"All right."
Fan Xiaofan agreed, but remembering what the big boss had said last time, she couldn't help but lower her voice suspiciously: "This time it's not another hostage situation, is it?"
Her gaze was wary, as if she would immediately back out if Shi Lingheng said anything.
Shi Lingheng couldn't help but chuckle: "Am I that kind of person?"
Instead, they kicked the ball back.
Fan Xiaofan hurriedly chuckled, looking like he was offering a cigarette to a big shot.
Shi Lingheng glared at her speechlessly, while Fan Xiaofan chuckled, "Since you're taking the child with you, I'll prepare some things for him."
"Then hurry up."
Fan Xiaofan's dormitory wasn't far from here, and she returned in less than ten minutes, carrying a small package full of things that Fu Weidong often used.
"You stay there quietly. If you want to come back, just tell them."
Shi Lingheng picked up Fu Weidong, nodded to Fan Xiaofan, and turned to leave.
This was the first time Fu Weidong had been held in the arms of a strong man. His small body sat perfectly on Shi Lingheng's hard arm, and his soft body, carrying a unique sweet milky scent, leaned close to the man: "Brother, I want to become strong so that I can protect my sister and myself in the future."
When Shi Lingheng heard him call him "brother," he twitched his lips but didn't say anything.
Forget about seniority for now.
When Fan Yunyan discovered that Shi Lingheng had gone to bring Fu Weidong back, he jumped out of bed in an instant: "You, Shi Lingheng, you actually went to see my sister behind my back!"
Otherwise, how did Fu Weidong come about?
Shi Lingheng said indifferently, "I'm going to pick up this child."
Fan Yunyan, however, did not believe it. He thought that since his second sister was so good, some wolves might have designs on her.
He snorted, "That's good. Stay away from my sister."
Furious, Fan Yunyan decided not to rest and got up to do chores in the courtyard.
Today it was Jiang Yi's turn to cook in the kitchen. Apart from Shi Lingheng and the two female educated youths who were somewhat decent cooks, everyone else's cooking skills were at the level of cooking pig feed.
However, in this era, it's not easy to have enough to eat, so no one has the right to complain. Even if they did, they wouldn't dare to say it out loud.
Each day, whoever cooks the meal, the rest of the people hand over their grain, and the food is distributed according to the amount of grain they receive.
Jiang Yi had her brother Jiang Cheng's help; otherwise, she would have been too busy to manage both starting the fire and cooking. Her face was covered in soot.
She glanced up and saw Fan Yunyan chopping firewood in the courtyard. She snorted coldly. The thought of them suffering while Fan Yunyan lived a comfortable life because he had a good younger sister made her uncomfortable.
Nowadays, food is scarce, and everyone is eating less, but Fanyunyan has a lot of things to supplement their diet.
Jiang Cheng looked up and saw Jiang Yi's eyes and nose were all crooked again. He warned, "Little sister..."
Jiang Yi looked away and moved closer to Jiang Cheng: "Brother, do you think Dad is doing well now?"
My father always doted on my brother and sister the most. When he hastily arranged for them to become educated youth, they were so young and immature that they had a fight with my father when they left.
Later, when they received a letter from their father, the brother and sister were extremely flustered. They said they had seen what kind of life those people in the village who had been renovated from cowsheds were living, and they didn't know how their father was doing now.
But in order not to implicate them, their father even sent a letter severing ties and forbade them, the siblings, from contacting him.
Upon hearing his sister's question, Jiang Cheng closed his eyes in anguish, then opened them again and silently watched the sparks rising from the stove: "So we must take good care of ourselves, so that we may have another chance to see Father again."
