Dip in fire

Put Jingwanhong on the blisters and wrap it in a band-aid for two days.

Calendars are thin sheets of paper that are torn off one by one.

After the final exams, most of the students' hearts are divided into two halves, one half is tied to the frying pan for fear of failing grades, and the other half is flying high in the sky - looking forward to the winter vacation.When the grades are down, the "fear of grades" is half confused

But Zhong Ning was different, he divided three points, and the extra share was the largest and most inflated, called "Zhang Weilan".

Zhang Weilan was third in the final grade, but Zhong Ning did not do well in the mid-term exam, and the school's ranking dropped by more than 100.

Zhong Ning went home, bent his back, and presented the report card with both hands: "Mom, you've regressed."

"I know." Zhong Pei waved his hand, "I talked to your class teacher on the phone."

She said so, but still took Zhong Ning's report card to read.

What followed was a long-winded meal from my own mother, and all kinds of embarrassment.Naturally, according to the traditional pattern in the past, Zhong Pei mentioned Zhang Weilan.

Zhong Pei: "Look at Wei Lan, he has to work part-time and take care of his family, yet his grades are still so good."

Zhong Pei poked Zhong Ning's head: "You, can't you be stronger?"

Zhong Ning nodded earnestly, because he felt sorry for Zhang Weilan and had all kinds of sour and sweet emotions such as "the person I like is of course good", he was convinced when he said the words, and was even quite devout: "Zhang Weilan is good."

Zhong Pei was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt like a child had grown up—in the past, when she exaggerated Wei Lan, Zhong Ning would throw her face impatiently.Now I know how to follow the example.

"If you know someone is good, you should learn more from them." Zhong Pei continued, "Don't be indifferent all day long. The college entrance examination is one and a half years away. If you don't make progress, no one can help you."

Zhong Pei said: "When Wei Lan goes to college, you can mop the floor at home."

Zhong Ning: "..."

But what Zhong Pei said was very realistic.At this time, Zhong Ning planted a seed in his heart, but it was just vague, and Zhong Ning didn't pay much attention to it.

The bone-piercing cold for three or nine days made old man Zhang more and more confused.

He can't even remember what just happened.For example, two hours after he finished his meal, he turned around and asked Xiao Huan, "When is dinner?"

Xiao Huan looks very courageous, and was made trembling by the trouble.

Old man Zhang can no longer take care of Xiao Huan.

Due to the holidays, Zhang Weilan's part-time job was adjusted to the daytime every day, and she was basically not at home when it was not dark, so Xiao Huan was taken to Zhong's house by Zhong Ning whenever she had something to do.

Because of Lu Qingqing and Zhang Weilan, although Yan Huiwan knew that Xiao Huan was innocent, she hadn't cared much about her. After getting along with her closely this time, her prejudices disappeared, and she gradually loved the child.

The elderly seem to have a natural feeling for children, like a natural switch that turns on the light when touched.

Because of this, Xiao Huan often took the initiative to show up. She used to dare not go to Zhong Ning's house by herself.

After coming and going, Xiao Huan not only cultivated a relationship with the old lady, but also got better and better with Zhong Ning, and even stayed behind Zhong Ning in the afternoon as a tail.

Zhang Weilan came back from working in the milk tea shop that day, and the cotton-padded jacket was full of cold wind and air-conditioning, and the smell even rushed to the nose.

As soon as Zhang Weilan entered the courtyard, Yan Huiwan opened the door and waved to Zhang Weilan.

Zhang Weilan walked up to Yan Huiwan, and the old lady let him in: "Your grandfather just drank a bowl of porridge and fell asleep. You come over to eat. Xiaohuan is in Zhong Ning's room."

"En." Zhang Weilan responded, took off the cotton coat and folded it, put it on the sofa in the living room, and then walked into Zhong Ning's room.

He raised his hand to knock on the door, but Zhong Ning's shout came from behind the door: "Come in quickly."

Zhang Weilan pushed the door open and walked in. Just as she stepped in with one foot, Daduozi threw her head on the ground.

Zhong Ning said: "I heard you came back a long time ago, Da Duozi can't wait."

Daduozi really made a "humming, chirping" sound, and hurriedly arched Zhang Weilan's calf with his mouth.

"...Don't make trouble." Zhang Weilan frowned, bent down and rubbed Daduozi's head a few times.

Zhong Ning smiled, then opened his mouth and yawned: "You came back a bit late today."

Zhang Weilan paused, her eyelashes drooping.He brushed Daduozi's dog fur again, and sent this vile beast to the sidelines.

Zhong Ning often said such kind words to him.It sounded kind to him. "You came back a bit late." "Earlier today." "Are you tired?" "Going home?"...

Once or twice, from Zhong Ning's mouth again and again, as if Zhong Ning was always waiting for him by the door.Zhong Ning's tone was natural and familiar, as if Zhang Weilan should belong to that door.

But where is the door?It's not the door of the Zhang family, it's not the door of the Zhong family, and it's not the door of the migrant restaurant.

"Brother." Xiaohuan poked his head out from behind Zhong Ning and called Zhang Weilan.

"Huh?" Zhang Weilan looked up at Xiao Huan and asked, "Have you finished the homework assigned to you today?"

Xiao Huan nodded quickly.After nodding, she leaned close to Zhong Ning and whispered in Zhong Ning's ear, her big eyes flickered and looked at Zhang Weilan secretly, with a trembling look.

Zhong Ning heard Xiao Huan say naively and cautiously in his ear: "Brother Zhong Ning, my brother is in a bad mood these days, how about you coax him?"

Zhong Ning glanced at Zhang Weilan's icy and beautiful face, suddenly he couldn't laugh or cry.

He also turned his head, and whispered in Xiao Huan's ear: "Since your brother is in a bad mood, why don't you coax him yourself?"

Xiao Huan quickly shook her head, and said to Zhong Ning, "I dare not coax my brother."

Xiao Huan: "And my brother listens to you, so it's only useful if you coax him, otherwise he's not good."

Children speak freely.The little girl probably didn't dare herself, and deliberately complimented Zhong Ning for stepping on the fire pit, so she talked nonsense "with reason and evidence".In short, it happened to scratch Zhong Ning's itching spot.

Zhong Ning immediately laughed out loud, revealing a row of white teeth.He held Xiao Huan's face in his palm and rubbed it, and praised without hesitation: "Our Xiao Huan is so smart, so obedient, so cute."

Xiao Huan was so praised that her eyes widened and her throat let out a "quack" laugh, which was as clear and clean as crystal bells in spring.

Zhang Weilan was taken aback by the two ancestors opposite.When did these two become so close?

Xiao Huan had never smiled so happily in front of him. Most of Xiao Huan shrunk her neck obediently in front of him... It seemed that Zhong Ning was Xiao Huan's real brother.

Zhang Weilan must have been bewitched, and asked meddlingly, "What are you talking about?"

Zhong Ning raised an eyebrow slightly, intentionally to be annoying.He picked up Xiao Huan's two arms and hung them on his shoulders, and actually carried them on the girl's back.

Zhong Ning blinked, and said harmlessly: "Secrets, especially not to Brother Wei Lan."

Zhang Weilan: "..."

Brother Wei Lan?

When Xiao Huan heard it, she leaned on Zhong Ning's back and secretly laughed.Zhong Ning stretched his arm back to touch Xiao Huan's head: "Xiao Huan, grandma is cooking pork ribs, brother Zhong Ning will take you to eat."

Zhong Ning looked at Zhang Weilan again: "Are you going?"

"..." Zhang Weilan was silent, "I won't go."

"En." Zhong Ning nodded, not surprised at all.

Normally, Zhong Ning would say: "Don't pull it down."

But he grinned at Zhang Weilan, and said, "Then I'll steal it back for you to eat." After finishing speaking, he stretched out his feet and kicked Daduozi, drove the dog with the baby on his back, and went to steal together.

Zhang Weilan: "..."

Zhong Ning didn't close the door when he went out, the door was wide open.Zhang Weilan could hear Zhong Ning playing tricks on Yan Huiwan.

He mumbled to Reiser: "Grandma, give me another piece." He must be eating something in his mouth, and he couldn't speak clearly.

And Yan Huiwan sent impatiently: "Go and go, the table will be served soon, wait a moment... Are your hands clean, just stick them in... don't go to the small table Put it in your mouth and wash your hands!"

Including the mixed in, the shouting of Daduozi, and the long and light fragrance of food.

Zhang Weilan sighed and closed the door.

——Zhong Ning is really not good at it.Useless, stupid, useless.My brain is not bright, I am not in the right direction, I am not in the right tune, and I am very noisy.

The quarrel gave Zhang Weilan a headache.

Zhang Weilan walked to the desk and stopped. On the desk were third-grade mathematics books and Xiaohuan's arithmetic book.

Zhang Weilan picked it up casually and looked at it twice, and found a wrong question.

There are some traces of labeling changes on this page. Zhang Weilan guessed that Zhong Ning should have checked it for Xiao Huan-look, this person has this kind of IQ, so unreliable, he can't even check the arithmetic problems in the third grade of elementary school.

Zhang Weilan picked up a pencil from the table, marked the wrong question, and then started to help Xiaohuan pack her schoolbag.

I didn't know if I didn't clean it up, but after I cleaned it up, I found that the girl was very sloppy, all the papers of various subjects were wrapped together in a mess, and the corners of the book were still curled up.

Zhang Weilan sat down on the chair, recalling that she didn't pay enough attention to Xiaohuan.Xiao Huan is still young, unlucky thing has no parents, grandpa is sick, shouldn't a brother be more careful?

Poor Zhang Weilan at the age of [-]/[-], should have gone out for a wild run and drink wind, but unexpectedly she gave birth to such old thoughts in a muddle.

After much deliberation, Zhang Weilan felt that she should pay more attention to Xiao Huan in the future—otherwise, this girl might look stupid if she messed with Zhong Ning.

Zhang Weilan rummaged through Xiao Huan's schoolbag, sorted her papers, and repacked the textbooks by size.When he was tidying up, he accidentally knocked off Xiao Huan's pencil.

A pencil rolled round and rolled under Zhong Ning's bed within a few strokes.

Zhang Weilan got down to take a look, and vaguely saw a shadow—the roll was not particularly deep, so it should be able to be drawn out.

Zhang Weilan went to Zhong Ning's closet to get a hanger to use. He bent down to the ground, stretched out the hanger to reach it, and within a few strokes, the pencil came out. Zhang Weilan saw that the tip of the pen fell off.

Something else came out at the same time—a DVD.

Zhang Weilan didn't think too much, and picked up the DVD casually.

The DVD was playing by knocking. Zhang Weilan turned it over and saw the picture on the front, and couldn't help being stunned.

——Two men embrace each other.

Zhang Weilan stared at it, and almost instantly, he understood what this disc was about.

Zhang Weilan's eyes didn't move for a while.Suddenly, he felt as if he had been stung, and he recovered immediately.

Zhang Weilan tapped the DVD and put it back under the bed. This time he used a clothes hanger to stuff it deeper.

Zhang Weilan picked up the pencil and put it on the table, wiped Zhong Ning's hanger with a paper towel and hung it back in the closet.

He took out two more paper towels, squatted beside the bed, and wiped the dirty dust from the bottom of the bed.

Wipe the clock clean and Ning came in.

Zhong Ning opened the door, with Xiao Huan and Da Duozi following behind him.

"What are you doing?" Zhong Ning said lightly, probably in a good mood.

Zhang Weilan stood up and threw the paper towel wrapped in dirty ashes into the trash can. He turned around and looked at Zhong Ning and looked away: "It's nothing."

"Come and eat." Zhong Ning held a small bowl in his left hand, steaming from the bowl, and the delicate aroma of meat kept overflowing.

"Grandma just made some spare ribs, I'll steal some for you." Zhong Ning said, pinching a piece out of the bowl with his right hand.

The ribs were very hot, Zhong Ning couldn't help blowing on his fingertips twice.He walked up to Zhang Weilan and stuffed it directly into the person's mouth: "Open your mouth, open your mouth."

Zhang Weilan instinctively wanted to reach out to pick it up, but Zhong Ning didn't give him a chance, the ribs were already on his lips.

Zhang Weilan had no choice but to bite.

Zhong Ning took out a tissue and rubbed his fingers, Zhang Weilan had ribs in his mouth, and did not look at Zhong Ning with drooping eyelids.With his hands hanging by his side, he secretly squeezed a fist.

The difference is that Zhong Ning is not a meticulous and caring thing, and Zhang Weilan is good at covering up his sensuality and harboring thoughts. The two of them understand clearly, confused and confused, the bold one is bold, the timid one is timid, they are both young. Time is hard to tell clearly.

Zhang Weilan ate the meal absent-mindedly, not taking a bite, Yan Huiwan couldn't see it, and even nagged him a few words.Zhong Ning just assumed that, as Xiao Huan said, Zhang Weilan was in a bad mood recently.

However, since Zhang's parents had an accident, Zhang Weilan has not been in a good mood, and her relative appetite has not been abundant.

Zhong Ning carefully looked at Zhang Weilan's face, and saw that his chin had become sharper, and the bony creases on his face had become more three-dimensional. The contours were cruelly hard, as if they had been sharply cut out with a carving knife.

Zhong Ning felt distressed and didn't stop, picked up a whole fish and threw it into Zhang Weilan's bowl.The rice bowl was not big enough, and the fish head and tail were hung outside the bowl at two ends, dripping soup on the table.

Zhang Weilan: "..."

Yan Huiwan burned two fish in total, this one was caught by Zhong Ning, and the fish plate was half empty.

Zhong Ning coughed lightly and turned to Yang Er, a little embarrassed.The boy said softly and forcefully: "Grandma is right, you have been too thin recently."

Zhang Weilan stared down at the fish silently, thoughtfully.

Yan Huiwan was so happy that she put a piece of meat into Xiao Huan's bowl, and said, "Is there anyone like you who picks up vegetables? Go and bring Wei Lan another plate."

"Oh." Zhong Ning put down his chopsticks with a "click" and stood up to get the plate.

Yan Huiwan was still laughing at Zhong Ning: "This kid is so stunned, how can someone eat a whole fish directly on the rice bowl?"

That night, Zhang Weilan ate a whole braised fish by herself, and a pinch of slender fishbone came out of it.
