The courtyard of Zhao Xing's house was noisy. Zhao Xi frowned and sighed inwardly. He felt that he was very tired this year, and his hair had turned a lot white.
"Su Zhiqing, what do you think?" Zhao Xi looked at Su Xiao, seeking her opinion.
Although she had said that it was entirely up to him to decide, who knows if she was just being polite?
Su Xiao remained noncommittal, glancing at Huang Feiyan, for ultimately, it was she who suffered.
Huang Feiyan's mind was mostly on Su Qiang, and she only overheard a few things occasionally. Now that she was asked, she was also confused and innocently said, "I listened to you."
Su Xiao glanced at her and saw her winking and smiling ingratiatingly at her, while occasionally stealing glances at Su Qiang. She couldn't hide her girlish thoughts at all.
Su Xiao tapped her back teeth and gave a helpless, bitter smile. What to do? Having such a love-obsessed best friend... sigh...
No, I need to have a serious talk with her after this is over. Being love-struck isn't scary, but it's dangerous when you lose your self-respect and sense of boundaries.
“We have no objections.” Su Xiao turned around and smiled at Zhao Xi.
Zhao Xi breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more relaxed, and said with a smile, "Alright, let's do it that way."
Zhao Jianguo led two men and dragged Tian Jinhua away, and the crowd dispersed.
Su Xiao, Huang Feiyan, and Su Qiang returned to the square together, changed their belongings, and, no longer in the mood to wait for others to come and change, carried their things and planned to return to the educated youth compound.
"Su Zhiqing, are you not buying dried goods anymore?" When you encounter someone on the road who still wants to sell goods, you can't help but ask this question.
"We'll take them. Everyone can bring them to the educated youth settlement at night. We'll take as many as you have," Su Xiao replied with a smile.
"Okay, I'll come find you tonight." The man was overjoyed and immediately nodded in agreement.
Su Qiang looked at his sister, who was chatting and laughing with the woman, and felt a little unfamiliar with her. Then, thinking about what had happened in the past year, he felt only heartache.
He felt guilty because his younger sister had suffered so much without his knowledge.
"Brother, how long is your vacation this time? How many days can you stay here?" Su Xiao relived her memories of Su Qiang and got to know him anew. She no longer felt unfamiliar with him and asked naturally.
Su Qiang was always a little gentler when he was with Su Xiaoxiao. "I have half a month's leave, and I've already spent five days on it. I can still spend seven more days with you."
Actually, he was delayed in Nancheng for two days. When it was time to return to the army, he left directly, and three days would have been enough.
Su Xiao nodded, then asked, "You weren't injured on this mission, were you?"
Su Qiang paused slightly. "No, look at me, I'm perfectly fine."
Su Xiao's face fell. From his unnatural behavior just now, she knew he must have lied.
The group had already arrived at the educated youth compound. Su Xiao didn't say anything, but first arranged for everyone to put their things away properly.
Then, he took out a set of bedding from the cabinet, held it in his arms, and said to Su Qiang, "Take your things and let's go to the breeding farm. You can stay there for the next few days. Someone left there a while ago, so there are some empty beds now."
Su Qiang naturally had no objection to this and would follow her arrangements.
but……
"This package is for you, keep it safe." Su Qiang pushed the large bag towards her, leaving himself with only a small bag.
Seeing this, Su Xiao was deeply moved. This older brother was really good to the original owner of this body.
"Thank you, brother." Su Xiaotian accepted with a sweet smile, knowing that only her genuine acceptance was what Su Qiang truly wanted to see.
