Chapter 73:

idiot brother.

Si Tian froze in place, her eyes widened a little, and she looked at Ji Jiangzhou in disbelief.

Ji Jiangzhou hardly ever said such a thing. Facing Si Tian's gaze, he put his hand to his lips, coughed lightly, and repeated: "Si Tian, ​​can we make up?"

Ji Jiangzhou recalled the past, and looking back at this moment, he really did a little too much at that time.

But at that time he didn't have any feelings for Si Tian, ​​Si Tian's actions completely consumed his previous thoughts. When he married Si Tian, ​​what Ji Jiangzhou thought was to treat each other like a guest and spend his whole life.

After marriage, Si Tian did fulfill her duties as a wife.

In the second year after their marriage, they had Ning Yi. The birth of the child made Ji Jiangzhou feel more responsible for his family and his wife. Si Tian knew how to measure and cared for her. She was a qualified wife, but Not a qualified wife.

Before the marriage, Ji Jiangzhou knew that Si Tian had the same idea as him, living together as a partner, and they had no feelings for each other.

He took a fancy to Si Tian's gentleness and understanding, which made his parents feel at ease.

Si Tian probably took a fancy to his family background, and they are the most suitable partners because they each have what they need.

It’s just that after Zhile was born, Si Tian changed. Ji Jiangzhou invited a doctor, but Si Tian drove the doctor away, saying that she was fine.

At first, Ji Jiangzhou's attitude towards Si Tian was the same as before. On the surface, they were still husband and wife. He expressed his due concern for Si Tian, ​​but Ji Jiangzhou didn't like the way Si Tian looked at him. He didn't want to be someone's prey. After Si Tian tried to drug him, Ji Jiangzhou was completely indifferent to Si Tian, ​​and even began to divide the room.

The two children are still very dependent on Si Tian, ​​and there is nothing unusual about Ji Jiangzhou going home every time, but Ji Zhile will pester him a little more.

As soon as Ji Ning said that his mother was very kind to them, Ji Zhile was still young and mischievous, often wreaking havoc at home, saying that he hated his mother, but at the same time always liked to be by her side.

But when it comes to leaving, the two children are unwilling, they want to live with Si Tian.

This kind of life lasted for three years, and Ji Jiangzhou came home very few times. On the one hand, he was busy with work. The expansion of the company's overseas business and the establishment of branches all required Ji Jiangzhou to make decisions. On the other hand, Jiang Zhou was not willing. Meet Si Tian.

Until the last time he came back, Ji Jiangzhou clearly felt Si Tian's changes.

It's similar to the feeling when they first got married, but Si Tian no longer has that sense of alienation and proportion. She, Ning Yi and Zhi Le are a complete family together.

This kind of atmosphere can make people soft, and Ji Jiangzhou yearns for it. He saw Si Tian's other side, and actually had the idea of ​​reconciliation, but it turned out that Si Tian didn't seem to want it, and Ji Jiangzhou didn't propose it either.

Now that the two children have achieved this, Ji Jiangzhou thinks this is a good opportunity, and he will never give up the opportunity.

Facing Si Tian who was stunned, Ji Jiangzhou looked her straight in the eyes, asked clearly and straightforwardly, and did not give Si Tian a chance to escape.

Si Tian was really pretending to be stupid: "What are you talking about, aren't we doing well now?"

Ji Jiangzhou looked at her quietly, his black pupils seemed to be able to see everything clearly, he didn't speak, but Si Tian seemed to see something from inside.

Si Tian had nowhere to hide from such gazes, and felt that Ji Jiangzhou had seen her thoughts clearly.

She wanted to maintain the status quo. On the surface, the husband and wife were very good. She didn't know why Ji Jiangzhou wanted to change. She wanted to let it go without talking casually. Ji Jiangzhou said it so suddenly, without giving her any time to think.

Si Tian was about to speak, but she heard Ji Jiangzhou's voice first: "Ning Yi and Zhi Le should be waiting for you, now is the time for you to tell them a story, right?"

Si Tian was a little stunned and said "hmm", she didn't know why Ji Jiangzhou changed the subject so quickly, she was still thinking about what happened just now.

Ji Jiangzhou said: "Then go out and see them."

He opened the room, and sure enough there were two children standing at the door, but they didn't eavesdrop, they stood outside openly.

Facing Ji Jiangzhou's gaze, Ji Ning said, "Dad, we are here to find Mom."

Ji Zhile said, "Yes, it's time for Mom to tell us a story."

Not long after Ji Zhile left in Ji Ning area, Ji Zhile made a fuss about going back.

Ji Ningyi said: "This is the business of parents, we don't want to go."

"No." Ji Zhile said loudly, "This is our family's business, I'm going, and my mother hasn't told us a story tonight."

Ji Ning asked: "I can also tell you."

"No." Ji Zhile shook his head, "I want my mother!"

After Ji Zhile finished speaking, he broke away from Ji Ningyi and ran outside. Logically speaking, Ji Ningyi could catch up with him, but Ji Ningyi himself had selfish motives. He also wanted to know the situation of his parents, so he followed Ji Zhile Le back.

But when Ji Zhile tried to put his ear on the door to eavesdrop, Ji Ning grabbed him back to his side, and then his father opened the door.

Ji Ningyi was a little embarrassed, because this was the first time he did such a thing.

But Ji Jiangzhou didn't blame him, just said: "Let mom rest tonight, is it okay for dad to tell you?"

"No!" Ji Zhile and Si Tian said at the same time.

Ji Zhile said, "I want my mother to tell stories."

He also asked his mother if his father apologized, and Ji Zhile had to personally supervise the completion of this matter.

Si Tian said: "I like to tell them stories."

Daily tasks still have to be done, and the wool rewarded by the system still needs to be collected. Storytelling is getting easier for Si Tian.

Although the two had different ideas, they reached a consensus strangely.

Ji Jiangzhou moved away silently, and Si Tian took the other by the hand and left.

After leaving the room, Si Tian breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't expect Ji Jiangzhou to let her go in the end, he didn't force her, and even took the initiative to let her escape.

As soon as she arrived at Ji Zhile's room, Ji Zhile immediately asked her: "Mom, did Dad apologize to you just now?"

Looking at Ji Zhile's bright eyes, Si Tian pinched his face: "Do you like to see your father apologize so much?"

Ji Zhile's little thought was seen through again, but he would deny it. He shook his head, grabbed Si Tian's fingers, and said softly, "No, I want Mom to forgive Dad."

In the kindergarten, if a child is criticized by the teacher, it will attract a lot of onlookers, but they dare not look at it openly, they can only sneak a peek here and there, and Ji Zhile is usually one of the onlookers.

He thought this was interesting, so when his father did something wrong, he also wanted to see it.

Si Tian said, "Then do you want me to forgive you?"

Ji Zhile rolled her eyes: "Mom, please forgive me."

Si Tian felt that Ji Zhile was still a good and filial child, but the next moment Ji Zhile asked, "Why did Dad apologize?"

"Will he cry too?"

Si Tian: em...

"Are you going to say sorry to mom?"

Ji Zhile shook Si Tian's hand, and said coquettishly, "Mom, tell me."

He really wants to know.

"I won't tell you." Si Tian didn't know how a three-and-a-half-year-old kid could be so gossip, he knew everything.

Ji Ning was very obedient as soon as he said, "This is about Mom and Dad, don't tell us."

Si Tian rubbed Ji Ningyi's head: "If it affects our family, it concerns everyone, and I will tell you."

Ji Zhile stared at Si Tian with wide eyes, then at Ji Ningyi, and said loudly, "Mom is biased!"

Don't tell him but tell your brother, and talk to your brother so tenderly.

Ji Ning immediately had a big reaction to this word, and even shook his head: "No, Mom said she would tell us."

It's us, not just him.

Ji Zhile still muttered: "Don't tell me, hum..."

Si Tian squeezed Ji Zhile's raised mouth, and snorted coldly: "Don't be so busy getting angry, I haven't asked you yet, why did you ask me 'Mom and Dad don't sleep together' and I told you the answer , you have to ask Dad again, do you not believe Mom?"

Ji Zhile glanced at Si Tian.

Si Tian immediately pretended to be heartbroken, and successfully played Ji Zhile. He grabbed Si Tian's hand and said, "No, mom, don't cry."

Si Tian asked, "Then why?"

She sighed: "Oh, I'm so sad. I answered all your questions, but Zhile didn't believe me."

She acted very deliberately, maybe elementary school students can see clearly, but it is just right for kindergarteners.

Ji Zhile said: "I believe it, but my mother said that I will understand when I grow up, and I really want to understand it sooner, so I asked my father."

"Look, you still don't believe your mother." Si Tian immediately pointed out the loopholes in his words, "You don't understand now because you are too young. When you grow up, many problems will be solved."

Ji Zhile asked: "Mom, why did you solve it easily?"

Si Tian: "It's not important."

Si Tian continued: "For example, if I test you now, what is one hundred and two plus one hundred and thirteen?"

Ji Zhile's eyes widened: "Why did you take this test..."

Didn't he still talk about family affairs just now? Why did he not learn addition and subtraction other than one hundred after taking a math test?

Si Tian said: "It's all the same, but Ning Yi knows it."

Si Tian looked at Ning Yi and gave him a look.

Ji Ningyi immediately gave the answer: "It's equal to two hundred and five."

Si Tian: "That's right, so Zhile, you see, you don't know the answers to some questions now, but when you grow up and learn more knowledge, you will understand. It's not that mom doesn't tell you, but she wants you to know the answers yourself." Realize that you understand, do you understand mother's painstaking efforts?"

Ji Zhile looked at Si Tian in a daze.

Si Tian continued to ask: "Do you understand?"

Ji Zhile nodded: "Understood."

Si Tian stroked his hair: "You're so smart, well, don't ask about this in the future, because you are too young."

Ji Zhile said, "Okay."

"Yeah!" Si Tian gave him an approving look, "Then what story do you want to hear today, go get the book yourself."

Now in the bedtime story session, Si Tian is getting more and more relaxed.

In the beginning, she had to look for stories by herself, and Ji Zhile would be picky. Now Si Tian doesn't look for stories anymore, and let the two children find them by themselves. She is only responsible for reading aloud without emotion.

Xiao Ai couldn't help but shake her head when she saw it. The daily tasks are used to cultivate parent-child relationships. At first, the host did barely pass.

But it didn't dare not to give it, the host would die.

It can only be said that the task requirements issued by the system are not perfect enough, but even if the host fishes the fish and completes it, the intimacy of the parent-child relationship is getting higher and higher day by day.

Xiao Ai looked at Ji Ningyi and Ji Zhile who were nestled beside Si Tian, ​​obediently listening to the story and not daring to have any opinions, and sighed, the poor two cubs who have never seen anything good.

After the story was finished, it was time for Si Tian to go back to her room, but she hesitated today.

What if you go back and see Ji Jiangzhou still there? She hasn't figured out how to answer Ji Jiangzhou's question yet.

It is shameful but useful to escape, Si Tian hesitated, Ji Ning saw it and asked: "Mom, do you want to sleep with us?"

He was lifting the quilt, making the small bed neat and cozy, and his smile under the light was very heartwarming: "Mom can also go to my room to sleep, I am willing to let my mother live."

Si Tian wondered if Ji Ningyi saw something, but he was six and a half years old, so he shouldn't.

"Thank you Ning Yi, I'm used to sleeping in my own room."

Ji Ning nodded, then knelt on the upper bunk, leaned over, and gently hugged Si Tian's neck: "Good night, mom."

Si Tian felt as if a soft feather had fallen from her heart, and she was a little itchy. She turned her head and kissed Ji Ningyi's cheek: "Good night, baby."

Being hugged softly by the child, Si Tian walked towards her room arrogantly. Now she is full of courage and fighting spirit, and feels that she can handle anything Ji Jiangzhou says.

Let’s reconcile, for the sake of the two children, for the sake of Ji Jiangzhou’s handsome looks, and for the sake of Ji Jiangzhou’s ability to earn money and being quite generous, and For the sake of roughly the same three views, she has a good personality and is not a stubborn person. The two children also like him very much. The father-in-law and mother-in-law are easy to get along with... There are also some small Not to mention the advantages.

Walking to the door, Si Tian quickly pushed open the door of her room: "Ji..."

The room was empty, only the lights were bright, and there was no one.

Si Tian walked into the room, feeling a faint sense of loss welling up in her heart.

She has made so many psychological preparations, but it is a pity that Ji Jiangzhou is not here...

The next day is Sunday, Ji Zhile can sleep in as much as he wants on this day, but the biological clock is controlled, even if there is no alarm clock, he still wakes up after seven o'clock.

Rubbing his eyes, the first thing Ji Zhile did was to shout: "Brother."

Didn't get a response, Ji Zhile thought it must be because his brother hadn't woken up yet, in this case, he could rest in peace and close his eyes.

A few seconds later, the bathroom door opened, and Ji Ningyi's voice came: "Zhile, are you calling me?"

Ji Zhile immediately turned over and looked towards the bathroom. Ji Ning had just washed his face, and his whole body was clean and refreshed.

"Brother, when did you get up?"

"It's been a while." Ji Ning said.

Ji Zhile accused: "Why didn't you wake me up?"

Ji Ning hesitated and said: "You are still sleeping, if you need, I will call you every morning from now on."

Ji Zhile thought for a while: "No need."

He still wants to sleep more, but his brother has already woken up, wouldn't it be too special for him to be alone?

Ji Zhile tossed and turned on the bed, wrapped the quilt all over himself, his body was still yearning for the warm quilt, after struggling for a moment, he stretched out his index finger to feel the temperature outside, and then slowly peeled off the quilt from his body Come down, and declare, "I'm getting up too!"

"Brother, help me fold the quilt!"

Today is the first day after Pei Jing left, and they slept together in the last few days, Pei Jing was responsive to Ji Zhile's request, and even Ji Ningyi would help Ji Zhile with something, this completely spoiled Ji Zhile, Let him dare to ask Ji Ningyi openly at this moment.

But Ji Ningyi couldn't talk today, he shook his head: "Zhile is your own business, I won't help you anymore."

Ji Zhile looked at him in disbelief: "It wasn't like this yesterday."

Ji Ningyi still shook his head: "You are three and a half years old, you can do these things by yourself."

Ji Zhile hummed heavily: "I hate you!"

Ji Ningyi doesn't care anymore, if you hate it, you can hate it, anyway, you have been hated by Ji Zhile many times, now you won't panic at all.

Ji Zhile folded the quilt, changed his clothes, and went to brush his teeth and wash his face. Ji Ning opened the window to ventilate. When passing by the bathroom, he saw Ji Zhile washing his face.

Ji Ningyi hurriedly said: "Zhile, if the veil is not unscrewed, the water will fall on you."

Ji Zhile turned his head and glanced at him, opened and closed his mouth, and said four words coldly: "It's easy to solve."

Ji Ning was stunned on the spot, and it took a while to react.

Ji Zhile had already unscrewed the veil again, rubbed it on his face, wrung it out twice and put it on the pole, then walked out of the bathroom and stood in front of Ji Ningyi: "Why do you always look at me? "

"I'm going to the bathroom, you can't watch it."

Ji Ningyi: "Oh, good."

He was still thinking about what happened to Ji Zhile's idiom just now. Although Ji Ningyi was in the first grade, he would look it up in the dictionary for words or phrases he didn't understand, because the meanings of idioms that are common in life Ji Ningyi understood.

It is precisely because he understands that he is puzzled.

Finally, when Ji Zhile went to the toilet to wash his hands, Ji Ning approached and asked, "Zhile, why did you say it was easy to solve?"

Ji Zhile turned his head, wiped his hands dry, and gave him a contemptuous look: "You don't even know this?"

The tone is very proud.

Ji Ningyi: "No..."

Ji Zhile: "It means 'it's none of your business', idiot brother."

He looked at Ji Ningyi triumphantly, he didn't expect that his brother didn't know as much as him now, Ji Zhile straightened his chest.

Ji Ningyi: "That's not what it means."

"Yes!" Ji Zhile said with certainty, "That's what my mother told me last night."

Ji Zhile imitated what Si Tian said last night, and successfully evoked Ji Ningyi's memories. Looking at Ji Zhile's complacent appearance, Ji Ningyi kindly reminded him: "Mom didn't mean what the word meant. Just saying your question is not important."

"Mum didn't say it's none of your business, she said 'it doesn't matter'"

Ji Ning's words were clear, Ji Zhile blinked, thinking back, he probably couldn't fully restore what he remembered, but there was only a vague impression in his mind, now thinking about it, after he asked his mother last night what it meant to solve it easily, Mom seems to be saying it doesn't matter.

Ji Zhile clenched his small fists, his face was a little hot, he avoided Ji Ningyi's gaze, and then yelled: "What I'm saying is that it's not important, it's all the same."

Ji Ningyi: "Well..."

Ji Zhile said loudly: "It's disgusting, you go out, don't look at me!"

Ji Ning gave Ji Zhile a strange look, and felt that his loud yelling looked very angry, and a thought suddenly popped up in Ji Ning's mind, and he didn't know who the idiot was.

But Ji Ningyi quickly put this idea out of his mind, he can't say that about his younger brother, Zhile is not an idiot.

But Ji Ningyi was very afraid that his younger brother would really become a fool who used idioms indiscriminately, so he looked up the idiom dictionary, copied the meaning of the word on a post-it note, and quietly pasted it on the small desk in Ji Zhile's room.

Usually when Ji Zhile wants to read calligraphy and painting by himself, he will use this small desk, and Ji Ningyi thinks that Ji Zhile will definitely be able to read what he left behind.

Of course Ji Zhile saw it. After realizing that he had made a mistake, he crumpled the post-it into a ball and threw it into the trash can in shame and anger, his face began to burn.

I hate it to death, my brother hates it, and my mother hates it too.

Ji Zhile wrote it down in his notebook.

This directly caused Ji Zhile to be very angry when he went downstairs to eat breakfast. He decided not to talk to his mother when he saw her later.

But Ji Zhile didn't see Si Tian in the living room. He searched the kitchen and other places but couldn't find it. In the end, he could only ask the aunt who made breakfast: "Auntie, where is my mother?"

The aunt smiled kindly and said, "Mother Zhile probably hasn't woken up yet."

Ji Zhile said: "I'm already up! Mom must have gone out to play."

The aunt said: "Probably not. I haven't seen Zhile's mother down here for so long, and she usually doesn't come down to eat until nine o'clock. You should eat first, Zhile."

The aunt thought that Ji Zhile was waiting for her mother to eat together, and she exclaimed that she was such a good boy.

But Ji Zhile only wanted to find Si Tian, ​​and then got angry in front of her. When his mother asked him, he could barely answer because he didn't explain the meaning of that word clearly to him last night.

In this way, mother might hug him and coax him, Ji Zhile imagined everything that should happen in his head.

But now it was completely beyond his expectations.

"Did you really wake up at nine o'clock?" Ji Zhile asked.

The aunt nodded: "Because my mother has nothing else to do at home, so I can get up later."

Ji Zhile was dazzled by the news, and murmured: "How could this be..."

From Monday to Friday, he goes to school, so how can his mother sleep in at home when he wakes up so early?

"I want to be a mother too." Ji Zhile said, "Can I be a mother's mother?" He looked at Ji Ningyi.

Ji Ning's eyes widened: "This can't be done!"

Why does his brother have such an idea? If mother finds out, Ji Zhile will definitely be scolded, and will cry again then.

"why not?"

Ji Ningyi: "Because you are a boy, you cannot be a mother!"

"And you are mother's son, you can only be a son and not a mother!" Ji Ning's tone became a lot more serious, trying to get this inexplicable idea out of Ji Zhile's mind.

Ji Zhile thought about it too, and finally curled his lips, reluctantly said: "Then I'll be a father."

He added: "It's okay when I grow up."

But Ji Zhile thought about it again. Dad sent them to school every day and got up earlier than him. Dad didn't come back until his mother picked them up in the afternoon. It turned out that many times he had to earn money outside and couldn't go home.

Ji Zhile immediately repented: "I don't want my father anymore."

"Brother, what else can I be?"
