Chapter 38:

you lie, no one likes brother

Zhu Pan's words set off a big wave in Ji Ningyi's heart.

It was indeed like this before Zhile was born, everyone was living a good life, everything belonged to him alone, everything in the family, mother's likes belonged to him alone.

But he doesn't hate Zhile, he grew up watching Zhile, he didn't like the two of them when his mother was sick, he played with Zhile and grew up together, Zhile didn't like his mother, he would tell Zhile to wait for his mother If you don't get sick, everything will be fine.

It's just that Mom isn't sick, and things don't seem to be all right.

It turns out that Zhile will not only grow up with him, be his younger brother and best friend, but Zhile will also share his mother's love.

Zhile was sick yesterday, so mother had to take care of him, and the story of the remaining daffodils was not finished.

Zhu Pan asked, "Do you like your brother?"

Ji Ningyi suddenly didn't dare to look her in the eyes, he said, "I like it."

It's true, it turned out to be a favorite.

Zhu Pan said: "You are lying, no one likes younger brother."

She said: "Many girls in our class have younger brothers, and they don't like it, just like me."

Ji Ningyi said: "No, Zhile is different from them, Zhile will not sue."

As soon as Ji Ning raised his voice a little, he could completely refute Zhu Pan's words like this.

Zhu Pan said: "Even if he won't sue, after he is born, his parents only care about him."

Ji Ning pursed his lips tightly, wanting to refute, but didn't know what to say.

Zhu Pan said: "I'm going to bed. Tomorrow I will help your grandma grow vegetables, so that I can return what I ate and slept during the two days at your house."

Zhu Pan left, but Ji Ningyi didn't. Zhu Pan's words came to his mind, it would be great if his younger brother disappeared. It turned out that our family lived well without him.

It turned out that Ji Ningyi had never had such an idea. What he had at most was that it would be great if his mother could give him more love for Zhile.

But he told himself that he is an older brother and he has to take care of Zhile. When he was as old as Zhile, his mother gave him a lot of love.

When a child grows up slowly, he will be sensible, and a sensible child will be more liked, but sometimes he does not understand why Zhile is not sensible, and his mother also likes him very much.

Zhu Pan's words are undoubtedly a huge rock, smashing a huge wave in Ji Ning's turbulent heart.

The next day was a fine day, the sun was mild but not hot, occasionally hiding in the clouds.

Ji Zhile was alive and kicking again, he said, "I want to grow cabbage!"

Woke up talking about cabbage, Cheng Yangjiao said: "Growing cabbage is very tiring, you can't give up halfway through planting, and you have to finish everything."

Ji Zhile straightened her small chest: "Don't worry, Grandma!"

The vegetable garden behind the villa is quite large, and many small pits have been dug in the small spare area at the moment. It is only necessary to plant cabbage seedlings in the small pits.

The cabbage seedlings are also sowed by themselves. They are green and the leaves are tender green, which looks very gratifying.

Cheng Yangjiao said: "Xiaofang sowed a lot of seeds this time. Plant them first, and fry the cabbage seedlings today if you can't finish planting."

Ji Zhile raised her face and asked, "Grandma, are cabbage seedlings delicious?"

Cheng Yangjiao smiled and said, "Of course it's delicious. You've eaten the shredded carrots last night. It tastes similar to that."

Ji Zhile froze: "Then I won't eat."

"I'll eat Chinese cabbage when the cabbage grows up."

It can be seen that Ji Zhile really hates carrots.

It was originally a small piece of soil, and several people planted it very quickly. Ji Zhile was the one who enjoyed it the most. Others used hoes to cover the soil, but he used his hands.

After a while, there were lumps of dirt here and there on his body. Si Tian wanted to stop it, but Cheng Yangjiao said: "Let him do it, children like to help, no matter whether it is done well or not, let him have a sense of participation."

He sighed again: "When I was a child in the countryside, I helped my parents with work every day. Although I was tired, I was happy. Everyone ran all over the mountains and fields. Now, the cram schools that children can't finish are just cram schools at home every day. I feel tired when I see them. .”

After speaking, he asked Ji Ningyi: "Ningyi, have you attended cram school yet?"

Ji Ning shook his head: "No, grandma."

"If you want to go, go, if you don't go, forget it. Our children will never starve to death if they don't go to cram school." Cheng Yangjiao was very angry.

Si Tian thought, mother-in-law, you are being modest. How can you not starve to death for a lifetime, or for more than ten lifetimes?

The men in Ji's family seem to have their careers engraved in their bones. Ji Jiangzhou went to the company today. As far as Si Tian knows, her father-in-law was also a career freak when he was young. Plant vegetables and grow flowers.

It was almost noon after planting the cabbage. Cheng Yangjiao looked at the cabbage seedlings in the field and said, "Panpan is the best."

Being praised, Zhu Pan was a little embarrassed, embarrassed, and subconsciously said: "No."

Aunt Fang immediately said: "Panpan is used to doing it at home, but Zhile and Ning are the best ones, and they are all planted the first time."

Cheng Yangjiao said: "Xiao Fang, I'm speaking from the facts. Panpan did a good job, Zhile and Ningyi are fine, the children should be praised."

Aunt Fang said, "Yes."

Cheng Yangjiao didn't say anything more, and she didn't like to care about the education of other people's children, but sometimes she would say a few words when she couldn't stand it.

Ji Zhile is very capable of selective listening. Hearing what grandma said, a big smile appeared on his face: "Grandma, I also think I planted very well. When we go to school, the teacher will ask us what we did on the weekend. Tell the whole class that I planted cabbage, they will all be envious of me."

Zhu Pan quietly glanced at Ji Zhile, not quite understanding why some people would envy others for growing cabbage.

"Zhi Le, then do you want to write an essay to commemorate it?" Si Tian was very devilish, and immediately remembered that she went on a spring outing when she was in elementary school. Every time she came back, she would have an assignment to write an essay on the theme of the spring outing.

But it's a pity that Ji Zhile is still very young, he doesn't understand: "What is composition, mother."

Si Tian didn't want to recall the nightmarish past, and stroked his hair: "You will understand when you grow up."

Ji Zhile let out a ignorant "Oh", and decided to ask her brother when her mother was away. My brother must know at this age.

He went to wash his hands, his hands were full of mud, he rinsed them with water, and came back.

When Si Tian saw the dirt left on his hands, she couldn't take it anymore, she took his arm and walked to the faucet: "I'll wash it for you."

Si Tian recalled the seven-step hand washing method in her mind, and then explained to Ji Zhile: "First this, then that, wash every detail."

Ji Zhile's hands were baishengsheng, they were soft when kneaded, and they felt very good, Si Tian couldn't help kneading more.

Ji Zhile blinked and said, "Mom, will my hands be this big when I grow up?"

He stretched out his palm, stuck it to Si Tian's palm, and made comparisons hard.

"Will do."

Ji Zhile became happy. The child has a natural love for water. At first Ji Zhile obediently let her wash her hands. After a while, she curled up to pick up the water and carefully held it in her hand to play with. , All of a sudden, I got so playful that I spilled it all, and it even splashed on Si Tian.

Si Tian stares at death.

Ji Zhile thought for a while and said, "Mom, I still want to wash my shoes."

As he said that, he repeated the same trick, scooping up water and splashing it on the ground, forming a small pool of water splash. He raised his foot and stepped on it, making a crackling sound while giggling.

The veins on the back of Si Tian's hands twitched.

Ji Zhile didn't realize it at all, and was still happily scooping water and treading water happily. He felt that grandma's house was much more fun than his own. There was a big vegetable field, and he could directly pour water on the ground and step on it.

Just opening his mouth while playing, the back of his neck tightened.

"Come back with me!" Si Tian's voice came, full of anger.

Ji Zhile stopped scooping water immediately: "Mom, I'll go back by myself."

After struggling to no avail, Si Tian took him to the room and asked him to change his shoes.

Si Tian stood, looking at the water all over Ji Zhile's body, never expecting that he would get his whole body wet when he planned to wash his hands.

Ji Zhile blinked her big eyes and said softly, "Mom, I won't play in the water anymore."

Si Tian squeezed out a smile: "Don't you want to wash your shoes?"

Ji Zhile hummed, of course it was a lie, he was talking nonsense just to play with the water.

"Then wash it." Si Tian showed a very understanding smile, "How easy is it to wash your clothes, change your shoes, take your original shoes to wash, I will ask your grandma to get you a brush of."

Holding the shoes, Ji Zhile was a little at a loss: "Mom..."

Si Tian urged him: "Go and wash."

Ji Zhile walked out with her head down and her shoes on her hands.

"What's wrong?" Ji Zhile heard grandma's voice.

Ji Zhile blinked, trying to be miserable: "Mom asked me to clean my shoes."

Grandma said: "Ah, that's it, then go quickly, there are brushes outside."

Ji Zhile's dream of escaping punishment was shattered, and he stood by the faucet.

As soon as Ji Ning walked over, he just saw his mother washing Zhile's hands, and then took Zhile back. He washed his hands himself, and he is older, so he can wash himself clean.

Zhile can't do many things well, so he needs his mother to help him. He can do everything well, so he doesn't need help. It's just that he saw it but was still envious.

Seeing Ji Zhile brushing his shoes unhappily, Ji Ning said, "Zhi Le, stop playing in the water, you just got a fever yesterday."

Ji Zhile, who was not happy at first, got a little angry when he heard his brother's accusation: "I don't have any now!"

He turned around, pointed his **** at his brother, and cleaned the shoes himself. He just played for a while, and now he is gone.

Ji Ning pursed his lips and left without saying a word.

He knew that Zhile was angry, but he felt that Zhile's anger was unreasonable. His mother helped him wash his hands, and he was still playing with water.

When Ji Zhile saw that everyone had left, he brushed up his shoes again. He would feel a little ashamed if there were too many people.

For lunch, we eat stir-fried cabbage, cabbage egg soup, green pepper shredded pork, simple but delicious, except for the meat, everything else is grown by ourselves.

Si Tian found out that her father-in-law and her mother-in-law have a good relationship. Although her father-in-law likes to grow flowers, most of the back garden is covered with vegetables, squeezing the flowers to the edge.

And Si Tian found the use of the emoticons she sent to her mother-in-law. She accidentally caught a glimpse of the chat records of her parents-in-law. They were all kitten emoticons she sent, which looked extremely cute.

Cheng Yangjiao didn't panic when she saw her, and instead taught her her marriage experience: "Although love is bad, marriage needs to be managed. A good marriage is better than fighting alone."

Si Tian thinks it makes sense, but she doesn't want to develop any relationship with Ji Jiangzhou now, it's fine now, her husband doesn't like to go home, but the money is enough.

Si Tian deleted all the cat heads in her emoji package, in case she accidentally sent them to Ji Jiangzhou in the future and caused unnecessary misunderstandings.

The emoji that was posted by mistake last time was very misleading.

After lunch, Ji Zhile had to continue brushing his shoes, and he only finished one in the morning.

However, compared to the unhappiness in the morning, Ji Zhile regained his vitality after having lunch, and after brushing his shoes and drying them in the sun, Ji Zhile was ready to enter the house.

But when he turned around, he saw Zhu Pan squatting in the vegetable field, Ji Zhile thought for a while, stepped forward, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Zhu Pan didn't raise his head: "Catch bugs."

Ji Zhile was stunned, he didn't like bugs. He took a small step back and said in a low voice: "I asked grandma, and what you said is right."

His tone was a bit awkward. Ji Zhile didn't believe what Zhu Pan said about the varieties of dishes, but what grandma said was the same as what Zhu Pan said. Ji Zhile knew he was wrong, but he was too embarrassed to apologize. He wanted to If Zhu Pan didn't hate him, he could say sorry.

Zhu Pan finally raised his head and glanced at him, and said in a calm tone, "Then you know each other now."

Ji Zhile nodded.

Zhu Pan saw his shoes hanging out, and thinking of Ji Zhile's words just now, she never thought that Ji Zhile would apologize. Although she didn't say it directly, in Zhu Pan's eyes, it was an apology. In this way, it is much better than her brother's behavior that will only blame her for doing something wrong.

Zhu Pan said, "Drying the shoes directly will turn them yellow."

Ji Zhile didn't quite understand either, but instead of refuting directly, he asked, "Then how do we dry it?"

"Cover the top with a paper towel so that when it dries the shoes are white."

Ji Zhile immediately ran back to the villa and took out a paper towel, and wrapped the shoes tightly. He was very proud: "I'll show my mother when it's done, I washed it clean."

"Panpan." Ji Zhile asked her, "Are you going home this afternoon?"

Zhu Pan nodded, with a bit of joy in his tone: "My mother and brother have tickets for 4:00 p.m., and they will be home by 6:00 p.m.."

Ji Zhile didn't know what this had to do with Zhu Pan returning home, he said, "Would you like to play hide and seek with us?"

"Three is more fun than two."

Ji Zhile likes this game very much, but the get out of class time in the kindergarten is too short, and there are only him and his brother at home. He has played it too many times, and he knows exactly where to hide, which makes the game less fun up.

Finally, at grandma's house, there was a new partner. Ji Zhile felt that they had reached a reconciliation just now, so he took the initiative to invite Zhu Pan.

Although Zhu Pan matured earlier than her peers, she was only an eight-year-old child, at the stage where she liked to play. When she heard Ji Zhile's proposal, she was also a little moved, but quickly shook her head: "If you don't play, you will disturb others." sleeping."

It's nap time now, playing hide and seek must be hiding at home and will disturb others.

Grandma Ji Zhile is willing to let her come here, she will be very grateful, and she can't cause trouble for others, this is what her grandma told her.

Ji Zhile shook her head: "It won't disturb others, we can hide outside."

Ji Zhile pointed: "Anywhere is fine."

"It's very fun, why don't you try it." He begged in a soft voice, his big eyes were watery, and the pupils were black and bright.

Zhu Pan felt that her younger brother's expression was ugly, and she wouldn't even look at it, but Ji Zhile was a very good-looking child, and she really wanted to play, so Zhu Pan said, "Then Just play for a while."

Ji Zhile nodded immediately, and said happily, "I'll call my brother."

Ji Ningyi is not very keen on playing games, but he couldn't stand his younger brother's begging, the three children stood together in rock-paper-scissors, and Ji Zhile lost the first round.

He was very playful, covered his eyes and started counting.

After counting to twenty, they immediately put down their hands to look for someone. They said they would not hide in the villa, so Ji Zhile started looking around the outer wall. A tree was planted on the outer edge, and Ji Zhile circled around the tree , and then found a small short door, he pushed it open, and found that there were lawns and woods outside.

Ji Zhile felt that it would be easy to hide in the woods, and no one would be able to find out if he hid there. He was about to bend down to pass through the small door, but suddenly heard a laugh.

Based on the sound, Ji Zhile immediately located them, thinking that they must not be hiding outside, closed the door and continued to search for someone around the garden.

He found Zhu Pan under a tree, Zhu Pan was hidden in the tree, and ordinary people couldn't find it, but Ji Zhile was not an ordinary person, he raised his head, saw the figure, and shouted in a clear voice: "I saw you, Hope!"

Zhu Pan climbed down from the tree.

Ji Zhile looked at her curiously: "Panpan, how did you climb the tree? Teach me."

Zhu Pan is unwilling: "No, they will scold me if you fall."

Ji Zhile tilted his head and asked, "Why did you scold you? I fell it myself. They should call a doctor to see me. They won't scold you."

But Zhu Pan still refused to teach, and Ji Zhile begged her and she refused to agree. Ji Zhile had no choice but to continue to look for Ji Ningyi, but he couldn't find anyone after looking around for several times, so he had to say to Zhu Pan: "I If you can’t find your brother, it’s up to you to come to us.”

Zhu Pan said, "Okay." She didn't find Ji Ningyi either.

"Brother, where are you?" Ji Zhile shouted.

As soon as Ji Ning got out of the tank filled with water, and there was a wooden cover on it, Ji Zhile thought it's no wonder he didn't find it, this is really a good place, but he definitely can't hide here later, it has already been discovered .

Therefore, Ji Zhile suggested: "Panpan, let's enlarge the hiding area a little bit, it's fine if we don't hide at home."

Zhu Pan knew that the outer wall doors were locked, and Ji Zhile couldn't hide anywhere, so he nodded: "Yes."

When Zhu Pan was blindfolded and counting, Ji Zhile took Ji Ningyi's hand and walked under the big tree, his voice was low: "Brother, I just discovered the secret passage, we must hide outside Nobody can find it."

Ji Ningyi was also curious about the secret passage that Ji Zhile was talking about, so he followed him out, but when Ji Zhile opened the door, Ji Ningyi shook his head: "No, the door is outside, we can't hide outside."

Ji Zhile said: "It's okay, I told Panpan just now, as long as you don't hide at home, it's fine."

Ji Ningyi was still unwilling, but Panpan had already counted to fifteen, and Ji Zhile said, "Then brother, you will be the first to be caught."

After finishing speaking, Ji Zhile sneaked out shortly. Ji Ning turned his head and took a look. He didn't want to be the first to be caught, so he followed Ji Zhile out.

Ji Zhile closed the door lightly, but his expression was extremely excited. He took Ji Ningyi's hand and ran out. He was full of freshness about everything around him: "Brother, let's hide in the woods, we must hope that we won't be able to find him." to us."

Ji Ningyi said: "It's too far away, it will be very dangerous."

Ji Zhile shook his head, disapproving: "Brother, you have to be brave, everyone likes brave children."

He straightened out his chest and felt that he was a very brave kid.

Ji Ning pursed his lips, and did not refuse Ji Zhile's proposal.

It's not so much about hiding as it is about taking risks. As they walked up the mountain, Ji Zhile's attention would soon be attracted by a small flower on the side of the road, and he picked it off and said, "Brother, do you know what kind of flower this is?"

Ji Ningyi shook his head honestly: "I don't know."

Ji Zhile suddenly thought of something and asked, "Brother, do you know what composition is?"

Ji Ningyi explained: "It is to record things in articles."

Ji Zhile seemed to understand, but he didn't understand, so his grievance notebook was full of compositions, he recorded them all, and he had to add another one when he got home tonight, and his mother punished him to brush his shoes.

Thinking of the shoes, Ji Zhile showed Ji Ning his hands, and put them in front of Ji Ning's eyes: "Brother, look, my hands are red when I brush my shoes."

Ji Zhile hadn't done much work before, just cleaned his shoes, and now his palms are still a little red.

As soon as Ji Ning refused to listen to him, he said calmly, "That's because you didn't listen to your mother."

Although Ji Zhile knew the reason, he was still a little embarrassed to be told by others. He lowered his head, shook off Ji Ningyi's hand, and muttered softly: "I hate you."

Ji Ning didn't say anything, anyway, Ji Zhile had said this sentence before, more than once.

Ji Zhile walked behind a big tree and said, "Brother, let's hide here."

He poked his head out, looked around, and said, "If Panpan finds us later, we can still circle around the tree, and she won't be able to see us."

Ji Zhile is deeply poisoned by cartoons, Ji Ningyi is not like him, he knows it won't work, but he still hides with his younger brother.

The two children sat on the ground and whispered, Ji Zhile said: "Grandma's house is so fun, I don't want to go back."

Ji Ningyi said: "Grandma's house is not our home, we want to be in our own home."

Ji Zhile didn't understand so much: "But grandma is our grandma."

Ji Ningyi explained: "Grandma lives with grandpa, we live with mom and dad, mom and dad take care of grandpa and grandma, we take care of mom and dad."

Ji Zhile thought for a while and said, "If my mother doesn't punish me for cleaning shoes in the future, I will take care of her."

Because he feels that his mother is still very good, but today is not very good.

Ji Ning frowned slightly: "Whether my mother punishes me or not, I will take care of my mother and live with her all the time."

Ji Zhile was surprised: "But when we grow up, we will live in different places just like our parents and grandparents."

Ji Ning said, "I don't want it."

Ji Zhile felt that he was smarter than his elder brother. He said: "The teacher told us that everyone will grow up and do their own things."

Ji Ningyi still said, "I don't want it."

Ji Zhile tried to convince his brother, but he couldn't think of anything else in his head for a while, so he could only say: "But my mother punished me for cleaning my shoes today, she is not very good."

Hearing what Ji Zhile said, Ji Ning was very angry. It was obviously Ji Zhile who played in the water first, so why did he always like to blame his mother.

"But today, my mother washed your hands for you. She is fine." Ji Ningyi said angrily.

Not only this time, but also many times, Ji Zhile is obviously not a good child, but his mother always pays more attention to him.

Everything from the past flashed through Ji Ning's mind in an instant, and his heart seemed to be blocked by something in an instant, and other words ran out uncontrollably, and every sentence was full of accusations: "You were sick last night because your mother took care of you. Yes, mom also told you a bedtime story. Mom picks you up first every time. Mom bought you a lot of new clothes. You don’t like to eat so many things. You are picky eaters and told your mom many times that you hate her. .”

When it came to the end, Ji Ningyi's voice almost choked up, and he pursed his lips tightly. It turned out that he remembered everything clearly.

Ji Zhile doesn't like to eat carrots, and her mother seldom eats carrots when she finds out. Mom went to pick up Ji Zhile from the kindergarten, and then asked Grandpa Lu to pick him up. Mom told Ji Zhile a story too late, and forgot to say good night to him...

In the end, Ji Ning stood up straight away, his breathing was a little short, and the emotions that had been suppressed in his heart seemed to be opened, because there were only him and Ji Zhile here, so all the bad emotions came out, and Ji Ning was so angry The eyes are also slightly red.

He didn't know why, he was already very obedient and obedient, but his mother always paid more attention to Ji Zhile.

Mingmingji Zhile has so many shortcomings. He is picky eater, loves to act like a baby, and loves to cry. He has said many times that he hates his mother, but her mother still likes him.

He never hated his mother. At first he only wanted his mother to recover from her illness, but after her mother recovered from her illness, he had other children he liked more.

Ji Zhile was frightened, he had never seen his brother so angry, he asked in a low voice: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

He said: "I don't hate my mother anymore, I just don't want to brush my shoes, and I, I like my mother very much."

"I remember it all. My mother made lanterns with me, picked me up from school, and brought me back a gift box of snacks..."

Ji Zhile was still counting the good things his mother had done to him, but Ji Ningyi couldn't take it anymore, he took a deep breath: "I won't play anymore."

After finishing speaking, he walked down, don't want to listen, don't listen, if Zhile is not here, these should be his.

Ji Zhile chased after him with a panicked voice: "Brother, don't go so fast, I can't keep up."

He was really scared, and he didn't want to play the game anymore, he just wanted to catch his brother, but his brother was walking too fast.

The woods were lush with vegetation and there were rocks on the ground. Ji Zhile didn't step on it firmly and fell to the ground with a thud. There was a burning pain in his palm, and tears rolled out of his eyes.

"elder brother."

He raised his head, his eyes were dim with tears, but he saw that Ji Ningyi didn't look back.

As soon as Ji Ning walked outside the woods, the emotions that were surging in his heart just now seemed to calm down a little.

He turned his head and didn't see Ji Zhile. For a moment, panic emerged in his heart. He raised his foot and wanted to go back to find Ji Zhile, but last night's wishful words came to mind again inappropriately.

"It would be nice if my brother disappeared"

But mother will be sad.

But before Zhile was born, only he was there, and my mother was not sad.

Zhile doesn't like mother, he will like mother, and make up Zhile's share, so that mother won't be sad.

Once such thoughts surfaced in my mind, I couldn't get rid of them no matter what.

Ji Ning stood on the lawn, looking at the woods they entered just now, standing straight, his face was slightly flushed by the sun, but his lips were slightly white from the bite of his teeth.

He didn't move, didn't leave or go back to find anyone.

"Ji Ningyi!" Zhu Pan's voice sounded.

Ji Ning turned her head and saw Panpan climbing on the tree, she frowned and asked, "How did you get out?"

As soon as Ji Ning didn't speak, Zhu Pan said, "Come back soon, I'm going to find Ji Zhile."

He hummed, and entered the back garden through the small door, Zhu Pan said: "So there is a small door here, I didn't even find it, Ji Zhile is pretty good at hiding, I haven't found him yet, look Is there him?"

Ji Ning shook his head: "No."
