Chapter 107 Chronology (5)
Chu Yun quickly ran to Chu Yang and helped him carry the large iron sheet.
"Brother...you are so nice, I like you so much woo woo..."
No one in the village had ever expressed their love so directly, so Chu Yun opened his mouth and even if Chu Yang was expressionless, he couldn't keep a blank expression at this moment.
My ears turned red in an instant.
“Don’t…don’t talk nonsense!”
Then I won’t say it anymore, Chu Yun was very excited:
"Brother, this iron sheet is quite expensive, where did you get the money?"
Wang Guifang usually doesn't give them pocket money. She only keeps the remaining five cents and ten cents from the occasional purchases of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar for herself.
Chu Yang answered honestly: "I earn it by helping my classmates with their homework."
Teachers in those days were very strict, and corporal punishment was commonplace. If students didn't finish their homework, they would be hit on the palms with a ruler until their hands were swollen.
In this way, some children from wealthier families can only find ways out.
Chu Yang has been helping others with their homework since he was old enough to understand. The exercise book is very precious to him. He would like to earn money and do exercises at the same time.
"Brother...you are so awesome."
Chu Yang thought Chu Yun was envious and regretted dropping out of school, so he advised:
"Tell Mom you're going to school, and I'll tutor you."
Chu Yun doesn't like studying. If he goes to school, his hands will probably be beaten by the teacher.
"No, no... I'm sure the teacher will beat me... I'm so stupid."
Chu Yang frowned, thinking that it made sense, but only knowledge could change one's destiny, and he didn't want his younger brother to be a gangster all his life.
A slap on the palm was nothing to him, or any child. Who hasn't been spanked? Even my younger brother got spanked countless times when he was little.
But now Chu Yang looked at Chu Yun's tender appearance and thought that he might really be hurt, so he stopped trying to persuade her.
"Then I'll teach you what I've learned, and then you can take the college entrance exam."
If he refused again, it would be a hopeless situation, so Chu Yun nodded in agreement.
When they got home, Chu Yun cheered on the side, and Chu Yang squatted down and helped Chu Daqiang fix the iron sheet.
Wang Guifang grumbled to herself that Chu Yun had learned the spoiled young master's temper from somewhere, but there was a smile in her eyes. Chu Yang and Chu Yun had always had a bad relationship.
When Chu Yun was wearing open-crotch pants, he would smile when he saw his older brother Chu Yang. But as they grew up, they became less close.
Although Chuyang is not his biological child, he has raised him for so many years that he still has feelings for the cats and dogs, not to mention a living person. Moreover, Chuyang is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.
This child is sensitive and is very sensible after having a younger brother. It's just that Chu Yun, that bad boy, always bullies his brother.
Their relationship became worse and worse. Wang Guifang beat the brat several times for this matter, and as a result, he hated Chuyang even more.
Wang Guifang could only see such a scene in her dreams now, but now it has become a reality and she is so happy that her teeth are showing.
No matter how much money you have, it is useless as long as the family is harmonious.
"You little brat, if I don't give you that...oh bathroom, you'll just go and bother your brother! Only your brother is honest! Don't bully your brother!"
Chu Yun squatted beside Chu Yang and smiled: "My brother is the best to me in the world, I won't bully him!"
Chu Yang continued to work with red ears and without saying a word.
"Okay, come and eat when you're done."
Wang Guifang was taking care of their meals. Chu Yun went over and saw a big pot of eels.
I put tofu, coriander, beans, eggplant, whatever I had at home in it, and put a circle of corn tortillas on the edge of the pot.
Each person was given a bowl. Although Chu Yun was afraid of eels, since the eels were cut into pieces and not noticeable, he ate them in big mouthfuls.
"Mom, your cooking is so delicious."
Wang Guifang has gotten used to her youngest son's cheesy behavior these days, so she lets him call her whatever he wants.
"Eat an egg. It's a good way to replenish your energy after working so hard today."
Anything that is rare can be replenished.
I only boiled two eggs. I usually save the eggs laid by the chickens at home. They can be sold to make some pocket money when visiting relatives.
One for Chu Yun and one for Chu Yang.
After eating, Chu Yun couldn't wait to take a shower. This small bathroom was indeed simple. The door could not be closed and could only be fastened with a small wire. There was a bluestone slab on the ground with a water pipe hanging on it.
Chu Yun took a quick shower. There wasn't even a bar of soap at home, so he washed his whole body with one bar of soap. Only then did he feel clean.
After changing into clean clothes and entering the house, Chu Yang was still reading and doing homework. The lights in the room were dim.
"Brother, I'm done washing up, you go ahead... Reading at night is bad for your eyes, read tomorrow."
Chu Yang nodded, took his clothes and went to take a shower.
Chu Yun looked at the dirty pillow and smelly quilt on the kang. He couldn't have the audacity to sleep next to Chu Yang again, right?
Chu Yang has a really good temper. He didn’t even kick the original owner out even though he was so sloppy.
Call mom if you have any problems.
"Mom! Mommy mommy!"
"Calling souls?! What for?!"
"Do we have any clean quilts at home? Mine is so dirty and smelly!"
"Who can I blame for the dirty and smelly quilt?! I told you to wash it, but you refused!"
“…I’m giving in now.”
"Who's going to wash your quilt so late at night? There's no replacement quilt, and it's hot so you don't need to cover yourself. Just make do with it for one night."
Wang Guifang felt sleepy at seven o'clock, so she closed the door and went to sleep.
Chu Daqiang in the room was already snoring so loudly that it was deafening. How could Wang Guifang sleep like that?
Chu Yun turned around and went back into the house. He thought, "Let's just make do with it for one night. It shouldn't be too cold the rest of the night..."
Chu Yun pinched his nose and threw the quilt and pillow into the main room. He couldn't stand having such things on his kang.
The hard kang with a mat on it was uncomfortable, leaving marks on Chu Yun's back and arms.
At this time, Chu Yang also came in after taking a shower. He saw Chu Yun tossing and turning on the kang. Her body was covered with red marks, the scratches on her face had not disappeared, and there were many blisters on her small, white feet.
So pitiful.
Chu Yang seemed to see tears in his brother's eyes through the light.
"What's wrong?"
In the past, he would never ask, even if Chu Yun's feet were worn out, he would not say a word.
"elder brother……"
There was a tone of crying in his voice.
"My whole body aches. The kang is too hard. My feet and legs hurt..."
The younger brother started to act like a spoiled child. Chu Yang was a good brother. He turned around and went to the desk drawer to get the ointment.
He used to get bruises from working, and later calluses formed on his hands and feet, so all that was left was the ointment.
I don't know if it has expired.
"Come here and put your feet out."
Chu Yun was too embarrassed to bother Chu Yang to apply the ointment on her, so she whispered, "I'll do it myself."
Chu Yang handed it to him upon hearing that.
Chu Yun moved to the edge of the kang. He didn't dare touch the blisters. He scooped up a little cream with his fingertips and gently applied it to his feet, blowing on them as he did so.
Under the yellow light, Chu Yun's hair had a halo, and her pink lips were pouting, emitting fragrance. Even though she had taken a bath with soap, the fragrance on Chu Yun's body was particularly strong.
I want to help Chuyun blow it.
This thought popped into my mind, but was suppressed before it even emerged.
Chuyang lay on the kang, feeling extremely hot, so he kicked the quilt aside.
"elder brother……"
What happened again?
"Um."
"Aren't you going to cover yourself with the quilt?"
"No."
"Then can you give it to me? I'll lay it out."
What's wrong? Where did he learn to ask such a spoiled question like "Is it okay?"
"Yeah, okay."
Chu Yun happily pulled the quilt across the kang table in the middle and spread it under himself. The summer quilt was thin and still a little hard, but it was much better than nothing.
It took a long time.
"...Brother? Are you asleep?"
Chu Yang didn't fall asleep, but he didn't speak.
"Brother? Brother..."
Seeing that he would keep calling if she didn't wake up, Chu Yang had to open his eyes.
"Um."
"You're awake..."
"……"nonsense.
"I'm itchy and mosquitoes keep biting me. Do we have mosquito coils at home?"
There were no mosquito coils, as they had been used up long ago and Wang Guifang was reluctant to buy more.
"No, let me put some floral water on you."
Chu Yun thought that was fine, so he got up and sat down. Chu Yang also got up and pulled the light cord. Chu Yun had no pillow, so his hair was sticking up from sleeping.
Chu Yang took the floral water and handed it to Chu Yun. This younger brother has been dazed today and is clumsy in his actions.
Just like now, he was busy wiping away the leaking floral water, and the mint scent in the air temporarily suppressed the fragrance on Chu Yun's body.
Chu Yun calmed down when the itchiness on his body stopped. He slept like a pig and soon began to snore softly.
Chu Yang was no longer sleepy.
