Lin Feng was tall and had long legs, so even though he intended to wait for Lin Xiaoxiao, she was still about one step behind him.

Along the way, Lin Feng hesitated to speak several times. He wanted to ask Lin Xiaoxiao why she was so depressed and wanted to jump into the river, but he was afraid that Lin Xiaoxiao would resist. After all, she was already a grown-up girl with her own thoughts.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't notice Lin Feng's emotions because her attention was completely attracted by Lin Feng's shoes.

Just now, she accidentally glanced down and saw that the sole of Lin Feng's cloth shoes had a hole the size of a fingernail. He was not wearing socks, so the flesh on the soles of his feet flashed again and again with every step he took.

Looking down at the shoes on her feet, Lin Xiaoxiao felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

It was the same pair of coarse cloth shoes, but the ones she wore were in perfect condition. One could tell at a glance that they were new shoes that had just been made not long ago, except that the workmanship was a little rough and the stitches were a little bigger.

Thinking back to the past, every time Lin Feng came back, he would bring some snacks from the city. Although they were not very good, in this day and age, for them, they were not much different from delicacies from land and sea.

The money I saved from buying those things is enough to buy a pair of shoes.

"Brother, please don't bring me anything anymore. You are the backbone of the family. Only when you are well can we be well."

"I have good food and accommodation in the city, but you guys..." Lin Feng pursed his lips, his face full of guilt, "It's all my fault that I, as the eldest brother, have no skills. You guys have suffered so much."

If he had the ability, he wouldn't have forced Xiaoxiao to jump into the river.

"Brother, we don't feel miserable." Compared to when she was without parents and no one loved her before she transmigrated into the book, Lin Xiaoxiao felt that she was very happy now, and poverty was only temporary.

A smile appeared on Lin Feng's lips, and he ruffled Lin Xiaoxiao's hair lovingly.

"When I save some money, I'll bring you all to the city. I've been observing the city for a long time. It's easy to make money there. As long as you have the capital, you can start any small business and support us."

Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, "Brother, do you want to do business too?"

"Yeah." Lin Feng nodded slightly. Thinking of the scene of seeing small vendors doing a booming business in the city, his eyes became bright.

Seeing Lin Feng's eyes, Lin Xiaoxiao felt like she had found a business ally. She tentatively expressed her thoughts. "Brother, I also want to start a small business."

Lin Feng smiled and thought she was just joking as a child.

"What business do you want to do?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell you when I do."

"good."

Lin Feng's tone was light, but full of doting, as if he had no objection to whatever Lin Xiaoxiao said, which made Lin Xiaoxiao feel very warm.

When the two arrived home, Lin Rui had already cooked rice. As the aroma of rice wafted out of the pot, the little kid sitting at the kitchen door was drooling with greed.

On weekdays, the three of them would just make do with boiled sweet potatoes in the evening, and only when there were festivals or something would they eat rice. This time, Lin Rui took out the last bit of rice left in the house in order to nourish Lin Xiaoxiao.

Lin Rui has a hot temper, is simple-minded, and is not afraid of anyone, but he is afraid of Lin Feng.

As for the incident of Lin Xiaoxiao jumping into the river, he felt that he had not taken good care of Lin Xiaoxiao, so when facing Lin Feng, he felt guilty and did not dare to look up. After calling him "big brother", he took the basket from Lin Feng's hand and went into the kitchen to cook.
