Su Xiangqin was silent for a long time, looking at the scenery passing by the window, and said word by word: "I don't believe it."
She might have believed it before, but not now.
Su Xiangqiu was only a 15-year-old girl who had rarely been out of the village. She was curious about everything at first, but once the novelty wore off, she asked anxiously, "Sister, where are we going now?"
"Let's go back to the regiment first. I need a certificate from the regiment to transfer my household registration." After saying that, Su Xiangqin touched her pocket, which contained the money her mother had stuffed into them. She planned to arrange for her sister to live in the military guesthouse first, and then rent a house after transferring her household registration.
The group's guesthouse is cheaper than the noodles, and they are trying to save as much as possible now.
Su Xiangqin roughly calculated that her sister's housing and food expenses would cost about 25 yuan a month, and this was based on the lowest standard. All the money she had added up could barely last for three months.
This was also the reason why she didn't think of Su Xiangqiu going with her at first.
When Su Xiangqin came out with the certificate issued by Political Commissar Zheng, she ran into Ji Zhen who was going to the office.
Ji Zhen glanced at the certificate that she had not yet put away, and when she saw the word "household registration", her voice suddenly became a little higher, "Are you really going to get married?"
Ji Zhen's sudden excitement attracted the attention of others. Su Xiangqiu was also shocked. She was afraid of affecting her sister's reputation, so she explained loudly: "My sister is not married, don't talk nonsense."
"Huh?" Ji Zhen then noticed that there was a girl next to Su Xiangqin. She was short and thin, with dark skin and a pair of big, lively eyes that were full of cleverness.
This look is exactly the same as when Su Xiangqin first joined the group.
Su Xiangqin shook her head at her sister, telling her not to be impulsive, and introduced her to Ji Zhen: "This is my sister, Su Xiangqiu."
Ji Zhen smiled at Su Xiangqiu and said, "I'm your sister's friend. My name is Ji Zhen and you can call me Sister Zhen."
"Sister Zhen." Su Xiangqiu was embarrassed for her rude behavior just now and spoke in a soft voice.
Actually, this couldn't be blamed on Su Xiangqiu. Ji Zhen gave people the impression of being a young lady who was not easy to mess with. She seemed even more formidable than the daughter of their village chief.
The village chief's daughter was jealous of her sister's good looks, so she didn't try to trip her up. She unconsciously lumped Ji Zhen and the village chief's daughter into the same category, which was why she spoke in a bad tone.
Su Xiangqiu looked at Su Xiangqin with eyes full of admiration. Her sister was really amazing. She actually regarded the eldest lady as her good friend.
Ji Zhen brought the topic back to the certificate and asked in confusion: "If you are not getting married, why do you want to transfer your household registration?"
"This is a long story." Su Xiangqin carefully put away the certificate. "I will go to the guesthouse to check in first. I will tell you about the certificate when I return to the dormitory later."
Ji Zhen glanced at the two people carrying their luggage and dragged Su Xiangqiu towards the dormitory. "Why go to a guesthouse? It's a waste of money. Just stay in our dormitory. There is a vacant seat in our dormitory."
The empty space was Xu Ruyan's bed, and the group had not yet arranged for someone to live there again.
Su Xiangqin saw that her sister had been taken away half a meter away. After hesitating for a moment, she turned around and ran back to the regiment office to explain the matter to Political Commissar Zheng.
Political Commissar Zheng was not a pedantic person, so he agreed immediately and completed the formalities.
When Su Xiangqin requested a certificate of relocation, Political Commissar Zheng asked her about the matter. Knowing that she must be living in financial difficulty with her sister, he suggested that the regiment help her if she encountered difficulties, but she refused.
Zheng Zhengwei knew that she was a girl with high aspirations, so he said no more.
Shen Nanqing saw Ji Zhen coming in with a strange girl and was a little confused: "Are there new people in our group?"
"No, this is Xiangqin's younger sister, Xiaoqiu." Ji Zhen explained as she led the person to Xu Ruyan's bed and said to Su Xiangqiu, "You sleep on that bed."
Su Xiangqiu nodded blankly, glancing towards Shen Nanqing from time to time.
Just now Su Xiangqiu thought Ji Zhen was already very beautiful, but she didn't expect that this sister was even more beautiful. Her skin was so white, as white as a freshly peeled egg, and her eyebrows and eyes were like she walked out of a painting. She was really beautiful no matter how you looked at her.
Shen Nanqing naturally noticed her gaze and smiled at her. Su Xiangqiu panicked instantly, her little face flushed to her ears, and she lowered her head to look at her toes.
Seeing her awkward look, Ji Zhen took out a piece of candy from her drawer and stuffed it into her hand. "Don't be nervous. We are all your comrades-in-arms."
She pointed at Su Xiangqin's bed and said, "Look, that's your sister's bed."
"Yeah, I know." Su Xiangqiu clenched the candy in her palm. Apart from her mother and two sisters, no one was so kind to her. Her nose felt sore and her eyes were instantly wet. She choked up a little: "Sister Zhen, you are so kind."
The first time someone praised her, Ji Zhen turned her head away slightly, a blush appeared on her cheeks, and she stammered in response: "That... that's good. You're easily deceived like this."
Shen Nanqing looked at Ji Zhen, who was secretly happy but awkward, and smiled and teased, "Look at you, you say one thing and mean another. You say you are unhappy, but you can hardly hide the light in your eyes. I don't know how proud you are in your heart, but you are pretending!"
"Ah!" Ji Zhen was exposed and went forward to scratch Shen Nanqing in shame.
Su Xiangqin heard laughter coming from the room in the corridor. Her tense expression relaxed, she quickened her pace, and pushed the door open.
When Ji Zhen heard the door open, she stopped tickling him and said angrily, "If you don't give me face again, I'll..."
Ji Zhen smiled in a mean way.
Ever since Ji Zhen discovered that Shen Nanqing was afraid of being tickled, she seemed to have a special move and couldn't be arrogant.
"Tell me quickly, tell me, what happened when you went back this time? Didn't you say you agreed to the marriage?" Ji Zhen came close to Su Xiangqin and asked impatiently.
"You're almost done." Shen Nanqing was speechless: "At least let her sit down to catch her breath and drink some water."
Ji Zhen patted her forehead and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I was negligent. When she came back from home, she went to see the political commissar without stopping for a moment."
"Xiao Qiu, go get your sister a glass of water." Ji Zhen said this in a casual and relaxed tone, as if she still thought she was Su Xiangqiu's biological sister.
Shen Nanqing shook his head helplessly. During this trip to the General Political Department, Ji Zhen seemed to be possessed by a demon and became particularly familiar and clingy.
Of course, this depends on the person. To others, he is still as arrogant as before, and he is only like this to her, Su Xiangqin. It's totally double standards.
Su Xiangqin took a few sips of water from the teacup, and then slowly told her what had happened at home.
Ji Zhen was stunned and exclaimed, "Awesome!"
She looked around Su Xiangqin, but after not seeing any clues, she stroked her chin and said, "Before, I really underestimated you."
When Shen Nanqing heard this, surprise flashed in his eyes, but in an instant, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he felt that this was normal.
Everyone will grow up, and those past hardships will eventually carve people into a brand new look.
Shen Nanqing's eyes fell on Su Xiangqiu, who had been silent. She really underestimated this fifteen-year-old girl. If Su Xiangqin's plan could succeed, this girl would have done something.
This girl will definitely be a ruthless person in the future. She is brave, smart, and has foresight. She knows how to take advantage of the situation to leave the Su family. Once she has the opportunity in the future, she will definitely rise to the top.
It was obvious that Su Xiangqin could not afford to support her younger sister. After deducting the thirty yuan she gave to Old Man Su from her monthly salary, she was left with only five yuan, which was barely enough to rent an apartment in Yandu.
Ana Shen asked, “How are you going to arrange your sister?”
