When He Rui found out that her brother had married a rural woman, her first reaction was anger. She was angry that a military officer like him was being schemed against by a woman.
Her impression of rural women was that they were dirty, ugly and unsophisticated, and she did not have a good impression of her two nephews and nieces.
But when she arrived in Songbei County, her stereotype was constantly challenged.
I thought my country girl was pretty and dressed more fashionably than the women in the city.
My two adopted nephews are not only cute but also smart.
She had heard Qingqing say that kindergarten courses were simple before and thought she was arrogant, but when the class started, she was shocked by the two children.
Mingze has already started studying high school courses, and Qingqing has also taught herself up to the fifth grade.
What kind of freak was this born by her brother and sister-in-law? If He Yanzhang knew about this, her father would definitely not let his two grandsons stay outside for so long.
He Rui kept complaining all the way, but when she arrived at Daxingtun and saw the He family's courtyard house, she was no longer interested or surprised.
She imagined that her brother was suffering and being plotted against in the countryside, while she had a lovely wife and children enjoying it.
She was the only one who had ever suffered.
He Rui was in a depressed mood. Song Li didn't know what she was thinking and thought she didn't want to see He Linyuan.
In the original book, from the time He Linyuan left home to the tragic death of He Rui, the brother and sister never met each other.
If He Linyuan had not collected evidence and sent the truck driver to prison and sentenced him to a heavy sentence after He Rui's death, she might have thought that He Linyuan had no feelings for his sister.
But now it seems that he just suppressed it in his heart and dared not see it.
And He Rui's feelings towards He Linyuan are not entirely filled with hatred.
"I'm going to go cook. Teacher He, please sit with the children for a while. Qingqing, go get some snacks for Teacher He."
"good!"
When Teacher He came to visit, her mother was not angry, and the little girl became lively and cheerful again.
The He family’s snacks are all made by Song Li herself. They are all produced from space spiritual plants, so it will not be harmful to the two children’s health if they eat too much.
He Rui ate a lot of crispy spicy potato chips, sweet dates with walnuts, soft glutinous rice cakes, and fluffy egg cakes, accompanied by sweet red date and wolfberry tea.
"Teacher He, can you eat spicy food?"
He Linyuan loves spicy food. He came back from vacation today. Song Li prepared a lot of spicy dishes, but she didn't know what He Rui liked, so she came out to ask her.
He Rui hurriedly swallowed the egg cake in her mouth and nodded calmly, "Eat."
"good."
That's the same taste. Sometimes blood ties are really magical. All members of the He family can eat spicy food. Even though He Rui has a cold face, Qingqing also likes to stick to her.
There are also her favorite snacks, which are also liked by the two children.
Song Li shook her head and chuckled, but it was also good this way. It was a good thing for the two children to have more relatives.
Moreover, she wanted He Rui to live well. He Linyuan had suffered enough and should not have to endure the separation from his loved ones.
Song Li cooked on time, and He Linyuan came back just as she was done.
The door was pushed open and He Rui, who was sitting on the sofa, tensed up.
She hasn't seen her brother for more than ten years. In her memory, he was still a thin boy, but now he has grown into a handsome adult.
He was dressed in military uniform, walking with his head held high, a smile on his cold face, but it suddenly disappeared when he saw her when he entered the room.
Mingze has been observing He Rui. He doesn't believe that this beautiful teacher would visit their home for no reason, especially after his sister said that her father was an officer.
In the books he read, some beautiful women would destroy other people's families, and he didn't want his parents to separate.
Now seeing He Rui staring at her father closely, his guess was further confirmed.
"Dad, Mom is in the kitchen."
He inserted himself between the two of them, holding He Linyuan's hand with a stern face, but he was too small to block their sight.
He Linyuan held his son's hand without moving, and looked at He Rui, "Why are you here?"
Even though he hadn't seen his sister for ten years, he recognized her at a glance. The skinny little girl had grown up.
"Dad, do you know Teacher He?"
Qingqing was so silly that she couldn't notice anything unusual and even thought it was a coincidence.
He Linyuan suppressed the emotions in his eyes and nodded lightly.
He Rui clenched her palms, trying her best to suppress the tension in her heart, but the words she spoke were full of sting.
"I can't come?"
Her father doesn't love her, and even her brother doesn't welcome her. They haven't seen each other for more than ten years. Does her brother only dislike her?
He Rui curled up the corner of her mouth in a self-deprecating sneer, and suddenly felt that her presence was unnecessary.
The four of them were so happy, why did I come along and spoil their fun?
Anyway, her brother had abandoned her a long time ago, right?
"I'm sorry, it was your daughter who invited me. If you don't want to see me, I'll leave now."
As she said that, she stood up from the sofa and walked towards the door with her head lowered.
She didn't dare look up, for fear that He Linyuan would see her red eyes.
"Xiao Rui."
He Linyuan called her and said in a hoarse voice, "I don't want to see you."
"But you haven't come home to see me in more than ten years!"
The resentment seemed to have found a breakthrough and burst out directly.
He Rui turned her head and looked at him with red eyes, her voice filled with tears.
He Linyuan stood there, a look of helplessness in his eyes.
During the first five years after he joined the army, he spent every day training. In order to climb up, he worked harder than others.
Moreover, many of the missions he participated in were life-threatening. He didn't know if he could come back, so he didn't dare tell his sister.
In the next five years, he was schemed against by Song Li, and he was exhausted just from taking care of the two children and dealing with her entanglement.
Now being questioned by his sister, He Linyuan felt guilty, "I'm sorry."
"You're not sorry for me, you're just like mom, you don't want me."
He Rui wiped her tears with her sleeves. What right did she have to complain about her brother? If it weren't for her, her mother wouldn't have died.
She is a jinx, born to be unpleasant.
"He Rui!"
When mentioning Ye Rou, He Linyuan felt even more guilty.
He promised his mother that he would take good care of his sister, but he ignored her for ten years.
Both the brother and sister were cold and silent people, and the atmosphere was stagnant for a moment.
Qingqing held Mingze's hand and asked him carefully, "Brother, why did Dad quarrel with Teacher He? He even made Teacher He cry..."
Teacher He is a very nice person and she doesn’t want to make him sad.
Mingze has now realized that he has misunderstood He Rui. If he guessed correctly, Teacher He should be his aunt.
The little girl pursed her lips and glanced at her father. Her father was a good father, but not a good brother, so he would not ignore his sister.
"Mingze, go clear the table, we're ready to eat."
The atmosphere in the living room was stagnant. Song Li brought out the food and gave instructions to her son naturally, as if she hadn't heard what she had just said.
"Teacher He, the bathroom is on the right, go wash up and get ready for dinner."
"He Linyuan, come here and serve me the food."
Her series of instructions directly broke the stiff atmosphere. He Rui did not say anything about leaving and turned to wash her hands.
She was just feeling aggrieved, not that she didn't want to see her brother.
Moreover, the He family in Daxingtun made her feel more intimate and comfortable than the He family in Beijing.
