Tranquility

The child closed the door, shutting out the suddenly loud noise, and the room fell silent again.

The child lightly touched the front of the kang, and stretched out his hand to touch Tangning's forehead.Tangning turned to look at him, and he smiled, "You're awake. Are you hungry? Does your head still hurt?" He took out a biscuit from his bosom and stuffed it for Tangning, "Eat it while it's hot."

Tangning was really hungry, so she took a big bite without being polite.The pancake was a bit hard, and Tangning's little milk teeth couldn't chew it, so she had to step back and start gnawing from the side.The child poured a bowl of water from the table and fed it to him. Tangning held the cake in her hand and let him feed it.

After eating half of the pancakes, Tang Ning was full, and the kid took care of the rest.After eating, he got on the kang, covered the two of them with a large piece of clothing, and lay down with his arms around Tangning.

Tangning was held in his arms like being held by a bone. He twisted uncomfortably and wanted to break free. He was not used to being held by others. He had never been this close to anyone since he was a child.

The child hugged him even tighter, and suddenly said: "I saw her, she is not as good-looking as her mother, and she still smells like her, I miss her."

After a while of silence, the child said again: "Tomorrow when Dad asks you to call mother, you have to be obedient and call mother, don't be stubborn, obedient, and calling mother will not lose a piece of meat."

Tangning thought to herself, it's over, she really has a stepmother.This kid is his second brother, that is to say, he still has a big brother, and he seems to take good care of him.Tangning felt a little relieved, at least she wasn't alone.Tangning didn't know what to reply, he didn't know anything, and was afraid of making too many mistakes, so he hummed and pretended to be asleep.The child's body couldn't hold on to sleep, and after a while, Tangning really fell asleep, and had many dreams in a daze.

In the early morning of the next day, Tangning woke up in a daze. There were more things in his mind, all of which were the memories of this body.This child is also named Tang Ning, and his nickname is Mao'er. He is 5 years old this year.He has two older brothers, one named Tang Mu, who is called Mumu by others, and he is 12 years old; the other is Tang Yun, whose nickname is Gouzi, and is 8 years old.The head of this family is a carpenter in the village, and others call him Carpenter Tang or Da Tang.He had a mother who died of dystocia when giving birth to him. According to my brothers, my mother was very beautiful and good.This body was a little weak from birth, and he got sick every three days. Yesterday, he had a fever that killed his life, which made Tang Ning cheap.

At this time, a pair of big hands stuck his armpits, picked him up from the kang, and dressed him.A low, hoarse voice sounded above his head: "The cat has no fever, why is it still so listless?"

Tang Yun curled his lips: "I have no energy, no one else would."

Tang Mu patted him on the forehead, "What are you talking about, hurry up, get dressed and go to the main room."

Tang Ning didn't say a word, and let Tang Mu put on a clean robe for him. It wasn't until Tang Mu took another pair of trousers to put on him, that he rushed to get the trousers in embarrassment: "I Come on your own." Tang Mu said with a smile, "The cat has finally grown up and can dress by himself." Tang Yun was a little sad, the cat knew that a stepmother would come in, so he was sensible.At this moment, Tangning was crying silently in her heart: Underpants, there really are no underwear.

-------------------------------------------------- ----

In the main room, opposite to the portrait of the old birthday star, there are three children standing from tall to short, and the room is silent.

Carpenter Tang first took his daughter-in-law to kowtow in front of his parents' grave. After a while, Carpenter Tang brought a woman in red to come in from the outside. The three children raised their heads at the same time, and then lowered their heads again.Carpenter Tang was in a good mood, and took his wife to sit on the stool under the old birthday star, and said to his three sons, "Come, meet your brides."

Carpenter Tang pointed to Tang Mu again and said to the woman: "This is the boss, his name is Tang Mu, and Mu Mu, you can call him Mu Mu."

Tang Mu raised his head, smiled at the woman, and called naively: "Mother."

"Hehe, Wood, Mom has nothing to give, so I made a pair of shoes. I don't know if they will fit. You can wear them in a while." The woman's voice was gentle and gentle, which was really nice, but Tangning felt that the voice was very similar. The voice of the girlfriend who was passionately in love in the previous life when she called and acted like a baby was a little more deliberate.

Carpenter Tang pointed to Tang Yun again and said, "This is the second son, Tang Yun, and his nickname is Gouzi. From now on, you can call him Gouzi."

Tang Yun also spoke briskly at this time: "Mother."

The woman took out another set of clothes from the bag behind her: "Goofy, this dress is my idea, I just made it based on your figure, if it doesn't fit, mother will change it for you." As he spoke, he handed Tang Yun the clothes and turned to Tangning.

Carpenter Tang touched Tangning's little head, and his voice softened, "This is the third son. His first name is Tangning, and his nickname is Maoer. You can call him Maoer."

Tangning's head went numb, her eyes closed, and she called out, "Mom."

Widow Zhao's voice became softer, so soft that Tangning's skin got goosebumps, and she took out a small longevity lock, "Mao'er, what a good child, my mother's daughter is about your age, she must be compatible with you, Come, mother put it on for you."

As he spoke, he knelt down and put a thin silver longevity lock around Tangning's neck.Tang Ning saw the huge breasts squeezed in front of her eyes. She felt that her breasts felt bigger when she was smaller. They were bigger than his face. A choking smell of powder filled his nose, which made him sneeze uncontrollably. He held his breath until his face turned red, and he only hoped that this woman would get up quickly.

Fortunately, Carpenter Tang saw Tang Ning's face was flushed, and thought she was shy, so he pulled the woman back to sit on the seat, "Hehe, we will be a family from now on, we must get along well, accept your mother's meeting gift, and be filial to you Mother. You have a younger sister who will come over this afternoon. She is only 5 years old and is two months younger than Maoer. She will take good care of her sister in the future, and Maoer also has a companion. Maoer, you will take your younger sister to play in the future, you know? Tang Ning nodded quickly, Carpenter Tang laughed again and said, "Okay, get hungry, let's eat."

The woman smiled softly again: "I'll serve the meal."

Only then did Tangning raise her head to look at this woman carefully. She was dressed in red, in her twenties, her face was powdered, her mouth was thin, her eyes were small, the corners of her eyes were raised, and her oval face looked pretty. When she stared at her, she appeared mean. Her figure was very exquisite and well-proportioned. She could be convex or concave, especially her chest was choppy. Tangning knew this well.

She turned around and walked out the door, her buttocks swayed from side to side, and her waist felt like it was about to break.Tangning sighed in her heart: No wonder the auntie didn't like her last night, and neither did he.

Tangning looked up at the clear blue sky outside the door, her gaze was heavy.

-----------------------------------

The sky is still so pure blue, the clouds are as thin as a layer of gauze, floating over the head chicly.It is said that a child who loves to look at the sky is a lonely child. Tangning loves to look at the sky. He doesn't know if he is lonely. He just thinks that the clean and pure blue in the sky can cleanse people's hearts and make people calm and peaceful. It's all washed away.

Tangning has been here for more than two months. From August to October now, during these two months, he either eavesdropped, asked questions, or looked at the almanac to learn about the surrounding environment as much as possible.

This is the Jokhang Kingdom, with the reign name Jingle, and this year Jingle is 15 years old.Even though Tang Ning is an art student, she knows that this country did not exist in history. The standard of living here is similar to that of the Ming Dynasty. Now it is a peaceful era. The Jokhang Kingdom has only been founded for two generations. There is no danger of war for the time being. Everyone can get by.His village is called Zhangjia Village, which belongs to Cangping County.Cangping County is located in the north of the Jokhang Kingdom. The farmers here grow wheat in winter and corn in summer, and the days are peaceful.Zhangjia Village is close to Qingniu Mountain. It is quite a big village with hundreds of people. It is also close to the county seat. You can go back in the morning and go back at night. The villagers can often go to the city to sell things, so everyone lives a good life.

The Tang family is considered to be an immigrant population in Zhangjia Village. I can't remember how they came here. There are also several generations of ancestors, but there are not many children. In Tang Carpenter's generation, only Tang Carpenter is left.Carpenter Tang’s craftsmanship was passed down from his ancestors. The half-green brick and large tile-roofed house in the family was built by his ancestors with money saved by craftsmanship. The house has three big rooms, the middle is the main room, the east side is the house of Tang Carpenter and her wife, and the west side is The house was given to Tangning and the three brothers.There were not enough bricks when it was built, so the wall on the right side of the house on the west side could only be made of stone and mud, so it can only be said to be half a big brick house with green bricks.However, even so, it is considered a very good house in the village, and many houses are still thatched houses.So, when Tang Ning saw Wa, he disliked him for being poor, it was entirely because he was "ignorant" and had never seen someone who was poorer.

The Tang family has two acres of Susukida, which was reclaimed by the ancestors. The production is not much, and the family mainly relies on the craftsmanship of Tang carpenter.Tang Carpenter farms the land when the farming is busy, and does carpentry when the farming is slack. If there is work, he will do it at home. If there is no work, he will go out to find work.Therefore, Carpenter Tang often stayed at other people's homes for several days to do work. Before his stepmother came in, it was Tang Mu who was doing housework and taking care of his two younger brothers. Tang Mu ordered pocket money.

It stands to reason that the life of the Tang family should be good, but the Tang family was at a time when the Tang family was out of business. Carpenter Tang was the only one in the family to get the money, but he had to take care of the food for the four of them. Now that the six of them are eating, even if Tang Ning ate less , but Tang Mu was just the age when half a child would eat a poor old man, and Tang Ning had a minor illness from time to time and took medicine, which cost a lot, and Tang Carpenter himself was not good at saving money.As a result, life became tighter.

Tang Ning was following Tang Yun to collect firewood on the mountain. Tang Yun was afraid that he would be tired, so he asked him to sit on the firewood and watch over it, while he took the hatchet and found thinner branches to chop.

Tang Yun is dark-skinned and lean. He can compete with African children, but it's not that he doesn't have to eat. He is so thin by nature, no matter how much he eats, he can't get fat.Tang Yun's facial features are actually pretty good, his big eyes are always rolling around, and he looks like a quick-witted one. He is also the most winking and talking one among the three brothers.

Tang Ning breathed a sigh of relief. The activists leaned back their sore necks. Hearing voices beside him, he turned his head and saw Tang Yun dragging a thick branch walking over. His brow was sweating a little, so he simply took off his thick jacket and wrapped it around Tang Ning. cloud body.

Tangning refused, "Second brother, you should put it on, the wind is very cool, you will get sick if it blows."

Tang Yun forced Tang Ning to wrap it up, "Second brother is very hot right now, you won't be cold if you just sit here, and second brother will go further to find firewood in a while, it won't be cold after the event, just sit here and wait for the second brother." Brother come back."

"Second brother, this much firewood has been enough for a long time, there is no need to chop so much more."

"Stupid boy, this firewood is reserved for the winter. Now this is not enough to burn for a whole winter. Taking advantage of the good weather recently, I can chop a little bit." Then he walked into the depths of the forest.

Tangning looked at Tang Yun's thin back, touched the jacket on his body, and suddenly felt that the wind in late autumn was not so cold.
