Chapter 1 A Flower for Twelve Brothers
In the hottest days of summer and june, even in the northernmost mountain pass, it was still extremely hot. God was still like a child's face, changing at any time.
It was still sunny in the morning and cloudy in the afternoon. It was obvious that the heavy rain was coming.
In the lin family village, all the wives saw that the weather was not good and threw away their kitchen knives or broomsticks.
The naughty boys probably knew this as well, so they pretended not to hear the old lady's shout and surrounded the village. They wished they could come down to the heavy rain and take a shower in the rain to be happy.
There was a large courtyard in the west of the lin family village and a large family lived there. Old master lin was the backbone of the family.
Now he was clutching the brass pot in his hand and occasionally squinting his eyes at his grandson, who was reading under the eaves, with a smile that made his beard curl up.
"The world is dark and yellow, the universe is barren ..."
The six and a half year old boys were all seven or eight years old. They were dressed in gray and were now following the little girl under the eaves. They were shaking their heads with their little hands and shaking their heads. They were very cute.
The little girl was a little younger, and she looked just over four years old. Her peach-colored clothes and ivory skirt were tied up with two small buds on her head. She had two thin braids on her ear. She took advantage of the fact that her little face was getting whiter and rounder, and her eyes were delicate, especially her big eyes, which seemed to be able to talk. It was extremely bright. Perhaps it was the heat of the day, so she secretly rolled up her sleeves and revealed a small arm. It was as if the lotus root had just come out of the water. It was so tender that one could not wait to bite it.
"Brother gui, did you not endorse the letter today? If I follow my brothers to make up the numbers, I will beat you! "
The little girl noticed that a certain boy was lazy and pointed out without any politeness. Unfortunately, her tone of voice was not threatening at all. Instead, she was exceptionally cute.
The boys were all referring to the lazy brothers, gloating over the misfortune and laughing, causing the lazy boy scratched the back of his head and explained," no, I just forgot the last sentence." "
Elder lin's heart ached for his granddaughter the most. Your sister only followed fourth uncle for a year and became your young master. Don' t you feel ashamed? If you don' t study hard, you won' t be allowed to eat. "
The boys all shrank their heads, opened their mouths again to read, and roared louder.
The old man pulled his granddaughter into his arms and helped her tidy up her messy pigtails. He complimented her," my Jiao Jiao is so obedient. He's much smarter than your brothers. "
"Grandpa, my brothers are very clever. They let me go. In the future, my brothers will study for the top spot, and also buy me some snacks. "
Jiao Jiao turned around and smiled brightly at her grandfather. Her palm-sized face was pale and her words were protective of her shortcomings, which made the old man laugh even harder.
"Well, well, your brothers can all be in the top spot. "
Feng shi and liu shi, the two busy daughters-in-law in the corner of the courtyard, occasionally turned their heads to see them and couldn' t help but laugh.
The feng family was boss lin's wife and Jiao Jiao's mother. Perhaps she didn' t want her brother and daughter-in-law to blame her father for favoring her daughter, so she said," Jiao Jiao, this child, can' t do anything else. Coaxing people is the most important thing. Other people don' t say that our father has such a hard temper that she can coax them around. "
The liu family was the second wife of the lin family, and she loved Jiao Jiao so much. She quickly waved her hand and said," sister-in-law, you can' t say that about Jiao Jiao. If you dislike her, send her to me as your daughter. I' m glad that she has such a soft and soft baby called me' mother' all day long. "
Feng shi also smiled." Even if she's not your biological daughter, she's always calling you' auntie'. "
The lin family's old lady, dong shi, came back from the outside.when she met her neighbor's third aunt at the door, she couldn' t help but gossip.
The third aunt looked at the lin family's courtyard with her legs crossed. She couldn' t help but feel so envious that her eyes turned red.
"Tell me, old sister-in-law, your family is too annoying. Every family in the village is looking forward to a grandson who has to worship god all day long. It's good for your family. Not only did you have four sons, but all of them were able to have children after you married a wife. This grandson was like a grape, carrying a bunch of grapes. What a ... Sigh! But that was enough. In the end, there was also a Jiao Jiao. He was as smart as a demon, and he looked like the young miss of that wealthy family in the city. It was so painful that no one knew what to say. "
The dong family was around fifty years old. Although their family was not very wealthy, their children and grandchildren were filial. They felt comfortable and had fewer wrinkles on their faces.
Her heart was filled with joy as well, but she complained," you only saw how lively the children were. You didn' t see my rice bowl, and you wished that you could empty it once in a few days. The child was just fate, so there was no need to worry. Our ancestral home in the lin family village had a good reputation in ten miles and eight townships from the very beginning.we did a lot of good deeds, so we can rest assured that no one in the family would be short of boys. It was just that the boys from the family arrived late. Didn' t we have so much left in our house? If there was anything, we could call out. We' re all family, so who else could watch the show? "
Third aunt lin was cheered up by her words. After chatting for a while, she turned around and carried her granddaughter, hong ying, who was like a monkey, into her own courtyard.
Although compared to Jiao Jiao, her granddaughter was like a piece of dirt, no matter how bad her child was, she was still her biological son.
When dong shi entered the door, Jiao Jiao ran over and hugged her thigh." Grandma, grandma, why did you come back so late? I missed you so much. "
"Oh, my dear, my dear girl. I' ve only been out for less than an hour and I' ve already thought about it. I just know how to coax people with my sweet mouth." Mrs. Dong picked up her granddaughter, touched her back, and kissed her on the forehead.
Lin Jiao Jiao smiled and narrowed his little crescent-like eyes. He kissed her back and made the old lady smile happily.
She picked up her granddaughter and sat next to her old friend, talking about the village gossip.
The naughty boys had no one to supervise them, and while they were memorizing the book, they made a strange appearance while winking at each other. However, when their sister saw them, she immediately returned to her original state.
Jiao Jiao lay in her grandmother's arms and stared at her naughty brothers. She had no idea where she had gone.
Speaking of which, she had been in the lin family for almost five years.
In her previous life, she was considered to be a strong woman like jin gang. Since she was a child, her parents had always valued boys over girls, so she worked to earn money and studied on her own. After graduation, she worked hard for the golden collar class and had a small savings. Unfortunately, she had never experienced love in her thirties. She was also tired from her work and had no good health, so she decided to give up everything and went home to take over the second floor where her parents and sister-in-law lived, plus five acres of paddy fields and a small orchard and a mountain area.
Her parents and sister-in-law took half of her savings and went to the city. Instead, she took root in the countryside and opened a grocery store on the first floor. The second floor was filled with warmth and comfort, preparing to live in seclusion for the rest of her life.
Unfortunately, her plan was pretty good, but one day, she felt like she was being pulled by something in her sleep. No matter how hard she tried, it was useless. When she woke up, she became the only child in the third generation of the lin family.
She had the same name as her previous life, lin Jiao Jiao, and had grown up to this day.
Old Mr. Lin had been on the battlefield when he was young and had beaten a barbarian. He had injured a leg and was slightly lame when he walked. However, because he had saved the life of the general, he had received a generous thank you gift when he came back from the battlefield, so he built a large courtyard in the lin family village and bought ten acres of land. He married his wife, the dong family, and gave birth to four sons.
Jiao Jiao's father was lin dahai, the boss of the lin family. He was honest and hardworking, and his mother was rough and fierce, but kind and filial. Second uncle lin dajiang was a famous carpenter from all over the country. Second aunt was gentle and didn' t talk much. Three uncle lin dahe and four uncle lin dashan are twin sons, three uncle in the city cloth zhuang do shopkeeper, married is the only daughter of the owner. Fourth uncle lin dashan has talent to study, is now a scholar, in the city to do western seats, married is the daughter of an old county magistrate.
From the looks of it, the lin family was also an ordinary family, but they had to find something unusual. In that case, their descendants were too prosperous.
The four sons of the lin family had three sons in each family, and because of the inheritance of twins, the three and four children also had twins, plus one was twelve grandchildren. This was enough to make those families who didn' t have a rich heiress feel extremely jealous, but perhaps because things were rare and valuable, the lin family loved to pamper Jiao Jiao, the only little girl.
Naturally, Jiao Jiao's parents did not need to talk about it. Her three uncles and aunts treated her as their own daughter. The twelve brothers let her do whatever she wanted and protected her, not to mention her grandfather and grandmother.
Logically speaking, Jiao Jiao should be satisfied. After all, she had never experienced the pain and pampering in her previous life. In this world, the heavens were so much more compensating to her, so she could no longer be greedy.
It's just ...
