"Aunt Hong is here." Si Chen spoke first, breaking the stiff atmosphere.

For the first time in so many years, Wan Hong heard Si Chen call her "Aunt Hong" and was stunned for a moment.

Mrs. Si quickly glanced around between Si Chen and Wan Hong, and smiled:

"Your Aunt Hong came to see Lixia and the dolls."

Then, she changed the subject, pointed at Si Chen's muddy raincoat, and deliberately raised her voice:

"You've all turned into mud monkeys. Go, go, take off your clothes first and go outside into the pool."

Mrs. Si pushed Si Chen out.

Although he has changed a bit, Mrs. Si is still unsure of his attitude towards Wan Hong.

Outside the house, by the public pool.

"Your Aunt Hong means well, don't be stupid!" Mrs. Si lowered her voice and poked Si Chen's arm with her fist.

"Don't worry, grandma, I know what to do and I won't let you get off the stage." Si Chen took off his raincoat.

Mrs. Si's heart finally dropped back into her chest.

Just now, she even had the idea that Si Chen would rush in and snatch the baby back from Wan Hong's arms.

In the past, Si Chen would open his mouth and shut up about "the woman named Wan", and his attitude was extremely bad.

Wan Hong originally had a husband, an educated youth who went to the countryside.

Later, when the educated youth returned to the city, it was said that the man's family in Longcheng was quite big, and when he left, he took their son with him.

When Wan Hong married Si Qingsong, Si Chen was already seven years old. He was born with a prickly personality, and his rejection of his stepmother was very serious.

The next year, Si Letian was born as a little cotton-padded baby boy, and Si Qingsong did pamper his daughter.

This led to Si Chen, who had a sharp-edged personality, to dislike Wan Hong very much.

After returning to the house, Si Chen took the initiative to make Wan Hong a glass of water, brown sugar water.

There was an unwritten rule in Yuanmeng County in the 1980s and 1990s: when a male guest comes to the house, make tea; when a female guest comes to the house, make brown sugar water.

When the glass with the words "Yuanmeng County People's Hospital" printed in red was handed to Wan Hong's hand, she seemed extremely embarrassed.

"Hey, hey!" Wan Hong took it, with mixed feelings in her heart.

All these years of resignation seemed to come rushing back in an instant.

There was mist gathering in her eyes, and she didn't dare to raise her head for fear of being discovered and embarrassed.

Si Letian on the side, with big black and white almond-shaped eyes, blinked and said with a smile:

"Brother, I want it too. I'm an aunt now. Make me some brown sugar water."

"Okay, my aunt, I can't live without you." Si Chen smiled happily, turned around, and made another cup.

"Brother, you are not very funny. The baby was already born and you didn't even tell us." Si Letian said:

"I still know it from Xiaoxiao, and Xiaoxiao knows it from her mother."

"Brother, if it weren't for the fact that Sister-in-law Qianqian and Sister-in-law Lixia don't live in the same ward, and Aunt Liu takes care of Sister-in-law Qianqian every day and goes home at night, I wouldn't be able to find out this news."

"You think, if I hadn't been thinking about you, how could I have gone around in such a big circle and tried so hard to find out the news?"

As soon as he was robbed by this girl, Si Chen inexplicably became someone who was criticized by others from the moral high ground.

"Okay, okay, it's all my fault. I'll apologize to you."

This girl's statement cannot stand up to scrutiny, but Si Chen is happy to pretend to be confused:

"How about you come over after school in the afternoon and let's eat stewed pig's trotters together as a family?"

The wild boar hooves I brought back yesterday have been processed and placed in the freezer.

There is a large public freezer in the family area of ​​the county hospital.

Although it was retired from a hospital and is very old, it is still suitable for occasionally storing meat.

"Okay! This is what you said, don't change your mind!" Si Letian gave his sleeping niece to his grandma and arranged: www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm

"My mother is good at stewing pig's trotters. Let my mother cook the pig's trotters tonight."

"You don't know that my mother simmered the pig's trotters that you asked Uncle Jianhua to bring to us yesterday."

“When I go back in the evening, I’ll have a delicious meal!”

Si Letian's words seemed innocent, but in fact they were intentional and connected a lot of information.

Only then did Mrs. Si know that Si Chen actually had intentions.

Looking at Si Chenshi's eyes again, I couldn't help but feel extremely happy.

Wan Hong, who was assigned to stew pig's trotters, glanced at Si Chen with some anxiety, then hurriedly looked at her mother-in-law.

"You little greedy cat!" Mrs. Si scolded with a smile and agreed:

"Yes, yes, Honghong's stewed pig's trotters are delicious. My old lady, I wish someone could help me cook."

"Oh, old man, it's very tiring to take care of two little cubs."

These words have profound meaning.

Si Chen understood that grandma hoped that they would move back in after Yan Lixia was discharged from the hospital.

In this way, Wan Hong can help take care of the children and take care of Yan Lixia as she recovers from the surgery.

He is the backbone of the family and has to protect the old, weak, women and children behind him.

The most important thing is that the separated family is reunited.

Even if it's incomplete.

"Sure, just listen to grandma's arrangements." Si Chen made a pun.

…

In the afternoon, before Si Letian went to class, Si Chen deliberately followed him out:

"Lotte, wait a moment."

"Huh? What's wrong?" Si Letian's heart pounded.

No way? Brother found out so quickly. I lied to him? No!

She asked Si Xiaoxiao to find out about Yan Lixia's birth yesterday from the village accountant.

She deliberately lied to the accountant and confirmed that the wild boar was hunted by Si Chen and that the pig trotters were given to them by Si Chen.

The accountant also said that Si Chen was anxious for money because his wife had given birth.

The No. 1 Middle School in Yuanmeng County is not far from the county hospital. The elementary, middle and high schools are all on the same campus.

Si Letian was after school yesterday and quietly came over to confirm that it was correct.

"Here you go, spend it." Si Chen drew a big unity card and gave it to Si Letian.

The clothes this girl was wearing were old and short, and her trousers were even above her ankles.

Obviously, I haven't bought new clothes in at least a year.

It can be seen how difficult life is for stepmother and sister.

Wan Hong is a kind and honest person. When her husband is gone, her backbone is gone.

At that time, all the money in hand was used to pay off the debt.

Si Letian looked at the ten dollars in his hand, pursed his lips, and hesitated to speak.

"Just take it if I let you. Why are you so polite to me?" Si Chen thought she was going to refuse.

did not expect!

"Brother, give me two more." Si Letian was extremely pragmatic:

"My tuition for this quarter is still 30 yuan short of the school."

Si Chen:......-_-||

"Really! At that time, our fourth aunt took me to the principal in person and said that my tuition would be paid on credit first and that I would pay it back over time."

Si Letian was afraid that he would not believe it, so he specially brought out Si Yuzhu, the fourth aunt.

After all, the fourth uncle is the deputy director of the Education Bureau, so the principal is very considerate of this matter.

"Brother, this semester will end in a few days." Si Letian looked pitiful:

"30 yuan. Even if my mother sells all the vegetables in the garden, even if the 20 hens in the chicken coop can lay two eggs a day, they still can't make up the 30 yuan..."

"Take it." Si Chen took out four more big unity cards and stuffed them into his sister's hand:

"My brother will pay for tuition fees, living expenses, and pocket money from now on."

His sister is his responsibility.

"Okay!" Si Letian immediately became a sunny child, put the money in his pocket, and patted his chest to confirm:
