Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I own a department store

"We are used to wearing thick clothes, no..."

"Cold!" Yaomei snuggled into Xu Maoting's arms, holding her lotus-jointed arms tightly around his neck, and said in a sweet voice, "It's cold. But now that I'm being held by my uncle, I'm not cold anymore."

So Xu Maoting hugged Yaomei tighter, so that Dachun, who was on his other leg, almost fell off.

Dachun looked at the fire in confusion.

Why does he feel like his sister is competing with him for favor?

Obviously my sister was not like this before!

What about his innocent and lovely sister who puts her brother first in everything?

Give it back to his sister!

Dachun was filled with tears, but Xu Maoting was still urging: "Dachun, how long will it take for her to recover? I'm afraid that Yaomei will get sick if she catches the wind again."

"Uncle, I am also a child." Dachun complained.

Xu Maoting put him down and stood up with Yaomei in his arms. As he walked into the house, he said, "That's different. You are a boy with strong physical fitness. Yaomei is a girl. Girls have preferential treatment." .”

Dachun wanted to cry.

Obviously other families with girls in the village treat girls badly, but they are always different.

In the past, his mother treated him and Yaomei equally badly. Later, her mother treated him and Yaomei equally well. He never received the preferential treatment that a boy deserves from his parents and grandma.

But now, my uncle said that only girls get preferential treatment!

Dachun was very confused.

But what can be done? My sister must be pampered!

During dinner, Xu Maoting looked at the dishes on the table and didn't know how to take off his chopsticks.

He had just looked carefully and found that there were only four or five chickens and two ducks in the Lin family's chicken coop, but there were enough meat and vegetables on the table for four.

And they are all packed in pots, and the quantity is sufficient.

It’s almost as good as the Xu family’s festive dishes.

Xu Maoting was a little worried that the Lin family had killed all the chickens and ducks in the family just to entertain him.

If this is true, how will the younger sister, her two children, and her mother-in-law live after he leaves?

For a time, Xu Maoting's mind was spinning again and again.

Seeing that he was reluctant to move his chopsticks, Mother Lin couldn't help but urge: "What's wrong? Is it not to your liking?"

"No, no." Xu Maoting shook his head repeatedly.

Xu Wanning guessed his concerns and put a chicken drumstick in his bowl with a smile.

"Eat, this meal won't be enough for us."

Then, she told Xu Maoting about asking for money from the scumbag couple Gu Jun and Li Qianqian.

"At that time, we changed a lot of chickens, ducks and eggs, and the chicken coop at home couldn't fit in it, so my mother-in-law made some soup and planned to send it to Beijing in a while. Now that you are here, you don't have to spend that money. When the time comes, Once you put it in the car, you can take it back."

When Xu Maoting and Minister Zhang came to Heilongjiang this time, they drove public cars with license plates from Beijing.

After hearing what Xu Wanning said, Xu Maoting couldn't help but give her a thumbs up. His little sister is so brave!

However, it is not difficult to tell from her words that Gu Jun and Li Qianqian have bullied her a lot in the past few years.

Although I don’t know how my little sister suddenly became enlightened, I am happy to hear the result.

"I don't like chicken drumsticks. Give this drumstick to Yaomei."

"My mother-in-law made soup with a chicken and a duck. There are four legs in total, one for each of you."

Saying that, Xu Wanning used serving chopsticks to pick up the meatiest leg for each of Dachun Yaomei and Lin's mother.

She was afraid that the two children would fight over each other, so she gave the children duck legs that were almost the same size.

"You don't want to eat?" Xu Maoting frowned.

Xu Wanning smiled and put the four claws and wings into her bowl, "I'll just eat this."

Although there is little meat, it is very soft, glutinous and delicious!

But for people living in the 70s when food was scarce, Xu Wanning's actions were tantamount to giving the good things to them and eating the meatless part themselves.

Seeing that Xu Maoting's chicken legs were about to be put into her bowl, Xu Wanning held the bowl to avoid it: "You eat yours."

It didn't look good to give in at the dinner table, so Xu Maoting had to give up.

"By the way, where is Director Zhang who came with Xiao Lin last time? I didn't see anyone else today."

"Uncle Zhang is going to the city to find an old man. He probably won't be back until tomorrow."

"When he comes back, we must let him come to our house for a meal."

"No problem, I will convey my aunt's wishes to Uncle Zhang."

Mother Lin smiled and muttered: "Why does this Xiao Xu speak so strictly?"

Not interesting at all.

After dinner, Xu Maoting wanted to rush back to the guest house in the town before it was completely dark, but Dachun and Yaomei each held one of his thighs and refused to let go.

Helpless, Xu Maoting had no choice but to stay.

At night, Xu Wanning and Lin's mother squeezed into the same bed, giving her and Lin An's bedroom to Xu Maoting.

Xu Wanning was already lying on the bed, but she saw Mrs. Lin still sitting on the stool, her brows furrowed and her expression looking a little melancholy.

She immediately turned over and asked with concern: "Mom, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

"No, no." Mother Lin glanced at Xu Wanning's face and said cautiously: "Aning, Mom is telling you something, don't be angry."

"Say, I promise you won't be angry."

With Mother Lin's temperament, she really couldn't do anything extraordinary, so Xu Wanning answered without hesitation.

Mother Lin lit the kerosene lamp and took out a package from the cabinet.

The package contained two pieces of clothing, which were obviously the ones she had bought for Dachun and Yaomei before.

However, the style and size of the clothes are obviously not suitable for the two children.

"When Xiao Xu came to the house for the first time, I heard him say that your eldest brother had given birth to a pair of twins. Later I asked more questions, and the two children will be two years old after the Chinese New Year."

"It happened that I had some cotton left over from the cotton-padded jackets I made for you last time, so I thought about making a pair of clothes for the two children. You see, you have been in Dajiang Village for so many years, and all communication with your family depends on writing letters. My eldest brother, You don’t even have the chance to go back and take a look at the child, so you might be worried about it in your heart.”

"I couldn't get anything else out of my house, so I thought about making two cotton-padded jackets. Although they are a bit ugly, no one can tell outsiders are wearing them. These hand-sewn cotton-padded jackets are very warm!"

Mother Lin was still chattering, but Xu Wanning's eyes were already moist.

She didn't know that her eldest brother had given birth to twins before, but after hearing it from her second brother, she thought carefully for a long time and dug out the letters that the Xu family had sent before, only to see a certain date from two years ago. In the letter, my father mentioned it.

Later, I mentioned it several times one after another, for example, the two children could walk, talk, and call them grandparents, but they only occupied a very small space in the entire letter.

The original person only paid attention to how many tickets and things were sent from home every time, and did not care about these things, so Xu Wanning had no memory of this.
