Chapter Seventy He fell into the toilet pit

  "Friend, who is this?"

  Tang Qiu asked Chen Peng with a questioning tone.

  "Mom, didn't I tell you yesterday? I'm going to find someone to help you buy groceries! His name is Leng Qing, he doesn't have any relatives, only a missing younger brother."

  Chen Peng covered up some of the facts. As for Leng Qing's true identity, Chen Peng didn't know much either, it was just that Leng Qing hadn't told him.

  "What? You silly kid, people have their own things to do. At your young age, you can do whatever is good, why follow me to sell vegetables? I say Xiao Peng, what kind of bad idea are you thinking of again?"

  Tang Qiu glared at Chen Pengpeng with a bad temper and said.

  "No way! I saw him being taken away, so I had to take him in. If you don't believe me, just ask him yourself. Leng Qing, big brother, why are you standing there like a fool?"

  Chen Pengpeng thought that his own mother would definitely not believe him, and could only let Leng Qing, this wooden head, make a sound. If this kid didn't speak up, he wouldn't be able to keep him at home, Tang Qiu would definitely disagree.

  "Auntie, everything Xiaopeng said is true."

  Leng Qing simply said and stopped talking. Tang Qiu looked at Leng Qing, feeling that he was a loner who didn't like to talk much.

  "Don't you have a home? How did you get to know Penger? Tell me, is it true that Penger threatened you? You just tell Auntie, and Auntie will take care of it for you!"

  Tang Qiu glared at Chen Pengpeng with a fierce gaze, then turned to Leng Qing and said.

  "My family is all dead, and I'm left with just me and a lost little brother."

  As soon as Leng Qing finished speaking, his eyes were filled with sorrow. His hands clenched tightly, and deep within him was an indelible shadow that he did not dare to touch, for the memories it brought back filled him with hatred!

  "Sorry! People can't come back to life, let's mourn for a while! What's your name? From now on, you'll live with Auntie here! It's also good for Little Peng to have another friend!"

  Tang Qiu saw Leng Qing's painful expression and her heart was filled with sympathy for a moment. She comforted him by saying...

  "My name is Leng Qing!"

  Leng Qing said.

  "Mom, don't worry, I've already sworn brotherhood with Leng Ge when I first met him. Haha!"

  Chen Pengpeng said with a proud expression, as if he had accomplished something great. He looked pleased with himself. Alas, it seemed that he had mistaken someone for his lackey. There had never been anyone like him before; this remark was quite something coming from him.

  "Alright, I've cooked everything, come in and eat quickly!"

  Tang Qiu didn't want to continue talking about this topic either, she was afraid of stirring up Leng Qing's painful memories and quickly changed the subject. Tang Qiu is really a good person with a great heart, who understands others' thoughts and feelings, what a wonderful mother.

  "Hiss, hiss, hiss..."

  Suddenly a burst of footsteps rushed over here, and saw Zhou Xiaofeng panting like a dog. His whole body was covered in sweat and stench, really miserable to death.

  "Cough cough, Tang...Tang...Auntie Tang you...you're good!"

  Zhou Xiaofeng ran up and bent down, his hands on his knees panting. Tang Qiu suddenly saw Zhou Xiaofeng like this, looked at Chen Peng with a puzzled expression in her heart. Chen Peng pretended to be unaware, spread his hands, and had an "I don't know" look.

  "Xiao Feng, how did you get here? Why do you smell so bad?"

  Tang Qiu covered her nose and said to the disheveled Zhou Xiaofeng, "Zhou Xiaofeng also felt an urge to cry, wasn't all of this good deeds done by Chen Pengpeng? How could he bear it?"

  "Mom, Xiaofeng might have just fallen into the toilet pit, otherwise why would his whole body smell so stinky? Is that right, Xiaofeng?"

  Zhen Pengpeng saw Zhou Xiaofeng, who was panting and couldn't speak. Zhou Xiaofeng heard his words and hated to go forward and strangle Zhen Pengpeng to death, but he was too tired to do so. Today, he was treated so miserably, it was really miserable enough.

  "What? Xiaofeng, you fell into the toilet pit? Hurry up and go wash yourself quickly! It really stinks!"

  Tang Qiu heard that Chen Peng said he fell into the toilet pit, and thought it was true, so he hurriedly advised Zhou Xiaofeng to go to the bathroom to wash up. Zhou Xiaofeng was so angry that he was about to smoke, who told himself to have a body of stinky smell? How could he explain it to others? It's like a mute eating bitter melon, hard to say clearly!

  "Little... little... little friend, you... you..."

  "What's wrong with you? You stink like trash, can't you go to the bathroom and take a bath quickly? Mom, let's go eat, don't mind him, he can wash or not."

  Chen Pengpeng finished speaking and walked into the house first. Leng Qing followed him in, but not before glancing at Zhou Xiaofeng's disheveled appearance. He shrugged helplessly, as if to say "I'd love to help, but I'm powerless", then stepped inside the house.

  "Little friend, let's wait for Xiao Feng, after he finishes his bath and comes out, we'll eat together!"

  Tang Qiu saw Zhou Xiaofeng's wronged expression and felt a surge of affection. Her own son and Zhou Xiaofeng often joked around, and she couldn't do anything about these two treasures, so she just let them be. Zhou Xiaofeng was extremely indignant at this moment, he pointed his finger at Chen Pengpeng, but couldn't say a word. He had rushed back from the small woods, and it was already good that he could catch his breath now. Seeing Chen Pengpeng enter the house, he quickly ran to the bathroom, knowing that if he wasn't fast enough, he wouldn't even have bones left to eat soon.

  "Xiao Feng, I put Xiao Peng's clothes on the horizontal bar. I think his clothes should fit you."

  Tang Qiu saw that Zhou Xiaofeng had already started taking a bath in the bathroom, so he went to find Chen Pengpeng's clothes for him to change into. At first, when Tang Qiu handed his clothes to Zhou Xiaofeng, Chen Pengpeng was still unwilling! He was just afraid that later on, Zhou Xiaofeng would come out wearing only his underwear, which would be too embarrassing. So he could only lend him a pair of pants to wear, after all, he was his brother!

  "Uh-huh, got it, Aunt Tang."

  Zhou Xiaofeng was spraying shower gel on himself while answering. He just wanted to get rid of the stench quickly and then go out to grab a bite with Chen Pengpeng. As someone who liked cleanliness, he was afraid that the smell on his body would be hard to get rid of, and he didn't know how many times he had washed himself with shower gel.

  "Come on, Xiaofeng is taking a bath for so long, how much longer do we have to wait? I'm starving! Mom, can't we just not wait for him?"

  Chen Pengpeng gazed at the dishes on the table, swallowing his saliva. If it weren't for waiting for that guy Zhou Xiaofeng, Chen Pengpeng would have eaten his fill long ago. Why bother staring at these delicious dishes with his eyes and not being able to pick up his chopsticks?

  "Haha, you're so anxious! I love washing for that long, what's wrong with you going to wash too?"

  Zhou Xiaofeng came out of the toilet and heard Chen Pengpeng talking about him, so he had to make a sarcastic comment. Otherwise, every time he would be fooled by him, how could he feel at ease?

  "My god, you're such a waste of space! This beautiful piece of clothing is completely ruined on your body! From now on, even if you have nothing to wear, don't dare touch my clothes again. Look at yourself, you can't even compare to Pigsy!"

  When Chen Pengpeng saw Zhou Xiaofeng come out, he was wearing his own clothes. He couldn't help but speak his mind when he took a look. Zhou Xiaofeng looked really ugly in Chen Pengpeng's clothes, originally his body was quite sturdy and much taller than Chen Pengpeng, now the clothes on him seemed like they were about to burst open. Just like a giant gorilla on TV, no wonder Chen Pengpeng would say that.

  "Alright, you two are always arguing with each other, it's really helpless! Xiaofeng, everyone is waiting for you! Come sit down and eat quickly!"

  Tang Qiu said to the two of them in a bad mood, "No one is helping." And Leng Qing was like a mute, no matter what they were saying, he wouldn't respond, just sitting there like a wooden stake. Zhou Xiaofeng heard that dinner was ready and immediately sat down, picked up his bowl and chopsticks, and started shoveling food into his own bowl with all his might. Chen Pengpeng did the same, these two were already used to it. Every time Zhou Xiaofeng came to freeload, they would have a big scramble.

  Tang Qiu saw that Leng Qing wasn't even picking up any dishes, just burying his head and eating. She saw this and kept putting food into Leng Qing's bowl, making Chen Pengpeng and Zhou Xiaofeng green with envy on the side.

  Tang Qiu's actions scared Leng Qing so much that he almost dropped his bowl and chopsticks, luckily he reacted quickly enough, or else he would have made a big fool of himself. Actually, Leng Qing wasn't afraid, but rather he was too moved. Since his parents died, he hadn't felt this kind of maternal love again. Now, he once again felt the warmth of motherly love, making him feel honored and surprised.

  "Hehe, Xiaqing should eat more. If you don't grab food here, you won't have anything to eat! Xiaopeng and Xiaofeng have been like this since they were little!"

  Tang Qiu pretended to be angry and glared at Chen Pengpeng and Zhou Xiaofeng. She thought that Leng Qing was really too introverted, so she decided to show him some care, maybe he would change. When Tang Qiu spoke, Leng Qing's eyes turned red. To hide his emotions, he buried his head in the bowl and ate the food Tang Qiu had given him with all his might. He still hadn't adapted yet, and soon finished eating, then hastily ran out of the room. Chen Pengpeng and Zhou Xiaofeng looked at each other, feeling a bit depressed by his unusual behavior, but they quickly forgot about it and continued their meal. Meanwhile, Tang Qiu was lost in thought as she watched Leng Qing's retreating back.

  "Xiao Peng, Xiao Feng, you two should interact with Xiao Qing more often from now on, do you know that? He's too introverted, if you can help him open up, I believe he'll be an outstanding kid!"

  Tang Qiu suddenly said to Chen Pengpeng and Zhou Xiaofeng. She wanted her son to take it one step at a time, letting Leng Qing open that untouchable door. She believed that one day, Leng Qing's door would slowly open for them, it was just a matter of time.

  "Mom, don't worry! I've already endured hardships for the sake of my older brother, just believe in your son! Haha~~~"

  Chen Pengpeng was extremely pleased with himself. But this guy had the capital to be proud of, he believed that Leng Qing would follow him wholeheartedly, and this wholeheartedness was not just following but brotherly love. This feeling could make brothers stab each other in the back, even if it meant losing their own lives, they would do so without hesitation.

  "Tang Auntie, I think that person is really impossible to get close to. He always has a cold and icy expression on his face. Whoever sees him gets scared away, who would dare to be friends with him?! I'm telling the truth, my first impression of him was exactly like this!"

  Zhou Xiaofeng was very dissatisfied with Chen Pengpeng's attitude, and whenever Chen Pengpeng said one thing, he would say two. The two of them had to quarrel endlessly before doing anything.
