Chapter 101: Frightened, the little brother separated from childhood
Tan Shaoyang looked helpless as he saw his cousin worrying about him, "Don't worry, your cousin is not that eager to catch up, he is just a girl. I’m going to marry someone back home.”
“And your mother and my mother will keep a check on me and won’t let me marry anyone at will. Just put your heart into it with peace of mind!”
“There is really no need to worry about these things.”
“It’s cold outside, where are you going?”
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't avoid it, he really wouldn't want to come out. How could he be so comfortable hiding at home?
Zhang Xingning glanced around and said nervously, "I'll take you to see someone, but you can't tell others."
Tan Shaoyang couldn't explain what he said when he looked like this. People are worthy of his nervousness, "Who are you going to see? Look at your mysterious appearance, can't you meet people?"
Zhang Xingning shook his head and explained patiently, "Our family and his family also have It’s something related to my family, but my mother doesn’t allow me to mention it. Every time I say it, I get a beating.”
The two of them reached the place in a hurry.
I came to a relatively dilapidated house. It was deserted. If Zhang Xingning hadn't brought it here, I would have thought that no one lived in it!
Tan Shaoyang followed him in without doubting his presence.
After entering, he saw the skinny young man. Tan Shaoyang was shocked, his pupils subconsciously enlarged, and his eyes shone with disbelief.
My steps were like nails being nailed in place, unable to move even an inch.
This sudden meeting almost made him unable to react.
Isn’t this person the same person who made a name for himself in his previous life?
My name is Zhang Shaojie.
He is a very resilient young man and very tenacious. He has made a name for himself by relying on his own abilities. He is also a person with strong assets.
But such a capable person hates the Tan family deeply. When he sees the deep resentment in their eyes, he wants to twitch and skin them.
Tan Shaoyang also found out later that he was the child given up for adoption by Tan's father and Tan's mother. In the past, his family was poor and could not support so many people, so the child was given away as soon as he was born.
I wanted to choose someone who knew everything about me, so I chose Tan’s mother’s family, who agreed but didn’t come to meet me.
The man chosen was an old bachelor, and he was very considerate of his children. He treated him as his own son from the beginning to the end. The only thing was that he was short-lived and died of illness.
This leaves Zhang Shaojie alone.
You have to be the master of the family at the age of twelve or thirteen. It is extremely difficult to survive. No wonder you resent them.
Tan Shaoyang thought desperately, when he was four or five years old, was Tan's mother pregnant? In the end, I realized that I was too young to remember anything.
Whether she can remember it or not, this is a fact. Mother Tan cried heartbreakingly afterwards, which is enough to show that she really feels sorry for the child.
The helplessness and coercion of that era were purely due to poverty. As long as there was money, who would be willing to share the flesh that fell off his body with others.
Giving a chicken or a duck to others will still feel distressed, let alone a living child. When the baby cries, it can make the mother's heart break!
In this way, it was verified that this man was their brother, and the Tan family really felt guilty for him. After all, they all survived, but he was the only one who was divided, and life was extremely difficult.
Tan's mother promised not to recognize him early on, so she refrained from asking. Naturally, she didn't know that his conditions were difficult, otherwise there wouldn't be a lot of things to come.
Zhang Xingning brought him food. His kindness was no wonder that Zhang Shaojie recognized him later.
After all, the friendship of providing help in times of need is extraordinary and can remain fresh in people's memories and engraved in their bones.
When Tan Shaoyang regained consciousness, even in the cold winter, he was still sweating all over his body, and because of this discovery, he was panting and uneasy.
Now that you know it in advance, you can’t let what happened in your previous life continue.
He really didn't want to bear the resentful look in his last life anymore. If it could be improved, why not solve it subtly?
Zhang Shaojie's eyes are still clear and clear. He has not experienced the blow of life yet. Although there is panic and confusion in his eyes, they are not resentful.
Zhang Xingning said hello, put the food on the table, and took Tan Shaoyang away. It was obvious that he was used to Zhang Shaojie's silent attitude and did not feel any discomfort.
As long as the purpose of coming here is achieved, I won't care about his attitude. After all, his life is really difficult.
"Cousin, let's go first! Xiaojie is very silent and won't talk to us."
"It's just that he is so pitiful. He doesn't even have rice to cook with. If I hadn't brought him some food every now and then, he would have starved to death." His body has always been very weak, and he gets sick easily. If his father hadn't been working hard to make money for his treatment, he would have died long ago."
Tan Shaoyang followed him silently for a moment. Then he asked, "I don't usually see you being so soft-hearted, why are you so different to him?"
Zhang Xingning smiled with a hint of shyness, "His father used to take good care of me. Although his family is poor, he always gives me something to eat.”
“We can’t be ungrateful! We have to give back some kindness to others!”
Tan Shaoyang understood that he must be an adopted man. In order to give back to the Tan family, he subconsciously used things to coax Zhang Xingning when he saw him!
It was also because of his actions that his adopted son got the capital to survive and would not starve to death.
After Tan Shaoyang figured it out, he decided to get in touch with the other party slowly. It would be best to make Zhang Shaojie accept his existence subtly.
"With the new year and the new atmosphere, don't tell your family about this, so as not to be blamed."
Now that Tan Shaoyang knew it, he couldn't ignore it. In the evening, he specially separated it. A supper.
I even asked my aunt to get 100 kilograms of rice and beat it directly into rice grains.
Tan Shaoyang works steadily and has his own rules. No matter what he does, no one will doubt him, so even if his actions are unusual, no one will say anything.
Tan's father and Tan's mother don't care anymore. He is used to doing whatever he wants at home, and he will not lose face when he goes out. Anyway, he has his own considerations.
Tan's mother looked at her son busy and reminded him, "Why are you doing all this? Hurry and eat and go back."
Tan Shaoyang waved his hand, "Mom and dad, you go back first. , I still have something to do!”
The second elder was obviously used to it and didn't bother to talk to him. He went back when he was full.
Tan Shaoyang found a gap and slipped out. Under the cover of night, no one told anyone about the old house in the past.
As soon as Tan Shaoyang approached, he heard a fragile cough. From listening to it, you could tell that the person inside must be sick and suppressing it, so the coughing sound was so dull.
In the cold winter, it is really hard to get sick.
Especially when there is no money for medical treatment, the pain becomes even more unbearable.
Tan Shaoyang didn't hesitate at all. He pushed open the closed door and went in. There were two round door handles at the door. He knocked on the door and made a loud sound. Tan Shaoyang waited for a moment and there was no movement, then he shouted, "Is anyone there? Open the door."
After listening patiently for a moment, he heard a sparse voice. He should have come over to help. He opened the door.
As expected, after a while.
The moment the door opened, Tan Shao came out and saw a Yingwei figure. He looked tall but very thin, and looked like he was malnourished.
He was a bit exaggerated and ridiculously thin, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.
Zhang Shaojie frowned and looked at him, shocked that he would come over, "What's wrong with you?"
Tan Shaoyang also calmly asked him to look at him. According to the traces of his previous life, Zhang Shaojie would remember to hate Tan. Home, that means you already know the truth.
So he was not in a hurry to express his position, and just let the other party take stock of him.
Until he couldn't help but continue to cough, his whole back became rickety, and it was obvious that he was suffering from pain.
Tan Shaoyang brought the rice into the hall and placed the food on the table.
"You are sick. The hard food may not be easy to swallow. I will cook it a little softer for you."
Zhang Shaojie was silent and just watched without saying a word. He was extremely shocked when he saw him earlier, and now that he had left and returned, he didn't know how to react.
"What do you mean by bringing these things here?"
Although I wanted to control his mind and stop him from thinking wildly, he was still out of control.
Tan Shaoyang said, "What else can I do if I bring something here? Of course I'll let you eat it."
"When did your father leave?"
Zhang Shaojie was very awkward, although he didn't want to answer him , but his upbringing from a young age still made him respond, "I've been gone for a month." He was exhausted from running around for him.
Tan Shaoyang nodded and said with comfort in his tone, "Sorry, he can educate you carefully, which means he loves you very much."
"I guess you are hungry too, so let's eat something first. ! ”
There is no need to explain some things in detail, as long as people can feel his kindness.
"Eat quickly and have a good sleep after eating. I will take you to the town tomorrow morning and pick up some medicine. It's not an option to keep coughing like this."
Although Zhang Shaojie doesn't want to be grateful. , but at his age, all he can do is compromise. His body is weak and he doesn’t even have the ability to make money. How can he be tough?
"Why are you pretending to be kind? How long can you support me! Just cough, forget it until you die. No one will feel sorry for you anyway."
Tan Shaoyang raised his hand and rubbed his head. A handful, "It will be no problem to raise you until you can make money. As for whether anyone will feel sorry for you, others dare not think about it. Your father will definitely feel very sad."
"Even for him, you have to live well."
"When you are young, don't always think about depressing things. Life is still long. Who knows what will happen in the future? What if you change in the future? How about becoming a wealthy person?"
"Are you afraid of sleeping alone?"
Zhang Shaojie turned away his head and said with a hint of toughness in his tone, "I have always been alone. "I'm sleeping." Even if he can stay with her, how many days can he stay with her?
He doesn’t want to be left alone just after adapting. He might as well be content with the status quo and adapt by himself!
Tan Shaoyang did not hesitate to praise him, and gave him a thumbs up and said, "He is a little man, he is brave enough!"
"As long as you are not afraid, just wash up and go to bed, tomorrow morning I'll take you to town to get medicine."
"Where are you putting this rice? I'll pack it for you. I'll have someone deliver it to you once every half month. You need to eat more. You're losing weight. , like a praying mantis, no wonder you are always sick."
Tan Shaoyang did not stay long, and left after giving some instructions. He came over when the sky was bright the next day, and found that Zhang Shaojie was a very diligent person, and breakfast had been served. Ready.
A pot of white porridge is also mixed with sweet potatoes. It must be a frugal habit, and there is not much rice.
Tan Shaoyang took the spoon and turned it around. The clear soup was watery. How could he grow taller if he continued to eat like this?
Pour out all the soup, and the porridge inside is only half a bowl, which is not enough for him to take two mouthfuls.
"Let's just have a meal and get some medicine. If you're still hungry, we'll get some more in town."
Zhang Shaojie was confused when he saw this move. I planned to eat for a whole day, but I asked him to pour the water. What else could I eat?
“Why are you so wasteful?”
Tan Shaoyang glanced at him and asked in a calm tone, "Where did I waste it? This is all water. I can't feel full after eating it. If I drink a lot of water, will it make a gurgling sound when I walk?"
" No wonder your body is always sick and your nutrition is not up to par. How can you not get sick? "
"You have to eat well and be strong, so you will not get sick. "< br>
“If you don’t get sick, you don’t have to spend money on medicine. Wouldn’t this save money?”
“Look, this is quite smart. How come you don’t think carefully about doing things?”
Tan Shaoyang stared at him urgently, and Zhang Shaojie finished the bowl of porridge. After he was full, he licked his lips before he remembered, raised his eyes, and looked at him with a weak look, "Have you eaten? "
Tan Shaoyang nodded, "I have eaten at home, I guess you are not willing to cook it, come here to eat with you, keep your hunger."
Zhang Shaojie choked. The half-grown boy's face suddenly turned red.
Tan Shaoyang said, "Wear more clothes. Now that we have gone to the town, it will be cold while riding the bike."
When Zhang Xiaojie was ready, he frowned when he saw his thin clothes. It was wrinkled tightly.
"Do you have any more clothes? Wear two more. How can such thin clothes resist the wind and cold?"
Zhang Shaojie's face turned red with embarrassment again. He wore all the warm clothes, but the conditions at home That’s it!
Thin single clothes will not have much effect on you.
Tan Shaoyang sighed, took out a nylon inner bag for him, and asked him to wrap it around it to keep out the wind and cold.
“Let’s just go to town and buy you a new set there.”
It’s no wonder that he will complain when he grows up. It’s difficult to live under such difficult conditions, so how can he not complain?
They are all children. The older ones are living well, but he is the only one who has been thrown away. Whoever it is would be unbalanced!
If you stand in his position and put yourself in his shoes, you will know where the resentment in his heart comes from, and you will not feel that his resentment is meaningless.
The cold wind blowing along the way can make people's faces and ears numb with cold. This biting cold wind is not made by blowing.
