When the carriage returned to the village, it was already dark.

Li Cuicui hugged Ye Xiaojin and walked all the way home.

Logically speaking, there should be no one at home, but from a distance there was a light.

Li Cuicui was a little panicked, "Why is there light in our house?"

Ye Zhiping didn't know either.

I had to go home quickly and take a look.

A 13-year-old boy was sitting at the door and saw them go home.

He quickly stood up and said, "Mom, Dad, where have you been today? Have you taken your sister to see a doctor?"

Li Cuicui was relieved when she saw it was her third son.

The young man looked thin and wore thin clothes that were a little dirty.

At first glance, he looked like he just came back from the construction site.

Li Cuicui smiled and said, "No, I went to the county town and you didn't even say a word when you came back."

"Where are your eldest and second brothers? Why don't you come back with you?"

Ye Huai smiled: "The village next door sent them to work for two days."

"The eldest brother and the second brother are afraid that they will have nothing to do at home, so they want to earn more work points first."

"Mom and Dad, I've boiled hot water. You go and take a shower quickly."

He took Ye Xiaojin and held her in his arms, "Jinbao, you finally gained some weight."

Ye Xiaojin looked at the young man. He was delicate, with single eyelids and a very handsome appearance.

Although he is the youngest brother, his temper is not lively.

She looked at Ye Huai longingly and muttered: "Third brother."

"Hey!" Ye Huai responded happily and took out half a piece of rock candy from his pocket, "Here, open your mouth."

Ye Xiaojin opened her mouth, and a piece of sweet rock candy was stuffed into her mouth.

It was so sweet that she couldn't help but squint her eyes.

This rock candy was made from big rock candy, and he probably wouldn't even be willing to eat it himself.

"Thank you, brother."

"Jin Bao will still thank brother?" Ye Huai smiled with his eyes crooked, "Do you still have a fever and cough recently?"

Ye Xiaojin shook his head, "No."

"As long as Jinbao stays healthy." Ye Huai said, rubbing his chin on her furry head.

Ye Xiaojin has a very weak impression of young people.

But his attitude made her relax.

Ye Xiaojin had no family in her previous life, but this was the first time she experienced the affection between brother and sister.

She took out a White Rabbit toffee from her pocket and said, "Brother, here you go."

Ye Huai knew that his family didn't buy candies very often, and they might not buy them even once throughout the year.

He smiled and said: "Brother doesn't like sweets."

"Brother eat, I still have some."

Ye Huai shook his head, "Jinbao eat it."

In the house, Li Cuicui and Ye Zhiping started cooking.

Ye Huai put Ye Xiaojin under the quilt.

He went out to talk to his parents, "Mom and Dad, I... found in my room today..."

He hesitated for a long time, not knowing how to ask.

When I came back, I found no one at home.

When I returned to my room, I saw a strange iron thing in the room.

He looked at it for a long time without understanding it.

There is also a big black box that lights up when you press a button.

It almost startled him.

Moreover, the rice tank at home is full and the oil tank is full.

There are even new cotton-padded clothes and trousers in my clothes box.

Before his parents came back, he didn't dare to touch anything at home, so he just sat at the door helplessly until now.

Li Cuicui smiled and said: "The life in our family is better than before."

She felt a little guilty, "Because your sister was ill, you were unable to continue studying."

"You are still so young and have to do things to earn work points. Do you feel resentful towards me?"

Ye Huai quickly shook his head with sincere eyes: "I don't blame you, and..."

"No one continues to study, including Wang Xiaohu and Sun Cai."

"I'm working in the village, so I can still work with them."

He smiled, showing a pair of small pear dimples: "This is much more interesting than reading."

Li Cuicui knew that Ye Huai still wanted to study.

She saw that he had neatly packed all his previous textbooks in his room.

The family is feeling better for the time being, but once Jinbao's illness breaks out, it will cost a lot of money.

Li Cuicui felt increasingly guilty, "I can't help you."

"Mom, don't say that, you are so kind to me." Ye Huai said quickly: "You haven't told me what the things in my room are."

Li Cuicui was busy cooking, smiling helplessly.

Ye Zhiping called Ye Huai over and told him about the family affairs.

Ye Huai was stunned when he heard this, "Are there really gods in the world?"

"Shh, don't let anyone know about this." Ye Zhiping said seriously: "Otherwise, someone will probably be concerned about your sister's ability."

"I know, dad, don't worry, I will keep the secret." His eyes were full of determination, "I will also protect my sister."

Li Cuicui fried a bacon and an egg.

Ye Xiaojin came to the dinner table. She had eaten sweets and was not very hungry. She ate a little and went to bed.

Ye Huai held the bowl and swallowed.

He clearly remembered that there used to be no hot rice at home.

In spring, I make some mugwort dumplings. Although they don’t taste very good, they are very filling.

There are more vegetables in summer, so you can eat more vegetables and less rice.

In autumn, in the first half of the season, we can only go up to the mountains to catch game to satisfy our hunger.

If the millet grows in the second half of the season, you can have enough food until winter.

But every year they have to sell some of their millet in exchange for some money to buy medicine for their sister.

Seeing that her son didn't dare to move his chopsticks, Li Cuicui felt sad again and said, "Xiaohuai, please eat more meat quickly."

"There is some bacon at home, feel free to eat it."

"There's probably nothing good to eat in the canal. Eat more."

Ye Huai sandwiched some meat and then ate eggs.

For him, eggs are also a rare delicacy.

Ye Zhiping slapped the table and said, "You eat meat, the family is full now."

"Bacon... let my sister get up tomorrow and leave it for her to eat."

Ye Zhiping shook his head, then forcibly picked up the vegetable bowl and gave him half a bowl of bacon.

Ye Huai was at a loss, "I, I can't eat that much."

Li Cuicui comforted her: "Xiaohuai, just eat more, you are growing taller."

"Don't be like your father, who couldn't keep up with nutrition when he was a child and was so short."

"You have to grow taller to get a wife."

Ye Huai was embarrassed, "Mom, I'm still young."

Ye Huai ate two large bowls of rice and had never been so full.
