Chapter 304: Chapter 297 Still Remembering Sister
And Tang Yuxin missed her little brother, a brother who she helped bring into this world. This was her compensation for the Tang family. In her previous life, the Tang family, having lost her and her uncle, was practically on the verge of dying out. Her father was in a bad situation too, with seemingly no chance of having a good life. Now, in this life, the Tang family finally has descendants, and she finally has a little brother.
She loved her little brother. He was hers, just like her father. She did not have a younger sister like Wei Jiani; that sister belonged to others, and the mother too belonged to that sister.
The car sped along, and Tang Yuxin leaned her hand against the car window. In just about one year, Sea City had seen significant changes. The grand avenue that spanned the entire Qing’an was finally being built. From now on, Sea City would undergo a whole new transformation, and so would the people of Qing’an.
But such change was unknown to the people of the present day.
Without experiencing that era, they would never know that such a day would come.
“Uncle, when did you learn to drive?” Tang Yuxin turned her head back and asked Tang Zhinian. When she went to school, her uncle was still riding an electric tricycle. That tricycle had accompanied her as she grew, from when she didn’t even start school until her high school days, consistently serving their family. Now, it seems to have finally retired.
“Not long after you went to Beijing, I started learning. Nobody in the family wanted to learn how to drive, so your uncle, being the bravest, decided to do it,” Tang Zhijun turned the steering wheel, still grinning, “Our old electric tricycle broke down at that time, so we bought a car. It will come in handy for business deals and such in future. We can’t always be travelling in the old tricycle.”
“Well…” Speaking of this, Tang Zhijun couldn’t help but laugh and cry. “When that old tricycle got hauled away, Sisi was so upset, she wept bitterly. When little Chengcheng saw her crying, he started bawling as well. It took your aunt a long time to soothe them and stop their tears. Children these days…” he shook his head, “Why do they get so emotionally attached?”
Tang Yuxin leaned her head against the car window. It wasn’t about being sentimental, but rather, over time, attachments form. Even though it was just an inanimate object, she would always remember how she grew up riding in that tricycle, from a little girl to a grown-up. Now that she had grown up, the tricycle had aged and was discarded.
In fact, humans are the most ruthless of all.

She closed her eyes. She had just gotten off the train and felt a bit sleepy. There was still about an hour’s drive to Li Tang Village from their current location. She decided to take a quick nap.
It wasn’t until the car pulled up before she jolted awake. Glancing around, they were already at the entrance of Li Tang Village. The road had been blocked, and when the person who caused the obstruction heard the car horn, they hurriedly moved aside, allowing Tang Zhijun to drive into the village.
Tang Yuxin thought, surely, the car that Tang Zhijun was driving must be the first car in the village. After all, Li Tang Village was still not affluent, with most people living off the few acres of land they owned. Owning an electric tricycle was considered good for them, let alone a car.
Upon their arrival, Tang Zhijun parked the car in front of their house. Across the street, the produce market was still bustling with business, with people from neighboring villages coming to wholesale their vegetables. Business had picked up since a few years ago, with all kinds of products being sold; the village was now livelier than ever.
Tang Yuxin got out of the car, while Tang Zhijun picked up her luggage and knocked on the door.
Soon after, footsteps could be heard from inside, and with a creaking sound, the door was opened.
A figure poked their head out from the door – it was Sisi. Sisi had grown taller this year, already in junior high school and evolving into a young lady.
“Sister, you’re back!” Sisi readily embraced Tang Yuxin with pure joy, “Did you bring me any snacks? You said you would bring me some local specialties when you come back.”
“Yes, I brought some.” Tang Yuxin ruffled Sisi’s hair, noting that Sisi had grown to look more like Zhang Xiangcao. Sisi’s features were neat and elegant, making her look like a little beauty. Now she understood why Zhang Xiangcao was once considered the flower of Li Tang Village. Sisi’s cute, petite face was a testament to how pretty Zhang Xiangcao must have been in her youth.
“Thank you, sis,” Sisi happily rubbed against Tang Yuxin’s arm, acting just like when she was little. Even though they were not sisters by blood, their affection was stronger than any of those.
Tang Yuxin then looked down and saw a chubby little boy crouching on the floor, busily engaged in something. He looked to be taking the task quite seriously.
“He’s counting ants.”
Sisi explained with a minor complaint, “Chengcheng is weird, he loves counting ants. I don’t know what’s so interesting about these ants. If it were me, I would have more fun pouring hot water on the ants or burning them with a magnifying glass.”
Tang Zhijun quickly covered his face with his hand.
As the father, he had failed in teaching the child properly.
Tang Yuxin walked over and squatted in front of her little brother, only to find that the chubby boy was indeed counting ants. His chubby cheek was rather serious. In comparison to when she was at school, he looked even chubbier and rounder, though of course, taller too. However, he was still chubby.
“What are you looking at?” Tang Yuxin casually squatted down beside him.
The chubby boy suddenly looked up, his gaze fixated on her for the longest time.
He was sucking his thumb, his chubby little face innocently delightful. He was so adorable, one couldn’t help but wish to pinch his cheeks.
The chubby boy tilted his head, perhaps still puzzled, but quickly, his little mouth broke into a smile, and he pounced on Tang Yuxin.
“Sis, sis…”
His little voice was so cute and milky, that chubby boy came running straight into his sister’s arms into a warm embrace.
Tang Yuxin patted her little brother’s chubby cheek. He had truly grown up and had become quite pleasing to the eyes.
The little boy seemed to be aware that his sister was praising him, smiling just like a ginseng baby doll. The only thing missing were two little ox horns on his head and a red bellyband on his body.
Tang Yuxin squeezed her little brother’s chubby cheeks for quite some time, resembling someone kneading dough. The good-natured little boy casually offered his chubby cheeks to his sister, allowing her to ply them as she wished.
Indeed, a younger brother like this was the easiest to bully. However, she could only bully him for a few years. Once he grew up and came of age, she wouldn’t be able to do this anymore.
“Let’s go, wash your hands,” Tang Yuxin stood up and pulled her little brother up by his meaty hands. Her little brother had indeed grown fatter. She had just tried to lift him and found out that she was no longer capable of doing so.
