Chu Xinming warned Chu Xinde a few more times, then looked at Aizhu, who was watching the fun beside Xinxin, and said, "Aizhu, don't forget to tell grandpa and grandma tonight that Xinde was talking about grandma behind her back."

Chu Aizhu was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly, "Brother, I understand."

Chu Xinde looked at Chu Aizhu in disbelief when he heard this, "Sister, you are my biological sister!"

Chu Aizhu raised her chin and said in a calm voice, "At the critical moment, I can also not be your biological sister!"

Chu Xinde, "..."

Pingping leaned close to Xinxin and said, "Sister, Grandma will definitely beat Xinde again tonight."

Xinxin glanced at him and whispered, "He deserves it! Who told him to talk nonsense?"

"Yaxin, Si Ya, Ai Zhu, come quickly, I've reserved a good seat for you..."

As soon as they arrived, they saw Xinxin's good friend Hu Xiaohua waving at them.

Xinxin also waved, "Hey, Xiaohua, let's go now..."

After saying that, Xinxin looked at Chu Xinmin, "Cousin..."

"You guys go find some friends. I'll take Pingping and the other boys to find a new seat."

Chu Xinmin was unwilling to sit with a group of little girls. Moreover, he just took a look and found that the seats occupied by Xinxin's friends were really small. The seats were filled up by the girls. He should find a bigger seat so that his parents, grandparents, great-grandmother, uncles and aunts could sit down when they came.

Xinxin looked at Daya when she heard that, "Sister Daya, will you sit with us?"

Daya looked down at her two-year-old brother Qinglai in her arms, thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. Qinglai is noisy, and I'm afraid he'll disturb you if he sits with you. Let's sit with our eldest cousin."

"Xiao Ni will go with you..."

Before she finished speaking, Xiao Ni reluctantly grabbed her hand and said, "No, I want to be with my sister..."

Seeing this, Xinxin shrugged nonchalantly. She glanced at Pingping again, divided the food in the basket, and holding her half, she said, "Pingping, I'll leave half of the food for you, and a kettle of water for you. Lele and I are leaving..."

After saying that, he pulled Pingping, Si Ya and others and ran towards his friends.

It was the first time that the projection team came to their brigade to show a movie. It was a rare opportunity. So, although it was already very cold in the morning and evening, everyone was still watching the movie outside enthusiastically and was reluctant to leave. Even after the movie was over, everyone was still in high spirits.

"Mom, mom, did you hear that? The song in that movie just now was so nice..."

"Xinxin, that movie is called Twinkle Red Star."

"Sister Daya, can you sing the songs in it?"

"I only know a little bit. Our teacher taught me..."

"Wow, sister Daya, can you sing for us?"

"The red star shines brightly, the red star warms our hearts, the red star is the heart of us workers and peasants, the glory of the party shines for generations..."

Before going to bed at night, Xinxin had just taken off her clothes and was about to lie down in bed when she heard Chu Xinde wailing and begging for mercy from next door. She curled her lips into a smile and whispered, "Serves you right!"

Chu Ren's wife was so angry that she sat on the kang and refused to sleep. Chu Ren kicked her with his toes and said, "That's enough. I've beaten you and scolded you..."

Chu Ren's wife turned around and glared at him angrily, "Tell me, what did Wang Meihua teach our children before? Now that we're divorced, and we haven't treated her unfairly, why is she still trying to make the children disloyal to the elders behind our backs?"

Chu Ren also sighed when he heard this, "Fortunately, the child is still young, we can still teach him..."

Chu Ren's wife rolled her eyes. "What's good about that? He's only a little kid, and he's already talking behind his elders' backs about who's favored. Who knows what he'll do when he grows up!"

Chu Ren glanced at her and asked, "Then what do you say we should do?"

Chu Ren's wife was silent for a moment, then stared at Chu Ren with burning eyes, "What do you think about letting Xiao Jie teach?"

Chu Ren frowned and said disapprovingly, "Xiao Jie is at work, how can we teach him? We can't let Xiao Jie take Xin De to the coal mine, right? Then will Xin De still be able to go to school?"

Chu Ren's wife also felt that this was not a good idea. After thinking for a while, she took off her coat and lay down on the kang while sighing, "Forget it, forget it. Let's wait for Xiaojie to come back in a couple of days and tell him what to do!"

Here, in a bedroom of a two-story western-style building in a government family compound far away in Beijing, Yao Xiuli took off her sleeping daughter's cotton-padded clothes and carefully put her into the quilt. Then she stood up and looked at Li Jianmin who was sitting on a chair reading a book.

"Jianmin, it's already late. Why don't you stop reading and read it tomorrow?"

Li Jianmin obediently put down the book in his hand after hearing this, stood up, pinched his nose, walked to her with a smile, put his arms around her waist from behind, and whispered.

"Why do you seem unhappy today?"

Yao Xiuli shook her head slightly, "No."

Li Jianmin frowned, "Don't lie to me, I can feel it. Ever since you came back from shopping with my little sister, even if you had a smile on your face, I could tell there was no smile in your eyes."

Yao Xiuli turned around and faced Li Jianmin, sighed and said, "Jianmin, I didn't feel anything before I came, but now I feel more and more that I am not worthy of you..."

Li Jianmin's eyes flashed with an unknown emotion, and he pursed his lips and said, "Who said what? Was it my little sister who said that?"

"No, go to sleep. It's getting late. I promised my younger sister today that I would go to the supply and marketing cooperative early tomorrow to queue up to buy freshly made jujube paste cakes."

Yao Xiuli thought about it and said nothing. She turned around, took off her sweater, lay on the bed, closed her eyes, and looked like she didn't want to continue the conversation.

She knew what she was thinking. Even if she told him, what would happen? After all, she was Li Jianmin's biological sister, a high school student, a ticket seller at the train station. She had a job and education. Unlike herself, she had no education, no job, and only the identity of Li Jianmin's wife and Huai Yu Niang...

Looking at Yao Xiuli's reaction, Li Jianmin couldn't help but wonder: it must be his younger sister who said something to Yao Xiuli!

He sat by the bed, watching Yao Xiuli go from pretending to sleep to actually falling asleep, then he got up and walked out of the house, coming to the living room on the first floor. He saw his father and two brothers sitting at the dining table, chatting about something, while his eldest and second sister-in-law were sitting on the sofa talking to his mother. As for his younger sister Li Zhizhi, she closed her eyes, resting her head on Li's mother's legs, humming an unknown tune.

Mrs. Li was stunned when she saw Li Jianmin coming down, then asked with a smile, "Jianmin, are your sister-in-law and the child asleep?"

Li Jianmin nodded, walked straight to Li Zhizhi, and asked in an unclear tone.

"Li Zhizhi, what did you say to your third sister-in-law today?"

Li Zhizhi opened her eyes and saw her third brother looking down at her. She snorted disdainfully, "What third sister-in-law? Is she a country bumpkin like her suitable for her?"
