The jeep drove into the compound and stopped in front of the Ruan family's two-story building.
Ruan Xi, Ruan Hongjun and several others opened the car door and got out one after another. After getting out, they took their luggage out of the trunk and said hello to the driver, who then drove away.
After watching the jeep go away, Ruan Xi and the others turned around with their luggage bags and suddenly saw Ruan Hongbing open the door and run out. He ran directly to Ye Fan and Ruan Hongjun and shouted: "Third Brother and Fifth Brother, you are finally back!"
These days since his two brothers left, there’s no one at home to play with him!
Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie don't have much contact with Ruan Hongbing, so Ruan Hongbing is naturally not close to them. After greeting Ye Fan and Ruan Hongbing, he looked at Ruan Xi, Ruan Jie, and Ruan Qiuyue and called out, "Second sister, cousin, and sixth sister, you're back."
Feng Xiuying came out after Ruan Hongbing and came straight to see if Ruan Hongjun and Ye Fan had suffered. After seeing them, she asked, "Why did you take so long to come back? How many days did you spend there? Are you used to living there?"
Ruan Hongjun and Ye Fan took their luggage and went into the house. Ye Fan said, "Everything is fine."
Feng Xiuying followed them and asked, "You must be tired after all these days of hard work, right?"
Ruan Hongjun said: "Not tired at all! I can still carry the load for ten kilometers!"
…
Ruan Xi, Ruan Jie and Ruan Qiuyue naturally did not need Feng Xiuying to greet them. The three of them followed her into the house and went straight upstairs. After going upstairs and putting down their luggage, the three of them packed some clean clothes, took their bath tickets and went out.
I went to the bathhouse and took a comfortable bath with hot water. When I came back, it was already dark.
Feng Xiuying prepared dinner, and soon after Ruan Changfu arrived home, and the family was finally together.
Ruan Changfu sat at the dinner table holding chopsticks and said, "When I was at home, I used to dislike you guys for being noisy and noisy. Now that five of you have left, it's suddenly so quiet and cold. I'm really not used to it. The New Year is so boring."
Ruan Hongjun grinned, "Dad, you're thinking about me, right?"
Ruan Changfu glared at him and said, "Hmm, you are the noisiest one in the family!"
Although they have been in the city for more than half a year, Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie have never really integrated into this family. Every time they eat, Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie will not speak unless it is necessary.
Ruan Xi simply didn't want to talk. There was nothing to gossip about with them, and there was no relationship to cultivate. Ruan Jie, on the other hand, had always been cautious and restrained. After all, she was not Ruan Changfu and Feng Xiuying's biological daughter, and she was truly living under someone else's roof.
With Ruan Hongjun around, it wouldn't seem like there was anything wrong if Ruan Xi, Ruan Jie, and Ruan Qiuyue didn't say anything. It is no exaggeration to say that Ruan Hongjun alone is enough to deal with ten Ruan Changfu, and he would not be able to finish talking even if he had ten days and ten nights to say everything.
While eating, he told Ruan Changfu all about his experiences in the countryside. Ruan Changfu was so happy to hear him that he also talked about his childhood while listening. It was rare for him and Ruan Hongjun to have a common topic.
Everyone knows how life is in the countryside. Feng Xiuying didn't sound happy, so there was no expression on her face and she just ate. Ye Qiuwen and Ruan Qiuyang didn't like to hear it either, but they would not spoil Ruan Changfu's fun.
Ruan Changfu and Ruan Hongjun chatted for a while and then stopped talking, "This winter vacation has been a great time for you to have fun. School will start in a few days, so hurry up and concentrate on your studies."
When he heard about going to school, Ruan Hongjun instantly became listless and could no longer muster any energy.
Ruan Changfu then said to Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie, "Everything about your schooling has been arranged. You will go to school together with the first-year students on the first day of school. If you are lucky, you might be in the same class with Qiu Yang."
"Who wants to be in the same class with them?!" Ruan Qiuyang directly expressed the thoughts of Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie.
When Ruan Changfu heard this, her face suddenly darkened. Ruan Qiuyang's aura was instantly suppressed. She looked timid unconsciously. She swallowed, lowered her head to eat, and dared not speak again.
There was no one to talk to at home, so after dinner she went to find Su Mengmeng and said to her, "I don't want to be in the same class with them. If they knew that one is my biological sister and the other is my cousin, how would I save face?"
Su Mengmeng thought for a moment and said, "Ruan Xi is so beautiful, it's not that embarrassing, right?"
Ruan Qiuyang glared at Su Mengmeng, "What kind of vision do you have? How is she beautiful? I can only see that she is unsophisticated. Even her hair is unsophisticated. She exudes unsophistication from the bones."
Su Mengmeng looked at her and said, "She's not rustic. She may have looked a little bit rustic before when her skin wasn't white, but now that her skin is white, she looks very good. You can tell that Ruan Jie is from the countryside, but you can't tell that Ruan Xi is from the countryside. Her speaking temperament is different. I think she looks very good even if she wears some random clothes."
Ruan Qiuyang glared angrily.
Su Mengmeng blinked and said after a moment: "Well, she is also very unsophisticated."
Ruan Qiuyang was satisfied now, and continued, "And she's already seventeen years old! She's only in the first grade of junior high school at the age of seventeen, and she's in the same grade as me. If she tells others about this, she's not afraid of being laughed at, but I'm afraid too, okay?"
Su Mengmeng thought for a while and said, "Then you should just pretend that you don't know them at school."
Ruan Qiuyang said: "Then I will definitely pretend that I don't know them. I won't recognize them even if we are in the same class."
Su Mengmeng smiled and said, "Don't worry, they won't recognize you. They don't seem to like you either."
Ruan Qiuyang: “…”
Oh my god! Whose friend are you anyway?
It was indeed tiring after going to the countryside. Ruan Xi, Ruan Jie and Ruan Qiuyue stayed at home for the next few days and concentrated on adjusting their state of mind, calming down and getting ready to go to school.
Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie will officially start school this year, so they can no longer choose not to go to school as they did before. Ruan Xi plans to go to school and study with the teacher to consolidate the knowledge he has learned, while continuing to learn new knowledge in his spare time.
The night before school officially started, she and Ruan Jie were packing their things in the room.
In fact, there was nothing to pack, just take out the things that Ruan Changfu had given them before - a brand new military satchel with a tin pencil case inside, and the stationery in the pencil case was also of very good quality.
After packing their schoolbags, Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie also prepared clothes to wear the next day.
Because it is the first day of school, the day when they walk out of the mountains and into the campus, Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie plan to have some sense of ceremony to make this day a memorable day.
After discussion, they decided to wear the new military uniforms that Ruan Changfu brought back for them last year. Wearing a military uniform and a red scarf made of wool they bought themselves was the most fashionable and spirited outfit of that era.
After getting everything ready, the two of them turned on the lights and lay down to sleep.
Although she had been to the school before, Ruan Jie still felt nervous because it was not formal. She placed her hand on her chest, feeling her heartbeat, and said to Ruan Xi, "It still feels like a dream."
Ruan Xi reached out and pinched her: "If it hurts, then you are not dreaming."
Ruan Jie also laughed and felt a lot more relaxed.
The two fell asleep side by side, and when they woke up the next day, they put on their cotton coats and autumn pants and went to wash up. After washing up, she returned to the room, put on some cold cream, put on her military uniform over her cotton-padded jacket and autumn trousers, and then carefully braided her hair in front of the mirror.
The others washed up and went to the restaurant to eat first.
Ruan Changfu ate two bites of the bun and asked Ruan Qiuyue: "Why haven't Xiaoxi and Xiaojie come down yet?"
Then, just as he finished speaking, he heard Ruan Hongjun yelling: "Ouch~Ouch~"
Not only did he shout, he also pointed outside the restaurant.
The others looked in the direction of his finger and were stunned for a moment.
Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie walked into the restaurant looking extremely dazzling, wearing military uniforms, bright red scarves, and carrying brand new school bags. Especially Ruan Xi, whose face was wrapped in a red scarf, so white that it seemed to be glowing.
In just this moment, Ruan Qiuyang's eyes were so red that they seemed to be bleeding!
A trace of gloom flashed across Ye Qiuwen's face, but she quickly withdrew her gaze and lowered her head to eat.
Ruan Hongbing sat between Ruan Changfu and Feng Xiuying, and suddenly said, "Wow, my second sister is so beautiful."
Ruan Xi sat down and smiled at him, "Thank you."
Feng Xiuying didn't like it very much, thinking it was too ostentatious. This outfit was suitable for Ye Qiuwen, but it was a waste on Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie, but she didn't say anything.
Ruan Hongjun was already so excited that he spat, "Sister, you look so beautiful today!"
Ruan Xi still smiled and said to Ruan Hongjun, "Thank you."
Ruan Changfu's mood also brightened, and he continued, "Clothes make the man, and you should have dressed up a little more. Look at you, after you dress up like this, you are the most energetic and beautiful among the girls in our family."
Ye Qiuwen lowered her head, and the expression on her face became even drier.
Ruan Qiuyang glanced at Ruan Xi from the side, his eyes red with jealousy.
She wanted to say that Ruan Xi was not pretty, but she really couldn't say it. When Ruan Xi wore ordinary clothes before, people were used to it and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She even forced herself to label Ruan Xi as "rustic".
But Ruan Xi looked stunning in this military uniform, so stunning that she couldn't find any fault with it at all!
After admitting in her heart that Ruan Xi was really beautiful, she subconsciously observed Ruan Xi's face and temperament again carefully. After the observation, she had to admit that what Su Mengmeng had always said in front of her was indeed right!
She lowered her head and took a bite of the bun, feeling so choked up that she could hardly breathe.
The country bumpkin Ba whom she had always looked down upon unexpectedly turned into a beautiful white swan without her noticing!
Five minutes later, she and Su Mengmeng followed Ruan Xi, Ruan Jie and Ruan Qiuyue to school.
Su Mengmeng said with twinkling eyes: "How is it? Do you believe my judgment now? Is she prettier than your elder sister?"
Ruan Qiuyang was so angry that he gasped for breath. After a long while, he said, "What's the use of being pretty? Can others compare with my eldest sister? She is just the president. She inherited all the good qualities of my father and mother. What kind of ability is that!"
Su Mengmeng opened her eyes and said, "Isn't this considered a skill? I like her eyes the most. They are the most lively eyes I have ever seen. They seem to be able to speak. If I could have a pair of eyes like that, I would not want to close them when I sleep."
Ruan Qiuyang forced himself to be disdainful, "Is it that exaggerated?"
Su Mengmeng said: "Yes! Have you ever taken a good look at her?"
Ruan Qiuyang grumbled, "I... am too lazy to look at her..."
You look down on her anyway, so why bother to visit her?
The two followed Ruan Xi to school while talking. Ruan Qiuyue went to the elementary school, while Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie turned around and went to the junior and senior high school departments across the street. Now Ruan Qiuyang is also in the first grade of junior high school, so naturally he followed others to cross the road.
Then, just as they arrived at the school gate, Ruan Qiuyang once again realized how beautiful Ruan Xi was from the reactions of passers-by. Because any student passing by would basically turn around to look at Ruan Xi twice, and then whisper a few words.
This phenomenon becomes even more obvious once you enter the school gate.
It’s not that she hasn’t been in the spotlight with Ye Qiuwen, but Ye Qiuwen has never caused such a sensation.
Ruan Qiuyang held his breath and walked to the bulletin board with Su Mengmeng. He no longer cared about Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie, but looked for his name on the bulletin board. Only after finding your name can you know your class and go to the classroom.
Su Mengmeng found it faster than she did. After a moment, she said, "That's great. We are still in the same class."
Their names are next to each other and they are both in Class 3 of the first grade.
Ruan Qiuyang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he and Su Mengmeng were in the same class. However, before she could completely relax, she glanced around and suddenly saw Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie's names at the end of the class list!
Her eyes rolled back and she was about to faint!
Help! Ruan Xi is her nemesis, she doesn’t want to be in the same class with her!
Su Mengmeng held her and patted her chest twice, "Don't get excited, they will definitely treat you as air."
Ruan Qiuyang: “…”
Otherwise she'd just faint!
Although Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie didn't want to be in the same class with Ruan Qiuyang, they didn't mind being assigned to the same class. After finding their class, they carried their schoolbags and went to find the classroom. They had attended a class for a day before, so they were familiar with the school environment and quickly found the classroom of Class 3, Grade 1.
After finding the classroom, Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie went in with their schoolbags and sat down in the two seats by the window in the last row.
The other students in the classroom all turned around to look at them, and after one look they would look again.
Ruan Xi has become accustomed to walking all the way in from the school gate.
Ruan Jie felt embarrassed and kept her head down. Although she knew that these people were not looking at her.
The classroom was a little quiet, so Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie didn't say anything.
Ruan Xi lowered her head to take out stationery from her schoolbag. Just as she took out the pencil case and put it on the desk, she raised her eyes and suddenly saw that five boys had appeared on the two desks in the front row.
Five boys wearing military uniforms of different colors squeezed together on two desks and looked at her.
When Ruan Xi's eyes met, the boy with the longest legs asked, "Why haven't I seen you before?"
