"Yeah." I walked over to pick up the photo frame, raised my hand to wipe the corners of the photo frame, put it down again, and said to Lin Yi with a smile, "I think you were a little bastard back then, and you would snatch everything from me. I’m really not used to being a big guy.”

"Hmph, who told me that my parents loved you and didn't love me at that time? It made me think that I was not their own. I wanted to run away from home several times." Lin Yi pouted dissatisfied.

"So, you ignored me later and developed such a weird temper?" I teased him.

"That can't be blamed on me. I was young and ignorant at that time, and I could only see the surface of everything." His voice dropped. "In the past few years, I seem to understand your hard work, sister, thank you for all your tolerance when I was young." He smiled and raised his head, his brows beaming with joy.

Ji Dong's words pierced my heart, making me unable to suppress my emotions again, and wept softly.When a person you watched him grow up, how many years later, he will stand in front of you like a mature boy and say, sister, thank you for all your tolerance for me when I was young.It seems that the thousands of melancholy hidden in the bottom of my heart are known to others, so there is no need to hide and support them, because finally there is someone who understands you and stands on the same line as you.

"Sister, don't worry, our family will be fine with me in the future." He opened his arms and said calmly.

I carefully wiped away the tears from the corners of my eyes, and patted his hand off, "What do you mean by having you, don't you still have me? It should be us, and it will never happen again."

"Yes, it's us." Lin Yi grinned and took out a bank card from his pocket, "This is my salary card, here it is for you."

I refused, "I don't want it, you should keep it for your wife, your sister and I are not short of money."

"Hey! Don't underestimate this salary card. It contains my savings for this year!" He glared at me. You go enjoy life."

"Well, I'm in a bad mood." I interlocked my fingers and stretched my fingers, and the knuckles of "Kaka" could be heard endlessly "If you really think I'm in a bad mood, it would be much better if I beat you up .”

Ji Dong took two steps back, "Sister, I'm joking, don't be serious."

I chased after him, "I think we haven't fought in many years, so I should give you a loose skin."

"Don't, then I let you go before, so don't use the pine skin." He took another two steps back, until he retreated outside the door.

Seeing that the goal was achieved, I quickly closed the door with lightning speed, "Well, I'll deal with you later."

"Hey! Sister, don't be like this." Lin Yi slapped hard on the door.

I turned a deaf ear and plunged into the bed, my thoughts confused.I want to cry, I suck my nose for a long time, but there is no tear, I want to laugh, the bitterness raised from the corner of my mouth makes me feel ugly.But what makes me feel uncomfortable is not the taste, I can only suffocate myself in the bed and feel the taste of it.

After dinner, Xu Yan and I took our parents to play mahjong for after-dinner entertainment when we had nothing to do.All the housework was handed over to Comrade Lin, the only pillar of the family.

Holding the bowl in his arms, he stood at the door of the kitchen staring at us bitterly, complaining in his mouth, "Mom and Dad, you are biased, why can my sister play mahjong with you, and I have to wash the dishes."

I picked up a piece of mahjong, "Ah! Nine tubes, bar" happily arranged the mahjong, and took a piece of "Haha, bar head flower" from the back of the mahjong. There was movement from Ji Dong from the other end of the kitchen.

Xu Yan pouted dissatisfiedly, "What are you doing, I beat you a few times, and it was all because of you."

I reached out and beckoned to her, and said with a happy smile, "Hey, give me the money." It is said that people are in good spirits on happy occasions, but no, I am as happy as I am now.

My parents looked at each other and smiled, and silently took out ten yuan each and handed them to me.

I took the money and waved to Xu Yan again, "Oh, Xu Yan, hurry up, I'm still waiting for the next blow!"

Xu Yan gave me an angry look, "I owe you one, and I'll pay you later." She whispered, "I still don't believe I can't play cards today."

"Don't worry, there will be times when you play cards." I winked at her.

However, in the next second, my mother excitedly took a card and slapped it on the table, "Nonsense..."

Xu Yan looked at me in frustration, "Ah, Lin Xi, why is it always me who loses?"

……

A few hours later, when I was holding Zheng Huan, who had won the money, Xu Yan jumped up from behind to snatch it, and I dodged it.Sitting on the sofa, Lin Yi watched us wrestling with greedy eyes, and couldn't help but said, "I said sisters, can you give me a reward for the money you won, anyway, I have no credit for your empty slots in playing mahjong." Hard work."

I took out a ten-yuan one and handed it over, "Here, don't say your sister is stingy."

Xu Yan stretched out her hand unwillingly, "Ah... Lin Xi, I hate you."

I proudly shook the money in my hand, "Hate it, hate it, sister is not afraid..."

My parents shook their heads helplessly, and sat on the sofa watching me laughing with Xu Yan, as if they hadn't been this happy for a long time, and they were so happy from ear to ear.

Ji Dong was crying, "No, sister, you won more than 100 yuan, and you only gave me ten yuan, which is not enough for me to buy water."

"It's good if you have it. If you don't want it, just return it to me."
"No way, sister, when did you become so picky?"

"I've always been picky." I glanced at Lin Yi, and happily put away the money. "It's getting late, I'm going to bed."

I dragged Xu Yan, who was full of reluctance, back to the room, "Mom and Dad, you should go to bed earlier."

After returning to the room, Xu Yan and I looked at each other for two seconds and clapped our hands at the same time, "Yeah! Success."

I took two quick steps and fell down on the spacious and comfortable bed, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Everything about today was actually discussed by Xu Yan and I a long time ago. Due to my poor performance in the past few years, in order to mediate the atmosphere, Xu Yan specially formulated a plan A with me.

One, get up early every morning to take a walk with my parents.

Second, entertain parents every day, including playing chess, mahjong, and square dancing.

Three, chat with parents, go shopping, have a massage when you are free, and help them enjoy life.

The above three items were formulated by me and Xu Yan after several morning investigations when we were in Jiangzhou, so that they are now implemented with ease.As for Ji Dong, it was a complete accident, not in our consideration. If we want to count it, it can be regarded as the flavoring agent of life at most, a joke for our entertainment after dinner.

"Hey! Lin Xi, didn't you realize that uncles and aunts are very happy when you come back this time?" Xu Yan came over and lay down beside me.

"Yeah" I nodded.

"To be honest, it's the first time I've seen them so happy in the past four years." Xu Yan talked eloquently, "Look, at each year's end of the past four years, didn't you spend time with me in your little shabby house? Uncles and aunts lived with us in the past. At that time, you were like a dead corn all day long, and the people around you who were kind to you were all overwhelmed, and you seemed to be okay. Oops! Seriously, compare In the days before, I still like the present, look at the family reunion, how lively it is."

"Yeah, I think so too." I couldn't refute Xu Yan's words, because I didn't even know what I was like in the past four years.

"But, I've finally made it through now." Xu Yan patted my shoulder and continued, "I hope our life will get better and better in the future."

"Well, yes." The end of the topic ended in the silence between the two of us.

This night, we slept very deeply, as if we haven't slept so well for a long time.When I woke up the next day, the sky was bright.

In the living room, my mother is setting the dishes, while my father is still sitting on the sofa and flipping through the newspaper.I stepped on the slippers and rubbed my sleepy eyes, "Morning."

Mom warmly greeted, "Xiao Xi, wake up, go wash up, breakfast is ready, I'll call Xiaoyan."

"Okay." Looking at the delicious food on the table, my appetite suddenly came up, and I squinted my eyes and rushed to the bathroom.

After washing up, Xu Yan was already dressed and sitting at the dining table, ready to serve her chopsticks.

I walked over to stop her in three steps and two steps at a time, "I haven't washed my face or brushed my teeth, so I won't eat it."

Xu Yan winked at me aggrievedly, "Can't I wash it after I eat it?"

"No." I shook my head firmly.

My parents stopped holding the chopsticks at the same time, and looked back and forth at Xu Yan and me. After watching for a long time, I thought we had a conflict, and my mother tried to persuade me, "Xiaoxi, Xiaoyan is a guest, and you can do everything. Hold back."

"Huh!" Xu Yan made a yes gesture.

Reluctantly, I replied "Oh, I see." I picked up the chopsticks on the table and started eating on my own.

Xu Yan knew she was wrong, put down her chopsticks, and went to the bathroom.

Coincidentally at this time, Lin Yi, who was wrapped in a large padded jacket, came in from outside with a large bag of things. "I just happened to be hungry." He put the things on the sofa and walked over.

Mom helped him fill a bowl of porridge from the rice cooker and handed it over, asking, "Have you bought everything?"

Lin Yi took off the padded jacket wrapped around his body, took the porridge handed over by his mother, and couldn't wait to take a big sip before replying, "Okay."

"What did you buy!" Looking at the big black bag on the sofa, I asked curiously.

"Food, mom, she was afraid that you and sister Xu Yan would be bored at home, so she asked me to get up early in the morning to help you buy it." He sighed, "It's good to be a girl after all, I, a son, can't envy you."

My mother reprimanded angrily, "You brat, what nonsense, your sister and the others rarely come back, I feel bad."

"Yes, your heart is distressed. Anyway, it's rare for me to come back. Why don't I see you, my heart is distressed." Lin Yi whispered.

"A son is not as good as a daughter." My mother raised her hand and stroked the broken hair on my forehead. Wrinkles appeared on my face that was getting thinner day by day.

The porridge I had just swallowed down my throat was spurted out by my mother's conversation with Jiong Yi, and my shoulders trembled as I laughed.

Xu Yan came out of the wash, and seeing this scene, her plain and fair face without a trace of makeup was full of doubts. She picked up her chopsticks and looked at me, "Lin Xi, are you stupid? Laughing like this."

I didn't make a sound, I raised my eyes to look at Lin Yi, who was so angry that his face was like a pig's liver, and I was so unhappy.

"Forget it, forget it, pretend I didn't say it." Lin Yi drank the remaining porridge in the bowl in one gulp, grabbed two buns, and went back to the room. When he left, he didn't forget to shake the buns in front of his mother, discouraged Said, "So, my son should hide in the room and eat."

My mother watched Lin Yi disappear into the living room, and laughed and scolded, "Stinky boy, when did you get so angry."

After breakfast, my father went to work as usual, and my mother was busy preparing the New Year's goods in the kitchen.Fearing that Xu Yan and I would be tired, after Dad left, he sent Xu Yan and me away.The reason is that Xu Yan has been in Beijing for so long and hasn't had a good time shopping, so I asked her to take her around the city.
