"It's no wonder that your Uncle Hu keeps talking about his niece all the time. This child is even more likable than what your Uncle Hu says.
Oh my! How can there be such a lovely child? How can there be such a cute child? Why can't I give birth to such a lovely and adorable baby girl?
Oh... I envy your parents so much! They..."
"Mother, what are you doing here?" Hu Liu interrupted Zhang Meilan's words in time and looked at Leng You carefully.
Seeing Leng You's calm expression, he suddenly felt as if his heart was being cut and it hurt terribly.
"Of course I came to bring you food, what if my eldest niece starved?
Look at you, you are such a grown-up, how come you don’t know how to take good care of a child!
Niece, come and have dinner, don't worry about them, let them do their thing."
Zhang Meilan is not only straightforward, but also extremely intelligent. She could tell something was wrong just from Hu Liu's eyes, so she immediately changed the subject.
"Eat, eat, we are really hungry." Hu Liu quickly greeted Liu Dazui, Dasanzi and others.
There were no tables in the store, so everyone used the counter as a table.
Hu Liu took out lunch boxes from his bag one by one and opened them. There was a box of braised pork, a box of pork belly stewed with sauerkraut, and in addition to these two, there was actually a roast chicken. The staple food was steamed buns, but there was a box of rice inside.
"I heard that my eldest niece doesn't like steamed buns, so I brought some rice for you. Come over... and sit here." Zhang Meilan pulled a stool over and was about to reach out to hug Leng You, but suddenly she remembered what Hu Liu had said before, and her hand stopped there.
"Thank you, Aunt Hu Liu." Leng You jumped onto the stool by himself.
There is no other choice but to use this indecent and even somewhat funny action because my height really does not allow it!
"How can my niece be so polite!" Leng You's thank you immediately melted Zhang Meilan's heart. This was something her four sons could never compare to.
"My eldest niece is the most polite, sensible, smartest, and most considerate one. Humph! As for those brats in our family...don't count on them in this life!"
Ever since he met Leng You, Hu Liu began to gradually feel the imperfection of life.
"As for this... there really is no comparison! If we are to compare... who can compare with our eldest niece? Who can compare with our eldest niece?"
Liu Dazui took a big bite of the steamed bun and looked at Hu Liu and Liu Meilan meaningfully.
Hu Liu, Liu Meilan: “…”
It hurts my heart, my friend.
Leng You: “…”
This is hard to respond to.
Liu Meilan stood next to Liu You, taking care of him like a baby, constantly picking up meat and vegetables for him, making it impossible for him to refuse.
"Aunt Hu Liu, I'm full." Seeing Liu Meilan picking up another chicken leg and putting it into her bowl, Leng You was so scared that he quickly hid away holding the bowl.
"You are too skinny. You need to eat more. Your youngest brother in my family, who is only six years old, eats more than you.
No, I'm eating too little. How can I eat so little? "
Liu Meilan frowned, with a look of heartache on her face.
"My eldest niece, just eat until you are full. If you eat too much, your stomach will feel uncomfortable.
Look how tall she is. Although the fourth boy is only six years old, he climbs up and down all day long, so he must have enough to eat."
Hu Liu looked at Leng You with a face full of heartache. Since he roughly knew Leng You's life experience, he could understand why Leng You was so thin. He was also worried that Liu Meilan would say something that would hurt Leng You, so he quickly changed the subject.
“That’s true.
Sigh! Your four younger brothers in my family, not to mention seeing them, just mentioning them gives me a headache, they are all more naughty than the other!
I really should let them meet you someday and learn from you. Alas! "
When talking about her four boys, Liu Meilan seemed to be even more bitter and resentful than Hu Liu.
"Yes, yes, yes, I have had this idea for a long time, but at the beginning... I was always afraid that those four brats would bully my niece. Now it seems... the brains of those four guys combined are not good enough for my niece.
Niece, can you help me take care of your four disappointing brothers when you have time?"
Hu Liu looked at Leng You with pleading eyes.
"Let them come to my place to play when we have the chance!" Leng You nodded.
She seemed to see the helpless heart of an old father.
"That's great! Thank you so much, niece.
I'll trouble you to discipline them for me then. If they are naughty and don't listen to you, you can beat them up. It's okay, they can take a beating, they are tough!"
When Liu Meilan saw Leng You nodded, she seemed to see some ray of hope.
"Listen to your Aunt Hu Liu. If they don't listen, you can beat them up. I tell you, those boys will tear the roof off the house if they are not beaten for three days. I don't know how many times your Aunt Hu Liu has broken the broom handle, but she still can't control them. Sigh!"
Hu Liu also had a look of anticipation on his face.
Leng You: “…”
Suddenly she had a very bad feeling. Did she shoot herself in the foot?
After dinner, Hu Liu rode his bicycle to take Leng You back home. Before, when no one was around, it was always Da Sanzi who stayed there to guard at night. Today, Liu Meilan insisted on going there to live with Leng You.
Leng You firmly rejected the kindness of Hu Liu and his wife, locked the gate from the yard, and then locked the door from the inside after entering the house.
She still slept in the west room. The kang stove was loaded with honeycomb coal before she left in the morning, and the kang was very hot.
She has become accustomed to being alone, and even enjoys this kind of solitude at certain moments.
After a comfortable night's sleep, I got up at 5:30. After washing up, I had a simple meal. Just as I was about to get on the sled with red dates, Hu Liu's voice rang out outside the yard, "Niece, are you up yet?"
"Uncle Hu, why are you here so early?" Leng You opened the gate.
"Your aunt Hu Liu and I were worried about you being here alone, so I came over early to check on you. I didn't hear any noise before, so I thought you were still asleep, so I didn't dare to disturb you." Hu Liulian's eyelashes were frosted, and it was obvious that she had been waiting outside for quite some time.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Leng You would from time to time be moved by the delicacy beneath Hu Liu's rough appearance, but he didn't know what to say.
"Even if it's okay, I still have to take a look to feel at ease!
Are you going back now?
I'm worried about seeing someone driving a sled for such a long distance!
How about I take you back?"
Hu Liu had new worries.
"Every time I came here with grandma and Grandpa Bai, I drove the sled. This time I came alone." Leng You's attitude of refusal was extremely firm.
Finally, as Hu Liu looked worried, Leng You shouted, and Hongzao pulled the sled and sped away like the wind.
Leng You had to go back early, otherwise Wen Jiuyue would be even more worried. She could already imagine that Wen Jiuyue had not slept all night.
