Li Laidi was holding his sister who was turning purple from the cold, and had to take off his torn and leaky cotton-padded jacket to wrap her up.
Then he endured the cold and walked quickly to the entrance of the village.
"Nan Bao, grandma will bring you a cornmeal steamed bun to eat, okay?"
Ma Yuehong was stirring up the pot.
The steam rises, and the sweet smell of cornmeal fills your nose.
"Okay!"
Mu Nannan couldn't help but swallow, raised his head, and watched eagerly.
Ji Beinian next to him looked funny.
Afraid that she would be burned by the freshly baked steamed buns, he took it one step ahead of her:
"Grandma Ma, I'll get it."
Ma Yuehong saw his love for her granddaughter and smiled as she handed over the small porcelain bowl with two steamed buns. Gave it to him.
After he cooled it off, Mu Nannan couldn't wait to hold one in her little hands and start eating.
"Aunt Ma, our potato stewed pork is ready. Are your wowotou steamed?"
"Steamed!"
Ma Yuehong and Liu Xiuying worked together to move the big steamer out.
People in the village who had finished cooking with bowls came over one after another to get them.
Many people took three or four.
"Aunt Ma is so good at steaming steamed buns!"
A woman praised while nibbling the steamed buns:
"No wonder you can make Nan Bao fat and white!"
Her voice was so loud that everyone gathered around to eat. The villagers laughed when they heard this.
Mu Nannan, who was sitting next to Ma Yuehong, put her chubby hands behind her back with some embarrassment.
Although she knew that the villagers smiled kindly, she was a girl, and girls all love beauty, okay?
She also didn't want to be chubby and round like a big black belly.
"Not fat."
Ji Beinian, who never spoke to the villagers, repeated with a straight face:
"Nan Bao is not fat."
It's just some baby fat. Where is the fat?
Mu Nannan was moved:
"Little brother~"
Ji Beinian looked down at her and let her fat paws hold him.
The woman with a loud voice saw her and immediately exclaimed:
"Nan Bao and Ji Xiaozi have such a good relationship, they are like real brothers and sisters."
Everyone in the Mu family loved to hear this.
After getting along for a long time, they had long regarded Ji Beinian as their own child.
"Brothers and sisters are not so close. Mr. Ji took great care of Nan Bao. He gave Nan Bao all the good things and even fed him himself. I looked at him, and it seemed like he was raising a little daughter-in-law."
"Aunt Chen is so so . When you talk about it, it's really similar!"
"Ji Xiaozi is cold and indifferent to everyone, but he is very kind to Nan Bao. This is not raising a daughter-in-law, what else can he do?"
The aunt in the village They were getting further and further away from each other, and some even joked and shouted to Mu Jianfeng:
"I said, the third son of the Mu family has such a good son-in-law, why don't you go to your own house early and settle the baby as soon as possible, and when he is old? Let the two babies get married."
Hearing this, Mu Jianfeng frowned and said,
"Madam, Nan Bao is still a kid, you are just joking."
He couldn't bear to let his daughter get married.
"Haha, take a look, the third child got anxious when he heard that his daughter was going to be married off..."
Li Laidi, who came with his sister who was breathing weakly, looked at Mu Nannan who was eating meat and listened to the people in front of him speaking cheerfully about her. Laughter, the young mind suddenly felt the injustice and resentment sensitively.
They are both girls, so how come she has been tortured and scolded all this time, doing several times more work than her peers, and eating rotten sweet potatoes and rice bran that even pigs would not eat.
But Mu Nannan could be pampered by the whole family and even most of the people in the village, eating precious pork, drinking milk powder that even money could not buy, and being cared for wholeheartedly by a beautiful boy from the city. .
Li Laidi held his sister's hand tighter and tighter, and a voice in his heart told her:
"This is not fair!"
