Chapter 3, dare to hit my son

"Drink water." Fu Kun handed him the water

"That's fine, Mom... Auntie will take you to school now, okay? The original school is too far away, so you will attend your brother's school. In the future, you can go with your brother, alright?" Auntie gently patted his head

"Brother." Fu Yijie called him from the bathroom, his voice trembling.

Stepping out of the restroom, Xia Fei stood outside with a smile, flashing a flashlight in his eyes: "Taking your brother to the restroom?"

Aren't you cold?" Fu Kun heard his voice trembling continuously

Fu Yijie was startled by the sudden roar, causing him to sit down abruptly on the snow pile. The teacher over there was also taken aback, halting with their hand raised in the air

"Damn," replied Fu Yijie, as a puff of white smoke escaped from his mouth

Sun Wei was downstairs howling as if he were having a fit, and several neighbors next door, who did not have early shifts today, opened their windows to start cursing. Fu Kun grabbed two buns and ran outside: "Just a moment, my mom will be back soon. If you want to be quiet, there are children's books in the box under the bed; you can read them yourself."

The left hand also lent a hand. Fu Yijie looked at his left hand

With just a mouthful of milk powder and a mouthful of water, the task of "preparing a cup of milk for my younger brother" has been accomplished

He recalled the four spoonfuls of milk powder that he had to exert great effort to swallow, and nodded slightly. He had not drunk much milk before, but the milk powder just now was quite delicious

"Which hand wiped your bottom?" Fu Kun asked him

"Who made you so anxious, you didn't even have time to put on more clothes?" Fu Kun frowned, thinking that this matter must not be known to his mother, as she would definitely scold him if she found out. "Does your stomach still hurt?"

Give it to me. Fu Kun reached out to take the cup from his hand. For some reason, he always felt that Fu Yijie looked pitiful in this manner

"My arm hurts, and when my arm hurts, my head hurts too, so I can't write anymore." Fu Kun smiled.

Have you eaten too much? Is it big or small?" Fu Kun was pondering in his heart whether to take him outside to the toilet or to use the chamber pot in the room

After the door closed, Fu Yijie did not move. He listened until Fu Kun's footsteps completely disappeared, then wiped his mouth, turned around, and stood on tiptoe to look outside from the window ledge

He took out a notebook and opened it, discovering that it was filled with drawings of people and animals, including people fighting, people dancing, and many animals running around, such as cats, dogs, and insects

He nodded slightly

"How many days has it been since you last did your homework?" Teacher Yang pointed at Fu Kun and said angrily, "When I asked you to call your parents, you just pretended to be dead!"

I am afraid you might fall

The aunt took cold medicine again and made him take it, then took him out the door

"Why are you so quiet?" Fu Kun asked

Then he has to go to the toilet. Although it is cold outside in winter, the task of emptying the spittoon at home has always been his responsibility, and he is unwilling to empty the chamber pot.

Hmm? You are not going to the restroom again, are you!" Fu Kun was very nervous

That is, Fu Kun's younger brother is certainly capable

Ah? Fu Kun was taken aback for a moment, scratched his head, and chuckled.

It no longer hurts. Fu Yijie came out with the pants.

Look, the gate ahead is the school gate of Sanxiao, your brother is in the fourth grade here, " the aunt stopped the car, picked him up, and pointed to the school gate, " in a moment ... ... "

Have you had milk?

Why not use the character '乾'? Fu Yijie probably isn't tired, and he asked again

No

As he peered through the window into the room, he was taken aback; Fu Yijie had already gotten out of bed, dressed neatly in his clothes, and was currently squeezing toothpaste onto the toothbrush his mother had bought for him.

Well

Fu Yijie remained silent

"You can't write, and you won't call your parents, right?" Teacher Yang pointed at him, "Then you can just stand here like a popsicle!"

I need to go to the restroom

After Fu Kun finished brushing his teeth and washing his face, he did not go back to his room immediately; he wanted to see if Fu Yijie had been crying

The wind was quite strong, able to blow through the mask and onto his face. He sat on the bicycle, constantly hunching his neck, but the novelty of riding for the first time quickly made him forget the cold, and he began to turn his head to look around.

After eating four large steamed buns and drinking a bowl of porridge, he felt that his stomach was uncomfortably full, and only then did he stop eating

"... then go ahead, do you need to sit up to fart?" Fu Kun lay back down a bit perplexed, "Don't do it under the covers..."

The light in the restroom was turned off by someone unknown, and Fu Kun groped along the wall for a long time but could not find the pull cord. Fu Yijie stood beside him, stomping his feet and humming softly, which made Fu Kun so anxious that he felt like cursing.

"Open your mouth," Fu Kun said as he scooped a spoonful of milk powder and placed it into Fu Yijie's mouth. "For one cup of milk, you should have four spoonfuls, so just eat four spoonfuls."

Just call him to get up once you are done tidying up. Mom threw him onto the chair next to the table. I'm leaving now, when you go, take some of your little books or something for your brother. I will be back in at most one hour

When dawn broke, Fu Kun was still dreaming when his mother woke him up with several slaps on the face. Before he could complain, his mother began to arrange things in a continuous stream: "Kunzi, I have placed the new toothbrush and towel I bought for your younger brother on the table. In a moment, make a cup of milk for him. I have left breakfast over there; after you finish eating, you should go to school. I will just stop by my workplace and come back to take your brother to handle the transfer..."

There is a boy downstairs who is similar in stature to Fu Kun, and Fu Kun walked along with him while pushing his bicycle

The aunt's words were not finished when both of them simultaneously saw two people standing at the school gate, one of whom appeared to be a young man who was a teacher, and the other was Fu Kun

After pouring the water, Fu Yijie bit down on his toothbrush, carefully holding the cup and slowly walking out with his head lowered

"Sleep now." Fu Kun felt a bit sleepy and closed his eyes, preparing to go to sleep

I said it again. Fu Kun repeated it once more

So he jumped out of bed and turned on the light: "Hold on! I will take you to the bathroom, get dressed."

"Dare to hit my son..." the aunt said softly, then quickly ran over and lifted her foot to kick Fu Kun in the butt, "What have you done again!"

"I want to fart," Fu Yijie replied in a very low voice

Two fools, he only knows this

"Brother," Fu Yijie called out to him again

He poured hot water and wiped Fu Yijie's face and hands with a towel. He himself usually does not pay much attention to hygiene; his mother often urges him to wash his hands, but he is very reluctant. The only time he is conscious about washing his hands is after using the restroom

Ah," Fu Kun was flustered by his call, holding the milk powder bag and unsure of what to do. Finally, he raised his chin towards Fu Yijie and said, "Come here for a moment."

"Hold on to my clothes, don't let go," the aunt said as she patted him, zipped up the new cotton jacket he was wearing, and pulled his hat down a bit. "Sit tight"

Upon returning home, Fu Kun originally intended to prepare some hot water for Fu Yijie to wash his hands. However, seeing him shivering uncontrollably from the cold, he had no choice but to give up on that idea and let Fu Yijie return to bed

After Fu Yijie swallowed the milk powder, he scooped another spoonful and stuffed it into Fu Yijie's mouth

"Yes," replied Fu Yijie in a low voice

"Are you done being so weak? Don't treat the child as if they are not human; they understand everything," Xia Fei said softly, turning to Fu Kun with a smile, "Isn't that right, Kunzi?"

However, due to having to wait for him to brush his teeth and wash his face, Fu Kun left home a bit late today. When Sun Wei was shouting his name at the bottom of the stairs, he was preparing to mix milk for Fu Yijie using a bag of milk powder.

He does not have a good impression of the school, and all the classmates know that he is a child from an orphanage without parents, so they are unwilling to play with him

Hmm. Fu Yijie nodded, his lips adorned with a ring of milk powder.

Fu Yijie was wearing a pair of thermal pants and a small cotton jacket, frowning and bending over while holding his stomach. Fu Kun grabbed a handful of tissue and pulled him, running towards the door. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't use his strength, he would have wanted to carry Fu Yijie on his back by now

Teacher Yang was taken aback: "What did you say?"

He quickly pulled Fu Yijie’s left hand and walked home: "Alright, I don’t mind you, just stop crying. How can you cry just like that? You have a switch, right? Hurry up and hold it back!"

"Are you done?" Fu Kun pinched his nose and ran inside, handing him the paper, "Can you wipe your bottom?"

Sun Wei continued to shout at the top of his lungs with his eyes closed, as if he had not heard anything

Fu Kun! Fu Kun—Fu Kun! Fu Kun—" Sun Wei shouted energetically downstairs, as if singing.

Fu Yijie walked up to him and looked up at him.

He nodded slightly and reached out to grasp the corner of the aunt's clothing

After all the commotion, Fu Kun got into bed, while Fu Yijie curled up into a small ball against the wall, just like before

Fu Yijie returned to the table, sat down on the chair, and picked up the bun on the table, eating it with great focus. When eating, one must concentrate and be quick, otherwise, there is a possibility of being snatched by others

Stop shouting, I heard you!" Fu Kun stuck his head out and shouted.

What do you understand

What happened?" Fu Kun was startled and sat up as well

Oh—" Fu Kun replied with his eyes closed.

"Wipe your mouth, the old man with the white beard is here." Fu Kun swung the door open and ran out

What do you want me to do?

How to write the two characters "付坤"

Ah! Fu Kun shouted, shaking off his hand. Before he could start cursing, he turned his face and saw the bright, sparkling light in Fu Yi Jie’s eyes. He was taken aback. Is he crying again?

There is a box under the bed, and he pulled it a little; it was very heavy, and he exerted a great deal of effort to drag it out

"It doesn't have much flavor, I only ate one leg," Fu Kun thought for a moment, "I used a match to roast some food, while Sun Wei ate it raw... a piece, by the way, I haven't asked you yet, how do you eat raw dumplings"

Those who have to go to work or school early in the morning are walking back and forth by the pool. When passing by Fu Yijie, they often take an extra glance or two, and someone even remarked, "Kunzi, your brother is quite capable"

Is it delicious? Fu Yijie swallowed hard.

After squeezing out the toothpaste, he picked up the thermos to pour hot water into the cup, but the table was too high for him to lift it. Therefore, he placed the cup on the ground and poured a cup of hot water into it

Fu Kun! The aunt who had been standing still suddenly shouted.

"It's nothing, I've been resting all day, so I want to move around a bit." Xia Fei turned and walked down the stairs. The light in the stairwell had been broken for a while and no one had taken care of it. Zhang Qingkai hurriedly followed and supported Xia Fei at the waist, but Xia Fei slapped his hand away, saying, "What are you doing?"

"I don't know." Fu Yijie cautiously leaned closer to him

Sitting on the floor after finishing two notebooks, Fu Yijie heard a sound at the door. He turned around and saw the aunt walk in, and he suddenly felt a bit inexplicably flustered, as if he had been caught rummaging through someone else's home.

Zhang Qingkai raised his hand behind him to block the light from the flashlight and said, "No need to see me off, or you'll catch a cold in a bit"

Fu Yijie remained silent, placing the notebook back into the box. He bent down to push the box back under the bed. In the welfare institution, although there were not many toys in the box designated for them, failing to return the box to its original place after playing would result in a punishment of standing.

Ah—" Fu Kun said with a long drawn-out voice, "Why should I be the first to get up? You should also get up a bit."

Right hand

Someone was walking back and forth in the corridor outside, talking and chatting. He sat in the room for a while, found it uninteresting, and then walked into Fu Kun's small room

Understood, understood, let's go quickly. Fu Kun leaned over the table and waved his hand at his mother.

Fu Yijie stood there in confusion, his mouth half-open, with a mouthful of milk powder, unsure of what to do

Brother, Fu Yijie called him softly again

Fu Yijie began to pull, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, softly humming: "In 1988, I learned to drive a car. I ran over more than a hundred people going up and down hills. The police came to catch me, and I escaped into the women's restroom. There was no light in the women's restroom, and I fell into the feces pit. I struggled against the feces, and in the end, I sacrificed myself. To commemorate me, they installed lights in the restroom..."

Still unable to find the previous drowsiness, Fu Yijie suddenly sat up holding the blanket

"Qian Kun means, it means, it means something particularly impressive." Fu Kun thought for a moment and didn't know how to express it, "So I used this character Kun, I am indeed a particularly impressive person."

"My stomach hurts." Fu Yijie’s voice became even softer, as if he were curled up in the darkness, pressing his hands against his stomach.

"Who are you trying to fool!" Teacher Yang slapped his left hand and said, "Do you think I don't know you can write with your left hand too!"

"You don't need to do that, I'll take care of it," the aunt pushed the box back under the bed and hugged him, "Have you had breakfast?"

"Hurry up, don't pull your pants up!" Fu Kun pulled Fu Yijie back and pushed him onto the squat toilet.

"No, I will send someone off." Xia Fei waved the flashlight behind him again

"Yijie, are you reading? Why are you sitting on the floor? It's so cold!" As soon as Auntie entered the room, she rushed over and lifted him up from the floor. "Why didn't your brother take out the book for you to see? He really can't be relied upon."

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a sound of flatulence and had no choice but to kick the blanket with his foot: "Forget it, being this close, both inside and outside are of the same nature."

"Get up." When Mom saw that he was not moving, she directly came over and dragged him out of the blanket.

Fu Kun bent down and took his left hand: "Let's go"

Then, without waiting to see Fu Yijie's reaction, he turned around and dashed out.

In any case, even if there is a reaction, it will probably just be crying

Hmm, Fu Kun bounced a little and said, "Xiao Fei, are you going to the bathroom?"

"Good." He replied softly

"What? Pay Qian? Who are you paying money to, who is so foolish to pay?" Fu Kun clicked his tongue and said, "Ah, I am so tired, I want to sleep quickly. Don't talk to me anymore, if you can't sleep, count your fingers or something."

Thinking back, I realize that in the first grade, what could I do or not do when brushing my teeth? It was just a matter of being a bit more agile in my movements. Ever since I started keeping a diary, I have been brushing my teeth by myself, although it took me quite a long time to learn how to use toothpaste properly

Footsteps were heard behind him, and a beam of flashlight light shone over. Fu Kun finally saw the light cord, pulled it, and the light turned on

Fu Kun's morning grumpiness had temporarily subsided, and upon hearing this, he felt a bit pleased

He chuckled for quite a while, and as his drowsiness faded, he recalled how he had picked up bugs to eat. He turned slightly to the side and said, "It's a grasshopper, I didn't eat it, I was just playing with the grasshopper. Only someone like Sun Wei, who must have starved to death in a past life, would love to eat it."

"Done." Fu Kun said clearly, though his voice was not loud.

His voice was already a bit nasal due to a cold, and whispering so close to his ear made Fu Kun feel a tingling sensation all over his body, as if his ear were being brushed by hair, which made him unable to help but smile

Usually, he cannot eat so much food and can only manage to feel somewhat full. Although he is alone now, with a large bag of buns and a big bowl of porridge on the table, his habits compel him to eat quickly and diligently.

"Picking up bugs to eat," said Fu Yijie in a low voice

You ... ... '' Teacher Yang was probably so angry that she raised her hand

So annoying! Waking up on a cold day always makes me want to explode with anger, and now that I have gotten up, I still have to prepare a portion of milk! I also have to let him play with my things!

However, Fu Yijie is much stronger than Fu Kun had imagined, probably because no one manages him in the welfare institution, and he has to do everything by himself. Fu Yijie is very efficient in brushing his teeth and washing his face

Fu Kun said, "Well..." After a moment of thought, he continued, "It is the 'Fu' from 'to deal with' and the 'Kun' from 'Heaven and Earth'. Do you know what 'Heaven and Earth' means?"

The box is cluttered with various comic books and illustrated stories, along with a few old notebooks

Mom went out with a small bag, and Fu Kun, having dressed himself, glanced sideways at Fu Yijie, who was still lying on the pillow with his eyes closed, feeling particularly unbalanced. Unable to contain himself, he jumped over and shouted at Fu Yijie's face: "Fu Yijie! Get up!"

Fu Yijie remained silent, so he had no choice but to close his mouth and prepare to continue sleeping

He was somewhat captivated, as these were even more beautiful than what the art teacher had painted

Fu Yijie was placed on the back seat of the bicycle. This was the first time in his life that he had ever sat on a bicycle, and he felt somewhat nervous, not knowing where to place his hands.

"I have broken my hand," Fu Kun said nonchalantly as he lifted his arm and turned his face to the side, "I can't write."

"Ah? What do you mean by eating bugs?" Fu Kun was confused, and it took him a long time to respond to this nonsensical question from Yi Jie.

Fu Kun did not understand what Xia Fei meant by this; he only knew that Xia Fei and Zhang Qingkai had a particularly good relationship. Generally speaking, when Xia Fei took Zhang Qingkai downstairs, Zhang Qingkai would have to come back up before going down again.

Hmm?

"Isn't it a bit dry?" Fu Kun asked
