In autumn, the weather grew colder, and the cuffs and trouser legs of the little girl's old cotton shirt were stretched out, covering her hands and legs tightly.
But the third button of the collar was open, almost exposing her flat chest.
Having seen too much negative news on the modern Internet, Jiang Henian had many bad ideas flashing through his mind.
She maintained a faint smile on her face, "Shuangxi, why aren't your clothes buttoned properly? Aren't you cold?"
Lin Shuangxi looked down at his collar, frowned, and showed an expression of resistance, but his hands quickly buttoned up his collar.
It seems that I was overthinking it. Maybe I didn't pay attention to the child's clothes.
Jiang Henian touched her shoulder and was about to give her some advice when someone came over.
"Double happiness!"
Lin Shuangxi, who was originally stunned, suddenly had his eyes brightened!
He stood up quickly, dragged a basket full of pig feed, and ran to Lin Shi.
She stood on tiptoe and stretched out her hands under her brother's nose as if offering a treasure.
Lin Shi has a thin figure and regular features. As a young man, he is much taller than his 9-year-old sister.
Jiang Henian sat there and saw the two of them talking about something. Suddenly, Lin Shi came back holding Lin Shuangxi's hand.
He stretched out his hand directly towards Jiang Henian, with the White Rabbit milk candy in his palm.
Is this a rejection?
"This is something your sister left for you."
Lin Shi didn't move, "I can't take it back."
There was a hint of nervousness and tension on the boy's dark and thin face, and his tone was stiff.
Lin Shi had never seen this kind of milk candy before, but it was obvious that it was a precious food and they could not accept it.
Young boys who have shouldered the burden of supporting their families since childhood are more cautious than anyone else when faced with temptations that are beyond their ability to bear.
"This is a thank you gift."
Jiang Henian stood up from the grass with the help of a wooden crutch. "I asked Shuangxi to help me cut a full basket of pig grass before. It wasn't for free."
Lin Shi looked down at his sister, who nodded heavily, her messy hair, which was neither too short nor too long, shaking.
"A basket of pig grass isn't worth this."
So stubborn.
Jiang Henian tilted his head to look at the bundle of firewood on the ground, pointed at one of the sticks and said, "Then I'll give you another stick."
"Break it for me. Make it this long. Then shave it nicely. Polish this one too. It hurts my hand..."
She gestured and made a bunch of requests, nodding her chin towards the candy in his hand.
"Is it possible? I don't have the habit of letting people work for free. If it works, I will come to you again in the future."
Lin Shuangxi also grabbed his brother's clothes and shook them gently.
Lin Shi finally retracted the candy, put it in his pocket, took off the hatchet hanging from his waist, and carefully customized a walking stick for Jiang Henian according to his requirements.
Two small figures, one tall and one short, one dragging firewood and the other carrying pig feed, walked towards the hillside in unison as the sun set.
Jiang Henian withdrew his envious gaze and touched the two smooth and handy crutches, one long and one short, with satisfaction.
Leaning on the shorter one, he turned around and continued walking towards the field.
It has been delayed for a while. I don’t know how He Jinshan is doing. Before she went on patrol, they collected half of it.
His legs were not working well, so he had to work harder. Otherwise, the two of them wouldn't even get eight work points, and they would become the laughing stock of the whole village.
It's nothing that she is used to being laughed at. How could someone like He Jinshan be looked down upon?
When Jiang Henian limped back to the wheat field, he found that the entire field had almost been harvested.
An unfamiliar figure squatted at the end, swinging his sickle.
"Brother Shan! I wasn't kidding you, I can finish this small area in less than half an hour. I'll come help you when I'm done. You can rest for a while."
Chen Erhu wiped his sweat casually and turned around to find that He Jinshan, who was sitting on the ridge of the field just now, was gone.
Where is my brother Shan?
He straightened up and looked back.
I don't know when his brother Shan ran ahead, why is he standing there? It hurts his legs so much!
When I looked again, I saw a petite girl standing in front of Brother Shan!
He Jinshan grabbed Jiang Henian's arm and looked down at her with a frown.
"What's going on?"
Jiang Henian scratched his head awkwardly, looked up and said, "Uncle, we have the same walking style now, haha."
Didn’t Brother Shan just break off the engagement? Whose family is this girl from?
You are worthy of being my brother Shan!
I have a new sister-in-law so soon!
Chen Erhu's gossipy spirit was burning, and he held the sickle in front of his face. The dog tiptoed forward stealthily, wanting to see his face clearly and eavesdrop at the same time.
Unexpectedly, his brother Shan just said, "Erhu, collect it," and left with the little girl in his hand without looking back.
The two people's figures from behind were very different, yet they were strangely harmonious. Even their walking postures were surprisingly consistent, limping...
No, it seems like my brother Shan’s legs are getting smoother and smoother when he walks?
You are worthy of being my brother Shan!
A man of steel!
＊
"sit down."
It is also a very good Tibetan cornfield.
Jiang Henian sat down with his right leg hanging, baring his teeth and hissing, completely losing the calmness he had outside.
It takes nerves of steel to walk such a long distance, and it hurts so much!
He Jinshan half-knelt down, took off her shoes without saying a word, and held her swollen ankle in his palm.
When a man has a frown on his face and a cold expression, he is the real murderer.
Jiang Henian's original intention of trying to lighten the atmosphere with a clever joke was thwarted. He just frowned and endured the pain, not daring to even breathe loudly.
"Dislocated."
As soon as He Jinshan finished speaking, he covered her feet with both hands and was about to use force, but was stopped by Jiang Henian.
“Wait, wait!!”
The man raised his eyelids slightly, with an expression that said, "If you have something to say, say it quickly, don't delay me from getting my bones straightened."
