Xia Youyou was finally woken up by the alarm clock. She stretched in bed, sat up and looked at the curling smoke rising from the village in the distance. She seemed to be able to smell the fragrance of people's food.
Remembering her appointment with Cao An last night, she got up, packed up the tent, washed up, and started to make a fire to cook. She had only taken a bite of the goose egg from last night, and now she missed it a little. She took out the tomatoes and goose eggs, cracked the eggs into a bowl, and beat them with chopsticks, then cut the tomatoes. She quickly fried the scrambled eggs with tomatoes and took them out of the pan. The rice would have to wait a while, so she took out the mat and started skipping rope on it. It was better than the previous two days, and she could jump 200 times. Satisfied!
After finishing her meal, she packed up and headed to the city. She walked through the iron gate with familiarity, arrived at yesterday's office, and knocked on the door.
The door of the office next door was opened, and it was the young police officer from yesterday.
"Comrade, are you looking for Captain Cao?"
Xia Youyou nodded. "He's not here?"
"No, it's Captain Cao who is late for once!" He laughed out loud after saying that. He was new here and couldn't help but tease others when they heard them talking about Captain Cao.
At this time, footsteps were heard at the door. The two looked over and said, "Cao Cao, here I am!" It must be Cao An, right?
Cao An's eyes lit up when he saw Xia Youyou. After the massage last night, his old injuries didn't hurt much anymore. And then there was that magical light screen bracelet. His mind was full of that magical thing, and he couldn't sleep all night. He didn't fall asleep until morning, when he couldn't hold it in any longer. It was his mother who woke him up just now.
"Come, follow me into the office!" He excitedly pushed Xia Youyou's shoulder, opened the door and entered his office.
Xia Youyou didn't understand his excitement. Isn't it just a little bit of high technology? There are even more amazing things he hasn't seen yet!
"Come and sit down. I went home last night and told my mom about your life story." He glanced outside the door to make sure no one was around. "Liu Daya's life story. My mom said that since you're going to register your household, why not register it with my family?"
Xia Youyou's eyes widened as she looked up at him. What did he mean? Was it what she understood? Registering with his family?
"I'm still young!" She took a step back, away from him. This big guy was a bit scary!
Cao An was a little confused when she said these three words, "Registering a household registration doesn't matter whether it's young or old."
"I'm not planning to get married yet!" She shook her head firmly and refused!
Now it was Cao An's turn to stare wide-eyed, realizing what was happening. "What are you talking about? My mom means to adopt you as her daughter!" He put his hands on his hips and glared down at her. "I'm not planning on marrying you yet!" If it weren't for the fact that she was his future sister, he really wanted to throw her out!
Xia Youyou shut up and smiled awkwardly, "Haha, so that's how it is. Sorry, sorry, I misunderstood!" This is embarrassing! Who told him not to make it clear? Nowadays, registering for household registration means getting married, right?
Cao An withdrew his hands from his hips, turned around, sat down at his desk, took out his materials, and began to write a report. "Since you agree, then it's settled. From now on, tell everyone that you are my distant cousin's daughter. Because your family can't afford to support you, you came to us and you will be my mother's daughter from now on."
Xia Youyou nodded. She also liked her aunt very much. Thinking of the eggs she fried last night, she hoped to eat them again tonight.
The household registration was quickly completed, and Cao An took her to apply for an ID card. After the matter was completed, he told her not to let it slip and to insist that she was the daughter of a distant cousin.
She nodded repeatedly, looking at the thin piece of paper in her hand. It had her name written on it. Judging from her age, it was 1960, and she filled in her future birthday. In this era, she was no longer Liu Daya, but Xia Youyou!
Her lips curled up, her nose felt sore, and tears welled up in her eyes. She looked up at the tall and strong man beside her. He would be her brother from now on!
Cao An looked at her aggrieved expression, covered her face with his palm, which was bigger than her head, and wiped it carelessly, "Don't cry!"
Xia Youyou held back her tears. Sure enough, brothers were still annoying! Her former classmates often complained to her about being bullied by their brothers every day. Back then, she used to envy them. She was the only one in the base, and her parents were away from home all year round. Sometimes she wanted a brother or sister to accompany her.
She gritted her teeth, brushed away his big hand, turned her head and ignored him.
Cao An smiled, touched her head, and ruffled her hair again. "I'll take you back to your mother!" He dodged her hand and said, "But can you call me 'brother' now?"
"You wish!" Who wants such a fierce brother? Take it, take it!
His shoulders shook with laughter, and he used his hands to tidy up her dry and yellow hair. "Okay, okay, you can scream when you want. Now, we have to go see our mother!"
Xia Youyou sat on the back of his bicycle, pinching the clothes on his waist with her fingers.
"Sister, I'll take you home!"
Tears welled up in Xia Youyou's eyes, blurring her vision. She would have a family in the future! She would no longer be a stranger to this era, and she would no longer consider herself an outsider.
Cao An rode his bicycle so fast that Xia Youyou could hardly catch him.
"Slow down, I'm scared!"
"What are you afraid of? Can I really throw you down?"
"Who knows? I've never sat on it!"
Cao An snorted, "Don't worry, hold on tight, I will never drop you!" His mother would kill him if he hurt the sister he had finally recognized.
Xia Youyou had no choice but to give up grabbing his clothes and grab the belt around his waist instead. The police uniform happened to have a belt, and she felt a little safer holding on to it.
Soon they were in the alley. Xia Youyou was in a state of panic, not knowing what to say next. Should she just call her "Mom"? What if she couldn't bring herself to say it?
Before she could think about it, Cao An had already shouted across the alley, "Mom! My sister is back!"
She was so frightened by Cao An's sudden loud voice that she almost lost her grip. She pinched his waist, but it didn't work because it was all hard muscle! She closed her eyes and endured it, then used her fingernails to pinch the skin on his waist through his clothes.
"Hiss! You damn girl, you're going to kill me!" Cao An kicked the ground with his feet, "Get off the car!" He put his hands on her waist and rubbed the place where she was pinched.
Xia Youyou gave him a smug look and greeted Liu Hui who opened the door. "Auntie!"
Liu Hui smiled and held her hand, "Oh, my girl, call me mom from now on!"
Maybe he was too happy, and he blurted out "Mom" without any hesitation or awkwardness.
"Hey!" Liu Hui was so happy, "Come on, come on, come inside, I just cleaned up your room, come and see if you like it!"
Xia Youyou was dragged to the main hall, with Cao An following behind, chattering non-stop. "Hey, you haven't even called me brother yet, and you've already called me mom!"
"Please maintain your cool personality, okay?" He doesn't look as fierce as he did when we first met. He looks like a total clown!
Cao An stuck out his back teeth, pretending to be fierce, and said to her in a hoarse voice, "Come on, call me brother!"
"A cool person wouldn't chase after someone and ask them to call him brother!"
Cao An shut up after hearing what she said and followed the mother and daughter silently.
