He Tiantian diligently brought out a large pot of corn and sweet potato porridge from the kitchen.
He Tiantian placed a large enamel basin on the Eight Immortals table in the main room and shouted towards the yard.
"Hey! Hey!" He Dazhuang squatted at the wall, holding a cigarette he had rolled with his child's homework paper, and was smoking.
The cut tobacco was a low-quality cut tobacco with a strong taste, but He Dazhuang cherished it very much.
He took small sips and was reluctant to throw away the last bit. He took a few puffs and the fire almost burned his fingers, then reluctantly threw the butt of the cigarette on the ground and crushed it with his shoe.
He Dazhuang stood up and looked at the busy figure in the hall uncomfortably.
Two years ago, when Xu Xiulan confessed her life experience to He Tiantian, she also told He Dazhuang by the way.
He Dazhuang is a typical rural man, a bit patriarchal, but there is nothing he can do about it.
Only with a son can the family have strong labor force, earn work points, and share food.
But this doesn't mean that he doesn't like his daughter.
He Dazhuang didn't say anything, but every time Xu Xiulan beat and scolded Zhou Zixuan, he would quietly stop her.
Zhou Zixuan would run to his grandparents' house, and He Dazhuang secretly guided him.
At that time, He Dazhuang only thought that his wife was too patriarchal, so he did not want to see his daughter.
Result, result... God knows how much shock He Dazhuang received when he heard Xu Xiulan talking about the events of that year in a casual tone.
He Dazhuang was usually such an honest and useless person, but that night he almost fell out with Xu Xiulan.
Of course, it's just "almost".
After all, he was still weak-tempered and afraid of his wife. Although he was unhappy, he still squatted at the door sullenly, sulking to himself.
At that time, they only knew the truth, and the two children had not been exchanged, so He Dazhuang felt at a loss.
Now, Zhou Zixuan and He Tiantian have returned to their respective places and homes. For a moment, He Dazhuang didn't know how to face this biological daughter who was not raised by his side.
In particular, He Tiantian looks good, is well-dressed, and looks like a coquettish girl in the city.
He Dazhuang looked at his rough, black big hands, the patched clothes he was wearing, and the large rural cotton shoes that had a hole in them, and his toes were about to poke out...
During the day, He Dazhuang also saw Zhou Chuanguo.
He is obviously three years older than him, but he looks much younger than him.
His hair was black and shiny, and he was wearing a woolen trench coat. He was wearing an eighty-percent-new dark gray Chinese tunic suit. There was a pen in the right jacket pocket, he was wearing half-worn large-toe cotton shoes, and he was holding a briefcase in his hand.
That appearance and grandeur were simply more dignified than the captain of their production brigade.
When I met him, I thought he was a leader from the city.
Zhou Chuanguo and He Tiantian seem to be more like father and daughter.
And He Dazhuang is just a weakling with no money, no power and no ability.
A deep sense of inferiority spread quietly in He Dazhuang's heart.
He Dazhuang was even worried that what if his daughter came back and disliked him and the He family?
He Tiantian is no longer a child. She is a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl. As a father, he cannot beat or scold her. It is really——
He Dazhuang felt a headache just thinking about it.
However, He Dazhuang never imagined that after He Tiantian returned to the He family, he would not show any strange expression when he saw the dilapidated house, the furniture with missing arms and legs, and his father who looked like an old farmer.
In front of Zhou Chuanguo, He Tiantian took the initiative to call He Dazhuang dad.
At that time, He Dazhuang also thought that this child might be sensible and did not want to show his unwanted side in front of outsiders.
After Zhou Chuanguo left, He Dazhuang discovered that He Tiantian was getting closer to the couple.
They have a mother and a father, and their affectionate attitude seems to have been with them since childhood.
There is no barrier or any strangeness.
Seeing such a well-behaved and sensible daughter, He Dazhuang felt extremely complicated.
Alas, such a good child has been raised in other people's homes for more than ten years.
But the daughter he raised and loved regarded the entire He family as enemies.
This, what the hell is this?
In fact, not only He Dazhuang was worried and awkward, but the other two children of the He family were also very uncomfortable.
He Tiantian was Xu Xiulan's first child. Not long after giving birth, Xu Xiulan became pregnant again.
This time she was so awesome that she gave birth to twins, both sons.
Xu Xiulan was already fierce, but with her son by her side, she straightened up even more.
The two sons are fifteen years old this year. The eldest is called He Jiabao. He is tall and strong, but he doesn't like studying very much. He barely made it to the second grade of junior high school and then refused to study. He came back to farm with his parents.
The second child, He Jiayu, is more handsome and smart. He skipped one grade in elementary school and was admitted to the county high school this year.
He usually lives on campus and had winter vacation yesterday. He just got home at noon today.
Brothers He Jiabao and He Jiayu are fraternal twins, so they look different.
Upon closer inspection, He Tiantian and He Jiayu look somewhat similar, both have double eyelids and big eyes.
After Xu Xiulan finished cooking, she came to the main room and saw a whole family gathered around the Eight Immortals table.
He Tiantian and He Jiayu sit next to each other, and when they come together, one can tell at a glance that they are biological siblings.
Well, it is indeed my biological child, and it is pleasing to the eye.
"Jia Bao, Jia Yu, this is your biological sister He Tiantian. From now on, you two brothers must protect your sister!"
As the head of the family, Xu Xiulan naturally had to speak on behalf of the whole family. She said seriously, "Tiantian, these two are your biological brothers. You must take good care of them!"
Jiayu follows her, she is smart, studies well, and will be able to get into college in the future, so she doesn't have to worry too much.
But Jiabao seems to have been plucked from He Dazhuang. He is naive and honest. He knows nothing but farming. In the future, he will definitely need the help of his sister and brother.
Xu Xiulan, like many elders, hopes that her children can love each other and support each other.
Especially He Tiantian, she has the highest starting point and sufficient capital. As long as she marries into a good family, everyone in the He family can benefit from her.
"Mom, I got it!" He Jiabao touched his head naively and glanced at He Tiantian cautiously.
Seeing He Tiantian's quiet and delicate appearance, he was a little surprised and a little inferior, but more importantly, he was happy - this is my biological sister.
"Yeah!" He Jiayu was more cautious, responded lightly, and turned to look at He Tiantian.
Suddenly, I discovered that this expensive and cheap sister seemed to look a bit like myself.
Although He Jiayu has a twin brother, it was the first time that he felt the magic of blood relationship!
He Tiantian was generous and allowed her two younger brothers to look at her.
He Tiantian was not too resistant to Xu Xiulan's expectations.
In this era, brothers and sisters are valued for helping each other and loving each other. If there is an outstanding child in the family, they should support and take care of other siblings.
"Mom, don't worry, I will take good care of Jiabao and Jiayu."
He Tiantian smiled faintly, suddenly thought of something, and turned to ask Xu Xiulan: "Mom, I remember you said that Jiabao worked in the production team after school?"
Xu Xiulan seemed to have guessed something, her eyes lit up, "Tiantian, do you have any good ideas?"
She knew that her daughter Tiantian was not born in vain.
He Tiantian did not rush to answer Xu Xiulan, but asked He Jiabao: "Jiabao, what do you want to do? Or what are your specialties?"
He Jiabao suddenly became the focus of the whole family's attention, and his face suddenly turned red.
He scratched his head and said naively, "I, I don't have anything to do, I just like farming!"
Xu Xiulan:......
You worthless fool!
He Tiantian is not angry. On the contrary, she likes He Jiabao's attitude: if you can do it, you can do it; if you can't, you can't do it. He can farm the land steadily and live a good life.
"Farming is too hard, and there is no future. So, Jiabao, just follow me and learn about herbal medicine." In the future, if the policy improves, He Jiabao can also be allowed to grow herbal medicine or specialize in breeding...
