Jiang Rendong was born when winter was about to begin.
At that time, Wen Yuanxing and Li Yue were traveling around various villages in a boat with baskets on their backs, trying to collect some soft and dense cotton cloth to make swaddling clothes for their little grandson. It would have been better if they could find a cow in the end.
Wen Yan sat at home alone and took off his old clothes.
Most of his original clothes were bought with Jiang Zhouâs help. He couldnât bear to take them apart and only picked out the ones he had when he was young. But no matter which piece he picked up, it was related to Jiang Zhou. Whenever he picked up a piece of clothes, his mind would automatically jump out to the days he spent with Jiang Zhou wearing this dress. He had no choice but to reluctantly choose the one he had worn the least number of times.
In the end, the stitches were removed, but before he put down the scissors, he was attacked by a burst of abdominal pain. There was always hot water at home. He endured the pain and knocked on the door of the aunt next door, and then he started to give birth to the baby in fear.
Jiang Rendong probably didnât want to cause too much trouble for Wen Yan, so he was born peacefully. When he landed, Father and Mother Wen hadnât come back yet.
Jiang Rendong inherited more of Wen Yanâs character and Jiang Zhouâs appearance. His appearance belonged to calm bambooâs type, with straight eyebrows and handsome bones, but his eyes were very much like Wen Yanâs, gentle and energetic.
Probably because he had some impressions of life in his infancy, Jiang Rendong was not very close to Jiang Zhou at the beginning, but he was still a baby so he soon took a liking to his father.
Later on, his attention was entirely on his younger brother Jiang Buli, who was born a few years after him.
Jiang Zhou was busy with business most of the time. When he was not busy with business, he was busy with Wen Yan. Sometimes he took a family of four out. Jiang Zhou and Wen Yan held each otherâs hands, and Jiang Rendong just pushed Jiang Buli, who was looking around from the stroller.
The town had long been paved with cement roads, and pushing the stroller on the road was not too bumpy at all. Jiang Buli didnât pay attention to the occasional bump, but instead smiled happily at Jiang Rendong with his milk teeth.
Jiang Rendong was particularly disgusted.
But it wasnât that he disliked Jiang Buli, but he disliked the way he drooled and didnât realize his little brother was having fun.
And based on his behavior, Jiang Rendong was a little doubtful about his old life â could it be that he also drooled when he was young?
No, he couldnât be the same as his stupid brother!
Jiang Zhou was talking to Wen Yan, and he glanced at Jiang Rendong out of habit. When he saw his short hands and short legs holding the stroller with an expression of disbelief on his face, he couldnât help but want to tease him: âXiao Yi, what are you doing in daze?â
Jiang Rendong was silent for a moment, then asked: âI⦠was I the same as my brother when I was youngâ¦?â He was embarrassed to say about his face was covered with drool and snot, so he just pointed at Jiang Buliâs face.
He always prided himself on being steady and self-possessed, but he never expected that one day he would be entangled like this because of the dark history of his childhood, and it was rare for him to blush.
Jiang Zhou almost couldnât hold back his laughter: âNot really.â
Jiang Rendong breathed a sigh of relief obviously, turned around, and wiped his brotherâs saliva with a small handkerchief, saying seriously, âI think I should make a saliva pocket for my brother, just wrap it around his neck, no matter how much drool he leaves, it will not drip on his clothes.â
He recently volunteered to take full care of his younger brother. He even washed the clothes himself, and even if his younger brother changed clothes every day, he still washed them all.
Jiang Zhou liked his mind of ââcoming up with new ideas and wanted to exercise his habit of using his brain. Naturally, he would not object. He just smiled and said, âI think itâs okay, but since you came up with this idea, itâs your turn to solve it. I will give you some suggestions at most.â
Jiang Rendong agreed with a serious face.
.
The next day, Jiang Zhou was sitting and calculating the income of each store this month when he saw Jiang Rendong put a semicircular mask on Jiang Buliâs head. Jiang Zhou was stunned for a moment before he remembered that his oldest son was going to make a saliva mask, the result⦠the shape and material of this mouth maskâ¦
Jiang Zhou couldnât help but stop him: âSon, isnât your mouth mask a little too tight?â@@novelbin@@
Jiang Rendong was just a little older, and he didnât quite understand, hesitated for a moment: âIs it tight?â
He patted the saliva mask again, and the palm and saliva mask made a muffled collision sound. He ignored his little brotherâs struggle and pinched his face, feeling the soft cheek flesh, suddenly realized: âOh⦠it seems a bit tight.â
Jiang Buli couldnât speak yet, but he was a squeamish and coquettish baby. He was pinched in the face and squeezed by his brother, he looked at him with his round and black eyes. After a while he cried out loud.
Jiang Rendongâs face froze: âDad! He, he, he, he is crying!â
Before Jiang Zhou could speak, Jiang Rendong covered his nose with both hands and exclaimed, âDad!! His shit stinks!â
Jiang Zhou quickly picked up Jiang Buli, took off his homemade diaper, and saw that he had indeed pooped. He quickly skillfully carried him to wash his butt, change his pants, and put on a new diaper, and then he safely put him back on the chair.
Children were forgetful. Jiang Buli had long forgotten that Jiang Rendong was squeezing his face not long ago. As soon as he sat on the chair, when he saw a familiar person, he hurriedly used his short legs to control the baby walker and rushed to Jiang Rendong, giggling happily.
Jiang Rendongâs eyes were strange: âCall me brother?â
Jiang Buli: âGaa!â
Jiang Rendong suddenly no longer disliked his silly little brother and happily to him to the door to bask in the sun.
Jiang Zhou only heard him murmuring, âIâll make you another mouth mask another time. I just saw the flowers blooming outside. Big brother will take you to see the flowers. What if there are little butterflies? You like butterfly, right?â
Jiang Buli: âHehe!â
Jiang Rendong: âGood child!â
.
Later, when he was older, Jiang Rendong had finished his studies and was learning business from Jiang Zhou. He was busy every day, but there was always a little boy trailing behind him.
When he turned around and saw Jiang Buli wandering behind him for the umpteenth time, Jiang Rendong couldnât help it, pushed him down on his seat, and said loudly, âJiang Buli!â
Jiang Buli said eagerly, âBrother.â
Facing him, looking at his brotherâs wide and cute eyes and the coquettish voice he was used to, Jiang Rendongâs impatient mood suddenly dissipated, but he still had to teach him a lesson verbally: âJiang Buli, why donât you study hard every day? Why are you following me around?â
Jiang Buli felt aggrieved: âBut going to school is so boring.â
âYou still have to study.â
Jiang Buli added, âBut I canât even see my brother in school.â
Jiang Rendong rubbed his head. âSilly brother, you can see your brother when you get home!â
Jiang Buli buried his head and said nothing. He twisted his two fat fingers around and played with the buttons on his body, not willing to listen.
Jiang Rendong was helpless: âOkay, okay, follow me if you want. But you still have to study. If you donât know how, ask me. Make sure you can answer when dad tests your knowledge!â
Jiang Buliâs eyes immediately lit up. He said, âBrother is the best! I want to eat fried lamb chops!â
Jiang Rendong touched his head and pinched his little fat face maliciously: âEat, eat, eat, you only know how to eat! Look at you, you are getting fat. You will turn into a ball! Letâs go, let Uncle Xia roast lamb chops for us tonight.â
Jiang Buli covered his face that was pinched in pain, looking aggrieved, but thinking in his heart, it was just a pinch in the face, and it can be exchanged for a meal. Uncle XIaâs grilled lamb chops were worth it hehehe!
Jiang Rendong walked in front and snorted. Donât think that he didnât know the tricks Jiang Buli used. From childhood to adulthood, there was no trick that Jiang Rendong couldnât see.
