Jiang Li was taking care of the children at home. Gusts of cold wind blew into the room through the window, and rain soaked the windowless floor.
Jiang Li felt a little uneasy when he thought about his younger brother rushing to school in such wind and rain. What he feared most was that his younger brother would get wet in the rain, and he was even more afraid that he would have to go to school soaking wet.
This kind of damp coldness will really freeze you to the bone marrow if it sticks to your body.
Goudan lay lazily in the doghouse, not moving at all. Ever since Jiang Li asked him to incubate eggs yesterday, he rarely moved around.
It is a little male dog whose maternal instinct has been aroused. Now it is determined to hatch chicks, otherwise it will not go anywhere.
Jiang Li reached out and touched the two babies' little faces. They were still asleep, and their exposed faces were cold.
Jiang Li reached into the quilt again and touched their little hands and feet. Fortunately, the little bodies in the quilt were still warm.
"Jiang Li, can I come in?"
His uncle's voice came from outside the door, and Jiang Li quickly got up and opened the door.
"Uncle, come in."
Zhang Guocai walked in with a sack and some tools.
"I guess it's getting cold now, and your room won't work without windows. I'll temporarily seal up the windows with sackcloth. It will be a little dark in the room, but it will at least keep out the wind and rain."
"Thank you so much, uncle."
Jiang Li was worried that the babies were too cold and was still thinking about what to do, but he didn't expect that his uncle had already made preparations.
"There's no need to be so polite to family members."
Zhang Guocai had a smile on his face when he spoke to Jiang Li and said you're welcome. In fact, his niece's politeness was a sign of respect for him as her uncle, and Zhang Guocai was very happy.
Zhang Guocai cut the burlap bag in half and nailed the whole thing horizontally to the window. He used two burlap bags in a row to seal the window tightly.
The room, which was already dark due to the rain, suddenly became dim. Goudan, who was hatching chicks diligently, opened his eyelids slightly and looked around curiously.
Jiang Li quickly lit the kerosene lamp on the bedside, and the room was filled with dim light.
Goudan glanced at the sealed window and continued to hatch the chicks with his eyes closed.
It wants to try and see if the little male dog can hatch chicks.
"The windows are sealed, but the light in the house is very poor now. Just bear with it for a few days. When the rain stops, I'll go down the mountain to buy some glass and install all the window frames in the house."
"Uncle, here are 10 yuan. Take it and use it."
My uncle has been helping them with work out of his own pocket during this period of time, and it's really hard work. Jiang Li feels bad about it.
"Uncle has money, you should put it away quickly. Besides, how can an uncle spend his niece's money? Is it okay to tell others about this?"
"Uncle, you don't even charge for the work you do in our house. Not only do you pay for the labor, but you also ask for money in return. How can you let your niece feel at ease?"
Jiang Li insisted on handing over the money, and Zhang Guocai secretly touched his pocket. He had been spending a lot of money during this period and was already short of money.
Glass wasn't cheap, and he wasn't sure he had enough money.
Zhang Guocai felt a little conflicted, but he remained calm on the surface. Jiang Li forced the money into his uncle's hand.
"Uncle, take it. We are family, why are you being so polite?"
After much deliberation, Zhang Guocai finally decided not to try to show off. Since his niece offered it to him, he would just take it.
"Okay, I won't waste this money anyway. I will definitely spend it all on this house when the time comes."
Zhang Guocai's old face flushed, and Jiang Li smiled and said, "My uncle has already said that we are a family, and we should not have different opinions. Just take the money and use it. If it's not enough, tell me."
Zhang Guocai took the money and left Jiang Li's room, closing the door quietly when he left.
The room became much warmer, and Jiang Li touched the second child's little face again.
After a while, the little guy's face was not as cold as before. Jiang Li reached out to touch the eldest brother's face again. The little guy shook his head and hummed with his little mouth.
"Hmm, hmm."
Jiang Li found it amusing and pinched his face gently again. The boss who had just been sleeping with his eyes closed suddenly opened his big, bright black eyes.
"Wow, baby, your eyes are so big, they look so beautiful!"
Jiang Li supported his chin with both hands and looked carefully into the baby's eyes.
The baby has big eyes and very beautiful double eyelids. His eyes twinkle in the dark, and the light shining into his eyes is as bright as two little stars.
The eldest brother blinked at her, then opened his moist little mouth and gave her a sweet smile.
Jiang Li was instantly melted by this little sweetheart, and she felt her heart pounding.
I've seen the TV series before, and the eldest brother grew up to be a handsome guy.
As soon as this thought came into Jiang Li's mind, he couldn't help but think of Shen Changan.
Shen Changan was originally good-looking and had good genes, so the children he gave birth to would naturally not be bad.
For a moment, Jiang Li even felt a little fortunate. Although the original owner lived a miserable life, she had a good eye for men.
Compared to some ugly guys, Shen Changan is good-looking and smart.
Jiang Li was thinking happily in her heart, and then she quickly woke up. What was she thinking about? Did she have anything to do with Shen Changan?
Two people who are not from the same world will not be happy even if they are forced to be together.
It is enough to have children and younger brothers and sisters to accompany her in this life. As for whether a man is a man or not, it is really not that important to her.
…
His sister told him that although almost everyone in Jiangjia Village knew about her, he should not talk about her private affairs outside, especially at school.
Jiang Li almost emphasized to him that he should not tell your teacher Shen.
Just because Jiang Li didn't want to make his words too obvious, he adopted a roundabout way to save the country, but he didn't expect that he would accidentally say it out.
Jiang Yi realized that he had let the cat out of the bag, so he quickly covered his mouth and was so shocked that he didn't dare to continue for a long time.
"Is your sister 20 years old?"
Jiang Yi shook his head. His sister was only 19 years old after the Chinese New Year this year, and was actually not much older than him.
"Your sister isn't even 20 yet and already has two children? Was it an arranged marriage, so your sister got married too young, or is there some other reason?"
Shen Changan's questions became more and more detailed. Jiang Yi felt cold just now, but now his back was soaked with heat. He shook his head, not knowing how to answer.
If he continued talking, it would involve his sister's secret, but Jiang Yi couldn't lie to his favorite teacher Shen, so he chose to remain silent.
"You're not saying anything, so you mean this question is difficult to answer? Did your sister's husband die after she got married, or was your sister pregnant before marriage in the first place?"
