There is a mountain in her arms

"Brother, I don't want to go!"

Xiaojun resisted subconsciously.

"But your sister-in-law and her family specially invited me, and I can't refuse. Can you help my brother?"

After saying this, Chi Yuan deliberately winked at his family members.

"Yes! Xiaojun, how about your aunt accompany you tomorrow? It's not easy for your brother to have a girl fall in love with him, so you can't let her have any opinions about him. Don't you like this sister-in-law?"

"No, I do. But..."

"Xiaojun, your sister-in-law and her family invited you to go because they value your elder brother. They love your elder brother and his family. When you go, you have to speak well of your elder brother. Maybe they will agree to let your sister-in-law in right away. I seem to remember that your sister-in-law also liked reading when she was a child. She had all kinds of books. Maybe you can borrow some books from her when you go there tomorrow."

Mr. Chi also assisted, and Chi Jun's eyes lit up when he heard about borrowing books.

"Really?"

"Yes, your sister-in-law and I had the same teacher when we were young. She also knows four languages, and she is very good at each of them."

"Xiaojun, you go with your big brother tomorrow. It's a good time to relax before school starts. After entering high school, you won't have so much time."

Chi Bei stared at Chi Jun with his deep eyes, his pupils lowered.

"I know, Dad!"

Chi Yuan looked at this scene thoughtfully. After Chi Jun went up, he called his second uncle to the study. Old Master Chi and Chi Nan followed in, and Chi Yuan was speechless.

"Grandpa, Dad, I have something to discuss with my second uncle, why did you come in?"

"You guys are using my study, but I can't come in? What's going on in this house that I can't know?"

"I'm your father, and I have the right to know!"

"Uncle, what do you think?"

"Xiao Yuan, speak up! I also want to know what you have to say? Is it related to Xiao Jun? If so, then there is nothing to hide."

Chi Bei is smart. He was a little confused when Chi Yuan suddenly said he wanted to take Xiaojun out.

"Okay! Uncle, generally speaking it's one thing, but we have to look at it as two things."

Chi Yuan told Jiang Yichen his analysis one by one, and then stared at Chi Bei.

"Uncle, I'm not very interested in the first part of our speculation, but I want to know the second part."

"Second brother, I couldn't figure out why you chose a woman like Xue Mei'er. Now tell me the truth. Why did you choose that woman?"

When Mr. Chi heard this, he exploded and yelled at Chi Bei angrily. Chi Bei took off his framed glasses, pinched his eyebrows, and felt a little helpless.

"I was tricked into having sex with her, and she got pregnant. I was afraid it would bring a bad influence to the family, and I didn't have the mood to love, but I really needed a child, so I chose her."

"No wonder! No wonder! I don't think you two get along as well as the eldest couple. Your mom even complained about why you didn't pay much attention to your choice."

"We had an agreement before we got married. I gave her the position of Mrs. Chi and a wealthy life, but she couldn't expect anything else."

"What happened to that kid?"

"It's not mine. We have always slept in separate rooms. She tried to pin the child on me before, but I exposed her. During that time, I knew that our Chi family might be targeted, but I didn't want to cause any trouble, so I endured it."

Old Master Chi didn't expect things to turn out like this. Looking at Chi Bei, he wanted to scold him but also felt sorry for him.

"I was wondering why you asked to separate them at that time. It turns out you were afraid we would know. No wonder that woman left without hesitation. After all, Xiaojun was his son! She didn't feel reluctant at all."

"I don't know what she's thinking. I've never paid any attention to her. Even when Xiaojun was a child, she was mostly taken care of by a nanny or sent to you."

"You, you! You hurt yourself and Xiaojun. I think the woman must be pregnant with the man who came after her. Otherwise, how could she accept it so easily?"

"Yes. Actually, she was the man's lover before, but her family didn't agree to marry someone else, and I was also plotted against by accident. According to her, she was originally plotting against another powerful middle-aged man, but something unexpected happened and it became me."

"You've wasted all your intelligence, and you still fell into the trap of a villain. If you had chosen to kill the mother and keep the child, I could have raised Xiaojun to be smart and clever. Just look at Xiaoyuan and you'll know."

Old Master Chi was still feeling a little upset. Originally he didn't care about his son's troubles, but now he couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"By the way, Xiao Yuan, take Xiao Jun out for walks whenever you have time. Xiao Jun is so smart in studying, why isn't he interested in anything else?"

"Chengcheng said that maybe he is timid and lives in his own world. He likes reading, not because he likes it very much, but because the world in the book is simple and there is nothing that can hurt him."

"Xiao Yuan, you should help your uncle to watch over him more in the future. It seems that I was wrong. I thought Xue Meir was a mother after all, and she should have a loving mother's heart. Our family is not perfect, but I think as long as there are parents, it is perfect for Xiaojun."

"You are busy with your career all day long, so that woman might turn a blind eye to Xiaojun. I think the reason why Xiaojun was so attached to you when he was a child was because you were the only one in your family who was willing to pay attention to him."

Chi Bei felt that Mr. Chi had revealed the truth. His face suddenly turned ugly and his eyes were fierce. It seemed that he had shown mercy to that woman before.

"Dad, don't be angry. Even if Abei is smart, he can't take care of everything at home like a woman. Besides, he doesn't want this to happen. Let's make it up to Xiaojun in the future. If Xiaojun is really sick in his heart, we should be patient and take better care of him, and he will definitely get better."

Chi Nan had always lived a happier life than Chi Bei, except for those few years when he was unhappy. At this moment, he felt sympathy and distress for his brother, so he excused him.

The men talked in secret for a long time before coming out. Even if Qiu Liping was a thick-skinned person, she felt something was wrong. After the man got into bed, she interrogated him.

Chi Nan felt that his wife would be better than him at doing this kind of thing, so he told her everything without hiding anything.

"How ridiculous! I was wondering why Xue Meir always picks on me, and this is the real reason. She's just trying to make her presence felt, for fear of becoming the invisible person in the family."

Qiu Liping still dislikes Xue Meir when she mentions her.

"You said that my second brother is so smart, how could he come up with such a stupid idea? The reason why Xue Meir dared to cheat on him must be that she thought he was easy to deceive. Xiaojun must have had a hard life. He was so cute when he was young, and he is much smarter than the brat at home."

"My wife is right. I'll trouble you to be more careful in the future. You are the only mistress in this house."

"You're not the one to tell me. I don't think I need to go with Xiaojun tomorrow. Let Xiaoyuan go with him first to get familiar with the situation. Otherwise, he'll always follow me when I go and won't want to meet people."

"Well, you are right, let's do it this way. Then my dear wife, let's go to rest too!"

Seeing that his wife was so virtuous, Chi Nan pulled the quilt over her and pounced on her.

Spring nights are short, enjoy them while you can.

The next day, Chi Jun was pulled into the car by his elder brother in a daze. It was not until he walked out of the guard post that he realized that he was a little resistant.

"Brother, can I not go today?"

"No, I have to keep my promise. Besides, I don't want to break my promise in front of your sister-in-law."

"All right!"

Chi Jun sighed, clenched his fists and tried to relax.

"What are you afraid of? You look like you're going to the battlefield! Your sister-in-law's family is very nice, her grandparents are warm and hospitable, and her brother is also a smart guy."

"Why didn't you mention her parents? Are they difficult to get along with?"

"No, her parents were martyrs. They died in the line of duty when they gave birth to her brother An An. Don't mention this when you go to her house later. It's impolite."

"I see!"

Chi Jun calmed down miraculously, and they felt a sense of sympathy even before they met.

Chi Yuan looked at the little guy behind him suspiciously through the rearview mirror. How come the aura changed in the blink of an eye?

As soon as Chi Yuan's car stopped, two little boys ran out of the door. They opened the back door and looked at Chi Jun who was stunned.

"Brother-in-law, is this your brother? Hello, little brother, my name is Jiang Yian, and this is my good friend Jiang Nan, welcome to our home."

"Xiaojun! Get out of the car!"

Seeing Chi Jun stunned, Chi Yuan unbuckled his seat belt and turned to Chi Jun before getting out of the car.

"Oh!"

After Chi Junyi got out of the car, he straightened his clothes and looked at An An.

"Hello, my name is Chi Jun, nice to meet you, guys."

After he extended his hand like a gentleman and shook hands with An An, he felt a little helpless when he saw Jiangnan staring at him strangely.

"Jiangnan, the little brother is shaking hands with you and saying hello!"

Jiangnan quickly became serious and held his hand.

"My name is Jiangnan, I'm An An's friend, nice to meet you."

"Okay, you three, stop blocking the door! Come in and help, grandma is making dumplings."

Jiang Yichen saw that they had not come in yet, so he came out to check what was going on.

"sister in law!"

"Got it! Little brother, come on! I'll teach you how to make dumplings. I like beef stuffing."

An An grabbed one of Chi Jun's hands, and Jiang Nan grabbed his other hand at the right time. Before Chi Jun could react, he just greeted Jiang Yicheng and then ran away passively.

"Xiaojun doesn't seem to be resisting!"

"It seems so! I hope this works. My mom prepared some supplements and two sets of clothes for grandpa and grandma, and also made a few sets of clothes for you and An Anding. You can try them later."

"Auntie is so thoughtful."

"You know, my mom is more interested in this, so let her do it! Otherwise she will be bored at home and think about how to torture us."

"How could you say that about your mother?"

"It's not like you haven't experienced this before? Next time I ask her to invite you out?"

"No need for that, hurry up, my grandpa is waiting for you to chop the stuffing!"

Jiang Yicheng seemed to have his tail stepped on, and left Chi Yuan behind and went into the yard. Chi Yuan smiled slightly, his mother's hobby was something few people could bear.

"Grandma, I want beef filling. Jiangnan likes braised pork filling. Little brother, what filling do you like?"

Chi Jun was a little confused. Was there still any choice?

Grandma Jiang looked at him lovingly, and saw that he didn't know how to make a choice, and remembered that he was from Beijing.

"The one with chives and eggs or the one with red bean paste?"

"I want it all!"

"Okay, let's pack some."

Chi Jun felt a little regretful after blurting out this. He didn't expect Grandma Jiang to answer like this. He suddenly felt his heart swell up.

"Grandpa, let Chi Yuan chop the stuffing! He's very strong."

As soon as Jiang Yicheng came in, he asked Chi Yuan to do some work, and Chi Yuan immediately responded loudly.

"Grandpa, let me do it. Grandma, these are the gifts my mom brought for you. This is for An An, and this is for Cheng Cheng."

"Xiao Yuan, your mother is so thoughtful. Remember to metabolize it for us when you get back."

"it is good!"

Jiang Yicheng took the apron and put it on him. Chi Yuan cooperated and took the knife from Grandpa Jiang's hand and started chopping.

Chi Jun saw how his elder brother integrated into the group so quickly and felt a little overwhelmed, so An An gave him an apron.

"Take this with you, or you'll be covered in flour."

"Thank you!"

"Do you know how to make dumplings? Do you want me to teach you?"

Chi Jun first shook his head and then nodded.

"Jiangnan doesn't know either, I'll teach you two together."

"An An, how did you wrap it so well?"

Jiangnan made two ugly buns, but when he saw the buns in Anan's hand become cute and beautiful like magic, he couldn't help asking. In fact, Chi Jun felt the same way, but he was too embarrassed to ask.

"My grandparents never let me do any work since I was little, but every time I made dumplings, my sister asked me to learn. She said dumplings are the world in your hands, and you can make them whatever you want. You can also modify them as you like to achieve the perfect look in your mind, which is also a sense of accomplishment. And I feel very happy when my family makes dumplings together, talking and laughing."

Chi Jun seemed to be thinking about something. After staring at An An and pinching two, he finally found the trick.

Jiangnan was very impressed when he saw a bun similar to An An’s was taking shape.

"Little brother, have you ever made dumplings before? How come you made them so quickly?"

"No, it's the first time today."

"You are really amazing! An An, please teach me again. When I learn it, I will go back and make some for my grandma to eat."

"no problem!"

An An slowly taught Jiangnan while he studied seriously. Soon he also learned how to make it. It was just not as pretty as the ones they made. But he was very content.

"Okay, you guys go play first, and we two old ones will go steam the buns."

"Jiangnan, let me show you around my house! Little brother, do you want to come with me? There is a plum tree in my yard, and it is in full bloom now. Let's go and take a look."

"Ok!"

An An took them out of the Xiahe Garden and Jiang Yichen's Qiufeng Garden and visited the Dongmei Garden first.

No one lives in the Winter Plum Garden yet, and the doors of the rooms are tightly closed. The plum blossoms in the yard are blooming dazzlingly, adding a little vitality to the yard.

There is also an octagonal pavilion here, which is equipped with stone tables and stone benches just like the Xiahe Garden.

"This yard is still too empty and deserted. I'll take you to my Spring Willow Garden! My sister just happened to help me set up a study room and gave me a lot of strange and bizarre books to copy down."

"Copying books? Why?"

Chi Jun was a little confused. It seemed that there was no need to copy books now!

"My sister said those books are priceless and she's afraid I'll damage them. If I want to read them, I can only copy them myself. And there's another benefit: it can help you remember more deeply."

"Did you copy it?"

"I haven't finished copying all the books yet. Some of the characters are unfamiliar. I still need to look up information to understand their meanings."

"Then can I take a look?"

"Of course! You are my brother-in-law's younger brother, so you are one of us."

Hearing An An say as a matter of course that they were one of them, Chi Jun felt a little ripple in his heart.

"what about me?"

Jiang Nan was a little anxious when he saw how nice his friends were to Chi Jun.

"You too. You are the first friend I have made since I started school, so of course you are one of my own."

"An An is right, we are all family."

"I'll take you to visit my yard. When I grow up and can take care of myself, I'll live alone. Then you can all live in my yard. I have a lot of rooms there."

"Okay!"
