“Yes, why is that?” Gu An’an laughed. “Why don’t you ask your older sister and see if she can help you answer that?”

Should I ask my older sister?

Jiang Mingxu felt a little embarrassed; he had just complained about his older sister.

Does your older sister also dislike him?

Looking at the little boy standing there awkwardly and motionless, Gu An'an squatted down and said, "Go apologize to your older sister and let her teach you. She doesn't understand pharmacology, but if you want to learn how to thread a needle, she's more than capable of being your teacher."

The little boy looked timidly at Jiang Mingzhu, "Mother..."

"Go and talk to your older sister properly."

His mother's attitude was gentle, yet she was so resolute. This made Jiang Mingxu realize that acting cute wouldn't work.

Following closely behind, the little boy moved to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) near the window.

Unlike the heated kang beds in Jiangjia Village, this place offered no warmth whatsoever. However, because it was near the window and could let in some sunlight, it became a playground for several children.

Right now, Jiang Mingzhu is teaching Bao'er how to solve the Nine Linked Rings puzzle.

The two sisters were having so much fun that they seemed not to notice Jiang Mingxu standing there.

"Sister." The little boy clutched the piece of paper tightly in his hand and tugged at Jiang Mingzhu's sleeve with his left hand. "Sister, please don't be angry with me, okay?"

As he said this, Jiang Mingxu lowered his head, looking pitiful and wronged.

Jiang Mingzhu was both amused and exasperated by the sight, wondering why it seemed as if she had bullied him.

He was the one who didn't care about me just now.

She glanced at Gu An'an, who was making the bed there.

The latter smiled at her, pointed to the person standing in front of the kang (a heated brick bed), and drew a few circles in the air with his finger, the meaning of which was self-evident.

This is like assigning someone a task.

Jiang Mingzhu wasn't really angry with Jiang Mingxu. As the older sister, how could she possibly quarrel with her younger siblings?

When did I get angry with you?

"No?" Jiang Mingxu immediately raised his head, his eyes sparkling as he looked at the person on the kang. "I knew that my older sister was beautiful and had a good temper. No wonder Mother dotes on her the most. I also like my older sister the most."
