Today was Friday, and this week was a holiday again. After class, Su Mian, Wei Min and Li Ya Jun went to the county station to take public transport.
When they walked to the gate, they ran into Zhang Yan Jie and Sun Ying. The two stood at the school gate; who knew who they were waiting for.
Sun Ying turned around and took Zhang Yan Jie towards the intersection in front of the school as soon as she saw Su Mian and Li Ya Jun walking together. They were indeed enemies on a narrow road. She was thinking about waiting for her cousin to pick them up. Now that she saw Su Mian, she decided to go directly to her cousin. She didn’t want to wait for another minute.
Su Mian’s group travelled in the car for an hour, and then walked another two miles to get home.
Last month, Su Mian didn’t come back. This time He Qin had let Su Jiang Hai buy the meat and vegetables and waited for Su Mian to come back. Su Mian didn’t eat well in school, she needed to make up for it when she was home.
As soon as Su Mian walked to the entrance of the village, she saw Su Jiang Hai and Su Jin Long walking towards her.
“Sister, you are back! Father and I are here to pick you up!” Su Jin Long ran up to Su Mian and took over her luggage.
After two months of not seeing him, Su Jin Long had grown a bit taller, and now he looked like a grown young man. Su Jin Long’s birthday was in the third month of the lunar calendar, he was already 16 years old.
“Father, it’s just these few steps, I can make it, you and Xiao Long can just wait at home.” Su Mian said that, but she was so happy deep down. She was lonely and helpless in her previous life, and she felt that being alive was a torture in the last few years in prison. What was the point of being alive without a family member?
It was really great now, all her family members were around.
Su Jiang Hai slowed down and walked beside Su Mian, “It’s not busy these days, your mother is making dumplings for you at home!”
When Su Jin Long heard about dumplings, he was unhappy, “Sister, you don’t know how much you’re honored in the family. I wanted to eat dumplings on my birthday but our mother said she wouldn’t make any for me until you came back. If you didn’t come back this month, we had to wait another month for the dumplings!”
Su Mian went to Wei Zhen Hui’s place last month. She was a little embarrassed to hear Su Jin Long’s words. She quickly changed the subject, “Xiao Long, are you still studying during the last half year of junior high?” Su Mian was in a hurry at the beginning of school and didn’t ask for details.
Su Jin Long immediately jumped up and said, “Why not? Instructor Wu said, to learn more about culture and knowledge. I want to take the high school entrance exam, but I just can’t make it, I have a headache when I see the book!”
Su Mian was amused by him, but Su Jin Long was telling the truth. She remembered that Su Jin Long had a read and match question in the second grade of elementary school. Su Mian looked at Su Jin Long’s answer and she almost burst into laughter.
“Do you still remember the read and match question that you did when you were a kid, lambs are farming, farmers are grazing…” Su Mian made fun of Su Jin Long again.
Su Jin Long stomped his feet with anger, “With a sister like you, it will only be weird if I could forget about it! You’ve talked about it 100 times!” He turned around and said to Su Jiang Hai, “Father, please take some control of my sister. I am already this big and she still brought up the things that happened 800 years ago!”
Before Su Jiang Hai could speak, Su Mian hurriedly begged for mercy, “Okay, I’m wrong, this is the last time, I won’t mention it again.”
“Don’t you forget about it! Father, you testify for this. If she says anything more, I’ll tell my brother-in-law!” Su Jin Long’s big eyes blinked a few times and he leaned towards Su Mian, “Last month when you went to brother-in-law, did brother-in-law hug you again?”
Su Mian was taken aback; obviously she did not understand what Su Jin Long meant.
“Aiya.” Su Jin Long was anxious, “Just like that day when he came to propose in your room, hugging you!” After he finished speaking, he created a circle with his arms, with his head tilted.
Su Mian finally understood, this bad boy!
