Back in their room that evening, Yu Rujia asked curiously, "Why weren't you beaten up?"
Of the four members of the Jing generation here, only three were beaten. The culprit, Xia Jingshu, got away scot-free. Does this mean that in the minds of these kids, Xia Jingshu is the only elder among the Jing generation?
If that's the case, then Xia Jingsheng and Xia Jingfan, these two unfortunate brothers, are truly wronged.
Xia Jingshu looked betrayed and said, "It's all thanks to Duoyi that you gave me. They didn't hit me when they saw me holding him."
Yu Rujia: "Hey, these kids are pretty careful with their hitting. They were worried about hurting Duoyi, so they let you off the hook."
Duolu and the others did act with discretion. Apart from the first day, they beat Xia Jingxing for several more days, causing him to develop a conditioned reflex to see the children.
When Duofu returned and learned about this, he beat Xia Jingxing up, and that was the end of it.
After the others found out that Duoyi was a boy, they were not as warm and welcoming to him as before.
In the past, when teaching Duoyi, I always adhered to the principle of taking it slowly, setting a daily quota so that Duoyi could learn something without feeling tired.
Now everyone has given him extra lessons: Duofu for literacy and arithmetic, Duolu for martial arts, Duoshou for pharmacology, and Duoxi for cooking. They have arranged a full schedule of lessons for Duoyi, enough for him to work from morning till night.
Dorjee and Dorjee couldn't compete with their older brothers in terms of talent, so they took on the job of supervising Dorjee's homework every day.
The three-year-old little dumpling truly felt the 'love' of her older brothers.
To comfort Duo Yi, Yu Rujia slept with him for a few days.
Xia Jingshu couldn't stand it anymore and had a private conversation with Duoyi, the little dumpling, after which the little guy went back to his room and slept with Duoshou.
Each of the children in the family has their own room, and Duoyi also has his own room, but he is too young to sleep alone.
Yu Rujia was also worried about Duoyi, who was two or three years old at the time, sleeping alone, so he let him find an older brother to sleep with him.
After a fierce competition among the older brothers, the incredibly clever Duoshou emerged victorious and became Duoyi's partner.
Duoshou is the most reliable child besides Duofu. When Duofu is away, the task of looking after the brothers at home is entrusted to him.
Duo Yi wanted to sleep with him, and Yu Rujia and the others naturally had no problem with it, so they have been sleeping together ever since.
During summer vacation, a group of children went hunting in the mountains with steamed buns and flower rolls.
The weather is hot now, and the game they hunted can't be left to be processed until the next day, so they didn't go hunting in Ji Village, which is over a hundred kilometers away.
They also hunted animals forty or fifty kilometers outside the capital. They would go hunting and return on the same day, process the game, and put it in an ice bucket.
After making braised meat for only a few days, Xia Jingxing brought back several large pots.
With several pots running at once, hundreds of kilograms of meat can be braised at once.
The kids braised meat the next morning, and then set up their stall in the afternoon, watching when people were leaving get off work.
The kids were quite strong, and at first, some fools who messed with them got a good beating and then stopped bothering them.
This is the capital city after all; minor skirmishes are inevitable, but there's no such thing as a major villainous group.
They used force to intimidate those who harbored ill intentions towards them, and their braised meat successfully attracted the appetites of people in the surrounding area. If they didn't see them setting up their stall for a few days, people would complain.
They went to set up their stall as usual that day when suddenly a woman exclaimed in surprise, "Are you Duoshou Duolu?"
Before the twins could reply, a helpful customer nearby said, "That's their name. You should come here to buy braised meat; their braised meat is the best."
It has been half a year since the Xia family first set up their stall, and the popularity of their braised meat is evident to all. Some quick-thinking people have even gone back home to study how to make braised meat.
Many people outside are selling it now, but in terms of taste, it's far inferior to the Xia family's.
The customer assumed the woman was responding that way to confirm that she had bought an authentic product.
However, the woman unexpectedly said, "I am Jia Ruifang, your biological mother, do you remember me?"
The woman's name is Jia Ruifang, and she is indeed the twins' biological mother.
When the Xia family got into trouble, in order to prove that she had severed ties with the Xia family, she abandoned her one-year-old twins to Xia Jingfan.
If Yu Rujia hadn't arrived in time, the twins would have lost their lives a few days later, and Xia Jingfan would have begun living a life of utter despair, passing away not long after being sent down to the countryside.
After leaving the Xia family, Jia Ruifang found another man and had a son and a daughter with him.
A couple of days ago, I heard a man say that the braised meat here is delicious and very popular. He said that if they could make this braised meat, they would definitely make a lot of money.
When Jia Ruifang heard that the stall was run by several children, she thought she would come over and see if she could trick Fang Zi into giving her a chance. She never expected to see her ex-husband's face at the stall.
Based on the twins' resemblance, she guessed that these were her children, and her heart immediately filled with joy.
The children setting up the stall paused, all looking towards Jia Ruifang, where they saw a woman about the same age as Han Meifeng.
Han Meifeng had internal energy protecting her body, so she didn't suffer much in the Shangfen Brigade. After returning, she often used Jingyan soap, making her look more than ten years younger than other women her age.
Jia Ruifang's family was of average means. It was only because the Xia family didn't pay much attention to matching social status that Jia Ruifang seduced the young Xia Jingfan and was able to marry into the Xia family.
Her second marriage was also not her first, and he had two children. She humbled herself for two or three years after marrying him before her current family accepted her.
She had to take care of her parents-in-law and stepchildren, and she never had a moment's rest, so she aged very quickly.
She looks several years older than her peers.
One was more than ten years younger than his actual age, and the other was a few years older than his actual age. The two people, who were nearly twenty years apart in age, looked the same age as each other.
Duo Shou coldly replied, "Comrade, please have some self-respect. Even if you say that, we will not give you the meat."
Jia Ruifang feigned anger and said, "You're so young and you're already setting up a stall on your own. Does the Xia family not care about you anymore?"
“If they don’t want you, I will. Pack your bags and come home with me. I definitely won’t let you suffer like this.”
What a load of rubbish! All the money they make is theirs. Which family is as generous as the Xia family, letting their child carry over a thousand yuan?
In other people's homes, people their age would be lucky to have a few dozen yuan on them.
Doro instinctively disliked this woman and clenched his fist: "If you dare to disturb our stall again, don't blame us for being impolite."
Seeing that its little owner was unhappy, the steamed buns guarding the meat stall started barking fiercely at Jia Ruifang, scaring her back a few steps.
