Qiao Xiaomeng was overjoyed when he saw the snacks he had bought for him, and there were so many of them. It was as if all the fatigue of the day had been dispelled.
Although he had drunk the water with the magic potion added by Lian'er, he was still very tired every time he carried nearly 300 pounds of timber to a place ten miles away. It felt like all the bones in his body didn't belong to him anymore.
"Lian'er is the best little sister in the world."
Qiao Dameng thought for a moment and then spoke his mind: "We don't have a younger sister. Our eldest and second cousins both have younger sisters. From now on, Lian'er will be our own younger sister."
Qiao Lian'er felt a warmth in her heart from his words.
"What nonsense are you talking about? We're all family, we're all relatives," said Qiao Laosan.
There was no blame in his words, but rather some relief. When they were young, the two brothers had been clamoring for him and Wu to give them a younger sister, since Dayong and Dacheng both had younger sisters, but their wish had never come true.
“Yes, they’re all family, but Lian’er will be even closer to us from now on,” Xiao Meng said.
Qiao Dameng: "We are as close to Lian'er as if she were born of the same parents. It's your fault for not giving us a younger sister. Now that we have Lian'er, we don't want any more younger sisters even if our parents want to have one."
Qiao Laosan rolled his eyes: "Whatever."
Qiao Yunni looked somewhat wistful. Lian'er originally had brothers, but let's not talk about her younger brother. Now that Da Meng and Xiao Meng want to treat her like a younger sister from the third wife's side, it's not impossible.
When she was the older sister, Lian'er did her best for Song Rui'er, always thinking of giving her the best food. Although Song Rui'er would stop her as soon as she found out, she never had any patriarchal ideas. But Lian'er really did nothing wrong to Song Rui'er.
Actually, being a younger sister and being doted on by two older brothers is much better than being an older sister and doting on a younger brother.
Seeing Qiao Dameng and Qiao Xiaomeng's smug expressions, she smiled knowingly.
"By the way, Brother Meng, you still need to grow, so you can't do this kind of hard labor anymore." Qiao Lian'er thought of this.
Da Yong, Da Cheng, and Da Meng are already tall and strong, and their growth has reached its limit. Xiao Meng, on the other hand, still has a lot of room to grow taller.
Qiao Laosan immediately said, "That's right, I was also thinking of going back to talk about this, and that we shouldn't have to do such heavy work in the future."
"No, I want to do my part for this family," Qiao Xiaomeng objected immediately.
"It's not like I can't handle it, so why can't I do it?"
Although he was tired today, he felt happy and fulfilled carrying the load.
"Little Meng, you're already working so hard at such a young age, you won't grow tall. If you're still this short when you're sixteen or seventeen, you won't be able to find a wife," Qiao Lian'er said, trying to scare him.
Qiao Xiaomeng was startled: "Really?"
"Of course it's true. Carrying something this heavy once or twice is fine, but if you carry it too often, it will compress your bones and make them too firm, so they won't grow back up," Qiao Laosan said seriously.
The work used to be much less strenuous, so Qiao Xiaomeng was assigned to it. Now that the boss has recognized the strength of the Qiao family, there will be no shortage of heavy work to do in the future, so Xiaomeng is no longer suitable.
Qiao Xiaomeng fell silent. The snacks in his hand no longer tasted so good. He wanted to earn money for his family, but he was also afraid that he wouldn't be able to find a wife in the future.
“Little Meng can go hunting in the mountains; running around will help him grow stronger,” Qiao Lian’er said.
"Maybe you'll hunt a wild goat or something and earn two or three taels of silver, which is more than you can earn from doing hard labor."
Qiao Xiaomeng's eyes lit up: "Okay, then I'm going to hunt wild roe deer and wild goats."
