Chapter 4: Accompanying the Countryside



"Brother Gui, Lele seems different today than usual." Chen Yao said to Su Fugui.

"I felt it too. Lele would treat us like this before, but after he found out by accident...his personality changed drastically. He became arrogant and domineering, and became proud of his favor." Su Fugui patted Chen Yao's hand and said.

Chen Yao nodded, "I understand."

The pretty and delicate girl blocked Su Le's way, "Le Le, why are you here?"

Su Le looked at her, feeling a little strange, "Who are you?"

The girl looked at her in shock, "Lele! I'm Xia Wan? What's wrong with you? Don't you remember me?"

Su Le felt disgusted when he heard her name. "Sorry, I fainted from hunger and hit the table. I forgot some things when I woke up."

Xia Wan looked at her suspiciously.

Su Le didn't care whether she believed it or not, he knew it was not a good thing anyway, so he strode forward.

Xia Wan didn't catch up, but just stared at the back of Su Le's head. Amnesia?

Su Le turned into his own yard and hid in a corner. After making sure no one was around, he took out a piece of pork belly from his space. Although they weren't his parents, they looked similar. Besides, he wanted to eat something better.

He carried the pork belly into the house.

Su Fugui sat on the sofa and looked at Su Le carrying meat in with surprise, "Le Le, why did you buy meat? Didn't your mother say that she would give you meat tomorrow?"

Su Le smiled and said, "Dad, I'm greedy and want to eat meat."

Chen Yao came out of the kitchen and took the meat from her hand with a smile. "Okay, okay, Mom will make it for you right away. Let's eat pork belly."

Su Le hugged her, "Thank you, mother!"

Su Le repeated her excuse to her parents. Su Fugui looked at her without changing his expression, while Chen Yao frantically checked the back of her head.

Su Le was worried about whether she could deceive them. After all, she was their biological daughter, and they knew her temperament very well. If she was impersonating someone else, there had to be a reason.

Su Fugui said calmly, "Then go and rest. I'll call you after dinner."

Su Le nodded.

He carefully examined the room's amenities. They were all made of fine pearwood. Su Le picked up a book from the table and began to read. It was a high school textbook. It was 1975, and the college entrance examination system would be reinstated in two years.

Chen Yao finished cooking and knocked on the door, "Le Le, it's time to eat!"

And on Xia Wan's side.

"Xia Wan, get ready, we're going to the countryside on the 25th!" Aunt Yao came to Xia Wan's house and said to Xia Wan and the others.

Xia Wan's face turned pale, "Aunt Yao, I didn't sign up!"

Aunt Yao said coldly, "What? Can I register for you privately?" Then she turned around and left!

Xia Wan suspected Su Le and went to Su's house without even eating.

Chen Yao opened the door and saw Xia Wan, "Why is Wanwan here?"

"Auntie Chen, I signed up to go to the countryside today, and I came to tell Lele." Xia Wan called out obediently.

Chen Yao pretended to be surprised and looked at her, "Wanwan, you...you kid, come in quickly!"

Su Le and Su Fugui looked up at the door at the same time. Xia Wan ran over to sit next to Su Le with a smile, "Le Le, let's go buy some things later. I've also signed up to go to the countryside."

Su Le pulled his hand back indifferently. "Why did you sign up to go to the countryside? Are you too comfortable here and want to experience life?"

Xia Wan choked, gave an awkward laugh, and rolled her eyes. "Haha, Lele, you said this morning that you hit your head and lost your memory. I thought I could go to the countryside with you and look after each other, so I signed up."

"By the way, has Uncle Su taken Lele to the hospital? I hope there are no other symptoms." Xia Wan asked Su Fugui tentatively.

Su Fugui smiled and said, "Lele doesn't want to go to the hospital. We checked carefully and there's nothing serious. It might be indirect amnesia."

Xia Wan nodded, "That's good!"

Chen Yao asked, "Has Wanwan eaten yet?"

Xia Wan politely declined, "Aunt Su, I've already eaten." But her stomach started to rumble.

Chen Yao smiled and handed her a set of bowls and chopsticks, "Sit down and eat."

Xia Wan nodded embarrassedly, "I'm so sorry. I came here in a hurry to tell Lele the news."

Xia Wan picked up a few pieces of meat, some vegetables, ate a steamed bun, and put down her bowl and chopsticks.

Su Le was still chewing his food slowly. Etiquette was ingrained in his bones and was learned since childhood.

Xia Wan couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Chen Yao took out twenty yuan and some bills from the room and handed them to Su Le, "Le Le, buy as much as you want, and prepare more."

Xia Wan's eyes lit up and she said enviously, "Aunt Chen is so good to Lele. Lele, you are so lucky!"

Su Le rolled his eyes.

Su Le smiled sweetly at Chen Yao, "Thank you, Mom." He wiped his mouth with a tissue and said to Xia Wan, "I'll go change my clothes."

I've taken half a day off to take care of my daughter. Now it's time to go back to work. Chen Yao and Su Fugui waved to Xia Wan.

Su Le was deliberately giving Xia Wan a cold shoulder. He'd read novels about cleansing the marrow with a spiritual spring, so he decided to give it a try. He walked to a spring in the valley, took off his clothes, and soaked in it.

The time outside is ten times the time inside. One minute outside is ten minutes inside.

After Su Le soaked for half an hour, his body began to stink and black liquid flowed out.

I can't stand it! I quickly took out the shower gel and started washing. After applying the body lotion and skin care products on my body, I slowly left the space, opened the door and said to Xia Wan: "Xia Wan, let's go."

Xia Wan had not yet realized that Su Le had changed the way he addressed her.
