Chapter 54
Chapter 53
Ji Zhile suddenly felt a sense of crisis
When Si Tian heard Ji Ningyi’s soft voice, her heart felt turbulent, and she held Ji Ningyi’s hand.
“How do you want to help Pei Jing?”
This Ji Ningyi has already thought about it: “Mom, can I let Pei Jing come to our house for dinner? Pei Jing’s mother is often not at home, Pei Jing will be hungry.”
Secretary Tian nodded: “Yes, as long as Pei Jing is willing.”
“If Pei Jing is kicked out by his mother in the future, can we still let Pei Jing come to our house to sleep?”
Si Tian continued to nod, and then said, “I didn’t expect Ning Yi to have thought of so many ways.”
Ji Ning smiled shyly, and said softly, “It would be great if Pei Jing’s mother was better.”
Si Tian also hopes to do so, but it seems difficult.
She also thought about helping Pei Jing, but there seemed to be no good way.
Pei Jing is not an orphan and can be adopted. He still has relatives in this world. Pei Jing’s mother treated him poorly, but she did not abandon him.
Their relationship with Pei Jing was just neighbors and classmates, and such a relationship would hardly be of any substantial help to Pei Jing.
Because of the blood relationship, they can’t let Pei Jing’s mother live in their house all the time, and they can’t call the police. In such a situation, the police generally don’t deal with it. At most, they criticize education. The scene may intensify.
Si Tian also found it very difficult. The method Ji Ningyi mentioned just now was the best way they could do. Her son really thought clearly at a young age.
Looking at Ji Ningyi’s still frowning little brows, Si Tian said: “Let’s go see if Pei Jing has finished taking a shower, it’s almost time for bed.”
Ji Ning nodded.
Tonight’s bedtime story is in Ji Zhile’s room, Ji Zhile opened the door early and waited for someone to come.
As the footsteps got closer, Ji Zhile raised his head and looked at the door.
Mom, brother… and brother Pei Jing!
Ji Zhile’s eyes widened, and his tone was pleasantly surprised: “Brother Pei Jing is here too!”
Pei Jing was a little embarrassed, Si Tian pressed his little shoulders, and said to Ji Zhile: “Pei Jing comes to our house tonight, let’s listen to stories and sleep together.”
“Okay!” Ji Zhile gave up his little bed excitedly, and even patted the seat next to him, warmly inviting, “Brother Pei Jing, please sit with me.”
Si Tian took a look at their sitting postures, and felt that it was a bit like an evening conversation around the stove. She felt that she was a bit like that stove, surrounded by three children and stared at by three pairs of bright eyes.
As expected of the future male protagonist and male supporting role, everyone is very good-looking, looking at her quietly and expectantly makes people feel much happier.
Si Tian coughed lightly: “Then can I tell the story of the three little pigs building a house tonight?”
“Can.”
“don’t want!”
The warm atmosphere was broken a bit, Si Tian smiled and looked at Ji Zhile: “Why not?”
Ji Zhile said, “I’ve heard this story before, so I want to replace it with a new one.”
He asked for a lot: “If you want a story like a smart fox, mom, can you tell a story about a puppy? You want a smart and cute puppy.”
Si Tian continued to smile: “Since you have heard it, how about you talk about it tonight?”
Unexpectedly, Ji Zhile happily asked: “Really?”
Si Tian: “Of course.”
She secretly confirmed with Xiao Ai that as long as one sentence is said, it is also a story, so she said just now, “The story of the three little pigs building a house” should be counted as a matter of emotion and reason.
Xiao Ai was silent, but the assessment requirements did not limit the length of the story.
Why does its host always have so many ideas to exploit loopholes? !
Now that her mother agreed, Ji Zhile naturally became the main storyteller tonight.
“Mom, we need to change positions, I want to be in the middle.” Ji Zhile made a request, the storyteller must be in the center, he is very strict.
Si Tian exchanged with him in a good-tempered manner.
But when Ji Zhile saw his mother sitting in his place, with an elder brother on his left and elder brother Pei Jing on his right, he had nothing to rely on, and immediately said, “Mom, let’s change back.”
This way he can be next to his mother and brother Pei Jing, Ji Zhile is still a little clingy before going to bed at night.
Si Tian didn’t have much of a good temper in the first place, and she lost it after a few tosses: “Ji Zhile, do you still want to tell stories?”
Ji Zhile said, “Okay.”
He coughed softly: “Today we tell the story of the three little pigs building a house, can we?”
Si Tian: “I asked this question just now.”
Ji Zhile frowned: “But now I’m telling you a story, and I have to do it again.”
Si Tian: …All right.
She thinks that when Ji Zhile grows up, he will definitely be the kind of master who will use a chicken feather as an arrow, and he will be particularly difficult to serve.
After going through the steps again, Ji Zhile was satisfied. He had read this story in a book, and he probably remembered it. He didn’t look for a story book at the moment, so he told it according to his own memory.
“Once upon a time there were three pig brothers, they decided to build a spacious and bright house, the boss…”
Well, what did Boss Pig use to build his house? Ji Zhile found that he seemed to be unable to remember for a while, so he said, “I’ll look for books.”
Si Tian couldn’t help laughing, and Ji Zhile immediately frowned at her: “Mom, what are you laughing at?”
Si Tian said, “Why haven’t you prepared the story you want to tell?”
Ji Zhile blushed a little, but found an excuse for himself: “I just forgot a little bit.”
Seeing Si Tian smiling, Ji Zhile said angrily, “Then let you tell the story!”
Si Tian waved her hand: “But I have already given you the seat.”
Ji Zhile, who is usually picky, let him feel the power of Xiong’s parents at this time.
Ji Zhile blinked: “Okay, I’ll go find a book.”
He rummaged through the bookcases, but he couldn’t find the story. Ji Zhile was very anxious, and Si Tian urged him behind him: “Hurry up, it’s bedtime, and I can’t fall asleep without a story.”
Ji Zhile was flustered. In the end, he couldn’t find the book, and couldn’t remember much of the story. He came back dejectedly: “I forgot.”
Si Tianxin thinks that Ji Zhile knows that storytelling is not easy tonight, so he will be less picky in the future.
Ji Zhile looked up at Ji Ningyi and Pei Jing, trying to ask for help: “Brother, Brother Pei Jing, can you do it?”
Seeing Ji Zhile’s pitiful appearance, Pei Jing said, “I remember.”
Ji Zhile immediately cheered: “Brother Pei Jing is the best!”
He immediately changed places with Pei Jing, sitting in the center and unable to tell the story was too anxious.
For example, when a kindergarten kid praises him on stage, the teacher will ask the children in the audience to applaud and cheer him on. At this moment, Ji Zhile clenched his fists: “Brother Pei Jing, come on!”
Pei Jing bent his lower lip.
He is not very good at telling stories, no one has told him specifically, and he has never told others. The first time was actually at this time, in the Ning family.
This kind of experience was very novel to Pei Jing, he was a little nervous, took a deep breath, and told the story completely according to the teacher’s memory in his memory.
Finally got a clap of applause.
Ji Zhile’s eyes were shining brightly, and she looked adoring: “Brother Pei Jing can tell it without a book, it’s amazing, even better than my mother!”
Si Tian: Why are you still doing procrastination…
But Pei Jing did speak very emotionally, much better than her reading from the script.
“Yes, I also think that if Pei Jing doesn’t come home tomorrow night, can he also come to our house to tell stories?” Si Tian released a positive signal.
Ji Ningyi also said, “Pei Jing, come here.”
Pei Jing’s face was slightly hot: “Okay.”
Tonight, after the story was told, Ji Zhile did not fall asleep as usual, he was very excited: “Where does Brother Pei Jing sleep?”
Si Tian said, “Pei Jing, where do you want to sleep? Both Ning Yi and Zhi Le’s rooms are fine.”
Pei Jing said, “I’ll just sleep in Zhile’s room.”
Ji Zhile’s thing is to get in and out of bed, and he won’t bother them too much because of his arrival.
Ji Zhile immediately said, “Yes!”
In this way, someone will accompany him when he goes to the bathroom at night.
Si Tian also respected Pei Jing’s opinion, and Ji Ningyi was not unhappy because of this, his eyes were squinted: “Then we can have breakfast together tomorrow morning.”
There were only Ji Zhile and Pei Jing in the room. Watching Pei Jing climb up to the upper bunk, Ji Zhile thought about it and gave Pei Jing his own doll.
“Let Wanwan sleep with you at night, so you won’t be afraid.”
Pei Jing said, “I’m not afraid.”
Ji Zhile insisted, “I’ll be scared, it’s dark at night.”
He would be scared when he went to sleep at his grandmother’s house, because it wasn’t a place where he often stayed. Ji Zhile thought Brother Pei Jing would be scared too, but Brother Pei Jing is already in elementary school, so he must be too embarrassed to admit it.
Seeing Ji Zhile’s insistence, Pei Jing took the doll: “Thank you Zhile.”
Ji Zhile said, “You’re welcome.”
Since a new person went to bed, Ji Zhile had a lot of questions to ask: “Is Brother Pei Jing sleeping alone at home?”
In the dark environment, Pei Jing pinched the soft body of the doll: “Yes.”
No one sleeps with him, he is used to being alone, so he is not afraid of the dark.
“My brother and I also sleep alone, we are both very good.” Ji Zhile praised others and wanted to praise himself.
“Brother Pei Jing told a really good story tonight. Let’s listen to my mother’s story tomorrow night. My mother’s story is also very good.”
Pei Jing gave a low “hmm”, his mother’s wine should be sober tomorrow, and he won’t be locked out of the door. For a while, Pei Jing didn’t know whether it was luck or misfortune.
Although Ji Zhile was very excited, his biological clock had a strong influence, and he fell asleep while talking.
Pei Jing put the doll beside his pillow and fell asleep too.
It’s just that Pei Jing was woken up in the middle of the night, and someone was calling him in his ear.
Pei Jing had a nightmare and thought he was still at home. Once his mother dropped something at home after being drunk, he was woken up and was a little scared, but he huddled on the bed and didn’t dare to move, fearing that he would be hurt.
Even though he was not awake, his body remained curled up in a self-protective posture, frowning and motionless, as if this could avoid harm.
Until one hand touched his face, accompanied by the child’s anxious voice: “Brother Pei Jing, wake up.”
This reminded Pei Jing, his body slowly relaxed, he blinked, and saw his surroundings clearly, he was in Ji Zhile’s room.
Ji Zhile withdrew the hand that touched his face just now, and looked at him anxiously and a little bit shyly.
“What’s wrong?”
Ji Zhile whispered, “Brother Pei Jing, can you accompany me to the bathroom? I’m so scared by myself.”
“Okay.” Pei Jing got off the bed, and Ji Zhile was standing by the bed, climbing off the stool he had just stepped on.
He grabbed Pei Jing’s hand: “This way I won’t be afraid.”
A really timid kid.
After going to the bathroom, Ji Zhile said, “Brother Pei Jing can call me if you want to go to the bathroom later.”
He’s fair. If Pei Jing is with him, he will be with Pei Jing.
Jing Pei nodded and said yes.
But until the alarm clock rang the next day, Pei Jing didn’t ask Ji Zhile to accompany him to the bathroom.
Pei Jing woke up when the alarm clock rang for the first time, and crawled out of bed. He found that Ji Zhile was still sleeping, but he was also disturbed by the alarm clock. He turned over, covered his head with the quilt, and continued to sleep.
Pei Jing wondered, they went to bed very early last night, how could someone want to sleep after sleeping for so long.
After turning off the alarm clock, Pei Jing thought for a while, and resorted to artificial waking up to call Ji Zhile.
Lifting the quilt, Ji Zhile said in a daze, “Brother Pei Jing, can I sleep for another five minutes, just five minutes.”
After a night of sleep, Ji Zhile’s voice was rustling and childish, so she could act like a baby. Pei Jing had never met such a child before, so he could only say: “Okay.”
Last night, Si Tian prepared a toothbrush and towel for Pei Jing. After brushing his teeth, Pei Jing found that five minutes had come, and woke Ji Zhile up again.
Ji Zhile was as dazed as before: “Brother Pei Jing, I’ll sleep for a while, one minute, just one minute.”
Pei Jing frowned: “But you have been asleep for five minutes just now.”
“Just a minute more, please.”
“Okay…” Pei Jing still couldn’t resist Ji Zhile’s coquettish offensive.
He looked at the alarm clock, watched the second hand turn around, and immediately woke up Ji Zhile. Ji Zhile tried to act like a baby, but Pei Jing picked him up.
He was sitting on the bed, with slightly curly and messy hair on his head, looking stunned.
Pei Jing looked at Ji Zhile, and felt that he was very strange. How could someone wake up after being called twice and still look like he didn’t get enough sleep?
Ji Zhile said: “I’ll wash my face right away, wait a while.”
Pei Jing went to wash his face again, after tidying up everything, he saw Ji Zhile and lay down again.
Pei Jing was shocked, and the alarm clock rang for the second time. This time, Pei Jing saw Ji Zhile move, and then sat up from the bed. After only two seconds, he quickly went to wash his face and brush his teeth, very quickly, just like the slow look just now It’s like two different people.
While washing his face, Ji Zhile said, “Brother Pei Jing, wait for me, let’s go down together.”
Usually, Ji Zhile was the last one to go downstairs, and he finally slept with Pei Jing, so he must go downstairs with Pei Jing, so that he would not be the latest.
Pei Jing agreed, and helped Ji Zhile fold the quilt, and found out the school uniform. When Ji Zhile came out of the bathroom, he was shocked. He went downstairs two minutes earlier than usual this time, because he didn’t have to fold clothes and Quilt.
Ji Zhile immediately felt the benefits of having someone to sleep with, and leaned over to Pei Jing and said, “Brother Pei Jing, let’s sleep together tonight.”
He tempted: “I’ll lend you the little bear. It’s my favorite doll. It’s only lent to my mother and elder brother. They like it very much.”
Before Pei Jing answered, Si Tian heard Ji Zhile’s words: “Ji Zhile, do you think anyone can be bribed by your doll, at least give me something more.”
Ji Zhile thought for a while, then lowered his voice and said to Pei Jing, “The snacks I hid can also be shared with you.”
He is a little bit pained, because no one secretly supplies him with snacks now, which means that he will be gone after eating, but Ji Zhile is willing to take out some snacks so that he doesn’t have to fold the quilt and clothes.
But unfortunately, this did not tempt Pei Jing, Pei Jing said: “I should go home tonight.”
Ji Zhile was sullen: “Okay.”
Even if Si Tian didn’t hear what Ji Zhile said to Pei Jing, she could guess the reason why Ji Zhile was so active. She asked, “Did Brother Pei Jing fold the quilt for you today?”
Before Ji Zhile could say anything, Pei Jing gave an embarrassing hum. At this moment, he realized that Auntie seemed to want Ji Zhile to do this by himself.
Si Tian said: “Ji Zhile, you can also ask me to help you.”
Ji Zhile immediately asked excitedly: “Is it okay, Mom?”
“Of course.” Si Tian smiled, “It costs 100 to make a quilt, and you don’t need to make clothes.”
Ji Zhile was stunned: “Mom, you are so expensive…”
Ji Zhile felt that he could not afford this service.
But he thought about it again and asked, “If I help my mother fold the quilt, will my mother give me a hundred yuan?”
Si Tian said, “No, I have my own hands.”
How can there be such a good business?
“Okay.” Even though Ji Zhile doesn’t like folding clothes and quilts, he can do it for a hundred yuan, because picking up bottles only earns eight yuan, and a hundred yuan is really a lot.
“Okay, let’s have breakfast.” Si Tian poured everyone a glass of milk.
Once Ji Ning got used to drinking milk, he quickly drank a glass without frowning and pinching his nose.
And Pei Jing didn’t hate it, so he drank it in one go.
Si Tian immediately praised: “Pei Jing and Ning Yi drink milk so fast, let’s have another glass.”
She poured another glass for the two children and said, “Drink more and grow taller.”
The two children drank without any burden, but Ji Zhile was shocked when he saw that he had only drank a little milk.
It used to be that there was only one elder brother, Ji Zhile and Ji Ning grew up together and got used to it, but now that there is an extra child and a clear comparison group, Ji Zhile feels that he is too far behind.
Drinking milk can grow taller, so isn’t he the only one who is the shortest? And mom keeps praising them.
Ji Zhile suddenly felt a sense of crisis, pinched his nose and gulped down the milk. He had never finished a glass of milk so readily, and then handed the empty glass to Si Tian: “Mom, I want more!”
