Just like in her previous life, Lu Chuqing was fine except for feeling a little tired.
Another somewhat distressing aspect is that both of her first periods were very heavy and lasted a long time.
It's especially hot here; you can feel the heat even just standing still, let alone the added stuffiness.
Xi Jun knew about this, and would always remember to order hot soup for her at meals, urging her to drink more. She also lectured Xi Qingxu, telling him to carry everything for her, and the young man took good care of her.
Knowing she was bored, we traveled by car for the next few days, visited all the tourist attractions, bought a lot of local specialties as gifts, and finally the family took a plane back to the provincial capital.
They were originally supposed to stay for ten days, but because Lu Chuqing wasn't very enthusiastic, they came back two days early.
After cleaning the house, the family ate a hot meal of pork tripe and chicken soup, then packed their things and set off back to Yangcheng.
Lu Linqi's tutoring center was also on holiday, and he managed to catch a ride.
Upon seeing Lu Chuqing and Xi Qingxu, he immediately remarked, "Wow, you've both gotten so tanned!"
This person truly takes care of his sister, but he also has a sharp tongue.
Lu Chuqing wasn't going to let him get away with it, and calmly retorted, "Second brother, haven't you noticed that your hairline has receded again?"
Lu Linqi once said that Lu Chuqing was stupid, and then she said that people who are good at math will go bald in the future because her math teacher was bald.
At that time, Lu Chuqing didn't want to do her math homework, and Lu Linqi deliberately used his perfect score in math to provoke her, so she said that.
Those words really provoked Lu Linqi, and afterwards he began to pay attention to taking care of his hair.
These words really provoked the boy, who immediately covered his hair and yelled, "What nonsense are you talking about? I went to get my hair checked the other day and they said my hair was growing well!"
"Then why are you so nervous?" Lu Chuqing asked back with amusement, which annoyed the boy.
"You little brat, do you want to get a beating again?"
As he spoke, Lu Linqi reached out to flick the girl's forehead, but Lu Chuqing leaned back to dodge, saying, "I'm in middle school now, don't call me little one..."
The pain didn't come; it was stopped by a hand with long, slender joints.
"Don't do that, it will hurt her."
The boy's soft, low voice rang out, startling the two who were joking around.
Lu Linqi angrily withdrew his hand, saying in an unfriendly tone, "Do you think I wouldn't know if she's in pain? Are you kidding me and can't tell?"
"You've helped her in some way," Lu Chuqing said to Xi Qingxu. "You don't need to pay attention to him. He's always been a smart aleck."
"You've got some nerve, daring to speak ill of your brother like that." Lu Linqi glared at her with a sour expression.
They've started taking sides with others; what a heartless little thing.
Lu Chuqing remained calm and fearless, saying, "What do you mean by saying I'm talking badly about you? I'm just telling the truth."
"Well, you really are a heartless little thing."
"..."
The two started bickering again, their back-and-forth banter creating quite a lively scene.
Xi Qingxu looked at the commotion not far away and knew that it was something he could never do, no matter what.
Since it was Xi Jun and Xi Qingxu's first time visiting the Lu family's hometown, especially Xi Qingxu, whom they had never met before, the elders were all pleasantly surprised when they arrived at the Lu family.
Not only is he good-looking, but he's also tall. When he takes off his down jacket, his broad shoulders and narrow waist are clearly visible through his sweater. In his grandparents' words, he has a strong physique and looks like a capable and handsome young man.
He would help with any chores around the house.
It was also because of Xi Jun and his arrival that Lu Yongkang specially asked someone to buy a pig. The family raised cattle, sheep and poultry, but not pigs, and the pig they bought weighed more than 300 jin (150 kg).
With the help of both uncles, Xi Jun, and the two young men, Lu Linqi and Xi Qingxu, killing the pig still took quite a bit of effort.
Lu Chuqing watched the commotion with her two little brothers. When she saw her proud second brother, who had always been aloof, being kicked to the ground by a pig's hoof, and seeing the hoof prints on his body that looked like either poop or mud, his arrogant face turned pale and even distorted. She couldn't help but burst into laughter.
This prompted Lu Linqi to point at her, who was holding up her phone, recording a video while laughing wildly, and yell, "Lu Chuqing, you dare to take pictures, you're finished!" The only response he received was the girl's increasingly unrestrained laughter.
If it weren't for having to hold the pig down, Lu Linqi would probably have come over and punished her long ago.
Another source of humor is Xi Qingxu.
Although the boy had done many part-time jobs, this was his first time slaughtering a pig.
As he busied himself with the elders, he, who had never experienced such a scene before, showed obvious panic and helplessness for the first time. His handsome brows furrowed unconsciously, and his face remained expressionless.
There's a sense of contrast between knowing he has no expression on his face and being able to see the helplessness beneath it.
In particular, when the boy was asked to collect the pig's blood in a basin, the pig, which had been lying flat, suddenly had a sudden burst of energy before dying, and the blood splattered all over the boy's face.
At that moment, Xi Qingxu was clearly dumbfounded. Looking at the red blood dripping from his face onto his sweater, he was completely bewildered, displaying the three consecutive questions of "Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?"
Lu Chuqing, who was recording the whole thing, was so amused that her face was stiff from smiling. How come she never noticed that Xi Qingxu could be so adorable before!
Cutting the pork didn't require so many people's help, and Lu Linqi finally had time to come and settle accounts with her.
Of course, her second brother was just teasing her on purpose. It's just an ugly photo. If it makes his sister happy, he'll keep it!
He was afraid she would make him look less handsome than Xi Qingxu in the photos, so when he saw Xi Qingxu's face covered in blood from being slapped, the boy laughed heartlessly.
He put his hand on the other person's shoulder, and said with a gleeful smile, "Brother, wishing you a great start to the new year!"
