Grandma Xiao did have a lot of good things, such as milk powder, milk candy, and biscuits. These were sent by Xiao Ling. Xiao Ling had worked in the commune canteen for more than two years. It was a good place. She had more money, so she was also very filial to her mother's elders. Grandma Xiao hid all these things and did not share them with the children. Instead, she took them out and gave them a little to eat when a child came to see her. At Grandma Xiao's age, she didn't need to favor any child. Although she only had one son, she had three grandsons. Everyone envied their family. Whether it was Grandma Xiao, Grandpa Xiao, or Qin Xiangju, they could all enjoy happiness early.

However, since they separated from the courtyard, Xiao Rui and Xiao Zhu rarely came, except for Xiao Jixiang who came occasionally. Or, since Qi Bocai was driven back to her parents' home during the Chinese New Year, she stopped socializing with everyone after she came back, and the two children did the same.

Grandma Xiao was also a person with a temper. If the younger generation didn't come, she wouldn't let her, the elder, go, right? So, she hid all the delicious food.

Compared with Grandma Xiao, Qin Xiangju is more friendly to her grandson. After all, great-grandson and grandson are different.

Grandma Xiao took out some biscuits and candies and divided them among Little Jixiang and Little Eleven, giving each of them three biscuits and three candies. It wasn't that she didn't give them more, but she was afraid that the children would lose their temper and eat them all. Then she went to the kitchen to get a bowl and made a bowl of milk powder for each of them.

Little Eleven looked at the milk powder. He didn't like to drink milk powder. There was no shortage of milk powder at home, but Little Jixiang liked to drink it: "Thank you, grandma." As he said that, he picked up the bowl and took a small sip, then showed a happy smile. Judging from his expression, it must not be the first time he came to drink it.

Xiao Shiyi looked at Xiao Jixiang and then at Grandma Xiao. He didn't want to drink the milk powder. To him, the milk powder was not as attractive as the fruit candy in his hand.

Grandma Xiao looked at him and said kindly, "Little Eleven, why don't you drink it? This milk powder tastes good." She certainly didn't know that Little Eleven didn't want to drink it anymore. Not to mention Little Eleven, even Lin Wudi drank a lot on the island. After all, drinking milk powder is also good for children of Lin Wudi's age. Lin Yiyi gave it to her son, so how could she not give it to her brother?

Little Eleven shook his head: "Don't drink it..." Then he pushed the milk powder in the bowl in front of Little Jixiang, "Brother, drink it."

Xiao Jixiang: "Do you want to give it to your brother?"

Xiao Eleven nodded.

Little Jixiang laughed so hard that his eyes almost went blind. He thought his younger brother was really nice, giving him such delicious milk powder. However, he was the older brother and couldn't take his younger brother's things. He said, "Eleven, drink it. I have it."

Little Eleven was firm! He shook his head firmly: "Brother drinks, Eleven has it." Every time his mother gave him milk powder, she had to coax him for a long time.

Little Jixiang: "Brother, just drink this bowl."

Little Eleven: "Eleven eats candy."

Grandma Xiao: "Our Eleven is really good and knows how to give in to his elder brother. Our Jixiang is also very good and knows how to give in to his younger brother. You brothers should always think about giving in to each other."

Little Jixiang knew a little bit about what Grandma Xiao meant, that is, the older brother should give in to the younger brother. He nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to Grandma."

Little Eleven didn't know what Grandma Xiao meant, so he followed his brother and said, "Listen to Grandma."

Qin Xiang stood outside for a long time. After hearing what the brothers said, she couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that you are eating at Grandma's place." The things here at Grandma Xiao's place were sent by Xiao Ling. Xiao Ling would give them to Grandma Xiao, and naturally she would not leave Qin Xiangju out. She also came out with candies, dried biscuits and dried sweet potatoes.

When Xiao Shiyi heard Qin Xiangju's voice, he looked at her curiously.

Qin Xiangju distributed the food to them and patted Xiao Shiyi's head: "You eat here, and grandma will make noodles for you."

Xiao Shiyi: "Eat noodles."

Qin Xiangju: "Does Xiao Shiyi like to eat noodles?"

Xiao Shiyi: “I like it.” Although he had eaten noodles before, people of his age have no memory of things, so he didn’t remember what noodles tasted like at all.

Qin Xiangju: "Then let's have noodles for lunch and ask your mother to come and eat with us."

As soon as he heard his mother's name, Xiao Shiyi wanted to find his mother: "Yi Yi..." He walked towards the door.

Little Jixiang drank the milk powder in one gulp and hurried to catch up: "Eleven, where are you going?"

Little Eleven: "One by one..."

Qin Xiangju: "Maybe he's missing his mother. Jixiang, take your brother to your second aunt's house and be careful on the road." The two families were only a few houses apart, so there was no need to worry about anything happening.

Little Jixiang: "Hey."

Grandma Xiao: "I'll go and take a look."

Qin Xiangju: “Hey.”

Little Jixiang held Little Eleven, licking the milk powder at the corner of his mouth with his tongue. He felt very excited after drinking a bowl of milk powder. Little Eleven obediently let Little Jixiang hold him, and he licked the candy. The sweet candy was really delicious. Grandma Xiao followed behind them, and she was also happy when she saw them brothers. Living to this age and seeing children and grandchildren all around, this is the happiest thing.

Lin Yiyi cleaned the house. She didn't clean the house when she came on the trading day every month. She just tidied the bedroom. Now that she is back and will stay for a while, she will clean every corner. She came with the dirty water, washed the rag and dried it, and saw Xiao Jixiang coming with Xiao Shiyi.

Little Jixiang: "Second aunt."

Lin Yiyi: "Hey, good luck is coming."

Xiao Shiyi: "Yi Yi...candy..." He showed the candy that he had licked several times to Lin Yiyi.

Xiao Shiyi pointed at Xiao Jixiang and said, "My brother gave it to me." After thinking for a while, he took out some candy and biscuits from his pocket and said, "My grandmother gave it to me."

Lin Yiyi: "Then your brother and grandmother gave you food. Did you thank them?"

Xiao Shiyi: “Yes.”

Lin Yiyi: "They gave you something, do you have anything to give them?"

Lin Yiyi waved at him: "Come, we also have something to give to my brother and grandmother, can you help mom give it to them?"

Xiao Eleven: "Okay."

Lin Yiyi took two apples from the kitchen, washed them, and handed them to Xiao Shiyi: "Here, one for brother and one for grandma."

Xiao Shiyi's hands were too small to hold an apple in each hand, so he could only hold it. He walked to Xiao Jixiang and said, "Brother, give it to me."

Xiao Jixiang didn't dare to take it and looked at Lin Yiyi: "Second Aunt, I don't need it." Although there seemed to be saliva flowing in his mouth, he also knew that the apple was very expensive, so he didn't dare to take it.

Lin Yiyi smiled and said, "You gave me candy, and I gave you apples. If you don't want them, I won't be able to take anything from you anymore."

Xiao Jixiang: "Thank you, Second Aunt, and thank you, Eleventh."

Xiao Shiyi walked out again holding an apple.

Xiao Jixiang: "Eleven, where are you going?" Why does my little brother always like to run around?

Xiao Shiyi stopped and said, "For grandma." He was still holding an apple.

Grandma Xiao listened at the door for a long time, ready to tease them, and then she saw Xiao Shiyi coming out holding an apple. Xiao Shiyi handed the apple over: "Here."

Grandma Xiao: "Oh, this is for me?"

Little Eleven raised his little hand: "Here, it's delicious." Since he started eating complementary food at 8 months old, he can eat half an apple in a month, but not every day, because having apples every day is easy to arouse suspicion, so! Every time Lin Yiyi goes back to the countryside, she will bring apples for him. From eating a quarter of an apple puree at a time, he can now eat a whole apple puree. However, the apple itself is not big, and after removing the core and cutting into puree, it is even smaller, just suitable for children's stomach.

Grandma Xiao: "Grandma doesn't want to eat it, so Eleven will eat it by himself."

Xiao Shiyi rubbed his belly and poked it again: "Eat it." Then he stuffed the apple into Grandma Xiao's arms and ran back to the house. He ran into the kitchen, picked up the candy on the stool, and continued to lick it.

Lin Yiyi watched Grandma Xiao come in and poured her a cup of boiled water, but it was still not cold: "Grandma."

Lin Yiyi: "He will stay for a while. Little Eleven has grown up and has never been back. Let him come back to get to know his family and the elders."

When Grandma Xiao heard this, she thought Lin Yiyi did a good job. That's right, the child is almost two years old, no one knows him, and they miss him very much. Now they see that the child is so smart and cute, they like him very much. Grandma Xiao: "It's good to stay for a while, it's good to stay for a while. By the way, don't cook for lunch, your mother said to go to our place for noodles at noon."

Lin Yiyi: "Okay, OK. I just came back and cleaned up. I really don't want to cook." As she said that, she moved two chairs and asked Grandma Xiao to sit in the living room. Little Eleven took out his toy ball and asked Little Jixiang to play with him, which meant throwing it around. He and Lin Wudi often played with it. Several times, when she saw Little Eleven almost falling down with his legs swinging, Grandma Xiao's heart was hanging. Lin Yiyi was used to it. It was okay for children to fall a few times, and the surroundings were clean and would not bump into anything else.

After a while, Liang came: "Second sister-in-law." Liang was carrying a basket with dried peanuts in it. The peanuts were from last year, stored after drying, and this year's harvest has not yet been harvested. Liang's belly must be four months pregnant, and it is already obvious that she is pregnant, and it is still not small.

Liang said: "It is a bit big, maybe the baby is strong."

Lin Yiyi asked, "Could it be twins? Have you been to the hospital?"

Liang said, "No." She had been in good health since she became pregnant and had no minor pains, so there was no reason for her to see a doctor.
