Off topic: Many readers don’t know the names of the protagonist’s biological sister and brother, so I have to popularize them, otherwise my writing would be a failure.
The eldest is Qin Xue, the second is Qin Xia, the third is Qin Mang, and the fourth is Qin Han. Qin Feng was added at the end. So far, only one reader has accurately said it, so I have to give him a thumbs up!
Text: Three days passed in a flash. During these days, Lin Wanru stayed with Xie Yuwei whenever she had the chance. She would rush over to do whatever work Xie Yuwei was doing.
Even though the well water was warm, she was washing clothes in the middle of winter, but her eyes were still red from the cold as she hadn't washed clothes herself for a long time.
Fortunately, with Qin Han's spiritual water, the redness on his frozen hands disappeared the next day.
It was still snowy outside and the children were playing in the yard and making snowmen.
Qin Han didn't want to play at first, but was pulled over by his brother Qin Xia.
In the yard, the children were making snowmen and having snowball fights, and their laughter, like the sound of gurgling springs, echoed throughout the yard.
Lin Wanru was sitting at the gate, looking at a group of children with innocent smiles on their faces, and she couldn't help but smile too.
She had never thought that one day she would be able to sit in the arms of children and enjoy such family happiness. This was something she dared not even dream of.
Thinking that it was windy outside, Xie Yuwei found a thick coat from her room and put it directly on her biological mother, saying lightly: "Don't catch a cold, there is no village doctor here to treat you!"
Although her tone sounded cold, Lin Wanru could feel the concern from her biological daughter. She turned around happily and looked at Xie Yuwei, then reached out and held her daughter's hand: "Thank you for your concern, Mommy is not cold, you see my hands are still warm."
I don’t know if it’s because Lao Qin’s house is a new one, but even though they are under the same sky, it’s much colder outside than Lao Qin’s house.
This made her wonder if her silly boy was frozen in the deep mountains and forests.
At this time, Jiang Jiabo was still walking deeper into the forest with the villagers. Although he wore the military coat that Qin Jianye had left at home, his nose was still red from the cold.
At the same time, he had to be on guard against Er Gouzi at all times, fearing that it would get close to him.
Once Ergouzi arrived in the mountains, it was as if his nature was completely released. He often ran two miles alone and then came back after several hours.
The two brothers Qin Jiandang and Qin Jianguo were always scared, fearing that they would lose Ergouzi.
Although the Qin family has adopted this dog for less than a year, the dog has developed a deep bond with the Qin family.
Moreover, this dog is very protective of the family and can always help the Qin family drive away all kinds of weirdos.
On the other side, Jiang Yutong, who had just come downstairs, also had a mink coat in her hand. When she saw her mother holding her sister's hand and speaking in a coquettish tone, the smile on her face suddenly disappeared and her eyes dimmed.
During this period, in order to make her biological daughter forgive her and call her mother, Lin Wanru focused almost all her energy on Xie Yuwei, thus ignoring the feelings of her adopted daughter.
At this time Jiang Yimin came in from the back door. He had just tidied up the cellar with his father-in-law and freed up a lot of space.
He was just about to go back to his room to change his dirty coat when he saw Yutong's dim eyes. He was still holding his coat and was about to turn around and go upstairs. He realized something was wrong and immediately called out to his adopted daughter: "Yutong!"
Jiang Yutong stopped when he heard his father's voice: "Dad, what's the matter?"
"Come to my room for a moment, I have something to tell you!" Jiang Yimin also had feelings for this adopted daughter. He didn't want her to feel resentful or think that they didn't love her or care about her anymore just because he and his wife found their biological daughter.
"Yutong, come downstairs!" Lin Wanru heard the two people talking and looked at her adopted daughter with a smile on her face.
Obviously she was still in a good mood because Xie Yuwei took the initiative to care about her. Jiang Yutong called out "Mom" with a smile, then looked at Xie Yuwei again, called her "Sister" obediently, and then followed her father to his room.
In the room, Jiang Yimin took off his coat and put on a brown leather coat: "Yutong, sit down!" He said to his adopted daughter while putting on his clothes.
Although he is already fifty-four years old, he still has a tall and straight figure, and his muscles are no less than those of young people. If he wears glasses, he gives people the feeling that he is a university teacher. With the scholarly air blowing in his face, no one can tell that he is a military general.
Jiang Yutong has always been very obedient to this adoptive father, and no matter what he said, she has never disobeyed his ideas.
Including letting her study at an art college and become a dance teacher in university, all of which were in line with her adoptive father's ideas.
The people she dated were all introduced by her mother through acquaintances. Even if she didn't like the boy at first sight, she still tried to date him for a while.
Whenever her mother talked about the boy's various advantages and looked so happy, she could only hold back and say that she didn't like him.
Fortunately, the boy was a playboy and saw that things were going slowly between her and him, so every time he tried to hold her hand, she would avoid him.
He gradually lost his patience and found a female college student behind her back. Her mother saw this and immediately advised her to break up. Only then did she get rid of the boy she didn't like.
From then on, her mother no longer arranged a date for her, but just asked her to bring anyone she liked home to see.
In short, from childhood to adulthood, she would always follow her family's lead in everything. Even if she was unhappy outside, she would smile when she got home. She had never lost her temper or expressed dissatisfaction.
Because in her opinion, she was lucky to be adopted by such a good family, and her adoptive parents treated her very well.
Therefore, she felt that as long as she was obedient enough and did not cause them any trouble, they would always like her.
But in fact, only she herself knows that she is a person with emotional disorders, so she has secretly seen a psychologist several times.
She also wants to be herself, cry when she wants to cry and laugh when she wants to laugh.
But because of her childhood experiences, she was very afraid that she would be abandoned and sold again, so she could only force herself to be an obedient and sensible child.
Sometimes she particularly hated herself for being so hypocritical, but she didn't have the courage to disobey her family's arrangements, which they thought were good for her, so she could only accept it.
