Chapter 86: The Whole Family Are Drama Queens
Evening.
Elder Brother returned.
His face was flushed, and he looked very happy.
Seeing Elder Brother walking towards her,
Jiang Mianmian reached out her chubby little hand to press down the little onion sprout hairstyle on her forehead.
She wouldn’t let Elder Brother tug at it.
She successfully stopped Elder Brother from tugging her hair, but she was lifted up by him entirely.
Jiang Feng held his younger sister, lifting her high up.
Jiang Mianmian became happy.
Being held, especially by a young brother, was a very exciting thing.
“Mianmian, have you been a good girl at home today?” Jiang Feng asked.
“Very good,” Jiang Mianmian replied.
Jiang Feng couldn’t help but laugh.
He held his younger sister in his arms and subconsciously touched her head, but ended up bumping into two chubby hands.
“Father tied it, you can’t touch it,” Jiang Mianmian said, shaking her head.
“Alright, I won’t touch it.” Looking at the already crooked little onion sprout, Jiang Feng said he wouldn’t touch it, but couldn’t help giving it a tug anyway.
His eyes curved into crescents as he smiled.
Jiang Mianmian was a little angry.
Elder Brother didn’t keep his word. Her little hand wanted to slap Elder Brother, but she felt she shouldn’t hit people, so she slapped the table beside her instead.
As it turned out, there was a small building block on the table. Ever since she started playing with toys, her things were scattered everywhere in the house.
With a thud.
Jiang Mianmian was stunned.
The small building block in front of her had been flattened by her slap.
Really, the small wooden block had been flattened by her.
She was startled at first, and then, seeing the surprised look in Elder Brother’s eyes, she felt she couldn’t explain it clearly.
With an “Ah~~” sound, she began to wail.
As she cried, she wondered: she drank spiritual spring water like water every day; had it finally caused a qualitative change and given her a superpower?
This strength felt so secure. Awoo, awoo, awoo, she was so happy! With this strength, she could lift a patient all by herself.
Jiang Feng looked at his wailing younger sister. As she cried, the little onion sprout on her head wobbled even more crookedly. Was she actually scared by her own great strength?
Jiang Feng wondered if his younger sister had returned from that place just like him.
If that were the case, it would explain why there was always an Ant following her, and why she spent all day talking to that Ant, even naming it Little Tree.
It would also explain why her strength had increased; his own strength had been the same, suddenly increasing.
Thinking this might be the case, Jiang Feng’s eyes reddened slightly. He held his younger sister tightly in his arms: “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, Mianmian, don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid.”
Jiang Mianmian was held tightly by Elder Brother. She had cried because she didn’t know how to explain and wanted to muddle through, but Elder Brother had suddenly become very sad, holding her and looking like he wanted to cry even more than her.
She had no choice but to stop crying and look up at Elder Brother. Sure enough, Elder Brother’s eyes were red.
Jiang Feng thought his younger sister was still afraid, so he picked up a building block from the side and crushed it to pieces to show her, turning it into powder.
He said: “Look, Elder Brother can do it too. Mianmian, don’t be afraid.”
Jiang Mianmian:…
Jiang Mianmian suddenly felt heroic. She felt that from today on, she was no longer a support character; she had also gained great strength. Roar, roar, roar!
Jiang Mianmian became happy.
She wiggled out of Elder Brother’s embrace and waddled off to find Mother.
She wanted to show Mother her amazing abilities.
Mother was cooking in the kitchen.
Jiang Mianmian tugged at Mother’s skirt and looked up at her.
Mother was so tall.
Qin Luoxia looked down and saw her little daughter, her hair wobbling; she was so cute, she adored her so much.
“Go outside and play, I’m worried you’ll get burned.” Adoration was one thing, but she couldn’t let the little one cause trouble in the kitchen.
As Qin Luoxia spoke, she tossed minced meat into the pot.
Then, she saw her use one hand to crush the dried meat that had almost broken Young Master He Chen’s teeth, crumbling it effortlessly into powder and sprinkling it into the pot.
Jiang Mianmian watched the powder…
Qin Luoxia looked at her little daughter, who was still tugging at her skirt, and asked: “Mianmian, what do you need from Mother?”
Jiang Mianmian handed over the small building block in her hand. She had originally planned to perform crushing the block for her, but forget it.
Qin Luoxia thought her daughter wanted to give her a little piece of wood, so she hurriedly took it and stuffed it into her pocket.
She looked down and stuffed a small steamed bun into her daughter’s hand, saying: “Take this and go eat outside.”
And so, Jiang Mianmian was dismissed with a steamed bun.
She took the steamed bun and went to find the Elder Sister.
Elder Sister was actually embroidering. Jiang Mianmian watched Elder Sister distressfully poking around with a needle; she didn’t seem very good at embroidery. She had seen the Elder Sister doing quite well at sewing shoe soles and patching clothes.
Yet now, she was trying to embroider with colored thread.
When Jiang Mianmian approached, she heard the Elder Sister roar: “So annoying!”
Then the needle in her hand was snapped by her.
Jiang Mianmian:…
She cautiously called out: “Elder Sister.”
Jiang Yu looked up and saw the steamed bun in her younger sister’s hand.
She smiled and said: “Elder Sister won’t eat it, you eat it yourself.”
Jiang Mianmian withdrew the hand holding the building block.
The Elder Sister only had eyes for food.
Jiang Mianmian felt touched again. Elder Sister, that big foodie, although gluttonous, always let her have things. Whenever she had something delicious, she always wanted to share it with her, and wouldn’t give it to anyone else.
However, she didn’t dare to eat some of the things the Elder Sister gave her.
“Elder Sister, eat, eat.” Jiang Mianmian gave the bun to the Elder Sister; she was full and not hungry.
Leaving the bun and getting her face covered in slobber from Elder Sister’s kisses, Jiang Mianmian prepared to find Father.
She couldn’t beat anyone in the whole family; perhaps only the frail Father needed her protection.
It took Jiang Mianmian a long time, walking with her short little legs, to find Father in the backyard.
By the way, they hadn’t moved, but the villagers had helped repair the house, expanded the grounds, and they now had a backyard.
When Jiang Mianmian went over, she saw Father cleaning Ferrari White in the middle of winter.
Father was very clean, and the white horse was kept very clean too.
When she arrived, Father was holding one of the horse’s legs up, wiping the hoof.
Seeing his little daughter approaching, Jiang Changtian hurriedly stopped her: “Mianmian, you sit over there, don’t come over, I’m worried the horse might hurt you.”
Jiang Mianmian sat on a small stool to the side with her building block, waiting obediently for Father.
But then she saw Father wipe the hoof clean, lift the horse up, put it aside, and continue wiping.
Jiang Mianmian:…
Father, Father actually had great strength too! Father always acted all ying ying ying and wu wu in front of Mother. She had thought Father had just become better-looking and even frailer…
Father, that handsome liar.
Jiang Mianmian was so angry she crushed the building block in her hand, slid off the little stool, and left.
“Thump.”
She fell.
