But he had never let a woman as young as this aunt wash him, and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

She held on to her panties tightly and refused to take them off.

Xu Niannian had no choice but to squat down and ask him:

"What's wrong?"

Lu Ze pursed his lips:

"I can wash myself with my brother."

Xu Niannian looked at the muddy floor in the kitchen and thought, if they washed it themselves, they would definitely not be able to walk here tomorrow.

An idea popped up in her mind: there couldn't be a difference between boys and girls at such a young age.

They had only known each other for one day, and he was asked to take off the other person's pants and help her bathe, so he would have some resistance.

Her eyes fell on Lu Huaijin, who also noticed the movement here, washed his hands, and walked over:

"You go inside first, I'll help them wash."

At the house of Sister Li next door, after the family finished their meal, Sister Li took out the biscuits that Xu Niannian had sent and put them on the table.

Erniu's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he reached out and took a piece:

"Mom, it's actually cookies!"

"Yes, it was given to me by the new Aunt Xu next door."

Erniu couldn't wait to put the biscuit into his mouth. It was crispy with a sweet fragrance, and if you eat carefully, you can also smell the milky flavor.

The four of them each got one piece. Mrs. Li thought the biscuit was delicious, even better than what she had eaten at noon.

Her husband, who has never been a big fan of sweets, also ate one.

Erniu kept staring at his father's biscuit. His father didn't like to eat these, so he would usually share them with the two of them.

He actually finished eating today, and his eyes were as big as bells.

His father was a little embarrassed at first, thinking that he was a little greedy today and actually ate sweets. Usually he thought that these were things for women and children, but they tasted really good.

He couldn't help but smack his lips, and then he saw Erniu staring at him.

The embarrassment immediately disappeared, and was replaced by:

"Why are you staring at me with those big black eyes while I eat a cookie?"

Erniu felt guilty after hearing this angry scolding, and pouted at his mother:

"Mom, Aunt Xu next door is really amazing. The cookies she brought are so delicious."

Sister Li still had the sweet taste of the biscuits in her mouth:

"I don't know if she's amazing or not, but she's pretty. Oh, she's Lu Ze's aunt. Please look after them in the nursery. We can come back together after school."

Erniu glared back at him:

"But...but Lu Ze's brother is a fool."

Sister Li's curled lips immediately lowered, her expression serious:

"What are you talking about? Can you say such things casually?"

Erniu also lowered his head. It was indeed not nice to say bad things about someone just after eating her food. However, he still muttered:

"It's not me who said that, they all said that."

Sister Li looked at her husband and continued:

"Why do they say that?"

"His brother didn't say a word. He just sat under the tree looking at the ants."

Sister Li felt relieved:

"Don't follow others and spread rumors. It's nothing. The child is just too well-behaved."

Anyway, she had met him a few times on the road, and she didn't look stupid.

After hearing this, Erniu did not refute. After all, the cookies were so delicious. He decided to get along well with Lu Ze for the sake of the cookies.

Lu Huaijin washed Lu Ze and the others clean, only to find out how much mud was hidden on their bodies.

It was his fault that he had been on a mission and neglected to do so. He wiped them both clean and stuffed them directly into the bed.

He tucked in the quilt and left the room.

Lu Ze smelled the fragrance on his body, and then he moved closer to smell his brother's body, which also smelled fragrant. His mood suddenly became good.

I fell asleep hugging my brother.

Lu Huaijin simply washed up and walked into the bedroom. He saw Xu Niannian leaning against the head of the bed wearing a nude pajamas with a serious expression.

He got on the bed and lay down:

"What are you thinking about?"

Xu Niannian turned her head and looked at Lu Huaijin beside her:

"Did your brother get hurt when he was a child?"

Lu Huaijin thought for a few seconds:

"There shouldn't be any serious injuries, but I don't know about the minor ones."

He had been in the army before, and had not had much contact with the children before taking them in. If it weren't for Mr. and Mrs. Lu having something to do, it wouldn't have been his turn to raise them.

Xu Niannian spoke hesitantly:

"I think he seems to have some problems. Maybe he is a little autistic."

This is not a nice thing to say. Given the current domestic development, he may not even understand the word autism.

Sure enough, Lu Huaijin frowned:

"The aunt who took care of him before only said that he was relatively quiet and didn't like to talk."

Xu Niannian also nodded. People nowadays must think that quiet children are easy to take care of.

However, these words finally made Lu Huaijin a little suspicious. In the past, he felt that his brother was still young and had never raised a child, so he thought it was normal for children to be like this.

Neither of them was in the mood to do anything tonight.

After Xu Niannian fell asleep, she had another dream.

In the dream, Lu Ze was pelted with stones by a group of little boys.

They were still shouting:

"You have no father or mother, so why do you live in our family compound?"

"That's right, are you embarrassed to use your uncle's quota?"

"You brought a little fool with you. If you have the guts, let your brother scream."

Lu Ze clenched his fists and punched straight at one of them. He was ruthless, but the other party was more numerous and powerful, and soon they pinned the man down.

It didn't matter that he was bullied, but when he looked up, he saw someone bullying his brother.

He suddenly went crazy and bit the person who was pressing him.

The other party was just a child after all. Seeing Lu Ze’s red eyes, he didn’t dare to suppress him anymore and stood up.

Lu Ze took the opportunity to run to his brother and hug him.

"Lu Ze is not crazy, it's so scary."

"That's right, we're just joking, isn't it?"

The child who had just been bitten was so angry that he picked up another stone from the ground and threw it over.

Lu Ze glared at them angrily, then slipped and hit his head on a large rock next to him.

Blood immediately gushed out of his head.

The child who threw the stone just now immediately shouted out guiltily:

"He crashed into it himself. It has nothing to do with me. It has nothing to do with me."

Lu Yilin looked at his brother lying in a pool of blood and shouted:

"elder brother."

Then he ran with his short legs to find an adult, but his legs were too short and when he called for help, Lu Ze was sent to the hospital, his brain was already severely injured.

Medical care is limited.

In the following years, Lu Ze's father returned, and Lu Yilin grew up to become an adult.

The people who appeared in the accident disappeared mysteriously one by one.

Xu Niannian watched all this from the side, shouting:

"Lu Ze, Lu Ze."

Then I fell into a warm embrace.

Lu Huaijin turned on the light, touched the back of her head with one hand, and asked in a low voice:

"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

I felt something wet on her face just now.
