Chapter 1: Starting Over
"Xiaoxiao, Shitou, sit down. Dad wants to talk to you about something."
Jiang Laoshi sat at the round table, and Fan Xiuying handed him the box of tobacco leaves and the newspaper.
She also held a sewing basket.
She sat down in front of the table and sewed shoe soles. The cloth shoes worn by every household were homemade, and no woman in the family had time to spare.
There is always work to do.
Jiang Xiaoxiao and Jiang Shitou sat down at the table.
There are four siblings in their family, two older sisters, Jiang Yue and Jiang Xin, a middle brother, Jiang Shitou, and a youngest daughter, Jiang Xiaoxiao.
The eldest sister Jiang Yue was among the first group of educated youth who responded to the country's call to go to the countryside, and went directly to the Great Northern Wilderness.
The second sister Jiang Xin was in poor health, so she took her mother's place and went to work in a textile factory as a female worker.
Three years ago, she married Qin Dazhuang, a worker in the machinery factory. Both of them are working.
Only Jiang Xiaoxiao and her brother Jiang Shitou are left at home.
"Dad, what's going on? You look so serious! Why do I feel something is wrong?"
Jiang Shitou is honest by nature, but he is also lively and cheerful! He is a straightforward person.
Jiang Xiaoxiao hasn't seen Third Brother like this for a long time.
Jiang Laoshi took the newspaper and hit Jiang Shitou, "You just talk nonsense, and you are always so impatient. Tell me, when can you calm down a little? Look, your sister is better than you."
In fact, Jiang Laoshi is just like his name, really honest.
A truly honest man.
"Dad, my pain, my love! Am I your biological child? No wonder parents love their youngest child the most. It turns out I'm not your biological child. Be careful not to beat me stupid. I'm not as smart as my sister to begin with. If I become stupid, I won't even be able to find a wife. I wonder if you'll be worried in the future."
While pretending to be confused and shouting in pain, he was actually jumping around the table.
Jiang Laoshi was an honest man, and he laughed when he heard this.
"Sit down right here. Don't tell me that your mother and I picked you up from the garbage dump. Your sister is our biological child. I will beat you to death, you little bastard. You dare to talk nonsense. You are becoming more and more outspoken."
Pointing at the chair, Jiang Shitou sat down obediently.
Raise your hands in surrender.
"Yes, yes, you are awesome. I am adopted. Oh my god, what kind of people are my biological parents? Are they high-ranking officials or something? If so, can I benefit from them? At least I can get a job, right?
Mom, did you keep my childhood blanket or something? That would be the evidence to find my biological parents."
Jiang Shitou fell into an uncontrollable fantasy.
Fan Xiuying was overjoyed. She touched her hair with the needle tip in her hand, then continued to sew the sole of her shoe with the thimble. She said with a smile, "You! You are not that lucky. I heard that when you were picked up, it seemed that the wife of Da Fen Qiang, the manure digger, had lost a baby. You can go and ask her. Maybe you can replace Da Fen Qiang and do the manure digging."
Jiang Shitou's face fell at the smiling words.
"Mom, you can just bully me. How fun is it to bully your son together with my dad? Xiaoxiao, let's ignore them."
He is here to pull Jiang Xiaoxiao into his camp.
Jiang Xiaoxiao's eyes were wet!
This happy family is the Jiang family that raised her for eighteen years, and it is also the Jiang family that always has the best for her.
Jiang Laoshi noticed that his daughter's eyes were red and was shocked.
"What's the matter, my girl! Don't talk nonsense! Tell me what's the matter, and your parents will take care of it for you! Tell me, Shitou, did you bully your sister again? I think you are itching for trouble, and you will tear the roof off the house if you don't punish you for three days. Mother of the child, bring my bamboo whip over here. If I don't teach this bastard a lesson, he will rebel."
Jiang Shitou was dumbfounded!
When he got close to his sister, his eyes were really red. The tears were like pearls, crystal clear and hanging on his eyelids without falling.
Jiang Shitou's heart skipped a beat.
It’s unfair!
How could he bully his own sister?
Jiang Xiaoxiao stood up in a hurry and stopped Jiang Laoshi who was looking angry.
"Dad, this has nothing to do with my brother. He didn't bully me!"
Jiang Laoshi didn't believe it. They held his little girl in their hands for fear of dropping her, and held her in their mouths for fear of her melting.
Jiang Laoshi had his little girl when he was 35 years old. As a late-born daughter, Jiang Laoshi loved her more than any other child in the family.
"Don't protect your brother. It must be him. He's been idle all day. I have to teach him a lesson. You, kid, don't even know how to complain when you're bullied. You've always been soft-hearted. What's going on?"
"Xiaoxiao, you are such a bad kid. Your brother always bullies you, but you always protect him. What will you do when you go out in the future? I tell you, don't protect your brother. Your dad is right. This boy will go crazy if he is not beaten. Your brother has to teach him a lesson."
Fan Xiuying actually went to turn over the bamboo whip in their house.
Jiang Shitou wanted to cry but had no tears. These were his biological parents. How could they put the blame on him? He felt so wronged. This was more unfair than Dou E's.
"Mom and Dad, do you think it's snowing outside now?"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and try to divert attention. Why is it snowing outside? What month is it?"
Jiang Laoshi had already snatched the bamboo whip from his wife's hand.
Jiang Xiaoxiao hurriedly stopped Jiang Laoshi.
"Dad, listen to me first. This has nothing to do with my brother. I was just sitting there and thinking of a plot in a novel, so I cried. It has nothing to do with my brother."
Before her biological parents came, her parents actually thought she was their biological daughter.
She is the youngest girl in the family, so naturally her parents love her like the apple of their eye.
Who would have thought that his daughter was the wrong child.
"Really?"
Jiang Laoshi was holding the bamboo whip, but Jiang Xiaoxiao was holding it tightly and refused to let go. He asked his daughter doubtfully.
Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously.
Jiang Jiang's parents and all of Jiang Jiang's relatives are sincere to her, and their love has never been discounted in any way.
This was her real family.
But in her previous life, she mistakenly treated her adoptive parents and older sisters and brothers who were truly devoted to her as outsiders, and was only focused on developing a relationship with her biological parents.
I thought they were my parents.
She had done so many wrong things, causing her adoptive parents to worry about her.
It also caused the Jiang family to almost be destroyed.
She would never let history repeat itself in this life.
She is the daughter of the Jiang family, and will be so for the rest of her life. What is owed to her must be repaid, and what has been done for her, she will definitely repay.
This time she would never let herself be blinded.
It won’t hurt your family members’ feelings.
Jiang Shitou spread his hands happily, "Look! Dad, what did I say? I said I didn't bully my sister, but you still didn't believe me."
Jiang Laoshi put down the bamboo whip and said, "Okay, since everything is fine, you two can sit down. This matter concerns your future, so Dad called you here this time to explain the matter to you. You can decide what to do. Dad respects your opinions."
The new book has been released, and I would like to ask for your support.
