This time hearing his sister’s words, Dong Li couldn’t hold back anymore and burst out laughing. Seeing Chen Jianmin’s dark complexion, he felt refreshed.
Patting him on the shoulder, he advised him kindly, "Chen Jianmin, you just helped Grandma Feng take care of the vegetables later. Leave the heavy work to me. We don’t want you to get injured doing the heavy work."
Chen Jianmin was a little annoyed and pushed his arm away. Then, he looked at him and said with a gentle voice, "Ah Li, I know you are worried about me, but I am much stronger than you think. Don’t worry, I will be careful and won’t hurt myself, lest you feel distress."
As soon as these words came out, Dong Li got goosebumps all over his body and said, "Chen Jianmin, are you sick? Can’t you talk like a normal person? Do you want to disgust me to death?"
"Humph! I will definitely disgust you to death if you dare to make fun of me again!" Chen Jianmin snorted.
While the two were bickering, Dong Huang covered her mouth and giggled. It was the first time she had seen her brother act like an eleven years old boy and not like an adult. She was glad that her brother had a friend with whom he could bicker.
Feeling happy, she said, "Brother, don’t bully Brother Jianmin. He is so pitiful!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Dong Li glared at Chen Jianmin and said, "Stop pretending in front of my sister."
Chen Jianmin raised his chin and said proudly, "Didn’t I learn this from you?"
Dong Li rolled his eyes at him and refused to talk to this shameless person.
Fifteen minutes later, they finally arrived at the Feng family’s house. Since the house is surrounded by a bamboo fence, they can see inside without any problem.
After looking inside for a while, Dong Huang saw Feng Lin chopping bamboo in the front yard. She waved at him and shouted, "Ah Lin, we are here!"
Hearing her voice, Feng Lin raised his head and waved back at her with a smile on his face. He put down the knife and went to open the door.
"Xiao Huang, Brother Dong Li, Brother Jianmin, please come in," he greeted them happily.
Dong Li looked at his left hand and asked, "Ah Lin, is your hand okay?"
Feng Lin nodded to him and said, "I didn’t use my left arm, so it doesn’t hurt."
Chen Jianmin also looked at his left shoulder and said, "Your shoulder is not fully healed yet, so don’t do heavy work. Today we are here to help, so just leave those tasks to me and Dong Li."
Feng Lin said gratefully as he eyes filled with admiration, "Brother Jianmin, you are a good person!"
