The whole family arrived the next day; there were quite a few people, all having heard that their little sister had returned.
"Little sister, it's been so many years, we almost didn't recognize you."
"That's right. Back then, it was thanks to you that we were able to reunite as a family."
"Second brother, I also missed home back then."
"My younger sister values family ties and cares deeply about her family. Since you're back this time, stay a little longer and don't go back so soon."
“My husband and I plan to stay longer, but I have other chores to do at home, and the children will have to go back first.”
"The land at home still needs to be farmed, and the children still need to go to school."
"Your children are all destined for great things, they're so spirited."
"Big brother, second brother, I won't argue with you about what you're saying. You're both right. Jianjun is indeed the most capable."
Guo's sister-in-law, who was standing next to her, was a little unhappy. No matter where they went, whether it was to her grandparents' house or her maternal grandparents' house, she always praised Jianjun.
They're all her children; isn't this a bit biased?
Brother Guo also shook his head slightly. Jianjun's family is indeed outstanding. Anyone can see that. Is there any need to say more?
They're all family. If Jianjun is doing well, we can't just watch them suffer.
You have to admit that Brother Guo is very insightful; that's definitely the truth.
"We also brought quite a lot of things, all for you."
Everyone was quite happy to hear that they had brought a lot of things, but once they opened them, the scene fell silent.
"Little sister, this is too much stuff. You've already come all this way, and you've brought so much food. We can't let you go without food and drink."
"I'm not thinking about staying longer, plus I don't know when I'll be back next time."
"So bring as much stuff as you can, it's been decades since we last saw each other."
Everyone thought the younger sister was just trying to comfort them by saying she was doing well, but they didn't expect her to bring out so many things. If you said they were food, that would be one thing.
These scarves and leather shoes are things you can't buy even if you want to; they're only available in big cities.
One has to admit that my younger sister's family is doing quite well.
A few days later, Jianjun and his two brothers prepared to go back. If their parents were planning to go to their grandparents' house, they could ask them to help send them there.
This put their minds at ease. Brother Guo and Brother Guo were worried about the land at home and were afraid of delaying the planting season.
"Big brother, second brother, Tingting and I have discussed it, and we've decided not to farm this land for the time being."
“If we don’t plant, what will you eat and drink? This is a big deal, especially since you still have seven children.”
"That's right, eldest brother, second brother. We found a job in the city a while ago and they asked us to help out."
“If we can make money, we’ll ask you two, eldest and second brothers, to help us.”
"Big brother, second brother, if you're interested in planting on this land, you should go ahead and plant it first."
"Give us some money or food when the time comes."
Brother Guo and Brother Guo were still a little hesitant. After all, you have to think about it now. Jianjun has so many children in his family. They were really worried about what he would eat.
If all else fails, they'll help cultivate this land, and then give it all to Jianjun and the others. Jianjun has always treated them well; one shouldn't forget their roots.
They are brothers, that's true, but kindness begets kindness, and Jianjun has helped them a lot over the years.
They simply couldn't bear to take advantage of the situation.
“Jianjun, listen to your older brother. This is what we’re thinking: you guys go about your business. If you can make money, that’s great. But if you can’t, you still need to eat and support your families.”
"Nobody's sure if this job will make money or not. Your second brother and I will help you farm this land. We don't want anything from you."
“When you can earn money from this job, just help me and your second brother out. You’ve sacrificed a lot for this family over the years.”
"They've been good to me and your second brother too. We're brothers, we can't just not help them with this little bit of work."
"Big brother, second brother, really, there's no need."
“Don’t even mention it, Jianjun. You have seven children now, and money is needed everywhere. My children are all married.”
"Your second brother only has Guo Erbao as a child to worry about in terms of marriage, so you're in the most difficult position right now."
Jianjun and Tingting were quite touched, but also helpless, because they really didn't know about their family's financial situation.
But I can't say this, and I feel helpless.
"Then thank you very much, eldest brother and second brother. I'm sorry to trouble you."
"Among us brothers, you've sacrificed the most. We've gone through so much trouble to help you out, and you're saying this?"
"Our parents are getting old, and when the time comes, it will still be the three of us brothers. I am the eldest brother of the two of you, and I will definitely help them as much as I can."
Jianjun was also somewhat moved. He and Tingting exchanged a glance but said nothing.
This is a tacit understanding between the two people; without saying a word, everything is understood.
The matter is now settled, but they still don't plan to tell them about the deal they're planning to make.
Sometimes, it's important to have a sense of proportion in everything, otherwise even the best family relationships can change.
