My younger brothers are so fierce!!! I'm clearly the eldest brother!

Pineapple flavor: Hahahaha, Jiang Xiaosan, you're doomed! Hahahahahahahaha

Milk Ginger: Zhuo wanted to choose C, but there was no C, only AB, or both AB. This brotherhood is so fake.

Steamed buns and porridge without water: Jiang Erge is gentle as water to his eldest brother, but cold as ice to his third brother.

Do I prefer mountains or the sea? Zhuo Ge's way of looking at the sky and the earth is just like how I look when I'm trying to avoid the teacher's questions.

Nam Yoon-ah's fan club: Kang Yeon is so domineering, how can he treat his younger brother like that? Unlike our Yoon-ah, who is gentle to everyone.

Half a Moon: Ran away gently? Indeed, very gently, thoroughly so. Even during filming, she was gentle. The line she was saying was so loud you could barely hear it if you turned the volume up to 200%, not even as loud as me blowing on a coin.

DustTime99..: Nam Yoon-ah's fans, stop spamming. The more you spam, the more negative attention you'll get. Wouldn't it be better to just stay quiet?

The one who's immune to wrong answers: Chicken? Big Brother: Don't mention it, I'm scared. Protect our Big Brother!

Rain Trace: Hahahaha, snatching bamboo shoots upstairs! Laughing aside, joking aside, protecting our big brother means no joking.

"I'll take on the task of cleaning the courtyard," Jiang Yan offered.

The reward for cleaning the courtyard isn't high, but it allows you to keep your older brother company, making it the most suitable task.

Gong Bolin rubbed his fingers together. "I won't take on any missions today. I'll go out and find out the details of the Apricot Blossom Banquet."

Having received most of the tasks, the remaining few people in the courtyard dispersed.

Zhou Mu led Zhou Linxi toward the chicken coop. Zhou Linxi hopped and skipped along, muttering something about fluffy little chicks.

Lin Jingxiao carried his tools and followed the staff toward the broken fence, while Lin Jingheng carried his axe toward the corner of the yard where firewood was piled up.

Jiang Zhuo, with a look of deep resentment, picked up the hoe for turning the soil and moved towards the vegetable garden pointed out by the staff, looking back every few steps, as if he had a wooden board around his neck and was about to be taken to the execution ground and beheaded at noon.

Jiang Yan ignored Jiang Zhuo, turned around and walked to the kitchen. After a short while, she brought out a glass of warm water and handed it to Jiang Guanqing.

Jiang Guanqing took the water glass. "Thank you, Xiaoyan."

Gong Bolin left Baiyun Courtyard to inquire about the Apricot Blossom Banquet and to buy ingredients for lunch and dinner. The production team was very stingy, having only prepared the ingredients for the morning, leaving only some rice and flour.

Lin Jingheng was chopping firewood in the corner, while Jiang Yan began tidying up the yard.

Jiang Guanqing sat alone in the rattan chair, his mood gradually sinking, his hands clenched into fists on his lap.

if……

Would it have been better if I hadn't agreed to come and record the show? Xiaoyan wouldn't have been so worried, and she wouldn't have had to ask for leave from the hospital and rush over overnight.

If he doesn't come to variety shows, then will Gong Bolin also not come? Gong Bolin clearly disliked these kinds of shows the most when he was a child.

If I'm not here, Bai Xin's workload will definitely increase. If I don't come and go to the company, will Bai Xin have an easier time?

I can't walk or stand right now, I can't do anything, and I need others to take care of me. What if I cause Xiaozhuo to be scolded?

Everyone else is busy, and I'm just sitting here, basking in the sun and drinking warm water, feeling like a burden.

It would be better if they hadn't agreed to come.

If only my leg wasn't injured...

Jiang Guanqing looked up at Jiang Yan, who was sweeping the yard.

Jiang Yan was facing away from him at this moment. The broom made a soft sound as it swept across the bluestone slab, and the sunlight outlined a faint golden edge around Jiang Yan.

Jiang Guanqing felt a tightness in his chest, a dull ache rising within him. Would it be better for everyone if he withdrew from the show now?

"Brother, what's wrong? You look so pale."

Jiang Guanqing snapped out of his daze and realized that the broom noise had stopped sometime earlier. Jiang Yan walked up to him.

Jiang Guanqing suppressed the chaotic emotions in his heart and forced a smile, "I'm fine, it's probably just because the sun is too strong."

Jiang Yan frowned slightly, sensing something was amiss. Before he could ask, Jiang Guanqing spoke again, "Xiao Yan, you're busy, don't worry about me."

Jiang Yan shook her head. "The sun is too strong. Let me help you inside."

Jiang Guanqing paused for a moment, then nodded. "I want to go back to my room."

"it is good."

Jiang Yan helped Jiang Guanqing to her feet and then led her into the house and upstairs.

"Alright, Xiao Yan, you can go ahead and get busy."

Jiang Yan looked at Jiang Guanqing sitting in the chair in the room and felt something was wrong. "Big brother, what's wrong?"

Jiang Guanqing shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm fine, just a little sleepy."

Jiang Yan knelt on one knee, took Jiang Guanqing's hand in his palm, looked up and asked seriously, "Big brother, what happened? Can you tell me?"

Jiang Guanqing was about to say it was nothing when Jiang Yan interrupted him, "Big brother, I just praised you this morning. Big brother, can you tell me something?"

Jiang Guanqing pursed her lips, her eyes reddening.

He's so useless; he can't even be a good older brother, and his younger brothers have to take care of him. He's always been a burden...

"Big brother, please tell me, okay?"

Jiang Guanqing met Jiang Yan's worried eyes, bit his lip, and said, "Xiao Yan, am I... a lot of trouble?"

The air seemed to freeze.

My hand, which usually holds a scalpel, trembled uncontrollably, and my throat felt like it was blocked with cement.

Several more seconds passed before Jiang Yan finally found her voice.

"Big brother, say it again."

Jiang Guanqing opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

Jiang Yan suddenly stood up and pulled Jiang Guanqing into her arms. "Big brother, you're not a burden. You're sick, I'll take care of you, take you to the hospital for checkups, and cook for you. None of this is a burden; it's what I want to do."

"But……"

"No buts."

Jiang Yan cupped Jiang Guanqing's face in her hands. "Big brother, look at me."

Jiang Guanqing's eyelashes trembled, and a tear slid down uncontrollably, landing on the back of Jiang Yan's hand.

Jiang Yan felt a burning sensation on the back of her hand, a sensation that went straight to her heart. "Big brother, if we're really going to talk about it, Jiang Xiaosan and I are even more of a burden to you. After Mom and Dad passed away, you took care of the company and raised me."

"That's because..." Jiang Guanqing wanted to refute.

Jiang Yan interrupted Jiang Guanqing, "That's because you're my older brother."

Jiang Guanqing nodded; as the eldest brother, it was only right.

"But brother, we are your younger brothers. We take care of you. This is not a burden or a trouble. It's that we can finally do something for you."

Jiang Yan's fingertips brushed against the corners of Jiang Guanqing's moist eyes. "Big brother always shoulders everything alone, the company's affairs, the family's affairs, the affairs of me and my brothers... You never say you're tired, you never complain of pain."

Jiang Guanqing opened his mouth, his voice hoarse, "But I'm the eldest brother..."

"My older brother is also a human being. He gets tired, he gets scared, and he... wants someone to be with him."

Jiang Guanqing was stunned.

Jiang Yan waited for a while, and seeing that the other person still hadn't come to his senses, he pretended to threaten him and said, "Big brother, if you don't correct this wrong idea, then from now on, I'm the big brother, and you'll be the little brother."

"No way." Jiang Guanqing hadn't even thought about it before he blurted out his rebuttal.

Jiang Yan smiled, "Then you should accept it with a clear conscience and not let those bad thoughts come to mind again."

c栖烬: Waaaaaah, I'm crying! Big brother, don't think like that. You've never been a problem.

During a meal of eight gentlemen: When Jiang Yan said, "Finally, I can do something for you," my tears just streamed down my face. Who understands?

I pushed Yong'an: Brother, don't cry, your crying makes me want to cry too.

7oiio*WaterOxygen: I screenshotted the part where Brother Jiang is holding his face and talking, and I've set it as my wallpaper. I listen to it a hundred times a day.

Ai Changdao Bing: The part where Jiang Yan threatens to become the eldest brother cracked me up. The eldest brother reacted so quickly, blurting out "No way!"

Luo Shuang'er: Big brother: I can spoil my younger brother, but my position as the eldest brother must never be shaken!

You Mengting: Big brother, don't blame yourself anymore. You deserve to be taken care of.

Zhilin Yanyu: That's right, big brother. Your younger siblings are just servants your parents gave you (not really). So what if you accept it without a care in the world?

Unlucky with math: LOL, I agree with you upstairs. Mother-born servants are the most useful; they can do whatever they want to my brother and sister.

Lin Yu'an: Brother Zhuo: What about me? I'm a younger brother too! Brother Jiang: You? Go turn the ground upside down.

Youyouanan: Hahahaha, poor Zhuo Ge, but he's definitely willing to do it, he's just not good at talking.

The children of the Ji family: When Brother Jiang heard "Am I troublesome?", he must have panicked; his hands were trembling.

Lo清ve: This usually calm person panicked because of one sentence from his older brother. Their bond is too deep.

Xueyu's Wish: Jiang Erge is kneeling on the ground, looking up at his eldest brother. This angle, this posture, oh my god, it's an absolutely divine picture!

Nan Nan Nan: It's like looking up at one's own god, or guarding one's own treasure.

Guanqing baby will always be happy: Big brother is so cute, he was still crying, but he reacted so quickly when he was defending his position.
