Chapter 35 Bringing the Handsome Brother Home for Dinner
Zhizhi fell down with a thud!
Zhizhi rolled up like a ball of yarn and stood up!
Sang Zhizhi looked over curiously. The young man was holding a black stick and had a silk ribbon covering his eyes.
"Mud, are you blind?"
She slowly got up from the ground, carefully brushed the dust off her coat, and asked, sobbing, "You gave me all the candy, so what are you going to eat?"
"If I do something wrong, I should be punished by not being able to eat candy."
The boy smiled gently, followed the sound to Xiao Zhizhi's hand, and gently placed the candy in her hand.
"These are chocolates that my aunt brought back for me from abroad. If you like them, I'll bring you more next time we meet. Promise me you won't cry, okay?"
Zhizhi stared blankly at the beautifully packaged candy in her hand.
The older brother is handsome and speaks kindly, but it's a pity he can't see.
As they were talking, an old woman hurriedly came from the alley entrance.
"Yuan Hui, why are you running around again? Didn't I tell you to stand properly at the door?"
The old woman hurried over to the older boy and reached out to tug at his clothes. "Go, go, don't play with the children. You can't see anyway, and if you bump into something, the former political commissar will scold me again."
Is Yuan Hui the name of the handsome older brother?
Sang Zhizhi was about to exclaim how nice the name was when she saw her older brother being dragged and pulled outside by this woman.
Yuan Hui wasn't annoyed that her clothes were torn askew; she just looked disappointed. "Auntie, I accidentally bumped into the little girl. Please let me say a few words to her before you leave."
The old woman glanced at Sang Zhizhi with a snobbish look, her expression revealing an indescribable, subtle disdain.
"Ah... ...Commander Jiang's child? Well, say less, we need to get back quickly."
"Okay, I understand."
Children are very sensitive, and Zhizhi could tell at a glance that this aunt didn't like her very much. The aunt kept mentioning her father's position, and she clearly looked like someone who fawned over the powerful and looked down on the weak.
Sang Zhizhi took the older brother's hand and asked in a childish voice, "Pretty brother, has she always forbidden you from going out to play?"
Yuan Hui smiled gently, "You mean Aunt Qin? She's the nanny Dad hired for me. Because I'm blind, Aunt Qin never allows me to come out and play with the children. Today, Dad asked me to go out for some fresh air, but I didn't expect that as soon as I stepped out, I would still cause trouble and bump into you."
His parents are both busy with work, and Aunt Qin has taken care of him for many years with the same attitude, so he has gotten used to it.
But this little one sounds so angry.
She probably couldn't stand by and watch, and was standing up for herself.
Yuan Hui felt the warmth of being cared for, a feeling he had never experienced with his parents.
So he took the initiative and asked, "My name is Yuan Hui, what's yours?"
“Gardenia, mulberry gardenia.”
Little Zhizhi had a very good impression of this gentle older brother. She smiled and raised her little head: "My family has a TV. You can come to my house to watch TV in the future. Other people won't play with you, but I will, okay?"
"Really? You'd like to be friends with me?"
"Mmm! Zhizhi's family has lots of delicious food. I'll share it with you when my brother comes!"
Remembering that her mother had prepared a meal and was waiting for her at home, Sang Zhizhi suddenly leaned forward and whispered, "Brother, have you eaten? My mom made delicious green pepper and egg noodles today. Do you want to come home with me?"
"Aunt Qin... ...wouldn't you want me to eat at someone else's house? I don't want to trouble you."
Xiao Zhizhi blinked in confusion, "You're the first friend I made at the military dependents' home, how could it be troublesome?"
She could tell that Yuan Hui was also interested in going, so she simply took his hand and led him home.
"It's nothing, just a meal."
Yuan Hui felt a slight stirring in his heart. He had always envied the children in the compound for their good relationship and frequent visits for meals, because he had never had such an experience.
"Alright then... Thank you, Zhizhi."

Jiang Family
"—Zhizhi, is this your new friend?"
Just as Deng Qiu was cooking the noodles, he heard Gan Su run back and say that he had encountered the former political commissar's child on the way.
I never expected my daughter to be so clever; she actually brought someone back with her.
It's a good thing for children to make friends. Deng Qiu smiled and placed a bowl of shredded pork noodles in front of Yuan Hui.
"Xiao Yuanhui, Auntie was in a rush today and didn't have time to make any other dishes, so I only have green pepper and egg noodles. Try it and see if you like it."
Yuan Hui put down her guide cane, looking a little awkward. "Thank you, Auntie. I'm not a picky eater."
My mother is busy with performances by the military troupe and rarely comes home.
Aunt Qin cooks steamed buns and noodles every day. He's been used to eating whatever he's given since he was little, and he's already very happy to be able to eat at his good friend's house now, so he won't be picky at all.
"Eat up, eat up! My mom's noodles are so delicious, don't you think, brother?"
Gan Su, holding the soup bowl, nodded in agreement, "Yuan Hui, my mom's cooking is really delicious. You'll know once you try it."
The way the young boss addressed himself had changed.
This caused the entire family present to change their expressions.
Sang Zhizhi's mouth turned into an "O" shape in surprise, like a goldfish's mouth.
Big brother changed his tune?!
Does this mean the older brother has truly accepted his mother from the bottom of his heart?
Deng Qiu was equally shocked, "Gan Su..."
Jiang Gansu's face turned as red as if it were burning. His childish stubbornness made him unwilling to explain too much, and he just buried his head in his rice bowl, afraid of seeing the probing gazes of his family members.
It's just a change of address...
Zhenwei has already changed his tune; why are they looking at him like that?
There were outsiders present, and I didn't want to let Aunt Deng down, so I just said that casually.
It's not a big deal...
Jiang Anchao was the first to react, unable to stop smiling, "Yes, yes, even Gan Su is praising his mother's cooking so much, let's eat."
"tasty!"
Yuan Hui clumsily used chopsticks to put the noodles into his mouth. The moment his mouth touched the springy and chewy noodles, the fragrant aroma of green peppers and eggs filled the air.
When Deng Qiu stir-fries vegetables, she adds chopped green onions and garlic slices to enhance the aroma, so even simple dishes have a strong braised flavor.
Yuan Hui had never seen noodles made so delicious before. His appetite was whetted, and he finished the entire bowl of noodles.
"Aunt Deng's cooking skills are much better than those of the chefs in Jingzhou."
Deng Qiu quickly got up and served him a second bowl.
Yuan Hui was a little embarrassed. "Aunt Deng, I won't have a second bowl. It's too much trouble."
Although he was blind, he could tell that Aunt Deng was an extremely gentle and virtuous woman. The atmosphere in Zhizhi's family was really good, and the house was lively and bustling.
They've already gone through enough trouble taking care of a blind person like me, so I shouldn't be too greedy and leave a bad impression on my uncle and aunt.
"Boys have big appetites. Gan Su has already eaten his third bowl. Xiao Yuan Hui, don't be shy. Auntie loves children the most. You need to eat well to have the energy to play."
Deng Qiu added another bowl for him and even helped him hold the chopsticks and find the right position for the bowl.
Yuan Hui was so moved that the roots of her ears turned red.
This warm atmosphere didn't last long, because suddenly the courtyard gate was pushed open.
"I told you Yuan Hui was here! He's so irresponsible, always running around. It's not my fault for not keeping a close eye on him!"
