"go out."

Dongzhi came to his senses, stopped looking at him, and lowered his eyes to continue washing dishes.

He said, "I'm not, I...I came down to the kitchen to find a drink, but I didn't expect you to be here."

The cold water rushes on her hands, and her fair and white skin clearly reveals her blood vessels, and she doesn't say anything.

Chen caught a glimpse of the dragon head facing the right, frowned, took a step forward, and stopped immediately after realizing it, "Don't use cold water when the weather is cold, turn the faucet and use hot water."

Dongzhi's tone was hard: "No."

"you……"

The sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside.

Chen turned to look at the kitchen, and Dongzhi looked up. Chen reacted quickly. The next second, without saying a word, he went forward and turned off the water. He pulled Dongzhi's wrist and hid in the innermost storage room next to him.

As soon as the door was closed, both breathed a sigh of relief, and their eyes met, were stunned for a moment.

Chen leaned against the shelf that occupied most of the position. Although he had already tried hard to lean back, he still couldn't get much distance away.

They were close to each other, Dongzhi did not look at him, but looked down, but seemed to be buried in his arms, so he had to look at other places with his face.

As soon as she lowered her head, Chen could see Dongzhi's hair top. Then, she had two curled eyelashes, and her tall and delicate nose bridge drew a beautiful curve.

Chen raised his chin so that she could be more comfortable.

The small space where we could hear each other's breathing was so quiet that embarrassment spread silently.

The people outside the storage room were busy in the kitchen, probably not Dong Qinsao, and they didn't hear the sound of water flowing and washing dishes.

Chen asked in a low voice: "Dongzhi, are you still angry about the last incident?"

Dongzhi frowned and lowered his voice: "Don't talk."

He was quiet for a while, and not long after, he spoke again: "Dongzhi..."

"What are you doing?" She glared at him.

"sorry."

“…”

"I caused you a lot of trouble. That thing is my fault. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be scolded or beaten. I obviously wanted you to be happy, but it hurt you."

“…”

"It's right for you to be angry, and you should be bothered by me, it's because I'm not good."

Dongzhi lowered his eyes, "What's the point of saying these?"

Chen moved his lips and before he could speak, there was still a noise outside.

The two people in the storage room were nervous.

There was a voice outside, so Chen and Dongzhi didn't dare to make any sounds again.

There seemed to be three or four people who heard the sound, and they were very loud, one by one, one by one:

"Come on, pick and wash all the bags of vegetables quickly, and wait to kill the animals later..."

"Kill here?"

"Of course I went to the yard to kill it! How could this be done? There are also live pigs!"

"Wow, the yard is so clean, my wife is really willing to do it."

"What's the matter? It's not that no one cleans it. Do you think it's like us? We are the life of working..."

Talk and chat, the voice stopped for a while and soon continued.

"I think there is a yard behind it, too?"

"Where? You said Dong Qinsao's house?"

"Ah! That yard is not big, but killing pigs is definitely enough!"

"Then Mrs. Dong Qin still has to live in the yard. She killed pigs in her yard two years ago." The person who spoke was a servant who had been working as a servant for more than three years. Dong Zhi recognized her voice. She said, "After killing the pig, she came to work in front of her. No one cleaned it. After finishing the work, everyone went home to rest, and would not help her clean it. She had to finish it alone for two or three days? That time she was so tired that she was half-hearted. Later, she told Mrs. Chen that she wouldn't kill pigs at her door."

"Ms. Chen is so nice to her?"

"That must be, Mrs. Dong Qin has been a person in the Chen family for more than ten years."

Someone answered: "I think she is just ungrateful. Mrs. Chen treats her well. What about her? I teach her a daughter. She doesn't learn well at a young age..."

The two people in the storage room heard the voices outside, but could still hear the conversation: "The last incident made Mrs. Chen so angry that she was in a bad mood for several days. She didn't look good when she saw her, so Mrs. Chen was just good. If someone else had probably fired her!"

Then there was a lot of consent.

"Who said no? Her daughter actually asked Mrs. Chen's son to buy her... buy a violin! A few thousand yuan a piece! It's expensive..."

"If I had such a daughter, I would have beaten her to obey her, so I went to high school, right? Tsk tsk, I have so much thoughts, a girl doesn't know how to avoid suspicion from a boy. Last time I asked Mrs. Dong Qin on purpose, and I said your daughter is very powerful and she will definitely find a good husband in the future. You will be waiting to enjoy your happiness!"

"What did she say?"

"Say? She has no face to say anything. Just put a stern face on my nose and put it on my nose!"

The more they talk, the more they become, gossip has always been the best life adjustment for such women.

It was still said outside that the content was Dong Qinsao and Dong Zhi.

I don't know when it will end.

Dongzhi wanted to look down at the ground, but Chen blocked him.

How much can a person be squeezed? When he is helpless, he cannot even choose the way he likes in a daze.

They were happy. I don’t know how long it took, Dongzhi lowered his eyes and took a deep breath. When he felt that the irritability was about to be suppressed, he suddenly stretched out his hands and covered her ears.

Dongzhi was stunned.

Chen just had a stern face, his lips were tightly pursed, and his eyebrows were vaguely frowned. He wanted to inquire, but he couldn't see it in detail. He covered Dong Zhi's ears with both hands, and his light looked towards the door, listening to the chat outside with an unexpected expression.

Dong Zhi stared at him blankly, and Chen turned his gaze and looked at her.

He pursed his lips and said to her silently with his mouth: "Don't listen."

The palm of her palm was close to her ears. I don’t know if she heard the blood flowing in the blood vessels or his pulse, she heard the sound like the wind.

Memories related to the Chen family have been around since early on. Dongzhi lived in a small house behind the Chen family since he was born.

The existence of their family is like an affiliate of the Chen family.

She didn't understand this gap before she became sensible. At that time, Chen Zhi's grandfather was still there, and her father Dong Yu was still there.

When she was a child, she and Chen were always placed in the same yard to play. Two children sat on the same chair and could play for a long time just by eating a pack of snacks.

At that time, Grandpa Chen raised a dog. He didn't like famous dogs, so he raised that yellow local dog.

When the adults are there, the dog is very obedient. When the adults walk away a little, the dog will bark constantly, showing his ability.

Dongzhi thought it was bad. At the age of three or four, he was so scared that he sat on the chair and opened his mouth and cried. At this time, Chen would put down the snacks in his hand, turn around with great effort, and cover her ears with great difficulty.

He was so big that he couldn't even speak cleanly, and he couldn't pronounce his words clearly. He even comforted her seriously, saying, "Don't cry, don't cry, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."

Sometimes she would stop, sometimes she would not. If she still cried, Chen would frown when he saw that he could not coax her, and turned his head and shouted fiercely at the yellow dog: "Dog! Go out! Bah, Bah--"

In fact, she hadn't remembered it clearly for a long time, but she relived those scenes in the repeated teasings of adults again and again.

The helper who picked and washed vegetables outside the door was finally finished. Dongzhi took back his thoughts when he walked away, and the world finally quieted again.

Chen withdrew his hand, didn't put it down, and stopped halfway, pulling her collar.

"You go out first. I've stood for so long and went home to rest. Don't wash it." He said, "I'll wait for you to leave and wait for a while before going out, no one will talk about you."

...

Mrs. Dong Qin went home very late. The Chen family was completely busy and everyone left. She was the last one to leave.

As soon as he entered the hall, he saw that Dongzhi had not yet slept. Dong Qinsao was stunned and frowned: "Why aren't you sleeping yet? You won't go to school tomorrow?"

"Get out to drink water." Dong Zhi said, but hesitated for a long time before taking a sip. She seemed to be inadvertently, "When you do things, do anyone tell me?"

"What?" Mrs. Dong Qin turned her head, and after hearing it clearly, she curled her lips, "What do you mean by me? I have anything to say."

"What about me? I'll talk about children or something when chatting."

Mrs. Dong Qin froze for a moment, and a discomfortable look flashed for a moment, but the next second, she scolded like impatiently: "What's there to talk about? Do you think everyone knows you? No one can finish the work... No one talks about you!" She rushed Dong Zhi back to her room, "Go and go, hurry back to sleep, and think about what's wrong every day."

Dongzhi didn't give up: "Those aunts and the others didn't..."

"No! You have anything to mention, don't gild yourself on your face!" Mrs. Dong Qin looked like she didn't want to pay attention to her, "Ask these questions, it's so sacred. If no one asks, just ask! Don't talk nonsense, go back to sleep!"

Dongzhi took two sips of warm water, put down the cup, and turned around and walked towards the room.

When he arrived at the door, Dongzhi stopped and looked back. Mrs. Dong Qin was holding a rag and rubbing the table top hard.

Time is unforgiving, and her back has become somewhat vicissitudes.

...

The lights were not turned on in the room, Dongzhi sat on the head of the bed, pondering at the darkness.

Mrs. Dong Qin returned to her room. There was no movement in the hall, nor was there any light coming in from under the crack in the door. The lights in her room were always turned off quickly. After all, she had to work during the day. Usually, she would go to bed after washing her home and touch her pillow.

If a clock is hung on the wall, you can probably hear the ticking of time passing.

After a long time, Dongzhi picked up the mobile phone on the table, opened the social software, flipped through the list, found the account of the girl named Zhan Jing, and stopped immediately with his fingertips.

Her fingers touched the screen and wrote a whole paragraph.

My fingertips hang above the screen for a long time, and finally click to send.
Chapter completed!
