Chapter 5: It's all Xiaozhen

He Yu came to Jiang's house for a week, and one sentence has become the mantra of Jiang Mingzhen's parents.
"Xiaozhen, if you don't eat it, we will give it to He Yu."
This sentence can be transformed into other similar scenarios.
"Xiaozhen, if you don't take a bath, Aunt Fan will give He Yu a bath first."
"Xiaozhen, if you don't pack your toys, all your toys will be given to He Yu."
"Xiaozhen, if you are not obedient, Mom and Dad will go to love He Yu, He Yu is much better than you."
Sometimes they just talk casually, trying to see if it works, but don't want this trick to try and find Jiang Mingzhen.
As long as he can't go with He Yu, Jiang Mingzhen will have endless energy. Every time she grabbed something from him, she was so excited that she was beaten with blood.
All the adults were pleased with her "conscious" state. Only He Yu felt uncomfortable.
He was robbed of eating half of his food, his toys half of his playing, and even if he stayed in a small corner of the yard to bask in the sun, Jiang Mingzhen might spot him and order him to remove it.
If he doesn't go to the yard, he stays in the room honestly, and still can't get rid of Jiang Mingzhen.
The adults will come to the room to find him, and drag him to Jiang Mingzhen to "set an example."
Sometimes he will get an expensive little cake, a bowl of nourishing soup that has been boiled for several hours, sometimes he is dragged into the bathroom without thinking, and the girl’s toy is stuffed into his arms by the adult... He Yu was puzzled at first, seeing the delicious food for him, hesitated whether he could eat it; they asked him to do some strange things, and he wondered whether to cooperate.
After observing for a period of time, he came to the conclusion: you cannot eat, you must cooperate.
The delicious food is reserved for Jiang Mingzhen, and Jiang Mingzhen should do things, and she doesn't really want to give it to him.
Go around in a circle around him, and everything that belongs to her returns to her hands. In it, he needs to cooperate with the adults and perform a role of a good boy who never refuses to come, and still doesn't cry when things are stolen.
Everyone agrees that He Yu is a good boy, and he is indeed.
He is more sensible and calmer than Jiang Mingzhen. He is the son of a nanny from the country. His well-being is a natural thing, and no one will feel strange.
When Jiang Mingzhen was constantly irritating, he was also a five-year-old kid who was helping his mother with work.
He Yu got up early and went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables with Aunt Fan. After Aunt Fan made the vegetables, the child followed his mother's instructions and carried the kitchen garbage bag to the outside. At this time, the eldest Jiang family who just woke up, sat in a chair with her mouth wide open and needed someone to feed her.
When Aunt Fan was cleaning up, He Yu took a small piece of rag to help clean the table. Jiang Mingzhen is responsible for messing up the house and dirtying the table.
They are not the same.
The young He Yu still couldn't understand the origin of this difference.
He only felt that the longer he lived here, the more he hated Jiang Mingzhen.
Everything she does is annoying...
Jiang Yuan brought back fresh big crabs from the restaurant, and the crab legs fell off when they were steaming. Aunt Fan put it away and took it to the room, and quietly let He Yu eat it. He had never eaten such a good crab of this size before. The crab meat was eaten cleanly, and he would not throw it until he licked the shell until it tasted bad. As for Jiang Mingzhen, she saw the crab yelling, "Eating crab again, why do you eat this every day?" Aunt Fan broke her lips and she didn't want to taste it.
Xu Meiyin bought a set of new shoes and new clothes for He Yu. They were brand-name. Aunt Fan led the child to say thank you and bow, thank you very much. The next day, He Yu saw Jiang Mingzhen in the toy room. She made clothes for her Barbie doll and cut her own clothes. Those clothes were still new, and they broke as soon as they were cut, and the fabrics were thrown all over the floor. After a while she was tired of playing and left a mess to play with other things. Those rubbish-like cloth pieces have exactly the same trademark as his new clothes.
There is no water heater for taking a bath in the country. The hot water for He Yu's bath was changed after his father boiled the water, which is very limited. Now living in Jiang's house, the bath water has always been warm, so He Yu can't understand why Jiang Mingzhen doesn't like bathing, she is so comfortable.
One night before going to bed, He Yu couldn't help but whispered to his mother while looking at the quiet sky outside the window.
"Mom, when can we go home?"
"You said, go back to the country?" Aunt Fan was puzzled that he would ask this question: "What's wrong? Isn't it good to live here?"
He Yu thought for a while and couldn't deny: "It's good here."
Jiang's house is very big and beautiful, with hot water in the bath, and delicious food every day.
However, many times when Jiang Mingzhen yelled at him, "This is my thing," He Yu would think in his heart: Jiang Mingzhen's things are not so good, and he doesn't want to take them. You don’t need to eat small cakes and big crabs, you don’t need to wear new clothes and shoes, or even take a bath in ice water from the tap. He wants to go back to his own home.
He did not have time to speak his "but".
"Of course it's the best here," Aunt Fan laughed after his words: "This is the city, which can't be compared with the country. Besides, we live in a rich man's house."
Like her son, she looked out the window.
Judging from the location of the nanny room, you can see the door of the neighboring house. Like Jiang’s house, their doors are high-minded. The exterior wall of the villa is painted a beautiful azure blue, and there are two lamp posts at the entrance. The lights in their house are really bright, it seems to be much brighter than the moon in the sky.
"You are here for good, please be like Uncle Jiang. In a few years, we will ask him to let you go to school in the city."
She stroked the little boy's head with a soft voice, as if she was floating in a dream with him in a big boat.
"When my family Ayu finishes school, finds a good job in the city, becomes a rich man, and lives in such a beautiful house, then I won't have to work so hard every day."
He Yu heard his mother say something similar, and she said it to his father.
"You work more and save some money. When my life gets better in the future, I won't have to work so hard and work in the city all day long."
He Yu retracted his gaze and stopped looking at the sky outside.
Now my father is gone, only my mother and Ayu are left at home.
He swallowed everything he wanted to say, and he closed his eyes quietly.
...
He Yu hopes to live peacefully with Jiang Mingzhen without disturbing each other, but Jiang Mingzhen obviously has no plans.
In the days when He Yu was struggling, her enthusiasm continued to increase, and she even found strange pleasure in it.
No matter how to make things difficult or make fun of He Yu, he will always be a friendly smile. Occasionally, that fleshy steamed bun face will become wrinkled when He Yu is really wronged.
Even so, he wouldn't fight back against her.
He is as good as a puppy.
So she provokes him time and time again and sees his aggrieved expression to gain happiness.
Sleeping time is the most comfortable time for He Yu in Jiang's family. He thought that Jiang Mingzhen would at least not rob him of his sleep... which is strange.
Jiang Mingzhen is here again.
Xu Meiyin praised Jiang Mingzhen all day about how well-behaved He Yu was, how consciously independent, and able to help adults. Jiang Mingzhen was not convinced and investigated carefully, and finally found that he was not as good as her.
He sleeps with Aunt Fan!
Xu Meiyin obviously had a room available for Yu Yu, but he slept in Aunt Fan's nanny room every night.
She is as squeamish as Jiang Mingzhen, she can sleep with her parents in separate rooms, but He Yu can't do it. When Jiang Mingzhen discovered this, she was so proud that her chin was about to rise to the sky.
"Do you know?! Huoyu is ashamed, he wants Aunt Fan to sleep with him every night."
She told everyone about He Yu's embarrassment and wanted everyone to laugh at him.
Jiang Yuan was reading the newspaper and didn't look up after hearing her words.
"It's normal to sleep with his mother in a new environment."
"Huh," the audience did not give her expected response, Jiang Mingzhen was very dissatisfied: "I can sleep by myself, he dare not sleep by himself when he is five years old, so timid."
Her words were not echoed, and the living room was left with the sound of "Shusha".
That night, Jiang Mingzhen suffered from insomnia.
She loves to provoke He Yu, to what extent.
"Aunt Fan, I want to sleep with you."
The little girl in the princess nightdress hugged the pillow and knocked on the door of her nanny room in the early morning.
"Okay, Miss Zhen, you wait for me in the room." Rubbing her sleepy eyes, Aunt Fan immediately fulfilled her order: "I will go up with a story book and tell you a story."
"No," Jiang Mingzhen squeezed her involuntarily and entered the room: "I want to sleep here."
She pressed her pillow onto the bed, and the original big pillow and children's pillow were pushed out by her.
He Yujue hadn't awakened yet, and he was dizzy. He saw Jiang Mingzhen, who was most afraid of him, jumped onto the bed and climbed beside him.
This scare made him sober.
Aunt Fan also didn't know what her lady wanted to play at night, so she said: "Miss Zhen, our bed is too small, and you don't feel comfortable sleeping here."
"I can sleep wherever I want." Jiang Mingzhen pulled He Yu's quilt over.
His bed has been warmed by his sleep, and her feet coldly stretched in and put them on his lap.
He Yu was so shocked by the cold that he didn't dare to call her to move, leaving her to stick to her ice.
"Miss, you sleep here, and He Yu and I will go to sleep elsewhere?" If she has taken a fancy to this nanny room, Aunt Fan will help her clean up so that she can sleep comfortably.
If they left, it would be meaningless for her to sleep here alone, and Jiang Mingzhen certainly refused.
"I want Aunt Fan to accompany me to sleep, and live taro can go."
With her words, He Yu broke the world and expressed resistance to her.
"I don't want to sleep alone." He said this very loudly. After he finished speaking, the volume became smaller and smaller, word by word.
"I will have nightmares," he said.
According to Jiang Mingzhen's usual practice, she must be making trouble now, and she vowed not to give up unless He Yu was sleeping alone.
She didn't do that for an unprecedented time.
Probably his expression is rather pitiful.
Like a puppy who is afraid of being thrown away, he is weak and helpless.
"Okay," she said kindly, letting him go: "No matter where you sleep, I want to sleep here anyway."
Eventually three people sleep together.
Aunt Fan took an extra bed for Ms. Jiang, and the small bed suddenly became very crowded. Fortunately, there are two children who can barely sleep.
The adults lie in the middle, the children lie on either side, Jiang Mingzhen wants to listen to the story.
Aunt Fan's bedtime stories are not very good. She doesn't know much. She can read only a few fairy tale books. Jiang Mingzhen has heard the stories she told many times.
By the time the story is finished, the two children have fallen asleep.
Aunt Fan turned off the lights.
It may be that Jiang Mingzhen came, and He Yu still had nightmares at night.
It was a nightmare he often had recently.
He Yu desperately waved to his father on the dusty construction site.
Too high, dad hurry down.
Dad, it's dangerous.
Jiang Mingzhen was awakened by He Yu's dream.
She lifted the quilt, tiptoe, and walked around to him, wanting to hear what he was saying.
The little boy was wrapped in quilt and sweated profusely on his head.
It seemed that he was deeply engulfed by the dream, and his round face was bitter.
"Dad" he said loudly.
Jiang Mingzhen tried to wake him up, but he didn't respond after shaking him twice.
He Yu sweats more and his face is scary.
"Snapped!"
After the crisp applause, he opened his eyes.
Next to him, his mother's snoring was steady, and his cheek hurt a little.
His eyes turned to his side, and before He Yu realized what had happened, the collar of his pajamas was picked up by Jiang Mingzhen.
"Hey."
The girl's tone was as annoying as ever.
"You live in my house. You belong to me too, you have to listen to me."
After a few seconds of silence, He Yu finally reacted.
He stretched out his hand and touched his beaten face.
"Got it?" She glared at him, her eyes full of threats.
He Yu nodded.
"I order you not to have nightmares."
Jiang Mingzhen's tone is really fierce, so fierce that no one else can tell, she was frightened by his nightmare just now, and she was so frightened.
"I'll beat you down if I have nightmares!"
She showed her fist to He Yu, a tightly clenched fist.
"Very flat, very flat."
