Shishi took a pancake, gave one to each of Chou Chou and Xiao Shi, gave one to Xie Lin, and then took the remaining three to the Xiao family.
Daya wanted to go home for dinner, so she asked Da Ya to help her take the food to the Shen family.
"Okay, I understand. I'll tell them it was you who gave it to me."
She ran out, followed by three little ones who were taking crunchy bites of their pancakes.
Xie Lin took a bite of the pancake, chewing it with a crunchy sound, but showed no intention of opening his mouth.
The three people, left to stand there and only able to smell the air, swallowed hard at the same time.
Even though they were completely ignored, they still wanted to eat.
Xie Miao and Lou Xiaomin are fine; they ate meat a couple of days ago.
Xie Hao hadn't touched oily food since leaving Beijing, but the aroma of oil was irresistible, and he really couldn't resist.
He suppressed his inner desire, brazenly stepped into the yard, and glanced at the neighbor next door.
"Big brother, I..."
"You'd be better off calling me Deputy Regiment Commander Xie." Xie Lin raised his hand to interrupt him, his eyes filled with indifference.
Xie Hao was angry, but he knew it wasn't the time to be angry.
"Deputy Regiment Commander Xie, may we come inside to talk?"
If Xie Lin's attitude was good, it wouldn't matter in the courtyard, but it was obvious that the other party didn't like him. If others heard this, it might not be a good thing.
Liu Mei and her husband were sitting in the yard eating pancakes when they heard these two sentences, so they wisely went back inside.
Those below might not know that the two were brothers, but Political Commissar Li had already learned this from Xiao Dan.
Liu Mei only found out in the last two days; Zhang Tong told her about it and asked her to keep an eye on the neighbors next door.
Xie Lin casually sat down and ate a pancake, ignoring the three of them and showing no intention of moving into the main room. He didn't care whether they wanted to talk or not.
Seeing this, Xie Hao had no choice but to lower his voice and speak.
"I think you should know by now that I'm your younger brother and Miaomiao is your younger sister. Our father was implicated and sent to the countryside. I think the three of us siblings should stick together, don't you think?"
"Yes, Uncle, we are unfamiliar with this place and felt quite lost. We never expected to have relatives here. It's really exciting."
“Dad misses you very much and often talks about you in front of us. But he doesn’t know where you are. He has been searching for you for so many years but has not been able to find you. You have suffered so much.”
"Uncle, you've had a tough time all these years. Don't worry, we'll live a good life together as a family from now on and we won't let you suffer anymore."
"Big brother, there are only the three of us siblings left in the family. We should help each other. As the eldest brother, you are like a father. From now on, this family will depend on you as the pillar."
The three of them took turns singing, saying things that surprised everyone. They were very serious and full of emotion, as if they really considered him family.
Unity?
Is the eldest brother considered the father?
Thinking about him?
Haha, you can actually say such ridiculous things, no wonder you're family.
"You say I'm your eldest brother, do you have any proof? Or tell me your father's name first so I can verify it."
“Xie Jiancheng,” Xie Hao said.
It's understandable to be cautious when recognizing relatives, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with Xie Lin asking such a question, after all, it was the first time the two brothers had met.
But then I heard: "My dad's name is different from your dad's. His name is Stone."
Xie Hao frowned. How come he didn't know that his father had a nickname, Stone?
Then I heard, "My dad's full name is Shitou (Stone), and his nickname is Xie Xie (Thank You), not Xie Jiancheng (Xie Jiancheng), so you've mistaken him for someone else."
He was born from a stone; the stone is his father.
"Big brother..."
“Stinky Egg, Dad’s full name is Xiao Dan, not Stone. His nickname isn’t Thank You either, it’s San Dan.”
The person eavesdropping couldn't help but correct them, but didn't show their face.
Li Pengfei, who was sitting at the entrance of the main room, finished eating a pancake and was drinking salt water when he spat out a mouthful of water.
Silly girl, if you're eavesdropping, why did you have to expose yourself?
Liu Mei didn't spray water, but her whole face turned red.
Xie Lin didn't deliberately lower his voice, so they could all hear what he said.
He would rather say he was born from a stone than acknowledge his biological father, which shows how heartbroken he is.
She despised people who couldn't share hardship but dreamed of getting rich.
Only when the family falls on hard times do they remember the forgotten person, and when they see the other person doing well, they can't wait to cling to them. How wishful they are.
Xie Lin already knew that there were six little guys squatting by the wall next door eavesdropping, and he couldn't help but smile at her adorable behavior.
"Did you hear that? My dad and your dads are not the same person."
"Xie Lin, you've known all along that we're siblings, is it really necessary to do this?"
Even the dumbest person could tell from that obvious dog-walking gesture.
Xie Miao's explosive temper was truly unbearable.
If her sister-in-law hadn't stopped her from waiting for her older brother to come back, she would have come over and recognized Xie Lin long ago.
She is the younger sister, so as the older brother, I should take care of her and help her achieve a bright future.
She saw Lu's eldest grandson come over that day, and only after asking did she find out that he was Xie Lin's good brother.
She was of marriageable age and had long admired the Lu family's wealth.
Since they are acquaintances, it's good to keep things in the family. As the elder brother, he lends a hand by acting as matchmaker for himself and Lu Fan, helping them to achieve a happy marriage, which is also a help to him.
This is a win-win situation for both of us.
I never expected him to be so ungrateful.
Hmph, once I win over Lu Fan and have the Lu family as my backer, who will care about him?
Xie Lin scoffed, "If I'm not mistaken, this is my home, and I didn't invite you here, so..."
So isn't this you yourselves, eagerly coming to be humiliated?
"Uncle, Dad had his own reasons back then. There's no such thing as a family holding a grudge overnight. After all these years, why hold onto any resentment? Wouldn't it be better for the family to live in harmony?"
