"Sister, can I go back and give one to Hu Zi and the others?"
"Okay, how about I buy you some more?" There are several children, and if each of them gets one, there will be almost no more left.
"No, these are enough," Shuanzhu was never a greedy child.
"Okay, do you want a popsicle? I'll buy you one."
"Can I have the cream ones?" Cream popsicles are five cents each.
"Yes, of course. We can buy it when we get out."
Four people, each holding a popsicle, walked towards the state-owned restaurant. This street was the center of the county town, and state-owned restaurants, post offices, and other things were all concentrated here.
Ershuang was just taking a break by the window, looking out. Seeing them, his eyes lit up with laughter: "Why are you here today? Did you just get here?"
"Is there any food left?" Cen Zixiang looked at the situation and didn't know whether there was any food left.
"Yes, wait, find a place to sit down first, it will be ready in a moment."
Ershuang is now the official second chef of a state-owned restaurant. When the head chef is not around, he can take on the main responsibility and speaks with more confidence.
After a while, four dishes and a soup were served, and Cen Zixiang quickly stood up to pay.
Ershuang immediately pulled him back: "Why do you have to pay for coming here? This meal is on me. You haven't told me why you came here today? Do you have something to talk to me about?"
"No, I just happened to come here today to help the village pick up a tractor, so I thought we could come over and take a stroll together. When will you take a break?" Cen Zixiang chatted with Ershuang, their arms around each other's shoulders.
"It's time to go up the mountain to get some mountain products. I'm saving up my vacation time. When my brother comes over, we can go together."
Cen Zixiang picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in Chen Ye's bowl: "Little sister, eat more meat."
Ershuang looked at Cen Zixiang and couldn't figure out what this guy was trying to do. He had already put the braised pork in front of Ye Zi, and he still needed you to help him pick up the dishes?
Wrong: "What did you call the leaf just now?"
Didn’t you always call her Ye Zi Ye Zi, or Ye Meime before? Why is she calling her just “little sister” now? Could it be that they have become godparents?
That's not possible. If Ye Zi agrees to be the godparent, it will never be the turn of Cen Zixiang, who came later.
Cen Zixiang was so proud that he came here today just to show off. This was his biological sister, and his relationship with her was much closer than that between Ershuang and Dashuang and the others and their younger sister.
"Little sister."
"No, why? Ye Zi already said she doesn't recognize godparents. Ye Zi, you're being too mean. Why are you still judging people? My brother and I haven't known each other any longer than you and Cen Zixiang have."
Cen Zixiang grinned happily and patted Ershuang's shoulder: "What are you talking about? My little sister said she doesn't recognize her godparents. I'm different from you."
"What's so different about you? You're just a little taller than us two brothers, and a little prettier. You still have two eyes and a nose. So what? You even have an extra mouth than us?"
"Hey, Ye Zi is my biological sister, my grandparents' biological sister, don't you understand?"
Double double...
"Wait a minute, I need to figure it out." A grandparent's biological sister, does that mean they are cousins?
"That's not right. Your last name is Cen and Ye Zi's last name is Chen. Although they sound similar, they are written differently. Are you trying to fool me?"
"Hey, don't be impatient. Let me explain this to you slowly..."
This guy, Cen Zixiang, didn't even eat his meal. He roughly explained what happened: "So you understand? Ye Zi is my blood sister."
Brothers like you two have to stand aside. How could you dream of being brothers?
Ershuang really didn't know about these things and was stunned when he heard them. It was almost like a picture book.
Ershuang didn't quite believe Cen Zixiang and looked at Chen Ye: "Ye Zi, is what he said true?"
Chen Ye nodded: "About the same."
"Ah! Why didn't you tell us about this when you came back?" How sad Ye Zi must have felt when she suddenly found out that her parents were not her biological parents.
Although they were not good parents, it was better to have them than not. No wonder Ye Zi was so ruthless when she dealt with Chen Laoer.
"Well, what good news is this? If I tell you, you'll get angry too. It's better not to tell you. Anyway, I had parents at that time, so it made no difference to me whether I had them or not."
"That's true. What do you think? Don't you want to go back with your biological father?"
Cen Zixiang is from the capital, and Ye Zi’s biological father should also be in the capital. It’s a good place, much better than here.
"No, I'm used to living here and don't want to move. Besides, that person is busy with work and doesn't have time to go home often, so what does it matter where I live?"
Cen Zixiang felt happy when he heard Ye Zi's words. Although Ye Zi looked awkward on the surface, he could tell from her words that she had accepted her third uncle as her father. She would write a letter to tell him the good news when she got back.
"If you really think it through, the capital is much better than here." Are there really fools who don't want to live a good life and just stay in the countryside?
"What's there to think about? What? You don't want me to stay?" She was used to living alone and couldn't adapt to having so many relatives around all of a sudden.
"How can that be? I wish you would stay here forever. If you really go to the capital, it will be difficult for us to meet again in the future." He and his brother treated Ye Zi as their own sister.
"That's it, then. By the way, how's Da Shuang's boyfriend? Didn't they say they were going to get married? When did they agree on the date?" Chen Ye didn't want everyone to pay too much attention to her recognition of her relatives.
"The date is set. If you don't come today, I'll send a message. We're getting married next week, October 1st. My brother told me to tell you that you can't not go."
"Then definitely go. I'll come find you and we can go together."
Da Shuang started dating his girlfriend after the Chinese New Year. They were in a free relationship. The girl worked in the same factory as Da Shuang and was a nice and generous girl.
She is also very good-looking, with thick eyebrows, big eyes and a round face, which is the most fashionable look of this era.
There is just one bad thing. The girl's parents are all gone, and if she marries Dashuang, she will have to bring her younger brother with her, which is like Dashuang getting one free for one.
The girl's family conditions are average, but she doesn't have any troublesome relatives. Otherwise, a girl with a brother who is only ten years old would not be able to keep the house they live in now.
There's nothing Dashuang can do about this. After all, Dashuang and Ershuang have no parents just like the girl. The girl at least has relatives to help her, but Dashuang and Ershuang are not as good as them. These two rely entirely on themselves.
"Speaking of which, your brother has already found a wife. You two are about the same age, aren't you in a hurry?"
Ershuang rolled his eyes: "Why rush? You'll get a wife naturally when the time comes."
