"Junbo, what do you think, is my sister's name nice?"
Mu Zhiyuan asked me this question.
Knowing full well that he was a seasoned sister-con who loved everyone praising his sister with him, I said for the first time against my will, "Yes, it sounds very nice. What did your sister send you this time? It's so heavy."
"This season is when lychees are in season in large quantities. Qingqing must have sent me lychees and mangoes. There's no need to send longans, as longans are in season during summer vacation."
Mu Zhiyuan asked me as we walked: "Junbo, let's take the high-speed rail back together during the summer vacation. We are both from City A. We will have company when we go home together, and our families won't have to worry so much."
"Every time I go home, my sister and my dad will come to the high-speed rail station to pick me up. As soon as I get on the high-speed train home, my heart is filled with joy. I can finally go home and enjoy the love of my family."
"However, my mother changes her attitude very quickly. When I first returned home, she treated me like her darling and cooked lots of delicious dishes for me, as if I wasn't getting enough to eat at school."
"After a few days, the enthusiasm disappeared, and she started to dislike me for getting up late and not helping her with farm work. She also disliked me for playing with my phone and playing games all day. When I was eating, even making a little noise when drinking soup would become a reason for my mother to scold me."
"Alas, what I miss most now is my senior year of high school. My grandparents, my parents, all treated me like the center of their affection. They gave me whatever I wanted, cooked whatever I wanted to eat, and took care of me meticulously. All I had to do was study."
"Even my Qingqing would wash all kinds of fruits for me to eat, and she didn't dare to argue with me. Then, as soon as the college entrance examination was over, I fell from heaven to hell. I wanted to have a sumptuous meal again, so I asked my mother to buy some delicious food. My mother said, 'You have already finished the college entrance examination. Eat whatever is at home. Why are you being so picky?'"
Listening to Mu Zhiyuan's complaints and imagining how he was treated at home before and after the college entrance examination, I couldn't help but laugh.
Mu Zhiyuan was as happy as if he had discovered a new world. He let go of the box of fruit in surprise and it almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, I was quick enough to catch it.
This guy suddenly let go without saying hello.
He was the one who felt bad after destroying the seasonal fruits sent by his sister.
"Fuck!"
Mu Zhiyuan ignored the box of fruit.
He screamed, "Ye Junbo, you can actually smile. I've been your classmate for such a long time, but this is the first time I've seen you smile. It turns out you can smile. I thought you had facial paralysis."
Me: "...I am also a human being, with emotions and desires, so why can't I laugh?"
Besides, he and I haven't been classmates for long. When we first became classmates, I didn't say a word to him for half a semester.
That is, we only started to get in touch this year, and it was because Mu Zhiyuan liked to show off that he had a younger sister.
He couldn't possibly know my family background, otherwise I would have thought he was deliberately showing off in front of me that he had a younger sister. There was no girl in my generation in our family, and my grandmother always told us brothers to have more daughters when we got married.
Don’t be like the Zhan family in Wancheng, who have no daughters for generations and are a veritable Buddhist temple.
Having a daughter is still a long way off. I am only eighteen years old, and the earliest I plan to get married is when I am twenty-eight. My grandmother will have to wait at least ten years for me to get married. As for having a daughter, who can guarantee that you will have a son if you want one, or a daughter if you want one?
You're thinking too far and getting off topic.
It must be because I have been in contact with Mu Zhiyuan more often. I have been influenced by him and have become a little nagging.
"Junbo, do you have a younger sister?"
Mu Zhiyuan suddenly asked me.
I shook my head.
"There are only boys in our generation, no girls. I have nine brothers, including my younger brothers and cousins. Including me, there are ten brothers in total."
Mu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Your family is really prosperous. Are you and your cousins getting along well? We cousins used to get along very well when we were young, but we gradually became distant as we grew up. If there were any conflicts of interest, we would even become enemies."
"Fortunately, there are no conflicts of interest within my family, and we haven't become enemies yet."
I was silent for a moment and then told him, "We still live together because our grandparents are still alive. We grew up together and have a very good relationship. Even though we are cousins, we are like real brothers."
Mu Zhiyuan suddenly realized and said, "Oh, so your whole family still lives together."
I don’t know if it’s my illusion, but I always feel that Mu Zhiyuan’s words are weird, as if it’s weird that our whole family still lives together.
Does he think that my family is poor and has no money to buy or build a house, so we have to live together?
I guess that's what Mu Zhiyuan thinks, but I'm too lazy to explain.
He and I are just so-so friends, so there's no need to tell him.
After helping Mu Zhiyuan carry the box of express fruit back to the dormitory, Mu Zhiyuan couldn't wait to open the box, then took photos with his mobile phone and posted them on his social platform, still showing off his sister.
A man like Mu Zhiyuan will definitely prefer a daughter when he gets married. This can be seen from the fact that he loves his sister deeply.
This time, Mu Zhiyuan gave me a lot of lychees.
To be honest, I don't really like eating this kind of fruit.
Thinking about how I helped carry it back and was exhausted, it would be a shame if I didn’t eat more.
This is the first time I have eaten a lot of lychees.
Mu Zhiyuan told us that after eating lychees, we should drink a cup of light salt water, saying that this will not easily cause indigestion. He also said that one lychee can cause three indigestion. He gave me so many lychees, and I ate them all. Didn’t I eat countless indigestion?
Fortunately, I didn’t get angry.
From that day on, I found that my classmates were very friendly to me. They always treated me to meals and food, as if they were afraid that I couldn’t afford to eat.
When I asked, I found out that it was Mu Zhiyuan, the big mouth, who said that my whole family was living in a crowded place and our family conditions were not very good, so he asked everyone to help me.
I:……
My freshman year of college began with the company of Mu Zhiyuan, a sister-con. Even though he was with other people most of the time and our relationship remained so-so, I still felt that he accompanied me through my new freshman year.
What I heard the most was Mu Zhiyuan's words "my sister Qingqing". I gradually developed a great curiosity about his sister Mu Qing. I wanted to meet her in person and see if she was as smart, kind, beautiful and lovely as Mu Zhiyuan praised her to be.
With the arrival of summer vacation, everyone packed up their things, took the train tickets or plane tickets they had bought long ago, and set off on their journey home.
Mu Zhiyuan asked me: "Junbo, have you bought the high-speed rail ticket to City A? We agreed to go back to City A together during the summer vacation. If you haven't bought it yet, buy a ticket for tomorrow and we can go back together."
