Yun Qinghuan and her mother-in-law looked at each other, both of them showing helpless expressions.

In the past, whenever Xiao Shitou came to their house, he would rush to work and do all the work he could, but that was to repay Yun Qinghuan's kindness for teaching him how to read and write.

He would listen even if others told him not to do it.

But today, the two people said several times that they would not let him work and let him go outside to read with An An.

After hearing this, Xiao Shitou just scratched his head and laughed, "Auntie, I often do these tasks. Don't worry, I can do it well. As for the books, wait until I get up early tomorrow to study. I'll make it in time."

There was a flattering smile on his face, as if he was afraid that they would dislike him.

Yun Qinghuan looked sad and touched his head, "Okay, then you can do it, but don't tire yourself out."

"Auntie, I know."

Little Stone smiled.

The family said they would not dislike Xiao Shitou, but Xiao Shitou probably wouldn't believe it. All they could do was tell Xiao Shitou in detail that they really didn't dislike him and really welcomed him to their home.

After a long time of seeing people's hearts and getting along with each other for a long time, Little Shitou will understand.

During dinner in the evening, Yun Qinghuan saw that Xiao Shitou had only eaten half a bowl of rice and then put down his chopsticks and stopped eating, while his eyes were fixed on the dishes on the table.

I couldn't help but frown, "Xiao Shitou, why do you only eat so little? Go get more rice. You are growing older, how can you not eat enough?"

There is not enough food to eat.

Xiao Shitou waved his hands hurriedly, "Auntie, I'm full. It's very easy to raise me. I eat less."

Like trying hard to prove that raising yourself is really easy.

Just at this time, Liu Yuzhi finished the rice in her bowl. Before she could react, Xiao Shitou took the bowl from her hand and said, "Grandma, I'll serve it for you."

With that said, he ran to the stove neatly and filled another bowl.

Serve it directly to Liu Yuzhi.

Liu Yuzhi was stunned.

Before she could say a word, the child quickly took An An's empty bowl and filled it with rice.

An An also said, "Brother Shitou, don't fill it up, just fill it up to half a bowl. I can't eat more."

He touched his belly, which was already round and bulging.

"Okay." Xiao Shitou responded, and immediately filled half the bowl for him as An An said.

Yun Qinghuan's face was not very good, and he glared at his son. How could he control Xiao Shitou so naturally?

If his son develops the habit of handling Little Shitou, Little Shitou will have no sense of belonging in this family in the future.

An An was always smart, but when her mother glared at her, she immediately understood what she meant. She hurriedly got off the stool, then went to get the empty bowl of Xiao Shitou next to her. She walked to the stove with a smile and looked at Xiao Shitou, who was a little shocked. He said, "Brother Shitou, it just so happens that you serve me rice and I serve you rice. This is called reciprocity.

He also filled a bowl full of small stones.

Ever since Yun Qinghuan taught An An how to read and write, the little guy can still read some words from time to time.

Xiao Shitou waved his hands in panic, "An'an, I'm full, you don't have to serve it to me."

An An smiled and said, "Brother Shitou, how can you have enough to eat? You are older than me, and you don't eat as much as me. Now that you have come to our house, we cannot let you have enough to eat. From now on, you will be my brother." , if anyone bullies you, just tell me and I will help you teach him a lesson!"

An An raised his fist, very majestic.

Put the bowl full of rice in front of Xiao Shitou.

Yun Qinghuan smiled happily at the side, "Little Shitou, An An is right, you will be his brother from now on. In this family, you are not an outsider, so you don't have to be so polite. Besides, eating more is good for your health. Eat more." With a lot of food, you can grow up quickly."

Not sure which words touched him, Xiao Shitou responded with a nasal hum, picked up the bowl and started eating.

Yun Qinghuan and her mother-in-law looked at each other and knew that the child was probably crying, but they didn't reveal it.

After dinner in the evening, Yun Qinghuan called An An to his room.

As soon as An An came over, he looked at her and grabbed his clothes with both hands, as if he knew that he had done something wrong.

"Do you know why I asked you to come here?"

Her tone was somewhat serious.

The little guy nodded, "Mom, I know I was wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"I shouldn't have asked Brother Shitou to serve me rice, and I shouldn't have ordered him around."

Yun Qinghuan's expression softened a little, knowing that this kid knew it in his heart, so he didn't hurt him. Instead, he pulled him to his side and said softly, "An'an, mom is not blaming you, but what you did is really not right. Okay, your brother Shitou has just lost a relative and has just come to our home. From now on, we will be his relatives, but he will definitely not be used to it, and he will have to adapt."

"Besides, your brother Shitou is the same as you. He is your peer, even your brother, not a servant you can call around. An'an, Xiao Shitou is the same as you. From now on, you have to do your own thing. You know, you can’t use him anymore, you know?”

"I know." An An has always been smart. Although Yun Qinghuan didn't say anything, he also realized that what he did was wrong, "Mom, I'm sorry."

"Don't say sorry to me, you have to say sorry to your brother Shitou."

"From now on, do you know that you will treat Shitou as your own brother?"

The little guy nodded seriously.

Seeing that he understood, Yun Qinghuan said nothing more and waved his hand to let him go back to sleep.

An'an ran out and entered her room. She saw Xiao Shitou reading a book by the kerosene lamp. She hurriedly ran over and said, "Brother Shitou, I'm sorry. I shouldn't let you serve me rice so naturally today."

Xiao Shitou was reading a book and didn't even notice An An running over. He was so violent that he didn't react when he heard his words.

Immediately, a smile appeared on his face, he put down the book, and looked at An An with a hint of doting.

He was grateful to his aunt's family, so he treated An An as his own brother and served rice to his biological brother. He didn't feel anything was wrong.

"An'an, why do you say that? Brother Shitou should serve you rice."

An An shook his head, "No, Shitou is my brother, he doesn't care for me. Brother Shitou, you will be my brother from now on, and I will protect you!"

Xiao Shitou's heart felt hot, and his eyes felt hot. He raised his head and touched An An's head, "You are also my biological brother, and I will protect you from now on."

As soon as An An lay down on the bed to sleep, Xiao Shitou consciously put out the kerosene lamp.

Most people in the village stop all activities as soon as it gets dark. Even if they have kerosene lamps at home, they would not light them unless there are special circumstances.

In the past, Xiao Shitou's house didn't even have a kerosene lamp, only two candles for emergencies.

Kerosene lamps are very expensive, so Xiao Shitou will not light a kerosene lamp to read a book. He wants to save some money for his aunt.

Lying on the bed, Xiao Shitou slept on the outside, covered with a new thin quilt, which was very warm.

In the night, no one saw Xiaoshi's tears soaking the pillow next to him.
