Cheng Zhenbao's mouth twitched slightly. That wasn't what his father had said before he came. He'd said the child should go back to where he came from. Even if the child had no parents, there were still other relatives willing to take care of him for five yuan. But his daughter wouldn't even take care of him for fifty yuan a month, let alone five...
"Okay, let's leave it at that. Zhenzhu has her own plan." The head of the family, Zhao Fangrui, spoke.
Cheng Zhenyu glanced at her eldest sister and her parents and said nothing. Since her parents didn't worry about it anyway, why should she worry about it?
Seeing that grandma and grandpa allowed Liu Tiao to stay, Yi Tiao was very happy. Mom told grandma and grandpa to say more good things about his brother, and after they said just one sentence, grandma and grandpa agreed...
"Aunt, brother Xiaohu is still sleeping?" Peng Ertiao looked at the little tiger lying in his aunt's arms, looking around.
When he saw Brother Xiaohu sleeping, he didn't even shout loudly.
"Yeah, he's asleep. Your brother Xiaohu didn't sleep much in the car." Wang Xiaomei said with a smile.
"Xiaomei, put Xiaohu on the bed." Cheng Zhenzhu opened the door to the back room.
"No need to go to bed, second sister. I want to give Xiaohu a bath first. He smells after sitting in the car for such a long time."
Cheng Zhenzhu: "Then I'll boil some water later."
"Big sister, burn more, so my girls can take a bath too."
Cheng Zhenyu has always been clean, and thinking of the new mattress and quilt her elder sister had given her, she didn't want to dirty the bed.
"Second sister, let me help you light the fire." Wang Xiaomei said.
She just looked and saw that there was a wood stove at home, which required burning wood.
"No need, I'll do it. You guys take a break first." Cheng Zhenzhu invited everyone to the table to drink tea and eat melon seeds.
As soon as he entered the house, his parents took him to his room. He didn't have time to pay attention to anything. He still had to have tea during the New Year.
She had already packed her snack box, filling it with half a pound of sunflower seeds, two handfuls of biscuits, and two handfuls of candy. She also had some dried sweet potatoes and glutinous rice sticks, and even brewed some tea.
With some melon seeds to eat, Cheng Fugui didn't think about leaving for the time being, and went to the table with Liu Tiao in his arms.
Liu Tiao looked at the handful of snacks on the table, his eyes lit up, and his hand immediately reached into the snack box.
Zhao Sanni reached directly into her pockets and took out a handful of snacks. She had seen the snacks on the table before and wanted to join them, but her mother slapped her twice and she was quiet.
"Take as much as you can eat." Cheng Zhenyu hated it most when her little girl took advantage of others. There was nothing at home? Why were you embarrassing yourself here? "I told you to stay home, but you insisted on coming, and now you're not listening? Can you learn from your two older sisters?"
Cheng Zhenyu was somewhat satisfied with her two obedient and sensible daughters. However, she was too timid and hadn't learned even a fraction of her rhetoric skills.
Normally, when she was bullied at home, she didn't dare to say a word, let alone stand up for her. She was just like their dead father.
She was fighting alone in Old Zhao's house!
"Oh." Zhao Sanni pouted and put the thing back a little.
Now grandma is useless. If she doesn’t listen, her mother will punish her!
Zhao Fangrui drank a cup of hot tea, smiled, and waved to Cheng Zhenbao, "Zhenbao, quickly take out the things I prepared for your nephews."
Peng Ertiao pinched the peach cake, glanced at the big bag in his uncle's hand, and asked curiously, "What are these?"
"Delicious and fun." Cheng Zhenbao said.
Several little kids immediately gathered to take a look, with Zhao Sanni squeezing to the front.
The little tiger in Wang Xiaomei's arms moved his ears, opened his eyes slightly, and raised his hand to rub them twice.
"Are you awake? We're at your second aunt's house. Look who this is?" Wang Xiaomei changed the way she held him.
"One brother! Two brothers! And three brothers!" Little Tiger's eyes widened and he slipped out of his mother's arms.
"Brother Xiaohu!" Peng Ertiao grinned and went to pull Xiaohu's hand.
"Second brother!" Little Tiger had just woken up and his voice was still a little soft, but it did not prevent him from expressing his happiness at all.
The two little dolls held hands and spun happily in circles. They also pulled one, three, and two together.
"Slow down, I feel dizzy~" The three little ones were confused and were pulled to fall here and there.
"These brothers are quite close to each other." Zhao Fangrui said with a smile.
"Isn't it? Knowing that we were coming to my second sister's house, Xiaohu refused to sleep in the car, saying that he was afraid that if he fell asleep, he wouldn't be able to see his brothers..."
"One or several, too. I've been thinking about it for a long time." Cheng Zhenzhu took a bowl and made a bowl of hot malted milk for each of the little kids to fill their stomachs. She also took out a bag of peach cakes.
Each of the seven children had a piece of peach cake, and the whole bag was almost finished. Cheng Zhenzhu took out another bag for the adults to eat.
"Sister, these are the two cans of malted milk that mom sent you, right?" Cheng Zhenyu stared at the can of malted milk.
Cheng Zhenzhu nodded.
"These were all obtained by your brother-in-law. Your brother-in-law has connections. Last time, Mom said she wanted to get two cans and send them to you. I told your brother-in-law, and he got them in two weeks."
Cheng Zhenyu stopped eating the peach cake and went to untie the snakeskin bag. "You must be short of supplies here, so I got you another can this time..."
"Thank you, sister and brother-in-law." Cheng Zhenzhu expressed her gratitude.
She knew that although her elder sister was a little arrogant, she had no bad intentions and was more inclined towards her mother's family, so she, the eldest sister who seemed to be not having a good life, became the main target of care.
"I have a supply here, but they eat slowly and haven't finished a whole can yet." So, "Sister, brother-in-law, next time you really don't have to use your connections to help me with this."
She'd already mentioned it in the letter before that. But unexpectedly, her family sent another can. From what she'd heard in the letter, it seemed like her father had gotten it...
"Why are you eating so slowly? Big sister, you don't have to be frugal. If they want to eat it, you can make more soup for them at a time. His uncle, just get a can of malted milk..."
Zhao Jiawang scratched his head. His wife was such a boaster. If only he could be as good as her!
Zhao Sanni stared at the two cans of malted milk in her mother's hands and said unhappily, "Mom, why is there nothing to eat at home?"
Cheng Zhenyu's face froze when Zhao Sanni interrupted her. Why couldn't this talkative person learn from her two older sisters and be more quiet?
Also, when it comes to the matter of malted milk, she gets angry again.
"Do you think you'll have something to eat if you leave it at home? Last time, you drank from the can twice and the can was gone. You better be more careful!
Do you think your grandma really loves you? Her grandchildren are treasures, even your father can't compare to them. You are so stupid, you even complain about your mother to your grandma? How did I end up with such a stupid girl like you?
