Chapter 175 Fate is truly wondrous.
Song Yanzhe held Song Yanshen's hand the whole time. Although the two brothers were not related by blood, they got along surprisingly well. They had slept together for so many days, and their relationship was just like that of real brothers.
He looked at Song Yanshen with teary eyes and said, "Brother! I have to go! We won't see each other again until winter break... You have to come to Beijing with your second uncle and aunt then! I'll treat you to all the good food and drinks!"
Song Yanshen's eyes were also red, and he nodded heavily at Song Yanzhe.
Song Yanzhe then looked at Zhou Mingli and Zhong Xiaoxiao: "Mingli and Xiaoxiao, you should come too... Bring Yuanyuan with you, and our family will reunite in Beijing!"
Zhong Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sob.
Zhou Mingli's eyes welled up with tears: "Yes, we will definitely go."
Song Yanzhe looked at Zhang Chunxue again, and tears welled up in his eyes: "Second Aunt..."
He reached out to hug Zhang Chunxue.
Although everyone says his mother is gentle, only he knows how strict she is.
In his opinion, his second aunt was the truly gentle one.
However, before his hand could even touch Zhang Chunxue, Song Xingzhi simply pulled him aside.
"You're a grown man now, not a little kid like Xiao Shen!" Song Xingzhi snorted coldly. "Don't touch my Chunxue!"
Song Yanzhe: "???"
Song Yanzhe: "..."
Song Yanzhe spat and said, "Second Uncle, you've really gone too far!"
Song Xingzhi flicked him on the forehead: "Get in the car quickly! Don't let it drive away!"
Song Yanzhe's eyes darted around for a moment: "Wouldn't that be perfect..."
Enraged, Song Xingzhi grabbed his luggage with one hand and him with the other, shoving him into the car.
After getting into the car, Song Yanzhe leaned against the window and said, "Second Aunt! Sister Mingli! Xiaoxiao! And Xiaoshen! You must come to Beijing during your winter vacation! I'll miss you!"
He glanced at Song Xingzhi again: "As for Second Uncle... it doesn't matter whether you come back or not."
Song Xingzhi rolled his eyes.
Fate can be quite mysterious. In Zhang Chunxue's family, apart from Song Xingzhi, no one else was related to him by blood. Yet, Song Yanzhe got along very well with all of them.
Even Zhong Yuanyuan would giggle every time Song Yanzhe teased her.
The train whistle sounded, and the green train began to chug along.
Song Yanzhe finally couldn't hold back and started sobbing, "I'll miss you all... Waaah... Xiao Shen..."
Song Yanshen pouted and kept wiping away tears with the back of his hand.
Zhong Xiaoxiao was also sobbing.
Although the two siblings always bicker, they really do the same thing together when it comes to doing bad things; they're quite like-minded.
Zhang Chunxue was sometimes amazed that Zhong Xiaoxiao, who seemed so well-behaved on the surface, actually had a lot of bad intentions.
It's possible that Zhong Xiaoxiao grew up in a sexist environment, suppressed and repressed, and then married at this age, only to be killed by domestic violence later on...
Her true nature was never revealed in her past life.
Fortunately, in this life, she can finally be herself.
Once the train had completely disappeared from sight, Zhang Chunxue took her son's hand in one hand and her daughter's hand in the other, saying, "Let's go home!"
Zhou Mingli then realized that she also had two tears on her face. Feeling a little embarrassed, she quickly and furtively wiped them away when no one noticed her.
Zhong Xiaoxiao sniffed: "Yeah! Let's go home!"
When the group returned home, even though only one person was missing, it felt much quieter.
The usually energetic and lively boy left, and the atmosphere became somewhat heavy.
Zhang Chunxue clapped her hands: "Alright, let's get back to work! I'll have Xingzhi look for some omnidirectional wheels these next couple of days, and I'll find a carpenter to order a small cart for Mingli. Then Mingli can push the cart directly to the grain and oil station area to sell her produce!"
Once the conversation turned to serious matters, everyone's sorrow at parting lessened considerably.
The whole family went into the kitchen again and started getting busy.
A few days later, Zhong Xiaoxiao was also going to start school.
The whole family went out together, carrying large and small bags of luggage, to take Zhong Xiaoxiao to register for her new school.
The middle school in the county is a combined junior and senior high school. Students can choose whether or not to live on campus during junior high, but living on campus is mandatory during senior high.
Song Xingzhi had met with the principal a few days earlier, and Zhong Xiaoxiao's middle school entrance exam results were excellent, so the registration went smoothly. The dormitory assigned to Zhong Xiaoxiao was also the best one among the new students.
The group moved Zhong Xiaoxiao's things into the dormitory, while Song Yanshen held Zhong Yuanyuan and waited outside the door. Zhang Chunxue and Song Xingzhi helped make the bed, and Zhou Mingli and Zhong Xiaoxiao put away various things.
It was clearly a family outing, which surprised the others in the dormitory.
Many of the girls, who came with only one parent, looked at them curiously.
"These days, there really are people who cherish their daughters like this!" a girl's mother muttered quietly.
Those who can afford to send their daughters to high school either come from well-off families, have daughters with excellent grades, or genuinely love their daughters.
Zhang Chunxue's family clearly falls into the third category.
Zhang Chunxue made the bed, turned around and glanced at the other people in the dormitory.
This is an eight-person dormitory, not very spacious. Besides their family, there are four other families living there.
Except for one family where both parents came, the other three families only sent their mothers.
Zhang Chunxue smiled brightly, took out a handful of White Rabbit milk candies from her pocket, and stuffed two into the hands of each of the other four girls.
"Hello, this is my daughter, Zhong Xiaoxiao. She will be your classmate from now on, so I hope you can get along well and take care of each other."
The girls were a little embarrassed at first, but under Zhang Chunxue's insistence, they accepted the gifts, but they couldn't help but look at their parents.
The other parents exchanged glances and took out some of their own things to share with the others. One of the parents who came even gave Song Yanshen a piece of shortbread.
Song Yanshen hesitated for a moment, but still took it and nodded at him.
The middle-aged man was somewhat surprised, thinking to himself, "This kid's got some nerve!"
He felt slightly annoyed.
Zhong Xiaoxiao noticed and immediately said sweetly, "Uncle, thank you. I'd also like to say thank you on behalf of my brother... He can't speak, so please bear with him."
The middle-aged man was taken aback for a moment, then said with some annoyance, "It's alright, it's alright!"
He couldn't help but glance at Song Yanshen again.
This child is fair-skinned and adorable, so why can't he speak?
