"Silly girl, whether it's you or her, to me now, they're both my sisters." Jiang Nanqiu spoke gently, soothing Jiang Anxia's broken heart.

Jiang Anxia didn't understand why Jiang Nanqiu didn't blame her at all. "Why don't you blame me? If I hadn't come, your sister should still be fine."

"You really are silly! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have a little sister." Jiang Nanqiu gently tapped Jiang Anxia's head.

It's impossible to say I don't care at all; but that little bit of care isn't for Jiang Anxia, ​​it's for Jiang Xiaohua.

Jiang Xiaohua caused him to lose a younger sister, but gave him a lively and mischievous one in return.

The reason for everything lies with Jiang Xiaohua, so why blame Jiang Anxia? It's not fair to Jiang Anxia at all.

So, if anyone is to blame, it's Jiang Xiaohua, not the innocent Jiang Anxia.

And now, no matter who is in this body, she is his sister; this is their destiny.

Hearing what he said, Jiang Anxia stared intently at Jiang Nanqiu, not expecting to receive such an answer.

She suddenly felt relieved. Yes! She had been overthinking things and hadn't thought them through.

"Thank you, I understand." Jiang Anxia smiled slightly, and this little smile amazed Jiang Nanqiu.

He had never seen Jiang Anxia smile like that before, so he was slightly stunned.

“I’ve already told you, you’re the younger sister. Let’s go back.” Jiang Nanqiu took Jiang Anxia’s hand and led her towards the Jiang family home.

Jiang Anxia followed behind him, watching their hands clasped together.

A sense of peace settled over her; it was as if she had found the warmth she felt in her previous life when her parents were still alive.

"I won't tell anyone else, and you shouldn't tell anyone either, understand?" Suddenly, Jiang Nanqiu stopped and turned to look at Jiang Anxia.

Jiang Anxia, ​​caught off guard, bumped into Jiang Nanqiu. She winced in pain, clutching her head, and looked at Jiang Nanqiu with a wronged expression. "I know."

Looking at Jiang Anxia like this, Jiang Nanqiu almost couldn't help but laugh out loud. "It's good that you know. It seems you're not that stupid."

After saying that, he took Jiang Anxia's hand and continued walking forward.

Jiang Anxia pouted unhappily, feeling extremely wronged.

Jiang Nanqiu always called her stupid, even if she wasn't stupid, he would still call her stupid.

Annoying?

She is very smart.

"Second son! How have you been these past few years?" Mother Jiang asked, her eyes red as she looked at the tall and imposing Jiang Nanqing.

Three years have passed! Her second son has finally returned!

"Mom, I'm doing well. But how are you doing at home? And where's Xiaxia? I don't see her." Jiang Nanqing looked around the yard but didn't see Jiang Anxia, ​​so she couldn't help but ask.

"Alright, alright, all good. Xiaxia must have gone out with your brother." When Jiang's mother was in the kitchen, she heard Jiang Nanqiu calling Jiang Anxia, ​​but she didn't know what they said.

"Okay!" Jiang Nan was slightly disappointed. In the past three years, apart from his parents, the person he missed the most was his younger sister.

When they returned, they found that the girl was missing and had been tricked out by that brat Jiang Nanqiu.

That brat deserves a beating.

Unbeknownst to Jiang Nanqiu, Jiang Nanqing had unknowingly incurred his wrath and was already plotting how to deal with him.

"Second Brother? You're back." Jiang Nanqiu stood at the courtyard gate, extremely shocked to see Jiang Nanqing suddenly appear.

Didn't you say you wouldn't have time to come back until after Xiaxia's birthday? Why is it so much earlier?

"Well, I was thinking about Xiaxia's birthday, so I took a few days off and came back early," Jiang Nan explained softly.

God knows, he practically trampled down the threshold of the regimental commander's house trying to get leave, and the commander had no choice but to grant him leave.

He got the leave he needed and immediately went back to pack his bags, buy a ticket, and go home. He was in such a hurry because he was just arriving on Xiaxia's birthday.

"Second Brother." Jiang Anxia popped her head out from behind Jiang Nanqiu and called out to Jiang Nanqing with a smile.

On the way back, Jiang Nanqiu had been comforting Jiang Anxia, ​​so Jiang Anxia was fine now.

"Xiaxia, how come...you..." are still so tall? Haven't you grown at all in the past three years? Jiang Nan was puzzled. Xiaxia was already this tall when he left home, so how come she's still so tall now that he's back?

"Stop talking." Jiang Anxia already had a premonition that Jiang Nanqing's words were not good.

So what if they say she's short? Well, there's nothing she can do about it! What does it matter to her if the original owner isn't tall?

In her previous life, she was 1.65 meters tall, but after transmigrating, she was only 1.6 meters tall, a full 5 centimeters shorter!

She's the shortest in the whole family.

"Cough..." Jiang Nanqiu clenched her fist and pressed it to her lips, coughing lightly.

"Pfft... Haha..." Mother Jiang burst out laughing.

When she discovered that her daughter wasn't growing taller, she went to the hospital to ask. The doctor said that her daughter was probably growing too slowly, only one centimeter a year, or that she might have stopped growing altogether and would only grow to this height in her lifetime.

When she came back and told Jiang Anxia, ​​Jiang Anxia was depressed for several days.

"Hmph ╯^╰" Jiang Anxia hummed softly.

So what if she's short? She can save on fabric, while taller people use more fabric.

In retrospect, she still won.

"It's okay, it's okay. I brought back some milk powder. Xia Xia drinks a cup every day, hoping she'll grow taller." Jiang Nan looked at Jiang Anxia's puffed-up cheeks and quickly comforted her.

But in Jiang Anxia's opinion, it would have been better not to comfort her at all, as it only made her heart attack more.

"Thank you, Second Brother." Jiang Anxia gave Jiang Nanqing a deathly smile.

But Jiang Nanqing didn't feel anything at all; on the contrary, she was quite happy.

Jiang's mother and Jiang Nanqiu exchanged a glance, both worried about Jiang Nanqing's intelligence.

How can he be so naive? It's hard to believe Xiaxia wants to eat him alive!

Jiang's mother shook her head helplessly and turned to go to the kitchen.

The son had had his fill of admiration and it was time for him to get back to his work.

"Alright, let's go inside! It's not cold outside!" Jiang Nanqiu interrupted the undercurrent between the two.

“Yes, yes, yes, let’s go in first, let’s go in first.” Jiang Nanqing quickly agreed.

How could he forget that Xiaxia is frail and prone to illness?

Watching the two walk towards the main room, Jiang Anxia didn't follow them, but instead went into the kitchen.

Only Jiang's mother was in the kitchen, and Jiang Anxia went to help her because she was afraid of tiring her out.

Now, only she, her mother, Jiang Nanqing, and Jiang Nanqiu are at home in the Jiang family.

Everyone else went to the dam to watch the slaughter of pigs for the New Year, but Jiang Anxia stayed home because she wasn't interested in it.

"What are you doing here? Just go and rest." Jiang's mother was preparing the chicken on the cutting board when she looked up and saw Jiang Anxia coming in.

“Come and work with Mom!” Jiang Anxia quickly explained, afraid that her mother would kick her out if she was late.

"I don't need you, hurry up and get out of here. Just have fun today." Jiang's mother frowned and urged Jiang Anxia to leave.

"I'm afraid you'll get tired." Jiang Anxia pursed her lips.

As expected, they were kicked out.
