"Yes, our second sister is the smartest, she'll definitely get in!"
After Zhu Shuangyan plugged the TV in, all she saw was static; she couldn't receive a single channel.
Zhu Shuangyan said to her younger sister, "You watch TV downstairs, and I'll go up to the top floor to adjust the antenna. Let me know when the picture comes out."
"Yes, sister, be careful not to fall," the second sister said anxiously.
Zhu Shuangyan put on two pairs of sandals, climbed to the top floor, found the place where the antenna was installed, shook it first, then reconnected the wires, and then poked her head out to ask, "Second Sister, can you see it now?"
The second sister glanced at the television below, but it was still completely white; there was nothing on it. "Sister! Nothing!"
Zhu Shuangyan raised the antenna again and tested it in all directions, then asked, "Now, let's take another look?"
"No! Oh, I've got it!" The second sister's voice suddenly became excited as she shouted, "Sister, someone's on TV!"
Zhu Shuangyan placed the antenna in a spot with good signal reception and was about to leave when her second sister called out again, "Sister, the people on TV have disappeared again!"
Zhu Shuangyan raised the antenna, and then heard her second sister shout from below: "It's working! It's working again! Sister, the TV is so good!"
In order for her younger sister to be able to watch TV, Zhu Shuangyan had no choice but to hold the antenna high with both hands, and her arms soon became sore.
A-Qiang was playing cards in the yard when he looked up and saw Zhu Shuangyan standing on tiptoe, holding up an antenna. He quickly asked someone else to take her place.
Ah-Qiang walked down to the balcony and looked up: "Shuang-Yan, what are you doing?"
Zhu Shuangyan looked down at the building: "My sister wants to watch TV, but the antenna signal is bad."
"Don't stand there yet, it's dangerous up there. Let me find something, I'll be right up." Ah Qiang turned around, went to the storage room, found a long, thin bamboo pole, and took it upstairs.
When A-Qiang went up, Zhu Shuangyan was already covered in sweat. A-Qiang quickly went over and said, "Why didn't you ask me to help you? Look at you, you've gotten yourself into this state."
Zhu Shuangyan pursed her lips: "I just saw you were busy downstairs."
Actually, Zhu Shuangyan wasn't very happy today.
Because Ah Qiang spent the whole day either with his brothers or entertaining his relatives, she and her sister were the ones who helped with chores and odd jobs.
Although everyone was busy today because A-Qiang was hosting a banquet and might not have had time to think about her feelings, A-Qiang hardly paid any attention to her feelings.
Zhu Shuangyan felt that she might be being too dramatic; she wasn't like this before.
She would help with these tasks at home or when a relative was hosting a banquet.
But after all, today is her first time meeting A-Qiang's relatives as his girlfriend, which makes it different for her.
This is quite different from helping out at other relatives' homes.
After finally finishing her work, A-Qiang was playing cards and drinking with his group of good brothers, and she couldn't find a chance to go over and say a word to him.
Zhu Shuangyan lowered the antenna without saying a word, silently wiping her sweat with a handkerchief.
As soon as she let go, the second sister below shouted that there was no signal again.
Ah Qiang glanced at her, took the antenna, tied it to a bamboo pole with a cable rope, then went outside and asked his second sister downstairs, "Can I see now?"
"It's watchable now, Brother Qiang!"
Ah Qiang pulled Zhu Shuangyan's hand: "Let's go downstairs. The sun is strong these days, don't stand up here in the sun. If you need anything in the future, just call me, I'll do it. Don't try to be strong by yourself, understand?"
Zhu Shuangyan said, "Just now, Wanmei brought something over, saying it was for Brother Lei, and asked you to help take it back and personally deliver it to Brother Lei."
"Okay, I got it. Give me the things, I'll put them in the car first, so I don't forget them when I leave later," said A-Qiang.
Zhu Shuangyan went downstairs to the small hall to get her things for Aqiang. Aqiang said, "Come with me. I'm leaving tonight, and we won't see each other for a while. I want to spend more time with you."
Zhu Shuangyan remained mostly silent, simply following behind Aqiang in silence until they reached the parking area by the courtyard.
A-Qiang went around to one side of the car, opened the passenger side door, put Brother Lei's things in first, and then pulled Zhu Shuangyan over.
He asked, "Shuangyan, what's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
Zhu Shuangyan shook her head: "I'm not unhappy. You should work hard after you go back to Pingdong."
A-Qiang looked at her for a while, then went up and hugged her, lowering his head to kiss her pursed lips.
Zhu Shuangyan blushed immediately and hurriedly pushed him away, saying, "What are you doing? There are so many people here!"
Ah Qiang grinned, his strong arms encircling her, and he leaned down to kiss her twice on the lips, saying, "What are you afraid of? Let them watch if they want. What's wrong with me kissing my own girlfriend!"
