Transmigrated to the '70s, I Take My Little Brother to the Countryside to Seek Refuge with My Best Friend

Ruan Mengmeng, who grew up in an orphanage, and her good best friend Zhang Xinxin are a pair of childhood friends who grew up together.

Despite their different personalities, the two girls re...

Chapter 18 Enlightening Ruan Zilong

Ruan Mengmeng took Ruan Zilong to the main room, brought out two stools, gave one to Ruan Zilong, motioned him to sit down, and then sat opposite him herself.

Seeing Ruan Zilong sitting down, Ruan Mengmeng said earnestly;

"Little brother, I know you were reborn. You must have been unhappy in your previous life."

Staring into his eyes, Ruan Mengmeng said seriously.

Today, she decided to talk things out.

"Sister, I won't ask you what you've been through. But you have to understand that we are not in the same life as before!"

Ruan Mengmeng said word by word.

"I didn't leave you, and you didn't recognize Second Aunt as your biological mother. Nothing will happen again!"

Ruan Mengmeng spoke forcefully and firmly.

"I won't leave you either. I will always protect you..."

After saying this, she made a firm assurance that she wanted Ruan Zilong to live in peace without having to worry.

"As for those bad guys who hurt you, I will help you get revenge and make them get the punishment they deserve!"

Ruan Mengmeng still stared into his eyes and made a serious promise.

I hope he doesn't have to live in the sorrow of his past life anymore...it would be really tiring, really tiring...

After listening to his sister's words, Ruan Zilong thought for a while, then looked at Ruan Mengmeng and said uncertainly;

"Really? Will what happened in my previous life really never happen again? Can I really stop worrying about all this?"

He had another nightmare last night, and the dream was full of tragic experiences from his previous life.

They kept replaying those unbearable experiences in his dreams, causing him to uncover the bloody scars again and again.

"Really... Zilong, you're still a five-year-old child. Don't overthink it. I'll take care of everything for you. Just eat well and grow up quickly!"

Looking at Ruan Zilong's ignorant eyes, Ruan Mengmeng reached out and touched her brother's head distressedly, saying soothingly;

"Only if you grow up quickly will you be able to protect your sister and help her share everything..."

Ruan Mengmeng was afraid that he would not listen to her advice, so she gave him a strong dose of medicine to comfort him;

Ruan Zilong was immersed in his own world, but when he heard about protecting his sister and helping her share the burden... he suddenly woke up!

Yeah, what's the point of worrying? Things are different now. If I'm unhappy and sad, it will only make my sister feel bad!

It would be better for me to grow up quickly and work hard to become strong so that I can get everything I want and protect my sister and this family.

Thinking of this, he clenched his fist and nodded firmly;

"Sister, I was childish before! I won't do that again... I will be a good boy and grow up quickly so that I won't make you worry about me!"

Seeing that Ruan Zilong listened to her, Ruan Mengmeng was finally relieved.

This way, there won't be so many differences between the two of you in the future, and you won't have to worry about it all the time. There's still a long way to go! Just talk it out.

"Yeah! That's right! You're still young, leave everything to your sister..."

Ruan Mengmeng patted her chest and said with relief;

Ruan Zilong didn't ask too much. After all, everyone has their own secrets. If he could be reborn, maybe his sister would have some adventures too.

Anyway, no matter what, he was convinced that this was his sister, his Ruan Zilong's biological sister. She accepted him without any hesitation, so what else could he not accept?

After talking it out, the two people seemed to have returned to their old days, and were even more harmonious than before.

However, facing such a mature five-year-old brother, Ruan Mengmeng felt less worried than ever.

He never asked Ruan Mengmeng anything, including why he didn't die in this life, and he would stay by her side obediently.

Sometimes Ruan Mengmeng herself wondered if her younger brother Ruan Zilong had already noticed her difference.

But, maybe he wanted to keep the only good thing in his life and didn't want to expose it...

…………..

Ruan Mengmeng had gotten rid of a worry and felt a lot more relaxed, so the two decided to have a small celebration at noon!

After sending her younger brother to light the fire and wash the pot, she turned and went into the room.

He took out a processed chicken, a carp, and a piece of pork from the space and headed towards the kitchen...

Ruan Zilong was not surprised when he saw what she had in her hand. He just looked up and then lowered his head to continue making fire!

Seeing his reaction, Ruan Mengmeng secretly sighed that he was tactful. If he didn't ask her, she would just pretend she didn't know! ... She was too lazy to explain anyway!

For her, if the two of them were to live together frequently in the future, they would be discovered sooner or later.

Anyone who says he has never been discovered is a fool, right?

If that’s the case, why make yourself suffer?

Just eat and drink. If something unstoppable happens, just use force to solve it. She is no longer afraid!

Besides, Ruan Zilong had gone through so much hardship in his previous life, so he should cherish her, his only relative, even more...

He picked up the kitchen knife nimbly and cut the whole chicken into pieces of equal size. He then killed the fish and dug out its internal organs and gills.

Ruan Mengmeng cut the pork into small cubes and prepared to make braised pork.

The fish was made into sweet and sour fish, and the chicken was made into spicy chicken. Thinking that there was a child with her, she decided to put less chili pepper and make it slightly spicy so that both of them could eat it.

"Little brother, go pick some greens and peppers, pick some cilantro, and pull two onions..."

She shook her hand, handed a small basket to Ruan Zilong and instructed;

"Okay...sister!"

After the two of them talked, Ruan Zilong felt relieved and his tone of voice became lighter.

After answering, he took the basket handed to him by Ruan Mengmeng and ran to the vegetable field; he disappeared in a flash...

Ruan Mengmeng shook her head and laughed, what a child.

Turning around, she continued to process the ingredients, rinsing the chicken and pork one by one, and then rinsing them with cold water.

As soon as they finished, Ruan Zilong came back with a basket of vegetables and helped wash them. Then the two of them started making delicious food again.

One person kept stirring the food, while another sat in front of the stove and kept adding firewood.

Occasionally, Ruan Mengmeng would pick up some delicious food with chopsticks for Ruan Zilong to taste.

After they tasted the food, they exchanged some words, then smiled at each other, looking happy and harmonious, like a family.

At five minutes past twelve, the two of them had filled the table.

The two washed their hands and sat down at the dining table. Ruan Mengmeng slapped her forehead when she thought of something.

“Oh!… I forgot, wait for me…”

With that, she quickly stood up and ran to her room.

Ruan Zilong obediently stayed where he was, waiting for Ruan Mengmeng's next words.

After a while, Ruan Mengmeng came back with two bottles in her hands that he had never seen before.

One contained an orange liquid, and the other was a metal-like can, but because it was opaque, he couldn't see what was inside.
