The next morning, Yan Sisi was still deep in sleep when she heard her cousin knocking on her door several times. "Sisi, get up. You're going to be late."

Yan Sisi was startled by the sound and sat up suddenly from the bed. She covered her pounding heart and shouted to the door, "Brother, I'm not going. You guys go by yourselves!"

She was frightened and could only lie on the bed to rest. She didn't want to run out early in the morning. Besides, it was only a little past five o'clock. Was it necessary to get up so early?

"No, hurry up and get up. I'll wait for you downstairs." Tang Mingze said all in one breath while standing at the door. Then, without giving his cousin any chance to refuse, he turned around and walked downstairs.

Yan Sisi listened to the footsteps going away at the door. She sat there for a while with a dazed head before she struggled to get up from the bed and wash up. She simply put on a white dress and roughly braided her hair to let it hang on both sides.

As soon as I walked downstairs, I saw Tang Mingze taking the basket handed to him by Aunt Liu and said to her, "Let's go, we'll have breakfast in the car."

When Yan Sisi and the others came to their senses, they were already sitting in the car. She couldn't help but yawn and said to her brother: "I'm out now. What should I do if no one is watching over the old house?"

"Don't worry. I told Aunt Li this morning and asked her to keep an eye on you. Just go out with me and have fun today." Tang Mingze handed over the breakfast in a lunch box and said, "This is the crab meat bun Aunt Liu made early in the morning. Eat it while it's hot."

Yan Sisi immediately perked up. You know, Aunt Liu is really good at making pasta. As soon as she opened the lid, she smelled a fragrant aroma. She took a small bite of the bun. It was full of crab meat and a little crab roe. The thin skin wrapped with fresh crab meat was so delicious.

"Brother, Aunt Liu's cooking skills are truly amazing. What will I do when I go to school and can't eat such delicious meals?" Yan Sisi couldn't help but sigh at the little bun. She felt that her mouth was becoming spoiled after staying at her uncle's house for so many days.

Tang Mingze ate his breakfast and said calmly, "That's not difficult. Come back if you want to eat. I'll bring you some if I'm free."

Yan Sisi smiled and said, "Brother, you are right. I am waiting for you to bring me food."

After saying that, he smelled the fragrance coming from the lunch box and finished the box of eight crab meat buns in no time. After finishing, he still felt unsatisfied and looked at the lunch box in his cousin's hand.

Tang Mingze looked at the look in his cousin's eyes and quickly threw the buns in the lunch box into his mouth. Yan Sisi looked at the empty lunch box with regret, then helplessly retracted her gaze and looked at the unfamiliar buildings outside the car window and asked, "Brother, where are we going?"

Tang Mingze put the lunch box back into the bag and said, "It's a farm in the suburbs. You'll know when you get there."

Yan Sisi uttered "Oh" and couldn't help closing her eyes again due to the shaking of the car. She was not awakened until the car stopped.

Yan Sisi got out of the car and looked at the rows of villages in front of her. The ground was paved with gravel roads. Her brother was carrying a basket and walking towards the house in front.

She followed her cousin, stepping on the stones, and walked forward step by step. She came to the largest house in the village. Before she got close, she heard a group of people talking loudly.

When her brother pushed the door open to greet people, Yan Sisi followed behind him obediently. Her brother introduced the names of the four men and two women inside one by one, "This one is Li Zhao, the one next to him is Wang Er, the one sitting is Sheng Ying, and the last one is Zhao Ming."

After saying that, he looked at the remaining two girls. It was the first time he saw them and he didn't know their names.

Seeing this, the girls took the initiative to step forward and introduce themselves: "My name is He Yingying, you can call me Yingying."

Another girl with long hair and a very delicate look said in a low voice: "My name is Li Lingling, hello everyone."

After saying this, he stood there quietly without saying another word.

Tang Mingze then continued, "This is my sister, Yan Sisi."

Seeing this, Yan Sisi could only greet everyone and said, "Hello, everyone."

After the group of people greeted each other, her brother was dragged away by the group of boys and no one knew where he was going. The other two girls sat together and whispered, and she was embarrassed to go over and disturb them.

Looking around the yard, it seemed that only Sheng Ying's side had three remaining seats. She walked over carefully and asked in a low voice, "Well, can I sit here?"

Sheng Ying said "hmm" without raising his head and continued to look at the book in his hand. Seeing that he had agreed, Yan Sisi breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the farthest chair, observing the yard boredly.

The area is a little bigger than the old house. The water tanks, flowers, plants and farm tools in the yard show that they are well taken care of, and the flowers and plants are growing very vigorously.

"Do you mind if I sit here?" A female voice sounded from behind, and the voice sounded very gentle.

Yan Sisi looked back and saw a girl with curly hair and makeup on her face standing behind her and looking at her with a smile.

Yan Sisi smiled back subconsciously, turned her head cautiously to look at Sheng Ying, and seeing that he didn't say anything, she didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Lan Jing walked over and sat next to the strange girl. She looked at her carefully and said, "Hello, my name is Lan Jing, who are you?"

She had been in the room for a while when a girl appeared. Thinking of Tang Mingze whom she had just met, she wondered what the relationship between the two was.

Yan Sisi: "Hello, Yan Sisi."

Lan Jing looked at her delicate face. Her black hair made her face look fair and translucent. The white dress she wore seemed to be tailor-made for her. Such a pretty girl would definitely attract most of the attention. She was confused for a moment but couldn't help asking, "What is your relationship with Mingze?"

Yan Sisi looked up at her when she heard that. Most people probably wouldn't ask such a direct question. Looking at the woman's calm face, she thought she was being too sensitive and replied, "He's my cousin."

Lan Jing breathed a sigh of relief, raised her voice a little, and said, "Is this your first time here? Do you want me to take you around?"

Yan Sisi was bored, so she looked around and saw her brother was being taken to some unknown place. She stood up and said, "Okay."

Lan Jing led the group out of the yard, introducing them as they walked: "This is Linjia Village, the house just now belongs to Li Zhao's family, we will come here to climb the mountain and get together when we are free."

Yan Sisi followed behind and felt that the air here was quite good. She looked at the flowers and plants on the roadside and asked, "Do you get together often?"

"About a few times a month." Lan Jing thought for a moment and replied. This time, she had to follow her cousin to bring her here. Fortunately, she saw him this time.

Yan Sisi nodded without asking any more questions. She just followed the people around the village. Watching them walking towards the fields with tools like shovels made her feel like she was back home.

The whole village is filled with houses and people. I don’t know why her brother and his friends came here to gather, and I don’t quite understand their thoughts.

After a walk, Yan Sisi followed Lan Jing back. As soon as they entered the yard, they found a large round table with a lot of breakfast on it.

Tang Mingze saw his cousin coming back, pulled her to his side and asked, "Where did you go? If someone hadn't said they saw you and Lan Jing go out, I would have thought you were missing."

Yan Sisi met her brother's serious expression, blinked her eyes and said, "I went out for a walk."

What else could Tang Mingze say to his cousin's expression? He always used this trick, and he didn't know how to change it. In the end, he couldn't help but rub her head and said, "Remember to tell me next time, got it?"

Yan Sisi resisted the urge to slap her brother's hand away, nodded repeatedly and said, "I understand. From now on, I will definitely stay by your side and won't leave even if you push me away."

After saying that, she turned around to prepare to eat, only to then realize that everyone's eyes were staring at them. She immediately pulled her brother embarrassedly, motioning him to look over there.

Tang Mingze looked over and saw his good friend Li Zhao jokingly saying, "This is the first time I've seen Mingze treat a girl like this. It turns out that my cousin is extraordinary."

Tang Mingze glared at him and said, "My sister is definitely different. You don't even need to tell me. I'm starving if I don't eat now."

Yan Sisi, who was not very hungry, looked at the table full of breakfast, then turned back to look at her cousin who had already started eating. She had no idea how he could eat all that. Didn’t they just eat?

Seeing that Yan Sisi didn't move her chopsticks, Lan Jing thought she was embarrassed, so she quickly took a basket of buns and handed it to her, saying, "Eat something to cushion your appetite. We still have to climb the mountain soon. If you're empty-stomached, you won't have the energy to climb."

These words came as a bolt from the blue to Yan Sisi. She would have to climb a mountain soon. How could she do such a physically demanding task?

If she had known that she had to climb a mountain, she would never have come.

Yan Sisi glanced at Tang Mingze who was eating enthusiastically, and thinking about the energy she would have to consume soon, she could only lower her head, pick up the chopsticks and start eating.

After breakfast, a group of people excitedly took some food and drinks and went to climb the mountain.

Tang Mingze, who was walking in front, said to Wang Er, who was walking at the end, "Don't forget the fruit I brought."

"I understand, Brother Ze. Even if I forget myself, I will never forget your fruit." Wang Er said loudly.

A group of people walked towards the foot of the mountain vigorously, playing and laughing as they climbed. It was the first time for Yan Sisi to climb a mountain in her life. She originally thought that she would not be able to climb too high. However, when they reached the top of the mountain, her brothers were so tired that they sat down on the rocks, but she did not feel tired at all.

Tang Mingze sat on a huge rock, looking at his cousin who was still energetic and looking around the mountain. He couldn't help but said in surprise: "Sisi, you have such good physical strength!"

Yan Sisi glanced at her brother and said, "Maybe you are too weak."

As soon as these words were spoken, the other boys burst into laughter, leaving Yan Sisi a little confused. She looked at them strangely.

The group of people met Yan Sisi's innocent eyes. No one explained anything. After resting for a while, everyone spread a layer of cloth on the stone and placed the food they brought on it.

Yan Sisi was not very hungry, so she picked some strawberries and fruits to eat. No matter how many times she ate the sweet strawberries, she always felt very satisfied.

The others didn't take the fruit seriously at first, and went straight to eat the meat. After they finished the meat, they reached for the fruit. After eating it, they all exclaimed: "This is too good. When did we get such delicious fruit? Mingze, you are too rude. I was wondering why you only ate a little meat today. You should have eaten more fruit."

"Yes, that's too cunning. As a punishment, he is not allowed to eat the next fruit."

Tang Mingze protected the fruit in his hand and said, "Without me, would you be able to eat such delicious fruit?"

Yan Sisi watched them fighting for the fruit with a smile, and just sat there without saying a word. The other girls had already joined the fight, and the fight stopped after a long while.

At this moment, Tang Mingze was already in the melee, his hair and clothes were all messed up. He looked at his friends who were dispersing with a resentful look, and he refused to say where he bought the things.

The group of people played on the mountain for a while before going down. Before going back, Tang Mingze bought a few local chickens from the villagers and took them back.

In the evening, Yan Sisi ate the local chicken she bought from the village. Compared with the chicken raised in the space, she simply ate a few bites and put down her chopsticks.

In the following days, Yan Sisi was busy going back and forth between her uncle's house and the old house every day, and finally she finished renovating the old house before school started.

After the house was renovated, Yan Sisi immediately called Gu Jingping to make an appointment to come and help her move.

Gu Jingping followed Yan Sisi with the package in his hand. Looking at the empty house, he couldn't help but say, "Wouldn't it be a bit unsafe for you to live here alone?"

Tang Mingze pushed open the door and put the things in his hand back into the house first. He turned around and said, "Sisi, why don't you live in the house my dad gave you? This house looks too old."

He really couldn't understand why his cousin would rather live here than in the small Western-style building.

Yan Sisi responded to their questions with a simple answer: "I like it."

She likes it, and it’s priceless. Such a big yard, she will plant vegetables, flowers, and fruit trees in it in the future. It will definitely look very different if she tidies it up carefully.

Moreover, this house is only 5 minutes away from her school, which is definitely the best place.
