Sunday came in a blink of an eye. Wang Zhaozhao got up at dawn and carefully picked out her best clothes.
After brushing her teeth and washing her face, she went back to studying as usual. After having breakfast, she put on her own schoolbag, mainly to carry a water bottle, and also took half of her savings.
"Do you have to go with me?" Xie Ailian called out to her.
She had never been to a movie theater, so she wondered if children had to buy tickets. Tickets cost money, as did rides and meals...
"My fourth uncle is willing to take me there." Wang Zhaozhao replied with a smile.
"Your fourth uncle loves you, but don't you know how to appreciate his kindness? He's dating someone, and he's inviting that girl to the county for the first time. Wouldn't it be an eyesore if you followed her?"
"...And you know, this isn't Fourth Uncle's first time asking a girl out. He's embarrassed about it himself, but with my niece, he won't be that embarrassed, right?"
"She's not a little girl, what is he embarrassed about?"
"Oh, that's because Fourth Uncle is afraid that Aunt Qiao will be embarrassed. Fourth Uncle is not the daughter, but the future Fourth Aunt is."
“…”
Xie Ailian felt like she had lost, and glared at Wang Zhaozhao in anger, "You were already sharp-tongued to begin with, and after a few days of reading, you've become even sharper."
snort!
She brushed off the non-existent dirt on her body and went into the kitchen.
Wang Zhaozhao chuckled and said, "Okay!"
When Wang Zhaozhao noticed that Shi Haiyan was looking towards the main house, he immediately stopped smiling and looked serious.
Shi Haiyan looked surprised, glared at her fiercely, and turned back to the house.
Being glared at wouldn't hurt her, so Wang Zhaozhao didn't bother with her. In fact, she couldn't bother with it.
The whistle for work sounded, and the adults all went out to work. Wang Xingwen and Wang Xingwu followed them obediently to the fields. They did not take on other work, but just helped Wang Fangbing with the work, which also made it easier for him.
Wang Baojia was always lazy and Wang Weiguo was still young, so he didn't go with them. Wang Zhaozhao was not too surprised.
But! When Wang Sibing took Wang Zhaozhao out, Wang Baojia insisted on following them, and Wang Zhaozhao thought of Shi Haiyan's expression at that time.
Her third aunt is really... disgusting.
Wang Zhaozhao saw that Wang Baojia was about to cry and glared at him angrily.
"Wang Baojia, if you dare to imitate your mother's tricks, crying and making a fuss, rolling on the ground, I will never talk to you again."
Wang Baojia pouted and said in a tearful voice, "I want to go to the county town too."
Wang Zhaozhao looked directly at Wang Sibing. She was just a child and went with her fourth uncle.
Although she felt that she couldn't take Wang Baojia with her, what if her fourth uncle was willing to take him?
After all, we are all nephews. Oh, according to the idea of many people who favor boys over girls, I am still a worthless niece.
"Fourth uncle has something important to do today and can't take you with him. I'll bring you some candy when I come back." Wang Sibing said to Wang Baojia.
“…If you can’t take me with you, why can you take Sister Zhao with you? Fourth uncle, you are biased!” Wang Baojia shouted sadly.
Really, he even covered his chest exaggeratedly, looking very uncomfortable and unbelievable.
Wang Zhaozhao: “……!”
Still a drama queen!
Unable to hold back, she shouted at Wang Baojia, "Is that even necessary? Of course I'm more sensible and intelligent than you."
"I am also sensible... and smart."
"A sensible person wouldn't cry and make a fuss about wanting to be followed. Besides, you're not smart at all. You just do whatever your mother tells you to do. Tell me, did Third Aunt tell you to keep an eye on me and Fourth Uncle? If you see us go out, you have to follow us. If you don't, you'll cry, make a fuss, and roll on the ground?"
"……"yes.
Wang Baojia pursed his lips and said nothing.
Wang Zhaozhao patted his shoulder and said, "Look! Alas..."
He sighed, shook his head sympathetically, and said, "You should study hard at home. Reading more books will make you smarter and more sensible."
After saying that, he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he tilted his head to look at Wang Baojia's expression and asked him if it was okay.
"oh."
Wang Baojia responded reluctantly. Is he really not smart? It seems that he is not as smart as his sister Zhao.
Wang Zhaozhao was still worried, so he told Wang Weiguo, "Weiguo, keep an eye on your brother and review with you. Write with him... Well, you don't have to study all the time. Just study in the morning. You can go out and play in the afternoon."
Afraid that the silly child would really study at home all day and not go out, Wang Zhaozhao quickly changed his words halfway through.
"good."
Wang Weiguo nodded obediently.
This time it was really settled, and Wang Zhaozhao followed Wang Sibing out with confidence.
Wang Sibing found it funny. This little girl was really good at fooling people, but she was also really worried.
Fortunately, when the uncle and nephew arrived at the village entrance, Chen Changlin had just arranged an ox cart to go to the town to pick up the newly arrived educated youth, so they were able to get a ride.
Wang Sibing did not go to work today. He had asked Chen Changlin for leave in advance. Chen Changlin was not surprised to see him taking Wang Zhaozhao out.
"Why does your old man attach so much importance to Zhao's studies?" On the way, Chen Changlin asked Wang Sibing curiously.
The reason Wang Sibing asked for leave was to take Wang Zhaozhao to the county town to buy some things.
As for what to buy, Chen Changlin imagined it in his head. It must be school supplies. After all, Wang Zhaozhao was in the same class as his third child. I heard that the principal had found books for Zhao Zhao...
"Since you've given her books, and she's a good student, we should take her seriously." Wang Sibing responded without blushing or getting nervous.
Wang Zhaozhao sat obediently, with a smile on her face, and didn't say a word.
When they arrived in the town, Wang Sibing and Wang Zhaozhao got off the ox cart, but it was completely unnecessary.
They were going to take the bus, and Chen Changlin was going to pick up the educated youth, so they all went to the station.
"Fourth Uncle, where did you and Aunt Qiao agree to meet?" Wang Zhaozhao asked Wang Sibing in a low voice.
"At the station."
"Hey! It's okay, it's not a big deal. You're just in a normal relationship, there's nothing shameful about it. Besides, he's the captain after all, he won't gossip about it."
Wang Zhaozhao comforted Wang Sibing.
Wang Sibing looked at her in confusion. "Niece, what are you thinking about? Do I, your fourth uncle, look like a timid person to you?"
Well.
So...was she just overthinking it? Wang Zhaozhao felt like she'd been struck by lightning.
But according to what the team leader said before, her fourth uncle didn't say that he had found a girlfriend when he asked for leave, and he wanted to invite her to the county to play today.
Eh...never mind, whatever.
The town is only the size of a palm, and you can already see the station.
It’s called a station, but it’s just a wooden board with two words written on it, and everyone gets on and off the bus at that point.
There aren't many people, and you can see everything at a glance.
Wang Zhaozhao glanced at the time in the system space and saw that it was ten minutes past nine.
"Fourth Uncle, what time did you meet with Aunt Qiao Li?" It wasn't that Wang Zhaozhao was nosy, but people in the countryside were used to getting up early, so even if they used a watch, they couldn't tell the specific time and were in a hurry, so they were rarely late.
"About half past nine or ten."
"Huh? Oh."
Wang Zhaozhao realized that they had taken a ox cart today and arrived earlier than expected.
She must seriously reflect on this. How could she think that her fourth uncle was stood up without even seeing him?
