Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

"Okay, Mom, then you go pick up Yaozu, I'll go by myself."

"Okay, Xiaodang, what do you want to eat? I'll make it for you after I pick up Yaozu."

"Mom, let's make dumplings. I didn't get to eat those dumplings last year, and I've been thinking about them all the time."

Qin Huairu nodded, "Okay, then Mom will make dumplings and invite Huaihua to come over in the evening, so that our family can be reunited."

Xiaodang went out with the money to buy clothes. Qin Huairu gave him a few hundred yuan. Xiaodang cried for a while in the corridor with the money. Just then, Ma Dongmei came down after cleaning.

"Xiaodang, why are you in the corridor? Why are you crying again? Doesn't your mother want you?"

"No, aunt, I feel bad. I feel bad for my mother. My mother's health was not good to begin with. It was not easy for her to raise us. I failed to be filial to her. Now I have to rely on my mother. I feel bad for her."

"There's nothing to worry about. If you want to be filial to your mother, just work hard in the future. As long as you work hard, your life will definitely be better."

"Um"

Ma Dongmei went to another building to check on the wine she bought and cleaned the building at the same time.

Xiaodang took the bus to the mall to buy clothes.

After Jia Zhang woke up, she asked Qin Huairu, "Where is Xiaodang? Isn't this child gone again?"

"No, she had nothing to wear. The clothes she was wearing were still Ma Dongmei's. I gave her some money and asked her to buy some clothes."

"That's fine, Huairu. Why is life so hard for our Jia family? We suffered a lot when Banggeng went to the countryside, and now we have to suffer as a child."

"Mom, after all the hardship comes happiness. Besides, if it weren't for that incident, Banggeng wouldn't be as successful as he is now. And Xiaodang, I see he has grown up. Everything will be fine in the future."

Qin Huairu was just trying to comfort Jia Zhang. She was heartbroken by the incident with Banggeng, and he had a near-death experience. She would rather suffer that for her son than let him go through that.

Her son is sensible now, but it still makes her feel distressed. She would rather suffer a little more and be more tired.

Now her daughter has gone through the same thing again, and she feels heartbroken as if a knife is cutting her heart.

"Huai Ru, I don't know if Xiao Dang is willing to get married again in the future. Living in her parents' home is not a good idea. It's tiring enough for us to support Bang Geng, and now Xiao Dang has to join us... Sigh"

"Even if Banggeng has no objection, what about Pangya? Her family is already pretty good, and now her sister-in-law is here again. Will she have any objection? Don't let things end badly."

"Mom, I understand what you said, but Xiaodang is also my flesh and blood. She has just been through this and now has nowhere to go. I can't force her to get married."

"Xiao Dang is still young. I will talk to her tonight and ask her to find a job first to give her family some living expenses. I believe Pang Ya won't say anything. If it really doesn't work out, let Xiao Dang live in the courtyard."

Jia Zhang said, "Let's leave it at that for now."

"Mom, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to pick up Yaozu."

In the afternoon, Banggeng and Pangya came back, and Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu told them about Xiaodang.

Pang Ya didn't express her opinion, but looked at Bang Geng, who didn't say anything.

Qin Huairu said, "Great! Let Xiaodang stay for a while. She has nowhere to go now, and she knows she is wrong."

"Mom, what are you talking about? When did I stop letting her live here? I'm her brother and she's my biological sister. This is her home and she can stay here as long as she wants."

Pang Ya was hesitant to speak, but she would not object to what Banggeng decided. She knew that she was not worthy of Banggeng, and her family was more powerful back then. So she was willing to help Banggeng lose weight and was also willing to listen to Banggeng.

"That's good. If you didn't say anything, I thought you were still angry with your sister."

"No, Mom, how could that be? Xiaodang is my biological sister. You were at work at that time, but I was the one who brought her up. I won't argue with her over such a small matter."

"I was silent because I was thinking about how to deal with Wu Jianguo. My sister married him, and her business failed. He blamed everything on my sister and even kicked her out. She almost froze to death on the street. I can't let him get away with it like this."

"By the way, where's Xiaodang? It shouldn't take so long to buy clothes. I usually get off work late, and the mall is closed now, so he should be back early, right?"

"She just went out to buy clothes. Where else could she go? She's not going to stay away from you, is she?"

"Mom, don't worry. Xiaodang wants to eat dumplings. Go make some first. I'll go downstairs and take a look. Maybe he didn't get on the bus."

Banggeng put on his clothes again, and Pangya quickly put on his clothes as well, "I'll go with you."

The two of them went out, and Xiaodang was found sitting in the corridor, holding clothes and fruit snacks in his hands.

Xiaodang came back almost at the same time as Banggeng, but she didn't know whether Banggeng would accept her. She also felt a little sorry for Banggeng, so she didn't dare to enter the house and kept thinking about how to apologize to Banggeng.

Hearing the footsteps, Xiaodang looked back and found it was Banggeng, then he stood up.

"Brother," then she lowered her head and tears began to fall.

"Xiaodang, girl, why don't you come in when you come back? Mom is so worried. Come back with me." Banggeng hurried over and took Xiaodang's hand.

"Brother, I'm sorry"

"You are my sister. There is nothing to feel sorry for. Just go home quickly," he said, holding Xiaodang's cold hand.

Although Xiaodang's hands were cold, she felt warm in her heart, and Banggeng did not drive her away as he had expected.

"Brother, I was wrong"

"It's not a bad thing, let's go home first," Banggeng took the things from Xiaodang's hand and took Xiaodang home.

After entering the door, Banggeng picked up Xiaodang's hand. He felt something was wrong when he held Xiaodang's hand just now. Now he saw that Xiaodang's hands were full of cuts and frostbite, and there was water on the frostbite.

Banggeng swore in his heart that he would make his ex-brother-in-law Wu Jianguo look bad.

"Xiaodang, please sit down for a while and eat dumplings later. I'll go inform Huaihua. She will definitely be very happy to know that you are back. Our whole family is looking forward to your return."

After saying this, Banggeng went out and went to the eighth floor to inform Huaihua.

Yaozu ran up to Xiaodang and said, "Aunt, you haven't come to see me for a long time. Did I make you angry in the past?"

Xiaodang hugged Yaozu in his arms, "No, Yaozu is very obedient. It was my eldest aunt who was ignorant and made your wife, grandmother and father worried. My eldest aunt went to a very far place. Didn't she come back to see you?"

In a few minutes, Huaihua and her husband followed Banggeng downstairs. Huaihua was already pregnant. Now that they had a house, they wanted to have a child.

When Huaihua walked in and saw Xiaodang, she couldn't help crying and hugged Xiaodang, "Sister, you're back."

Xiaodang felt warm at this moment, her family was thinking about her, "Huaihua, you are pregnant now, you have to be careful, I am sorry for you."

"Sister, there's nothing to be sorry about. We are a family."
