Chapter 38: Chapter 038 Xu Nianji’s Biological Sister

"Sure."

Xu Nian’an replied without thinking, "Make more meatballs; big brother must have not had meat in a long time."

Now, with the money Xu Nian’an and Xu Nianhua had earned, most of it they saved, but buying a meaty bone or some meat once a week greatly improved their lives.

With the experience from last time, Xu Nianhua easily made the meatballs, leaving most for their elder brother and the small remainder to be shared among the four family members, with each getting two.

At home, it was possible to have bone soup and meat occasionally, but for the big brother at the brickyard, if the family didn’t send any, he might go a month without a single meat meal.

Upon reaching the county, they first dropped Mung Bean Jelly at Grandma Cai’s, then the siblings went to look for their brother at the brickyard.

It was just before lunch, likely the most exhausting time.

"Big brother." Xu Nianhua had just arrived at the brickyard when she saw a tractor pulling bricks, and Xu Nianji was busy arranging them on the tractor.

Under the scorching sun, even with several people around, Xu Nianhua recognized her eldest brother Xu Nianji instantly.

The dark and thin Xu Nianji looked particularly tall, his gray shirt already soaked with sweat, and a gray-white towel hung around his neck like a scarf, convenient for wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Xu Nianji wiped his forehead with the towel and, seeing Xu Nianhua wearing a straw hat, smiled and said, "Little sister, what brings you here?"

"I came to see you."

With a lunchbox in her hand, Xu Nianhua stood by sympathetically and asked, "Big brother, how much longer do you have to work?"

"Almost done," Xu Nianji said. "Nian’an, take little sister to rest over there for a bit, I’ll be finished soon."

"Big brother, let me help you." Xu Nian’an stepped forward.

Xu Nianji refused, "No need, don’t get your clothes dirty. Your hands need to stay clean for writing."

"In ten minutes, we’ll have finished all this work."

Xu Nianji glanced at the tractor already half-loaded with bricks, knowing that once this load was finished, it would be time for a break and lunch.

Ten minutes passed quickly, but under such scorching weather, it felt unbearably hot. Xu Nianhua said, "Second brother, when will we be able to save enough money to start our own business?"

"We should have enough in another month," Xu Nian’an felt nothing but anticipation for the future.

In the past, all he wanted was for his little sister to go to school, but their family was too poor.

But now, Xu Nian’an also wanted to go back to school so that after graduating from college, he wouldn’t just have a job waiting for him, but he’d also be able to earn even more money.

"Nian’an, little sister, are mom and dad doing well? How’s the Mung Bean Jelly selling?"

Xu Nianji took out the lunch, which consisted of pumpkin and chili fried eggplant—the vegetables that were cheap and in season.

"Big brother, we made something tasty for you."

Xu Nianhua opened the lunchbox, and the fragrant meatballs immediately made one’s stomach rumble.

"Mom and dad are fine, and the Mung Bean Jelly sells well."

Xu Nian’an whispered to Xu Nianji, careful not to be overheard by others.

It was noon, and the food Xu Nian’an and Xu Nianhua brought was in lunchboxes wrapped in cloth bags. The three siblings sat under the shade of a tree to dine together. She even made a special dish of chili pickled vegetables, a tangy and spicy delight from their mother, perfect for eating with rice.

Even from a distance, it was clear that the bond among the three siblings was strong.

"So that’s Xu Nianji’s little sister?" Having heard that Xu Nianji’s little sister had come, Yue Hongliang took the opportunity to stand in a shady corner under the sun and watch her, as he had only gotten a quick glimpse the last time.
