At the beginning of the famine, I became famous all over the world with my useless system

But today, before Auntie Lin adopted her, she treated her to a bowl of steaming hot noodles with an egg, a bowl that was unique to her.

Before getting on the bus, she ate a sweet and sour candy snowball that Gu Sihe handed her, something she had never tasted before;

Now there's this exquisite wooden hairpin that Gu Ermiao gave me...

What's more, this hairpin was originally intended to be given to Aunt Lin, but he was willing to give it to himself...

Her nose was sour and her eyes were red, and she was about to cry when she suddenly heard the conversation between the two brothers. She almost couldn't help laughing out loud and coughed twice because of the choking.

Gu Sihe finally understood when he heard her voice.

"Oh! Second brother, you lied to me again!"

Lin Yuanxin looked at the two brothers playing and fighting. This scene, which she had never seen at home, slowly moistened a long-dry part of her heart.

Even the dark future that she had never thought about before seemed to clear up and gradually become clear, making her start to look forward to it.

The car was shaking so much that she almost fell apart, but she had a deep feeling that the days ahead would be smooth.

Lin Qing, who had temporarily relieved herself from her sadness, teased the three children and did not forget to buy some useful items for Lin Yuanxin in the mall. Before she knew it, she had arrived at Songsi Village.

Seeing that it was getting dark and their mother and two brothers had not returned yet, Gu Damao and Gu Sanmu waited anxiously in front of the dilapidated temple early in the morning.

It was not until the sky turned indigo that I saw the car coming from afar and heard the laughter of my mother and brother that the stone in my heart fell to the ground and I hurried forward to meet it.

Seeing that my mother and brother were holding a bunch of things in their hands, I knew that this trip was quite fruitful. I felt both excited and a little worried.

It seems that mom’s business is doing well today.

But if I were seen by the villagers on the way back, I don’t know what kind of rumors would arise.

The carriage creaked to a stop in front of them, raising a cloud of dust. Gu Damao and Gu Sanmu coughed as they stepped forward to take the things and helped their mother get off the carriage.

After seeing Ermiao and Sihe get off the bus, he turned around and helped a short, thin and pretty girl get off together, and they looked at each other in confusion.

Who is this?

Sihe is fine, but Ermiao is rarely so close to others. Could it be that he is a relative whom he met by chance in town today?

When Gu Sihe jumped excitedly and told them that he had a sister, Gu Damao and Gu Sanmu were even more confused.

Gu Ermiao winked at the two of them and explained simply, "This is my mother's distant niece, Lin Yuanxin."

Oh, as expected.

But why haven’t I heard that my mother has a niece before?

Since she is my niece, why doesn't she go to her uncle but come to her mother instead?

Although they were a little skeptical, they still greeted her obediently.

Lin Yuanxin hurriedly returned the greeting and quietly observed that the two children also looked as friendly as Aunt Lin, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But he was still a little nervous about being in a new environment, and unconsciously wanted to stay with Lin Qing, the person he trusted the most.

Lin Qing held a piece of cloth and briefly introduced the children to each other.

"Da Mao, go get Chang Qing to come over to our house and tell him I have something to ask him. San Mu, go clean up the guest room for Yuan Xin to stay in. We can get to know each other better over dinner tonight, how about that?"

After saying that, she winked cunningly and said in a low voice:

"Let's eat meat tonight!"

When they heard that they could eat meat, the children's eyes instantly lit up, much brighter than the stars in the sky, and their steps unconsciously became lighter.

The few of them were walking and chatting, but Lin Yuanxin, who was following Lin Qing, was a little dazed.

What did Aunt Lin just say? Is she going to have her own room?

When she was at home, she had always huddled in the kitchen with her sister, holding her until she was little. She didn't know what would happen to her if she left...

Forget it, don’t think about it for now.

On the bright side, even if she died, the betrothal gifts would still be sent home, so Dad would get a lot of money, and life would definitely get better and better.

After she left, her sister's sleeping space became bigger, and she no longer had to worry about turning over and falling into the stove, and getting her hair burned by the unextinguished firewood.

But Aunt Lin just said she wanted to eat meat. Could it be that she regarded me as a VIP and made it specially for her?

I wanted to persuade Aunt Lin that there was no need to be so grand, but I was afraid that I might have misunderstood her.

What if Aunt Lin's family usually eats like this? Saying this would not only spoil the fun, but also make me look timid...

Lin Yuanxin was walking and thinking about random things. When she came to her senses, she suddenly realized that she had followed him into the courtyard.

It was already dark, but the lights in the main room were surprisingly bright, illuminating the entire yard.

The spacious yard was more than a circle larger than his own house, and had three more rooms, all kept neat and tidy. Next to the west wall of the yard was a harrowed field, the ground was moist, and I wondered what was planted there.

Lin Yuanxin couldn't help but take a deep breath, and the smell lingering in his nose seemed to be the smell of freedom and rebirth.

Gu Sanmu was cleaning the guest room at that time. After hearing the noise, he leaned half of his body out of the window and waved to everyone.

He remembered his mother had just said that Yuanxin was a year younger than him, so he called out, "Sister Yuanxin, come and see the room I cleaned for you, but..."

Gu Sanmu scratched his head shyly and said, "I didn't know what to put in a girl's room, so I just packed it according to my mother's instructions. See if there's anything missing."

Lin Yuanxin thought to himself, isn't he moving too fast?

However, I got home a little earlier than them and had already cleaned up the room.

Lin Qing gave Gu Sanmu a thumbs-up and praised him, "Sanmu is such a thoughtful and good kid! Well done!"

Seeing Lin Yuanxin still standing there in a daze, he couldn't help but pat her on the back and encouraged her, "Come on, let's go take a look together. By the way, except for the basket, you can put everything you bought today in my room. I'll clean it up later."

Lin Yuanxin tried hard to hold back his tears and nodded. Lin Qing put his arm around his shoulders and walked into the room as if he was walking on cotton.

Lifting the blue-grey door curtain, one sees a medium-sized eight-person table with two stools placed under it. Brother Sanmu had polished the table and chairs spotlessly clean, leaving them sparkling clean.

There was a washbasin stand on the left side of the door. The wooden basin on the stand was very clean. Sanmu said that the bucket was behind the door. If there was no water, she could go to the jar in the kitchen to scoop it. If she couldn't carry it, she could just call him.

There is a large wardrobe against the east wall. Brother Sanmu said that it contains pillows, mattresses, quilts and other daily necessities.

To the north is a brick-built earthen kang (kang bed), covered with a soft mattress. When you press it, the buckwheat husks inside make a crackling sound...

Lin Yuanxin listened, looked, and nodded woodenly. Although she could see through the hut at a glance, it was something she could not even dream of.

Bed, table, stool, soft quilt that smells like sunshine...

Is such a bright, clean and warm room really going to belong to you?
