Chapter 171 The Brothers Are Back
Jinran led her furry army back to shore, catching a tuna along the way. As they neared the shore, she saw a dark-circled man staring at her with a deathly gaze.
Jinran felt a little guilty, so she greeted her warmly, "Whose treasure is this? Oh my, isn't this mine? It's so beautiful! The black and white color scheme is absolutely stunning. Who wouldn't be confused by it?"
Dark circles under the eyes: "Where did you take them? I'm just asking you, where did you go?"
Jinran asked in surprise, "Kid, are you so angry that you're talking?"
Her dark circles were blurry for a moment. "I always have, I just don't like to say it. You haven't answered me yet, look me straight in the eye."
Jinran: "............." Can't I even change the subject?
Finally, Jinran said all the nice things and promised to take it out alone in the future, and that was the end of it.
Even with dark circles under her eyes, she's willing to be hugged now.
Jinran breathed a sigh of relief. This national treasure had quite a temper. It really proved the saying that whoever falls in love first loses.
The four little ones looked at Jinran with disappointment and frustration.
Jinran explained, "In your little animal eyes, dark circles are just a black and white TV, nothing special and even a bit ugly. But we humans love them; they've unified the world's aesthetic standards. Besides, dark circles can even talk. That's amazing."
Dark Circles gave a few haughty hums, which Jinran adored.
The rich and noble "meow~ meow~~" truly shows how the world has gone to the dogs and how people's hearts have lost their traditional values.
The rebellious sons demanded tuna, and Jinran naturally made the arrangements.
The tuna was enormous, and the four little ones buried their heads in it, even Black Circles wanted Jinran to give them some. Jinran asked uncertainly, "Can pandas eat tuna?"
Dark Circles waved its thick palm, indicating that it was fine and could eat anything. In fact, it would become even stronger after eating.
Jinran was surprised. Had she neglected the child? Wasn't this just like Kung Fu Panda?
Since that's the case, let's all share the good stuff.
In the end, the dark circles under the eyes ate most of it, the four little ones ate a little bit, and Jinran ate only a small amount.
She smacked her lips, thinking about catching another one later; it was so fresh!
After giving the furry kids a bath, they were all so clean and adorable that Jinran purred them all from head to toe.
Zhao Cai and Jin Bao were a little unaccustomed to it, but they quickly collapsed to the ground, whimpering.
Jinran was proud of herself; her skill in petting furry creatures was no joke.
Once outside the space, time remained unchanged. Jinran then thought about sorting out the packages she had brought back, hoping to smuggle something out while her parents were still away.
Jinran was tidying up when she heard a knock on the door. She wondered who it could be. Did they know she was back?
To her surprise, when she opened the door, she found it was her brothers.
Jinran yelled, "Brother, you're home today too? Come in quickly, I also arrived by train today. I just called you, and the hotel receptionist said you're back too."
Shen Cong said with a smile, "We calculated the time and felt it would be about the same as yours, but we didn't expect to arrive in just one day."
Shen Ming grinned.
"Little sister, I really miss you. My older brother and I brought you and our parents lots of good things. We also brought things from the Su Kingdom."
The group entered the house, put their things down, and Jinran frowned as she asked, "Su Guo? You risked your lives to go there?"
The two brothers quickly shook their heads and explained, "No, no, it's just that a lot of business people are going there now, and Brother Wang got involved too. We didn't dare to touch it; that's a really risky business. We just happened to be close by and bought some goods to bring back for you. After all, it's something new."
Jinran nodded in relief and instructed, "You can't go, you know? It's good enough if you can make it in Guangzhou."
The two brothers nodded obediently, showing no sign of being scolded by their sister. Whatever their little sister said was right; listening to her was always the best course of action.
Jinran had only heard about the Su Kingdom during this period from others' stories. Light industry was underdeveloped there, and items like clothing could fetch exorbitant prices, which tempted many merchants—after all, fortune favors the bold—but money wasn't so easy to earn.
In her past life, she worked in a restaurant. The boss always told them that the first pot of gold he made when he went into business was in the Soviet Union, but he was so scared after only one trip that he didn't come back for half a year.
The specifics remain unknown.
After chatting for a while, Jinran boiled water for her brothers to wash up. Then she cooked some noodles for them.
Shen Ming helped start the fire and sighed, "Our county is still poor; we don't even have a bathhouse."
Shen Cong carried the brothers' luggage back to their room. After coming out, he heard Shen Ming complaining and rolled his eyes, saying, "We're doing pretty well here now. Don't be ungrateful."
Shen Ming shrugged and didn't say anything.
