“Alright,” he said. Xue Yan smiled and rubbed his head. He was obviously two years older than Jiang Yue, but his words were a little unclear and his voice sounded a little childish.
However, Wufu was really like a monkey, running here and there. He even ran to the river behind his uncle’s house to dig for raspberries, as if he had an endless amount of energy.
When Xue Gouzi came over, Xue Yan called out, “Hello.”
Jiang Yue also greeted him politely.
Xue Gouzi was a timid person, so his voice was not loud. He even sounded a little nervous, “How… How do we dig this?”
“Just dig up the roots,” Jiang Yue said.
“Okay.” He nodded, then they went to find a bunch of raspberries to dig. He didn’t say much. His head was always lowered as if he couldn’t even lift it up.
“I’ll dig too! I’ll dig everything!” Xue Dabao and Xue Xiaobao shouted excitedly and also started digging.
“Stay away from the river and don’t fall in, understand?” Xue Yan said.
“I know, I won’t!” Xue Dabao had run far away.
Xue Xiaobao was not in a hurry to run away. Instead, he looked at Jiang Yue with his pure eyes and said, “Jiang Yue, you’re so small. Do you want to dig together?”
“Yes.” Jiang Yue was not good at dealing with children.
“Jiang Yue, I have a little straw hat here, you can wear it.” Xue Xiaobao’s little arms were trying hard to take out his little straw hat from the basket on his back.
His grandfather had made this up for him, and he loved it.
The small basket on his back was also woven by his grandfather, and he liked it very much.
“No thank you,” Jiang Yue replied. The sun wasn’t that bright today.
“No need? Alright then.” The silly Xue Xiaobao did not force her, nor did he know why she didn’t need it. He just immediately took his hand out of the basket on his back.
Not only was he cowardly, but he was also very innocent.
“I’m going to Dabao’s place.” Xue Xiaobao said. “My mother wants me to follow my brother closely.”
“Okay.” Xue Yan nodded with a smile.
Xue Xiaobao immediately left.
Xue Yan and Jiang Yue squatted down again and continued to dig the raspberries by their feet.
As they dug, Xue Yan noticed from the corner of his eyes that Xue Gouzi was alone, and not speaking. He was only digging at the plants, and his back was as lonely as could be.
After digging up all the raspberries, Xue Yan thought for a while and went to carry the basket with the small shovel while holding Jiang Yue’s hand with the other. He brought Jiang Yue to Xue Gouzi’s side and squatted down.
When he squatted down with Jiang Yue, Xue Yan finally realized why he had brought Jiang Yue here.
It was probably because he always had to hold Jiang Yue’s hand when he went out so that the family would feel at ease. Therefore, he was already used to it by now. He subconsciously held Jiang Yue’s hand and left with her.
Jiang Yue was probably used to it, so she didn’t say anything.
Even though he had squatted down, Jiang Yue only looked at him. It was obvious that she wanted to know what he was up to by coming to Xue Gouzi’s side.
In fact, it was not a secret and there was no need to hide it from Jiang Yue. Xue Yan asked Xue Gouzi, “Why were you at Grandpa’s place so early today?”
Gouzi stopped digging and lowered his head. After a while, he said awkwardly, “Uncle heard that my brother was beaten half to death, so he came to see my brother. He doesn’t like me, so I came out…”
Jiang Yue felt that Xue Gouzi was really not favored at home. Even his mother’s relatives did not like him. That was why he said yes to figging seeds.
As for this uncle, he should be Zhang Meili’s brother-in-law.
