On the way back, Xiao Chenye had already recounted everything that had happened during this period, picking out details. Xiao Chenxing was so angry that he started cursing.

Xiao Chenye had no choice but to warn his sister on the way not to talk nonsense after returning home.

Xiao Chenxing kept it in mind. Even though she wanted to tickle Li Chenggang to death, she held it back and didn't show any anger. She acted like a good little sister in front of her sister.

After reminiscing about the past for a while, Xiao Chenxing turned his attention to Wen Ran.

He grinned, "This is Sister Xiao Wen."

Wen Ran greeted with a smile, "Chenxing, right? I often hear your brother mention you."

"Oh?" Xiao Chenxing said mischievously, "My little brother? Sister Xiao Wen, can he say two good words about me?"

Xiao Chenye came out with a bowl in hand, sipped the brown sugar water, raised his hand and slapped Xiao Chenxing on the head, "Speak nicely, don't be so vulgar.

What a little girl, what does she look like?"

After saying that, he sat down on the small bench between the two of them.

He said to Xiao's mother with a natural look: "Mom, I also brought back some braised pork. You can prepare it later and we can have a good meal at noon."

"Row!"

Xiao Chenye often brought back some rice, flour, grain, oil, and meat. After a long time, Xiao's mother got used to it. She didn't ask where he got it from, but just warned her son to be careful.

Xiao Chenxing puffed his cheeks and said, "Brother, you're squeezing me to death."

"If you think I'm crowding you, then move aside," Xiao Chenye rolled his eyes. "You have no sense at all."

Xiao Chenxing was unconvinced. "We were sitting here peacefully, talking. Who allowed you to butt in? Even if I'm being tactless, it's you who's not!"

Wen Ran watched the brother and sister bickering, a bright smile on his lips.

It rained all day long.

They had a sumptuous meal at noon, including stewed clay pot chicken. Xiao's mother took the braised pork and put it back into the pot, adding a lot of soft and tasty potato cubes. It tasted quite delicious.

What made Wen Ran most satisfied was the braised eggplant. It went really well with the white rice, and she even ate half a bowl more.

Then I drank half a bowl of vegetable and egg soup.

Wen Ran was so useless that he ate too much.

Woo woo woo, it smells so good.

Xiao Chenye glanced at Wen Ran's favorite mouth, silently memorized it in his mind, and planned to find a way to get some oil back.

Except for the winter, there is no obvious distinction between busy and idle times for farmers. They rest in the morning and start looking for some odd jobs to do in the afternoon.

Xiao Chenxing was busy cleaning, his mother took Wen Ran to pick edamame, and on the other side was Xiao Chenye who was being ordered around.

He is just a brick, and he can be moved wherever he is needed.

"Xiao Wen," Xiao's mother pondered and said, "Aren't you looking to rent a house? I've looked around these past few days, but none of them seem suitable."

"what?"

"Is such that……"

Although the Silly Roe Brigade is generally wealthier than other brigades, it is not to the point where they have houses but don't live in them and just use them for fun.

All empty houses basically have problems, such as half of them collapsed or half of the wall missing. If you rent such a house, you will have to spend money to renovate it.

If they don’t rent it to you next year, it will be a waste of time.

Secondly, if the house is nice but the owner is difficult to communicate with, getting involved with such a person will only cause endless troubles.

After hearing the whole story, Wen Ran was dumbfounded.

Now there are only two choices before her: either continue to live in the Xiao family, or go out and start a new life.

Of course, there is also a more disgusting one. After the educated youth site was renovated, she moved back and started to argue with that group of people whose brains were soaked in water.

Just thinking about it, Wen Ran felt like he couldn't breathe.

Mother Xiao glanced at Wen Ran's expression, pondering her words, "Little Wen, educated youth, you are welcome to live in my home.

Of course, if you go out to build a house, we can also help contact people. However, the autumn harvest is coming soon, so you have to build the house as soon as possible, otherwise you will be busy harvesting the crops later."

indeed.

Xiao Chenye had been listening attentively since early morning, and when Wen Ran made his decision, his heart was lifted.

Wen Ran pondered for a moment. She was not short of money. Building a house could be considered as spending money to buy freedom.

The Xiao family is a good family, but friction is inevitable after living together for a long time.

Distance creates beauty.

She made the decision, "I'll build a house."

to go?

Xiao Chenye wilted.

"It's nice to live here," he couldn't help but add, "It's not safe for you to live alone, and..."

Xiao's mother took off her shoes without saying a word and started to rub the soles.

"Snapped!"

After beating him, he put on his shoes again and said, "Go away, what's your business? Can't the educated youth Xiao Wen make his own decisions?"

After driving Xiao Chenye away, Xiao's mother smiled and said, "You've made up your mind. We need to talk to the team leader first, choose a place, find people, and then prepare the furniture and other things in advance."

"Yeah! I've thought about it," Wen Ran smiled, "I still have some money. If I don't spend too much, building a house shouldn't be a problem."

"to make!"

Xiao's mother was also a person of action. She washed her hands and went straight to the captain's house with Wen Ran in the rain.

Behind him, Xiao Chenye looked a little dazed.

As someone who had experienced this, Xiao Chenyue held the child and said quietly, "Don't look at it. It's best for Xiao Wenzhiqing to live outside."

As a woman, Xiao Chenyue can better understand and empathize with Wen Ran.

"Sister..." Xiao Chenye turned around in embarrassment, "I didn't mean anything else."

"Well, I know you don't have any. You have nothing to do, so hold the baby for me while I rest for a while."

Xiao Chenye carefully took his niece in his arms and lowered his voice, "Sister, it's been so long, and you still haven't decided on a name for the child?

You don't feel awkward calling your child all day long."

Xiao Chenyue laughed angrily, "Do you think naming is so easy?"

Xiao Chenye curled his lips indifferently, "Why is it difficult to choose a name? We are surnamed Xiao, so any name will sound good."

Seeing Xiao Chenyue didn't react, he didn't think much about it and teased his niece, "Hey~ What's your name? Call me Xiao Baobao, okay?"

"Get lost, Xiao Chenye, you're really getting more and more out of touch. How can you name a child Baobao? A nickname is more appropriate."

"So what? Our Xiao family's treasure."

……

Xiao's mother brought Wen Ran to the captain's house and heard a noise coming from inside from a distance.

The two looked at each other and slammed on the brakes.

"No," Xiao's mother pricked up her ears and listened carefully, "Is there a quarrel?"

Wen Ran said confidently, "Yeah, they started arguing."

She hesitated, "Should we still go in?"

She wanted to eat melons, but she was afraid that the fire in the city gate would affect the innocent people.

"How about we take a look at the door?"

Wen Ran agreed instantly, "I think it's okay."

The two of them tiptoed to the door and heard what was said inside. Wen Ran's face changed instantly.
