Chapter 55:

Does mom have other babies?

Hearing Ji Ningyi's words, Ji Zhile's originally happy expression suddenly changed, his eyes widened, and he asked Ji Ningyi: "Did mom call you a baby?"

As soon as Ji Ning saw Ji Zhile's surprised look, a subtle emotion arose in his heart, and he nodded: "You called me like that two months ago."

For two months, Ji Zhile counted on his fingers, but he did not reach two months after counting the fingers and knuckles.

In an instant, the good mood that Ji Zhile had maintained for a long time disappeared.

As soon as Ji Ning saw Ji Zhile's slightly depressed eyes, he comforted him, "Now my mother has called you too."

Ji Zhile muttered: "Two months..."

He didn't quite know the time of two months in his mind, but he knew that it was a long time ago, and it turned out that his mother called him brother like this so long ago.

Just in time, Si Tian knocked on the door and came in, holding a story book in her hand, and it was time for bedtime story every night.

I saw two brothers sitting together, one big and one small, with similar facial features but different in subtleties. One was handsome and the other was cute. When they heard the knock on the door, they both raised their heads to look at her. They had the same watery eyes, and they looked very obedient.

Si Tian was cute for a second, and then asked them: "Can I tell the story from "Grimm's Fairy Tales" tonight?"

Ji Zhile, who has always been very picky, nodded. Si Tian thought it was due to letting Ji Zhile tell the story last night. Now that the story is not easy to tell, she won't be picky.

As usual, the three of them sat on the same bed, and one sat beside Si Tian, ​​next to her.

After Si Tian finished telling the story, Ji Zhile fell asleep.

Ji Ningyi said: "Mom, I will sleep with Zhile tonight."

Si Tian was very happy to see the two children reconciled, but asked again: "Will Zhile disturb you when you sleep at night?"

Ji Ningyi said: "No, it's just that sometimes I want to accompany him to the bathroom."

Si Tian smiled, she usually talks about how brave she is, but in the end she has to be accompanied when she goes to the bathroom at night.

"Ning, go to bed early."

Si Tian put Ji Zhile on the bed, but as soon as he let go of Ji Zhile's hand, Ji Zhile woke up. He opened his dazed eyes and looked at Si Tian.

"What?" It's a strange thing that Ji Zhile hasn't fallen asleep today.

There was also sleepiness in Ji Zhile's voice, he called softly: "Mom."

With a milky voice and a glutinous voice, Si Tianxin softened, and touched Ji Zhile's cheek: "What's wrong?"

Then she heard Ji Zhile ask in the same voice: "Which babies does mother have?"

Si Tian was stunned for a moment, before she understood what Ji Zhile meant, she heard him ask again: "My brother is a baby, and so am I. Does mom have any other babies?"

Si Tian:?

She was dumbfounded.

Ji Ningyi, who was on the upper bunk, naturally also heard Ji Zhile's voice. He immediately understood what Ji Zhile meant, his face turned slightly hot, and he explained in a low voice: "Mom, tonight Zhile said you called him baby, and then I Tell Zhile, my mother called me that too..."

In fact, I was a little secretly happy at the time, because my mother called him that before.

It's just that he is a little shy to say it in front of his mother now. He is more than three years older than Zhile, and he is already in the first grade, so he still compares this with Zhile.

After Ji Ning's explanation, Si Tian finally understood what Ji Zhile said, and she was a little embarrassed. Can this illusion of being like a scumbag go away? She didn't call baby to every child.

Ji Zhile grabbed her clothes and asked stubbornly, "Does mom have any other babies?"

"It's gone, it's just you and Ning one or two." Si Tian said quickly.

Ji Zhile said, "Okay, my brother and I only have one mother."

He loosened Si Tian's clothes, his eyelids drooped again, a little sleepy: "Good night, Mom."

"Good night."

Si Tian turned off the light and left the room.

After walking out, Si Tian was still troubled by the strange emotion just now for quite a while.

Ji Zhile's confused questioning made her like calling everyone baby, she didn't dare to look at Ji Ningyi.

Si Tian sighed, she was entangled in even a title issue, being a mother is really difficult.

When the alarm clock rang the next morning, Ji Zhile turned over and continued to sleep as usual, but the familiar voice kept calling in his ears.

"Zhile, wake up soon."

Repeated many times, Ji Zhile finally opened his eyes, saw Ji Ningyi, then closed them again, and began to act like a spoiled child like Pei Jingzai did yesterday: "I'll sleep for another five minutes."

But Ji Ningyi didn't spoil him like Pei Jing: "When the alarm clock rings, you can't sleep, and sleeping for five minutes will only make you sleepier."

Five minutes of sleep can't solve any problems, in Ji Ningyi's view.

"Just five minutes." Ji Zhile begged.

"Don't procrastinate, get up soon."

Ji Zhile didn't listen, pulled up the quilt, buried her head in it, and pretended not to hear.

But the next moment, the quilt was lifted, and Ji Zhile's arm was pulled with both hands, pulling him up.

Now all the drowsiness is gone, Ji Zhile frowned: "You don't want to for five minutes, I hate it to death."

Ji Ning didn't feel sad when he heard what Ji Zhile hated. He thought his mother was right, Zhile just likes to hate people, but after a while, he won't hate people anymore.

"Change first or wash first?" he asked.

Ji Zhile didn't answer him. He picked up the clothes from the bedside table and began to change, muttering: "Brother Pei Jing will let me sleep for another five minutes, brother Pei Jing won't lift my quilt, Pei Jing Brother Jing will also help me fold the quilt and clothes... Brother Pei Jing is better."

Ji Ning frowned slightly, and tried to reason with Ji Zhile: "But Zhile, your alarm clock is ringing, and this is the alarm clock you set yourself."

Ji Zhile, who was still awake, didn't listen to him at all, and kept mumbling: "I want brother Pei Jing to sleep with me."

Ji Ning walked into the bathroom silently, washed his face and brushed his teeth. He saw Ji Zhile's toothbrush on the sink, and there was a cup and toothbrush next to it. It belonged to Pei Jing. The day before yesterday, Pei Jing and Ji Zhile Sleeping together, mother prepared a toothbrush and a cup for Pei Jing.

As soon as Ji Ning looked away, it was obvious that he was Zhile's elder brother, and he grew up with Zhile, and they lived together for a long time.

Why did Zhile like Pei Jing even more after Pei Jingcai slept with Zhile all night?

Ji Zhile didn't wake up until it was time to eat, he had completely forgotten that he had stepped on Ning Yi and Pei Jing just now.

Si Tian asked, "How much milk would Zhile want to drink today?"

Ji Zhile stretched out a finger: "One cup and one sip."

Si Tian: "You drank two glasses yesterday, do you want to try again today?"

Ji Zhile shook her head: "No, I won't try."

Si Tian felt a little regretful, thinking that Ji Zhile, who was not picky eaters and ate fast yesterday, might not come back again. Sure enough, more children will trigger effective competition. Only Ji Zhile and Ji Ning are one or two people. Ji Zhile It has become habitual.

In the morning, my aunt made steamed buns. Ji Zhile likes to eat stuffing. He held the buns with both hands, broke them apart from the middle, and then took a bite, starting to eat from the middle, and finally only the buns on both sides were left in his hands. Skin.

From an objective point of view, the buns made by Auntie are much thinner than those sold outside, but Ji Zhile just loves stuffing.

Looking at the skin of his two hands, Ji Zhile glanced at his mother cautiously. Seeing that his mother was eating, he hesitated and took another bite of the skin. Throwing his skin in the trash can, just as soon as he moved his hand, Si Tian glanced over, very oppressive: "What's wrong?"

Ji Zhile shook her hand: "I, I want to drink water."

Si Tian smiled: "Then drink it, mom thought Zhile would throw away the bun skin."

Ji Zhile said, "I don't have one."

"That's right, Zhile was helpful and kind to help her classmates yesterday, how could she do such a thing as throwing away the bun skin?"

Ji Zhile stuffed the steamed stuffed bun skin into his mouth two or three times, his cheeks bulging, and his voice was vague: "Yes, I won't."

After swallowing, Ji Zhile still felt a little guilty, and didn't dare to look at Si Tian.

He thought that his mother had really misunderstood him, so he didn't want to be helpful, and he really wanted to throw away the bun skin.

Why do good buns have skins, if only stuffing would be fine. Ji Zhile thought so.

When going to school, Ji Ning went to call Pei Jing as usual, and as soon as Pei Jing entered, Ji Zhile said happily: "Brother Pei Jing, good morning, the buns we ate this morning."

Ji Ning took out a few steamed buns and gave them to Pei Jing: "Auntie made a lot, and we didn't finish eating, so Pei Jing can help us."

This is what his mother taught him to say, and it would be easier for Pei Jing to accept it.

Pei Jing took it and said, "Thank you, Ning Yi."

Ji Zhile watched Pei Jing eat the steamed stuffed bun. Unlike him, Pei Jing didn't break open the bun and start eating from the inside, but ate it from the edge to the other side bite by bite, and finished it completely.

Ji Zhile leaned close to Pei Jing's ear, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Pei Jing, do you like to eat bun skin?"

Pei Jing didn't know why Ji Zhile asked this, but the steamed buns made by Ning's family were much better than the outside ones, and even the skin of the steamed stuffed buns smelled like wheat. Pei Jingjing nodded, "I like it."

Ji Zhile's eyes lit up immediately, and he whispered to Pei Jing again: "Brother Pei Jing will come to our house for breakfast next Thursday, and we will also eat steamed buns then."

He had an idea in his mind. Since Pei Jing likes to eat bun skins, he would eat stuffing and leave the skins for Pei Jing, so that his mother would not find out that it was a waste. This is really a good idea.

As soon as Ji Ning sat next to him, he couldn't hear what Ji Zhile was whispering to Pei Jing, but he saw that they were very close.

One is his good friend and the other is his own younger brother, but at this moment Ji Ningyi is a little melancholy.

Ji Ningyi and Pei Jing went to school together. On the way, Ji Ningyi said: "Pei Jing, Zhile likes you very much."

Pei Jing didn't notice Ji Ningyi's true emotions. When Ji Ningyi wanted to cover it up, no one could find out. Pei Jing said, "I like Zhile very much, too."

Ji Ning was silent for a while.

Pei Jing said, "Ning Yi, do you want to eat fried chestnuts?"

When the school is over, there is an uncle riding a tricycle to sell sugar-fried chestnuts. The taste is fragrant and strong, which often attracts many students.

Ji Ning hadn't tasted it before, so he asked, "What's the taste?"

"It's soft and waxy, very sweet, and delicious." Pei Jing had eaten it before, and it was bought from him by his grandmother when he was a child. He thought it was expensive, but his grandmother said that it was enough to eat less, and he had to taste it.

"I'll treat you to dinner when school is over today." Pei Jing squeezed the money in his pocket and said, "My mother gave me the money yesterday."

As soon as Ji Ning knew that Pei Jing had no money, he shook his head: "No need."

Pei Jing's tone was stubborn: "I have enough money to buy it, and I want you to try it too."

"Okay, thank you, Pei Jing." Ji Ningyi felt that the melancholy in his heart disappeared a lot.

During self-study in the morning, Ji Ningyi was still in charge of discipline, but now he looks a lot better, Teacher Luo gave him a lot of power.

Yu Xi's small groups gathered again. After all, the first grade didn't have much hatred, but they didn't dare to tell Ji Ningyi that he was going to sue like before.

When school was over, Ji Ningyi and Pei Jing stood at the front. Pei Jing said that this way they could leave the school as soon as possible and then go to buy sugar-fried chestnuts, so that Si Tian and Ji Zhile would not be kept waiting.

When Ji Ning heard Pei Jing talk about fried chestnuts, he was also a little greedy. Pei Jing's description was so delicious.

Teacher Luo led them to the end of school, and Pei Jing took Ji Ningyi's hand and got out of the crowd. He was like a slippery loach, and he drilled very quickly. Ji Ningyi always followed order and manners Yes, this is the first time such an experience.

Passing through the crowded group of parents picking up their children, Pei Jing took Ji Ningyi to the front of the fried chestnut cart, and Ji Ningyi immediately smelled a stronger aroma of chestnuts.

Pei Jing said, "Uncle, I want ten yuan to fry chestnuts."

"okay."

The uncle lifted the lid, put it into the bag with a small silver shovel, and then weighed it.

At this time, a familiar and provocative boy's voice came from the side: "Ji Ning, Pei Jing, you are shopping at the school gate, I want to tell Teacher Luo!"

Yu Xi looked at them with burning eyes, with an excited expression, as if he finally caught Ji Ningyi's mistake.

Pei Jing said: "Teacher Luo just doesn't let us buy the three-no products at the school gate, not fried chestnuts."

Yu Xi didn't quite understand the real meaning of this three-no product, but he just heard from the teacher, and now seeing Pei Jing's swearing, he was a little uncertain.

"Fried chestnuts are nutritious, and eating them is good for your health. Teacher Luo didn't let us buy fried skewers, and we didn't buy them." Pei Jing continued.

"You can go and tell Mr. Luo that I'm not afraid. On the contrary, you will only sue. You'll be ashamed." Pei Jing hit Yu Xi with what Yu Xi said.

Sure enough, Yu Xi blushed and jumped up: "I don't like suing the teacher as much as Ji Ningyi!"

"You guys still blame Ji Ningyi for talking yourself. Teacher Luo asked Ji Ningyi to take care of discipline, otherwise Ji Ningyi wouldn't want to control you. You guys like to talk and also affect other students. Many students don't want to be at the same table with you. , Yu Xi, don't you know?"

Of course Yu Xi knew, but which kid would admit that he was not popular.

"Do you want to tell the teacher that we bought fried chestnuts because you haven't eaten them?" Pei Jing asked again.

Yu Xi was fried now, and he didn't eat it, because his mother refused to buy it, saying it was unhygienic, but what was unhygienic, Pei Jing said it was nutritious, Yu Xi said angrily: "I Let my mother buy it for me!"

The chestnut seller appraised the chestnuts, handed them to Pei Jing, and said with a smile: "My kid is right. Stir-fried chestnuts in sugar can nourish Qi and nourish the spleen, strengthen the stomach and thicken the intestines. Eating them is good for the body."

Pei Jing handed over ten yuan: "Thank you uncle."

The uncle scooped up a few more chestnuts and put them into the bag they had paid for, and said, "I'll give you a few more for you to eat."

Pei Jing took Ji Ningyi's hand and left, taught Ji Ningyi how to peel chestnuts, and then gave Ji Ningyi the first one he peeled.

As soon as Ji Ning put it in his mouth, his eyes lit up and he nodded: "It's really delicious!"

Pei Jing said, "Will Auntie and Zhile like it?"

Ji Ning nodded: "Of course."

When they passed by, they heard Yu Xi's voice begging her mother to buy fried chestnuts in sugar. Yu Xi's mother loved the child very much, but she insisted that the trouble came from her mouth and she would not let Yu Xi buy it.

Hearing what Pei Jing said, Yu Xi couldn't bear it, begged loudly but was powerless, and was finally dragged away by his mother forcefully, causing the classmates around to look at him several times.

Ji Ning said, "Yu Xitai's mouth is broken."

Pei Jing said: "Like flies, very annoying, but this kind of person is the most timid."

Ji Ning felt strange, because he felt that Yu Xi was not timid, and he said how could he be timid when he was criticized for speaking in class.

"He is most afraid of the teacher, and he dare not sue the teacher while talking about it."

The two children were talking while eating chestnuts, and then they heard Si Tian say hello.

As soon as Ji Ning ran over, he raised the chestnut in his hand and said, "Mom, Pei Jing invited me to eat."

Pei Jing also walked to Si Tian's side. He was a little shy, thinking that chestnuts were cheap compared to what Si Tian gave him, but this was already the best thing he could give.

He mustered up the courage to ask, "Auntie, do you want to try it?"

Si Tian said, "Okay."

"I also like to eat it when I'm studying, it's soft and glutinous."

As soon as he heard about eating, Ji Zhile poked his head out of the car window: "What are you eating?"

He had a sharp nose and immediately smelled it: "I want it, I want it too!"

It's just that he doesn't know how to peel the shell, so Pei Jing helped him, and Ji Zhile ate it with crooked eyes, "Thank you brother Pei Jing, brother Pei Jing is the best."

He was one of those cheap kids who could be coaxed away with a chicken leg.

As soon as Ji Ning heard the words, he glanced at Ji Zhile, and saw Ji Zhile rubbing against Pei Jing again, and said coquettishly, "Brother Pei Jing, help me peel another one."

The corners of Pei Jing's lips raised slightly: "Okay."

He is very happy that the things he bought are liked by everyone.

The atmosphere is warm and lively.

Si Tian said, "Pei Jing, is your mother at home today?"

After hearing Ji Ning say that Pei Jing's mother gave him money, she wondered if Pei Jing's mother would leave.

Sure enough, Pei Jing shook his head: "My mother said she won't be going home for a few days."

Si Tian smiled: "That's great."

"Pei Jing can come to our house for dinner tonight."

It just so happens that there is fried carrot shreds tonight, which can stimulate Ji Zhile by the way.

Ji Zhile said, "Yes!"

He looked at Si Tian: "Then mom, can we still eat fried skewers?"

"Of course not." Si Tian said.

Yesterday was an exception.

Ji Zhile thought about it hard, but it's a pity that there are no cool things to do for her classmates at school today. He looked around, took out a chestnut, and peeled it off with his hands just like Pei Jing did just now, but the peeling was very imperfect. He held it in both hands and handed it to Si Tian flatteringly: "Mom, let me peel the chestnut for you." shell."

Ji Zhile blinked with anticipation: "Then can we eat fried skewers now?"

Yesterday, I helped my classmates peel the egg shells and ate fried skewers. In the same way, I helped my mother peel the chestnut shells today, and I can eat them too.
