Rebirth, the childhood sweetheart turned out to be my sister

In the end, the old lady made a pot of tea. Xu Luo and Jiang Yao were okay, but Su Su drank it with a sad face. For a child who has just entered first grade, drinking tea is almost like drinking medicine.

"By the way, grandma, where are my uncle and cousin? Why haven't I seen them yet?"

"They went to work on the wedding venue. Su Su is staying at my place these days. Your cousin will get married the day after tomorrow."

"Your cousin is six years older than you. According to the village, it is a bit late to get married this year. Xiaoluo, don't imitate your cousin. He is almost thirty and your family is forcing you to get married..."

While the old lady was talking, she looked at Xu Luo and Jiang Yao opposite her. The look on her face made her ask, "When are you two going to get your certificates?"

"I'm not in a hurry. I'm not old enough to get a marriage certificate yet..."

"You can hold the wedding first and then get the certificate. Let me tell you, your grandpa, your uncle and your aunt and I were all like this at that time..."

The old lady muttered a lot of things again, from when she was young to now, but she didn't say anything about Xu Luo's mother.

In fact, the old lady is very obviously partial, and she is the kind that everyone in the family knows and does not object to. She used to favor her youngest daughter very much.

When Su Ho was young, their family had always been "valuing girls over boys", but at that time, it was a very unusual thing in the village for their daughter to go to school with boys of the same age. Many people are muttering behind my back, saying openly or covertly that "it's a waste of money for girls to study" and "it's better to get married early."

At that time, it was difficult for any family. In many families, even boys could not go to school, let alone girls. Most of them worked at home doing farm work or taking care of children. Except for the woman who was the village party secretary, only her family knew how to go to school. To send her daughter to school, Grandma Xu Luo and her family were famous as "school-going households" in several surrounding villages.

Regarding the marriage of sons and daughters, the opinions of the elderly are completely different. The former can get married after they are over 18 years old. If they are not married before they are over 20 years old, they will rush to get married. However, their children hope to get married later.

People of her generation rarely marry outsiders. The elderly are worried that their daughter's family will be wronged by her husband's family after marriage. Su Ho has such a good temper that he usually doesn't even quarrel. What if he meets a very evil mother-in-law? , shouldn’t you be angry for the rest of your life?

Later, when her son and daughter grew up, got married and had children, she preferred her grandson to her grandson. This preference became even greater after the death of her daughter.

The old man actually felt very guilty about his well-behaved but short-lived daughter. Back then, because the family conditions were not good and there were two children going to school, his daughter had the opportunity to go to a junior college.

To be honest, junior colleges in the 70s were really valuable.

But the tuition fees at that time were too expensive and the family really couldn't afford it. So, in order to support her younger brother in high school, Su Ho, who was not yet an adult, offered to go out to work. Neither she nor her uncle Xu Luo wanted to accept it, but they couldn't stand it. Because of this incident, the old man has always felt guilty.

"Dad, Mom, I don't want to go to school... I'm going to work outside..."

This sentence has been remembered by their family for most of their lives.

Ever since his daughter left, the old man would often dream about what happened back then in the middle of the night, and he couldn't help crying secretly every time.

Later, the old man seemed to plan to put all his feelings for his daughter on the only son she had left in the world, and wished he could leave all the best things to him.

Originally, today was the day when the parents of both parties met to discuss the specific procedures of the wedding. As usual, as the oldest person in the family, she was going to go, but she happened to see Xu Luo coming back today.

So she immediately decided not to go and insisted on staying at home.

……

"Xiaoluo, how many days do you plan to stay here?"

After withdrawing her thoughts, the old lady looked at Xu Luo and asked cautiously.

"...After my cousin gets married, let's stay a few more days. The university has a long winter vacation. Besides, I don't usually have the chance to come and stay a few more days."

"Where's Xiao Jiang? Are you coming too?"

"Well, if you don't mind it, grandma," Jiang Yao said a little embarrassed.

"I don't mind it, I don't mind it. There's not much else here, old lady, there are just a lot of rooms. You can follow Xiaoluo to pick a room later."

At this moment, the old man suddenly realized something.

"By the way, Xiaojiang, do you sleep with Xiaoluo or sleep separately?"

Xu Luo was the first to answer: "...I have no objection to this, just obey the adjustment."

After saying that, he glanced at Jiang Yao beside him. The little girl glared at him with a red face, and then explained: "I, of course we slept separately."

"That's it...then I'll give you a thick quilt, so you won't be cold at night."

At this time, Su Su's eyes, which had been drinking tea with a grimace, suddenly lit up. The little girl hugged Xu Luo's arm and jumped on the spot anxiously.

"Me, me...and me, I want to sleep with brother Xiaozhou!"

Jiang Yao suddenly regretted her refusal just now.

……

"Why are you causing trouble? How old are girls? You want to sleep with your brother Xiaoluo?"

Su Su pursed her lips and said unconvinced: "I'm only seven years old..."

"That won't work either. Men and women are not allowed to be intimate. Don't disturb your brother Xiaoluo at night. Do you understand?"

"Oh……"

The little girl agreed on the surface, but she had already started planning a night attack in her heart.

……

After eating, it was already half past eight in the evening, and the two briefly chatted with the old man about school.

The old man goes to bed very early at night, and nine o'clock is already too late.

At around nine o'clock, the four of them went back to their rooms to sleep. Su Su slept with the old lady in the west room, while Xu Luo and Jiang Yao slept in two rooms in the south room, which was next door.

It was a high-speed train and a bus ride. Xu Luo didn't sleep a wink all day.

After brushing his teeth and washing his face, the young man was just about to lie down on the bed and sleep when there was a faint knock on the door outside the house.

Xu Luo opened the door and faced Su Su, who was wearing a big cotton-padded jacket and holding a small pillow. The little girl had her hair loose and her little face was red from the cold because she had been in the yard for a while.

"Brother Xiaozhou..." Seeing him open the door, Su Su shouted happily.

"Why are you here? Go inside first, it's cold outside."

"Oh……"

So the little girl walked into the house wearing slippers.

As soon as the door closed, she threw herself on the bed and got into Xu Luo's quilt without saying a word. After some squirming, she let the quilt adapt to her shape.

"It's so late at night, why did you sneak over here without sleeping? Didn't grandma notice?"

Obviously, the little girl had already known the answers to Xu Luo's questions by heart. She wrapped herself in a quilt and sat up facing him. "Grandma snored when she fell asleep, which made me unable to sleep. I was scared to sleep alone, so I came to see Brother Xiaozhou~"

"Snoring among the elderly is indeed quite common..."

When he slept with his grandpa, his snoring kept him awake all night, but his grandma also snored? Why is he not impressed?

"I'm not lying to you. If you don't believe me, go and listen to grandma's room. The snoring is so loud that you can hear it outside."

After saying that, she made a move to put on clothes and go with him to see for herself, but Xu Luo quickly stopped her.

"Okay, okay, I believe you can't do it."

"This way, you move inside and sleep against the wall. I'll go to the closet and grab a quilt..."

"Okay~" The little girl obediently dragged the quilt and squeezed into the corner. The bed in the room was quite big. It was more than enough for the two of them, not to mention Jiang Yao.

(It’s raining here in Baoding today, so cool...)
