windy cold

"Mother, is it Zhen'er's younger brother?"

Inside the door, the wife's screaming in pain for a long time finally stopped, and changed into the cry of a weak baby boy. Chi Jingqian nodded, walked to the door with a smile, and waited for Granny Wen to open the door to hold the baby.

Chi Zhen also felt very happy. This year, Dad frowned a lot less. Mother said it was because she had a little brother, and Dad was happy.

My younger brother was born, and my father was so happy that he didn't even leave the house all day, just hugging the little guy whose eyes hadn't opened yet, and had no time to talk to him for several days.

The younger brother was named Chi Xiaohan, because he was born in winter, and he was very small when he first landed. His father said that he should choose a simple name, which would be in accordance with God's will, and would be easy to support.

Later, when he grew up, his temperament was not as humble and indifferent as his name. There was no time to calm down. He would turn over and sit when he could roll, and crawl when he could roll.

"Xiaohan, come down quickly, be careful not to fall!" Chi Zhen was anxious under the tree.

Chi Xiaohan, who just learned how to run on the tree and started to climb the tree, hugged the trunk and was still rubbing up. When he saw it, it turned out that there was a bird's nest on it, and there were several bird eggs inside.

"Yeah! Be careful!"

The little guy still fell from the tree and "giggled" while holding the bird's nest he got, not knowing that his sister's hand was almost crushed under the cushion.

Chi Zhen sat in the house for more than half a month, and the one who came to see her most was this little boy who hurt her.

"Sister, why is there a scar on your left hand?" Chi Xiaohan asked with his head tilted while holding the wood carving that his father had cut for him.

"There used to be something growing here, and my parents didn't like it, so my sister cut it off."

Xiaomaotou touched his sister's wound curiously with one hand. A mass of new flesh had grown on it, which was not pretty. "Does it hurt? Is it more painful than falling?"

Chi Zhen shook her head with a smile: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt until it's cut."

Later, Chi Xiaohan grew up and got to know Lu Wanfeng. The two little devil kings almost found a confidant, and the number of bad things they did doubled. go out.

Chi Xiaohan didn't understand at all, except that his parents were very strict, and his elder sister followed him every step of the way. He was talked about wherever he went and what he did. He managed to find a chance to sneak out to play, but when he came back, his elder sister slapped his palm. He cried out angrily, and said, "What do you care about me?"

Chi Zhen said sternly: "You are going to inherit the Chi family's business in the future, and if you play around like this again, how can your parents trust you to hand over the Chi family?"

"Then I won't inherit it! Who cares about being the head of this family!"

Chi Zhen's eyes darkened, and she frowned and said, "You're still young, you'll know when you grow up, as the eldest son of the direct line, this is your responsibility."

Chi Xiaohan pouted, "Sister, you are still the eldest daughter, can't you be the head of the family?"

Chi Zhen pursed her lips, paused for a second and said, "No, there is no such thing as a woman inheriting the family business."

After crying, Chi Xiaohan healed his scars and forgot the pain. He continued to play and make mistakes. His sister gradually lost control of herself, and then went to the Ling family again, and met Ling Qiuyu, the only eldest lady of the Ling family.

When he came back, he pulled his sister and said, "Sister, isn't Qiuyu a girl? Her parents didn't say to have another one, so it's okay to be a girl?"

Chi Zhen shook her head and said, "We are different from her family, you will know it when you grow up."

At that time Chi Xiaohan was only in his early ten years old, so he still didn't take this matter to heart.

He thinks that his sister is actually very hardworking and talented. She has never slackened in her practice, and she always restrains her behavior. From any point of view, she is better than herself, and she has no interest or talent. Why can't I change my sister if I want to be the head of Naluoshizi's family?

Later, when Chi Jingqian called himself to the study room, and earnestly explained some secrets of the Ling family that he never knew, he asked his doubts: "Father, why must it be me? My sister does everything very well. Could it be that Is it because she is a woman?"

"Yes," Chi Jingqian looked at him seriously, "because she is a woman."

Hearing this with his own ears made Chi Xiaohan very unhappy. He put it bluntly on his face and didn't listen to what his father explained seriously. forget.

At that time, he often thought: what is the difference between men and women except gender?Why can't women do what men can do?

For a long time afterwards, he relied on his parents and couldn't bear to beat and scold him, making him even more irresponsible. The Chi family talked a lot, saying that this prince is simply a bastard, how could someone as gentle and graceful as the eldest lady have such a younger brother? ?

Chi Xiaohan didn't care until he accidentally broke his sister's cherished bracelet.

He didn't know where his eloquent teeth went, he hesitated for a long time and said, "I, I'll give you another one that looks better..."

Chi Zhen looked at the scattered debris on the ground, and said after a while, "This is my birthday present from my father..."

"That's okay! Birthdays come every year, and you will receive them again!"

"..."

Chi Zhen knelt down silently to hold the fragments, but she was cut several times and blood dripped out, but she didn't seem to be aware of it.

Chi Xiaohan hurried to hold her hand, but she heard her say quietly: "Do you think that everyone has such a natural destiny like you, that you don't have to fight for anything, and you can come to whatever you want... Do you think you made it on purpose?" Can a cynical look make daddy give up on you and see me? Impossible...it's been so many years...they can't see..."

He was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak for a moment when his mind was exposed. He didn't let go or let go.

Chi Zhen stood up, and after saying that, she returned to her calm and elegant demeanor, looked into her younger brother's eyes and said, "You should calm down, not everything in the world can go as you wish, mother passed away early , Dad can’t live without you, the Chi family can’t live without you, you have to understand what responsibilities you shoulder, and learn to cherish what you have now.”

"Sister..." Chi Xiaohan only felt that those eyes were looking into his heart, and he froze there, not knowing what to do.

However, this state did not last long. Dad suddenly became seriously ill. At that time, he happened to be far away from home and participated in the group activities of the Xiao family's demon hunting. In order to avoid Xiao Wuhen, he secretly left the team for a while, waiting for him to come back. When I got home after learning the bad news, my father's body had already been sealed in advance according to the doctor's wishes, saying that it was because the disease had a strong contagious ability.

I didn't even see the last side, so I was buried like this.

Then when I was living in a trance, immersed in grief and unable to extricate myself, my sister resolutely carried the banner of the Chi family, took over the family's affairs, and when she calmed down, she also succeeded in gaining a firm foothold in the Chi family Heel, got lots of support up and down.

Chi Xiaohan felt that this was actually quite good, so he fulfilled his wish to be the hands-off shopkeeper, and his sister also took the position he wanted. The hard work for so many years was not in vain, and his appearance and temperament became more confident.

It's just that I still take care of myself, and I mean it's even worse than before, which is very uncomfortable.

As time goes by, I don't even want to stay in the Chi family anymore, I just want to go out to play, as long as my sister doesn't control me, and I can be free.

But now he knew that that person was not Chi Zhen at all, the real sister was curled up in that secret room that he had forgotten, hugging his skinny knees that were so hungry that they didn't even have the strength to cry.

She was so weak that she took her last breath, keeping her most stubborn and true appearance deep in her heart, standing there forever.

Chi Xiaohan walked towards the skeletal corpse step by step, took her left hand, put the slender white phalanx in the palm of his hand and looked at it carefully, and gently rubbed the bruise on the outer side of her little finger with the pulp of his finger, feeling the pain from it. Come, too uncomfortable to say a word.

Sister... Sister... I'm sorry... It took me so long to find you... I've lived so long in self-righteousness, and the things I tried to get for you turned out to be wedding dresses made for others...

I'm so useless...

Suddenly the hand in the palm of his hand moved, and the skeleton in front of him made a "cracking" sound. He looked up in surprise, and saw his sister's head buried in her knees slowly lifted up, and the dense head was close at hand. Facing each other, the neat mandibles widened and closed strangely, and he actually spoke, the voice seemed to come from the ghost hell: "Xiao... Han..."

His face turned pale, and the two empty eye sockets without eyeballs could suck people in like a whirlpool. He was dizzy for a while, and everything around him was spinning.

"what!"

Chi Xiaohan sat up abruptly, panting heavily, with cold sweat on his forehead, feeling as if his chest was being pressed by a big stone, and it was very difficult to breathe.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Wuhen quickly jumped off the beam, supported his shoulders and sat on the edge of the bed, looking at him while putting aside the messy hair that was wet with sweat.

It took a while to recover from that deep fear, Chi Xiaohan turned his head stiffly and looked at the person who seemed to be worried, and suddenly tears flowed down, uncontrollably, big and big whereabouts.

Xiao Wuhen took a breath, opened his hands and quickly took him into his arms, pressing his head to the crest of his neck.

Neither of them spoke, only Chi Xiaohan's rapid breathing and choking could be heard in the whole room, suppressing his sadness.

At the end of the moon, when the clouds came out and the stars were hidden, Chi Xiaohan finally calmed down, lingered in his warm embrace for a while, and then said in a nasal voice: "It's almost time, I still have to see a few elders..."

Xiao Wuhen didn't let go, "Don't go if you feel uncomfortable."

Only then did he realize that his current posture is very strange, Chi Xiaohan hurriedly moved his head and pushed him away, stammering awkwardly: "No, no, the elders are very prestigious in Shuzhong... I have to convince them before I can regain control Chi family."

The seniority of the elders he mentioned who is about to visit is higher than his father's. It's just that they don't care about family affairs after the change, but their words still have weight. If they want to overthrow the fake Chi Zhen, the only way at present Just get their support.

The most important factor that may make this operation successful is that the elders, like Chi Jingqian, do not support women in power.

Although he doesn't feel good every time he thinks about it.
