"Alright, Xiao Lei, thanks for Uncle Zhou’s clothes." Yan Jinsu didn’t hold back, and hearing that it was made by Xiaozi made her even less reserved.
Xiao Lei, seeing his sister had agreed, could only obediently apologize: "Thank you, Uncle Zhou."
Previously, when Zhou Zhenghui heard this boy repeatedly calling Third Brother as ’Second Uncle’ and Third Sister-in-law as ’Sister,’ he almost laughed out loud.
Who knew that now when it was his turn to be called ’Uncle,’ it would truly feel upsetting!
Yan Jinsu didn’t know about Zhou Zhenghui’s little thoughts, and when she saw him leave, she comforted Xiao Lei: "Xiao Lei, don’t be formal, he’s also your sister’s family, no need for formalities."
Xiao Lei nodded, hearing his sister say Uncle Zhou had become her family, and being not so young anymore, he immediately guessed Uncle Zhou might have gotten together with Aunt Zi.
"Thank you, sister." Xiao Lei still could differentiate, knowing that their kindness was out of favor towards Yan Jinsu.
"Didn’t I just say no need for formalities, why are you being formal with your sister now?" Yan Jinsu touched his little head, then as if something flashed through her mind, she grasped onto a thought and blurted out:
"Xiao Lei, do you know about Little Ya’s background?"
Earlier, she had thought, if the attacker was a child-snatcher, why spare the boy Xiao Lei but target the girl Little Ya?
From this one cause, it was clear that the attacker was targeting Little Ya!
"Background?" Xiao Lei heard this term and repeated it, not quite understanding.
Xiao Lei’s childhood memories didn’t linger, from what he remembered, he was a self-reliant orphan wandering around on his own, and meeting Uncle Fatty was a mere chance.
Therefore, he has never attended school formally, and now Uncle Fatty could send him to school, but he couldn’t sit still in the classroom, his heart worried about Little Ya, his sister at home.
Since he had never attended school and was a bit older, he could only start directly in third grade, but most of that knowledge he had already learned from Uncle Shou, making it difficult for him to fit in with peers his age.
After getting used to the coldness of human relationships and hunger, Xiao Lei really didn’t want to sit with a group of little kids and act like a good child.
Therefore, he initially didn’t understand the term ’background.’
Yan Jinsu didn’t think deeply, simply responding: "It means do you know whose child Little Ya is?"
Xiao Lei looked at his sister puzzledly, and replied unsuspectingly:
"Little Ya was picked up by Uncle Shou, when she was picked up, she was not even two years old, and has lived with us ever since."
Xiao Lei held deep affection for his sister Little Ya, without her presence, he might not have integrated into Uncle Fatty and Uncle Shou’s life as smoothly.
