Why does this sound like a veiled criticism?
Looking at Lin Jiaojiao's innocent smile, the accusation that was about to come out was stuck in his heart, and he couldn't say a word. He could only coldly pull his arm back and go back to the kitchen.
She didn't notice the cunning look that flashed across Lin Jiaojiao's face after she turned her head.
After coming back from the bathroom to wash up, Father Lin had already eaten and was ready to go to work.
That brat Lin Jinbao hasn't gotten up yet.
Li Qiufen sat alone and ate breakfast.
Lin Jiaojiao glanced at the table and saw only mixed grain porridge.
This is not their usual meal.
It seems like he’s making another move!
Lin Jiaojiao sat obediently opposite, looking at Li Qiufen with a silly look on her face: "Is this all you have today?"
"That's right!" Li Qiufen sighed. "Since you're so serious about this marriage, our whole family must support you. We gave you most of our food coupons yesterday, and you have to use the rest quickly. We don't have any food left at home right now, so we can only make do with what we have!"
"It's just that your father and your little brother are pitiful. One does such heavy work every day, and the other is still growing. As an older sister, you should be more understanding."
Lin Jiaojiao nodded in agreement: "Mom is right, then let's leave this bowl of porridge for my little brother and let him eat more!"
The door to the inner room creaked open.
Lin Jinbao came out sleepily: "Sister, what do you want to give me?"
"Jinbao is awake!"
Lin Jiaojiao walked up to him with a smile and immediately noticed the bulging boiled eggs in both pockets of his shirt.
"Mom said we've run out of food coupons, so we can only eat porridge for breakfast. I think it's too little, so I want to save some for you."
"...Stay, what?"
Lin Jinbao was stunned when he saw Lin Jiaojiao walking towards him, and he didn't hear what she said at all.
Is this definitely the sister he hated the most?
"This is the mixed grain porridge I left for you!"
Lin Jinbao came back to his senses and looked at the person in front of him again.
The facial features are the same and the clothes are right.
But he always felt that something was different?
Eyes, no, not just eyes...
He always looked lifeless before, never liking to look up at people, and even when talking to him, he would lower his eyebrows and look sideways.
It looked like they were not siblings, but enemies!
She is different now. Her face is full of gentle smiles, and her big, bright eyes are looking at him brightly, like a little sun. Why does she look even prettier than Tang Lianlian?
Thinking of this, my face turned red unconsciously: "Hey! I don't want to eat, I want to go out!" As I said that, I was about to walk out.
Under normal circumstances, Li Qiufen would definitely stop him and let her precious son eat something before going out.
Today, I didn't say a word.
Instead, Lin Jiaojiao chased after him with a worried look on her face: "Jinbao, you don't want to eat breakfast?"
"What's so delicious about that multi-grain porridge?"
Lin Jiaojiao sighed with guilt.
"It's all my fault. I was only thinking about how to please Ji Huaian so that he could finalize this marriage, so that our family could become a cadre family sooner, and you could have a good job in the future. I asked Mom to change the 200 yuan into tickets and advance it to me. Alas, it's okay for me to starve, but I just can't bear to see Jinbao, the future pillar of our family, suffer..."
As he spoke, he raised his sleeves to cover his eyes.
The word "pillar of the family" made Lin Jinbao straighten his back. This middle school boy also felt that he had grown up and should take care of the family affairs.
He saw Lin Jiaojiao crying: "How could my mother do this? My sister is doing this for me!"
"Don't blame Mom."
Lin Jiaojiao hurriedly stopped her: "It doesn't matter if I skip a few meals. You are my only support in the future. For you, this little bit of hardship is nothing!"
Just as she finished speaking, she stumbled and quickly held onto the wall next to her: "That's right, I haven't eaten a single bite since yesterday, and I don't know if I can hold on until Ji Huaian comes. It's okay for me to suffer a little, I'm just afraid that I can't help you."
When Lin Jinbao heard that he might not be able to help, he immediately got angry.
"Mom is just a bunch of idiots. Sis, don't listen to her. Here, take these two eggs."
"Eggs, where did this come from?"
"Just take it!"
Not too stupid not to say it directly.
Lin Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows slightly, then pretended to be embarrassed and declined: "This is not good."
Having said that, the egg was already clenched in his hand.
Lin Jinbao didn't pay much attention to that. He said casually, "If you don't have enough to eat again, just tell me!"
"Jinbao, you're so good to me, but what can you do? You gave me the money before..."
"Don't worry, I have a way!" After saying that, he turned around and went back to the house.
You don’t have to think about it to know that this is a trap!
Lin Jiaojiao no longer looked sick. She leisurely cracked two eggs together. With a snap, the skins broke into pieces.
Then peel one and put it in your mouth.
So delicious!
These days, eggs laid by domestic chickens are different.
After eating the eggs, Lin Jiaojiao planned to go to the supply and marketing cooperative.
When passing by the entrance of an alley, three little boys suddenly rushed out from inside.
In her haste to dodge, she accidentally stepped on a man's foot.
Looking at the footprints on the Liberation shoes, Lin Jiaojiao thought to herself that something was wrong.
She looked up and was about to apologize when she was stunned by the man in front of her.
The man is tall and straight, with three-dimensional facial features, long and thick eyebrows, a high nose bridge, deep eyes, and a short haircut that can't be any shorter. He looks extremely tough.
In later generations, people like little puppies and young handsome guys, but Lin Jiaojiao only likes the "tough guy" type.
However, she comes from the era of 2024, when the streets are full of handsome men and beautiful women.
It won't reach the point where you're so obsessed with it that you can't walk.
Lin Jiaojiao calmed down and asked politely.
"Comrade, I'm sorry, are you okay?"
That little bit of power is like a cat scratching an itch.
But Ji Huaian didn't expect that their fate would come so quickly.
The early morning sunlight shone with soft golden light, spreading on Lin Jiaojiao's small and delicate face, as beautiful as an oil painting.
This was the first time Ji Huaian looked at his fiancée up close.
She is so beautiful!
The smile on her face was so bright, and the dimples on both sides of her cheeks seemed to be filled with honey, and her smile made people's hearts tighten.
And in those dark and bright pupils, his face was reflected, and a numbing electric current shot from top to bottom, straight into his chest.
His heart began to beat wildly involuntarily, and his thoughts suddenly became confused, as if everything around him had stopped.
The world was quiet and only the two of them were left.
"Comrade, are you alright?"
Lin Jiaojiao asked for a long time but the man didn't respond, so she couldn't help but ask again.
The man suddenly came back to his senses, looking at the woman's red lips opening and closing, his Adam's apple moving slightly, and his eyes darkening a little.
"I'm fine."
"I'm glad you're alright. I'm leaving now."
"Wait, I..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, he was attracted by a familiar figure not far away, and his eyes suddenly darkened.
Before Lin Jiaojiao could react, Ji Huaian pulled up Lin Jiaojiao's sleeve and hid in the alley.
