Chapter 60
Wen Jiunian sipped a mouthful of noodles and looked at Lin Nanye: "Since you are brother and sister, why don't you look alike?"
This is what Wen Jiunian is most curious about.
Lin Nanye also told them about his family situation at school. He has three brothers and sisters, and he likes them very much. When people say he is good-looking, he will say that the three of them are better looking than him.
In short, the topic of one's younger brothers and sisters basically never leaves the topic.
When he met Lin Nanzhi, he just thought it was a coincidence. They were both from Nan Province, had the same surname, and the middle character was the same. However, Nan Province was so big, and the two people looked very different. He never thought of this possibility.
So, when he just found out that this was Lin Nanye’s home, he was really shocked!
"Normal, half-sisters."
Wen Jiunian pursed his lips, realizing that he had asked a bad question.
Just as I was about to say sorry, I heard Lin Nanzhi say, "My father and mother were remarried, and my eldest brother was born to my father's ex-wife. My eldest mother died of dystocia when she was pregnant with her second child, and my father later married my mother, and that's how we were born."
"Well, my mother is very good to me. In my heart, she is my biological mother." Lin Nanye also smiled and said, "As for the difference in appearance, I take after my father and biological mother. My mother is Russian, and they are mixed-race, so naturally they look different."
Wen Jiunian said he understood.
"I envy you a lot. I'm not alone like you."
Sometimes he wondered why his parents didn't give him a brother or sister. Whenever he heard his classmates talk about their brothers and sisters, he felt particularly envious.
Especially Lin Nanye, there are not only one but also three.
Lin Nanye smiled and said nothing.
According to age, it is normal for a family like Wen Jiunian to have an only child. In those years, the country was poor and had a large population. In order to develop rapidly, they implemented family planning, which stipulated that a family could only have one child.
Some families have the idea of having a boy to carry on the family line ingrained in their bones. They are very unwilling when the first child is a girl. They may abandon the baby and have another one, or have more children in secret.
That's how it is here.
Not only do they favor boys over girls, but they also believe that having more children means more blessings. They believe that a family with only one child will not be blessed in the future, and will not be able to face their ancestors when they pass away. So which family doesn't have children in secret? Almost every family has three or more children, and it is rare to have two or one child.
Even so, when they were young, they saw many baby girls being abandoned and buried alive.
"Being an only child also has its advantages."
"Too."
Hearing this, Lin Nanzhi sighed sincerely, "I really don't understand. Before, they secretly gave birth even though they were not allowed to. Now, they are urged to give birth but they don't want to. It's contradictory."
“You know it again!” Lin Nanye looked at Lin Nanzhi with a half-smile. The latter felt guilty for a moment, but soon came to his senses and straightened his back: “Well, I can tell the difference!”
"Yes, yes, yes."
Lin Nanye echoed.
Lin Nanxun, who was standing by, also heard this and rolled his eyes: "You can tell the difference, then tell me how I perform."
Lin Nanxun is two years younger than Lin Nanzhi. He was born in the year of the sheep, is 11 years old this year, and has just graduated from primary school.
Lin Nanzhi pretended to count on his fingers, then said, "Not very ideal, Math 96, Chinese 63, English 67, Thought and Morality 53, Science 42, not good, Lin Nanxun, your imbalanced performance is too serious."
"Lin Nanzhi, don't curse me!"
Lin Nanzhi made a face at him. Lin Nanxun was so angry that he asked Lin Nanye to help him make the decision.
Wen Jiunian couldn't help laughing when he saw the three brothers and sisters getting along with each other.
After eating noodles, Lin Nanzhi asked Lin Nanxun to wash the dishes, but Lin Nanxun immediately refused: "Why? Don't you have hands?"
"Didn't you see the guests? I'll go clean the room!"
"No, let me do it, he's still young."
"No need. Our child knows everything at such a young age." After saying this, Lin Nanzhi looked at Lin Nanxun, as if asking, "Do you still want some pocket money?"
In the end, Lin Nanxun succumbed to the temptation of pocket money and started washing dishes.
Lin Nanzhi was just about to pull Wen Jiunian and drag the suitcase to the second floor, but Lin Nanye took the initiative to take over the task, so Lin Nanzhi had to go find August.
There are five rooms on the second floor, four bedrooms and a study. Lin Nanzhi and Lin Nanxuan both live with Lin's mother, so the master bedroom on the second floor is occupied by Lin Nanye. Lin Nanzhi chose a room opposite Lin Nanye that has a view of the garden at the back.
There is also a room next to her, which also has a balcony. There is also one in the room next to Lin Nanye, and the balconies are connected. The other one is opposite the sun room. It only has a large window and no balcony. The room is still quite large.
Lin Nanye showed the three empty rooms to Wen Jiunian and asked him to choose one. Anyway, the rooms were cleaned every day and were very clean. The only thing he needed to do was to change the four-piece suit.
Wen Jiunian looked around and chose the room next to Lin Nanzhi.
"You put the things away, I'll clean up." Lin Nanye said as he was about to change all the quilt covers and sheets, but Wen Jiunian came forward to help. With his help, the process went much faster.
"Okay, none of these three rooms have bathrooms. If you want to wash up, that's the bathroom over there. There are unopened toiletries in the cabinet inside."
"good."
Lin Nanye left, and Wen Jiunian also started to put his things away.
Lin Nanzhi found August in the greenhouse and brought her back to his room.
Stroke its fur gently: "You just arrived and nothing is prepared. I will build you a nest tomorrow."
There is a flower and bird market in Wumeng that specializes in selling these things, but there are currently no pet cats and dogs. They only sell cats, calico cats, orange cats and local dogs. Apart from cages, there are only chains and nothing else that pets need.
Unlike a few years later, when the Internet developed rapidly and the NetEase Cloud era arrived, pet cats and dogs became loved by many people, and these things appeared in the flower and bird market.
At present, she cannot buy these things in the market, so she can only make them herself.
I took the cat bowl I bought and put it on the ground, poured some cat food in it, found a small blanket and folded it up and spread it on the ground as a temporary nest. August didn't mind, he climbed up and curled himself up, closed his eyes and rested.
Maine cats grow up to be very large. When they are born, they are almost the same size as newborn babies. August is already two months old, which is the right time for them to eat complementary food. Although it is only two months old, it is already the same size as other adult cats.
Lying on the blanket is also a big ball.
I didn't care about it anymore. I changed the quilt cover and sheets in the room, took a nightgown from the closet, went into the bathroom to take a shower, and after blow-drying my hair, I could finally have a good sleep.
Next door, Wen Jiunian picked up his phone and replied to messages. He had received many messages in the past few days and had no time to reply, so he took advantage of this moment of free time to reply to them one by one.
He replied to his parents first, but unexpectedly Mother Wen called him directly. He was afraid of disturbing Lin Nanzhi, so he went to the greenhouse next door to answer the call.
