Chapter 297 The Painful Past (4)
As soon as Ji Tingyang and Ji Zeqiu entered the door, they saw a child of about the same age staring at them closely.
Ji Yiyun had no intention of introducing them to each other, and took Ji Tingyang and the others into a small room of ten square meters, "This is your room, and you three brothers and sisters will live here from now on."
"So small." Ji Zeqiu blurted out.
Their bedroom in Ji's house is more than ten times larger than here. It even has a dressing room and even the bathroom is larger than here.
When Ji Yiyun heard this, her face suddenly darkened, "If you are too young, don't sleep. You will not be allowed to sleep in the future."
How could she live in such a small house if Ji Yanli hadn't wanted to help her? In the house, his son actually laughed at her house.
But God has eyes.
The money for the quarterly banquet still falls in her pocket.
Thinking of this, Ji Yiyun's gloomy expression improved.
And Ji Tingyang was also worried that Ji Zeqiu would say something random again and make Ji Yiyun unhappy, so he reached out and covered his mouth, "Shh."
"Put the things away and come out to work." After Ji Yiyun finished speaking, he turned and left. .
Ji Tingyang put the sleeping Ji Lanyue on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and then led Ji Zeqiu out.
Besides the child, there was also a bearded man sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, looking at them with a gloomy face.
Ji Zeqiu was so frightened that he swallowed his saliva.
Before Ji Tingyang opened his mouth to comfort, Ji Yiyun threw two rags to them, "Go and clean the bathroom."
"We won't..." Ji Tingyang whispered.
They never did any housework when they were at Ji's house, only servants did the cleaning.
At most, when they spilled water on the table, Lin Xu taught them to wipe the table clean with paper towels.
"Go and learn if you don't know how. Wipe whatever is dirty. I didn't raise you for nothing. If the bathroom is not cleaned before dinner, you will not have food to eat." Ji Yiyun snapped.
Ji Tingyang knew that this aunt was not easy to talk to, so he pursed his lips and led Ji Zeqiu into the bathroom.
"Brother, I don't know how to clean." Ji Zeqiu said with red eyes and choked with sobs.
"Just like cleaning the table, just wipe it everywhere and it should be enough." Ji Tingyang didn't understand very well, but he could only clean it reluctantly.
While they were working, they vaguely heard the quarrel outside.
“Our family is already small. If you take the three of them over again, will you let us live there?!”
"Isn't this for the inheritance? I am their guardian now. I will get the money in two days. Then we will move to a big house and a big villa!"
" Did you really do it? "
"Of course, even the Ji family will be ours by then. Do you still have to be that little clerk and suffer the boss's anger? "
"Hahahaha, wife, you are so awesome..."
Ji Zeqiu raised his little head from wiping the floor, blinked and asked, "Brother, what are they talking about?"
Ji Tingyang lowered his head and couldn't see clearly the expression on his face, "It's nothing, hurry up and clean, otherwise there will be no dinner."
"I don't want to clean anymore, my hands are so tired." Ji Zeqiu's soft voice was full of grievance.
Ji Tingyang glanced at him, pursed his lips and said, "Then I will help you clean, and you stand next to me."
The two children did housework for the first time and stayed in the bathroom. For several hours, when Ji Yiyun thought of the two of them, he found them sitting on the bathroom floor and falling asleep with their heads leaning on each other. The bathroom floor was covered in foam.
Ji Yiyun's face turned cold, and he kicked them to wake them up, "Get up, you can't even clean the bathroom, and you dare to be lazy here."
Ji Tingyang immediately pulled him Ji Zeqiu stood up and stood aside obediently.
"Get out, you can't do this job well, what's the use of you, don't eat tonight's dinner." Ji Yiyun said angrily.
When they first heard that there was no dinner, they didn’t take it seriously. But when the aroma of the food wafted through the house and penetrated their noses, their mouths suddenly overflowed with saliva.
Ji Zeqiu swallowed, and his stomach growled, "Brother, I'm so hungry."
Ji Tingyang is not much better than Ji Zeqiu.
He touched his clothes to see if there was anything to eat, but he took out a chocolate from his pocket.
He hesitated for a moment and handed it to Ji Zeqiu, "You can eat it."
Ji Zeqiu stuffed the chocolate into his mouth and finished it in a few seconds, his face still sad, "Brother, I'm still hungry..."
Ji Tingyang thought for a while, "Let's go to bed. If we sleep like my sister, we won't be hungry."
They placed Ji Lanyue in the middle, stretched out their little hands to hug her, and closed their eyes.
I don’t know how long it took, but Ji Zeqiu’s choked voice sounded in the small room, “Brother, I miss my parents.”
Ji Tingyang: “…”
"I miss my grandparents too. They would give me delicious food and tell me bedtime stories when I go to bed..." As Ji Zeqiu spoke, his crying became heavier and heavier, and his tears couldn't stop falling. Come down.
"Stop crying, dad said a man shouldn't shed tears." Ji Tingyang's eyes hidden in the dark night were also a little red.
When Ji Zeqiu heard this, he sniffed hard, "Brother, I want to listen to a bedtime story."
Ji Tingyang's faces were squeezed together, trying to recall the story Lin Xu told him before, "In the forest There is a tortoise and a hare racing..."
In the quiet and dim room, Ji Tingyang's childish voice echoed in the room, softly.
Ji Zeqiu hugged Ji Lanyue tightly, with tears hanging from the corners of his eyes, and fell asleep uneasily.
Ji Tingyang's story-telling voice became smaller and smaller, and he also fell asleep unconsciously.
That night, he had a dream.
I dreamed that the day Lin Xu went out, I reached out to touch his head.
This time he did not run away, but instead threw himself into her arms, "Mom, I miss you so much..."
Lin Xu smiled slightly, caressing her with warm palms His head said, "Tingyang has to take good care of his younger brothers and sisters at home. Dad and mother have to go out for something and will be back soon."
"Mom, don't leave. I will take good care of my younger brothers and sisters. You guys Don't go..."
"I will take good care of them, and I will be obedient in the future. Mom, don't leave..." Ji Tingyang held her hand tightly.
He struggled painfully and refused to let her leave.
Until Ji Tingyang's body was pushed by an external force, pulling him out of his dream.
"Brother, are you having a nightmare?" Ji Zeqiu looked at him worriedly.
Ji Tingyang looked around, but there was no sign of Lin Xu anywhere, and his mood suddenly dropped, "I'm fine."
I gave my aunt a name, otherwise the writing would be a bit confusing
