"Go play outside!"
As they were talking, Bai Yejin stepped forward and took the spoon from Lin Xiuxiu's hand. Lin Xiuxiu made a face at Lin Yifeng, then grabbed Bai Yejin's clothes and said coquettishly, "My sister-in-law is still the best to me."
"Sister-in-law, can you live with us from now on? That way, my naughty brother won't dare to bully me every day!"
Lin Xiuxiu kept calling her "sister-in-law," which made Bai Yejin very happy. Bai Yejin took the spoon, took out 50 cents from her pocket, and stuffed it into Lin Xiuxiu's hand with a smile: "Okay, if I stay at your house, Xiuxiu, will you get annoyed with me?"
"No way, I love my sister-in-law the most!"
Lin Xiuxiu's eyes lit up when she saw the 50 cents. She took the money and guarded Lin Yifeng like a thief, then ran like the wind to the kitchen door.
"Sister-in-law, I'll go buy you some candy!"
After saying that, Lin Xiuxiu took off running outside and disappeared in front of Lin Yifeng and the other two at the speed of light.
"It's so nice to have a little sister, Xiuxiu is so cute!"
Bai Yejin sighed. She only had one younger brother, no younger sister. Her brother was very tough and not as cute as her sister at all.
"You just spoil her!"
Lin Yifeng glared at Bai Yejin: "Giving her 5 cents is one thing, but giving her 50 cents is quite another."
She's only nine years old, and you're giving her so much money.
"Lin Yifeng!"
Bai Yejin's eyes curved into crescent moons!
"Xiuxiu calls me sister-in-law!"
"As the eldest sister-in-law, I should give Xiuxiu a small red envelope."
Lin Yifeng was stunned for a moment. He wanted to say something, but then he heard Zhou Xuelan cough twice.
"Hey, get out, get out!"
"They've all gone out!"
"You're not allowed in while I'm cooking!"
Bai Yejin had completely forgotten that Zhou Xuelan was beside her. She quickly pushed Lin Yifeng and Zhou Xuelan out of the kitchen, then leaned against the kitchen door and touched her face.
It's very hot, extremely hot.
Bai Yejin placed her hand on her chest again and found that her heart was pounding wildly.
She actually said something like that.
What's the difference between what she said and a confession?
Bai Yejin's mind was wandering when she heard the lid of the pot on the stove being lifted, and the boiling porridge splashed out, making the stove fire sizzle.
"Oh dear, I've sold the pot!"
......
Five cents can buy a lot of things.
Lin Xiuxiu bought Tang Monk's flesh, pagoda-shaped sugar, and four bags of ice water. She skipped back and met Lin Jinshui and Feng Cuie at the door.
What are you holding in your hand?
Feng Cuie, with her sharp eyes, noticed that Lin Xiuxiu was holding a lot of things in her hands. Lin Xiuxiu's happy face instantly fell. She timidly put her hands behind her back, shrank her head, and looked at Feng Cuie without saying a word.
"Take it out!"
"let me see!"
Feng Cuie raised her voice. Lin Xiuxiu wanted to run home, but when she saw Feng Cuie's gloomy face, she had no choice but to carefully take the things out.
They were all snacks. Feng Cuie's face instantly turned icy cold. She rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward to beat up Lin Xiuxiu.
“I didn’t steal the money. My sister-in-law gave it to me. She said she liked me and gave me the money to buy snacks.”
It's not uncommon for rural children to steal money. In Paishitou Village, every few days, a scene unfolds where children are beaten by their parents for stealing money.
Lin Xiuxiu was very clever and immediately saw what Feng Cuie was thinking. She immediately and honestly explained where the money came from, stopping Feng Cuie's urge to hit her.
"Is that Xiao Jin?"
There is only one sister-in-law, and that is Bai Yejin!
Since the eldest sister-in-law has been brought out, she shouldn't be beaten anymore.
But Feng Cuie still came to Lin Xiuxiu's side with a gloomy face and scolded, "Didn't I tell you to cook? Why did you go to buy snacks?"
"Are you going to cook for me without watching the pot? Are you just going to wait for me to come home from get off work?"
If a 9-year-old child in a rural area still can't cook, there's only one possibility.
They're either mentally unstable or spoiled.
Obviously, in this era, children in the city may be spoiled, but those in the countryside will never be. Although Lin Xiuxiu is only 9 years old, she is already half an adult in the family, and she cooks most of the meals at home.
"My sister-in-law took my spoon; she's cooking!"
Lin Xiuxiu pouted, looking very aggrieved. As she spoke, large tears began to fall.
Before Feng Cuie could say anything more, Lin Yifeng suddenly came out of the kitchen. He called out to his parents with a smile, "Stop scolding Xiuxiu. Xiao Jin gave Xiuxiu money to buy some food."
"Second brother!"
As Lin Yifeng spoke, he waved to his second brother, who was standing behind Lin Jinshui and Lin Xiuxiu, looking gloating.
"You're actually gloating."
As your older brother, I was originally going to give you 50 cents so you could buy snacks.
“But the way you’re gloating right now makes me decide to deduct 2 cents from your pay.”
Lin Yifeng took out three cents from his pocket and waved it at his second brother, Lin Chongfeng. Lin Chongfeng's eyes widened. He quickly bypassed Lin Xiuxiu, Lin Jinshui, and Feng Cuie and rushed to Lin Yifeng's side, his face full of flattery: "Brother, brother!"
"No!"
"I wasn't gloating just now, I was feeling sympathy, sympathy!"
"Brother, give me fifty cents, don't deduct the two cents."
The second son, Lin Chongfeng, was 14 years old. He dropped out of school before finishing primary school and followed Lin Jinshui and Feng Cuie to work in the fields and carry stones in the mountains every day. He almost took over the schooling of Lin Yifeng and became the little pillar of the family.
Lin Chongfeng had little status at home and therefore little pocket money; five cents was a huge sum for him.
