He is From Great Sea of Stars

Chapter 5: 1970s sisters

After talking, he arrived at Jiang's house.

The Jiang family's house was built on the mountain, and lived next to the original He family.

But now, they are all surrounded by fences.

This is set by the team.

The team sympathized with He Nian and He Yi's two children who were orphaned when they were young, and had no relatives left. The Jiang family adopted them, and even the house with the He family was given to the Jiang family.

Huo Xingchao thought about it.

It seems that when the Jiang family split up later, even the house with the He family became his own, and he didn't leave He Nian and He Yi for half of the time.

Just say that they live first, and then build a new brick house for them when they grow up.

He Nian didn't express her opinion because she was young, and Grandma Jiang wouldn't tell her many things, and Mother Huo didn't say anything herself.

So she didn't realize how much "support" the Jiang family had been given by Grandpa Huo in that city in the past two years.

In her heart, Grandma Jiang was the benefactor who kindly adopted herself and her younger brother.

They were given food, paper and pen for tuition, and new clothes every year, which was almost better for them than the Jiang family's own children.

Although she felt distressed about the two houses, she still felt that she should not have done such an "ungrateful" thing.

So usually, she always responds to Jiang Xiaxia's requests and rarely refuses.

......

They pushed open the wooden door and walked in, and they smelled the smell of the food, and it seemed that there was also the aroma of meat.

Jiang Xiaxia's face immediately showed a touch of excitement.

That's right, now that the Chinese New Year is coming, the team should have divided pork.

Huo Xingchao looked around.

The houses are all made of mud. There are several rows of large stones embedded in each other under the mud wall next to the door. The small wooden shed against the wall is full of chopped wood and firewood. The second daughter-in-law of the Jiang family Doing laundry in the yard.

Seeing them, he quickly greeted them with a smile, then wiped his hands on his clothes, and brought them inside to greet them.

"Mom, Shuyue is here, and she's bringing Xingchao with her!"

"Yo, the Star Dynasty is also here. Come in, come in. Grandma will make you a double-cooked pork at noon."

From inside came Grandma Jiang's voice full of laughter.

Open the door is the stove.

As soon as Uncle Jiang entered the house, he casually scooped a ladle of raw water into the water tank to drink.

Grandma Jiang glared at him, then brought two cups of tea with a smile.

Huo's mother put a few tea leaves in her cup, and Huo Xingchao's was sugar water.

"Xingchao, there are fruits on the table, you are welcome, take them and eat them."

Huo Xingchao politely thanked Grandma Jiang.

Star Dynasty?

He Yi, who was sitting behind the stove and was concentratingly roasting sweet potatoes, raised his head.

As soon as he saw Huo Xingchao standing by the door, he immediately put down his pliers and walked over with his short legs.

"Brother Xingchao! Why are you here?"

......

He Yi is three years old this year, and it is the time to be naughty and troublesome.

Grandma Jiang took him to the city once before.

Although Huo Xingchao was muddled, he was most afraid of his grandfather.

His grandfather cared about the two grandchildren of his old comrade-in-arms. Even if Huo Xingchao said a word to He Nian and He Yigan, he would be beaten by the old man.

So when He Yi came to the city, he gave it like an ancestor, walking around the streets with a milk baby, and buying him snacks with all his pocket money.

So, although they only got along for half a day, in He Yi's young heart, Huo Xingchao was the best person besides her sister.

As soon as he was excited, he ran over and hugged his thigh.

"Brother Xingchao, I baked sweet potatoes, do you want to eat them?"

Huo Xingchao didn't respond, he took out his schoolbag and stuffed him a can of fruit candy.

There aren't many candy cans these days. This can of fruit candy was brought to him by his aunt who married to the provincial capital.

The clear glass bottle with colorful candies in it looks very pretty.

At the very least, He Yi opened his mouth wide in surprise, widened his eyes, and there was excitement in his voice,

"All, all for me?"

Huo Xing nodded to the atmosphere.

"Give you all."

The child was holding a jar of candy and couldn't help but forgot about the sweet potato he had baked halfway through.

But before the candy jar was hot in his hand, his sister took it.

The little girl looked serious,

"Xiaoyi, if you eat too much sugar, you will eat bad teeth. Put it with me, and I will give you one every day."

......

A child of this age has no restraint in eating and playing. If He Nian doesn't control it, he can chew such a can of sugar in a week.

He Yi pursed his lips, but looking at his sister's serious eyes, he still didn't refute.

The little head is devastated.

Huo Xingchao squatted down and whispered to him.

"It's okay to put it with your sister. But if your sister gives your candy to others, you must remember to cry. Next time you come to the city, I will call the shots for you."

"Especially the greedy Jiang Xiaxia, you must not let her coax your sister. If she eats it, she will not give you any leftovers, you know?"

......

This statement makes a lot of sense.

He Yi nodded immediately, looked at his candy jar vigilantly, and bared his teeth at Jiang Xiaxia next to him.

Live like a little wolf that protects food.

Unfortunately.

Although they were whispering, but the whole kitchen was so big, everyone who should be heard heard it.

Jiang Xiaxia was already very aggrieved by Huo Xingchao's fierce appearance before, she would almost cry at this moment.

Mother Huo coughed lightly, kicked her son directly, and glared at him,

"Let's play, don't mess around here!"

Huo Xingchao was not annoyed, and smiled and held He Yi's hand, "Come on, I have something good for you."

When He Yi's eyes lit up, he pulled him and ran to his room.

But the young man did not forget to turn around and drag He Nian,

"Stop playing with your broken stone, I brought you something else."

Only Jiang Xiaxia was left on the spot.

But she looked at the backs of the three of them, stayed for a while, dawdled, and finally couldn't hold back and ran over.

......

Grandma Jiang chuckled, "They're children, joking, but in fact they have a good relationship."

"Yeah, this child of Xingchao, it will be sunny and rainy for a while, thanks to Xiaxia not bothering with him."

Mother Huo echoed a few words, and after a while, she said in surprise,

"By the way, how many of Anhua Anye and the others, why haven't they seen anyone?"

Grandma Jiang has three sons.

The eldest gave birth to three children. The eldest son, An Hua, was two years older than Huo Xingchao, but because he went to school late, he was in the same second year of junior high school as Huo Xingchao.

The only girl, Jiang Xiaxia, is about the same age as He Nian. Coincidentally, the youngest son, Anye, is the same age as He Yi.

The second child also has three children, but all three are girls. Because of this, Grandma Jiang never liked this second daughter-in-law very much.

As for the third child, they got married the year before.

The daughter-in-law is now just seven months pregnant, and is sitting at the table with a big belly talking to Mother Huo.

Hearing her question, he answered with a smile,

"They've all gone out to play, and when it's lunchtime, they'll be back for dinner."

"That's good, I have prepared a red envelope..."

......

The adults were chatting in the stove, and He Yi was already walking on short legs and couldn't wait to pull him into his room.

He lives with his sister now.

In the room there is a bed that is not too big or small, a cabinet with broken corners, and a small bench.

There was a nail on the wall, and a schoolbag was hanging on it.

Beyond that, there was nothing else.

He Yi reached out to open the cabinet. The cabinet was unlocked, but since his hands were too short to open, he could only turn his head and ask brother Xingchao for help.

Huo Xingchao pulled away for him and asked him casually, "What do you want?"

"I'm going to put the sugar bowl in! Lock it!"

He Nian was helpless, so he had to pass the sugar bowl in his hand under his eager and vigilant eyes.

There isn't much in the closet.

Just a few clothes, shoes and socks, a small box, a few stones, and other trivial things that seem particularly worthless.

It seems that this small cabinet is very empty.

Huo Xingchao's eyebrows rose immediately. "Is that all you have?"

He Nian didn't understand why he was suddenly angry, and was stunned, "What's wrong?"

"What about the things my grandfather asked to bring to you?"

The young man frowned, and his tone was very dissatisfied,

"And my mother, the Jiang family comes to get things every month. It's money, cloth, and tickets. Why, did you feed the dogs?"

He Nian didn't realize what he meant for a while, and he forgot to close the cabinet door, so he was stunned.

It was He Yi, who didn't understand half of what he heard, raised his head and asked curiously,

"Brother Xingchao, have the dogs eaten the food you brought us? Is it a lot?"

Huo Xingchao snorted,

"Enough for you to fill this closet."

......

He widened his eyes, then stamped his feet, angry,

"Whose dog is this, why is this! Bad! Bad!"

He Nian finally reacted at this moment and was surprised, "Does Grandpa Huo send us something every month?"

"What do you think, our family gives so much money every month for food, why do you think the Jiang family wants to raise your two children, can they afford them!"

......

In fact, at the beginning, the Jiang family adopted He Nian and He Yi only because of guilt.

But Huo Xingchao felt that their minds had been broken long ago, so he just reversed the cause and effect and said it was even worse.

He Nian frowned and looked up at him,

"Brother Huo, does your family... give them a lot of things every month?"

them.

With just these two words, Huo Xingchao judged that in He Nian's heart, the Jiang family was not so close.

So he simply nodded, "A lot."

"Anyway, there are enough to support two of me."

...This sentence shocked He Nian too much.

She always thought that the Jiang family had kindly adopted her and her younger brother. For the past two years, she has been sharing food for the two of them from her own rations.

Therefore, even though there will inevitably be grievances sometimes, she has endured it.

Because she felt that that was what she should have, and that she had to repay them.

But......

But now tell her that it is not the Jiang family who has been raising them, but the Huo family.

Moreover, every month Grandma Jiang went to the city and brought back the large and small bags that she did not buy herself, but the Huo family entrusted her to bring them to their siblings.

A string in He Nian's heart suddenly snapped.

She only felt that almost all the knowledge and impressions she had developed in the past few years were collapsing.

He stood there in a daze, not speaking for a long time.

"He Nian are you stupid?"

The teenager frowned, reached out and shook her eyes,

"Wait, I'll go to them and ask them to get everything back!"

"Brother Huo!"

The little girl stopped him immediately.

There was anxiety in his voice, "You can't go!"

Huo Xingchao stopped and turned his head,

"So many things to eat, drink, and wear are taken away by others. They are still pretending to be a big-tailed wolf with you. Don't you feel bad?"

"I... feel bad."
