Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

"No...no, I just wanted to see how you guys were cleaning up and see if you needed any help."

An Yue put the salt jar back into the cabinet, then turned around and asked in a quirky tone, "So how does uncle see it now?"

"Oh...! Okay! Very good! Then uncle will go back first." After he said that, he turned around and ran out of the east room with his head in his hands.

"Uncle, don't go yet! Yueyue needs your help digging the ground?" An Yue couldn't help but shout with a smile as she watched her uncle running away.

At this time, after drinking the water, the grandfather took the bowl into the kitchen. Looking at An Tiancai running around, the two of them couldn't help but smile at each other.

After the uncle washed the table and chairs, he watched An Tiancai run away quickly. He walked into the house with a bowl and asked, "Yueyue, your uncle's running away like a wolf and a rat is quite funny! What is he doing here?"

An Yue spread her hands helplessly and said, "I don't really know either. He said he came to see how we were doing, and then he ran away."

My uncle curled his lips and said with great contempt: "Oh! Look at how cowardly he is!"

The eldest uncle is a weak scholar and is also timid, while the uncle is a fearless village leader. It is obvious that the eldest uncle and the uncle have two extreme personalities, and the contrast is extremely shocking.

Although they have a huge age difference, they are of the same generation in terms of seniority.

After An Nian came back, he sat obediently under the stove and passed firewood, but he secretly watched a good show.

As far as An Yue could remember, half a year ago, when her mother and father were still alive, An Nian was still a naive and spoiled little kid who couldn't even sweep the floor.

In just half a year, he has transformed from a little kid who could do nothing to the well-behaved and sensible little adult who helps others with their worries and never cries or makes a fuss. It is really heartbreaking.

For a normal person, the rapid transformation in such a short period of half a year would be an extremely painful process, not to mention that he was still a child.

The pain of losing both parents, being kicked out of the house by loved ones, and becoming homeless is like being stripped of flesh and bones. Only the brother and sister themselves know the bitterness and pain involved.

We cannot blame anyone for all this, we can only say it was fate that played tricks on us.

Of course, part of the credit for allowing him to learn how to survive in the cracks at such a young age goes to the An family’s grandparents.

After this New Year, they will be one year older. An Nian's growth is visibly evident, which is not a bad thing for the two siblings.

At this time, the rice porridge is ready.

An Yue cracked and beat two eggs, cut some cabbage, and made a simple dish of scrambled eggs and cabbage.

The tables and chairs that were drying in the yard were already dry, and my uncle easily moved them into the hall.

After An Yue cooked the dishes, the four generations of grandparents and grandchildren sat on the benches and ate lunch around the octagonal table.

After lunch, my grandfather and uncle prepared to return to the Jiang family.

My uncle walked around the room, looked around, and said, "Yueyue, clean the water tank now. I'll go fetch a few buckets of water and fill the tank for you."

An Yue nodded towards her uncle with emotion.

Jiang Chenghai turned around, picked up the shoulder pole and bucket, and walked out of the yard with the bucket on his shoulder.

My grandfather walked to the gate and looked it up and down, left and right, perhaps to check whether it was stable.

An Nian looked at his grandfather as if he was looking for something, and he followed behind him.

After my grandfather made sure that the door was in good condition, he walked around the house, carefully examining the walls and roof beams.

Then, he looked at the cabinets and bed frames in the room.

He saw that the bamboo mat had not been laid out on the bed yet, so he went to the yard, brought the bamboo mat that was drying in the yard into the house, and helped the siblings to lay it out neatly.

After he laid out the bamboo mat, he turned to An Yue who was cleaning the water tank and said, "Yueyue, there's nothing wrong with this house, but the door of this cabinet is a little rotten and not very stable. Next time when grandpa comes over, I'll help you fix it."

An Yuetian smiled and said, "Grandfather, Yueyue feels that there is no big problem with this cabinet. It doesn't matter whether it is repaired or not."

An Nian followed behind his grandfather, blinked at him, and said, "Grandpa, please come often in the future. I will miss my grandparents and uncle every year."

My uncle was young and strong, and in a short while he ran back and forth three times. After another run, the water tank was full.

Grandfather squatted down, held An Nian's arms with both hands, and said to An Nian with a kind face: "Niannian, we will definitely come to see you often, but in the future, Niannian must listen to your sister and help her more."

An Nian opened his big round eyes and listened seriously to what his grandfather said.

Grandfather reached out and touched An Nian's head, and said, "Niannian, you are the man of this family, you must not let others bully your sister!"

An Nian looked at his grandfather and nodded affirmatively.

At this time, my uncle ran two more times, and when the water tank was full, he carried two more buckets of water and placed them next to the water tank.

My uncle was already sweating profusely. An Yue handed him a piece of coarse cloth to wipe his sweat. He drank a few sips of warm water before preparing to return to the Jiang family.

Uncle Jiang Chenghai squatted down and said to the siblings, "Yueyue, Niannian, uncle will come again in two days to help you chop some firewood. We should go back this time because we still have to weigh the goods in the afternoon!"

An Yue looked at her uncle who was sweating profusely, with hot smoke coming out of his forehead, and her nose couldn't help but feel sore.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and she said reluctantly, "Uncle...Grandfather, don't worry! Yueyue will definitely take good care of Nian Nian."

Then, the uncle touched the brother and sister's heads, took a breath, nodded, stood up, and walked towards the yard.

"Then we'll go back, take care!" Grandfather put on the backpack and walked out of the house.

The brother and sister ran out with moist eyes, and watched their backs gradually walk out of the yard gate. A sense of separation instantly surged into their hearts.

The brother and sister couldn't help but chase to the gate of the yard, watching their grandfather and uncle's backs go away, until their figures completely disappeared from their sight. Then the brother and sister held hands and slowly walked back to their room.

From today on, the brother and sister finally have their own little home.

In this family, they don’t have to look at anyone’s face, no longer have to compromise, and no longer have to be cautious.

After returning to the house, An Yue faced An Nian and asked seriously, "Niannian, now there are only you and my sister in this room, are you afraid?"

An Nian shook her head and said, "With my sister by my side, I am not afraid. I promise! I will listen to my sister in the future."

An Yue looked at An Nian and smiled with relief. She couldn't help but pinch An Nian's little round face.

An Yue walked into the kitchen and took a look, then turned to An Nian and said:
