80 Rich Peppers

Xu Ran was distracted for a while, and finally no one bothered her, and when she was thinking about it and didn't know what to do next, the door was pushed open again with a "squeak".

Xu Ran thought that it was Zhou Jinhua who came to find fault again, and was about to make a fuss, but it turned out that two children came in, and she couldn't swear.

The girls looked eleven or twelve years old, and the boys were only four or five years old. They were all so thin that their eyes were big, and they looked like bean sprouts, and they looked out of harmony.

"Sister-in-law..." The girl's tone was soft, and there was still expectation for Xu Ran in her eyes.The little boy grabbed the corner of Xu Ran's clothes, leaving a few black marks, and the girl hurriedly pulled him to the back, looking at Xu Ran carefully, for fear that Xu Ran would get angry.

Xu Ran looked at the two children, and then his eyes fell on the hands of the two of them. The cuts were also muddy, and it hurt to look at them.

"Who are you two?" Xu Ran's tone softened a little.

"Yan Hao is my brother, my name is Yan Yue, and my younger brother is Yan Qiu." Yan Yue said softly, she felt that her sister-in-law looked like a fairy girl!
"What happened to your hands?" Xu Ran picked up Yan Yue's hands to have a look. It was a cold day, and her hands were bruised and purple from the cold.

Yan Yue hurriedly put her hands behind her back and said, "Auntie told us to rub potatoes, or we won't eat..." After finishing speaking, she took out half a not-so-hot roasted sweet potato from her skirt, and said, "Sister-in-law, Eat, I didn't see my sister-in-law eating a bite of rice this morning, I secretly left it for my sister-in-law!"

Seeing that the two children were so pitiful, Xu Ran still wanted to leave her something to eat, so her heart ached, and she said, "I'm not hungry, you two eat." She didn't want to take care of the family's affairs, but she couldn't bear to watch the two children eat. The child's hands were so sore, and finally went to the stove to bring hot water for the two children to soak their hands first.

The siblings not only had chapped hands, but also had chilblains on their feet. Yan Yue’s handmade felt-soled shoes were quite small, and the uppers were so crowded that the uppers were unraveled. , but even so, the siblings still deal with dressing.

Xu Ran asked, "Why don't you change into suitable cotton shoes?"

"My aunt said that the family is poor and can't afford it..." Yan Yue's voice became smaller and smaller, because she was always dressed in rags and was always laughed at at school.

Although Yan Qiu is small, she is cute, and said naively: "Auntie is rich, but she has a lot of money!"

Yan Yue bowed her head and remained silent. My aunt always replaced her own children with new ones, and they just picked up the leftovers. It wasn't that the family didn't have money, but my aunt didn't want to spend money on them.

After Xu Ran washed the child's hands and feet, he asked, "Then Yan Hao is your brother, so he doesn't care?" Just watching his younger siblings suffer like this?

Yan Yue shook her head: "It's not that I don't care, it's that we dare not tell my brother. If I know, I will definitely go back and tell my aunt, and my aunt will even scold me."

Xu Ran sighed, the two children were sensible children, but Zhou Jinhua didn't know anything about personnel!

"Come up and cover for a while." Xu Ran asked the two children to go up to the kang to warm up, but the two children did not go up.

Yan Yue hesitated: "Sister-in-law's quilt is clean..."

Xu Ran looked back and found that the quilt was indeed clean, presumably it was specially prepared for the wedding, but it didn't matter if it was new or not, so he said, "It's fine." After speaking, she carried Yan Qiu onto the kang, and she picked up a piece Firewood was stuffed into the kang hole, and she was choked by the smoke so that she coughed.

Where did Xu Ran do this job?I have no experience of rural life since I was a child, and I don’t know how to do many things. Originally, I came back from abroad this time to work in a research institute. Who would have thought that such a day would come?
