Chapter 57
Chapter 56
My elder brother is only my younger brother.
Si Tian also understood Ji Zhile’s logic. Facing the child’s bright eyes, she chose to refuse: “No.”
Ji Zhile said, “But I already peeled the chestnuts for you.”
Si Tian is still cold: “I refuse your help, you can eat by yourself, I won’t eat fried skewers tonight.”
Ji Zhile held a chestnut in his hand and turned his gaze to Ji Ningyi: “Brother, do you want to eat it?”
Ji Ningyi also shook his head: “No need.”
Even if he ate, he wouldn’t help Zhile persuade his mother.
Ji Zhile sighed, ate the chestnuts himself, and deliberately said: “You don’t want to forget it, it’s delicious.”
Si Tian was not tempted by him, so she laughed: “I can peel it myself.”
Pei Jing silently peeled off one and handed it to Si Tian: “Give it to Auntie.”
Si Tian’s smile became brighter, and she purposely glanced at Ji Zhile: “So I can eat fried chestnuts if Zhile doesn’t give it to me.”
Ji Zhile stopped talking and ate his food silently.
Since I ate fried skewers two nights ago, Si Tian told my aunt to make something lighter tonight, so there are more vegetarian dishes on the table, including shredded carrots and fried shredded cabbage, but I avoided the spinach and Tofu dish.
Ji Ningyi is the kind of kid who would silently eat something if he didn’t like it very much, and Ji Zhile was the kind of kid who would yell not to eat anything he didn’t like, and he didn’t eat a lot.
Ji Zhile likes to eat meat. As soon as he saw the vegetarian dishes on the table, he looked left and right. After waiting for a while, he didn’t see other dishes being served again. He opened his big eyes and asked, “Mom, there are no other dishes. ?”
Si Tian said: “These are all, you may not be able to finish them yet.”
Ji Zhile pouted, but there was nothing he wanted to eat.
As soon as the three children sat on the table, Ji Zhile took a spoon and poked in the bowl, hesitated for a long time, and finally made up his mind to scoop up the crab roe tofu, and took a mouthful, when Ji Zhile saw Ji Ning One and Pei Jing.
They ate deliciously, with big mouthfuls, not at all reluctant.
Pei Jing said, “Auntie, your food is really delicious.”
Ear caught the word “delicious”, and Ji Zhile’s eyes immediately followed. Seeing Pei Jing eating fried shredded pork with green vegetables, Ji Zhile swallowed his saliva.
Si Tian smiled and said, “Pei Jing, come to our house for dinner when your mother is not at home. Thank you for treating us to delicious sugar-fried chestnuts today.”
Pei Jing was a little embarrassed: “That’s very cheap.”
“It’s not cheap.” Si Tian said, “It’s very precious.”
The sincerity of a child is the most precious thing.
But Ji Zhile was sitting next to him, eating tasteless food, and seeing Pei Jing take a few mouthfuls of stir-fried pork with vegetables in a blink of an eye, eating very refreshingly, he couldn’t help wondering if it was really delicious?
The spoon reached out to the green vegetables hesitantly, scooped up a little bit carefully, and put it into a bowl to accompany the rice.
Si Tian noticed Ji Zhile’s action, and seeing him eat it, she immediately said, “Today’s green vegetables are really delicious.”
“Mom, let auntie stir-fry vegetables tomorrow.” Ji Ning said, he is hardly picky about food.
Si Tian looked at Ji Zhile: “Zhile, do you think it’s delicious?”
Facing the eyes of the other three people, Ji Zhile twitched his cheeks and said, “It should be delicious…”
He doesn’t dislike eating vegetables, but he doesn’t like them either, but others say it’s delicious, so it should be delicious.
“Then eat more.” Si Tian picked up food for Ji Zhile, while praising her, “It turns out that Zhile is not very picky about food, she is getting better and better.”
Hearing the praise, Ji Zhile was a little annoyed, why did his mother always praise him these two days, he was obviously not like that, but he was too embarrassed to say it, so he accepted the praise silently.
It’s just that praise also brings burdens, Ji Zhile thought about what her mother said about not being picky eaters, and worked hard to eat vegetables.
Originally, Ji Zhile didn’t really want to eat after eating her mother’s food, but when she saw that Ji Ningyi and Pei Jing were eating, and her mother gave her a compliment, Ji Zhile suddenly felt that she couldn’t be too far behind , He was praised just now, so he went on to ladle the vegetables.
According to the usual practice, Ji Zhile will only eat half a bowl of rice when encountering dishes he doesn’t like, but today, with Si Tian’s coaxing and the comparison between Ji Ningyi and Pei Jing, Ji Zhile even ate a bowl .
Finally, he lit up his clean bowl without a single grain of rice, and said, “I eat very cleanly.”
Si Tian gave great praise for this: “Very good, it seems that everyone has memorized “Compassion for Farmers” very well.”
As Ji Ningyi and Pei Jing who were in the first grade, they had memorized “Compassion for Farmers” but Ji Zhile, who was in the kindergarten class, hadn’t heard it before. He asked in a daze, “What is “Compassion for Farmers”?”
Pei Jing recited it on the spot and won applause from Si Tian and Ji Ningyi.
Pei Jing’s face was slightly hot: “All the students in the class can recite it.”
The students in the class will…
This made Ji Zhile feel a sense of crisis: “I want to recite it too!”
When Si Tian heard it, it was just right: “Then let’s teach Ji Zhile to recite ancient poems for tonight’s bedtime story!”
“Okay!” Ji Zhile was happy that he would soon be like his brother and Pei Jing, but at this moment he didn’t know what kind of ordeal he would go through later.
But at this moment, Ji Zhile was full of anticipation for reciting ancient poems later, until Ji Ningyi brought “Three Hundred Tang Poems” and asked Ji Zhile to read it accordingly.
The pinyin is marked on it, Ji Zhile used to know pinyin, but at this time Ji Zhile felt that something was wrong, although he could spell pinyin, but he still had to make a turn when reading according to pinyin, and finally finished reading after stumbles, Ji Ning He and Pei Jing explained the meaning of the poem to Ji Zhile one by one.
Now Ji Zhile was dumbfounded, it was obviously time to listen to stories at night, how could it be like attending a class at school?
Ji Zhile quit: “I don’t want to recite ancient poems anymore, I want to listen to stories.”
Si Tian was watching the show, adding fuel to the fire: “But you asked for it yourself.”
Ji Zhile looked at her pleadingly, with watery eyes: “Mom, can I go back on my word?”
Si Tian shook her head: “No, you are an older child, you can’t go back on your word.”
Ji Zhile pursed her lips: “Okay.”
He continued to recite ancient poems with stumbles, but he couldn’t remember the second sentence after reciting it. After a lot of tossing, Ji Zhile’s eyes were dull: “I won’t learn anymore…”
Memorizing ancient poems is not as easy as listening to stories. He wants to hear stories.
Ji Zhile took the initiative to say: “I’m not a big kid, I’m still in kindergarten, I can go back on my word.”
Si Tian said, “Okay, so is it okay for the older children to tell the story tonight?”
Ji Zhile chose the latter between memorizing ancient poems and reading stories according to pinyin.
Ji Zhile has a bit of a talent for storytelling. Unlike Si Tian, he reads according to what he reads, and he also adds his own words. Although he seems a bit nondescript at times, he is full of emotion. Ji Ningyi and Pei Jing are immersed in it.
Ji Zhile was also very satisfied. Just now because of reciting ancient poems, Yan Papa’s little tail cocked up again: “I’m very good.”
When it was time to go to bed, Pei Jing wanted to go home, but Si Tian thought that he would be scared if he was the only child in his house, so she let Pei Jing stay, but it was Ji Zhile’s room where Pei Jing slept, but now Ji Ning She slept with Ji Zhile.
Ji Zhile said: “The three of us can sleep together, and my brother’s bed is very big.”
Ji Zhile has been coveting Ji Ningyi’s bed for a long time, which child doesn’t want to sleep in a big bed.
Ji Ningyi also agreed.
That night the three children slept together, and Ji Zhile was lying in the middle. He thought excitedly that now there are two people sleeping with him, the elder brother on the left and the elder brother Pei Jing on the right, so he won’t be afraid anymore, but when he gets up to go to the bathroom Who will accompany me when the time comes?
Ji Zhile thinks that the two of them can accompany him, maybe we can play together for a while.
Such thoughts came to mind, Ji Zhile felt that besides reciting ancient poems tonight, it was really perfect, but it was a pity that he slept too soundly tonight, and didn’t get up to go to the toilet in the middle of the night, wasting a good opportunity in vain.
Pei Jing’s mother had been away for a long time this time, and she didn’t come back until the weekend, so Pei Jing stayed at Si Tian’s house all the time.
Compared with the awkwardness at the beginning, he is more lively and still likes to do housework, as if he wants to give Si Tian and the others something within his ability in this way.
Si Tian didn’t stop her either, she knew that for children like Pei Jing, it would be easier for them to do something.
On weekends, Si Tian took a few children to the park.
When going to bed the first night, the three children were so excited that they hid in the same bed.
Ji Zhile said, “I’m going to bring a lot of snacks tomorrow!”
Ji Ning said, “I want to bring a storybook.”
Pei Jing thought for a while that he didn’t seem to have anything to bring. There were no snacks or extracurricular books at home.
“I can share the snacks with you tomorrow.” Ji Zhile said.
Ji Ningyi said: “I will also tell you stories.”
Pei Jing said “Yes”. He used to go to the park often at his grandmother’s house, and he would go out to see if he could make some money when he was free. There were many mineral water bottles in the park, but he never went to the park specifically.
Si Tian explained that the weather would be fine tomorrow, and she would bring some food, treating it as a picnic, and Pei Jing was also emotionally infected.
Ji Ningyi spoke in the dark: “Pei Jing, do you still remember the text we have learned, “Let’s Go Hiking”. I feel like I am in this mood now.”
Pei Jing was serious in class, so he naturally remembered, he said, “Me too.”
The two children smiled tacitly at the same time, and Ji Zhile, who was sandwiched between them, pouted. He hadn’t learned this text, but he would know it when he grew up.
The weather on Saturday was really good, so Si Tian and his party set off for the park.
Ji Ning sat by the window and looked at the scenery outside and asked, “Mom, aren’t we going to the park in the middle of the street?”
It was the nearest park to their home, sometimes mother would take them there for a walk, yesterday when mother said to go to the park, Ji Ning thought it was going to this.
His mood was like the weather outside, sunny and bright, and he was much more lively.
Si Tian said, “No, we’re going to Bihu Park today, since it’s a picnic, of course we’re going to a bigger park.”
Ji Zhile cheered immediately: “All the students in our class have been there, saying that there is a children’s playground there.”
On Saturday morning, there were quite a few people in Bihu Park. There were elderly people walking, couples riding bicycles, parents with children…
Si Tian made a strategy in advance, and took the three children straight to the lawn area. You must know that there is a holy place for a picnic, and there will be no good location later, but they went very well, under a leafy tree Lay down a picnic mat.
Ji Zhile immediately took out the snacks he brought from his schoolbag, and Si Tian watched him take them out one by one, spread out a small piece, and there were many kinds.
“Why do you have so many snacks?”
Ji Zhile said proudly, “I kept it all myself.”
Si Tian: “That’s it. Where are you saving and how many are left? Didn’t you say you should eat less snacks?”
Ji Zhile was dumbfounded by Si Tian’s repeated questions. He didn’t think so much when he packed the snacks, he just wanted to bring some more. At this moment, he said hesitantly: “No more, no more, I also Just a little bit.”
Ji Ning said: “Mom, Zhile has no snacks. I saw him put all the snacks in his schoolbag last night.”
Si Tian asked: “When did Ji Zhile buy the snacks?”
Ji Zhile said in a low voice: “My father bought it for me when he left, and the original one was given to me by Grandma Fang…”
The very honest Ji Zhile gave Si Tian a bit of a headache. Ji Jiangzhou bought it well, and he only left for a week, but it was a long time ago for Granny Fang. She didn’t expect Ji Zhile to have hamster attributes.
“Don’t hide from now on.”
Ji Zhile let out an “oh” in disappointment.
“Tell me what you want to eat, and I’ll take you to buy it.”
Ji Zhile’s eyes lit up, looking at Si Tian like a hidden star: “Mom is so kind.”
For the three children, a picnic is a very interesting thing. Sitting on the picnic mat and eating seems to be more enjoyable than eating at home.
Ji Zhile was full, and when the sun was shining, he felt a little drowsy, so he dozed off with Si Tian’s arm.
Ji Ningyi and Pei Jing were talking. They were at the same table, and there were many topics to talk about. Finally, Ji Ningyi said, “Mom, I want to go to the animal base with Pei Jing.”
It is said to be an animal base, but it only raises some herbivorous animals that are easy to feed. It is next to the lawn. Si Tian is very happy to see Ji Ningyi’s lively appearance, so she readily agrees.
As soon as Ji Ning and Pei Jing left, Ji Zhile opened his misty eyes, looked around, and asked, “Mom, where are the older brothers?”
It was obvious that they had heard their voices just now.
Si Tian said, “The two of them went to play.”
As soon as he heard about playing, Ji Zhile immediately asked: “Where are they going to play, why don’t they take me?”
Si Tian said, “Because you are sleeping.”
Ji Zhile pouted, but at home, my brother would always call him when he was going to play.
Si Tian pinched his small round face: “Why don’t you stay here with me?”
“Okay.” Ji Zhile leaned on Si Tian’s arm and hugged it with both hands.
Ji Ningyi and Pei Jing came back not long after, the two children were blushing from playing, and looked very happy.
Ji Ningyi said: “Mom, there are rabbits, ducklings, and lambs in the animal base, and Pei Jing even fed grass to the rabbits.”
“I touched the rabbit, and the fur is soft.”
Ji Ning smiled, his eyes curved: “Rabbits are very cute.”
Si Tianxin thought, if it was Ji Zhile, this sentence would have to be, Mom, I want to raise rabbits.
Ji Zhile said: “I want to see the rabbit too, brother, let’s go together.”
Ji Ningyi was a little embarrassed: “But the breeder sister said that the rabbit is going back to its cage, and it will come out again at this time tomorrow.”
Ji Zhile was not very happy: “I’m going.”
Ji Ningyi and Pei Jing took Ji Zhile to the animal base again. Now there were no animals outside, only some eaten grass and traces of animals running past.
Ji Ningyi said: “Because the weather is too hot, the animals also have to take a nap.”
Ji Zhile was sullen: “You didn’t call me just now.”
He walked alone towards the tree where the picnic mat was placed, sat beside Si Tian, pouted with an unhappy expression.
Ji Ningyi and Pei Jing walked behind him, facing the angry Ji Zhile, the two children were a little at a loss, and then coaxed him to accompany him to the animal base later.
Si Tian knew what was going on as soon as she heard it, and said, “Does Ji Zhile want to see rabbits? Come and watch them on my phone.”
She directly searched Ji Zhile for several bunny videos, and Ji Zhile silently came up with them.
The rabbit is so small that you can hold it with one hand. It is fluffy and white. Ji Zhile likes it very much, but after watching the video, he is even more unhappy: “You don’t call me when you go to play.”
“I won’t give you my snacks either.”
Ji Zhile took back all the snacks she had left on the picnic mat and took them back into her schoolbag, holding them in her arms.
Ji Ningyi said: “Then can we go to the amusement park now?”
Ji Zhile looked away arrogantly: “No.”
He is not such a persuasive kid, he must be invited at least twice!
Seeing Ji Ningyi’s downcast eyes, Pei Jing said, “I’ll accompany you, Ning Yi.”
Ji Ning said, “OK.”
“Zhile.” Pei Jing called him.
Ji Zhile covered his ears, frowned, very angry.
But from the corner of the eye, he quietly glanced at the other two children. Seeing them leave, Ji Zhile loosened his hands covering his ears. Hearing the sound of footsteps fading away, Ji Zhile pulled the corners of his mouth down, leaning against Si Tian, with a tone of voice Lost: “Mom, they don’t take me to play.”
Si Tian didn’t quite understand: “Ning Yi and Pei Jing both called you, you didn’t go by yourself.”
“But…” Ji Zhile sat up straight and stopped leaning on Si Tian.
“You can catch up with them now.” Si Tian said.
Ji Zhile lowered his head: “I’m not going.”
Today my brother and Pei Jing went to play together twice, but they didn’t wait for him. Ji Zhile felt that this matter was so serious that he would write it down in his notebook when he got home, and he wouldn’t call him brother when he went out to play.
Ji Ningyi and Pei Jing left together, but Ji Ningyi was a little worried about Ji Zhile.
“Zhile likes little rabbits very much.” Ji Ningyi said that when he went to the animal base with Pei Jing and saw Ji Zhile fell asleep, he didn’t call him, because Ji Zhile didn’t want to get up in the morning when he was studying.
Pei Jing said: “Then let’s go back early, tell Ji Zhile that the amusement park is fun, and bring him here again, he should be happy.”
Ji Ningyi felt that what Pei Jing said made sense, and Ji Zhile liked to play, so he definitely couldn’t resist amusement parks.
The two children didn’t play in the amusement park for too long, as long as they were familiar with the facilities, they went back together.
As soon as he saw Ji Zhile, Ji Ning said, “Zhile, the amusement park is very fun. There are seesaws, tire-logged bridges, and swings.”
Pei Jing also said: “The swings there can swing very high, and the slides are also very fun.”
Hearing what each of them said, Ji Zhile became even angrier. They still said that if they went to play without bringing him back. He covered his ears: “I won’t listen, I won’t play with you anymore.”
Ji Ningyi and Pei Jing looked at me and I looked at you, but now they are out of ideas.
As a parent, Si Tian naturally had to coordinate the problems among the children, so she said, “Come and rest when you’re tired from playing, and drink some water.”
Then asked: “Pei Jing, how old are you?”
Pei Jing said, “Seven years old.”
“What month is your birthday?”
Pei Jing: “August.”
Ji Ningyi immediately said, “I’m also in August.”
“I am August thirteenth.”
Pei Jing said, “I’m on the sixth day of August.”
“At that time, I will be seven years old.”
Pei Jingwei squinted his eyes, happy that he would be one year older in a while.
Ji Ningyi said: “I was seven years old at that time too…”
“Then Pei Jing, you should be six years old now.”
Pei Jing said: “My grandma said I was seven years old, not six.”
Ji Ning said, “No.”
Seeing that the two children had opinions on the issue of age, Si Tian asked Pei Jing in detail, and knew that Pei Jing was more interested in talking about age, and birthdays were also celebrated according to the lunar calendar. So it seems that Ning Yi is actually three The oldest of the children.
Ji Ning said: “I am many days older than you.”
Si Tian said: “Zhile is the smallest.”
“Zhile, it looks like it’s your brother.” At such a young age, don’t be so angry, just like a puffer fish.
Ji Ning turned his head and said to Pei Jing, “You should also call me brother.”
Pei Jing’s face was slightly hot, and he was a little embarrassed: “Brother.”
Pei Jing felt that brother was not just a title, Ning Yi was Zhile’s brother, and Ning Yi doted on Zhile and protected Zhile, Pei Jing thought, even if he called Ningyi brother, he would still protect Ning Yi.
With squinted eyes, Ji Ning took out a candy from his pocket and gave it to Pei Jing: “Here you are.”
He didn’t bring any snacks, so he put a few candies in his pocket and gave them to everyone, and he gave the rest to Pei Jing.
Hearing this, Ji Zhile widened his eyes and looked at the two of them again. Seeing that they were talking and laughing, and still eating sweets, Ji Zhile turned his face sadly.
Everyone was very happy when they went back from the picnic, except Ji Zhile, who was sitting by the window thinking about something, the car stopped, and everyone went down one by one, with Ji Zhile and Pei Jing walking last.
Pei Jing wanted to comfort Ji Zhile that he could go to see the little rabbit next time, so Ji Zhile called him first.
“Brother Pei Jing.”
Seeing Ji Zhile’s troubled look, Pei Jing was about to ask him what’s the matter, when he heard Ji Zhile say seriously: “Brother Pei Jing, my brother only has me as a younger brother.”
