Chapter 72:
It's so pitiful, no one sleeps with you
When Pei Jing left, Ji Ning wiped his tears with his hand, Ji Zhile grabbed his hand tightly and said, "Brother, don't cry."
Ji Ning looked down at Ji Zhile, Ji Zhile looked at him with a pair of bright eyes, when the eyes collided, Ji Zhile smiled at him.
Ji Ning clenched his hands tightly and said, "Mom, let's go back."
On the way back to the car, Ji Zhile sneaked a few glances at Ji Ningyi, but was caught by Ji Ningyi, who asked him, "What do you always look at me for?"
Ji Zhile asked: "Brother, will you still cry?"
After leaving the station, Ji Ningyi's mood has improved, and he has not cried for a long time. He is not a child who likes to cry. From the time he can remember to now, the number of times he has cried is very small. Therefore, when Ji Zhile asked, Ji Ning Yi was a little embarrassed, and his voice lowered slightly: "No more."
Ji Zhile said: "It's okay, crying is not a big deal, brother can cry whatever he wants."
Ji Ning's ears burned up: "No more."
Ji Zhile opened his hands and tried to hug Ji Ningyi's shoulders, but he was too small, and he couldn't wrap around Ji Ningyi's shoulders despite his efforts, so he could only hug him reluctantly, and patted his hands behind him. With the tone of a little adult, he said: "It's okay, brother, you can cry, my mother and I will not laugh at you."
As soon as Ji Zhile finished speaking, Si Tian let out an uncontrollable smile from her throat.
Ji Ning's ears became hotter immediately, he pushed Ji Zhile away in a panic, covered his hot ears with his hands and lowered his head not to look at anyone.
Ji Zhile immediately turned his head to look at Si Tian, frowned slightly, and seriously accused: "Mom, how can you laugh?"
Looking at this posture, it really has the demeanor of a kindergarten teacher.
Si Tian said, "I'm sorry, I was wrong."
"However, I agree with Zhile's statement that children can cry freely without shame."
She laughed just now because she thought Ji Zhile's actions were too funny. He tried to hug Ji Ningyi, like a hamster trying to hug a kitten. He tried so hard, but his arms were not long enough, and his hands couldn't reach together. .
A small one, when he said this, he still looked good, and he patted his back to comfort him like an adult, which is very contrasting, especially Si Tian knows Ji Zhile's character, and knows that he is usually a childish ghost , it's even more ridiculous.
Ji Ning hummed: "I won't cry now."
Ji Zhile said: "It's okay, brother can cry when he wants to."
Ji Ningyi: "I don't want to."
Ji Zhile: "You clearly thought about it just now."
Ji Ning's ears were burning in the palm of his hand, and he said, "I really don't want to."
Ji Zhile didn't believe it, she bent down and looked over at Ji Ningyi.
As soon as Ji Ning didn't understand what he was going to do, he just blinked. Although the eye sockets were still slightly red, there were no tears anymore.
"Okay." Ji Zhile withdrew his head and sat in his seat again.
Usually, he was the only one who cried many times, and his brother couldn't do it. Finally, his brother also cried. Of course, Ji Zhile wanted to watch more, but he didn't expect his brother to cry so fast. Ji Zhile, who hadn't seen enough, was a little disappointed.
As the car was driving, Ji Zhile's hand, which was playing with the hem of his clothes, was gently held.
Ji Zhile turned his head to look, and Ji Ning said softly, "Zhile, thank you for your comfort."
Ji Ningyi thinks that his younger brother is very good, sometimes like a little sun, making everyone around him feel warm.
Ji Zhile shook his legs and said, "You're welcome."
What Ji Zhile learned is that as long as others thank you, no matter whether he has done it or not, he should say no thanks, which is polite.
In the afternoon, Ji Ningyi received a call from Pei Jing.
Came over the phone, Pei Jing's voice was slightly different from what he heard in reality.
"Ning Yi, I'm already home." Pei Jing's voice was very brisk, "Grandma grows a lot of vegetables that can be eaten, and I will go out with grandma to find vegetables for dinner later."
Hearing the voice of his good friend, Ji Ningyi's mood also rose.
Ji Zhile heard it, and immediately asked, "Is that Brother Pei Jing? I want to talk to Brother Pei Jing too!"
Ji Ning handed the watch to Ji Zhile, and Ji Zhile immediately asked, "Brother Pei Jing, is your family having fun? Let me tell you, my brother cried for a long time when he saw you leave."
As soon as Ji Ning heard this sentence, his expression changed immediately, and he wanted to **** the watch back, but Ji Zhile slipped away from him very nimbly.
Ji Ning said loudly: "Not long!"
Why does Ji Zhile have to tell others everything?
As soon as Ji Ning felt very embarrassed to let Pei Jing know about this, he felt a little hot now.
Ji Zhile said: "Okay, but it's been a long time, brother really misses you."
Pei Jing's voice on the other end of the phone dropped, "I'll miss you too."
At this time, Ji Ningyi finally snatched the watch from Ji Zhile's hands, Ji Zhile was stunned for a second before realizing it, looking at Ji Ningyi: "I haven't finished talking to Brother Pei Jing yet."
Ji Ningyi said: "You can call Pei Jing yourself."
Ji Ningyi doesn't want to hear Ji Zhile tell others that he is crying anymore, because Ji Ningyi is already in the first grade, and he seldom cries. He is almost seven years old, and only a child like Ji Zhile can cry. of.
Ji Ning returned to his room with his phone and watch, and closed the door.
Ji Zhile followed behind him, and tried to unscrew the doorknob to follow in, but he didn't. He curled his lips and muttered softly: "I also have a phone and watch."
It's just that he didn't have Pei Jing's phone number, Ji Zhile forgot to ask for it, so he took out his phone watch and waited for Pei Jing to call him.
Sure enough, Pei Jing still remembered him, and soon Ji Zhile's phone and watch rang, and he was surprised to find that there was Pei Jing's phone number on it, and he didn't know who helped him.
But now Ji Zhile happily answered the phone, he really wanted to know what else was interesting about Pei Jing, the night talk that night left a very deep impression on Ji Zhile.
He also likes to eat mushrooms, and wants to pick them up by himself.
Facing Ji Zhile's questions, Pei Jing answered them one by one. He described them very vividly, which made Ji Zhile yearn for him very much. Finally, he smacked his lips: "But I'm still studying, so I can't go play with you."
Pei Jing asked him to study hard, and next time he came to Ji Zhile and the others, he would bring them mushrooms.
Finally Pei Jing asked hesitantly, "Has Ning Yi been crying for a long time?"
It will make him very sad.
Ji Zhile said: "It's not that long, I've been crying for a while, of course my brother is still worse than me."
Pei Jing was very worried when he heard this, because he knew that Ji Zhile was crying a lot, and it didn't last for a short time.
"I even comforted my brother, my mother didn't." Ji Zhile said proudly, "I comforted him so he stopped crying."
Pei Jing felt a little strange from this sentence, because what Ji Zhile said at this time was different from Pei Jing's impression of them. He said, "That Zhile is a very good child."
Ji Zhile rolled his eyes with joy: "I think so too."
He talked to Pei Jing a lot in bits and pieces, and felt that although they didn't live together anymore, it was similar to before, and they could still talk a lot.
Ji Zhile's last bit of sadness completely disappeared. He put away his phone and watch, then remembered something, and took out his notebook. He had to write something down today.
The elder brother refused to let him use the phone and watch, and even snatched it back.
Recently, her mother has been very obedient and has never done anything bad that would make Ji Zhile angry. Ji Zhile found out her own watercolor pen, and used a red one to mark a five-pointed star on the last page of remembering her mother's revenge, as a reward.
Just like their teachers.
After finishing these tasks, Ji Zhile put the things away in satisfaction, then climbed off the stool and prepared to go out.
But as soon as he opened the door, he saw Ji Ningyi standing outside, and Ji Zhile looked at him: "Why are you here?"
Just now after Ji Ningyi and Pei Jing had a phone call, they thought about it, and felt that they should not have snatched the watch from Ji Zhile. Pei Jing, he was crying for Pei Jing.
But Ji Zhile is still very young and ignorant, and he comforted him like a little sun today, and he usually likes him always clinging to him, Ji Ningyi felt that he should explain the truth to Ji Zhile clearly.
Ji Ning said, "Zhi Le, I shouldn't have snatched the phone and watch from you just now."
Ji Zhile gave him a strange look, but he didn't expect his brother to apologize easily.
He nodded: "Shouldn't it. I haven't finished talking to Brother Pei Jing yet, but later Brother Pei Jing called me alone. I found that my watch also has Brother Pei Jing's number. It's so strange."
Ji Ningyi said: "I saved it for you, so that we can get through."
The phone watches of the two of them are set. In order to prevent harassment, only the numbers stored in the watches can make calls.
Now Ji Zhile thinks that his brother is very good and helped him, so he can forgive his brother's behavior just now, he nodded: "Okay, then I forgive you."
As soon as Ji Ning left, he went to cross out what was written in the notebook. He was a very fair child.
But no one can see the vengeance, this is Ji Zhile's own secret.
"Thank you." Ji Ningyi said, "But Zhile, don't tell others what I cried today."
Ji Zhile was puzzled: "Why?"
Ji Ningyi: "Because this is my secret, I don't want others to know."
Ji Zhile thought for a while, nodded in a reasonable manner, and said, "Well, I won't tell my classmates about it."
When Ji Ning heard it, his eyes widened immediately: "So you still wanted to tell your classmates?"
Ji Zhile said, "Yes."
Ji Ningyi was very glad that he asked Ji Zhile at this time, he pressed Ji Zhile's shoulder, and told Ji Zhile very seriously: "You can't tell your classmates, because it's a very personal matter of our family, it's a secret. .”
Ji Zhile didn't understand: "But the classmates are not outsiders, and they will tell me about their family affairs."
Ji Zhile began to count: "Xiao Yuan's money is in the bottom drawer of the bedside table, wrapped in money. Xiao Ran's father lost money playing mahjong and told Xiao Ran not to tell her mother, and gave Xiao Ran a dollar , Xiao Ran didn’t tell her mother but told us., Shu Shu’s parents had a quarrel yesterday, and no one could cook. In the end, Shu Shu and her mother went out to have a big meal. I really want to have a big meal, brother, our parents Will we quarrel?"
Ji Ningyi: "No."
He didn't even know that Ji Zhile lived such a life in the kindergarten, that he knew so many secrets, did Ji Zhile tell others the secrets of their family? It's just that Ji Ningyi doesn't know where their family's money is kept.
Ji Zhile said: "But mom and dad didn't sleep together. Shu Shu's mom and dad quarreled, and Shu Shu slept with her mom that night, so did our mom and dad also quarrel?"
Ji Ningyi didn't know much about this either. He knew that his parents didn't live in the same room, and he also knew that they lived together under normal circumstances.
It turned out that he had asked his father when he was in kindergarten, but his father said that he liked to sleep alone. At that time, his father was often on business trips and was not at home most of the time. Ji Ningyi didn't take this matter to heart.
Until today when Ji Zhile asked, now my father comes home every day, but he is still separated from his mother.
Thinking of this, Ji Ningyi was also worried. Looking at Ji Zhile's ignorant look, he said hesitantly, "But Mom and Dad didn't quarrel. We had dinner together this morning."
Ji Zhile said: "But they didn't sleep together. I asked my mother, and my mother said that I knew it when I grew up. Brother, do you know why when you grow up?"
Ji Ningyi didn't know, he was thinking, and his brows were tightly frowned.
Ji Zhile thought, so my brother didn't know, it seems that my brother didn't grow very big either. Then he can ask his father, Ji Zhile made a decision in his heart.
He said to Ji Ningyi: "Brother, I will tell you when I know."
Ji Ning didn't quite believe it, but Ji Zhile looked confident.
Ji Jiangzhou usually arrives home at 6:00 p.m., and Ji Zhile was guarding the door at 5:50 p.m. He stood by the door and looked left and right.
Si Tian felt strange and asked him, "Ji Zhile, what are you doing?"
Ji Zhile said, "I'm waiting for Dad."
Si Tian said: "Your father will be very happy to see you are so enthusiastic."
Just to make up for the fact that Ji Ning bought her a gift a few days ago but didn't give it to Ji Jiangzhou. After Ji Jiangzhou saw it, his old father's sense of loss was all over his face.
As soon as Ji Jiangzhou arrived home, he was warmly treated by his youngest son. He rushed towards him and hugged his thigh, and said in a very clear voice, "Dad, you are back."
A smile appeared on the corner of Ji Jiangzhou's lips, he bent down and took Ji Zhile's hand.
Ji Zhile asked him to bend down a little to whisper to him, but Ji Jiangzhou followed suit.
Ji Zhile stuck to his ear: "Dad, I want to ask you something, don't tell mom, let's go upstairs together."
When Ji Jiangzhou heard this, he already guessed what Ji Zhile wanted to ask, and said, "The dress and desk lamp you bought have been shipped, and they will arrive in another day."
Generally speaking, the youngest son would be so enthusiastic only because of this, Ji Jiangzhou felt that he was very instrumental.
But Ji Zhile shook his head: "It's not about this."
Ji Jiangzhou didn't expect to have other things, so he nodded and said yes.
Passing by the living room, the father and son went upstairs, and Ji Zhile turned his head and glanced at Si Tian several times, expressing vividly what was on his mind.
Si Tian has to work **** her mobile phone to ignore Ji Zhile's very obvious gaze.
When we got to the room, Ji Zhile closed and locked the door, very carefully, Ji Jiangzhou couldn't help being a little curious about what his son said.
Is there anything that can only be told to him but not to Si Tian?
Ji Jiangzhou, who has been treated with double standards many times, did not expect to be the one being biased this time. He looked at Ji Zhile and waited for Ji Zhile to speak.
Ji Zhile was not tactful at all, and asked directly: "Dad, why don't you sleep with Mom?"
"Is it because you quarreled, did mother not let you into her room?"
Just like Shu Shu's parents, because Shu Shu's mother was angry, she closed the door to prevent Shu Shu's father from entering, and only slept with Shu Shu.
But why doesn't Mommy sleep with him?
When Ji Jiangzhou heard Ji Zhile's words, his originally smiling face froze.
Ji Zhile was still saying: "Dad, you are so pitiful, no one sleeps with you."
He is not pitiful at all, brother wants to sleep with him, so it turns out that brother Pei Jing will also sleep with him.
He had two people with him, but Dad didn't even have one. Thinking of this, Ji Zhile's eyes became more and more pitiful. He patted the back of Ji Jiangzhou's hand and said, "Just apologize to mom, it's no big deal."
Ji Jiangzhou held Ji Zhile's hand backhand, trying to explain: "No, we didn't quarrel."
Since he came back last time, he and Si Tian have been getting along very harmoniously without any conflicts. Facing the matter of Ji Ningyi and Pei Jing, they discussed and resolved it together.
Ji Zhile didn't believe it: "Then why don't you sleep together? All other children's parents sleep together."
Ji Jiangzhou didn't know how to explain his special relationship with Si Tian to Ji Zhile.
But it was the hesitation at this moment that made Ji Zhile think that his father was being stubborn. This is also very common. In the kindergarten, when the teacher criticizes others, some students will whisper that I am right.
"Dad, you are an adult, you have to admit your mistakes."
Facing the clear eyes of his youngest son, Ji Jiangzhou vaguely said, "I see."
Ji Zhile was very happy: "Then dad, remember to apologize to mom quickly, so that mom won't kick you out."
After all, their mother has the final say in their family. They can't stop what mother wants to do. He can only persuade his father. There is no other way. He is also afraid that his mother will be angry.
Ji Jiangzhou: "Yes."
After leaving the room, Ji Zhile immediately told Ji Ningyi about the matter, and he whispered, "Brother, Mom and Dad really quarreled."
"I asked my father just now, and I asked him to apologize to my mother, and my father agreed."
Ji Ning is not as stupid as Ji Zhile, if his parents had quarreled, there should be changes, but there is no change at home today.
Seeing that Ji Ning didn't believe it, Ji Zhile immediately said: "Really, if you don't believe me, you can go to see it with me tonight, and you can see Mom and Dad sleeping together."
Ji Ning was a little moved, but hesitated, and said, "It will be discovered."
Ji Zhile blinked: "Why were we discovered? We followed Dad to see if they slept together."
"Ah?" Ji Ning was surprised, could it really be so upright? Although Ji Ning knew little about this matter, he felt that children should not watch their parents sleep together.
Ji Zhile said: "It's ok, we want Mom and Dad to reconcile, just like Teacher Wang would directly ask children who quarreled to hug for a long time."
On the first night when Pei Jing left, Ji Ningyi thought he would have a hard time, but he didn't expect that he and Ji Zhile went to see his parents to reconcile.
Ji Jiangzhou was followed by two cubs, and it was already bedtime. Before going to bed, Si Tian asked Ji Jiangzhou, "What's the matter with you?"
As soon as Ji Ning was a little embarrassed to speak, Ji Zhile no longer had such worries, and said carelessly, "Brother and I want to watch you reconcile with your mother."
Ji Jiangzhou was rarely taken aback.
Ji Zhile hurriedly reminded: "Dad, you won't forget to apologize to Mom, right?"
Ji Jiangzhou really forgot, but facing the eyes of his younger son, Ji Jiangzhou could only say: "I haven't forgotten."
Ji Zhile encouraged: "Then dad, hurry up."
Ji Ning also watched expectantly.
Ji Jiangzhou couldn't get off the tiger, so he could only knock on the door of Si Tian's room under the watchful eyes of his two sons.
Si Tian thought it was Ji Ningyi and Ji Zhile, because it was almost time for the evening story, but when she opened the door, she saw Ji Jiangzhou with a slightly embarrassed expression, then moved down, and saw two standing next to Ji Jiangzhou. cub.
"What's wrong?" Si Tian asked, why did they appear together.
Ji Zhile poked Ji Jiangzhou's hand encouragingly, and Ji Jiangzhou said, "I want to apologize to you."
Si Tian: "Huh?"
Did Ji Jiangzhou do something she didn't know about?
Ji Zhile clenched her fists, wishing to shout out, "Dad, come on!"
The atmosphere was really awkward, Ji Jiangzhou said, "Can you let me in?"
Si Tian said, "Ah, good."
Why is it all so weird.
After entering the door, Ji Jiangzhou said to the two little ones guarding the door: "Okay, Dad will reconcile with Mom, you go back to your room first."
As soon as Ji Ning knew that the adults wanted to save face, he took the initiative to hold Ji Zhile's hand: "Let's go back, Zhile."
Ji Zhile still reassures: "Father must remember."
After closing the door, Ji Jiangzhou turned around and met his boss Tian's eyes with black pupils. Under the soft light, the smiles in his pupils were as clear as water, and his voice was narrow-minded: "What did they ask you to do?"
Ji Jiangzhou said: "Today Zhile asked me why I didn't sleep with you."
Si Tian was surprised: "Huh?"
She was thoughtful: "It turns out that Ji Zhile also asked me this question."
"Then how did you answer him?"
Si Tian said: "When he grows up, he will know."
Ji Jiangzhou was silent. At that time, Ji Zhile didn't ask for his answer at all, and asked and answered by himself. After Ji Jiangzhou's explanation, he still didn't believe it.
Ji Jiangzhou knew clearly that if he answered the same answer as Si Tian, Ji Zhile would definitely continue to ask. Sometimes he is very difficult.
Ji Jiangzhou said helplessly: "Zhile thought we had a fight, so let me apologize to you."
Si Tian blinked, feeling that everything went too smoothly: "Then you are here?"
As the father of the two male protagonists in the original text, Ji Jiangzhou doesn't seem to be a very talkative person, although after getting along with him for a while, Si Tian has changed his opinion of Ji Jiangzhou to a certain extent.
"The two of them are watching."
Si Tian looked at him sympathetically: "Why don't you stay here now?"
"I'm going to tell them a story, and you can go back later."
Ji Jiangzhou pursed his lips and looked at Si Tian: "Si Tian, shall we maintain this situation forever?"
Si Tian looked at him puzzled, and many thoughts flashed through her mind, and she asked tentatively, "Do you want to clarify with them and then separate?"
It's not impossible, Si Tian quickly thought about how much property she would get if she got separated and divorced. This is what she deserves. Ji Jiangzhou is working outside, and she is not idle at home.
But Ji Jiangzhou must have an idea in his mind when he asks this question, what should she do?
Si Tian's mind was spinning so fast that she almost burned the CPU, and then she heard Ji Jiangzhou's voice.
"No, I mean, can we really make up?"
