Chapter 6: 1970s sisters
Actually, the Jiang family is not bad for He Nian and He Yi.
After all, in the past two years, the food and clothing expenses have been paid by their own children, and their sisters and brothers also have them, and they have never been harshly treated.
But these things were not originally "given" by them. Instead, a part was "drawn" from the Huo family's alimony.
Allotted to them both.
This kind of good, as if the fire was wrapped in a mass of glass slag.
The distant person looked at him with a warm warmth, as if he was digging his heart out.
The close-up feeling is hot and heart-wrenching.
Can't tell if it's bitter or sweet.
Just like the package of candy that Mother Huo gave to Grandma Jiang last time.
The package contained not only sugar, but also malted milk, two sweaters, and pen and paper utensils donated by Huo Xingchao at the urging of his mother.
Mother Huo didn't say anything at the time.
He just said that He Yi was weak, so she was tired to make a cup every day, and if she finished drinking, tell her again.
She didn't just mean malted milk, but other things in the package.
But when Grandma Jiang went home and thought about it, she felt that the child left too much sugar and ate it all at once. If she wanted to eat bad teeth, she simply put it with her.
Then he took out a few with a smile,
"You can share the candy that grandma brought back."
Jiang Xiaxia cheered happily and took the candy.
One for you and one for me, just distributed to everyone.
As for the rest, He Nian would never ask her for it.
He Yi won't either.
He doesn't like Jiang Xiaxia.
He always felt that many things about his sister would eventually be taken away by Sister Xiaxia.
The painting pen that Xingchao's brother gave to his sister was taken away by Xiaxia's sister before she even used it.
My sister actually liked those brushes very much and was reluctant to give them. But Sister Xia Xia insisted, she had to leave and didn't return it, she occupied it by herself.
It's so bad.
......
As for the sweater, Grandma Jiang gave them.
After all, it was made according to the size of He Nian and He Yi, and next time they go to the city, if the Huo family sees the two brothers and sisters still wearing old clothes, they will inevitably have an idea.
What about malted milk.
As a premature baby, He Yi is physically weaker.
However, which children in rural areas are so expensive, nutritional products such as malted milk essence, children drink too much, but they are too supplementary, and they can't stand it.
She gave it to her pregnant daughter-in-law. After all, people are pregnant and need to make up.
But Grandma Jiang thought she was not such a black-hearted person. In order to compensate He Yi, she still steamed egg custard for him from time to time.
Among so many children, he is the only one who has this treatment.
Jiang Xiaxia often said enviously, "Xiaoyi, my milk is so kind to you."
it is good.
In the hearts of He Nian and He Yi who knew nothing.
The rest of the Jiang family don't say, at least, Grandma Jiang is really kind to them.
But now, He Nian doesn't think so.
The words Huo Xingchao said to her had the biggest impact.
It was the impression of Grandma Jiang in her heart.
......
After Huo Xingchao was pulled back by He Nian, he put this matter aside for the time being and began to dig things out of his pocket.
Before in the kitchen, he only gave a jar of sugar.
As for the rest, he didn't want to give them two in front of the Jiang family.
A tin train and a box of chocolates.
There are other half-worn toys from his own past.
He Yi's mind was all stuffed into He Yi.
these things.
Not only He Yi, but even Huo Xingchao himself cherished it very much.
It's all for him.
The child almost jumped up in excitement. The small body held the train and the chocolate, raised his head, his eyes were shining, and he had something to say.
But in the end, I couldn't say it, I could only shout his name with great excitement,
"Brother Xingchao!"
I don't even know what to express.
Huo Xingchao was still picking out things.
"He Nian, I'll give you the ink next time I come to the city."
He stuffed her with a stack of envelopes, letterheads and stamps, and instructed earnestly, "You have to write to me."
Jiang's house is close to the entrance of the village. The third child is a soldier again, and sometimes he will write back.
Every time the postman delivers a letter, he sends the letter from their family directly to them, without having to go to the village party secretary to get it.
So Huo Xingchao was not afraid that the letter he wrote to He Nian was taken away by the rest of the Jiang family.
It's not that he has a dark mind, but that he really doesn't trust this family.
He Nian took a stack of envelopes and letter paper and looked at the rows of stamps, feeling a little helpless.
"Brother Huo, I don't know what to write..."
"Whatever you want to write, if you don't want to write, you can just paint. By the way, where's the brush I gave you earlier?"
"..."
"Here I am."
The door was opened, revealing a lively face, the little girl smiled brightly,
"I wanted to paint before, and I borrowed it from Niannian. Niannian, I'll give it back to you in a while."
After she finished speaking, her eyes turned to the stamp in her hand again, and she blinked curiously,
"Niannian, what is this?"
As for the more attractive toys and chocolates in He Yi's hands, they had already been stuffed under the quilt by the clever man when the door rang.
Then he turned his head and stared at Jiang Xiaxia vigilantly.
"none of your business."
Huo Xingchao stopped He Nian from behind and stared at Jiang Xiaxia with a bad expression.
"You are not allowed to take He Nian's things again."
......
Probably because his eyes were too fierce.
Jiang Xiaxia pursed her lips, and responded with some aggrieved, "Oh."
Huo Xingchao didn't say much.
He watched He Nian put everything in the cabinet, and then took out the lock to lock the cabinet, and felt that she should have some knowledge in her heart.
So he was very relieved to pull He Yi to eat.
"Brother Huo, why did you give Niannian so many gifts? I don't have any."
Jiang Xiaxia followed behind him, looking a little unhappy.
"Did I do something wrong?"
Obviously before.
There is no such thing.
Although Brother Huo was not good to her, he was not good to Nian Nian either.
Always ignore people.
But when he came back this time, he suddenly treated Nian Nian very well, and he was very fierce to her.
......
Huo Xingchao had already walked to the door of the kitchen.
Hang Er Langdang, "Grandpa He is our benefactor, of course I want to be nice to her, who are you, why should I give you gifts."
He sneered,
"And you are always robbing He Nian's things, and even if you rob He Nian's things, you don't even let a small child like He Yi let go. You are not ashamed."
They have reached the door.
Huo Xingchao's voice did not restrain at all, and everyone in the kitchen heard the boy's merciless words.
"My grandfather asked your grandma to bring so much money and tickets to He Nianhe Yi, and your grandma still hides it by herself."
"And my mother. My mother gives a lot of small bags every month. Why, did you feed it all into the dog's stomach?"
"You have taken so many things from He Nian. It's okay to lie to my mother and my grandfather. I won't be fooled by you idiots."
......
Awkward.
All the children and adults in the kitchen room who already knew what was going on were embarrassed.
Grandma Jiang sat beside the table and felt a burning pain in her old face.
Yes.
As Huo Xingchao said, she didn't give He Nian sister and brother a lot of things directly.
But in the final analysis, she is not all for the good of their two children.
And there are so many people in the village, who wouldn't say that she took care of the two children.
He Yi has a bowl of egg custard every two days. How can any of the Jiang family's children have this kind of treatment?
Said she was a coward.
In the past two years, she has been kind to He Nian and He Yi, which point is false?
......
Huo Xingchao didn't care about the impact of his reckless words.
Anyway, his character is a sloppy bastard.
He just wanted to say it out loud in front of everyone and slap them in the face, and then wake up his mother by the way.
As for whether or not he can wake up the Jiang family, it doesn't matter.
As long as the mother can't send things to those white-eyed wolves again, He Nian can live better than he is now.
Ask him to say that He Nian is capable and sensible, so he can cook, do laundry, and mend his clothes by himself.
Every month, she gave herself money tickets and things, and let her take her brother to live alone. She can live well as a little girl.
Anyway, He Yi doesn't need to drink milk anymore.
When she needs to go to school, she will send He Yi to the village chief's house.
The village chief of Shaping Village is a good man. He took care of Dad He and still looks after them.
As long as the village chief's family is given a little bit of care and food expenses every month, the village chief can definitely make He Yiyang's life fat in vain.
- Unfortunately, this is impossible.
He Nian and their current hukou have been moved to the Jiang family.
Adults don't think a little girl can take care of herself while taking care of a three-year-old child.
His mother and his grandfather will definitely not be relieved.
Huo Xingchao pouted,
"He Nian, next time you come to the city, I will ask grandpa to give you the things directly, you can hide it yourself, and don't let them fool you again."
"What do you say!"
Suddenly, a displeased male voice came from the door, the voice was calm,
"Xingchao, you are so old, can you understand something!"
......
Huo Xing raised his eyebrows and turned his head.
......
It's his brother.
He Nian's fiance.
Huo Chenyang.
