There were several buttons on the pager. Shao Ying pressed them twice at random and the pager started beeping.

Shao Ying tried frantically to turn off the sound, but it didn't work after pressing the button for a long time. Instead, it called Shao Ya out from the bathroom.

"Didn't I tell you not to rummage through my things?"

Shao Ya snatched the pager from her hand and complained while turning off the sound.

Shao Ying was not angry, she just looked at her with envy, "Second sister, who bought you a pager?"

“A friend gave it to me.”

Shao Ya put the pager into the drawer of the dressing table, and then took out an unopened lipstick from the drawer and handed it to her.

"This is for you. I bought it today while shopping. Your lips are prone to chapped skin. Apply this on them for two days and they will be fine."

Shao Ying was holding the lipstick, but her mind was still on the pager.

"Second sister, which friend of yours is willing to give you such an expensive gift?"

"You don't know him."

"If you tell me, I won't recognize you anymore."

Shao Ya ignored her and just reminded her not to touch her things before going back to the bathroom.

Shao Ying pursed her lips, took off the lipstick in her hand, picked up the mirror on the dressing table to try it on, and then began to think about the friend Shao Ya mentioned.

"Second sister, are you in love?"

As soon as Shao Ya finished her shower and came out of the bathroom, Shao Ying immediately ran up to her and excitedly told her guess.

"no."

Shao Ying naturally didn't believe it, "Then dare you tell me which friend gave you the pager?"

Shao Ya was a little unhappy, "I told you that you don't know him, why are you asking so many questions?"

"Humph, it must be a gift from your boyfriend! You're afraid that Third Aunt will find out, so you don't dare to tell her. Don't worry, I won't tell Third Aunt."

Shao Ya was annoyed by Shao Ying's pestering, so she changed the subject and asked, "Why are you in a bad mood today?"

Shao Ying's attention was diverted. "It's still Shao Mo. She just roasted a suckling pig. What's so great about it? She even asked people to send it to her everywhere. She thought everyone was a country bumpkin like her who had never eaten pork!"

"Have you eaten yet?" Shao Ya asked her while wiping her hair with a towel.

Shao Ying's neck stiffened. "Of course I didn't eat it. I would rather starve to death than eat her food!"

At this moment, a servant came from outside the door asking, "Second Miss, the roast suckling pork is ready. Should we send it to your study, or eat it in the restaurant?"

“Just put it in the restaurant.”

As soon as the servant left, Shao Ying immediately shouted, "Second sister, you actually want to eat the roast suckling pork she sent?"

Shao Ya looked at her strangely, "Why shouldn't I eat? I don't have any conflicts with my elder sister. Don't worry, I won't force you to eat if you don't want to."

Arriving at the restaurant, Shao Ying gritted her teeth in hatred as she looked at the golden, shiny roast suckling pork cut into small pieces on the table.

"It looks so greasy, I don't know what's so delicious about it!"

"I want to eat it because I don't know whether it tastes good or not. Once you have eaten it, you will know whether it tastes good or not."

Shao Ying snorted coldly with her nose turned up.

Shao Ya picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of roast suckling pig skin.

The reheated pork skin is still very crispy. Although it can't be compared with freshly baked ones, it's still pretty good.

After eating the pig skin, Shao Ya drank a mouthful of white porridge to reduce the greasiness, then picked up a piece of roast pork with fat and lean meat, dipped it in five-spice pepper salt, and ate it with chopped green onions and lettuce leaves.

Shao Ying had not eaten enough for dinner, and being young, her digestion was strong, so she was already hungry. When she saw Shao Ya eating the roast suckling pork slowly, her saliva kept oozing out.

How could Shao Ya not see that she was greedy, so she turned around and asked the servant to bring another set of bowls and chopsticks.

"I don't want to eat!" Shao Ying refused without thinking.

Shao Ya looked at her and said, "If you don't want roast suckling pork, you can eat something else."

In addition to roast suckling pork, there was white porridge and two home-cooked side dishes on the table.

Hearing this, Shao Ying stopped being stubborn and just muttered strangely, "Second sister, didn't you have dinner?"

"I ate, but I'm not full. I have to study later, and I can't concentrate on an empty stomach."

"It's still a long way to go before the college entrance examination. There's no need for you to study so hard now, right?"

Shao Ya said to her while eating: "The college entrance examination is different from your usual tests. The college entrance examination has more knowledge points and a wider range. If you do one more question now, you may be able to get two more points in the college entrance examination. These two points are enough for you to squeeze out thousands of people."

“Is it that exaggerated?”

"What I said is not exaggeration, but the truth."

Shao Ying was a little unconvinced. "Even if I don't pass the exam, at most I can give some money or ask my uncle to help me. You are not afraid that I can't go to the school you want to go to."

Shao Ya showed her disapproval, "If everyone thought like you, the Shao family would have been finished long ago."

Shao Ying was still unconvinced, "We are girls, and it is not our turn to inherit the family property. What's the point of studying well?"

"Good knowledge is a very important aspect of a woman's appearance. Whether you want to be successful in career, marriage, or social life, knowledge is a very important factor.

Girls like us, if we don’t have any ability, will eventually become tools of the family.”

Shao Ying opened her mouth, but could not utter a word to refute.

After the servants brought clean dishes and chopsticks, Shao Ying began to eat in silence.

But she only ate other dishes and avoided roast suckling pork.

When Shao Ya saw this, she personally picked up a piece of crispy roast suckling pork and put it in her bowl.

"I said I don't want to eat..."

"Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. If you want to defeat your enemy, you must have a thorough understanding of her. Don't you always think that the suckling pork roasted by my elder sister can't be delicious? How can you be sure whether it is delicious if you don't taste it yourself?"

Shao Ya's words left Shao Ying with no room for rebuttal. After hesitating for a while, she picked up the roast suckling pork and slowly put it into her mouth.

The first thing you taste is the unique crispiness of the roast suckling pig skin, followed by the tender and juicy pork without any fishy smell, mixed with the flavor of five-spice and sauce. The unique and rich taste satisfies your taste buds greatly.

After eating one piece, Shao Ying couldn't help but pick up another piece of crispy pork skin.

“Crack.”

When I took a bite, it was indeed as crispy as rice crust, but even crispier and more delicious than rice crust.

After eating the roast suckling pig skin that was as fragrant as rice crust, Shao Ying was about to pick up a piece of pork ribs to chew. As soon as her chopsticks reached the plate, she heard Shao Ya across from her ask her, "Is it delicious?"

Meeting Shao Ya's smiling eyes, Shao Ying's face flushed, "I'm doing this to understand the enemy!"

Seeing that she was being stubborn, Shao Ya didn't bother to expose her and directly pushed the whole plate of roast suckling pork over to her.

"Then you can learn about it slowly. Go back and have a rest after dinner. I'm going to study in the study."

"Second sister, you don't want to eat anymore?"

"I'm done."

After Shao Ya left, Shao Ying had no more scruples and ate almost half of the plate of roast suckling pig.
