Second Aunt Li's heart was of course towards Gu Xi.Li Aizhong went to join the army at the age of 18, and now he is 28, and has only been back a few times.But Gu Xi was different. In the past year and a half, Gu Xi would take care of them even if he had something delicious, and the two families got along very well.This is how feelings come out, come and go.

But now that Li Aizhong is back, he is the eldest brother, and he has a sister-in-law. The head of the family is about to change.

"Second Aunt, I know that well." Gu Xi thought for a while and then said, "Second Aunt, my parents are gone, and my elder brother has given me the adoption of Chenglu. I can also separate in this situation."

"It's possible." Second Aunt Li said, "Your grandparents are still here, we are separated, not to mention your parents are no longer here. But if you separate, how will you divide?"

"One room for me and one room for him belong to us. Now it is my parents' room, kitchen, woodshed, and hut to be separated. How likely is Second Aunt thinking that these things are given to me? And I When my parents died, the army paid 200 yuan. I asked for the money myself. Do I have to share it with them? Even if it is divided, my mother’s money belongs to me, and my father’s too. The 100 yuan compensation, right?"

"It's reasonable not to give the stepmother's money to the stepson. As for your father's 100 yuan in compensation, if your elder brother is generous, you won't ask for it, but if you are stingy, you don't know." Second Aunt Li said.No matter how you say it is 50 yuan, no one will be tempted.

"There are also the money from selling the pigs and the two hens. These were raised by my mother before she was alive. After my mother died, I raised them. Does he still want to share?" Gu Xi asked again.You know that a hen can lay an egg every day.

"Pig money is easy to talk about, so just use it up. As for the hen, you can be generous and give him one, and then ask for some things?" Second Aunt Li said.

"Okay, if I think about it again, it's impossible to separate the family immediately." Gu Xi said, "Besides, Cheng Tu is the eldest grandson of my family, so what if he lives in my parents' room?"

When Gu Xi returned home with Cheng Tu, he saw Li Aizhong's family of three standing in the yard, Li Aizhong was walking with the child, Li Aizhong's wife Yang Jie was chatting with Li Aihua's wife.

Xiao Chengtu subconsciously shrank behind Gu Xi, he held on to Gu Xi's clothes tightly, he was a little repulsed and a little afraid of this biological father who abandoned him.

"Patriotic." It was Yang Jie who saw him first and smiled, seemingly kindly.

Gu Xi nodded at him: "Sister-in-law."

Hearing the voice, Li Aizhong turned around, and when he saw Gu Xi, he was surprised.The young man in front of him carrying a basket with wild vegetables in it was nothing like the unscrupulous younger brother a year ago.It was still the same face, but the whole person became more vivid.Glancing at the child who was shrinking behind Gu Xi again, Li Aizhong just looked at it, and then said to Gu Xi: "I'm afraid you will be lonely this year, I will go home with your sister-in-law for the New Year. I was supposed to come last year, but your sister-in-law just After giving birth, it is inconvenient to drive a car.”

"I have my son by my side, so I'm not lonely." Gu Xi said, "Brother and sister-in-law have had a hard time traveling, since we're here, we need to stay for a few more days." Meaning, when will we leave?

Li Aizhong raised her eyebrows, quite surprised by Gu Xi's words.Even Yang Jie, who was chatting with Li Aihua's wife, was surprised. She couldn't help laughing and said: "People say that the elder sister-in-law is like a mother, and when my mother is gone, my elder sister-in-law will take care of you on her behalf and support the family, so I won't leave for the time being." Yes. After all, you are still young, and it is not convenient for a man to run the house."

After hearing this, Gu Xi couldn't help but chuckle.

Yang Jie's eyes sank, what is he laughing at?

"Sister-in-law, I'm already 22, how will you take care of me instead of my mother?" Gu Xi asked, "And the allusion that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother comes from the life of Bao Gong in the Tang Dynasty, which refers to the kindness of nurturing her husband's younger brothers and sisters." Sister-in-law, sister-in-law wants to tell me that elder sister-in-law is a mother, I'm afraid it's...inappropriate?"

After Gu Xi finished speaking, Yang Jie's face turned blue and pale.This little uncle...is different from the one he saw last August.She quickly recovered her smile from before: "Look at me, I'm not good at Chinese. In high school, I was serious about science. In Aiguo high school, I was good at linguistics, right?" Come to suppress Gu Xi.

However, Gu Xi looked at Li Aizhong in surprise, and then said disappointedly: "Our family is poor, my eldest brother and I only went to junior high school, and I am also very envious of the high school my sister-in-law mentioned."

Yang Jie looked at Li Aizhong suddenly, she didn't mean that.

Gu Xicai didn't care about the faces of the couple, he opened the kitchen door with the key: "After the eldest brother passed Chengtu to me, I took out my parents' room and let Chengtu live in it. The elder brother's room is still empty, and I put the key in it." It's in the kitchen cabinet." With that said, Gu Xi went into the kitchen and took out the key, "Here."

Li Aizhong took the key and returned to the room with her luggage.

His room was the same as when he left, the bed, table, and cabinets were still in their original places.This was made when he married Chengtu's mother. It has been seven or eight years. Compared with the furniture of other families in the countryside, it is considered new, but it has been used for seven or eight years, and it is still old.

There were no people in the room for a long time, and a lot of dust fell.Li Aizhong said to Yang Jie: "You take the child to rest first, and I will clean the house."

"Hey." Yang Jie responded.Seeing that Gu Xi and Xiao Chengtu had returned to her room, she first stared at Xiao Chengtu's room, and then remembered that the original door of this room was not like this, but in the kitchen.Then she carried her son to Xiao Chengtu's room, "Chengtu, my aunt brought my brother to play with you." Walking to the door, she saw the brand new furniture inside, and her eyes widened.

Brand new double-layer wooden bed, the bed is quite big.There are new wardrobes, desks, beautiful wooden chairs, and a small shoe cabinet next to the bed.There is a plate on the desk with some snacks on it.

Yang Jie's smile was a little stiff, but there was a flash of determination in Yang Jie's eyes.

Xiao Chengtu stared blankly at Yang Jie for a while, then looked at the little boy again.He doesn't know how to get along with such a small child, even the 4-year-old Xiao Chenggong is older than him.And for this little brother, he didn't like it at all.He was a child who was not wanted by his biological father, and this younger brother was a child who was loved by his biological father.

However, he still picked up a piece of sweet jerky on the plate and walked up to Yang Jie, and said, "This is for my brother."

"This is jerky, thank you Chengtu." Yang Jie said to the little boy, "Thank you brother."

The 13-month-old boy giggled and didn't know what his brother was called.

Yang Jie tore a little and put it in her mouth. The sweet jerky was very fragrant, and then she tore it up for the little boy to eat with confidence.The little boy ate the jerky and said, "Eat...eat..."

"Well, mom will tear it up for you to eat. Don't worry, eat slowly." Yang Jie coaxed the little boy softly and gently, and then said to Chengtu, "Chengtu, after my aunt comes home, my brother can play with you. are you happy?"

Xiao Chengtu didn't know how to answer, so he hummed.

Yang Jie led the little boy and played in Xiao Chengtu's room.After Li Aizhong cleaned up the room, she carried the child back home.Back in the room, Yang Jie said: "I think Chengtu has grown up, I hope he and Chengwei can get along well. He is a bit introverted and doesn't talk much."

"He's still young." Li Aizhong said.

"That's right. He's still young, and he's been with Cheng Wei for a long time. The two brothers will always get along. They're both real brothers." Yang Jie said again.

Li Aizhong asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, just a bit of a sigh. After all, Chengtu is your own son. When I didn't have a child, I didn't know him well and didn't have much relationship with him. Now that I have a child, I always feel that you adopted the child to patriotism. In your heart It must be unhappy and hurt the child's heart, why not...let's take the child back." Yang Jie said.

Li Aizhong was really surprised at this moment: "It's okay if you don't come back, they live in the same courtyard, and there are only their brothers, so why not kiss?"

"But I want to treat you better." Yang Jierou said, "Aiguo has no children now. When he gets married and has his own children, not to mention him, she will be his wife. Can you treat Chengtu well?"

"This... let me talk to Aiguo."

"it is good."

"Let's go have lunch first. I think Aiguo has just come back, so he probably hasn't made lunch yet. Why don't you see what's at home and I'll cook it?" Yang Jie said again.

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Yang Jie gave him the child: "It's not hard, we are husband and wife."

It's just that, when she got to the kitchen and looked around, her complexion was completely bad.When she returned to the room, Li Aizhong also found that her expression was wrong: "What's wrong?"

"There is nothing to eat in the kitchen, the jars and cabinets are empty, not even... not even a pot. This... this..." Yang Jie hesitated to speak.

"I'll ask." Li Aizhong came to Gu Xi's room with the child in his arms.When she saw the furniture in Gu Xi's room, she was also taken aback.All new furniture, and the style is quite nice.

"Brother, what's the matter?" Gu Xi asked.

Li Aizhong came back to her senses: "I see it's time for lunch. Just now your sister-in-law wanted to cook lunch for everyone, but... there is nothing in the kitchen, not even an iron pot."

"Oh, the iron pot was confiscated by the government. Since late July this year, all the iron pots in the village have been confiscated. There is a big canteen in our village, and everyone eats in the canteen," Gu Xi explained. "There is no food at home. Last year, before my parents died, all the food I earned from work was given to my grandparents during the Chinese New Year. The food left over from the year before last year was not enough for Chengtu and me. Later, I sold two pigs for the money. The food we went to exchange is enough for our father and son to eat until the opening of the big canteen in the village. It's also meal time, so I'll take my elder brother and sister-in-law there for dinner."

"Okay." Li Aizhong didn't doubt it.
