Lian Xiaomin took out a stack of photos that she had taken of her children. She developed them and took them back to her hometown to show her relatives.

These four children are in the stage of growing and changing their appearance.

Zhang Dacui, Lian Qiuping, Li Xianghai and others looked at them carefully and exclaimed how good the children were.

More than two years have passed, and Xiaofu is now over seven years old. When he arrived in Hong Kong, he went to primary school at the age of five and a half.

When school starts in September this year, we will be in the third grade.

It wasn't Lian Xiaomin who forced him to go to school in the morning, it was just that this kid was too naughty and couldn't stay at home.

He kept clamoring to go to school with his older brothers and sisters, so they stuffed him into the primary school group of Zhenhua School, leaving him to Sun Han to take care of him.

Unexpectedly, the little brain is so useful. He is very smart in studying and loves to learn.

Especially he likes to learn English. When Lawrence Lu is at home, Xiaofu would pester him after school and would "communicate" with his brother-in-law quite seriously. The little words that often popped up made Lawrence Lu laugh and cry.

He also dislikes Lian Xiaomin's unstandard English. She doesn't even look down on him when chatting with her sister, hey!

Lian Xiaomin's spoken English and Cantonese are indeed not very good. In her previous life, she only had the level of CET-4 or CET-6 and had never studied abroad, so her spoken English is not that good.

Lawrence Lu went to live in London when he was two or three years old, and returned to Hong Kong in his early twenties. This guy Xiaofu is quite good at choosing people.

Xiao Ya is six years old this year and is still staying at home, playing with Jun Jun, who is only three months younger than her, all day long.

These two brother and sister of the same age can play for one more year and then talk about going to school when they turn seven next year.

The youngest, Gua Gua, is two months away from turning four years old. Now this little kid knows how to follow behind his big sister, Xiao Ya, and play like crazy.

The three of them are together at home, and they have company all day long. They eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks. The little kids don’t know what sorrow is, and they are carefree. I really hope they can grow up slowly.

Lian Xiaomin went to her aunt and grandmother's room and looked at the little kids who were sleeping soundly.

Xiaofeng is going to be eight years old by the end of this year, and she will go to the village primary school to start the first grade when school starts in the fall.

She is very sensible. There are many children in the family, and she helps her mother and grandmother take care of her younger siblings. The younger ones follow their eldest sister around all day long and act like her soldiers.

The triplets are five and a half years old, which is the age when everyone hates them. Only Xiaofeng can control the three of them, as they are little troublemakers all day long.

The fifth child, Dundun, is four years old and is now a real little fat boy. He and the sixth child, Nian Nian, who is one year old, are the youngest and sleep on the same kang with their parents.

The other four children slept in another room with their grandmother.

The first time Lian Xiaomin saw Nian Nian, the one-year-old baby was fair and clean, and bubbling with laughter.

She took out a small golden lock from her bag. Alas, “all children are equal”, so everyone gets one.

For her aunt's child, she specially asked the master of the silver shop to carve his name on the small golden lock, and gave it to Da Cuinai and Lian Qiuping.

But how could Nian Nian, the youngest child, know that this little golden lock had no name, only the three characters "Fu Bao Bao", wishing the little baby good luck~

Zhang Dacui was stunned. Oh my god, six small golden locks... She just didn't know the word "wholesale". Otherwise, she would have to ask, "Xiaomin, are you doing wholesale?"

Lian Qiuping smiled and said softly, "Xiaomin, you have never held Nian Nian. Come, let me hold him for you and share your blessing! Xiaomin is the most blessed and capable child in our family."

Lian Xiaomin carefully picked up the sleeping baby, held the soft little body in her arms, and kissed the little face twice.

"Little Niannian, when you grow up, come and visit Hong Kong with me. You have to grow up quickly~"

She held Nian Nian for a while, then gently put her on the kang. She looked at the child next to her and went over to talk to her best friend Dun Dun.

The little guy was sleeping soundly, and Lian Xiaomin held his little hand.

Wow, this kid has grown a lot. A four-year-old kid looks almost the same as the five-year-old triplets. This child has grown up.

I also went to take a look at Dabao, Erni, Xiaosanbao and the most well-behaved and pretty Xiaofeng who were all asleep.

Xiaofeng has grown up in the blink of an eye. She is no longer the thin and small girl with yellow hair and malnutrition. Now she is very beautiful.

After staying for a while, he went back to Yufang's room.

It was really late at night, so Yufang followed Huang Liyuan back to his home and left this room for Xiaomin.

Huang Liyuan said that he would ask his younger brother Xiao Dongzi to come over early tomorrow morning and take all the children at home to play at his home.

It would be more convenient to make room for Xiaomin to reunite with her family and spend a good day there.

The children are too young and can’t control their mouths. We can’t let them know that Lian Xiaomin has come back, including Xiaofeng.

Let’s all go to Lao Huang’s house tomorrow and play with brother Xiaodongzi for a day. We can also have meals there.

Everything was settled, and the two of them quietly went out and left.

Lian Qiuping and Zhang Dacui chatted with Lian Xiaomin for a while longer and did not go back to their room to sleep until two o'clock in the middle of the night.

In this way, Lian Xiaomin stayed at her aunt's house for five days.

The two sacks of things she took contained nothing more than cloth, sweaters, cotton-padded jackets, leather and cotton-padded shoes, and other relatively scarce materials that had to be purchased with coupons.

There was also some milk powder, canned food, and five or six pounds of candy, which were left for the children to eat slowly.

Early Monday morning, Yufang and her husband set out early and rode their bikes back to the county town.

Lian Xiaomin didn't continue to stay at her aunt's house. People in the village never closed their doors, so who knows when someone might come to visit.

She went to the commune and lived in an empty courtyard in the alley near Sun Xuefeng's home.

At night, when it was dark and the children were asleep, she would go back to the village to visit Li's family, and then leave again in the second half of the night. She stayed like this for several days, being very cautious in everything she did.

She also made a special trip back to her small courtyard at the foot of the mountain. Zhang Dacui cleaned every room there and maintained it from time to time, keeping everything the same as it was two years ago.

She also said that she would take good care of the yard for Xiaomin and it would always be hers.

Lian Xiaomin was so moved when she returned to her former home that tears came to her eyes. She had so many memories here.

She really wants to keep this small courtyard forever until the future~

Lian Xiaomin left a lot of supplies for her aunt's family in the cellar of her own house, mainly grain and oil, so that they would not feel bad about it and would not be reluctant to eat fine grains.

A total of ten bags of flour, two bags of millet, five bags of cornmeal, two bags of soybeans, and five barrels of soybean oil were left behind.

It's only been 74 years. In fact, most families still don't have enough to eat. With such a large family and six children, the older they get, the more they can eat. So save the food for them.

Five or six days passed in a flash. One day, during his lunch break, Li Xianghai went to the commune's transport team to deliver a letter to Doubao and Wang Xintian.

Ask them to go to the address Lian Xiaomin gave them quietly after get off work to meet her.

The two brothers were very excited, Xiaomin is back!

This is their best friend wow!

They waited until the end of the get off work day, and quickly shook off the sight of others and quietly went to the yard.
