Chapter 17: Group Favorite
Jiang Zhiluo squatted down and picked up the little boy, "Xuanxuan, sister misses you too."
This is her younger brother, only five years old. His full name is Jiang Yunxuan and his nickname is Xuanxuan.
Xuanxuan hugged her neck with his little hands and nudged her with his head, looking like he was relying on her.
Jiang Zhiluo felt her heart soften when she saw how cute and well-behaved her little brother was.
She really has no ability to deal with children.
Not to mention that when she was at her mother's house before, even though she was the eldest sister, because she always seemed not very smart, even her five-year-old brother would be nice to her.
Whenever there is something delicious, I always think of giving it to her first.
She has many brothers and sisters, but the Jiang family is very harmonious, and her brothers and sisters are all very nice to her.
But Jiang Zhiluo felt distressed when she saw how thin her five-year-old brother was.
My mother's family conditions were very ordinary. I had many younger brothers and sisters, and we often didn't have enough to eat.
Even though they all ate closely behind their youngest brother Xuanxuan, he was sensible and never ate alone. He always ate whatever his older brothers and sisters ate.
Even if his older brothers and sisters saved their own food for him, he would not eat it, always saying, "I am still young, I eat less, I am not hungry."
He looks very well behaved.
"Here, sister brought you some candy."
I bought some candy in town before, and gave one piece to each of my younger brothers and sisters.
When Xuanxuan saw the candy his sister put in his hand, his eyes lit up instantly, "Wow, sister, it's really candy."
"Sister, when you and your brother-in-law got married, mother gave each of us a piece of candy, and that was it."
"Sister, I secretly didn't eat it and left it for you."
As he spoke, Xuanxuan rummaged through his pocket and pulled out a candy, carefully handing it to his sister.
As if offering a treasure, "Sister, this is for you."
Jiang Zhiluo looked at her five-year-old brother who was reluctant to eat it and carefully hid it before giving it to her, and her heart softened in an instant.
I just feel sweet and heartwarming.
"Xuanxuan, just eat it. No need to leave it for your sister." Jiang Zhiluo knew that her younger brother liked to eat sweets and candy.
But the conditions in the countryside are poor, so they can only eat a piece of candy during the Chinese New Year.
Or if there is a happy event in someone's house in the village and candy is distributed, the children will follow along and might grab a piece or two of candy.
But they are also very precious things.
Xuanxuan didn't understand, and blinked her big eyes and said, "But sister likes to eat candy too. Xuanxuan doesn't want to eat it, so give it to sister."
Jiang Zhiluo could only say, "Sister doesn't like candy now, so Xuanxuan can just eat it. I'll get a lot of candy for Xuanxuan later."
When Jiang Zhiluo said this, she probably understood why her parents always said they didn't like the delicious food made at home.
It turned out that it wasn't that he didn't like eating it, but he just couldn't bear to eat it and didn't want the children to feel burdened, so he said he didn't like eating it.
"Then what does Sister like to eat? When Xuanxuan grows up and can afford it, buy it for her."
Jiang Zhiluo smiled gently and kissed Xuanxuan's little cheek. She felt that this little brother was cute and well-behaved. "Okay, then our Xuanxuan must eat well and eat more, so that he can become smart and strong."
"Yeah, sister, I ate well."
Although she said so, Jiang Zhiluo knew that her family conditions were very ordinary and her younger brothers and sisters rarely had enough to eat every meal.
But it’s better than the Cui family.
"Let's go home."
Jiang Zhiluo carried Xuanxuan home.
Xuanxuan leaned on Jiang Zhiluo, looked back, and saw Cui Hejin at once. He said tenderly, "Handsome brother-in-law."
Jiang Zhiluo paused, turned around and looked at Cui Hejin behind her.
She wanted to slap herself on the forehead. She was so busy talking to her brother that she forgot Cui Hejin was beside her.
She smiled a little guiltily and said, "Well, let's go in together. Mom and Dad should be waiting at home."
There was a flickering and deep glint in Cui Hejin's eyes, making it difficult to discern his expression.
He said calmly, "Okay."
Then he carried the basket on his back and went into the yard with Jiang Zhiluo.
The Jiang family also had a mud house, but it looked much more spacious and solid, with a special courtyard wall and a special gate, unlike the Cui family, which only had a small courtyard with a fence.
After entering, there are four main rooms. There is also a wing room on the left side of the yard, which is convenient for storing some sundries. The right side has been cleaned up to make a vegetable garden.
There is a wooden chicken coop and a wooden duck coop at the foot of the wall, and next to them is a pile of dry firewood and hay.
There is also a rope stretched back and forth in the yard, which is a clothesline, and there are several pieces of clothes hanging on it.
It's all patches on top of patches.
Jiang Zhiluo knew that her parents loved cleanliness, so even if they wore patched clothes, they would change them regularly and keep them clean.
As soon as Xuanxuan entered the door, he shouted, "Mom, my sister and brother-in-law are back."
When I heard the sound, I heard a bang in the house, as if a ladle fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, a thin and gentle woman walked out quickly.
There was a little girl following closely behind.
"Zhiluo, Hejin, you're here, come in quickly."
The eight-year-old girl looked up at Jiang Zhiluo and Cui Hejin and called out in a clear voice, "Sister, brother-in-law."
Cui Hejin responded softly.
The little girl is Jiang Yunmian, Jiang Zhiluo’s fifth sister.
She has three younger brothers and two younger sisters.
Although her younger brothers and sisters have different personalities, they are all very kind to her as the eldest sister.
Although the sisters in the farming family don't have enough food to eat or warm clothes to wear, there is no intrigue between them. They love each other and think about how to live a good life. When they don't have enough food, they will give in to each other. Even if they are hungry themselves, they still want their brothers and sisters to have enough to eat.
Because his predecessor was traumatized when he was a child, he always seemed not very smart.
So even though she is the eldest sister, her younger brothers and sisters all love her and treat her well.
Jiang Yunmian looked at the basket on her brother-in-law's back with great discernment and said, "Sister, this is very heavy for my brother-in-law."
Jiang Zhiluo came to her senses and without even bothering to greet her mother, she hurriedly asked Cui Hejin to put down the backpack.
"Mom, this is something my mother-in-law prepared a long time ago and asked me to bring it over."
When Jiang Zhiluo's mother, Ye, saw the things in the backpack, she felt a little guilty and said, "How could you let your mother-in-law bring so many things for you? This is too much."
"He Jin, we're all a family from now on. You and Zhi Luo can just come back and you don't need to bring anything."
"As long as you two live a good life, your father and I will be relieved."
When people in the village go out to visit relatives, they always bring a few white flour cakes.
But Jiang Zhiluo brought so many eggs back home, not to mention two bags of brown sugar.
Those are things that cannot be bought with money.
It is especially good for women's body.
This thing is expensive, and Ye usually doesn't want to spend money to buy it.
Ye thought that as long as her daughter and son-in-law lived well, it would be enough. As a mother, she didn't expect them to worry about the family, but just thought that they lived well, and she would feel happy.
And she didn't want to cause trouble for the children.
