Lu Shuxin's matter has little to do with Yu Yin, but Yu's older brother, who is about to return, is somewhat related to Yu Yin.
Over the past year, my parents have been busy with work and haven't had many opportunities to meet.
As batches of educated youth came down to the countryside with Yu's father, Yu's mother also had a lot of work at the hospital, and when she was busy, she couldn't even take care of Yu Kang. Many times, Yu Kang would just mooch off Yu Yin for a living.
Whenever there's a long holiday, Yu Kang would come over to help Lu Shurui take care of the children. Yu Kang was quite a good uncle, playing with his nephew and niece so happily that all the fruit in the yard ended up in their stomachs.
Now that school has started, Yu Kang has gone back to his own home. Ping An and An An are also sent to daycare, along with Chu Chen from next door. The three of them are unstoppable at daycare, and their parents are frequently called in. Yu Yin is helpless; Ping Ping is a little better, but An An is really naughty and likes to fight.
That's life, isn't it? There are pleasant things and troublesome things. The clatter of pots and pans creates its own symphony!
"Yu Yin, are you home?"
"I'm here, Mom. What brings you here at this hour?"
“Your older brother sent a telegram; they’ve set off. If the train isn’t delayed, we’ll see them soon. I’ve been missing Anze and Anna. You know, last time we met, they barely recognized me and your dad; it took them a while to get used to each other. Not seeing each other for so long has made us distant. This time, it’s good; your brother can stay longer…”
Yu's mother kept talking about her son, grandson, and granddaughter, saying they were truly her precious darlings. Yu Yin thought to herself, "My twins live so close by, but I've never seen you come over that often, nor have I seen you show any particular fondness for them. Yet you just keep talking about your grandchildren."
Yu Yin was used to the adults' favoritism and didn't care. She just secretly vowed to herself that she would never let Ping An and An An experience anything like that. She and Lu Shurui needed to make sure their children felt equal love from both parents and grew up in a loving environment. They wanted them to enjoy love, learn to love, and have the capacity to give and receive love.
"Alright, you came all this way so late, you didn't just come to tell me how cute your grandchildren are, did you?"
Yu's mother looked a little awkward when interrupted. However, Yu Yin was no longer the quiet and reserved girl she used to be; sometimes, even her mother was a bit intimidated by her. Especially after the last time, when Yu Yin rattled off her grievances, Yu's mother felt guilty and became even less inclined to visit Yu Yin.
"Well, your brother was able to come back this time because he was injured at work and needs to recover. I wanted to ask you if you could ask Ah Xiang to buy some chickens for your brother to take care of his health."
"Where are you injured? Is it an internal injury?"
"No, your sister-in-law said she injured her arm. During production supervision, a worker made a mistake and accidentally injured two engineers, including your brother. The factory leaders granted him a long leave so he could go home, visit his family, and rest his arm."
"Work injury? That's quite an honor."
Yu Yin's feelings for her older brother were indifferent. Firstly, there was a significant age gap; she and her younger brother had grown up together. Secondly, they had separated after they were teenagers, so they had fewer opportunities to meet. Furthermore, the original owner of this body was rather introverted and would not take the initiative to contact her older brother. She would simply do things quietly, sending him dried fruit, dried bamboo shoots, and children's clothes every year.
"Who says otherwise? You haven't said yet whether you can buy chicks or not."
"Hmm, I'll ask Ah Xiang later, it should be fine. How many do you want to order, and how much per piece are you willing to pay?"
Yu Yin had no intention of not accepting money; she wasn't that generous. Besides, her mother was wealthy and generous to her eldest son and grandson.
"As long as we have them, money is not a problem. We can buy chicks now, so we're not lacking anything. I'll give you thirty yuan first, and I'll get you more if it's not enough. Order more."
Yu Yin accepted the money without hesitation. Her little stash of money had grown again. She hoped her brother would stay longer and eat more chicken, so she could earn some extra cash. Ideally, her older sister would also come back, so her mother could buy chicken for her eldest daughter.
She then gave Yu Yin some more instructions, asking her to leave some fruit for An Ze and the others before returning home.
"Mom came for something, why did she leave so soon?"
Lu Shurui had just finished bathing the children and hadn't even had a chance to greet his mother-in-law. He was still somewhat afraid of his mother; the shadow she cast on him was too deep to be easily erased.
“My older brother’s family is coming back, and my mom asked me if I could buy a few chickens from Ah Xiang. My brother injured his arm and needs to rest.”
Is it serious?
"It shouldn't be serious, otherwise he wouldn't have traveled all that way to come back on vacation."
Lu Shurui didn't know much about Brother Yu, and Yu Yin rarely mentioned him, talking most about Brother Yu.
"The child has finished bathing and getting ready for bed. We have to go to work tomorrow."
Lu Shurui now teaches eighth grade, which is quite demanding, equivalent to a graduating class in later years. Some students are preparing for vocational school entrance exams, while others are preparing for high school entrance exams. With so much effort required, he can't give his family as much time to care for her. He can only work extra after get off work to lighten Yu Yin's burden and allow her to rest more.
When Brother Yu and his group arrived, Yu Yin and the others were still at work, so their father sent someone to pick them up.
"Second sister, Mom wants you to come home for dinner tonight. Eldest brother and the others have arrived."
"I know, but why are you coming during class time? Can't you come during your lunch break?"
"Hehe, this is a rare opportunity to skip class openly and legitimately, how could I let this chance pass me by?"
Yu Kang was afraid that his second sister would punish him, so he ran away after saying that.
After getting off work, Yu Yin and her husband changed the twins' clothes, picked a basket of fruit, and then took the children to her parents' home.
"Brother, sister-in-law, this is Lu Shurui."
When Yu Yin saw her brother and sister-in-law, she introduced them to her husband.
