, is it really good to stay in the village any longer? The blood relationship cannot be broken even if they want to. No matter how much Mrs. Wei goes too far, they can only endure it. Do they have to quarrel in front of the villagers every day and rehash old things?
The villagers will definitely pity them at first, but will it happen again after too many times? Will you still take the initiative to help them? Will it be numb? Will they avoid it and be too lazy to pay attention to their family's affairs?
Can they use Wei Dagen's reputation to threaten Mrs. Wei this time? Will they be able to threaten her in the future?
Mother Wei thanked the villagers who helped, and then took the children back to the house. Seeing that Mother Wei's expression was not right, Wei Cheyu asked worriedly, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you angry?"
Wei's mother shook her head, "No, I was thinking...whether we should move to the town."
Now Wei's mother will no longer treat Wei Cheyu and the others as children, and will discuss anything with them, "Yuzi, Zhenzhen, what do you think?"
Wei Cheyu was confused: "Mom, why do you seem to have moved to the town all of a sudden?"
"Mainly because of your grandmother..." Mother Wei had a headache. "I'm afraid we won't be able to live in the village again. We won't see each other again. It doesn't matter if we don't help once. Can we not help again? What will the people in the village think of us in the future? ?”
Wei Cheyu actually agreed with moving to the town, but his parents were right to worry about it. They had no source of income after leaving the village, unless their parents could find jobs in the town. But their parents were illiterate and had no connections, so they found The possibility of working to support a family is too low.
Wei Cheyu once thought about copying books to earn money to support his family, but he was afraid of arousing his parents' suspicion as to why he could write like someone who had practiced for more than ten years in such a short time, so he finally gave up on copying books. Think of other ways to make money.
When Wei's father came back, Wei's mother told him what happened today and his thoughts. Wei's father agreed with Wei's mother's decision and secretly planned to find out what kind of work he could do when he went to town to sell prey.
Since then, Wei's father has been hunting more and more diligently in case he can't find a job in the town in the future. The money gained from hunting can now allow the family to live in the town for a longer period of time.
Wei Cheyu, on the other hand, was even more diligent in copying books. To be precise, he wrote silently. Wei Cheyu knew many books by heart, so he was not worried about his silent writing mistakes. Although he doesn't plan to make money by copying books at the moment, he has nothing to do anyway. If he doesn't sell them now, he can accumulate them and sell them later.
Wei's father went out hunting before dawn, Wei Cheyu stayed at home copying books, and Wei's mother also went out every day to inquire about news. Wei Zhenzhen was left at home with nothing to do, either waiting outside Wei Cheyu's room to tease ants or standing in the courtyard to soak up the sun. Yue Jingjing, but Wei Zhenzhen did not find such days boring, but cherished them very much, having enough to eat and clothing, and no need to starve or wander.
"Zhenzhen, Zhenzhen, are you at home?"
The sudden call interrupted Wei Zhenzhen's daze. She stood in the courtyard and looked around, wondering if it was too late to go back to the house.
Because the owner of the voice is a little friend who gives her a lot of headaches.
Wei Zhenzhen rarely went out to play, and since the last time Wei Cheyu fell into the water, she had never gone out to play unless she was with Wei Cheyu. Therefore, Wei Zhenzhen, like Wei Cheyu, basically has no friends with whom to play well in the village.
The person shouting now is considered to be Wei Zhenzhen's better friend, but Wei Zhenzhen actually feels that she and the other party are not on good terms, and can only be regarded as having more interactions with each other. However, she doesn't know why the other party likes to play with her. Even if she is silent and does not respond, the other party I also enjoy chatting with her as always.
Seeing the head jumping up and appearing and disappearing on the wall, Wei Zhenzhen knew that she had been seen. Sure enough, she heard her friend say, "It's good that you are here, Zhenzhen. Open the door and let me in."
Wei Zhenzhen sighed deeply. Although she opened the door, she did not let him in. "What's the matter? Brother Yuzi is resting in the room. Let's not disturb him."
Hua Xiaomei nodded, but she ignored Wei Zhenzhen's arm that stopped her, walked into the courtyard, and said to Wei Zhenzhen with tears in her eyes, "Zhenzhen, I heard about you, you are so pitiful."
Wei Zhenzhen: "..."
That's it, it was Hua Xiaomei's attitude and tone that gave Wei Zhenzhen a headache and made her avoid her.
Hua Xiaomei is a child who lives in the same village as her. She has two older sisters and a younger brother. As the middle child and a woman, she is not favored or even ignored at home, but Hua Xiaomei Her parents had a good relationship with Wei's father and Wei's mother, and they were about the same age, so Wei Zhenzhen had more contact with her. Even if she didn't want to talk to each other, given the relationship between Wei's father and Wei's mother and Hua's parents, Wei Zhenzhen could only endure the other's entanglement.
But Wei Zhenzhen didn't feel sorry for herself, but no matter how she explained, Hua Xiaomei seemed not to hear her, and only believed that what she said was just like this.
"I just wish I couldn't do it for you. How could they drive you away? Wouldn't it cost you your life!"
"...They didn't drive me away, only my grandmother wanted to drive me away."
"Zhen Zhen, you are such a nice person, so kind, but also too cowardly. There is no need to cover up for your adoptive parents. I will not tell anyone about your dissatisfaction and fear towards them."
"...I didn't, they were very nice to me."
"Oh, Zhen Zhen, you are so oppressed by them that you don't even dare to resist behind your back. You are so pitiful."
"..."
Tired of sleeping and not loving.
Wei Zhenzhen decided to send her friend away as soon as possible. The two could not communicate at all, "Do you have anything to do with me? If not, you should leave. Brother Yuzi is resting."
Subconsciously, Wei Zhenzhen felt that people could not know that Wei Cheyu was writing in the room, so she told the outside world that Wei Cheyu was resting in the room.
"Can't I come to you if I have nothing to do? Aren't we good friends?"
"no."
Hua Xiaomei felt a lump in her throat, and then looked at Wei Zhenzhen with even more pity, "Oh my god, Zhenzhen, you are so pitiful. This family won't let you make friends."
"..."
Wei Zhenzhen could not drive people away with a cold face, so she could only remain silent.
Anyway, if she doesn't respond, over time the little girl will feel bored and leave on her own.
Since Hua Xiaomei's voice was not loud, she probably wouldn't be able to disturb Wei Cheyu in the room, so Wei Zhenzhen stood in the courtyard and continued to be in a daze.
However, before Hua Xiaomei could leave first, Wei Cheyu opened the door.
Hua Xiaomei was the first to notice the others and shouted in surprise, "Brother Yuko, are you awake? Did I disturb you?"
It's so noisy, it's like an annoying fly, don't you have any idea whether it's noisy or not?
Wei Cheyu thought with disgust, but with a gentle and polite smile on his face, he responded politely, "No, I just woke up."
Hua Xiaomei rarely saw Wei Cheyu in the past. In her impression, Wei Cheyu was thin and frail, and his face was always as white as paper, as if he would faint at any time.
She hadn't seen him for a long time, and when she suddenly saw him today, she felt that he had changed a lot. Although he still looked thin, his complexion was ruddy, his black hair was tied up in a blue scarf, his eyes were softly rippled, and his eyes were as clear and crystal-black as obsidian. , with a bookish temperament that she couldn't describe.
Wei Cheyu greeted, "Are you here...to play?"
Hua Xiaomei couldn't help but be fascinated as she watched. When she came back to her senses, she found those beautiful obsidian eyes staring at her. She couldn't help but blush and lower her head, so she didn't see what happened when she lowered her head. , that gentle look was instantly full of disgust.
"Well, I came to play with Zhen Zhen. I haven't seen her for a long time." Hua Xiaomei responded shyly.
Wei Cheyu nodded and pointed into the room, "Then I won't disturb you anymore."
"Don't bother me, Yuko-san, let's play together."
"...No," Wei Cheyu said in an apologetic tone, "I'm sorry, I still have some things to do."
"Brother Yuko, what are you doing? I can help you."
"..."
Why can't children all over the world be as informed and understanding as Wei Zhenzhen?
While copying books, he heard chattering outside the door. Although he could not hear the content clearly, Wei Cheyu knew as soon as he heard that the speaker was not Wei Zhenzhen, not the Wei Zhenzhen who was always as quiet as a quail whenever she was alone with him.
Sometimes Wei Cheyu would wonder whether Wei Zhenzhen was as quiet as a quail in front of everyone except Wei's father and Wei's mother, or whether it was because she carefully noticed that he didn't like the noise around him, so she was so quiet.
But what is undeniable is that Wei Zhenzhen, who he originally thought would be troublesome and disgusting, now makes him feel comfortable.
With her around, Wei Cheyu felt that his life was much more convenient and calm. She had already covered many things for him before he could figure them out on his own.
Look, just like now, it seems that I can feel his resistance, so I interrupt.
"Xiao Hua, we can't help. Don't disturb Brother Yuzi. Let's go out and play." After saying this, Wei Zhenzhen seemed to be unable to see Hua Xiaomei's resistance. She took her hand and dragged her out of the door, and then touched her Close the wooden door with a sound.
But Wei Zhenzhen did not go far and stood outside the gate because she wanted to guard Wei Cheyu. Anyway, she just had to block the door to prevent Hua Xiaomei from entering.
So she said innocently, "Let's play here. Don't go in. What do you want to play? Just play, I'll watch you play."
Hua Xiaomei: "..."
In the courtyard, Wei Cheyu, who was still staying in place, listened to the conversation outside the door, and the gloomy and irritable emotions in his heart caused by Hua Xiaomei were swept away.
He couldn't help but chuckle softly, his eyes flashing with a warm smile that even he didn't notice.
