Thinking about the impending period when countless cultural relics would be destroyed, Xiao Jiu let out a long sigh.
Although she and her sisters had storage space, they would try their best to preserve some cultural relics from damage.
But with such a vast country, their power was still too disparate, and ultimately they could not change the course of history.
As Xiao Jiu was taking photos, she turned around and caught Yuan Yuan suddenly tripping and screaming as she was about to fall, but Tao Zui caught her in a tight embrace.
Although they were separated immediately, Yuan Yuan, who was shyly bowing her head, and Tao Zui, who was also blushing and embarrassed, were still captured by Xiao Jiu in this rare moment of awkwardness.
So she called out to them, and they both looked up at her at the same time. In that instant, she pressed the shutter.
"Hey Xiao Jiu, what are you doing!" Yuan Yuan ran towards her, her face flushed. "What did you just film?"
"I took a picture of you, you look so good!" she said, winking at Yuan Yuan, making the other woman blush even more.
Because of this incident, at lunchtime, Xiao Jiu deliberately arranged for Yuan Yuan to sit opposite Tao Zui.
Seeing the two of them touching each other's chopsticks while picking up food, and Tao Zui even picking up food for Yuan Yuan out of embarrassment, Xiao Jiu's smile never faded. Tao Ran, who was watching from the side, immediately understood her sister's thoughts.
In the afternoon, while Taozui went to buy soda, Yuanyuan couldn't help but tap Xiaojiu's forehead while she was in the restroom.
"You only think about your eldest brother and don't care about your second brother?"
Xiao Jiu watched Tao Ran laughing and teasing her, and muttered something in return.
How was I supposed to know which of you my sister would develop feelings for first?
It turns out that second brother, your charm is not as great as your eldest brother's!
"Look, other people blush when they see your older brother, but they don't feel that way when they see you. Is this what they call love at first sight?"
After speaking, he patted Tao Ran's shoulder reassuringly.
"Don't worry, if I meet someone suitable for you, I'll try to introduce you."
After all, she's my future sister-in-law, so I have to introduce her to her personally.
You need to have a good relationship with me so we can get along better in the future.
Tao Ran thought of her elders' thoughts and couldn't help but tap the tip of Xiao Jiu's nose.
"Alright, alright, then I'll ask my dear sister to help me check things out first."
As long as it's not one of your older sisters, you understand?
"Being too familiar with someone makes it harder to make a move!"
Xiao Jiu was surprised to hear Tao Ran's teasing.
"I thought you'd become a bookworm, but I didn't expect you to be so capable!"
"Perhaps when you reach a certain age, you will automatically master a certain skill?"
There are too few women in our school, and their studies and work are usually similar, which is very boring.
We need to add some color and fun to life to make it feel like life is full of surprises, right?
After saying this, Tao Ran looked at her younger sister's tender little face and couldn't help but sigh.
Why am I telling you all this? You're so young, what can you possibly understand?
"Tell me the truth, did Yuanyuan want you to help introduce them?"
Xiao Jiu glared at him, "What are you talking about? They have no idea what I'm thinking."
Besides, I'll be fourteen after the Lunar New Year this year, how am I young?
You think I don't understand anything, but after experiencing so much, I understand everything I need to understand.
A beautiful couple walked over from a distance, chatting and laughing. When they crossed the road, Yuan Yuan was even pulled on the arm by Tao Zui.
Xiao Jiu clicked her tongue twice and gave Tao Ran a sidelong glance.
"See how good my older brother is? You should learn from him!"
Tao Ran stared wide-eyed at Xiao Jiu, "I really misjudged you. You're so young, why are you already acting like a matchmaker?"
"Of course, it concerns the harmony between you two sisters-in-law in the future. You two live far away from your parents, so if I don't worry about it, who will?"
Tao Ran was speechless. He wanted to ask his sister where she learned all this. Did she do it when she was being pursued by some rascal at school? The two people opposite him had already walked over, so he could only glare at his sister for the time being.
At the beginning of the new year, although Chinese people pay more attention to our own Lunar New Year, it is still New Year's Day, so we still have to do something meaningful.
Not only were red flags hung on the city walls, but colorful flags, slogans, red flags, and red lanterns were also hung and posted everywhere in the streets and alleys.
The only thing that was a little lacking was their traditional Spring Festival couplets.
Judging from the long queues at supply and marketing cooperatives, meat stations, vegetable stalls, and department stores, the government must have issued quite a lot of welfare vouchers.
"Why don't you two go and see if there's anything you want to buy? We brought enough money and tickets with us."
Xiaojiu and Yuanyuan both shook their heads. Xiaojiu lacked nothing, and Yuanyuan was a complete stranger, so how could she spend someone else's money?
When the brothers' attempts to persuade him failed, they went to the library together.
While some of the so-called 'banned books' are still available, Xiao Jiu bought a lot to stock up on, so she can read them slowly to pass the time later.
Books were still relatively expensive these days. Apart from the four books I bought for leisure, the other eight were reference books for my own profession.
There were twelve books in total, costing nearly thirty yuan, which the two brothers paid for together.
Once outside, Yuan Yuan looked at the two brothers and asked, "Should I give my share to the little bar when we get back?"
"No need, it's just a few dollars," Tao Zui said politely, but Xiao Jiu nodded vigorously, "Great, great, I've made a profit again."
Yuan Yuan chuckled, "You little money-grubber!"
That doting smile was so captivating that I couldn't look away for a moment.
