Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

The grandmother hugged the siblings and said, "Are you two tired?"

An Yue moved closer to her grandmother's arms and replied, "Yes, a little bit."

Then he continued, "But don't worry, grandma. We just need to lie down and take a nap, and we'll be fine when we wake up."

At this time, An Nian suddenly said, "Grandma, I miss mom every year. Mom always sang a lullaby to us before we went to sleep."

Grandma said gently, "Then Grandma will sing it to Nian Nian, okay?"

"it is good……"

So, Anyan and Anyue closed their eyes obediently.

Grandmother covered the brother and sister with a quilt, and like their mother, she gently patted An Nian's heart and sang a lullaby softly.

"The moon is round, smiling, the wind is blowing..."

After a while, the brother and sister fell asleep snuggling beside their grandmother.

After smoking his pipe, my grandfather Jiang Wuwen came into the house to take a rest.

Grandmother Zheng looked at the sleeping An Yue and An Nian and couldn't help but think of the ugly face her daughter-in-law Wei had at lunch.

Grandmother Zheng was afraid of waking up the sleeping siblings, so she lowered her voice and whispered to her husband Jiang Wuwen, "Old man, at lunch today, Wei turned her face away in front of us. Although she didn't say anything unpleasant, I, an old woman, could still see through her little tricks."

"So what if I can see it?"

Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Yeah, what can I do? Eh... What do you think our son Ah Hai thinks about this?"

Grandfather Jiang Wuwen replied calmly: "What can he think? These are his own nephews and nieces."

Zheng couldn't help but sigh again: "Ah...poor these two children, they are so young, and they have to suffer this."

Grandma looked at their tender little faces. When they were asleep, they looked like little babies, but as soon as they opened their eyes, they became like adults.

Zheng had long noticed that the brother and sister were very cautious in everything they did in this family. When she thought about it, she felt even more distressed.

Time always passes quickly in the afternoon. The four generations of grandparents and grandchildren rested at home for fifteen minutes. After waking up, they relaxed and carried their own backpacks to go to the fields to dig sweet potatoes as they did in the morning.

Although this was the first time for the brother and sister to work in the fields and their whole bodies ached, they were fortunate to have taken a nap at noon and their physical strength was relieved a lot.

For An Yue, although she was tired these days and was often looked down upon, it was much better than having her brother and sister become homeless and freeze to death or starve to death in the winter.

Here, at least I have my grandparents to take care of me, so what does it matter if I’m a little bit hard and tired?

An Nian and Anyue were too short to swing a hoe, so the brother and sister sat on the field and picked up the sweet potatoes dug by their grandparents one by one, gently wiped off the dirt on the sweet potato skins, and then put them in a backpack.

When the brother and sister were thirsty, they put a few big sweet potatoes in their small backpacks, carried the sweet potatoes home to drink water, and then carried the empty backpacks back to the fields.

An Nian carried seven or eight sweet potatoes at a time, and An Yue carried a dozen or twenty. The brother and sister sat in the fields picking sweet potatoes, and then carried them back home. After several trips, they carried back a lot of sweet potatoes.

It was getting dark.

My grandparents put down their hoes and stopped digging. Instead, like Anyue and Annian, they picked up the sweet potatoes they dug and put them in a backpack, carrying them home again and again.

For ordinary farmers, this kind of labor is one of the essential skills for survival.

An Yue and An Nian are very young and should have been protected by their parents, but now because of the misfortune of their parents passing away, the siblings have to learn to read people's expressions and understand how to survive in this world.

By dark, the four generations of grandparents and grandchildren had carried all the sweet potatoes from the field and were ready to go home.

Seeing that there were still some sweet potato vines that had not been carried home, An Yue asked her grandmother, "Grandma, the sweet potato vines have not been carried home yet. I can run fast, how about I run back and forth twice more?"

Grandma smiled and said, "Silly child, there is always work to do. Besides, it's already dark today. Let your uncle and aunt pick up the sweet potato vines tomorrow morning. They can be finished in two trips."

After listening to her grandmother's words, An Yue nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, the four generations of grandparents and grandchildren headed back home.

They had just arrived home and sat down when a voice came from outside the yard.

As soon as I heard the voice, I knew it was my uncle who went to work in the village and came back.

"Niannian, Yueyue, come and see what good things your uncle bought for you." Uncle Jiang Chenghai shouted loudly as he walked into the yard with one hand behind his back.

An Nian, who was drinking water in the house, heard his uncle's voice and ran to the yard.

"Grandma, it's my uncle who's back..."

"Run slower, be careful not to fall!" Jiang Chenghai couldn't help but remind An Nian as he watched him running towards him.

An Nian ran to Jiang Chenghai, hugged his thighs, and asked curiously: "Uncle, show Nian Nian what you bought?"

Jiang Chenghai put one hand behind his back, bent down and pinched An Nian's chubby face, and said jokingly: "Niannian, little greedy cat, do you want to know what it is?"

An Nian opened her big watery eyes, blinked, and nodded repeatedly at her uncle An Chenghai.

"How about this! As long as you kiss your uncle, he will give it to you."

An Nian pouted and tilted his head and said, "Humph! No way! My uncle's face will prick my mouth."

"Then uncle will have to give all the good things to sister..."

After hearing this, An Nian didn't care about anything else. She stood on tiptoe without saying a word, held her uncle's face with both hands, and kissed him on the face with her pouting little lips.

The uncle who was kissed by An Nian smiled contentedly, rubbed An Nian's head, and said, "Hehe... so good!"

Then he took out the peony that he was carrying on his back.

When An Nian saw the peony candy in his uncle's hand, his eyes sparkled and he exclaimed, "Wow... it's peony candy!"

"One for you and one for my sister."

Uncle gave An Nian a portion of peony candy, and took another portion of peony candy and walked towards the main house.

"Yueyue, look what your uncle bought for you?"

An Yue, who was wiping the table, saw her uncle coming back with peony in his hand. She put down the rough tablecloth in her hand and hurried towards her uncle.

An Yue took the peony from her uncle's hand and said, "Hehe...thank you, uncle."

The way An Yue and An Nian looked at Shaotang was the innocence and purity they should have.

At this moment, the brother and sister seemed to have returned to the past, back to the winter of last year, the winter with their father and mother.

An Yue held Shaotang in her hand and stood there blankly, not moving at all. Her mind inexplicably flashed with her father's smiling face. She remembered that her father often went out to work and would buy all kinds of delicious food for them to bring home.
