"And what about you, little sister?" Xia Yiyang asked Chu Jiaojiao.
"Me? I'm no match for An'an. I don't know about you, but I should be able to handle three or four people. We can have a spar sometime."
"Okay, okay, it's a deal," Xia Yiyang replied excitedly. Chu Lezhi, who was driving, also quickly chimed in, "Me too, take me with you." The two boys couldn't wait to get out of the car and have a friendly competition. They thought to themselves that their family members were just better than others. The girls in Kyoto were all delicate and charming, spending their free time having afternoon tea, shopping, playing music, and doing art.
Xia Yiyang snapped out of her daze and quickly pulled out her phone to brag in the "We Are a Loving Family" group chat, being incredibly cheeky:
"Oh dear, which handsome, high-quality human was the first to see the older and younger sisters?"
"That's right, it's me, it's me," followed by a bunch of annoying emojis.
"You brat, are you looking for a beating? Did you pick up your great-uncle's family?" (Beautiful Life replied)
"Grandma, we've picked up Uncle's family. My two older brothers are driving, so I'm the only one greeting the pretty older sister and the cute younger sister." (Sheep Sheep Sheep)
"Tell the two boys to drive carefully on the road, we'll be waiting for you at home." Those memories fade with the wind.
"Yes, Uncle, we will definitely complete the task you assigned us!" (Sheep)
Vast Skies: Thumbs-up emoji
Seeing that the older and younger sisters were a bit tired, Xia Yiyang turned her head and wisely shut her mouth.
Chu Qian and Su Jin held hands, looked out the window at the changes, and sighed: "When we left back then, we never thought we'd come back one day. We really didn't expect Kyoto to have changed so much." Su Jin patted her husband's hand, "Yes, we've made it through so many years. We should be happy. But we can't be like this when we get home, otherwise our siblings will worry about us." Chu Yanzhi listened to the conversation between the two old people and felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
"Young Master, Young Grandma, Auntie, don't worry, the family has always been thinking of you. It's just that you haven't contacted the family for so many years, afraid of implicating the family. The family can only secretly care about you. I heard from Grandpa that when they found out you accepted the things the family sent, they were so happy that they dared to send things back later."
My great-aunt said that you accepted the things because you didn't want them to worry. Since you're so far away, they were afraid there might be something they couldn't help you with at home. Fortunately, it's all in the past now, so don't worry. Everything at home has been prepared for you, just like when you left. Basically, nothing has changed. My great-aunt and grandparents cleaned it themselves and wouldn't let anyone else touch it, for fear of damaging the things.
They were overjoyed to hear you were coming home. "Close your eyes and rest for a bit. You'll be home when you open them again," Chu Yanzhi comforted the three elders without saying more, letting them rest.
Chu Xingyue leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes to rest, and thought about the two older brothers and the younger brother she had met at the old house today. From their behavior, it was clear that they had received a good upbringing. Their words and actions made people feel uncomfortable at all. The younger brother told her that there were two other older brothers in the army who were supposed to come and pick her up together, but both of them had received assignments at the last minute.
Apart from my great-aunt's uncle and aunt who couldn't come back, all the other elders who live elsewhere have arranged to return in the next few days, which shows how much the family values their return.
Chu Xingyue could feel how much this family valued their return home.
The upturned corners of her lips hadn't faded since she saw the three members of the Chu family who came to pick her up; presumably, this whole family shouldn't be too difficult to get along with.
