Chapter 67:
Because brother pei jing is sick
When he first came to Pei Zhen's side, Pei Jinghui often thought of the life with his grandmother.
Grandma doesn't have much money, and doesn't know how to do other jobs, so she can only collect waste products.
They live in a narrow house, but the house is tidy by the grandmother, and the garbage is placed in the small room, which will not hinder their life.
Pei Jing lives with his grandmother, and he is also very good at cleaning the house. After school, he and his grandmother go out to collect waste products, and then sell them.
Every time he sold the money, his grandmother would give him a dollar and let him keep it for himself.
When Pei Jing came to Pei Zhen's side, he had already saved dozens of yuan. When he left, he didn't take the money with him, but quietly put it under the pillow, hoping that grandma would find out.
On the day I left, my grandmother bought him new clothes and told him not to go back. My grandmother said, I am so old, and I will not be able to take care of a child anymore. You and your mother should live a good life and don’t come back. , Coming back is also a drag.
Pei Jing was very sad. He knew that he was too young to do anything. He just listened to the adults and lightened their burden a little.
It was only when Pei Jing touched his pocket in the new city that he found a hundred yuan from his grandmother inside.
Pei Jing knew that grandma liked him too, and if he didn't like him, he wouldn't go to collect scraps every day to let him go to school and give him back money, but he also knew that grandma was getting old, and he was a burden to grandma.
Pei Jing thought, after returning to his grandmother this time, he will use his own money, as long as he can finish elementary school. There are also many people in their village who have finished elementary school and have not studied again. When I came back, I no longer had a childish look on my body, but I was able to make money, and I walked like a fool.
He has made up his mind that he will not let himself be a burden to grandma, as long as grandma wants him.
Seeing Pei Jing's resolute look, Si Tian sighed softly in her heart, and said, "Let's talk about it after you recover, and stay at our house for now, okay? Pei Jing."
Pei Jingjing nodded: "Thank you, Auntie."
"My schoolbag is still at the original home."
"We will call the police. If no one is at home, we will take out all your things." Si Tian said.
Pei Jingjing nodded: "Thank you, Auntie."
Si Tian looked at his pale face, and felt that Pei Jing was too polite and sensible. He was indifferent to people he didn't know well and didn't like to talk, and he was extraordinarily well-behaved with people he knew well. Such a child could easily be hurt.
Si Tian asked Pei Jing to take a good rest, and then told Ji Jiangzhou about it.
The villas in their community have already been sold out, and Pei Zhen can still bring Pei Jing to move in. It must be rented or given by someone else. Now Si Tian thinks that it is best for Pei Zhen not to come back for the rest of her life. She left Pei Jing in the amusement park It's been abandoned. If you see Pei Jing develop well and come back in the future, wouldn't it be disgusting? It's best to solve this matter completely.
After hearing this, Ji Jiangzhou's voice was slightly lowered: "I'll let my assistant investigate, don't worry."
His tone didn't sound too good, and he must also be angry because Pei Jing was abandoned.
Ji Jiangzhou asked his assistant to investigate the property owner of the house next door to them, and then found Yu Bo.
Yu Bo was also quite surprised by Ji Jiangzhou's sudden visit, and asked with a smile, "Why are you free to come to me today?"
Ji Jiangzhou looked at Yu Bo's face, which was somewhat similar to Pei Jing, but Yu Bo had a wife and daughter. As for whether the family was harmonious, Ji Jiangzhou didn't know much about it. They were friends when they were studying, and later entered different fields to work. There is also a lack of connection.
Ji Jiangzhou didn't want Pei Jing to intervene in someone else's family. Pei Jing was just a child without any background, and he was not born out of wedlock. If he returned to Yu's house, his life would not be much better.
So when Yu Bo asked about Pei Jing, Ji Jiangzhou would lie that Pei Jing was the child of Si Tian's relatives.
But now that Pei Jing was abandoned by his own mother, Ji Jiangzhou found Yu Bo, and he asked straight to the point: "You pulled Pei Jing's hair last time, what's the result of the paternity test?"
If Pei Jing hadn't encountered this incident, Ji Jiangzhou wouldn't have asked too much. If Yu Bo didn't recognize Pei Jing, either Pei Jing wasn't his child, or he didn't want to. Whatever the reason, it would be better for Pei Jing not to go back, but now Pei Jing has no other relatives.
Yu Bo smiled: "That kid is quite obedient, I told you all about it."
"He and I are indeed related by blood." Yu Bo said.
Ji Jiangzhou's eyes turned cold, looking at him like ice balls.
"But it's not my child." Yu Bo said quickly, "I was shocked when I saw this child, and thought it shouldn't be. Pei Jing is now six or seven years old. I was still in my twenties. As for reading, no one was killed."
"It's interesting that this kid is still following me secretly, so I did an appraisal, it's really not mine." Yu Bo said, "But I found his real father."
Ji Jiangzhou asked: "Who is it?"
Yu Bo said: "I have an older brother, you know, my father's illegitimate child."
Yu Bo's tone was lightly ridiculed, but his other emotions were gone. After so many years, he had already accepted it, not to mention that his brother was not popular at all.
"Pei Jing is his child, and I also helped Pei Jing and my brother do a paternity test." Yu Bo handed the information to Ji Jiangzhou, shrugging slightly, "It's a good thing, it's quite strange, Pei Jing followed I don't have much blood relationship, but I actually look like me, not like my kidney-deficiency brother."
Yu Bo said again: "But just to remind you, you don't know anything about our family, so you probably don't know that there are three children in my brother's family, two boys and one girl, who are fifteen, thirteen and ten years old. , fighting every day, and during the Chinese New Year, there will be a palace fighting show, which is more exciting than watching a play."
"Besides, how many children does my elder brother have outside? I don't know how many. He estimated that he spent all these years sowing seeds."
"So if Pei Jing recognizes him, whether he can enter Yu's house is one thing, but whether he can grow up well after entering is another matter."
Ji Jiangzhou has heard about the Yu family, but he has never been in such close contact, so he just said indifferently: "Your family is quite wonderful."
Yu Bo laughed: "That's right, you've seen less, and there are even more weird ones."
That is to say, Ji's family is a clean stream, Ji Jiangzhou's parents are, and so is Ji Jiangzhou.
It turned out that when he was studying, his mother always talked about Ji Jiangzhou and asked him to learn more from Ji Jiangzhou. At that time, Yu Bo said, what family is our family. The family environment is completely different, how to learn?
Ji Jiangzhou said, "Thank you."
Yu Bowen: "It's been a few days, why did you think of looking for me today?"
Ji Jiangzhou didn't want to talk about Pei Jing's personal affairs, so he vaguely said, "Something happened."
Yu Bo didn't ask too much: "Then I hope you can solve it as soon as possible."
Ji Jiangzhou left. After knowing Pei Jing's parents, he also had the same idea as Si Tian to adopt Pei Jing, but Ji Jiangzhou considered it realistically.
Pei Jing's character is completely visible, the most important thing is that he can get along well with Zhile and Ning Yi. When Pei Jing was in their house, Ji Zhile was more obedient. This seems to be very appropriate. If Pei Jing King is willing.
After returning home, the assistant also passed the investigation information to Ji Jiangzhou. The property owner of the house next door is Tao Sheng, and Tao Sheng and Pei Jing's mother Pei Zhen are currently in a relationship. They went abroad together yesterday.
When Ji Jiangzhou heard the news, he just found it ridiculous. Pei Zhen went abroad with her lover, but abandoned her son in the amusement park. It is the most unfortunate thing for Pei Jing to have such a mother.
After hearing the news, Si Tian couldn't help sighing: "Pei Jing's life experience is too complicated."
It is also very dramatic, as expected of the hero in the original text, such a **** plot is very in line with the setting of beauty, strength and misery.
"I want to let Pei Jing stay at our house for a few days, and we can talk about it after the matter is clarified." Si Tian said.
Ji Jiangzhou nodded and said yes.
Pei Jing rested at home with a fever, and Ji Ningyi didn't go to school today. He said he wanted to be with Pei Jing. Si Tian knew that the two children had a good relationship, and Ji Ningyi had good grades, so it didn't matter if he missed a day of school.
It's just that Ji Ningyi is not a playful character. In the afternoon, Pei Jing's spirit became better, and he offered to read a book. Ji Ningyi took his schoolbag to Pei Jing's room, and used the bed and desk to share with Pei Jing. Jing read together and taught Pei Jing the English he was going to learn today.
Si Tian was shocked when she saw this scene. When she was a child, she didn't like going to school very much. Once she was sick and went home to rest, and she sang on the road. She thought it was great not to have to go to class.
Ji Ningyi's character is too worry-free.
When it was time to leave school, Si Tian only picked up Ji Zhile.
As soon as Ji Zhile got in the car, he would chatter about what happened in the kindergarten today, he would be silly, he would bring up every little thing that happened and talk about it over and over again.
Then he lay down by the window and looked outside. Ji Zhile now recognizes his way purely by looking at the buildings on both sides. When he realized something was wrong, he immediately turned his head and asked Si Tian: "Mom, aren't we going to pick up brother today?"
Si Tian said, "Not today."
Ji Zhile shook her head quickly, grabbed her arm and dangled it back and forth: "No, I'm going to pick up my brother, it's dangerous for my brother to go home alone."
Kindergarten teacher Wang said that it is very dangerous for children to go out by themselves. There are many cars and bad people outside, so they must go out with their parents. Of course, Ji Zhile completely forgot at this time how he went to pick up bottles with Xiao Yuan without telling his family.
But he also thinks that with Xiao Yuan, the two of them are not considered to be going out alone.
Ji Zhile counted the possible situations with his fingers, Si Tian broke his fantasy and said, "Ning went home early in the morning, so we don't need to pick it up now."
"Why?" Ji Zhile raised a puzzled face, "Brother obviously gets out of school later than us."
Si Tian said, "Ning Yi went home this morning."
Ji Zhile's eyes widened, how could it be!
It was so difficult for him to get up today, and he begged his father not to go to school, but he was coldly rejected. Obviously, his brother is already in elementary school, so how could he not go to school!
Si Tian said to Ji Zhile: "Brother Pei Jing is also at our house, because brother Pei Jing is sick, Ning Yi is his good friend and takes care of him at home."
Ji Zhile clarified the relationship, and said in a crisp voice: "It's because brother Pei Jing is sick, and brother is his good friend to take care of him, so he doesn't need to go to school, right?"
Si Tian always felt that this logic was a bit problematic, but she didn't want to tell Ji Zhile the truth. First, she was worried that Ji Zhile would think about whether she would be thrown away. Second, she wanted to help Pei Jing keep a secret, so she said, "Hmmm " Twice.
Ji Zhile nodded: "I understand Mom."
Si Tian touched Ji Zhile's slightly curly hair: "Brother Pei Jing will be at our house for many days recently, living with us, would Zhile be willing?"
Ji Zhile nodded quickly: "Mom, can Brother Pei Jing sleep with me?"
Ji Zhile still can't forget the day he slept with Pei Jing, Pei Jing not only woke him up, but also helped him fold the quilt and clothes, he liked it so much.
Si Tian said: "But you are sleeping with Ning Yi now."
Ji Zhile thought for a while and made a concession: "Brother can sleep with me today, and brother Pei Jing can sleep with me tomorrow, that's fair."
Ji Zhile knew that it was because he was too popular and had to sleep with many people. He also liked his brother very much, but his brother would not help him with things.
Si Tian looked at her greedy young son and said, "Brother Pei Jing is sick now, so he can't sleep with you yet."
"Also, brother Pei Jing's mother is not at home, so Zhile don't ask brother Pei Jing about his mother, it will make brother Pei Jing very sad."
Ji Zhile thought for a while, if his mother was not at home, he would be very sad, so he nodded solemnly and said solemnly: "I won't ask, I will take good care of Brother Pei Jing!"
Si Tian said, "Okay."
She felt that Ji Zhile, who was seriously talking about taking care of others and sleeping with others, seemed like a little sweetheart, very cute.
As soon as he got home, Ji Zhile found that his father was also there. He rushed over to Ji Jiangzhou's arms without taking off his schoolbag, leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Dad, how long will it take for the skirt and lamp we bought to arrive?"
Today's mother came to pick him up without a skirt, Ji Zhile hoped that the skirt he bought would arrive soon, so that her mother could wear it to pick him up, she must be the most beautiful mother in the whole kindergarten.
There is also a desk lamp, and he really wants the little airplane toy as a gift.
Ji Jiangzhou knew that Ji Zhile's enthusiasm was definitely for this matter. Ever since he placed an order for the dress and table lamp, Ji Zhile had come to ask him every day, but the delivery of these two items was very slow.
Ji Jiangzhou took a look at his phone and said, "It hasn't been shipped yet."
The skirt is a pre-sale item, and so is the table lamp. There are really many pre-sales for online shopping.
"Okay." Ji Zhile was a little regretful, and urged, "Dad, remember not to tell others."
Ji Jiangzhou nodded, and has been helping his youngest son keep a secret.
Ji Zhile took off his schoolbag, threw it to him, and ran upstairs: "I'm going to see brother Pei Jing."
"Stop!" Si Tian's voice came from behind.
Ji Zhile's small body froze, then turned around, her round eyes were bright, and she simply asked, "What's wrong with Mom?"
Si Tian said, "Put your schoolbag in your room and don't throw things around."
Ji Zhile puffed up her cheeks: "Understood."
Then he came down with reluctant steps, picked up his schoolbag from Ji Jiangzhou's side, and looked at Ji Jiangzhou deliberately, the implication was obvious, why didn't Dad speak for me?
Ji Jiangzhou avoided his younger son's gaze.
After Ji Zhile picked up her schoolbag and went upstairs, Si Tian said to Ji Jiangzhou, "Can you take care of your son?"
Ji Jiangzhou nodded: "Okay."
Si Tian felt that he was perfunctory, because Ji Jiangzhou was very conniving towards Ji Zhile, so she said to him, "Ji Zhile will easily grow into a **** after you behave like this, and he is the typical vicious male supporting role in novels."
Ji Jiangzhou said, "No."
Si Tian: "Why are you so confident?"
If it is Ji Ningyi, she still believes it, because now Ji Ningyi has shown excellent qualities of strong self-control, but if Ji Zhile doesn't wake him up, he can probably sleep until twelve o'clock, and he is still bullying, Extremely fond of cheating.
Ji Jiangzhou said: "He listens to you very much."
He also used the money from selling funny eggs and the New Year's money to buy skirts for Si Tian. As for the desk lamp he bought for him, it was purely because Ji Zhile fell in love with the toy airplane, and it was not completely sincere.
The corner of Si Tian's lips curled up: "Well, then you have to please me more now, so that when Ji Zhile grows up, I will let him treat you better."
"Yeah." Ji Jiangzhou looked at her with a smile in his black eyes, "I will."
"Then what is good, you said I will study hard."
Si Tian blinked, and said unequivocally: "I heard that the best way to treat a person is to make money, of course I just heard."
The corners of Ji Jiangzhou's lips raised slightly, with a faint smile: "Okay."
Ten minutes later, Si Tian's mobile phone received a new text message from the bank: [Your card ending in xxxx earned RMB 1,000,000.00 on x-month-x]
Si Tian was shocked on the spot, counted carefully several times, and confirmed that it was one million, her hands were shaking.
Ji Jiangzhou is so majestic!
At this time, Ji Zhile had already put away her schoolbag and went straight to other rooms to find Pei Jing, and finally saw Pei Jing in the room next to Ji Ningyi.
"Brother Pei Jing!" Ji Zhile rushed up excitedly.
Then seeing the desk on the bed and the books and pens on it, Ji Zhile was shocked: "Why do you still want to study when you are sick?"
Ji Ningyi said: "Because today is Monday, I have to study even at home."
In fact, they only studied for less than an hour. Pei Jing didn't sleep much last night, and was making up for sleep during the day. After waking up, he asked Ji Ning to read together.
Pei Jing knew the importance of going to school, because his grandmother often told him that studying hard was the only way out, and that he would be able to find a job after being admitted to university.
Although Pei Jing had already planned to return to his grandmother and go out to work with other people to earn money after finishing elementary school, Pei Jing still wanted to finish elementary school well, and nodded accordingly: "Study is very important."
Ji Zhile's good mood suddenly disappeared a little, and he pointed to the clock and said, "But school is over now, so you don't have to study."
"Okay." Ji Ning picked up the things on the desk.
Seeing Pei Jing's appearance, Ji Zhile immediately ran to get a glass of water and handed it to him: "Brother Pei Jing drinks water."
When Pei Jing took the cup, Ji Zhile asked, "Brother Pei Jing, why are you sick?"
Pei Jing's eyelashes drooped: "Because it was very cold last night, I caught a cold."
Ji Zhile expressed understanding: "It's okay, I've had a cold too, it's just a little..."
Ji Zhile rolled his eyes and changed his words: "This is very serious, you need to rest well, brother Pei Jing let me take care of you."
Ji Zhile recalled how he was taken care of when he was sick, and immediately ran to his room, brought a dry handkerchief, folded it and put it on Pei Jing's forehead, and said, "Be good, you can't I'm going to ask Auntie if she has any anti-fever stickers."
Pei Jing hurriedly pulled Ji Zhile back: "No need for fever-reducing stickers, I've had an infusion today, and I'm already much better."
Pei Jing returned the handkerchief to Ji Zhile: "I don't need this one either."
But he felt warm in his heart because of Ji Zhile's actions. Although Ji Zhile was only three and a half years old, he was innocent, kind and caring.
Ji Zhile held the handkerchief and looked at Pei Jing: "Okay."
He asked, "Brother Pei Jing, do you think I take good care of you?"
Pei Jing naturally nodded: "Very good."
Ji Zhile laughed: "Brother Pei Jing told my mother that I won't let my brother take care of you tomorrow, let me take care of you."
Pei Jing said, "I don't need anyone to take care of me. I have to go to school tomorrow."
Ji Zhile quickly shook his head: "No, you are seriously ill and cannot go to school, and you need my care."
Pei Jing said: "No need, I know that Zhile is kind and kind, but I don't care."
"It's related." Ji Zhile said, "I'm going to take care of you. I'll go tell my mother."
After finishing speaking, Ji Zhile ran out to find Si Tian: "Mom!"
He said excitedly: "Can I take care of brother Pei Jing at home tomorrow? I just poured water for brother Pei Jing and rubbed his forehead. Brother Pei Jing said that I took good care of him."
Seeing Ji Zhile's enthusiastic appearance, Si Tian was extremely pleased, thinking that Ji Zhile was a warm-hearted and kind child, and said, "I know that Zhile is very kind, but there's no need for it. Auntie will take care of Pei Jing, and Pei Jing I will go to school tomorrow when I feel better."
Ji Zhile said: "The cold is very serious, and it won't be better for a day. My brother will take care of Brother Pei Jing at home today, and I will take care of Brother Pei Jing at home tomorrow. It's fair."
Si Tian sensed something was wrong from Ji Zhile's eager words, looked at Ji Zhile and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Ji Zhile said: "I want to take care of Brother Pei Jing at home!"
Si Tian thought about this carefully, and she realized it. She remembered that she told Ji Zhile in the car that Ning Yi went home this morning because Pei Jing was sick and needed someone to take care of her.
But Si Tian still wanted to believe that Ji Zhile was purely trying to help others, so she said, "If you really want to take care of Pei Jing..."
Ji Zhile looked at her with bright eyes, and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, thinking very much.
"Then you can take care of him when you get home from school tomorrow."
Ji Zhile shook her head: "I want to take care of Brother Pei Jing at home, so I won't go to school."
This eager look betrayed his thoughts completely, Si Tian said: "Don't even think about it, I still have to go to school tomorrow."
"Why, brother didn't go today." Ji Zhile was not convinced.
Si Tian said, "But brother is studying at home today."
Ji Zhile: "I can also study at home."
Si Tian smiled and said: "Okay, since you have such an idea, you can let me supervise your study tomorrow, or follow the school's timetable. You can't be late and leave early, and I will watch you."
Ji Zhile was silent...
Various thoughts swirled in my head, and I still felt that it would be better in school, at least I could play with my classmates after class.
"Mom, can I really not ask for a day off?" Ji Zhile finally raised his head and looked at her with big watery eyes, looking forward to it.
Si Tian shook her head, her tone was cold: "No."
Ji Zhile left very disappointed, not at all the elation that came to her just now.
Seeing this scene, Si Tian strangely thought of herself who didn't want to go to school when she was a child. She looked similar to Ji Zhile, and she suddenly got goosebumps.
No, can genetics still do this?
Firstly, she is not Ji Zhile's biological mother, secondly, she did not bring Ji Zhile up, and thirdly, she never said anything to Ji Zhile about not wanting to go to school.
Can this inheritance still travel through time and space and genes?
After Ji Zhile's dream of not going to school was shattered, he was not very enthusiastic about taking care of Pei Jing. Pei Jing thought it would be better this way. He knew his body well. It's much better, and I can go to school tomorrow, and I don't need anyone to take care of it. Ji Zhile is too enthusiastic, and Pei Jing is not very good at refusing, so it will be a little troublesome.
Because Pei Jing is still in the stage of catching a cold, Ji Ningyi and Ji Zhile still sleep together at night, and Pei Jing is alone in the room.
While sleeping, Ji Zhile was still reluctant to part with Pei Jing who was about to leave: "Brother Pei Jing gets better soon, you can sleep with me."
Pei Jing said: "Okay, I will get better soon."
Ji Ningyi and Ji Zhile had an upper bunk and a lower bunk, and when they were going to sleep, Ji Ningyi said, "Zhile, do you really want to sleep with Pei Jing?"
"Yes." Ji Zhile said, "But brother, if you help me fold the quilt and clothes tomorrow, and help me pack my schoolbag, I will sleep with you in the future, not others."
Ji Zhile felt that he had sacrificed a little, so he needed Ji Ning to help him do more.
Ji Ning was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "Then you can sleep with Pei Jing after he recovers."
Ji Zhile pouted, not very happy: "It's just a little thing."
"You have to do your own thing."
Ji Zhile didn't want to talk to Ji Ningyi anymore, so she turned over and pulled up the quilt to cover her ears. I really hope that Brother Pei Jing gets well soon.
Pei Jing's things were still kept in the original house but not taken out, because the house has an owner and no one can enter it at will.
Ji Ning lent Pei Jing his school uniform, and shared textbooks with Pei Jing when they were in school.
Si Tian told the general situation to the school teacher, and the teacher also took good care of Pei Jing, especially Teacher Luo.
As early as what happened in the office last time, Teacher Luo had a lot of dissatisfaction with Pei Jing's mother, and felt even more distressed for Pei Jing. It is the most pitiful thing for a child to not be able to choose his own origin.
Although Pei Jing's English score is not very good now, it's because of his poor foundation. But Pei Jing is serious and hardworking, can keep up with other subjects, and he can master a little bit in make-up classes. He is a smart boy, and the teacher likes it very much. child.
The teacher's attitude is clear to the students. Although Pei Jing still doesn't like to talk to unfamiliar classmates as before, some classmates have already taken the initiative to ask him to make friends.
The three children lived together, and there was no conflict. The main source of the conflict was Ji Zhile, and Pei Jing and Ji Ning were very tolerant of Ji Zhile.
The competitiveness formed between the three children is more than that of the two children. In addition, Pei Jing did not grow up with Ji Zhile. When he saw that Pei Jing did well, Ji Zhile would still fight. It's not like when he was with Ji Ningyi, if his elder brother did better than him, then he would perform poorly, anyway, I'm used to it.
Now Ji Zhile still has room for encouragement, although I don't know how long it will last, but the current situation is gratifying.
This kind of life made Pei Jing feel a little dreamy, great, everything is getting better, but when Si Tian took them out for a walk after dinner, Pei Jing still quietly glanced at the former home next door.
It's not reluctance, it's just that all his things are inside, including the 3,000 yuan he saved. For Pei Jing now, that is his greatest wealth and reliance.
It's just that the door is tightly closed, and Pei Jing can't open it without a key.
A few days later, when Pei Jing came back from school, he habitually glanced at the place where he used to live as usual, and was surprised to find that the door was wide open.
Ji Zhile also found out, and asked naively: "Brother Pei Jing, is your mother back?"
He didn't know anything yet, he just thought that Pei Jing's mother came back after leaving.
Si Tian also saw it, and said to Pei Jing, "Go and have a look."
Pei Jing pursed his lips, clenched his fists tightly, and approached step by step.
With a "bang", something was thrown out and landed at Pei Jing's feet.
He looked down and found that it was the pillow and quilt he had slept on.
