Feng Xiuying had just finished cooking when Ruan Qiuyue appeared at the door of the kitchen, smelling the smell. She had the best nose in the family. Whenever it was mealtime or there was something delicious, she would be the first to show up.
But the first to show up was not to eat first, but to run errands.
Feng Xiuying told her, "Go find your third and fifth brothers and Hongbing to come back for dinner."
Just now, Ruan Hongbing came home and didn't find Ye Fan and Ruan Hongjun, so he ran out again. He must have stayed somewhere to play and didn't know if he had come back yet. Boys are just naughty, and they go out to have fun when they have time, and they won't stay at home at all.
Ruan Qiuyue was used to running errands for others, so she went there when she heard it.
Ye Fan, Ruan Hongjun and Ruan Hongbing didn't leave the compound, and were soon found and called back by Ruan Qiuyue.
When Ruan Qiuyue followed Ye Fan, Ruan Hongjun and Ruan Hongbing to the house, Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie just came down from the building. They met outside the restaurant, and Ye Fan, Ruan Hongjun, Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie all looked at each other.
Ruan Xi had never seen Ye Fan and Ruan Hongjun, but she could tell them by their ages.
Ye Fan was now fourteen years old, and looked like a teenager. He was wearing a clean white shirt. Whether it was his appearance or his clothes, there were only two words about him - clean. Ruan Hongjun
was only eleven years old, and he still looked like a child, but he was not much shorter than Ye Fan.
He was wearing an old military uniform, which made the clothes look a lot bigger on him, and his sleeves and trouser legs were rolled up. He also didn't button his clothes properly, and his military cap was tilted on his head, making even the most formal clothes look messed up.
He also had a wooden pistol in his hand, and he would "biubiubiu" a few times wherever he went.
When he saw Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie, he let out an "eh" sound, like an idiot, and said, "Don't tell me who they are. Let me guess. These two must be my second sister and cousin!"
Ruan Qiuyue said, "Then guess again, who is the second sister and who is the cousin."
Ruan Hongjun held a wooden pistol and walked around Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie, looking them up and down, then stopped and pointed the pistol at Ruan Xi, "You, are my second sister! Right?"
Ruan Xi was about to say hello to him when Ruan Changfu suddenly came out of the restaurant. When he saw Ruan Hongjun, he grabbed his ear and dragged him into the house without saying a word, "You stole my clothes again, didn't you?!"
Ruan Hongjun's face was distorted by being pulled, and he kept muttering, "Dad dad dad dad... it hurts, it hurts, it hurts... be gentle, be gentle... oh oh oh oh oh..."
Ruan Jie really couldn't help it and smiled with his eyebrows lowered.
Ruan Qiuyue came up to Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie and said, "Don't bother with him, he's just a fool."
Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie still hadn't spoken yet, and Ye Fan came up to greet them, "Hello, I'm Ye Fan."
Ruan Xi replied simply and politely, "Hello, Ruan Xi."
Ruan Jie followed, "I'm Ruan Jie."
Ye Fan said very politely, "Let's go in and have dinner together."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Ye Qiuwen's voice again, "Come and have dinner quickly."
Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie followed Ye Fan and Ruan Qiuyue into the restaurant, where they saw Ruan Hongjun had taken off his military cap and military jacket, and was only wearing a white vest on his upper body.
Ruan Changfu scanned everyone in the room and asked, "Do you know everyone? Do you want to introduce yourself?"
No one else said anything, so Ruan Hongjun said, "Please introduce yourself. I don't know you yet."
He spoke like a leader, and Ruan Changfu's face darkened when he heard it. "Speak nicely to me!"
Ruan Hongjun was frightened again and decisively hid behind Ye Fan.
Ruan Changfu glared at him, "Come out! Introduce yourself!"
Ruan Hongjun then jumped out decisively and said to Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie, "I am Ruan Hongjun, the most powerful man in the family!"
Ruan Changfu glared at him again, and he immediately withdrew the smile on his face.
Ruan Xi still looked calm and composed, and said politely, "I am Ruan Xi."
Ruan Hongjun was very pleased, "You are indeed my second sister!"
Then he looked at Ruan Jie, "Then you are my cousin."
Ruan Jie nodded, "I am Ruan Jie."
Now that everyone knew each other, the family naturally sat down to eat.
Ye Qiuwen and Ruan Qiuyang sat together, both of them still had red eyes that had not completely disappeared.
Ruan Hongjun paid attention to details, looking at Ye Qiuwen and Ruan Qiuyang and said, "Sisters, what's wrong with you two? Your eyes are red, didn't you fight at home? Did you pull your hair? Did you pinch your cheeks?"
Ruan Changfu thought Ruan Hongjun was too noisy and looked at him again.
Ruan Hongjun withdrew a little and muttered, "Why don't we even have the right to speak..."
The other children at the table all noticed and no one responded. Ruan Changfu and Feng Xiuying did not mention it either.
While eating, Ruan Changfu looked at Ruan Xi and said, "You just arrived here and are not familiar with everything yet. Get familiar with the environment first. You can walk around the compound first, but don't run around. I'm afraid you will get lost. When we have time on Sunday, ask Qiuwen and Qiuyang... or if not, ask Xiaofan and Hongjun to take you out to play."
Ruan Xi was not interested in these and just asked, "When can we go to school?"
Hearing this, Ruan Changfu didn't say anything, and Ruan Hongjun said from the side, "Why do you want to go to school as soon as you get here? School is so boring and useless. Listening to those teachers buzzing in the classroom all day long gives me a headache."
Ruan Changfu no longer frowned at Ruan Hongjun, and his tone was not heavy, "Shut up."
Ruan Hongjun pursed his lips and stopped talking.
Ruan Changfu then looked at Ruan Xi and said, "Wait for me to arrange it. There are still many things to deal with, such as household registration and school registration. It's not that simple. You have studied in primary school for a few years, so you can start directly from the first grade of junior high school, is that okay?"
Ruan Xi nodded and said, "Okay."
Ruan Qiuyang suddenly said, "It's better not to go to school if it's so troublesome. What's the point of going to junior high school if you haven't finished primary school? You will just be staring at people and not understanding. In my opinion, it's best to stay at home and help your mother raise chickens and grow vegetables. People from the countryside should be best at these things. Going to school is a waste..."
While Ruan Qiuyang was talking, Ye Qiuwen kept bumping her arm gently, but she didn't stop talking. She even shook Ye Qiuwen off, then looked at Ruan Xi and said, "Was I wrong?"
The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became tense, and everyone else was stunned.
Ruan Xi looked at Ruan Qiuyang without blinking and said, "Your parents are also country people. Do you look down on them so much? Did the poor peasants embarrass you? Are you a capitalist lady from somewhere?"
Hearing the words "capitalist lady", Ruan Qiuyang's eyes widened instantly, "Who do you say is a capitalist?"
Before Ruan Xi could say anything else, Ruan Changfu slammed his chopsticks on the table.
He held his anger for a long time, then looked at Ruan Qiuyang, "Get out."
Ruan Qiuyang's face flushed with anger, and he stood up and said, "Why do you tell me to get out? I haven't eaten enough! Why don't you tell her to get out? She said you are a capitalist, didn't you hear?!"
Seeing that Ruan Changfu was about to lose his temper, Ye Qiuwen hurriedly grabbed Ruan Qiuyang and forcibly pulled her away.
As soon as he was pulled upstairs, Ruan Qiuyang squatted on the ground with a wronged look on his face and started crying again.
She cried and said, "Why do you always scold me?!"
Ye Qiuwen whispered, "Qiuyang, you should talk less in the future, otherwise you will be the one who suffers."
Ruan Qiuyang didn't understand, and sniffed, "What's wrong with what I said? They go to school, it's just a waste of time and money, what's the use? It's better for them to help their mother at home. I don't think there is any problem."
Ye Qiuwen took a breath, "Whether it is useful or not is their own business. If they want to study, then study. They can't go to school in the countryside, so they must want to go to school when they come to the city. Why do you care so much?"
Ruan Qiuyang: "I just don't like them!"
Ye Qiuwen asked again: "How many times do you want to cry a day? Today is the first time It's the second round. If we don't provoke her, it's over. We should just keep our distance. If she takes the initiative to provoke us, Dad will definitely teach her a lesson. "
Ruan Qiuyang sniffed, "She took the initiative to provoke you and made you cry, but Dad didn't say anything!"
Ye Qiuwen said, "Because she just came, Dad and Mom will definitely be more tolerant of her. After a long time, everyone will lose patience. If she bullies us again, Dad and Mom will definitely protect us."
Ruan Qiuyang's nose was red, and he thought for a while and said, "Okay, then I will treat them as air in the future."
Ye Qiuwen nodded, "That's right."
After Ruan Qiuyang and Ye Qiuwen went upstairs, no one spoke at the table anymore. Even the chatterbox Ruan Hongjun, who was full of gossip and curiosity, just buried his head in his meal and didn't say a word.
Ruan Changfu had a dark face the whole time, and Feng Xiuying had no expression on her face just eating.
Ruan Jie was not as calm as Ruan Xi. She kept her head down while eating, and she was very nervous.
Ruan Xi just treated it as if nothing had happened just now. She finished her meal peacefully, put down her chopsticks, said a simple greeting, and then got up and went out with Ruan Jie. They didn't go back upstairs, but went outside the house to get some fresh air, but they didn't go far.
Ruan Jie looked at Ruan Xi and whispered, "Ruan Qiuyang really looks down on us from the bottom of her heart, right?"
Ruan Xi chuckled, "Who is she? Do we need her to look up to us? If she doesn't know what's good for her next time, I'll just slap her. I'm her eldest sister, and it's my duty to teach her a lesson."
After that, she said to Ruan Jie, "It's precisely because they all look down on us and think that we who come from the country can only feed chickens, grow vegetables and do housework, that we have to study harder, do you understand?"
Ruan Jie actually still didn't understand that well. She asked, "If we study well, will uncle find us a job in the city? If we transfer our household registration, we should be able to find a job, right?"
In the final analysis, this is related to studying, but the relationship is not very large. The most important thing is to look at Ruan Changfu.
As long as Ruan Changfu arranges jobs for them or lets them join the army, they will be like Ruan Hongjun and the others, and it doesn't matter whether their academic performance is good or not. That's why Ruan Hongjun said just now that studying is useless.
If the family can't arrange it, even if they are from the city, no matter how good their academic performance is, they will go to the countryside as educated youth
. Ruan Xi knew the doubts in her heart, and she couldn't explain this problem to her at present, so she just said: "Don't count on him, even if he arranges a job for us, I don't want to go, so let's study hard first."
Ruan Jie looked at Ruan Xi and blinked, "Oh."
The two were talking, and suddenly heard a voice from the door: "Big sister!"
Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie turned around and saw Ruan Qiuyue coming out after dinner, waving at them.
After waving her hand, she ran to Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie and took a deep breath.
There are so many children in the Ruan family, and Ruan Xi has the best impression of Ruan Qiuyue. Now that she calls her the eldest sister, the impression is even better. So she smiled at Ruan Qiuyue, looked at her and asked, "Aren't you afraid that Ye Qiuwen will be angry?"
Ruan Qiuyue said, "She won't be angry, she will just cry, sob, sob..."
Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie couldn't help laughing together.
Although Ruan Qiuyue is only nine years old, Ruan Xi thinks it is not an exaggeration to say that her mental age is an adult. She looks careless and silly, and she is also the least noticeable in the family, but she understands everything in her heart and can probably see things clearly.
If she can't see things clearly, seeing that her parents are so good to Ye Qiuwen and Ruan Qiuyang bullies her, she will be really depressed.
She looked at Ruan Xi again and said, "Your temper suits my taste. You will be my elder sister in the future!"
Ruan Xi looked at her and smiled, "Then I will accept you reluctantly."
Ruan Qiuyue said, "Don't force yourself. You will definitely not be unworthy of having me as your sister."
Ruan Xi still couldn't help laughing, "Okay, then I can't wait to accept you."
Ruan Qiuyue turned her head and looked, "Do you want me to take you for a walk now? You can't go out in the compound."
It was already dark around now, but there was still time to walk around and digest the food. Ruan Xi didn't want to go upstairs to see Ruan Qiuyang for the time being, so she nodded and said, "Okay, let's take a walk first."
Ruan Qiuyue then took Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie to another place.
This compound is the family brigade of the military district. In fact, it is similar to a community, but the supporting facilities are more complete. There are shops, barber shops, kindergartens, vegetable markets, and auditoriums. It can be said that life is very convenient.
The three of them chatted while walking around. Ruan Jie talked a lot after relaxing. She still cared about Ye Qiuwen, so she asked Ruan Qiuyue: "Is Ye Qiuwen the boss in your family?"
Ruan Qiuyue looked at Ruan Jie and said, "No, it's my dad who has the final say."
But she added a moment later: "But Ye Qiuwen is the sun in our family, and everyone has to revolve around her."
Ruan Jie didn't understand, "Why?"
Ruan Qiuyue said: "I don't know, it has always been like this. My dad is very busy with work and is not at home most of the time. He doesn't care much about small things. My mom usually asks Ye Qiuwen for her opinion before anything else, and Ruan Qiuyang listens to her. Ye Fan is her brother, so he naturally listens to her. Ruan Hongjun, that idiot, only knows how to steal his dad's clothes to go out and play, and fights with others for no reason. He doesn't care about family affairs, so there's nothing to say."
Ruan Jie asked again: "But your parents gave her the best things in the house, don't you have any objections?"
Ruan Qiuyue said "Ruan Qiuyang thinks that Ye Qiuwen deserves it. She is the one who supports Ye Qiuwen the most. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is Ye Qiuwen's believer. Ye Fan and Ruan Hongjun are all good boys. They don't like to care about things or fight. I am the only one left. I dare not have any opinions. It's good enough that Ruan Qiuyang doesn't bully me. I am bullied by Ruan Qiuyang every day, and no one helps me. There are too many children in the family, and I am not the youngest. I am almost transparent."
Ruan Xi smiled after hearing this, and then asked: "Then will you wear Ye Qiuwen's old clothes?"
Ruan Qiuyue said: "Of course They need to be worn. After she wore them, she gave them to Ruan Qiuyang, and after Ruan Qiuyang wore them, she gave them to me. The clothes are not damaged. We can't just throw them away. They must be worn. Didn't I send them to you? Ruan Qiuyang and I only make new clothes during the Chinese New Year. We don't make new clothes at other times because old clothes don't wear out. She is the eldest, so there is nothing we can do about it. "
She looked at Ruan Xi and said, "Oh, I remember, when our family conditions were not so good, my mother told us that Ye Qiuwen and Ye Fan had several hundred yuan in pensions, so she should be nice to them and told us not to You should be jealous but not quarrelsome. You will get used to it later. Actually, Ye Fan is similar to us, except that Ye Qiuwen lives a good life. She is very spoiled. She said that you cannot sleep in the same room with others, otherwise you will not be able to sleep. You cannot wear a piece of clothing for a long time, otherwise your body will itch. You cannot even use inferior vanishing cream, otherwise your face will itch. God, there are too many..."
Ruan Xi just laughed when she heard it, but Ruan Jie's eyes widened after hearing it. She grew up in the countryside and her experience was really limited. So she couldn't imagine that someone lived such a life. Was she a princess in ancient times?
It was really hard to imagine. She was stunned for a while and said, "Is it true?"
Ruan Qiuyue turned her head and looked at her, "Everything is true, but if you ask me whether Ye Qiuwen's problems are true or false, then I don't know, and I dare not say anything. Anyway, she has many problems."
Ruan Jie blinked and looked at Ruan Xi.
Ruan Xi said slowly: "The crying child gets the milk, and Ruan Changfu and Feng Xiuying have spent a lot of energy and thought on her. The more they give, the deeper their feelings are, and they will definitely not let her suffer any grievances. The other children in the family have no objections and none of them argue with her, so she will get used to it and take it for granted."
Ruan Qiuyue nodded after listening, "Sister, I think you are right."
Ruan Xi couldn't help laughing when she heard her call her sister, and asked her: "What is your attitude towards your parents?"
Ruan Qiuyue was indeed open-minded, "I don't have any attitude, anyway, they "They don't like me either, so what attitude can I have towards them? I'll say something to hurt you, I'm much better than you, you should hate them, right?"
Ruan Xi sighed, "I'm almost the same as you, I don't care. They have so many children, one more or one less doesn't matter, and they definitely don't expect anything from me, why should I bother to hate them so much?"
Ruan Qiuyue looked at Ruan Xi and smiled, "That's right, no wonder you and I get along, it turns out we are in the same boat!"
The three of them chatted and talked, walked around the courtyard and went home.
When they got home, they washed up one after another, and then went back to their rooms to lie down and sleep.
Lying on the bed with the door locked, Ruan Xi said to Ruan Jie: "You see, even if you keep him by your side, you won't necessarily live a happy life. You will still be ignored if you deserve to be ignored. Think about it, the people around you can't take care of me anymore, how can they spare any time to care about me who is in the countryside? I think Ruan Qiuyue is not as good as me. At least I have my grandpa and grandma to love me, my fifth uncle to protect me, and you as my sister. What does Ruan Qiuyue have?"
Being ignored is fine, but she is also bullied by Ruan Qiuyang.
Ruan Jie sighed, "That seems to be true."
Ruan Xi: "Be content with what you have."
