Crossing the Book of Eighty Years: The Sweet Daughter-in-law of a Mountain Man

Chapter 12 Just call me brother

Xia Ning said: "Sister, I will cook sweet potato soup for you."

Xia Xue looked nervous: "Sister, can we eat here?"

Xia Ning: "Okay, if the old lady doesn't give you food from now on, you can come to my sister's place."

Maybe Xia Ning had never mentioned Mrs. Xia before, so she was a little confused and couldn't sit down. Xia Xue and Xia Kai were slightly in a daze.

Xia Ning then explained: "It's grandma."

The two little carrot heads nodded.

Xia Ning picked a sweet potato that was slightly visible and cut it into small pieces. When the water in the pot boiled, she put the sweet potato in and added sugar.

While cooking, I was thinking about what I should do.

As soon as Zhou Junmin opened his eyes, a sweet smell came from his nose.

It feels good.

His body felt much more relaxed. He looked out the window and found two little carrot heads sitting on the stone, each holding a bowl and sucking hard.

Xia Xue thinks this sweet sugar water is so delicious, especially since it is almost summer. Drinking a bowl of sweet potato soup will cool down and quench her thirst.

After Xia Kai finished eating, he licked the inside of the bowl with his tongue.

Zhou Junmin walked out of the house.

Xia Xue was so frightened that she slipped off the stone and stood up straight.

This is a conditioned reflex. Since they lost their father, once they eat delicious food, they will be disliked, scolded, and looked down upon.

So when I saw Zhou Junmin coming out, I was immediately frightened.

Xia Ning looked back at Zhou Junmin and explained, "They gave me sweet potatoes. I cooked a pot of sweet potato soup. Would you like some?"

He just smelled the sweet smell, which seemed good. Zhou Junmin nodded.

Xia Xue glanced at Xia Kai, hesitated for a moment, and then shouted softly: "Brother-in-law."

Grandma said that her sister was married, so the man in front of her was naturally her brother-in-law.

Xia Kai opened his mouth and was about to call someone along with Xia Xue.Xia Ning and Zhou Junmin both paused.

Xia Ning quickly said: "Just call him brother."

Zhou Junmin paused and nodded: "Your sister is still young, please call me Junmin brother for now."

Xia Xue and Xia Kai were extremely well-behaved. After nodding, they shouted honestly: "Brother Junmin."

The two little carrot heads are as skinny and short as their elder sisters!

Zhou Junmin couldn't help but look at Xia Ning. His younger brother and sister were little carrot heads, but this sister could only be regarded as a big sprout!

Xia Ning had already walked into the kitchen and brought out half a bowl of sweet potato soup: "You can't eat more. You can eat whatever you want when you feel better."

Zhou Junmin also had no objection.

I took a sip of the soup first. It was sweet and delicious.

A small half bowl of soup plus a few square sweet potato cubes left me feeling a bit unsatisfied after eating it.

But it was time for him to read.

Xia Ning took the bowl and washed it.

Xia Xue turned to look at Xia Kai and asked, "Why do we call him brother? Other people's brothers-in-law are called brother-in-law."

Xia Kai scratched his head with his little hands: "I don't know either. Look, Sister Jiaojiao came back after she got married, but our eldest sister didn't."

Speaking of this, Xia Xue felt very sad.

"That's because we have no parents. When my eldest sister goes back, there is no one to accompany her."

Speaking of this, she felt that the eldest sister was so pitiful, and her eyes were full of tears like black grapes.

Xia Kai: "Don't cry, don't cry. Let's be more sensible in the future and treat my eldest sister better."

Xia Xue's little head kept nodding: "Yes, yes, yes, we need to be the support of the eldest sister."

Xia Kai: "What do you rely on?"
