"We're used to it, dress thick, don't ......"

"Cold!" The younger sister snuggled in Xu Maoting's arms, her lotus-like arms tightly wrapped around his neck, and said in a milky voice: "Cold." But now that I'm being held by my uncle, it's not cold. ”

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

Da Chun looked at the fire in confusion.

Why does he have a feeling that his sister is competing with him for favor?

Obviously my sister didn't do this before!

What about his sister who is simple and cute and puts her brother first in everything?

Return his sister!

Da Chun's heart was full of tears, but Xu Maoting was still urging: "Da Chun, how long will it take to get better? I'm afraid that my sister will blow the wind again and get sick." ”

"Uncle, I'm a kid too. Da Chun complained.

Xu Maoting put him down, stood up directly with his sister in his arms, and said while walking into the house: "That's different, you are a boy with strong physical fitness, and your sister is a girl, and girls are given preferential treatment." ”

Da Chun wants to cry.

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

In the past, his mother was equally bad to him and his younger sister, but later, his mother was equally good to him and his younger sister, and he never had the preferential treatment that a boy should have from his parents and grandmother.

And now, my uncle said that only girls have preferential treatment!

Da Chun was very confused.

But what can I do? My sister must be favored!

At dinner, Xu Maoting looked at the table full of dishes and didn't know how to put down the chopsticks.

He had seen it just now, there were only four or five chickens and two ducks in the Lin family's chicken pen, but there were four meat dishes on the table.

And all of them are in pots, and they are sufficient.

It's almost overtaking the dishes of the Xu family during the festival.

Xu Maoting was a little worried, the Lin family was specially entertaining him, so they killed all the chickens and ducks in the family.

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

For a while, Xu Maoting's mind turned and turned.

Seeing that he didn't move his chopsticks for a long time, Lin Mu couldn't help but urge: "What's wrong?"

"No, no. Xu Maoting shook his head again and again.

Xu Wanning guessed the concerns in his heart, and smiled and put a chicken leg in his bowl.

"Eat, this meal will not be exhaustive for us. ”

Then, she told Xu Maoting about asking Gu Jun and Li Qianqian for money for the pair of scumbags and.

"At that time, I changed a lot of chickens, ducks and eggs, and the chicken pen at home couldn't fit it, so my mother-in-law made a part of the soup, which was originally going to be sent to Beijing after a while, but now that you are here, you don't have to spend that money. ”

Xu Maoting and Minister Zhang came to Hei Province this time, driving a public car, and the license plate numbers were all from Beijing.

After listening to Xu Wanning's words, Xu Maoting couldn't help but give her a thumbs up, his little sister is so brave!

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

Although I don't know why the little sister suddenly opened up, the result is gratifying.

"I don't like to eat chicken legs, give this chicken leg to my sister. ”

"Mother-in-law soup a chicken and a duck, a total of four legs, one for each of you. ”

Saying that, Xu Wanning used chopsticks to clip the meatiest leg for Da Chun's sister and Lin Mu.

She was afraid that the two children would fight, so she gave the children duck legs of almost the same size.

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

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

Don't look at the lack of meat, but it is very soft and glutinous!

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

Seeing that Xu Maoting's chicken leg was about to be put into her bowl, Xu Wanning held the bowl and avoided it: "You eat yours." ”

It's really not nice to let it go at the dinner table, so Xu Maoting had to give up.

"By the way, what about Minister 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 fellow, and he estimates that he won't be able to come back until tomorrow. ”

"When he comes back, I must let him come to the house for a meal. ”

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

Lin Mu smiled and muttered: "This Xiao Xu, how can you speak with a clear eye?"

It's not interesting at all.

After dinner, Xu Maoting wanted to rush back to the town's guest house while it was not completely dark, but Da Chun and his sister each hugged one of his thighs and said that they would not let go.

Helpless, Xu Maoting had no choice but to stay.

At night, Xu Wanning and Lin's mother squeezed into a bed and gave up her and Lin An's bedroom to Xu Maoting.

Xu Wanning was lying on the bed, but she saw that Mother Lin was still sitting on the stool, her brows were furrowed, and her expression looked a little melancholy.

She immediately rolled over and asked with concern, "Mom, are you uncomfortable?"

"No, no, no. Mother Lin glanced at Xu Wanning's face and said cautiously: "A-Ning, Mom told you something, don't be angry." ”

"You say, I promise you not to be angry. ”

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

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

The package contained two pieces of clothing, which were the cloth she had bought for Da Chun and her younger sister.

It's just that 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 gave birth to a pair of twins, and then I asked more, and the two children will be two years old after the New Year. ”

"It just so happened that there was some cotton left over from the last time I made you a padded jacket, so I thought about making clothes for the two children. Look at you, I've been in Dajiang Village for so many years, and the communication with my family depends on writing letters, and you don't have a chance to go back and take a look when your eldest brother gives birth to a child, so you don't know how to remember it in your heart. ”

"I can't get anything else at home, so I thought about making two padded jackets, although they are a little ugly, but they can't be seen by outsiders when they are worn inside. This hand-sewn padded jacket is warm!"

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

The eldest brother gave birth to twins, she didn't know before, but after listening to the second brother, she thought about it carefully for a long time, and then turned out the letter sent by the Xu family before, only to see that in a letter two years ago, her father mentioned it.

Later, it was mentioned several times one after another, such as the two children can walk, can talk and call grandparents, but it only takes up a small space in the whole letter.

As for the original body, he only pays attention to how many tickets and things are sent by his family every time, and he doesn't care about these things, so Xu Wanning has no memory of this.
