Crossing the farm gate, the whole family reunites in the disaster year

Rather than being a qualified big brother, he should be himself.

The five children of the third wife all had things they wanted to do, but Erlang was the only one who quietly farmed.

The Cui family members all looked good. Except for Erlang's rough hands, his upright figure was like a green bamboo, and his skin was whiter than others, making him particularly conspicuous in the village.

Although he has never been to school, he has been the eldest brother in the family for so many years and is more stable than his peers. In addition, the child is taciturn and has a sense of alienation. He looks more like a scholar than Jingwen.

No wonder he is considered a son-in-law.

Lin’s consistent principle in educating children is non-intervention. Every child has different ideas, and one template cannot be applied to all children.

As long as they don't go astray, she is willing to let her children explore their inner selves and discover a path that truly interests them.

Erlang bowed deeply to Lin.

"Thank you, third aunt."

Ever since Third Aunt returned to the village, he no longer loved and depended on her like Xiao Si and the others did. Instead, he felt more respect and uneasiness towards her.

Their parents are too lazy to take care of them, so how long will Third Aunt’s kindness to them last?

So he always kept a distance from his third aunt and took care of the crops carefully, thinking that if one day the five of them had to depend on each other again, he would have a way out.

But during this period of time, he truly felt the kindness of his third aunt, who taught Silang how to do business, taught them how to read, and helped them build a house.

Third Aunt was like a distant torch in the morning mist. That bright light was reassuring and guided them in the direction they should go.

As long as Aunt San is at home, everyone seems to be able to find something to do. They run around outside during the day and rush back home from all over as soon as it gets dark, ending the day happily and looking forward to the next day.

During the days when he couldn't go out, he thought a lot.

His younger brothers and sisters no longer needed him to keep an eye on them. Silang and Lidong set up stalls every day, and the money they took home was getting fatter day by day, which made him feel a little jealous.

It’s impossible for him, as the eldest brother, to rely on his younger siblings for support in the future.

After thinking it over, he decided to go out for a walk.

Lin gently helped him up and asked gently, "When do you plan to leave? Is this trip far from home?"

"Aunt, to be honest, I haven't been out much." Erlang pursed his lips and said, "I plan to leave early tomorrow morning and go out to look around. If I can find a job, I'll earn some money. If I can't find one, I'd like to visit more places."

Lin didn't say anything, and it was obvious that he had no plans.

It's also good to go out and have a look.

"Then Aunt San won't say anything. I have a pair of shoes here that were originally made for Jingwen. Your feet are about the same size. Try them on to see if they fit. If not, I'll alter them tonight."

"...No need, Aunt San. It would be a waste to wear new shoes when going out."

Lin didn't allow him to refuse. She took out the pair of shoes from the house and stuffed them into his hands.

"You should only wear a pair of comfortable shoes when you go out. Don't let your feet be wronged. Wear your homemade shoes. When you feel tired, think of your family. We are all waiting for you at home."

Erlang couldn't help it, his eyes turned red for a moment, and he lowered his head to put on his shoes.

Lin pinched it back and forth: "Well, it's a little small, you can take it off, I will adjust it tonight."

Erlang carefully took off his shoes and returned them to Aunt San. He took a deep breath and turned back to the house.

The next morning.

Without the usual frolicking, the yard was surprisingly quiet.
