Chapter 395 The sister recognized by the state

At around ten o'clock in the morning, Yan's father and Wu Xiuhong came back from going to town to buy groceries.

Both of them went there on bicycles, but Wu Xiuhong was riding the new bicycle that Yan Xin bought, while Yan's father was riding the old bicycle that Wu Xiuhong used to sell tofu.

But this is also a normal thing. Yan Xin saw it and didn't say anything.

On the other hand, the two elders felt a little embarrassed when they saw Yan Xin.

The two of them have been together for such a long time, but Yan's father is always a little bit reluctant to let go in front of his son. He always feels that he is a bit old and shameless when he remarries. I'm sorry for the child, I'm sorry for the child's mother, and I'm a real scumbag.

Already.

In front of Yan Xin, he would deliberately keep a certain distance from Wu Xiuhong and never show any affectionate expression.

I'm just afraid of irritating my son.

This even made Yan Xin a little worried about whether there was a problem with the old couple getting along and whether they could continue to go on.

They looked like two strangers.

Wu Xiuhong is a tofu seller who goes door to door. She has a better attitude. When she sees Yan Xin, she greets her cordially and asks about her welfare. She seems to be more affectionate than Yan's father.

This time they went to the next town and bought some ingredients, which they usually wouldn't be willing to eat. There were beef, mutton, ribs, pig's trotters, eels, and soft-shell turtles. It looked like they spent a lot of money.

There is no need to buy chickens. The two families originally raised chickens, but now they are united. They have brought all the chickens over. There are thirty or forty chickens in total. If you want to eat, you can just kill two. There is no need to buy them from outside.

.

You can only buy vegetable chickens raised in farms from the town, which have a poor taste and may bring chicken plague here - that kind of thing has happened before.

The total ingredients cost about two to three hundred yuan. When Yan Xin eats out, a meal often costs more than that.

But for Yan Dad and the others, it is a rare luxury.

It's also because getting married is a major event in life, and we have to entertain a few close relatives. Otherwise, we wouldn't be so willing to do it, even during the New Year.

In addition, I also bought two sets of clothes for Bai Xiaoling, spending two to three hundred yuan. Bai Xiaoling was so happy that she hugged her mother and said "Mom, you are so good", but her mother threw her away.

She said:

"The main reason is that you have to go out to work in a few days. You are afraid that others will look down on you if you wear too shabby clothes. These two sets of clothes cost me two to three hundred yuan. You have to cherish them and don't wear them out in a few days.

.”

Bai Xiaoling happily promised: "Don't worry, I will definitely treat it as a national treasure. The clothes are still there, but the clothes are gone..."

Before she finished speaking, her mother covered her mouth: "Go, go, don't talk nonsense, as if you have never seen good clothes."

"I've never seen it before..." Bai Xiaoling muttered quietly.

It's two sets of clothes, not two pieces of clothes. A top and pants, a total of four clothes. The total cost is only two to three hundred yuan. In fact, they are not very good clothes.

If you buy it at the online store of Jinxi E-commerce Company, you can get it for less than 200 yuan.

In a few years, it will be cheaper to buy online.

But Bai Xiaoling's usual outfit only costs a few tens of yuan, and clothes that cost ten or twenty yuan a piece are the norm. To her, these are indeed very good clothes.

Yan Xin was quite emotional and thought about whether to buy some better clothes for his half-sister when he went to the county town tomorrow, but after thinking about it for a while, he finally decided against it.

When she earns her own money, she can buy it with her own money.

Develop a habit of spending your own money. He thinks this is better for girls.

Otherwise, if you rely on others to deliver everything, your whole life will be useless.

After the old couple came back, they rested for ten minutes and then started making lunch.

Tomorrow is the official day, but today Yan Xin is back. In view of the huge financial contribution he has made to the family, it is completely understandable to prepare a sumptuous lunch to welcome his arrival.

All four members of the family are busy at work.

Although Wu Xiuhong repeatedly said there was no need for so many people and asked Yan Xin to go back to his room to rest, Yan Xin still insisted on staying to help.

It's not that he's very diligent, it's mainly because the family hasn't been this lively in a long time. In the past few years, it was just him and his dad who depended on each other, and his dad wasn't a person who liked to talk. Even when the relationship between father and son was not good, it got better.

It was like this after that, and the house seemed deserted.

Now there are two more people, and there is also Bai Xiaoling who chatters non-stop. It suddenly seems a lot more lively, and the family has gained some popularity.

Yan Xin is enjoying the excitement now.

He believes that his father also enjoys the excitement now.

Although his father still didn't say anything, it can be seen from his expression that he is very happy.

Just for this happiness, Yan Xin felt that it was worthwhile for him to propose such a suggestion.

Even if Bai Xiaoling goes out to work in two days, this family will not be as lively as it is today, but with Wu Xiuhong here, she will never be as lonely as before.

Especially this year it is still a cold winter.

Living alone is really miserable.

In his previous life, Yan Xin felt sad when he thought about his father being seriously injured and disabled because of the heavy snow that collapsed his house this winter. He blamed himself for being useless, for being too cold-blooded, for never thinking about his family, and never thinking about improving it.

The environment made my father suffer like that.

If it hadn't been for the help of his neighbors, his father would have froze to death in that cold winter.

But at that time, he was thousands of miles away, and he didn't even have an escort - transportation was blocked by heavy snow, and he couldn't come back even if he wanted to.

Sometimes I regret it and want to slap myself in the face.

From the beginning of this life, what he cared about most was to build a solid house before the snowstorm came, so that the tragedy of his previous life would not happen.

He achieved this goal last year.

Now this house is not only solidly built, but also beautiful. It is the most beautiful house in the village.

However, his father was alone in his hometown and was still lonely.

He could clearly see his father's joy every time he came back and his father's reluctance when he left.

Although his father never said such words, he could see it in his eyes.

He has lived in two lives and has experienced some things. He can understand that part of this emotion is due to attachment to his relatives, but part of it is also due to loneliness.

He hopes that there is someone who can alleviate his father's loneliness and allow his father to feel the happiness of this world more often.

Not just when he's around.

Now, his father finally has such a person beside him.

When his father is happy, he is also happy.

Otherwise, when he is enjoying life, when he thinks of his father living alone in his hometown, he will feel that he is not worthy of enjoying the wonderful life he has now, and that it is a sign of heartlessness.

This combination not only makes his father's life happier, but also for Wu Xiuhong.

It is not easy for a widow to hold a daughter.

Moreover, according to rural customs, when a daughter gets married, she will not support her parents in old age. At most, she will take care of her parents for a few days while they are sick in bed.

If it is clear that she wants to support her parents in their old age, it will be difficult for anyone to want such a daughter - because the burden is too heavy.

In her previous life, Feng Xi didn't get married when she was so old. It was for this reason. Otherwise, given her conditions, she would never have married Yan Xin.

Without finding someone to marry, Wu Xiuhong's old age would not be easy.

Being able to marry Yan's father is also a lucky thing for her.

Now the conditions of the Yan family are very good, and the son of the Yan family has been recognized as filial in the past two years. He does not reject her as a stepmother, and he even actively promoted this marriage.

With such sensible children, the family will not have too many conflicts due to children's problems in the future.

In addition, Dad Yan is also an honest person, without those bad habits, and he is worthy of being trusted for life.

When two people are together, it doesn't necessarily mean who is taking care of the other, but that they take care of each other.

It is also a good thing for her to have such a companion in her later years.

She was very happy to see this new combined family lively and lively.

After suffering for half a lifetime, I finally saw some light.

It is actually not that easy for two families to form a new family. It takes time to slowly adjust.

Some even take years or decades to break in. On the contrary, the longer the time goes, the greater the damage will be.

But what is more fortunate than other combined families is that all members of these two families agree with this combination and work hard to accept each other's existence.

If everyone works hard in the same direction, it will be much easier.

No one can say what kind of thoughts they have privately, but on the surface they are already like a family, even more harmonious than many normal families.

——There are naturally traces of performance in this, but it is already rare to be willing to perform in this aspect.

Yan Xin used to call Wu Xiuhong Aunt Wu, but tomorrow she will get married to his father, so in order not to appear unfamiliar, he has changed her name to "Mom" this time.

Of course, it felt quite awkward when he first started barking. From time to time, he thought of his biological mother and felt like a traitor.

But after a few more calls, things became smoother.

When he called Wu Xiuhong "Mom" for the first time, Wu Xiuhong was not mentally prepared and was a little stunned, but mostly happy and moved.

I think this kid is really good.

He responded, then burst into tears.

Afraid of being laughed at, I quickly turned around and wiped it off secretly.

Yan Xin and Bai Xiaoling both saw it, but they could only pretend they didn't see it.

Bai Xiaoling didn't know what she was thinking of, and her eyes slowly turned red.

This little girl often looks crazy, like a heartless child, but she is actually very thoughtful.

A really heartless child would not lick his face and call Yan Xin brother and father Yan dad when the marriage has not yet been decided.

That kind of behavior is not a normal behavior of a person. It is more forced by life. I just want to have a better living environment, so I can only behave like that.

This kind of scene makes everyone feel a little emotional, and sometimes even makes people feel uncomfortable.

However, everyone also acted in a tacit understanding and pretended not to have seen such a performance, and still talked and laughed, looking very harmonious.

After eating and chatting for a while, Yan Xin went back to his bedroom.

When he went upstairs, Bai Xiaoling also followed him upstairs.

Her bedroom is also on the second floor, so it's understandable to follow her up.

Yan Xin didn't care.

When he arrived at his bedroom, he opened the door and Bai Xiaoling followed him in.

Yan Xin asked her in surprise: "Isn't your room over there? What are you doing here?"

"Brother, we haven't seen each other for a long time, let's chat." Bai Xiaoling said with a smile.

Yan Xin opened his mouth and yawned: "I'm so sleepy... Forget it now, I'm a little sleepy and I need to take a nap. Let's chat again after I wake up."

In fact, it's not that I'm that sleepy, I just don't want to be in the same room as Bai Xiaoling.

This is too dangerous.

"Then just go to sleep, I won't disturb your sleep." Bai Xiaoling said understandingly.

But she did not go out, but sat on a chair in the bedroom.

It looked like he was going to sit here while Yan Xin slept.

Yan Xin became depressed: "But how can I sleep with you in this room?"

Bai Xiaoling smiled sweetly and said, "Brother, don't worry, I won't make any noise or disturb your sleep."

"This is not necessary..." Yan Xin said.

He made a suggestion: "How about you go back to your room and take a nap? Wait until we are all rested, and then we can chat."

Bai Xiaoling shook her head: "Brother, I don't have the habit of taking naps. I'm not sleepy."

Yan Xin had no choice but to forcefully drive the person away. He shook his head, went to the bed, took off his shoes and socks, lay down on the bed, and then pulled the quilt to cover himself.

I am indeed a little sleepy and need to take a nap to relieve the fatigue from this journey.

He should have taken off all his clothes so that he could sleep comfortably, but Bai Xiaoling was in this room and he really didn't dare to do that.

On the contrary, Bai Xiaoling was a little strange: "Brother, when you sleep, don't you take off your outer clothes?"

"Um..." Yan Xin could only talk nonsense, "I usually don't take off my coat when I take a nap. I just sleep for a while anyway, and I don't want to bother."

Bai Xiaoling: "Then I'm different. I can't sleep well with my clothes on..."

If other girls said such things, Yan Xin might even ask: "Don't you wear clothes when you go to bed?"

But the person who is saying this now is his half-sister. Although there is no blood relationship, she is his sister. This relationship will be reflected in the household registration book in the future, and she is a sister recognized by the state.

He really didn't dare to say this.

Just pretend you didn't hear it.

But I still couldn't help but simulate that scene in my mind, and then I didn't dare to think about it anymore.

He closed his eyes, indicating that he had begun to sleep.

Seeing that he was sleeping well, Bai Xiaoling asked with a smile: "Brother, you are going to bed now, how about you lend me your mobile phone to play with for a while?"

Only then did Yan Xin realize that this girl had followed him shamelessly because she wanted to use his cell phone.

There are twenty or thirty short videos on his phone that are not suitable for children.

What if this girl sees this?

As soon as he opened his eyes, he said simply: "No!"

"Why?" Bai Xiaoling was very disappointed, "You don't need it now anyway, just let me play with it for a while. Don't worry, I won't damage your phone."

"No, no, this is non-negotiable." Yan Xin firmly rejected her.

Bai Xiaoling pouted, looking very disappointed.

Yan Xin took the opportunity to educate her: "Xiao Ling, I'm not talking about you. You must remember this after you go out. Don't look at other people's mobile phones casually, maybe it will cause big trouble. You have to understand that others

There may be some very private things in your phone that are not suitable for outsiders to see. From now on, don’t show your phone to others, and don’t look at other people’s phones, you know?”

Bai Xiaoling said oh, indicating that she understood.

But then he added: "But you are my brother."

Yan Xin was a little depressed, but it was hard to say that he was not her brother, which was a bit too hurtful.

They are simply brothers and sisters, so it doesn't matter if we say it like this.

The problem is that they are not biological brothers and sisters. They are brothers and sisters from a combined family who have no blood relationship. Their relationship is not good enough to say such things.

He could only say: "But there must be a sense of boundaries between brothers and sisters, and they cannot look at each other's mobile phones. Don't say that this cannot be done between brothers and sisters. Even between husband and wife, each other must have a private space and cannot be invaded at will.

.”

"Okay, I understand, I won't play with other people's mobile phones anymore." Bai Xiaoling said.

Yan Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Bai Xiaoling said: "But, brother, you can play with my mobile phone if you want. I have no objection."

Yan Xin blushed and thought to himself: "Why do I feel like this girl is mocking me?"

But he has no evidence.

So I could only pretend not to understand, and smiled happily: "It's great that you have such an understanding, but I still have to tell you, never show your phone to others."

"Yeah, I know," Bai Xiaoling nodded vigorously, "I remember, my phone is not allowed to be seen by others."

But he added with a smile: "But others can't see it, but you can."

Yan Xin didn't want to talk anymore and closed his eyes: "Well... I'm very sleepy now, so I won't chat with you. I'm going to sleep."

"You go to sleep, I'll just play with my phone here for a while - my own phone." Bai Xiaoling said.

Yan Xin was afraid that this girl would take his cell phone and look through it while he was asleep, so he secretly put the cell phone next to the pillow back into his pocket.

Although there was a possibility of being crushed, he had no choice but to do this in order to keep the secrets in his phone.

The quality of Nokia mobile phones is world-famous. It is said to be a portable weapon as famous as bricks and is not so easy to be crushed.

After putting it in his pocket, he fell asleep peacefully.

After a while, I fell asleep.

Hearing the sound of snoring, Bai Xiaoling gently moved the chair to the bedside.
