"Sister, do you want to eat popsicles? I'll buy you one!"
Although Ling Li is still a little chubby, he is much better than a few years ago and looks like a young boy now.
However, Ling Li is not as good as his other brothers in other aspects. All he can think about is giving his sister delicious food.
As soon as he finished speaking, before Xiao Linglong could respond, his grandmother slapped him on the back, neither too hard nor too light.
"Your sister's health is the worst in the summer, and she can't eat anything so cold. Don't deliberately seduce her!"
This is also a difficult point.
Xiao Linglong has always been in good health, especially in winter when many children are prone to getting sick, but Xiao Linglong is not.
But Xiao Linglong's health is at its worst in summer. Getting prickly heat is a small matter, but it is very easy to get a fever and get sick in summer, which is hard to guard against.
In the summer, the Ling family never allowed little Linglong to eat popsicles.
"If you're hungry, go eat it yourself, but don't let your sister see you!" Ling Lin quickly took Ling Xiaosi aside while his younger sister was playing with Xiaowu.
Xiao Linglong has always been very obedient and usually won't force herself to eat something she is not allowed to eat. But if she eats in front of her, she will feel very uncomfortable.
Summer is already very hot, so I must envy others for being able to eat something cool.
"I, I don't want to eat. I'm just afraid that my sister will get hot... I don't want to eat anymore! I definitely won't let my sister see it!" Ling Li waved his hands quickly.
Eating popsicles is not as important as my sister.
"Okay, the weather is indeed hot. If you want to eat, just go and eat by yourself. It's okay." Chu Yuefang said with a smile.
But Ling Li still shook his head.
His sister can’t eat it, so it would be too unfair to her if he ate it himself.
He won't lose a single piece of meat even if he doesn't eat.
Anyway, my sister is more important~
Seeing her son insisting on not eating the popsicle with a serious face as if something was very serious, Chu Yuefang couldn't help but find it funny.
However, the sons in the family do put their younger sister first. After several years, no son has said that he doesn't like his younger sister.
When they first adopted Xiao Linglong, the couple worried that if their sons lost their interest in their sister, they might treat this non-blood-related sister badly.
But now it's all in vain.
"Aunt Fang~Aunt Fang~"
Chu Yuefang heard the sound coming from outside and lifted the bamboo curtain at the door, and saw Xu Xiangru coming over, as well as Xu Xiangru and Su Baoshan's daughter Su Xiuxiu.
Su Xiuxiu is about the same age as Xiao Linglong, but she is taller and thinner. She has a pretty nose and eyes, but she doesn't look as blessed as Xiao Linglong.
Chu Yuefang was not surprised at all that the mother and daughter came.
The year after adopting Xiao Linglong, Old Lady Su forced her son and daughter-in-law to quickly give birth to a son to carry on the Su family line. But now, several years have passed, and there is no movement in Xu Xiangru's belly.
Old Mrs. Su's patience has been exhausted. She lives at her eldest son's house for half a year out of the year, and for the other half she lives here, quarreling with Xu Xiangru every day. Su Baoshan suffers from being caught in the middle.
In addition, Mrs. Su had recently learned that Xu Xiangru could not have children anymore. She almost fainted from anger. After she recovered, she thought of letting Su Baoshan and Xu Xiangru divorce. Su Baoshan really couldn't bear it, and he couldn't quarrel with his old mother, so he could only follow people from other villages to work outside.
Now that Old Lady Su is beating chickens and scolding ducks at home every day, Xu Xiangru can only bring her daughter here to hide.
When Su Xiuxiu saw Chu Yuefang, she rushed over and hugged her legs: "Aunt Fang, Aunt Fang~ Xiuxiu missed you~"
Su Xiuxiu didn't know what was going on. Every time she saw Chu Yuefang, she seemed to be very affectionate to her. Sometimes even Xu Xiangru felt strange when she saw it.
Although Chu Yuefang already has her own little daughter and doesn't like Su Xiuxiu as much as she did when she was just born, she is still the daughter of her old friend after all, not to mention her neighbor. In addition, Su Xiuxiu loves to act coquettishly, so she really can't be cold to her.
Smiling, he nodded Su Xiuxiu's head silently: "It's hot outside, go in and play with your sister."
As soon as she opened the door, Su Xiuxiu felt a gust of wind blowing towards her, and envy and a hint of jealousy appeared in her eyes.
The Ling family's life is much better than theirs. Even though the Ling family has many children, they live a very good life. In addition, after the resumption of the college entrance examination, many people have begun to attach importance to studying and firmly believe that "knowledge can change destiny." The reputation and prestige of teachers are particularly high, and the corresponding welfare benefits have also been improved.
Two years ago, the Donghu Town Committee arranged an inspection and felt that Huaihe Village had the best geographical environment, with fertile mountains and beautiful waters, and ready-made vacant land that could be used directly.
Less than a month after the inspection, people were sent to build a fairly large primary school, Donghu Town Central Primary School, less than three miles outside the entrance of Huaihe Village, and merged the primary schools in three or four nearby villages.
Chu Yuefang is now a Chinese teacher at the Central Primary School. She is in charge of grades one to three. Ling Hancheng is even more capable. Because he is a good teacher and has high prestige, he is now the vice principal of Donghu Town Central Primary School and also serves as a mathematics and Chinese teacher. Although he is titled as vice principal, the principal is actually an old teacher in his sixties. He just thinks that Ling Hancheng is younger after all, so he wants to let him take over in a few years.
Now the central primary school is almost entirely managed by Ling Hancheng, and even the salary standards are arranged according to the principal's standards.
Su Xiuxiu heard from her mother that the welfare allowances for these two people combined now amount to about 120 to 130 yuan a month.
In addition, the Ling family has a large population and they have not given up their land, so they have earned a lot of grain this year.
Just based on these, how could the Ling family not live a comfortable life?
The Su family only dared to turn on the lights for two hours at night after they connected the electrical wires, and that was only when they had something to do. Otherwise, they would only light kerosene lamps or candles. The light was so dim that it made people's eyes sore, and they couldn't even think of turning on electric fans.
But the life of the Ling family is completely different from that of the Su family.
Their house is brightly lit at night, and the electric fan never stops in the summer. This electric fan is also different from ordinary ones. It was sent back from Beijing by the eldest son of the Ling family. The wind power is much stronger than what others can buy in the town.
The Ling family stews chickens and slaughters pigs every Chinese New Year, and the aroma can be smelled for ten miles.
Although they are separated by a wall, the Su family and the Ling family are completely different.
Especially Ling Long, who is the same age as Su Xiuxiu in the Ling family. Her little skirts are always so beautiful, and she always has delicious snacks. She is spoiled by her grandmother and parents, and the sons of the Ling family can't wait to hold their sister in their hands.
Every time Su Xiuxiu saw Ling Long, who was like the moon surrounded by stars, she couldn't help but think of everything she had dreamed of...
