Chapter 150 - She thought he wouldn't be back till next month. How was he here? (2)
The little bun nodded her head firmly and said, “Yes, I did. Let me show you, Big Sister. 1, 2, 3, 6, 5……”
“Hahaha…… stupid Mianmian. You are wrong!”
Tong Jiaxin busted out laughing from one side.
Tong Mianmian’s little face turned beet red. “Mianmian is not stupid!”
Before Tong Xuelu started talking, Tong Jiaming shouted at Tong Jiaxin. “Apologize to Mianmian right now, or you are sleeping by yourself tonight!”
The second part of what he said was very effective, so Tong Jiaxin gave in right away.
“Xiao Mianmian, Third Brother was wrong. Third Brother will apologize to you.” Having said that, he bowed down at Tong Mianmian. “I’m sorry. I bow to you. I’ll fart and stunk you to death!”
Tong Xuelu, “……”
Tong Jiaming, “……”
Where exactly did this naughty child come from?
Tong Xuelu rolled her eyes almost to the sky, but as long as things didn’t go too far, she never intervened too much when it came to matters among the siblings.
She was about to go stir fry the vegetables for the siblings when she noticed a little piece of meat was hidden under the vegetables that she had brought home.
It was the size of one’s palm, but it was meat.
She knew it. Working at the government-operated restaurant meant they would be eating very well from this point forward.
She quickly made a dish of cabbage and meat stir fry and a tomato and eggs stir fry.
Tong Jiaxin howled when he saw meat and was so happy that he almost somersaulted on the ground.
Tong Xuelu had already had dinner, so she did not eat more. “If you are hungry, you don’t need to wait for me from now on. You can make some vegetables yourself. I will be eating at the restaurant.”
Tong Jiaxin looked at her with envy. “Do you have meat with every meal when you eat at the restaurant?”
Tong Xuelu thought about it a little and nodded. “There was meat at lunch and dinner earlier.” She had no idea if they would have any the next day.
Tong Xuelu was even more envious after he heard that. He suddenly tightened his fist and said through gritted teeth, “I will definitely become a meat vendor when I grow up!”
Tong Xuelu, “……”
No. Wait. You will be a renowned designer after you grow up. Can you set your goal a little higher?
Tong Mianmian cocked her head and said in her milky voice, “And I want to be a server at a restaurant just like Big Sister!”
Tong Xuelu, “…………”
Oh, Mianmian. You will be a big star in the future. You don’t want to be a server, ‘k?
Tong Jiaxin nibbled on the meat and asked Tong Jiaming, “What about you, Second Brother? What do you want to be?”
Tong Xuelu, too, looked over at Tong Jiaming when she heard that.
Tong Jiaming thought about it some and said, “A factory worker like our dad.”
Tong Xuelu, “……………”
Alright. She didn’t even want to say anything anymore.

The sun was very bright on Sunday.
Mother Tong got up early in the morning. She brought the snacks with her and headed for the bus stop after breakfast.
First Sister-in-law Chen Yueling saw that Mother Tong was leaving and quickly said to her, “Mom, do you want me to come with? I haven’t seen little sister in a while, and I kind of miss her.”
Mother Tong frowned when she heard that and said, “I’ll be fine going by myself. And we’ve already talked about this. Zhenzhen is your little sister. Don’t make the same mistake again.”
Chen Yueling hadn’t expected Mother Tong to overreact so. She was taken aback a little before she finally nodded. “I get it, Mom. It was just a slip.”
Mother Tong nodded, turned, and left.
After Mother Tong had walked out a distance, Cai Chunlan popped out of nowhere, snickered, and said, “Some people don’t even know how to brown nose. That was entertaining to watch.”
Chen Yueling’s face turned beet red. She gave Cai Chunlan a stare, turned, and walked back inside the house.
After she had returned into her room, she told her husband what had happened. “What do you think this is all about? Why did it sound like Mom is still displeased with little sister, I mean Tong Xuelu?”
Big Brother Tong was still rolling in bed. He flipped to the other side and said, “You are overthinking this. Mom has always liked little sister.”
Chen Yueling pouted a little and said, “You better watch yourself going forward. I said little sister earlier, and Mom snapped at me.”
Yes, her mother-in-law used to dote on Tong Xuelu, but that was when she thought that Tong Xuelu was her real daughter. Now that she wasn’t anymore, things were not the same any longer.
Then there was the Tong Zhenzhen incident. In fact, Tong Zhenzhen was still locked up in the farm.
As much as Tong Zhenzhen had brought it upon herself, people always played favoritism.
That she dared not to say out loud, not even to her own husband.
