Splendid Twins

Chapter 7 It’s Not Too Late to Regret

"Are you really Si, Si Yao?"

Si Yang squeezed out and asked.

"Replace it if it's fake!"

Si Yao looked at Si Yang's face with a calm gaze. When she saw the other three people who were obviously malnourished, she was mentally prepared for the poor life they were about to face.

"Come in quickly."

Liu Niang came back to her senses and started to speak, and she felt a little uneasy when she saw her daughter who looked somewhat like her.

Seeing that no one else expressed their opinion, Si Yao nodded and said:

"I took some things, where do you think I put them?"

She turned sideways, and the four of them looked at the large and small bundles on the donkey cart with their eyes wide open.

Liu Niang was stunned for only a moment, then she was the first to react:

"This is what you brought back. You should eat it alone. This is the condition of our home. I'm afraid you will have to suffer in the future."

Such a delicate daughter must have suffered in their thatched cottage.

"It doesn't matter. I can endure hardship."

Si Yao looked around without hiding anything. The courtyard was narrow, with only two shabby thatched houses and half a wooden door. She could step over the wall in one step. Tsk, how poor!

"Tsk, don't brag, or you'll end up crying and making a fuss!"

Si Yang spoke coldly. He no longer had any hope for his sister. He just asked her to stop causing trouble for this broken family!

Si Yao heard it but pretended not to hear it. Instead, she looked at Si Qing who was standing next to her and examining her. The boy was tall and thin, like a lonely pine tree, tough and upright. He had a pair of deep eyes, bright and far-reaching, with a kind of insight beyond that of ordinary people.

He managed to look elegant in his patched clothes. When Si Qing saw Si Yao looking at him, he pursed his lips.

"Don't be nervous. From now on, I will live with you. If you want to know anything, just ask."

As soon as Si Yao finished speaking, Si Lao Er, who was standing next to the donkey cart, suddenly asked:

"This car..."

"mine."

"Then this donkey..."

"mine."

Si Laoer was happy. The honest farm man smiled like a child who suddenly got a toy. The wrinkles on his face were squeezed together and looked dark. Si Yang was frightened by his taciturn old father. This was the first time he saw his father with such a lively expression.

Si Yang felt that as the smartest person in the family, he should remind his father, so he walked up to the donkey cart and looked here and there...

The father and son gathered around a donkey and chatted from time to time.

Si Qing glanced at the two people outside the yard, then turned back to stare at Si Yao who had a frank look on her face. The girl in front of him had a pretty face, like a blooming flower, bright and charming. Her eyebrows and eyes, which were somewhat similar to his own, were full of confidence and wisdom.

Some people remain distant after more than ten years of getting along with each other, while some people seem extremely familiar after only meeting each other once!

"Si Yao, I'm your eldest brother Si Qing, and that's your second brother, Si Yang. This is our home now. Are you ready?"

You may not be able to bear such a poor and boring life. It’s not too late to regret now!

"Perhaps I am more prepared than you?"

Si Yao saw the smile that flashed across Si Qing's eyes. This elder brother is very interesting!

"I am your mother. Let's just forget what happened in the past. From now on, we will live a good life as a family."

Liu Niang couldn't help sobbing as she spoke. Her own daughter came back, but she didn't even give the child a bite to eat!

Si Laoer pulled the donkey in, and the already crowded courtyard became even more crowded. Si Yang wanted to pull the cart in, and the half-broken wooden door creaked when he bumped into it.

Seeing this, Si Yao shook his head, walked over and removed the wooden door, pulled the cart with one hand, and used inertia to stop the cart smoothly, then used his other hand to push the wooden door back in.

This action stunned the four people, and Si Yang said stupidly:

"What do you city people eat? You are stronger than me?"

Si Yao only heard the following sentence: "You are very strong?"

"Of course. Don't look at my thinness, I'm very strong!"

The boy showed off his muscles while talking. Si Yao couldn't help laughing. Si Yang's face turned red and he was a little angry: "What are you laughing at!"

He just said, sisters are so annoying!

"Okay, stop bragging to your sister. I'll squeeze in with you guys tonight and let your sister sleep with your mother."

Si Lao Er stared at the fat and round donkey in the yard and said, he is the head of the family, although he doesn't speak much on weekdays, but once he speaks, no one will disobey him!

Of course, the title of head of the family is limited to their family of five!

In the old courtyard, he has no right to speak!

"Okay, so what are we having for dinner tonight?"

Si Yang's face fell, he secretly glanced at Si Yao who was silent, and suddenly felt an indescribable irritation in his heart!

In the past, he had no food to eat at night, so he would just fill his stomach with cold water and fall asleep. But for some reason, tonight he felt like having a meal!

"There's no food at home, Yaoyao, you..."

Liu Niang was unable to speak and her face turned increasingly paler.

"It doesn't matter. We are already a family and we will have food to eat in the future."

After observing for a while, Si Yao felt that this family was not difficult to get along with, but rather quite interesting!

The most important thing is that as soon as she stepped into the house, the space frantically reminded her to stay here. Afraid that she would hesitate, it directly gave her a few big bold and green words: Stay!

Si Yao took the things from the car directly, and several people helped to bring them into the house. There was no table inside, but a few smooth large stones put together, with three chipped bowls on them.

Si Yao was not surprised. She opened her bag and took out three bags of snacks, four roasted sweet potatoes, and a roast chicken. She also bought noodles, rice and various necessities.

On the way, she opened the package the housekeeper gave her. Inside were several feet of coarse cloth, two sets of coarse clothes for country girls, and one hundred taels of silver!

I think Zhou Yao is a very nice person on weekdays. It is very common in a big family for people to become cold-hearted and to change their attitude according to the situation!

The magical thing is that the moment she put the things into the space, it seemed to be upgraded. All the usable items were automatically exchanged into the packaging and styles of this dynasty, but the raw materials were more advanced.

"Just make do with it for tonight, mom will make it tomorrow."

Si Yao whispered to Liu Niang, Si Yang and Si Lao Er stared at the food on the stone table and swallowed continuously. Si Qing glanced at Si Yao calmly, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised.

"Okay, I'll do as Yaoyao says. Let's eat quickly."

When Liu Niang heard Si Yao calling her mother, a smile appeared on the woman's rough cheeks. It was a happy smile that came from the heart.

Seeing that several people sat down but did not move, and looked at her eagerly, Si Yao calmly reached out and started to remove a roast chicken directly from the two legs. Si Lao Er and Liu Niang each got a big chicken leg, and the rest were given to the two brothers. She also distributed the sweet potatoes and snacks evenly to everyone, including herself. If she wanted to integrate into this family, she had to put herself in the same position.

A strong fragrance drifted in the dilapidated house. Before the few people could react, Si Yang jumped up and lowered the straw curtain at the door, then blocked several corners.

After doing this, he sat down in his seat, staring at the meat in the bowl and swallowing his saliva frequently. He knew that Si Yao might not understand. As a brother, how could he not explain to his sister:

"We're having meat tonight. What a big deal! If word gets out to the old folks, will we still want to eat meat? We won't even have sweet potato skins to chew!"

"Okay, eat it quickly and quietly before it gets cold."

As soon as Si Lao Er gave the order, he picked up the big chicken leg and started chewing it. He didn't even bother to talk and stuffed Liu Niang's chicken leg into her mouth. He was incompetent and his woman had basically never eaten meat!

Seeing this, Liu Niang looked at her younger son who was eating with his mouth full of oil. Her older son was also eating with great relish. Her daughter was actually gnawing on half of the chicken neck. She directly reached out and handed the chicken leg to Si Yao:

"Yaoyao, eat it. Mom doesn't like to eat meat. You should nourish your body more."

Si Yao's eyes flashed with warmth, and she said while chewing on his neck: "I used to be tired of eating, so I just liked to suck on some bones, mother, please eat quickly."

Seeing that Si Yao really didn't like it, Liu Niang carefully put the chicken into her mouth. The moment the tip of her tongue licked the oil, she completely forgot about everything else.

The family of five ate quietly, no one spoke, but they felt extremely comfortable, as if this was how they were supposed to be as a family!
