After returning, Xiao Yichen looked gloomy.
After seeing Xiao Yichen return, Su Ruobai went out with his second brother.
Naturally, they knew the two had something to say to each other.
Thinking of Xiao Yijing's background, Su Ruobai sighed.
It's hard to say!
She casually handed Xiao Yichen an orange, her voice filled with concern: "Have an orange. I bought some at the commune yesterday. I was lucky enough to get a few."
These oranges are a rare treat here.
They're usually very hard to get.
Even without connections within the supply and marketing cooperative, it's not guaranteed you can snag one.
The price is acceptable, 24 cents a pound.
There are only a few available, and the current transportation system is not good; it will take a long time to deliver them.
The preservation technology wasn't great either; the oranges that arrived were all wrinkled and bruised.
Even this requires scrambling to buy.
Fortunately, although it didn't look very appealing, it tasted absolutely delicious.
It's not that it's particularly sweet, but rather that it has a pure orange flavor.
It also has a refreshing taste that is 80% sweet and 20% sour.
Anyway, she likes it.
After finishing the meal, they even planted the seeds in the space.
He directly used his wood-type ability to create one.
Unfortunately, it was sour, small, and neither tasty nor visually appealing.
Later, after flipping through some agricultural books, I discovered that these things were all grafted.
The fruit that grows on the grafted branch is the grafted variety.
The original variety is on the ungrafted branches.
In short, it's a waste.
Xiao Yichen accepted the oranges from his wife.
I calmed down a little.
Thinking about what his second brother had said, and knowing that his wife also knew about this, he said shyly, "Honey, do you know that our eldest brother isn't our biological son?"
Su Ruobai also picked up an orange and slowly peeled it open.
Take out the orange segments and carefully remove the white membranes on them one by one.
Everyone says that oranges cause internal heat, but these white membranes are good for reducing internal heat.
It's best to eat them together.
But she just doesn't like it.
For her, liking is simply liking.
If I don't like her, I just don't like her; being nice to her won't help.
Su Ruobai carefully picked up an orange segment and popped it into her mouth.
One bite, and the sweet and sour orange flavor fills your entire mouth.
When stimulated, it begins to secrete a large amount of saliva.
This is the flavor that Su Ruobai likes.
Hearing Xiao Yichen's words and seeing his unhappy expression, she realized that he was not happy.
Su Ruobai nodded: "I know, Mom let it slip, that's how my second brother and I found out. But Dad seems to forbid us from talking about it, so we didn't ask!"
Xiao Yichen nodded, unsure of what to say.
He felt this was a bit far-fetched.
The older brother, with whom he had lived for over ten years, suddenly became someone who was not his biological son.
This...this was something he couldn't quite accept for a moment.
Seeing his expression, Su Ruo understood his feelings.
Take the untouched orange from his hand and hand him the orange segments you've prepared: "Have a segment of orange, it's quite sweet."
Even though Xiao Yichen was unhappy, he still cherished his wife's good intentions.
I took the orange segment and popped it into my mouth.
When the sweet and sour taste fills the entire mouth.
He felt a little better after that.
Seeing that he had eaten, Su Ruobai then said, "Well, since our parents didn't tell us about this, we should just pretend we don't know!"
What happened before will remain the same in the future, unless our parents tell us.
And those kids, they're all good kids. Our parents treat them like their own grandchildren.
They've been good to me too. I think, what can I do? Anyway, they've cut ties with the boss, don't you think?
After Xiao Yichen finished eating, he picked up the orange that his wife had given him earlier.
Slowly peel off the skin, and then peel off the white fascia as well.
He then handed it to his wife.
"Don't worry, I just can't accept it right now."
No matter what, we've been brothers for so many years. It's definitely a bit hard to accept that he suddenly tells me we're not related by blood.
But you're right, if our parents don't say anything, we should just pretend we don't know anything!
"Hey, honey, eat this. It's delicious, even better than what I had in Shanghai."
Su Ruobai also became interested: "You guys eat oranges in the army?"
Seeing that she had finished eating, Xiao Yichen quickly handed her another one: "No, someone gave it to my comrade, so we ate some. But it's too sour, no good."
Su Ruobai nodded, a slight smile appearing on her lips: "I guessed so. If the military doesn't provide them, where are you going to buy them? You can't even get them out."
Xiao Yichen smiled as well, his hands continuing to work.
Su Ruobai ate one, and he gave her one.
The two worked together seamlessly.
We chatted about everyday things and shared our innermost thoughts, and before we knew it, it was getting late.
Xiao Yichen then thought of his older brother, who hadn't returned for a long time, and asked again, "Has my brother not come back since he went to the hospital?"
Su Ruobai paused for a moment before speaking: "No."
Since that incident, I don't know what he was thinking, but he hasn't come back.
Our dad also asked someone to look for her, saying that she was at her sister-in-law's house every day with her brother-in-law.
Their family was very generous and always took care of the couple's food and drink. I heard that the older brother's parents-in-law initially disagreed with the relationship.
However, later, the elder brother's brother-in-law said that he would pay for all the expenses, so the elder brother and his wife stayed.
Also, I heard that my brother's brother-in-law has made a lot of money recently, but I don't know the specifics of how.
