Chapter 17 Group Favor
Jiang Zhiluo knelt down and picked up the little boy, "Xuanxuan, I miss you too."
This is her youngest brother, only five years old. His first name is Jiang Yunxuan and his nickname is Xuanxuan.
Xuanxuan held her neck with his little hands and arched his head, looking like he was relying on her.
Jiang Zhiluo looked at her little brother's cute and well-behaved appearance, and felt her heart soften.
She really has no ability to deal with children.
Not to mention that when she was in her natal family, even though she was the eldest sister, even her five-year-old brother would be nice to her because she was always not very smart.
If there is something delicious, I will try to give it to her first.
She has many younger brothers and sisters, but the Jiang family is very harmonious, and her younger brothers and sisters are also very kind to her.
Just seeing how thin her five-year-old brother was, Jiang Zhiluo felt very distressed.
The conditions of my natal family are also very average. There are many younger brothers and sisters, and everyone often does not have enough to eat.
Even though he eats closely with his youngest brother Xuanxuan, he is also sensible and never eats alone. He eats what his brothers and sisters eat.
Even if his brothers and sisters save their own food for him, he won’t eat it. He always says, “I’m still young, I eat less, and I’m not hungry.”
means to be very well-behaved.
“Here, my sister brought you some sweets.”
The candies I bought in town were just enough for each of my younger brothers and sisters.
Xuanxuan saw the candy his sister put in his hand, and his eyes instantly brightened, "Wow, sister, it's really candy."
“Sister, when you and your brother-in-law got married, my mother gave each of us a candy and then it was gone.”
“Sister, I didn’t even eat it secretly, leaving it for you to eat.”
With that said, Xuanxuan dug hard, took out a candy from his pocket, and carefully gave it to his sister.
Like offering a treasure, "Sister, here you go."
Jiang Zhiluo saw that her five-year-old brother was reluctant to eat it and carefully hid it before giving it to her. For a moment, Jiang Zhiluo felt weak in her heart.
I just feel so cozy and heartwarming.
“Xuanxuan can just eat it, there’s no need to leave it to sister.” Jiang Zhiluo knew that her younger brother liked sweets and candies.
But the conditions in rural areas are poor, so they can only eat candy during the Chinese New Year.
Either if there is a happy event in the village, some family will hand out candies, and the children will follow them all the way, and they may grab one or two pieces of candies.
But they are also very precious things.
Xuanxuan didn't understand why, blinked his big eyes and said, "But sister also likes to eat sweets. Xuanxuan won't eat them, so give them to sister."
Jiang Zhiluo could only say: "Sister doesn't like eating sweets now, so Xuan Xuan can just eat them. Sister will get a lot of candies for Xuan Xuan in the future."
When Jiang Zhiluo said this, she probably understood why her parents always said they didn't like eating the delicious food made at home.
It turns out that it’s not that I don’t like to eat, it’s just that I’m reluctant to eat and don’t want the children to feel burdened, so I just say that I don’t like to eat.
“Then what does sister like to eat? Xuanxuan will buy it for sister when she grows up and is able.”
Jiang Zhiluo smiled softly and kissed Xuan Xuan's little cheek. She felt that this younger brother was cute and well-behaved. "Okay, then our Xuan Xuan must eat well and eat more, so that we can become smarter and stronger."
“Yeah, sister, I’ve had a good meal.”
Despite what she said, Jiang Zhiluo knew that the conditions at home were very average, and her younger brothers and sisters rarely had enough to eat.
But it’s better than the Cui family.
“Let’s go home.”
Jiang Zhiluo hugged Xuanxuan and walked home.
Xuanxuan leaned on Jiang Zhiluo, looked back, and suddenly saw Cui Hejin, he said with a smile: "Beautiful brother-in-law."
Jiang Zhiluo paused, turned around, and looked at Cui Hejin behind her.
She wished she could slap herself on the forehead. She was so busy talking to her brother that she forgot that Cui Hejin was beside her. She smiled guiltily and said, "Well, let's go in together. My parents should be waiting at home."
Cui Hejin's eyes were a little bright and dark, making it difficult for people to distinguish his expression.
He said calmly: "Okay."
Then he followed Jiang Zhiluo into the yard carrying the basket on his back.
The Jiang family is also a mud house, but it looks much more spacious and sturdier. It has a special courtyard wall and a special gate, unlike the Cui family, which only has a small courtyard with a fence.
After entering, it looks like four main rooms. There is also a side room on the left side of the yard, which is convenient for storing some sundries. The right side is cleared out to create a vegetable garden.
There is also a wooden chicken coop and a wooden duck coop at the foot of the wall, next to a pile of dry firewood and haystacks.
There is also a rope stretched from front to back in the yard. It is a clothesline, and there are several pieces of clothes hanging on it.
It’s also all patches upon patches.
Jiang Zhiluo knew that her parents loved to be clean. Even if they wore patched clothes, they had to change them frequently and keep them clean.
As soon as Xuanxuan entered the door, he called out: "Mom, sister and brother-in-law are back."
As soon as I heard the sound, I heard a bang in the house, as if a ladle fell on the ground.
Immediately afterwards, a thin and gentle woman walked out quickly.
Following closely behind was a little girl.
“Zhiluo, Hejin, you are here, hurry up, get in the house quickly.”
The eight-year-old girl looked up at Jiang Zhiluo and Cui Hejin, and shouted crisply: "Sister, brother-in-law."
Cui Hejin responded softly.
The little girl is Jiang Yunmian, the fifth sister of Jiang Zhiluo.
She has three brothers and two sisters.
Although the younger brothers and sisters have different temperaments, they are all very kind to her eldest sister.
Although the farm sisters don't have enough to eat and don't have enough clothes to wear, there is no intrigue. They love each other and think about how to live a good life. When they don't have enough to eat, they always give in, even if they are hungry. , I also want my brothers and sisters to be fed.
Because my predecessor was stimulated when he was a child, he was always not very smart.
So even though she is the eldest sister, her younger brothers and sisters love her and are very kind to her.
Jiang Yunmian looked at the basket on his eldest brother-in-law's back with discernment and said, "Sister, my brother-in-law is carrying very heavy things."
Jiang Zhiluo came back to her senses and didn't bother to chat with her mother, so she quickly asked Cui Hejin to put down the basket on her back.
“Mom, this is what my mother-in-law has prepared a long time ago. She asked me to bring it here.”
When Jiang Zhiluo's mother, Ye Shi, looked at the things in the basket, she felt a little regretful and said, "How can you let your mother-in-law bring you so many things? This is too much."
“Hejin, we are all a family from now on. You and Zhiluo can just come back from now on. You don’t need to bring anything with you.”
"As long as you two live a good life, your father and I will feel relieved."
When I go out to visit relatives in the village, I always bring a few white flour dumplings with me.
But Jiang Zhiluo came home with so many eggs, not to mention two packets of brown sugar.
Those are things that cannot be bought with money.
Especially good for women’s health.
This thing is expensive, and Mr. Ye is usually reluctant to spend money on it.
In her heart, Ms. Ye feels that her daughter and son-in-law can live a good life. As a mother, she does not want them to worry about the family, but only thinks about their well-being, and she will feel happy in her heart.
And she didn’t want to cause any trouble to the children.
