“Just eat it. I’ve already eaten it on the train,” she said. She wasn’t lying. Sun Kaicheng had opened a can of fruit on the train and the two of them shared it, saying it was like eating fruit.
"Really, big sister, you've really eaten?"
"Really, would I lie to you? Quickly, the two of you can each have half."
Knowing that the eldest sister had already eaten the two boys, she didn't hold back. She wasn't just saying that half-grown boys could eat her father out of house and home. A can of food wasn't much, and there were six people in the house, so each person could only share a little to taste. It was definitely not enough to eat.
Both of them felt they could easily down two bottles by themselves.
Qian Jiefang and Li Guizhi were reluctant to eat any and planned to give it all to their three children, but Qian Xiao pushed it back, saying, "Father and Mother, you should try some too."
"Neither your father nor I like to eat this."
"Mom, come on, nobody doesn't love good food. Just eat what I'm offering. Once I start working, I'll buy you food often. Eat up."
Sun Kaicheng pushed his bowl in front of Qian Xiao: "I don't like sweets, you eat it."
I have to say that Erdan is a good older sister. She loves sweet things, but she can resist eating them.
Qian Xiao didn't stand on ceremony and immediately took the bowl and started eating. She knew that Sun Kaicheng really didn't like sweet things. The two of them often ate together, so she was quite familiar with Sun Kaicheng's taste preferences.
Qian Jiefang and Li Guizhi watched as their daughter ate other people's food without any hesitation. Wasn't this just too much of a habit?
Are these two really not that bad?
The couple looked at their daughter's face, then at their son who was even more handsome than their daughter. Hmm, they didn't seem to be a good match. And the boy's face was so childish. Were they overthinking things? They were still just kids.
Li Guizhi coughed and said, "Hey, Xiao Sun, how old are you?" She's in the same university as my daughter, so she must be at least sixteen or seventeen this year. This kid looks so young.
Sun Kaicheng has incredibly keen senses; he has a clear grasp of people's emotional changes. He deliberately made Erdan's parents accept the fact that he likes their daughter little by little.
He's not some great person. I'm nice to you so you know it, otherwise he'd just become the kind of sycophant you read about in those books. He wouldn't do anything to feel good about himself.
"Auntie, I'm two years older than Xiaoxiao."
My daughter will be twelve after the New Year, and this guy is two years older than her, so he'll be fourteen. The age is just right.
Wait, I almost got myself into this mess. These are just two little kids who haven't even grown up yet. Maybe I'm overthinking it. My own Erdan and Gouzi get along pretty well too.
She forgot that the dog was her own relative; sometimes age is the best camouflage.
"Xiaoxiao?" She almost forgot that her daughter's full name was Qian Xiao.
"Mom, you're a smart kid too. It's good that you two help each other at school since you're young. Erdan, take Xiaosun to wash up. We'll eat after you wash up. Are you all hungry?"
The whole family was waiting for their daughter to arrive before eating, and once they started talking, she almost forgot about dinner.
Qian Xiao finished the last sip of soup, smacked his lips, and felt that the canned food at this time tasted better than that of later generations: "Okay, I'm hungry too."
I didn't eat at the train station today; I came straight back after getting off the train, and my stomach was growling.
After dinner, it was time to rest. There were only three rooms in the house that people could live in, and Qian Xiao knew that Sun Kaicheng was a poor but particular man.
“You can sleep in my room. I’ll just squeeze in with my two younger brothers. The kang (heated brick bed) in my brother’s room is quite big.”
"No need, I'll sleep with San Dan and Si Dan. You go back to your own room and get some rest. It's easier for us since we're all boys."
These two eggs are already quite big. How can we let Erdan sleep in the same room as his younger brother? Although he doesn't really like sleeping in the same room with others, it's not unbearable. When you're out on a mission in the apocalypse, you don't have to be so particular.
"Alright then, I won't stand on ceremony. I'm really sleepy, I'm going to sleep now. San Dan and Si Dan, please take good care of your brother Chengcheng for your sister."
"Understood, eldest sister."
Li Guizhi quickly took out the new bedding she had made for her daughter's college entrance exam and went to her son's room to tidy it up. She and her mother-in-law had made the same bedding, otherwise they wouldn't have had extra bedding at home.
Once home, Qian Xiao lowered her guard and quickly fell into a deep sleep.
Sun Kaicheng tossed and turned for a long time before finally falling asleep; this was always the case when they were in a different place.
Just as Li Guizhi was about to fall asleep, her husband suddenly got up and startled her: "What are you doing? Why are you up instead of sleeping? You scared me."
"Honey, I have a feeling that guy has ulterior motives. The more I think about it, the more suspicious it seems. Our daughter has only been away at school for a short time, how come they're already so familiar with each other?"
Li Guizhi yawned: "What nonsense are you thinking? They're still just kids. Aren't our daughter and Gouzi the same?"
Qian Jiefang: "That's not the same. Gouzi is our relative, and he grew up with our daughter. How long has this kid known our daughter?"
"Stop making a fuss. Our daughter isn't good enough for him. That guy is so handsome, and his family is much better off than ours. You're just imagining things."
"No, how can you talk about our own daughter like that? Our daughter may not be as good-looking as that boy, but she's outstanding!"
"It's like other kids aren't good enough. Are you going to sleep or not? If not, go outside."
Seeing that his wife was about to get angry, Qian Jiefang lay down with a thud: "Sleep, sleep, and I'm asleep now," and pretended to snore.
Li Guizhi rolled her eyes and closed them; this person only knows how to overthink.
Her daughter is only good at studying; her temper is something most people can handle. If she wants to be her son-in-law, she'd have to be able to take a beating. What boy could stand that? She's even afraid her daughter will never get married if she stays single.
When he heard the even breathing sounds beside him, the person who was pretending to snore opened his eyes. His wife didn't understand. He was younger than this guy when he fell for his wife, but he still took a liking to her at first sight and wanted to take her home.
Don't assume you can relax just because a child looks young. Can you treat a college student the same way you would an ordinary child? This kid seems to have a good personality and his family seems to be well-off. I just don't know what his family is like.
Lost in thought, Qian Jiefang didn't even know when he fell asleep. In his dream, he beat up that kid, and seeing the bruised and swollen boy begging for mercy, Qian Jiefang woke up laughing.
Serves you right, it'll make you miss my daughter.
