My dad's marriage into my family made me rich, and my fierce yet adorable older sister spoils m

Guan Hongying never expected her child to be so smart.

Upon seeing this scene, he was overjoyed and burst into tears.

Looking at the children's earnest expressions, she felt as if all the suffering of the past thirty years had vanished in that instant.

She gently wiped away the tears welling up in the corners of her eyes, then nodded.

"Yes, I, Guan Hongying, am so lucky... to have such amazing children."

Lin Chuan sat to the side, smiling as he gave each of the older sisters a White Rabbit milk candy as a reward, and even a colorful wire hair clip.

In that era, the forms of these ornaments were not as elaborate as those of later generations.

Nowadays, even in rural areas and towns, people use those black wire bobby pins.

Upon seeing this, Guan Siya and Guan Sanya couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Brother Xiaochuan, why did you buy hair clips?"

Xiao Liu's mouth dropped open in surprise, and then she happily put the hair clip on her head.

Guan Siya also loved the hair clip in her hand, and immediately put it in her hair after seeing it.

"Lin Chuan, are you hiding something good from us?"

Lin Chuan chuckled twice, "Yes, I do, but I can't just give them to you casually."

Guan Siya snorted coldly, then happily continued studying.

It must be said that having rewards has indeed made me much more motivated to study.

However, when Gu Chi handed the item in his hand to Guan Sanya, he deliberately took advantage of others' inattention and lightly scratched Guan Sanya's palm with his fingertip.

This action caused the girl, whose face had been aloof, to blush instantly. She then glared at him fiercely, but held the candy and hair clip tightly in her hand.

Just as the whole family was sitting happily in the main room, studying together...

'Ring ring~~'

A clear bicycle bell suddenly rang out from outside the Guan family compound.

On this day when the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, the only people who can ride bicycles into the village and get here are the commune's postmen.

"Comrade Guan Hongying! Comrade Guan Hongying, are you home? We have a letter and a money order for you!"

Postman Xiao Liu, dressed in a green military uniform, stopped his bicycle at the gate of the courtyard and shouted loudly into the yard.

Everyone in the room was stunned when they heard this.

Guan Hongying didn't even have time to take off her apron before rushing out in her excitement, stumbling and staggering.

"Yes! I'm home! Did my Er Ya and Wu Ya write to me?!"

She was excited, and couldn't help but smile.

As they were talking, they had already arrived at the gate of the courtyard.

Seeing this, Lin Chuan and the other maids put on their cotton-padded coats and followed them out.

"Yes, sister-in-law, it was sent by the military region!"

Postman Xiao Liu chuckled and pulled a thick kraft paper envelope and a receipt from his military green canvas bag.

"Your two daughters in the army are really something! This time, they not only sent a letter, but also wired thirty yuan home, plus five jin of meat coupons and ten jin of grain coupons! Hurry up and put your fingerprint on it to sign for it!"

At this point, Xiao Liu's words were filled with undisguised envy.

Upon hearing about the fifty yuan and the nationwide meat ration coupons, Guan Hongying's hands trembled so much that she could barely press the inkpad down.

Keep in mind that at that time, an ordinary worker's monthly salary was only about twenty yuan, so fifty yuan was a huge sum of money in the countryside!

Thinking of this, Guan Hongying felt extremely distressed.

I wonder how those two girls are doing in the military region.

How long did it take to accumulate so many things?

They must have gone to great lengths to send it to them, even if it meant sacrificing their own food and drink.

"Oh dear, sister-in-law, what's with that beggar lying in your yard?"

Postman Xiao Liu has sharp eyes. In the brief moment Guan Hongying pressed her fingerprint, he caught a glimpse of the person through the crack in the door of the mud-brick house.

They even caught a glimpse of the gaunt old woman peeking out, her face covered in soot.

Upon hearing this, Guan Hongying's smile froze instantly.

That wicked old woman heard everything clearly through the crack in the door!

Fifty yuan!!! Five jin of meat coupons!

Upon hearing this, her eyes, which had become cloudy due to the fever, instantly glowed green.

She was so excited that she forgot the excruciating pain in her hand. Just as she was about to push open the door and shout, "I'm her biological mother, this money should belong to me," Lin Chuan stepped forward first.

"Brother Liu, please excuse my poor appearance."

As he spoke, Lin Chuan subtly blocked Xiao Liu's view and also blocked the old lady's door.

He sighed and said, "That was a distant, poor relative of my mother's. They were going through a famine and couldn't make ends meet. You know my mother is a very kind person. When she saw that the grandmother and granddaughter were starving to death, she took them in and gave them some food."

"However, her little grandson is really naughty. Yesterday, while trying to keep an eye on him, she accidentally fell into the stove pit, and she hasn't even had time to wash him in this cold weather."

Upon hearing this, the postman, Xiao Liu, immediately showed great respect and couldn't help but give Guan Hongying a thumbs up.

"Sister-in-law Guan, your family is not only a proud military family, but your awareness is also truly remarkable! In these days, everyone is struggling to find food, yet you still help your poor relatives. You are truly doing good deeds!"

When the old woman behind the door of the mud-brick house heard this, she almost spat out a mouthful of blood!

She was tormented half to death by this family, but in the mouth of that brat Lin Chuan, she became a living advertisement for their family's "good deeds"?!

What made her even more desperate was that since the postman had already decided that she was a poor relative who had come to beg for food, even if she rushed out and made a scene now, no one would believe that she was her own mother who was being "forced to death".

On the contrary, it will make people think that she is an ungrateful wretch!

Upon thinking of this, the old woman became so angry that her vision blurred and she fainted on the cold mud floor of the adobe house with a thud.

After seeing off the postman, Xiao Liu, the family quickly took the letter and went back inside.

Even Lin Hai couldn't wait to open the envelope, clear his throat, and read the letter aloud.

It turns out that Er Ya was promoted to officer because she earned a third-class merit for rescuing wounded soldiers at the military region's field hospital!

Wu Ya was selected as the squad leader in the communications company because of her outstanding performance.

This fifty yuan and meat ration coupon were the allowances and rewards that the two girls had saved up for half a year, which they specially sent home so that their whole family could have a good New Year.

At the end of the letter, Er Ya also wrote:

Mother, the army has a mission this year, so my fifth sister and I can't come back for the Spring Festival. I heard that there's a new little brother in the family named Xiaochuan. You and Father must take good care of yourselves.

Next spring, I'll try to take leave to visit my family and bring my fifth sister back to see our new tiled house and our new little brother.

Upon hearing that their two older sisters, who lived far away, had achieved great success, the girls excitedly hugged each other, laughing and crying at the same time.

Even Guan Hongying smiled and wiped away her tears, in a great mood.
