As she spoke, she kept glancing at Liu Feng.
She smiled and said, "You two siblings are so handsome! Jingya has mentioned you a lot, saying you're very good to her. Come visit Grandma's often!"
Yu Jingya's maternal grandparents have separated from their son, and only the two elderly people live in the house.
Therefore, he dotes on his granddaughter Yu Jingya.
Taking the opportunity, Liu Feng said, "Grandma, the main reason we came this time is that we hope Yu Jingya can continue her studies. You don't need to worry about the tuition. Sister Xiaoling earns her own tuition. She helps my older brother and sister-in-law take care of the arcade business during holidays or weekends, and that's enough for her tuition."
...
At noon, Yu Jingya started the fire, and her maternal grandmother cooked a pot of yellow croaker soup, vegetables and eggs, and stir-fried cured meat.
Although they are all simple rural dishes, in the countryside, having eggs and cured meat with a meal is already considered quite good.
When it was time to eat, Yu Jingya's younger brother, Yu Liang, ran back. When he saw Liu Feng and Liu Xiaoling in the room, he began to appear somewhat reserved.
Six people sat around a small table eating.
When they tasted the fish, everyone was amazed by its deliciousness.
The old man couldn't help but exclaim, "How can this fish be so delicious? Liu Feng, where did you catch this fish? The taste is completely different from anything I've had before!"
Liu Feng pretended to be confused and replied, "It was caught in the river near my house. Maybe it's a different species of fish."
After eating the fish soup, everyone felt warm and cozy, as if they were soaking in a hot spring, and everyone was full of energy.
After the meal, Yu Jingya took out the snacks and the bag of wild berries that Liu Feng had brought and shared them with everyone.
When Yu Liang saw the wild raspberries, which were as big as pigeon eggs, she exclaimed, "Wow, how can these wild raspberries be so big? I've never seen such big ones before!"
He couldn't resist trying one first and exclaimed, "So sweet! So delicious!"
Yu Jingya also took one and put it in her mouth. With a gentle bite, the sweet and sour taste filled her mouth, instantly dispelling the summer heat.
She smiled, her eyes crinkling.
In the afternoon, Liu Feng helped carry a basin of clothes and followed Yu Jingya and Liu Xiaoling to the pond by the door.
Under the shade of willows.
Yu Jingya squatted on a smooth, large rock, rolled up her sleeves to reveal her fair arms, and rinsed the clothes she had already washed that morning in the water.
Liu Xiaoling chatted and laughed with her from the side.
After Yu Liang got to know everyone, she revealed her lively and active nature as a child. Holding a long willow branch, she would occasionally whip the water's surface, creating ripples.
Liu Feng, on the other hand, looked relaxed, holding a few flat stones in his hand and showing off his "skipping stones" skill.
He bent down, gently waved his arm, and the stone leaped on the water's surface, circling several times.
This drew gasps of amazement from Yu Jingya and Liu Xiaoling.
Yu Liang also started learning from her.
The sky was getting dark.
Liu Xiaoling stayed, while Liu Feng said goodbye and left.
Before parting.
Liu Feng said softly, "Sister Jingya, here's some money. Keep it for now. Go to town with Sister Xiaoling tomorrow. My sister-in-law has already prepared accommodations for you. Tell your grandma and the others that you're doing part-time work. As for my brother's arcade, you can go there to play whenever you're free."
"Um!"
Yu Jing bowed her head in response. When she looked up at Liu Feng again, that familiar figure had already walked away and disappeared into the blurry night.
"Jingya, what are you looking at? My fourth brother has already gone far away!"
Liu Xiaoling's teasing voice rang out.
Upon hearing this, Yu Jingya's cheeks flushed slightly, like the last rays of sunset on the horizon.
Beautiful and shy.
