Liu Ran thought about it and then said earnestly, “I like the current sis more!”
Ye Liu smiled and asked, “Why?”
They didn’t know what Liu Duo had been like in the past, but in their eyes, not only was she fair and pretty, but she was also confident, smart, strong, decisive, independent-minded, and she was even bold!
“Because I feel like sis was always too gentle in the past. The sis now will become fierce when she needs to be, but she is still very gentle. That’s why I like the current sis!”
He felt that the current Liu Duo would not let others order her around and get bullied, but she also didn’t lack gentleness. That was why he liked the current Liu Duo.
After all, being too gentle would make one a pushover. Everyone would be able to bully them, and they wouldn’t dare to make a sound!
Liu Duo smiled and touched his head. She knew the reason why Liu Ran said this.
After all, from her memory, in their family of four, Liu Ran was the only one who wasn’t a punching bag.
Ever since he had been old enough to understand, and every time he saw his mom, dad, and sister get bullied, he would argue with Grandma Liu and then get hit.
Though he was the one who was supposed to get hit, it was always Liu Duo and his parents who were hit instead. After all, Liu Liushi and Liu Duo would protect him and wouldn’t let him get hit.
After he had grown slightly older, he would no longer argue with Grandma Liu when he saw these unjust situations. He would just look at her with a calm face.
He didn’t like Grandma Liu and the others. If he could, he would avoid speaking to them, much less smiling at them!
That’s why Liu Qing would always scold him for pretending to be mute.
“Little guy, your sis is indeed quite fierce sometimes, but why can’t I tell that she is gentle?” Ye Mo suddenly said coolly.
Pfff. Ye Liu laughed. This Mo really didn’t know how to speak. He said Little Duo was not gentle, right in front of her face!
Liu Duo didn’t really get angry when she heard him, because she also didn’t feel she was gentle.
Liu Ran rolled his eyes at him. “If you can’t tell, then forget it. In any case, my sister is gentle!”
At that moment, Ye Yang and Ye Ling returned.
“Brother Yang, Brother Ling, you guys are back. Drink some water.” Liu Ran quickly to diligently pour two bowls of drinking water.
Ye Yang made a sound in response, and Ye Ling gently and said, “Okay.”
The house had become more lively with the addition of another person. The main reason was that Liu Ran and Ye Mo would argue from time to time. Moreover, Ye Mo would also occasionally argue with Liu Duo as well.
After dinner, everybody went to the yard to cool off. Although it was a cloudy day, and there wasn’t a lot of sunlight, it was quite sultry, as though it were about to rain.
“Little Duo, we are going to start making the tomato sauce tomorrow so we will need helpers. Let’s ask Aunt Li and the others to help. We can still ask Li Wazi to help out. How about it?” Ye Liu smiled and asked.
Liu Duo was seated on the rocking chair, and her head turned sideways to look at him. “Okay. It’s about a hundred jins, so we need a lot of helpers.”
They would have to hire a few more helpers when they bought more in the future.
“Beloved, it’s getting late, so you should go wash up and go to bed.” Ye Mo looked at the sky.
When Ye Liu heard him, he looked at the sky and agreed. “Yeah. Let’s go wash up. I will get the water for you. Little Duo, you can go upstairs and get a change of clothes.”
How had he forgotten he was supposed to share the room with Liu Duo that night? Just going straight to bed was such a waste of time.
Liu Duo swayed on the rocking chair and said to Liu Ran, “Ran Er, you go and wash up first. You should sleep in tomorrow, since you don’t need to go to school tomorrow morning. Understand?”
Liu Ran would always wake up very early in the morning and had never slept in. Liu Duo felt such a childhood was too much to bear.
One should still sleep in.
Liu Ran, however, replied without even having to think. “A year’s plan starts with spring. I need to wake up early to revise my homework.”
Liu Duo was stunned for a while when she heard him. Didn’t this mean she wasn’t able to sleep in?
After all, as his sister, she should set an example, right?
