Yun Xiaoxiao became interested in the pancakes, "Is this scallion pancakes or pickled vegetable pancakes?"
"Wait a second." Zhao Tianlei squeezed through the crowd and bought a few to bring back.
This behavior made Second Brother Yun pause in surprise.
But what followed rendered Second Brother Yun absolutely dumbfounded.
Throughout the journey, as long as little sister lingered a bit longer on any food, he would buy it for her, and if little sister couldn’t finish it, she would see her brother-in-law take it and eat it without any signs of disgust.
It seemed that the brother-in-law was truly good to little sister.
And he took very good care of the two kids as well.
Even he wasn’t that attentive.
"Little sister, brother-in-law, it’s getting late, we should head over now, otherwise we’re going to have to listen to a lot of gossip later."
Second Brother Yun really didn’t want to mention Eldest Uncle Yun’s wife and their side of the family.
"This time over, I’m afraid they’ll see you and start mocking you again, but little sister, you don’t have to be scared, just speak up."
Second Sister-in-law Yun wasn’t as blunt as Second Brother Yun, "There’s no need to feel aggrieved. Now that we have Grandma Yun, a senior member of the family, things will still be lively."
She didn’t say the latter half: If the old person is gone, then whether we keep in touch or not would be hard to say.
Yun Xiaoxiao also knew this.
She was even less afraid.
She couldn’t even remember what they looked like, let them talk.
"Little aunt, I’m here for you," Qingqing, the little girl, knew they were heading to Great Grandpa’s house soon, and she didn’t like going there.
"Good, I have you all here."
Zhao Tianlei gently squeezed Yun Xiaoxiao’s hand, knowing she was nervous.
He could tell that the relationship with Eldest Uncle Yun’s family wasn’t very good.
Yun Xiaoxiao and her brother, in a superficial display, bought a bunch of bananas and some apples, respectively, and then they took the bus to Eldest Uncle Yun’s house.
"Little sister, if they talk about borrowing money, just say you don’t have any. If they say they want to visit you, tell them you’re not free, or that your house is too small and can’t accommodate them. In any case, just don’t agree," Second Brother Yun rambled on the moment they got off the bus.
Second Sister-in-law Yun’s lips twitched a few times, almost wanting to say, little sister-in-law is much smarter than you.
If it wasn’t for running into her, who knows what kind of woman might have deceived him.
Her own man was hardworking but a bit too straightforward and lacked any major faults.
"Second brother, don’t worry, after so many years, I’ve forgotten what they look like; they’re just strangers to me. How could I lend money to a stranger?"
Second Brother Yun gave Yun Xiaoxiao a thumbs up.
Little sister was really incredible.
Indeed, after so many years and not seeing them, they truly became strangers to her.
Let those people try to show off. We’ll just watch from the side, coldly. It’s none of our business.
"Right, just like that."
Second Brother Yun was satisfied.
Four adults with five children finally arrived at the steel plant’s family quarters.
Yes, Eldest Uncle Yun worked in the steel plant, so naturally, his family also lived in the plant’s family buildings, within the family quarters.
Today, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the steel plant was closed for one day, and now people are heading out to have fun.
Seeing Yun Xiaoxiao and the other young people with children, many were puzzled.
Some felt that Second Brother Yun looked familiar and vaguely recognized him.
But they did not recognize Yun Xiaoxiao and the others.
"Relatives from the Yun family, that short guy, seems to work at the state-owned restaurant; I saw him when my son-in-law treated us to a meal there."
"How about the others?"
At Eldest Uncle Yun’s house.
Grandma Yun looked at her youngest son and his wife, "Isn’t Xiaoxiao back? Why hasn’t she come to see me, her grandma? Last time she was back, I didn’t even know she dropped by to see me, her grandma, for a bit."
