Lin Xiaoxiao said: "I received a call this morning and learned that the house was completed. I discussed it with my eldest and second brothers and then came back."
"Huh?" Zhang Xiu was a little surprised when she understood what Lin Xiaoxiao meant. "Are you planning to put up the beams today? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Who doesn’t choose a date in advance and then notify their relatives and friends?
This time, Lin Rui continued, "Aunt, you know, my brother and I don't have many relatives to interact with, so there's no one to notify. It doesn't make any difference whether it's a day earlier or later."
Zhang Xiu sighed, "That's true."
As if she suddenly thought of something, she said, "Speaking of this, I remember something. Some time ago, someone came to our village to ask about you. I saw that person, and he looked a bit like your aunt. As you know, you haven't been in contact for many years. I haven't seen them for many years, so I don't dare to recognize them."
When Lin Xiaoxiao's parents got into trouble, everyone was afraid that the three siblings would become their family's scapegoat, so everyone stayed away from them and wanted to avoid the village.
The person who came that time was most likely Lin Xiaoxiao's aunt. She heard that the brother and sister were living a better life now, so she wanted to come and become relatives.
Lin Rui and Lin Xiaoxiao looked at each other, and they had the same idea as Zhang Xiu.
But that's not the important thing right now.
Zhang Xiu obviously understood this, and she said to Zhang Xiaojuan cheerfully, "Xiaojuan, please help me return the hoe. I'll go talk to Li Kuaizui and the villagers about this and tell them to come pick up some candy."
She then said to Lin Rui and Lin Xiaoxiao, "You should get busy with your own things! Don't stand here, you'll be late."
"Thank you for your help, auntie." Lin Xiaoxiao said gratefully.
"Why are you saying such polite things?" Zhang Xiu said, and strode back to the village.
Zhang Xiaojuan was not idle either. She picked up Zhang Xiu's hoe and took it back to Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu has a strong ability to spread information. Just after she entered the village, several children ran out of the village shouting.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaoxiao and Lin Rui hurried to the new house. The people who built the house were surprised that Lin Xiaoxiao and her brother were so quick. Lin Xiaoxiao gave everyone candy. Everyone was very happy, but few people were willing to eat it. They all put the candy in their pockets, probably wanting to take it back for their children.
The house had only a frame built and the gate had not been installed yet, but more and more people came and happily gathered in the yard waiting for the wedding candies to be distributed.
Lin Xiaoxiao was standing upstairs and could see quite far away. She saw Zhang Xiu and Zhang Xiaojuan coming out of the village, accompanied by Li Kuaizui, so she came down from upstairs.
These children had never seen the small Western-style building before. When they saw Lin Xiaoxiao coming down the stairs, they wanted to go up the stairs to take a look, but were stopped by Lin Xiaoxiao.
The house has not been renovated yet and the stairs have no handrails. These children are crowding around and it is easy for them to fall down the stairs if they go up. Then the happy event will turn into a bad one.
So Lin Xiaoxiao simply stood at the stairs and watched the children who wanted to go upstairs.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd said something sarcastically, "What's so great about building a building? If people can't go up to it, only the ignorant kids want to see it. Who else wants to see it?"
Lin Xiaoxiao immediately recognized the owner of the voice, it was Qiangqiang's mother. She thought that the two families were not getting along, and she didn't want to take advantage of this opportunity.
