"You will grow taller in high school."

...

After a brief greeting, the Ji family walked into the building.

This building was built by the three brothers of the Ji family. It has three floors in total. Uncle Ji contributed the least money at that time, but he took the second floor with the best location. Uncle Ji lived in the city at that time, and his son was studying for a doctorate. He didn't think about using money to build it, so he only took the first floor. Excluding the hall and the big kitchen, there was only one room.

Father Ji took the third floor. There were three rooms in total, all with separate bathrooms. One for them and one for Ji Yang and his family. It was just right for the children in the future.

On hot days, the third floor is very hot.

Walking upstairs, Yu Lu whispered, "It seems that the second aunt and her family are not here. Should we take the things up first or..."

"I'll take them to their room to save trouble." Mother Ji said.

"Mom will take care of it. Put down the supplements for grandma first." Ji Yang took it from her and put a box of eight-treasure porridge aside.

Old Madam Ji has bad teeth, and the family is busy, so they often can't cook porridge for her. She likes to eat this soft eight-treasure porridge, and they are afraid that she will be hungry, so they buy a few boxes every time they come back.

"Yeah." Yu Lu nodded.

"Go up first." Ji Yang said to her with his head tilted.

"Yes, go up first and put the things away. I will go to see grandma later." Ji's mother said to them.

Every time I come back, I have to go to see Old Madam Ji first.

Ji Yang and Yu Lu walked upstairs, and they could still hear the loud voice of Aunt Ji in the stairs. She was talking to the villagers who were walking back from outside.

"When Second Aunt talks to you, you should say as little as you can. She is just superficial." Ji Yang freed one hand and reached out to pull her, "Don't pay attention to her."

"Yeah?" Yu Lu didn't have much contact with Aunt Ji. She looked easy-going and restless.

"If you give her a benefit, she will smile more. If she doesn't buy something, don't even think about having a good meal." Ji Yang lowered his voice and said, "This person is greedy."

"The kitchen is shared, and everyone buys their own ingredients." Yu Lu had never heard others say this before.

Ji's mother rarely talked to her about these people in the family.

"She thinks that if she uses it for a long time, it's hers, which is just a nice way of saying it." He reminded her in passing, "Don't be silly. Just because someone says a few nice words, you will spend money on it."

Ji's mother was generous. She would only go back to live during the holidays. Buying some things would make everyone feel better. Yu Lu was even easier to talk to. She was more generous than Ji's mother. She would buy a special tonic and bring it over.

Yu Lu nodded in confusion. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he reached out to touch her head and rubbed it.

Just as they reached the third floor, she leaned over and frowned, "Then why didn't you say it before?"

She only came back a few times a year. How did she know?

He didn't remind her when she bought things.

"I didn't lose anything before, what are you talking about? I just remembered it today." Ji Yang excused himself.

Yu Lu couldn't refute him, but she felt something was wrong.

"I said whatever I remembered, which is probably my own prejudice. After all, when we were young, our family was too poor and we were often ridiculed by her." He said it with some sadness.

Hearing this, Yu Lu looked at him, and remembered that he had said that he had lived through a period of hardship before, so she felt a little distressed and stopped delving into it.

Just as she was about to say something, the door on the right side of the third floor opened, and a girl in pajamas came out, looked at them, and then walked down.

Her hair was messy and she didn't comb it, and she was wearing slippers.

"Is that Wen Mei?" Yu Lu asked uncertainly.

Ji Wenmei is the daughter of Ji Erbo, and she has a brother who is studying for a doctorate.

Ji Yang pulled her to the other end of the room, "Well, it seems that she didn't go to work either."

Ji Jun is too good at studying, and he studied all the way to a doctorate. Ji Wenmei is just the opposite. She didn't want to go to junior high school, and Ji Erbo forced her to go to technical secondary school, and she barely graduated.

After graduation, I was back home.

Their room was on the south side, with a good view.

Because it was renovated when I got married, everything was quite complete.

It hadn't been occupied for half a year, so there was a layer of dust on the bed and the cabinets, and the quilt was packed and locked in the cabinet.

Every time I came back, I had to sweep it a little.

Yu Lu had just put her things down when Ji's mother's voice came from downstairs, "Xiao Lu, Xiao Yang, come down."

"Okay."

She responded.

They were going to see Mrs. Ji now.

Mrs. Ji lived in the old house, and she didn't want to trouble her children, so she cooked for herself.

Except for a little blurry eyes, she was able to speak and move, and her spirits were very good.

She recognized Yu Lu at a glance, took her hand, and looked at Ji's mother, "Ji Yang's wife?"

"Yes." Ji's mother raised her voice and smiled.

"Okay, okay, Ji Yang's wife." Mrs. Ji nodded again, took Yu Lu's hand and patted it gently.

"How are you?" Yu Lu sat next to her and asked her softly.

Every time Ji's mother came back, she would tidy up the room where the old lady lived, and then put away the supplements she bought for her, and repeatedly told her to take them.

"I'm in good health, but your father is not." Old Mrs. Ji said, pointing to Ji's father, "I heard that he had an operation. He went to the hospital for surgery."

Ji's father scratched his head, and it was rare for him to have some children, "I'm fine."

"He has been in poor health since he was a child, and I knew something would happen." Old Mrs. Ji kept repeating, "He is in poor health."

"It's all right." Father Ji moved a chair and sat beside her. He looked at his elderly mother and felt bad.

Yu Lu went to clean up with Mother Ji. They also had to check if the supplements they bought last time were expired. If they were expired, they couldn't be taken.

Old Mrs. Ji looked at Father Ji and pointed at Ji Yang. "Your son is in good health, but you are not. You should take care of yourself. You haven't been back for a few months. I knew something must have happened to you, and they kept it from me."
