After Sun Zheng'an introduced them and they got to know each other, they walked into the park.
Once inside the park, everyone walked along the lake and started chatting.
The two people at the very front, all lovey-dovey, are Sun Zheng'an and Yu Li.
The two people in the middle, chattering away, are Sun Zhenghong and Yu Haitang.
The last two people, who were remaining silent, were Sun Zhengguo and Yu Peng.
Seeing this combination, Son Jung-guk was speechless.
The couple at the very front are fine; they like each other and it's normal for them to be together. The couple in the middle are also fine; they are both girls, about the same age, and have common interests.
But why are you asking me to stay with that brat?
"Yu Peng, how old are you this year?"
To ease the awkwardness, Sun Zhengguo took the initiative to ask a question.
"Brother Zhengguo, I'm 10 years old this year and in the third grade of elementary school. By the way, how old are you?"
When Yu Peng saw Sun Zhengguo asking him a question, he stopped being silent and asked in return.
"Take a guess? Let me see if I'm right."
Sun Zhengguo was about to tease the child.
"I can't say for sure, but she should be a little older than my eldest sister, don't you think?"
"How old is your older sister? I don't know."
"You shouldn't ask a girl's age casually, but I can tell you quietly that my eldest sister is 16 years old this year, my second sister is 13 years old, and there are 5 people in our family..."
And so the two started chatting, and gradually, Yu Peng, who couldn't keep secrets, revealed his family situation.
Originally, the Yu family lived in Xinjiekou. Their housing was a large courtyard allocated by their work unit. There were five people in the family, living in two rooms.
Yu's father worked at the No. 1 Textile Factory nearby as a Level 4 maintenance worker, earning 56.8 yuan a month. Yu's mother was a temporary worker at the factory, earning 15 yuan a month.
The Yu family was already quite well-off for that era. I don't know why she married that good-for-nothing Yan Jiecheng in the original story.
However, Yu Li has already been snatched away by her younger brother. Yan Jiecheng, you should stop dreaming. Go home and slowly count your pickled vegetables! Hehe!
Thinking of all this, Sun Zhengguo's lips involuntarily curled up slightly, revealing a smile.
"Hey bro, what are you talking about? You seem to be having a lot of fun. Here, have an ice cream."
"Here you go, Yu Peng, you get one too."
"Thank you, Brother Zheng'an."
Seeing his younger brother, covered in sweat, handing out ice cream, Son Jung-guk didn't know what to say.
My younger brother is really going all out to pursue his own happiness. From the moment we entered the park, he started showering me with attention and then busied himself buying me snacks.
If this were in later generations, he would be a typical simp. Isn't there a saying like that?
Being a simp is pointless; in the end, you get nothing. So, there's no future in being a simp.
"Zheng'an, it's too hot. Don't run around. Find some shade and cool off."
While eating the ice cream his younger brother had bought, Sun Zhengguo showed some concern for his brother.
"It's okay, brother, you guys eat. I'll go buy more if you need more."
Holy crap, Sun Zhengguo was speechless. Was that what I meant?
However, this ice cream is really sweet! It also has a rich, creamy aroma.
After finishing their ice cream, Sun Zheng'an suggested going boating, which was unanimously agreed upon by everyone, except for Sun Zhengguo.
You said it's so hot, there's not even any shade on the boat, and it's all hand-rowed, what's the point of going through all that trouble? Sun Zhengguo said, you guys go ahead! I'll go cool off in the shade.
The sweltering heat couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of the others.
Before long, Sun Zheng'an rented a small boat, and the group happily boarded it and rowed off into the distance.
After seeing that everyone had boarded the ship safely, Sun Zhengguo found a bench under the shade of a tree and sat down.
Not long after I sat down on the bench, melodious singing came from the lake.
"Let us row our oars, and our little boat will push through the waves."
"The beautiful white pagoda is reflected in the sea, surrounded by green trees and red walls."
"The little boat floated gently on the water, and a cool breeze blew in our faces."
"Red scarves face the sun, and sunlight shines on the sea."
"The fish in the water watch us and listen quietly to our cheerful singing."
"The little boat floated gently on the water, and a cool breeze blew in our faces."
"After finishing our homework for the day, let's have some fun."
"I ask you, my dear friend, who arranged a happy life for us?"
"The little boat floated gently on the water, and a cool breeze blew in our faces."
Hearing the cheerful singing, Sun Zhengguo felt less hot, as if the singing had a magical power that could bring a touch of coolness to the sweltering summer.
This song, "Let Us Row Our Boats," was written by Qiao Yu, composed by Liu Chi, and sung by Liu Huifang last summer.
Upon its release, this song became a nationwide sensation, becoming a childhood memory for generations. Even after the millennium, the song remained a classic and was once included in textbooks.
Lost in the song, Sun Zhengguo squinted his eyes and involuntarily began to hum along.
Time flowed by slowly amidst this song.
At 3 p.m., the group returned by boat. The girls were already playing together, laughing and joking.
Sun Zheng'an, the main helmsman of the rowing boat, was exhausted and sat on a bench, panting heavily, complaining about the hot weather.
Sun Zhengguo, on the other hand, was relieved that he hadn't boarded the ship; otherwise, he would have ended up like his younger brother.
The group chatted and recovered their strength under the shade of the tree, and another half hour passed in the process.
Seeing that it was almost time, Yu Li prepared to go home, as she still needed to cook dinner.
"Brother Zhengguo, Zhengan, Sister Zhenghong, thank you for your hospitality today. It's getting late, so I'm going to take my little sister and brother home."
"Ah! Yu Li, aren't you going to play a little longer?"
Sun Zheng'an said with a reluctant expression.
"No, I still have to cook when I get back! I can't wait for my parents to come back before I cook for them."
In this day and age, parents go to work and their children, even teenagers, all know how to cook. Sun Zheng's family is no exception, so everyone is used to it.
"Alright then! You guys be careful on the road."
Sun Zhengguo said from the side, "He's not like Sun Zheng'an, who only knows how to play all day. He also has to cook when he gets back."
After leaving the park, the group arrived at the main gate, saw off Yu Li and her siblings, and then took out their bicycles and headed home.
At the entrance of the courtyard house, since Sun Zhengguo was not home today, Yan Bugui was playing chess with his eldest son.
When Yan Bugui saw the Sun siblings return, he habitually stood up, ready to go forward to greet them.
But when he saw that his siblings had returned empty-handed, Yan Bugui sat back down in disappointment.
They truly embody the principle of seeking advantage and avoiding harm to the fullest extent!
