The twins called out "Uncle" obediently.
The two identical girls stood there gracefully. Yuanyuan was no longer as noisy as usual and was well behaved. It was really pleasing to look at.
"Yes, yes." Xiao Tiechui responded hurriedly, then took out the red envelopes he had prepared and handed them to Tuantuan and Yuanyuan, "This is the first time I've seen you since you were all grown up. Take it, just consider it a meeting gift."
Tuantuan and Yuanyuan politely refused, but only after their father told them to take them did they accept them.
After receiving the red envelope, Tuan Tuan Yuan Yuan left obediently.
Xiao Zheng couldn't help but take a few more glances at the twin girls. Why did they look like two groups?
"Third brother, here are two red envelopes, for Dongdong and Laoxiao..."
"Dongdong is in school, and the old and the young are sleeping." Xiao Zheng glanced at An Hua.
An Hua smiled and said, "Then I'll help them collect it first."
Xiao Zheng looked at the time. "Brother, I have to go to work. You can go around in the afternoon. If you want to buy something from the provincial capital, just find my wife. She will tell you where to buy it. When I come back in the evening, we can have a couple of drinks."
When Xiao Tiechui saw Xiao Zheng stand up, he also stood up and sent Xiao Zheng out the door.
An Hua found him timid and submissive, which was strange, because the Xiao Tiechui she saw when she went back to her hometown before was not like this.
"Brother, don't be restrained. Treat this place as your home." An Hua said politely, and then asked: "Where do you want to go this afternoon? I'll let Caiyan accompany you. You know Caiyan, right? She's from the same village as you two."
Xiao Tiechui: "Let's get to know each other! I won't go shopping this afternoon. When I leave tomorrow, I can just buy some snacks nearby and bring them back for my grandson."
An Hua asked again: "Does Dad live alone now, or does he live with you guys?"
Xiao Tiechui: "He has lived with us since 2000. I saw that his rooms were in a very dilapidated state and I thought it was unnecessary to renovate them since we already have a house. But he refused to move in at first, so my eldest son and I carried him over."
An Hua chatted with Xiao Tiechui for a while, then asked Cai Yan to take him for a stroll in the compound.
That night, Xiao Zheng and Xiao Tiechui had a few drinks. As they drank, Xiao Zheng seemed to have forgotten the thing he had always cared about, and the drink brought out some brotherhood.
Xiao Tiechui left the next day, and Xiao Zheng asked An Hua to pack some things for him, including food and clothes.
Xiao Tiechui carried the sack on his back and went back carrying the sack on his back.
Xiao Tieniu knew that Xiao Tiechui had moved to the provincial capital and had been keeping an eye on him. He felt very jealous and started scolding him when he got home.
"That bastard Xiao Tiezhu, back then I asked him to help my kid enlist in the army but he refused, but now he is eager to help my old man's kid become a soldier and even gives my old man so many things! It's obvious that he doesn't take me, his big brother, seriously!"
Xiao Tieniu complained whenever he had time these years, and Xiao Dasao's ears were callused from hearing it. "Our child has one long leg and one short leg... In my opinion, my third brother is pretty good. Our Cui'er was able to marry someone from the city only because of her third uncle."
"How dare you mention that girl! It was all instigated by her third uncle. Now she doesn't even take me, her father, seriously! Also, I've said it before, it's useless for a daughter to become successful. Look at her. How did she benefit us?"
"Are you blind? If you just scratch around in our house, you can find the things Cui'er sent us!" Mrs. Xiao was getting more and more annoyed with Xiao Tieniu. She said, "I'll tell Cui'er that her father doesn't care about her things, and ask her not to send them anymore. Let's see if you can still smoke filtered cigarettes!"
Xiao Tieniu choked and said nothing.
Just then, Xiao Tiechui came.
Xiao Tieniu didn't like him and whenever he saw him, he would pour the water in the teacup onto the ground.
Xiao Tiechui didn't care and got straight to the point. "For the sake of our relationship as brothers, I'll tell you something frankly. It's a great honor for our Xiao family to have a man like our third brother. As his brothers, we can benefit from it, but what happened back then..."
Before he could finish his words, Xiao Tieniu interrupted excitedly, "What happened back then? If Dad hadn't favored him, would we have been able to come up with such a plan?"
Xiao Tiechui smiled and said, "You and I both know exactly what happened. Doing something wrong is one thing, but not believing you did anything wrong is another.
I came here today just to say that the past is in the past, the key is to look at the future, if you continue to do this and you don't care about Dad, then among the three of us brothers, your family will have the worst life and your descendants will be the most useless! "
After saying that, Xiao Tiechui left. This was the first and last time he told Xiao Tieniu these things, and it was up to him whether he would listen or not.
It was with great effort that our family produced a high-ranking official like our third brother, but he doesn't think about how to take advantage of the situation and instead just wants to go against others. How many fools like him can you find in the world?
Xiao Tiechui knew that Xiao Tieniu ignored his father just to spite Xiao Zheng, and hoped that Xiao Zheng would ask him to take care of his father.
In the past, Xiao Tieniu wanted Xiao Tiechui to stand on the same front with him, but Xiao Tiechui ignored him, so Xiao Tieniu's plan did not succeed.
