Xu Hong is Zhang Cuiqin’s daughter. She inherited Zhang Cuiqin’s bluffing and public personality, but her brain resembled her old man Xu Jianping. She is a little clever, her long lips were red and white, and she knew she was likable.

Having lived with Li Jing for so many years, she naturally knew that aunt Li Jing didn’t value anything for she valued her face the most. So seeing Xu Nannan and Xu Xiaoman apperance as a mess and showing up at home, although she was a little flustered, she reacted immediately.

Xu Nannan was scolded. She took Li Jing’s hand and said affectionately, “Auntie, don’t be angry, Nannan and the others are ignorant. When they go back to the village, people here won’t remember her like this. Yes, I won’t laugh at my auntie.”

Li Jing felt that this child was sensible, not like her own shameful child. She doesn’t know how a fool like Zhang Cuiqin can give birth to such a sweet and clever girl.

TL Note: I don’t know, maybe she takes care of her children from the start.

Li Jing was a little jealous, but she still looked at Xu Nannan, “Look at your sister Honghong, she’s more sensible. She’s not even much older than you. Why can’t you be like her? Why do you always make trouble like this?”

Xu Nannan rolled her eyes and didn’t want to talk to them at all.

There is always such a group of people that make you feel that even talking is a waste of saliva. She really wanted to break Li Jing’s head and see if it was stuffed with straws. Is it worth it for outsiders to be treated better than their own daughters? What can she get by doing this?

Counting on your niece to support you? Don’t make people laugh.

She ate the noodles directly by her chopsticks, and although it’s not rare, she doesn’t want to eat nothing at all. “Xiaoman, eat.”

“Oh.” Xu Xiaoman glanced at the others timidly, and picked up the dishes obediently. She knew in her heart that in this room, only her sister really loved her.

Seeing that the two children had no reaction at all, Li Jing’s expression changed.

Xu Hong was also a little unhappy, feeling that Xu Nannan didn’t take her seriously. But after seeing Li Jing’s face, she felt a little joyful again, wishing Nannan to be more non-sensible. In this way, the aunt will never take them back. She can stay in the city forever.

As long as she is admitted to high school and then goes to university, she will be able to become a personal master in the future.

Xu Hong’s melon seeds naturally couldn’t think of these. However, she has her old man Xu Jianhai, and Xu Jianhai is a smart man. She has been utterly frustrated since she was a child, and she must be admitted to a university. Xu Hong doesn’t know the use of college entrance examinations, but she can meet many ‘identified’ children in school. Knowing that reading is what a person with status should do, no matter how poor she studies, she knows she has to stay in school.

“Auntie, I’m hungry, I want to eat noodles.” Xu Lei suddenly yelled next to her.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw two bowls and chopsticks on the table, but there were only clear noodles in the soup. He didn’t like it, so he didn’t ask for it. But seeing Xu Nannan eating deliciously, his stomach became hungry.

Hearing Xu Lei yelling, Xu Long also said, “I want one too, I want to eat meat buns.”

When Xu Long shouted, Xu Meizi was startled, “What kind of meat buns, haven’t you just eaten them two days ago?” Just after she said this, she looked at Xu Nannan as if she had said something wrong, and covered her face. She kept her mouth open, for fear that the other party would know what else to say.

Unlike what she was ‘worried’, Xu Nannan did not show an angry expression, and Xu Xiaoman did not drool.

Xu Long shook his head away, “I don’t want you to worry about it. I’m going to eat meat buns. Uncle, auntie, I want to eat meat buns.”

Hearing that his nephew was going to eat meat buns, Xu Jiansheng felt a little helpless. His wife just said that there was not enough food. Didn’t you see Nannan and how they only came to eat clear noodle soup?

Li Jing didn’t look as pained as she did when she faced Xu Nannan, she simply smiled and said, “Okay, I will knead the dough now, you guys wait. You will be able to eat later.”

As soon as she said this, Xu Jiansheng looked at her, “Didn’t you say there is no more food at home?” And now she can make meat buns?

Li Jing said, “Isn’t it because they can’t wait? Making steamed stuffed buns is a waste of time, considering that they are hungry.” She doesn’t care for her children, but she can’t be too much in front of Xu Jiansheng.

Xu Jiansheng heard it and felt it made sense. He looked at Xu Nannan and Xu Xiaoman who were drinking clear noodle soup, “You eat slowly, and your mother will make two more buns later.”

“We don’t have enough food for them.” Xu Lei said unwillingly.

Xu Long wanted to speak, but Xu Meizi covered his mouth and pulled him out. In front of the uncle, you can’t do too much.

Xu Hong didn’t seem to care about this either, holding Li Jing’s hand, “Auntie, I’ll go help you work, everyone said that you are good at craftsmanship, but I want to learn it.”

When Li Jing heard this, her heart was softened, and she said to her, “Okay, I will teach you how to do it.”

There are only the three sisters and Xu Jiansheng who were left in the living room.

Six-year-old Xu Ling stood beside Xu Jiansheng, looking at the two sisters, staring blankly. From the time when Xu Hong and the others came in, she hadn’t said a word. Obviously, her relationship with those few people is not the same.

She was not like Xu Xiaoman, who is the younger sister of Xu Nannan.

When Xu Nannan opened her eyes, she was suddenly aware of her sister beside her. Xu Nannan hesitated in dealing with her feelings and worried that it might affect Xu Xiaoman too much. However, Xu Xiaoman had no thoughts in this regard. Seeing that everyone was gone, she immediately jumped down and took Xu Ling’s hand, smiling, “Wu Ya”

Hearing Xu Xiaoman yell her name, Xu Nannan almost didn’t choke.

When Xu Xiaoman called Xu Hong and the others, she always called their name and added a sister. She thought that Xu Xiaoman’s cousins were not called nicknames, and she did not expect to shout like the old lady.

Wuya is Xu Ling. And when she was pulled by her second sister, she seemed extremely happy, and spoke with a delighted expression on her little face, “Second sister.”

Regardless of how young the little girl is, she knew in her heart that she only had two relatives, the eldest sister and the second sister.

Sister Hong Hong and Sister Mei Zi are not relatives.

The two little girls held hand in hand and smiled face to face. They looked stupid, but Xu Nannan’s nose was sour for no reason.

Xu Jiansheng was very pleased to see this scene. These children, no matter how far apart, the feelings are always there. It explains that these children are all emotional children.

However, when he looked at Xu Nannan, his brows were still frowned invisibly.

In the past, the eldest daughter was also very affectionate. When she saw Xu Ling, she was always the first one to hold her. This time she didn’t say a word to Xu Ling, and it seemed that she had really changed.

“Nannan, your attitude towards your mother just wasn’t very good. It may be like this again later. Your mother has been thinking about you, caring about you, and worrying about you. Your previous attitude hurt her too much.”

“Then what attitude should I have, dad? Teach me.” Xu Nannan was full and looked at Xu Jiansheng with a calm face.

Xu Jiansheng paused, “You, why are you so naive?”

“I don’t know what is sensible. If sensible means letting me marry a fool, then I would rather not be sensible. Dad, now my grandma and mom are not here, I will ask you, Are you worthy of your daughters? Who will care for you in the future? Is it your nephew and niece, or your daughters? If you don’t want your daughters to support you, then I have nothing to say. You will leave me and Xiaoman alone in the future. But I don’t want to listen to you and marry a fool.”

“You…” Xu Jiansheng felt that the girl’s remarks were excessive, and wanted to refute a few words, but when the words came to his lips, he didn’t know what to say.

Who cares? Does this matter still need to be considered? It must be his own children to support them. He thought about it, three girls, there is always one who can stay at home and hire a son-in-law. You can also set up an account at the door and give him the end.

But now when the girl asked, he felt that it didn’t seem to be the case again.

Seeing the change in Xu Jiansheng’s expression, Xu Nannan knew there was a way. No matter if Xu Jiansheng was brainwashed or not, he could at least subtly and slowly change.

She won’t expect Xu Jiansheng to change much in the future, but at least he can temporarily provide her with a little help before she reaches adulthood.

This is also a matter of choice.

After all, her Taobao shop can’t be used casually. Firstly, there is not much funds in it. Secondly, although this era is declining, it is also the easiest time for accidents. As long as she reveals something wrong, what awaits her is the most terrible blow.

Not to mention that she is a ghost, they would most likely accuse her of being a spy or attacking a bourgeoisie for funds. Otherwise, how would she explain that she is a rural child who has no income, and where did she get these things?

“Dad, Xiaoman and I don’t expect you to bring us to the city. I hope I can grow up in the country peacefully and do more work, just don’t beat us nor send me to someone else’s house.”

The child burst into tears, and Xu Jiansheng felt very uncomfortable. He doesn’t know how to do it, but it’s for the best. However, he also began to hesitate about sending the child to Hu Tiejian’s house. He was not as firm as he is before.

Li Jing had already prepared meat buns for her nephew, so the noodles were served a long time ago. She and Xu Hong had a bun and steamed with the others. Xu Meizi came to help and soon made a pot of fragrant meat buns.

Before it came out, Xu Lei and Xu Long ran out to eat in the kitchen.

Xu Hong and Xu Meizi also took one to eat. Li Jing looked at the children’s fragrant eating, she was happy, and especially allowed Xu Long and Xu Lei to go out and eat. This will let outsiders know that their family ate meat buns today.

When the time comes, people will definitely say that she is a generous aunt who make big meat buns for her nephew and niece every three days.

Xu Lei and Xu Long ran out immediately with two steamed buns. The two children just came out of the yard door and almost hit someone. At first glance, it was the Guardian soldiers, and they ran away without even saying hello.

Their auntie said that the Guardian soldiers were just watching the gates of the mine, and they were incomparable with their uncles.

Wei Guobing has long been accustomed to the attitude of these children, but Zhu Liping, the director of the Women’s Federation in the factory, was a little unhappy, “How frizzy these children are. But Director Xu’s life is pretty good. They all eat meat buns.”

It’s not long since this great famine has passed, and it’s not easy to be able to eat meat buns. What’s more, Xu’s family has five children, and these five children and Director Xu’s wife are all registered in rural areas and cannot afford to supply food.

Wei Guobing said, “Director Xu is usually very economical. It is estimated that it is because the two daughters of their family came from the countryside, so they improved the food.”

Zhu Liping nodded, “It seems that Director Xu treats his two daughters very well. It will be a good job later.” This time she heard that the eldest daughter of Director Xu’s family was going to come here specially for an arranged marriage. This kind of thing is very undesirable. In order to protect the children because he doesn’t want the cadres to do anything wrong, Zhu Liping went to the Xu family to do work before eating.

The two stood at the gate of the yard and didn’t go directly inside. They shouted inside, “Director Xu, are you at home?”

Xu Jiansheng sat in the hall with a lot of thoughts, and when he heard the call from outside, he stood up and greeted them. Xu Nannan’s eyes also lit up, pulling Xu Xiaoman and sitting on the foot of the wall. Upon seeing this, Xu Ling squatted on the wall with her.

When Xu Jiansheng led Zhu Liping and Wei Guobing into the door, they saw three children squatting timidly in the corner.

“Nannan, what’s wrong with you?”

“Dad, don’t send me back to marry someone, I must be obedient and work hard. You must never send me back.” Xu Nannan held the two younger sisters tightly in her arms.

“When did I say I would send you back?” Xu Jiansheng said in a daze. She doesn’t know why the big girl suddenly changed her appearance.

“Didn’t my mother tell me to ask you to take a leave in the afternoon to send me back?” Xu Nannan looked at him in fear, and suddenly saw Zhu Liping and Wei Guobing behind him. Her eyes brightened, and she looked at Wei Guo like a savior. The soldiers ran over, “Uncle Wei, are you here to save me?”

Wei Guobing is a cold man, but seeing Xu Nannan like this, his heart went a little bit soft, “Well, Uncle Wei brought Director Zhu to visit you, and Director Zhu will definitely help you.”

“Yeah, Nannan, don’t you know me anymore? When you were a child, I even hugged you.” Zhu Liping looked at Xu Nannan. Looking at the pitiful child, She thought about the two children who ran out with big meat buns. She was a little angry. She saw it as soon as she came in, and there was only clear soup water in the two bowls on the table.

“Nannan, have you eaten yet? Your mother will make big meat buns for you today.”

“Meat buns? What are meat buns? My mother said that there was not enough food at home. She made white water noodles for me, but it was delicious. It was better than cabbage dumplings.” Xu Nannan said sincerely.

The Author has something to say: Yeah, I saw a lot of comments from my relatives and couldn’t reply one by one. Here is an explanation. This is set in the 1960s, which is different from what I wrote in the 1980s. It is very difficult for Xu Nannan to stand on her own as an underage person. In addition, some people say that you can sue Mrs. Xu. As a result, Mrs. Xu’s experience in the past made her a bit famous, and most people didn’t want to provoke her. On the other hand, Mrs. Xu also said that this is not for marriage, but only for her to be raised at home because the family can’t support the children. At that time, she couldn’t survive, and she was kept at home. No one could say that she was wrong. After all, everyone’s life is difficult. So there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom.
