Yan Sisi walked to the front of the house, knocked on the door and said, "Sister Xiaomei, I'm coming in."
After he finished speaking, he heard someone inside the house respond, and then he opened the door and walked in.
Yan Sisi immediately saw Cai Mei, whose face was flushed and smiling sweetly, and asked jokingly, "Sister Xiaomei, what did you see that made you smile so happily?"
There is a white piece of letter in my hand. It can’t be a letter from my partner!
Cai Mei put away the paper in her hand and asked with a blushing face, "Why are you here?"
"I'd like to invite you to go to school together tomorrow." Yan Sisi stated the purpose of her visit straight away. Cai Mei was only a few months older than her, and they were in the same school but different classes.
Cai Mei did not go to the countryside because all her older brothers and sisters did so, and she was the only one left in the family who did not go to the countryside. Recently, the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination came out, and basically all the families who could afford it sent their children who were not working to school.
Cai Mei replied in confusion: "Okay, but why did you suddenly want to go to school with me?"
You know, Yan Sisi usually goes to school and goes home alone, and there are many boys in the family compound who want to pick her up from school. Why did he suddenly come to find her?
Yan Sisi sat down on the bed and told Cai Mei about how she felt she was being followed last week. Cai Mei frowned and asked, "Didn't you see what the person looked like?"
Yan Sisi herself was not too sure, and said in confusion: "No, it's just that when I walked, he walked too, and when I stopped, he stopped too. When I turned around, I saw nothing. Maybe I heard it wrong?"
Her father and I didn't catch anyone today. Maybe she was too sensitive. It's possible that the person just took the same route as her. She left early today, so she didn't run into him. But just in case, it's safer to walk with others.
After hearing the suggestion, Cai Mei said, "People go missing in our county every year. It's right to be careful. I'll go find Li Min and tell him that we can go together tomorrow. It will be safer if a boy is with us."
After saying that, he stood up and walked to the living room, and Yan Sisi hurried out.
The two of them walked to the living room, and Cai Mei turned around and said to Yan Sisi who had followed them, "Just wait for news at my house, I'll be back soon."
"Okay, thank you, Sister Xiaomei."
"What's the problem? We grew up together."
After Cai Mei finished speaking, she shouted to the kitchen, "Mom, I'm going to be out for a while. Sisi is here, please entertain me. I'll be back soon."
Cai Lan responded, "Hey, go ahead!"
Cai Lan came out of the kitchen with a bowl full of brown pickled garlic. She put it on the table and said, "Sisi, take this back and eat it later. The pickled garlic made by my aunt is absolutely delicious. You will definitely want to come back for more."
"Okay, thank you Aunt Cai." Yan Sisi sat obediently on the stool and waited for about ten minutes before she saw Sister Xiaomei coming back. After getting a positive answer, she took the empty basket and the bowl of pickled garlic and went back.
When she got home, Yan's mother looked at the extra bowl of pickled garlic on the table and asked, "Where did this pickled garlic come from?"
Yan Sisi, who had returned to her room to do her homework, stuck her head out and replied, "Auntie Cai gave it to me."
Mother Yan said "Oh", put the pickled garlic into her own bowl and prepared to return the bowl to the person later.
Yan's mother returned to the kitchen and brought all the food to the table. She then shouted to the two people in the room, "It's time to eat."
Yan Sisi and her father came out of their respective rooms. The family of three finished their meal. Yan Sisi took advantage of everyone being around to say, "Did I meet my cousin at school today?"
"She goes to school, too?"
Yan Sisi, "Well, he came here last time when you were not at home. This time he saw me and asked me about the wooden bracelet again."
Father Yan quickly looked at his daughter and asked, "Why did she ask you about the wooden bracelet?"
Could it be that he knew his daughter's wooden bracelet was a thing from an immortal and wanted to steal it?
Yan Sisi told her cousin what she said, "Someone wanted to buy the wooden bracelet for a hundred yuan."
Father Yan said, "You are such a liar. How could anyone be interested in your ugly wooden bracelet?"
Yan Sisi said, "I'm also confused, but she seems to be determined not to stop until she finds it. I can only lie to her and say that it's okay. Dad, do you know someone who can make a bracelet like the previous wooden bracelet?"
Father Yan thought about it and found someone he knew, so he agreed immediately: "Take her away first, I'll go out and find someone to do it for you tomorrow. You must not let your cousin find out about the thing in your hand."
No one would spend a hundred bucks to buy an ugly bracelet for no reason. Unless she discovered the secret inside, making a fake one would make her give up.
Yan Sisi nodded and watched the TV series for a while before returning to her room to continue doing her homework.
The next few days were spent peacefully. During the day, she went to school with Xiaomei and Limin, and studied hard at night. I felt that the effect was not great. Although her memory has improved a lot, there are still many questions she has never seen before. If she can find a teacher to tutor her, her chances of getting into college next year will definitely be better.
Every night before going to bed, Yan Sisi would return to the space to water the plants inside. The plants planted this time had a longer growth cycle, so there were no plants that matured in one or two days.
After leaving the space, Yan Sisi would pour the spiritual spring water brought out from the space into her own bucket to speed up the recovery of her father's arm.
During this period, my cousin Yan Xiangdong also came several times, and each time he brought something. Although the things were not expensive, my father's impression of him became better and better, and he always praised him.
She hadn't found any information about the man with three fingers at her home, and there had been no progress on the matter of her father being put in a sack. The police hadn't found the murderer either.
As for her case, the police came again on Tuesday and officially announced the punishment for Zhou Jiajun: he was sentenced to fifteen years in prison and sent to the most remote and hard-working countryside for reform.
The judgment time is longer than what Aunt Chen said before.
Her father also asked someone to make an identical wooden bracelet for her cousin and sold it to her. However, her cousin looked at her with a scary look afterwards. I wonder if it was because she found out that the wooden bracelet could not be recognized by dripping blood.
When school was over on Friday, Yan Sisi was still thinking about finding a tutor. When she got home, her father told her, "I found a teacher for you. He will give you tutoring on Saturday morning."
"Found it, who is it?"
Father Yan pushed the black-and-white photo in his hand over to her. Yan Sisi took it with a confused look on her face. She recognized the person in the photo at first sight. Wasn't that the person who saved her? How could it be such a coincidence that he was the teacher her father found for her?
Yan Sisi pretended not to know him and asked, "Dad, where did you find this teacher? Is he reliable? He looks too old!"
Father Yan's heart shuddered when he heard this, wondering if he had been discovered. He said calmly, "Don't look at his young age. He graduated from a serious university. He is said to be doing research somewhere now. It won't be a piece of cake for him to teach you."
Yan Sisi looked at her father, who was sitting upright, in confusion, "But he is so capable, how could he have the time to be my teacher?"
"Your dad is really awesome. He found such an awesome teacher for you..." Yan's father almost let the cat out of the bag, but changed his words at the last moment.
They did this without telling the lady, but they must not let her find out, otherwise she would definitely not want to go.
Father Yan was afraid that he would let the cat out of the bag again, so he urged him, "You haven't done your homework yet, hurry up! If you have any questions, write them down and ask the teacher tomorrow."
Yan Sisi returned the photo to her father without thinking too much about it. She was just looking forward to meeting her savior tomorrow. He had saved her twice, so she was thinking about buying him something as a gift.
Otherwise, wouldn't it make her seem a bit ungrateful?
Yan Sisi kept this in mind and prepared to go to the mall to check it out tomorrow morning.
Then I opened the textbook, calmed down, and started to concentrate on studying. I marked down all the content that I didn’t understand before, and planned to ask the teacher when I saw him tomorrow.
After a good sleep, Yan Sisi was pulled out of the quilt by her mother early the next morning.
Yan Sisi casually put on a cotton coat and cotton pants and walked out. Her mother saw her and quickly pushed her back to the room. Yan's mother said with a look of dismay: "You are going to see the teacher wearing this?"
"Yeah, what's wrong with wearing this?" Yan Sisi was confused. What else could she wear if it was cold but a cotton coat and trousers?
"Don't try to leave a good impression when you first meet me." Yan's mother began to rummage through the lady's closet, and finally pulled out a white turtleneck patterned sweater, a cashmere tweed coat, and corduroy trousers and handed them over to her.
Yan Sisi muttered, "It's not like I'm going on a blind date, so why bother dressing up so nicely?"
Although she said this, her body still honestly took the clothes and started to change. Usually, everyone wore very simple clothes at school, so she almost forgot about these beautiful clothes in the closet.
Yan Sisi changed her clothes and went out. Her mother nodded with satisfaction, "She looks much better this way. My daughter is as pretty as I am."
Father Yan praised with a smile on his face, "My daughter looks good in this dress."
Yan Sisi was so happy when she was praised that she finished the breakfast prepared by her mother and was about to go out with the schoolbag she had prepared last night.
Father Yan said to his daughter who was about to leave: "Remember it is nine o'clock in the morning, at the very back of the library, don't forget it."
Yan Sisi: "I know. I won't forget it."
After saying that, he closed the door and left. On the way, he met some familiar neighbors and greeted them warmly. "Sisi, what you are wearing today looks really nice. Where are you going?"
"Let's go shopping in the department store. I'm leaving now, auntie." Yan Sisi said goodbye to her neighbor who wanted to chat for a while, and took the time to go to the department store to take a look.
When Yan's father saw his daughter had left, he immediately shouted to Yan's mother who was still busy in the kitchen, "The daughter has left, hurry up."
"Look at you, why didn't you tell your daughter that you were going on a blind date? You even lied to her and said you were going to meet your teacher. Be careful or she might come back and make trouble for you." Yan's mother took off her apron, feeling that what her husband did was unreliable.
"I tell you, will your daughter go?" Father Yan didn't know his daughter well enough. If he was telling the truth, she would definitely not even go, so how could she meet new people and start a new life.
