Chapter 491: My adopted sister returned to her hometown to farm (6)
Xu Lian stood quietly in the ward, her eyes fixed on her usually undisciplined "troublemaker" son.
I saw him speaking softly, wanting to take the little girl next to him to the nurse's station.
However, at this moment, she suddenly heard the little girl's clear voice: "No need, Brother Xiao, I just have a sore nose, it's really nothing serious."
The person who spoke was Yao Sisi. She felt it was too embarrassing to run to the nurse's station just because of such a minor injury.
Xiao Lang stared at Yao Sisi and noticed that her small nose was slightly red, and he couldn't help feeling a little pity in his heart.
So, he smiled and said, "Then from now on, when we walk, you should either walk in front of me or beside me. If you feel that you can't keep up with my pace, you must tell me, and I will slow down and wait for you."
Although she was somewhat puzzled by Xiao Lang's words, Yao Sisi could sense the kindness in his words and readily responded, "Okay, Brother Xiao!"
The two consecutive calls of "Brother Xiao" made Xiao Lang's mother Xu Lian laugh.
She joked with a smile on her face: "Oh my, I never thought that my boy would be called 'Brother Xiao' one day!"
Only then did Yao Sisi realize that, in addition to the two of them and Aunt Chun, there were actually other people in the ward.
This is a single room. In addition, Xiao Lang did not introduce his mother just now, and Yao Sisi happened to be standing at the door of the ward, so she did not notice that there were other people here for a moment.
Yao Sisi's face suddenly turned red. She looked at Xu Lian a little embarrassedly and said softly, "Hello, Auntie."
Xu Lian responded with a smile, her eyes fell on Yao Sisi, the more she looked at her, the more she liked her.
"Ahem!" Xiao Lang cleared his throat, reminding his mother to be more restrained, and then he began to introduce her, "Her name is Yao Sisi, she is from the Yao family in the village, and she should be back this time to sign the contract to repair the house."
Aunt Chun leaned over to take a look, and when she found out it was really Yao Sisi, she smiled and said, "Sisi! The village has changed a lot now, so stay a few more days now that you're here."
Just after saying this, Xu Chun remembered: "Oh! You still have to go to college, you should find time to come back this time."
When Xu Lian heard this, she became even more satisfied with Yao Sisi. Not bad, not bad, she is a college student just like her son.
"Auntie Chun, I'm not leaving!" Yao Sisi felt that Auntie Chun cared about her so much that she shouldn't hide it, so she explained, "I just graduated from college a few months ago, but the pace of life in the city is too fast, and I can't adapt to it, so I want to come back and live here."
Yao Sisi felt that she was probably not an outstanding person. She had adapted to life for so many years and grew up in the city, but she still seemed unable to understand the rules.
"It's good to come back!" Xu Lian was even happier after hearing this. "Our place will also develop very well in the future. Big cities are probably prosperous, but they are too tiring. In recent years, many people who left have returned."
"Mom! Let me pour you a glass of water!" Xiao Lang picked up the disposable cup beside the bed, poured a glass of water and handed it to her, "Come, drink some, you are thirsty!"
Xu Lian knew her son's thoughts very well, she was just afraid that if she said too much, she would expose his past.
Although she felt that her son was being a little nagging, as an elder who couldn't hold others back, she didn't say anything further.
Aunt Chun, on the other hand, began to help: "Sisi! Your grandma's house hasn't been repaired yet. It's almost winter, so it can't be lived in!"
When winter comes here, the weather is very cold. Without heating equipment such as earthen beds or heaters, people will freeze to death.
And
"Yes! The Yao family's house has been uninhabited for many years and has fallen into disrepair. Not to mention the leaks on the roof, the walls are leaking." Xiao Lang frowned and said, "Although you can start repairing the house after you sign the contract in the next few days.
But it will probably take several months to repair, and this does not include the internal renovations, if you don’t mind…”
"Yes, yes, stay at my house first." Xu Lian almost immediately took over the conversation, "My house is very close to your village, and I'm the only one at home, so you can just keep me company."
"Aunt, what about Brother Xiao?" Yao Sisi frowned slightly, "You can't leave him with no place to live because of me!"
"Xiao Lang lives in this town. My family bought him a house here." Xu Lian was quite proud. "His father works in another place and has not retired yet. He usually manages several villages and travels back and forth. It is more convenient for him to live in the town, so I am the only one in the family."
Xiao Lang felt so aggrieved!
His original idea was to let Yao Sisi live in the building in the town and move back to the village himself.
And you can check in from time to time to see if the other person needs any help.
Now that's great, his mother has snatched it away.
"Repairing a house is a big deal. It's only right for a girl like you to ask for help." Aunt Chun put forward her own opinion at this time, "My sister used to work in a brick factory. She is familiar with this aspect."
