The four brothers each held a cigarette, offering one to everyone they met, being overly polite.
As for Du Qing, Shu Jiao, and Liu Qingyun, they could only watch the men in front, shaking their heads frequently, but the smile on their lips never faded, with a few women gathered around them, laughing as they walked inside.
A few youngsters along with Ruan Jiaojiao didn't receive such a welcome.
The Ruan Family had many boys, all of similar age, so there was no need to play with other village kids. Besides, if they hadn't gone to college, they either got married and had kids or went out to work, and at this time, none of them were home.
And as for Ruan Jiaojiao, she had even fewer playmates. Before the age of six, she had Wa Yiting, but they fell out. After six, with poor health and a move, plus having many brothers, no one was there to welcome her when she got off the car.
