Thus, as soon as his mother glared at him, the pillar would immediately become obedient.

Despite his young age, he was able to see the family situation clearly. He knew who he had to fawn on in order to make his life more comfortable.

Although his father, Qiu Hai, would beat him up the moment he got angry, it was nothing to be afraid of. At a critical moment, it was her mother who had the final say.

Even though his mother was fierce towards him, she still doted on him. As long as he acted like a spoiled child, his mother would protect him. Grandmother would rush up to help him and scold him.

With these two backers of his, he had nothing to be afraid of. His father could only stare blankly, completely unable to do anything to him.

No one was paying attention to him right now. How could Pillar possibly be willing to concentrate on his homework? He had been bored, and after rummaging through the tin pencil case, he had struck out at the new rubber.

Qiu Hai was furious. He grabbed the ear of the pillar, twisted it half, and said in a low voice,

"Little bastard, what are you doing? Trouble again, isn't it? "Your father is half-dead tired and is trying to earn those few pieces of money for you. Is it because you are so corrupt?"

This brat was too shameless. If he didn't ruthlessly beat him up, he wouldn't take it to heart. If not for the fact that he was afraid of waking Xu Zhu up, he would have long since blown his mouth open.

"Father, I was wrong. Quickly let go." Aiyo … "My ears are going to fall off." Pillar hurriedly put down what he held in his hand, grimacing in pain as he begged for mercy.

It didn't matter if he wasn't afraid, a wise man wouldn't take advantage of the situation.

The greatest protector of all, now that she was not at home and her grandmother was sleeping soundly, if she did not give in, she would be easily beaten. If it hit him, he wouldn't be able to take it off.

"Hurry up and write properly. If you continue to mess with this, it's useless. Let's see if I'll cut you or not!"

Under his father's threatening gaze, Pillar obediently grabbed his pen and finally began to work hard. Seeing this, Qiu Hai finally let go.

After standing there for a while, feeling a bit hungry, he turned around and headed for the kitchen.

Green Bamboo was squatting in front of the stove pit and adding firewood. The big iron pot was stewed with pickled vegetables and shredded rice. A circle of cornmeal pancakes was stuck to the edge of the pot. Cut the potato chips and green peppers and place them neatly on the vegetable block.

Seeing that the food was not ready, Qiu Hai frowned. He didn't urge the bamboo, but only asked why his own door was locked. Green Bamboo then relayed Li Qianyun's words to his uncle.

After he finished listening, he went to the wardrobe in the old house, found a thick coat and put it on, then went out to drink with his brothers.

In these past few years, every time he saw Green Bamboo, he would always feel extremely complicated. He deeply felt that he was apologizing to this child.

Ten years ago, if that unlucky couple didn't meet his mother, then maybe he would be wearing a princess skirt and swinging in some mansion! There was no need for him to work so hard. He could get up early in the morning to work in the dark, but he could not even get enough to eat.

Qiu Hai was very clear on the bamboo's situation. It wasn't that he didn't want to care, but that no one listened to him. When she was young, everything was decided by her mother, and after marriage, she would listen to her daughter-in-law. In this home, he had never felt like he existed.

He had always disagreed with Qiu Feng's request to have sex with that bastard, but his sister hadn't listened to his advice at all.

At the time, he had also felt that it was inappropriate to exchange Xu Zhu for a child. But his mother did it first, and he didn't want to be in a hurry.

Thus, he had the thought of running away. As the old saying goes, you don't feel annoyed even if you can't see anything. Since he couldn't control himself, he might as well go out and hide. As for the matters of the family, he could just let those old women stir up whatever they wanted.

Because of this mentality, Qiu Hai rarely took the initiative to chat with Green Bamboo. It wasn't that it was good for her, but it didn't hurt her.

The green bamboo in the kitchen poked the stove hook into the pit. After digging for a long time, he pulled out two round things — roasted sweet potatoes with hot air.

Normally, his uncle wouldn't come to the kitchen often, but since he had just come here on purpose, he must be hungry. Aunt said that if a guest came in the evening, it was most likely someone from the crew.

When he thought of the word "cast", a pair of clean and cold eyes could not help but appear within his mind.

The girl smirked and increased the speed of her movements.

After busying himself with his work, he finally managed to prepare six cakes, two roasted sweet potatoes, and four dishes and a soup within an hour.

The kitchen was small and the yard windy. Thus, the entire family usually ate in the old house.

Green Bamboo went back to his room and set up the table. He then served the prepared dishes one by one and skillfully arranged the tableware. Just as he was done, he saw his aunt walk into the courtyard.

Qu Shufen came back a little pinched.

She stayed at the opposite door for a while, thinking that dinner was almost ready, before she sauntered back. At this moment, the woman walked up to the table and glanced at the dishes on it. She felt that they were not too bad.

Thus, he rolled his eyes at the green bamboo and ordered in a cold voice:

"Go to the backyard and chop those two bundles of firewood. You're not allowed to sleep until tonight."

This little girl had grown up to be poor and had never seen much of the world. She was clumsy and could not be placed on the big stage at all. It was better to send her away as soon as possible, lest he humiliate her in front of her customers.

"Sigh." The green bamboo knew that the meal was over, so it followed his instructions and went to the backyard.

She had lost her wages on the way back. Aunt said that in order to give her some memory, she didn't need to eat dinner.

Qing Zhu had never dared to forget Qu Shufen's words. Therefore, she did not touch any of the food on the table.

When they arrived at the backyard, Green Bamboo took out the dried radish that Granny Yu had given her. Like a small hamster, it began to squeak as it ate.

Having been busy for so long, her stomach had long since shrunk. There was only a small bag of dried radishes, so there was no end to it.

The girl suddenly thought of something — if you don't have enough to eat, you can search on the water.

He picked up the water scoop, scooped up half a ladle of cold water from the large water jar, and gulped it down.

Indeed, he didn't feel that hungry anymore.

The green bamboo patted its bulging belly, then bent over and sat on the horse. He rolled up his sleeves, picked up the axe that was thicker than his arm and began to work.

The two bundles of firewood in front of the girl were piled high as a hill. She wasn't sure how long it would take before she could finish the chopping.

Inside the house, the pillars that smelled of food threw their pens aside and leaned over the table.

Actually, he was already hungry. It was hotter to see food than it was to see his mother.

He reached for his chopsticks and was about to pick up a piece of potato when Qu Shufen slapped him on the back of his hand.

"In such a hurry, were you entrusted to death by a hungry ghost? How did Mother teach you to forget? You are not allowed to eat before the guests arrive! "

The pillar swallowed and withdrew his hand. He lowered his head in grievance and reluctantly put down his chopsticks.

In the end, she is still his biological son. Seeing his son like this, Qu Shufen felt both angry and pained. "Enough, don't pretend to be pitiful. Mother will give you some, so you have to do it first to quell your hunger. "

Qu Shufen scooped up half a spoonful of rice, picked up some food from the plate, and handed the bowl to her son. In a moment, he had finished his meal.

Perhaps it was because he was hungry, but he felt that the food today was very oily and full of water. It seemed to be especially tasty.

Pillar looked down at the empty bowl in his hand and licked his greasy lips. Just as he was about to act coquettishly and ask for more food from his mother, he suddenly heard someone shout from outside:

"Qiu Hai's."

Qu Shufen ran into the courtyard and saw that the one who had called her was Li Qianyun.

Beside her stood a little girl, dressed very delicately.

She was wearing a light blue windbreaker with a red and white woolen dress underneath. The new little boots were polished. Her long, slightly curled chestnut hair hung smoothly down her shoulders. In the middle of the light blue ribbon was a large bow.

Her skin was so smooth and tender that it could almost pinch water out of it. His eyes, which were as large as purple grapes, flickered with a strange light. There was a small cinnabar mole just below the right corner of his eye.

At first glance, it looked like an enlarged version of a Barbie doll.
