Chapter 93: Scared the Crying Child
After returning home first, Ruan Qingyue found that Lin Hongrui had returned, put down the hoe, and asked, "Hey, the people in the village said that your eldest sister is back, have you seen it?" β
"Nope." Lin Hongrui shook his head, hesitated, and said, "Let's go over." β
"Okay. I had planned to go too. Ruan Qingyue went to the well to wash her hands and asked:
"Is the eldest sister on good terms with you? How many years older than you? I haven't seen her yet, she hasn't come back for half a year since I got married, and she didn't even come on the day I got married. β
Although Ruan Qingyue asked, she already thought in her heart that this relationship is not good.
But he didn't want to, Lin Hongrui said: "My eldest sister is very good to me, five years older than me, but unfortunately when she got married, I couldn't come back to see her." I thought that after settling down in the past two days, I would go to see her. β
When he learned that he was married, his eldest sister wrote to him to tell him, otherwise, he would have been kept in the dark.
Ruan Qingyue glanced at him in surprise, she didn't expect that the relationship was not bad, which made her curious about this eldest sister.
I want to see for myself and find out who she is.
"Then let's go." Ruan Qingyue wiped her hands and face clean, and said to him with a smile.
-
Ruan Qingyue and the others pushed open the courtyard gate, and when they walked in, they saw a thin woman squatting by the well, with braids and patched clothes, washing clothes.
Standing next to her was a little girl about two or three years old, also thin and small, with sparse and yellow hair, obviously malnourished.
"Big sister!" Lin Hongrui took a step forward and shouted with joy on his face.
"Small, Xiao Rui?!" When Lin Xuehua heard this, she turned around, and the moment she saw Lin Hongrui, her eyes widened with surprise and joy, and she quickly stood up and ran towards it.
"Oh my God! Xiao Rui, why have you grown so tall! Sister doesn't dare to recognize you! Lin Xuehua ran to Lin Hongrui, grabbed his arm, and looked him up and down, shocked and happy.
"Sister, why are you so thin?" Lin Hongrui also looked at her, which was very different from what he remembered, and asked with concern.
"After giving birth to Tingting, I was sick and lost weight." Lin Xuehua said lightly, then looked at Ruan Qingyue on the side, looked at her a few times, and said with a smile at her:
"This is Autumn Moon, right? I am Hongrui's eldest sister, when you got married before, Tingting had a serious illness, I couldn't leave, I couldn't come over. It's not my fault to see you now. β
Ruan Qingyue hurriedly said that it didn't matter, for a while, this eldest sister made her a little incomprehensible, thinking that she was like an ordinary village woman, with a simple face, with a hint of sorrow, and she seemed to be very weak, but after a closer look, she felt that it was not.
"Eldest sister, that's Tingting?" Lin Hongrui looked at the little girl standing by the well, tilting his head, his face was a little timid.
"That's right! Tingting, come here. Lin Xuehua turned her head, waved at her daughter with a smile, and when she trotted over, she immediately bent down and picked her up, pointed at Lin Hongrui, and said to her:
"This is your uncle, call uncle."
"Uncle." The little girl looked at the tall and serious Lin Hongrui a little timidly, but she was still well-behaved.
Lin Hongrui faced such a young child for the first time, and was called uncle, he was very happy in his heart, but he was a little at a loss.
He tried to pull the corners of his mouth, revealing a slightly stiff smile, then hesitated, then reached out again, and patted the little girl's head gently, "It's so small." β
And thenβ
"Wow...... Woo woo woo ......" Tingting glared at him, suddenly cried out, turned her head, hugged her mother's neck, and her little body trembled with crying.
Lin Hongrui, "......"
Ruan Qingyue glanced at him with a completely stunned and even frightened look, and laughed out loud.
