Chapter 17 Notice
"What about me? What about me? Sister Ning!"
Fu Ting, who was scratching his head anxiously, jumped around her like a monkey.
"You go too..."
A huge surprise came crashing down, and before he could catch it steadily, it broke with a snap.
"Go take us back."
When they were young, they didn't care about the difference between men and women. Now they are grown up, how can we let them go back and sleep hanging on the wall at night?
Fu Ying, who had come out with her schoolbag on her back, slapped her silly brother on the head. "If you keep yelling, I'll tell mom about the ten yuan..."
"My two dear sisters, come on, I will definitely take you home safely!"
His attitude changed 180 degrees. After hearing her threat, Fu Ting looked serious and dared not use magic anymore.
"Come on, sisters, give everything to the younger ones!"
"Hmph~ That's more like it. Here, take it."
How can we not catch you when the evidence is delivered to our door?
Fu Ying proudly threw her schoolbag and the cowhide bag in Suning's hand to him.
"Mom, Grandpa, let's go first~"
"Be good over there and listen to your sister Ningning!"
"Go ahead, and be safe."
After saying goodbye to Grandpa Fu and Aunt Fu, Suning took siblings Fu Ying and Fu Ting and left Qinghe Lane.
…
On the main street, which had already become completely dark, there was a round street lamp with an iron cover every twenty meters.
The light was not bright but it attracted a large number of moths and insects, which gathered in groups in the light column and occasionally hit the light bulb, making a banging sound.
Unlike the deserted days of the past, many beautifully dressed men and women appeared on the streets, all with excited looks on their faces, rushing to the same place in a hurry.
"They must be rushing to watch the new musical The East is Red. My classmates said it's really exciting and great!"
Just by looking at the direction they were going, Fu Ting guessed the result. He led the way obediently in front and said in a flattering tone, "Sister Ning, take us to see it during the summer vacation~"
"Straighten your tongue before you speak!"
Rubbing the goose bumps on his arms, Fu Ying frowned and said coldly, "Do you think you are still a two-year-old baby? You are acting like a spoiled child in a baby voice. Isn't that disgusting?!"
"Ahem~"
Fu Ting's face flushed at what his elder sister said, and he turned back embarrassedly, but he still had to retort stubbornly, "I'm not telling you, it's your turn to be disgusted!"
"No noise."
If these two guys weren't stopped from fighting in the street, Suning could only helplessly speak up in advance.
They are really like the pair of enemies my aunt described. They miss each other so much when they are not together, but when they meet, they can't even say a few words to each other.
"When you two have your day off, I'll take you out to have some fun before I leave. Shopping, watching a musical, roller skating are all fine."
“…”
For a moment, Fu Ting, who loved to play, lowered his head and fell silent.
Fu Ying even took her arm and asked the question that had been in her mind for a long time, "Sister Ningning, do you have to go to Xiangnan? Can't you stay in Beijing and work instead of going to college?"
"Yeah, the job over there has been decided!"
"That……"
When he looked up again, Fu Ting regained his former vitality and said with a smile, "Sister Ning, wait for me. I will also go to Xiangnan after graduation next year!"
Yes, that's also possible!
Fu Ying, reminded by her stupid brother, shook off the melancholy and reluctance on her face: If I go to Xiangnan, not only can I see Sister Ningning from time to time, but I can also temporarily get rid of the "surveillance" of my mother and be completely free!
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this decision was a great one. If her grandfather and the others objected, the worst that could happen was that she would quietly apply to be an educated youth sent to the countryside.
"Okay, come find me!"
No one objected to the two people's decision. On the contrary, Suning even thought it was a good idea.
Isn't it better to have nothing in southern Hunan than a vast desert with nothing but dust and sand everywhere?
Once she gets there, she will have herself and a paradise space, so she won’t be afraid of not being able to support a few more people.
"Then it's settled. Sister Ningning, we will go to you when the time comes!"
"Okay, now, watch the road."
“Oh~”
…
At the gate of the steel plant’s family compound.
Xu Zixin was standing next to a cement wall with red slogans written on it, his plaid shirt tucked into his black straight pants. He wore glasses and had his signature smile on his face, looking gentle and elegant.
The faint light from the security booth behind the wall lengthened his figure. He didn't know how long he had been there. There were small red spots on his face and neck from mosquito bites.
When he saw the three people finally appearing at the corner, Xu Zixin, who was relieved, strode forward and asked in a gentle voice, "Why are you here so late?"
"Tingzi Yingying is here? Let's go home. The factory distributed Dragon Boat Festival benefits yesterday. There are big sweet watermelons!"
"dad."
"Uncle Xu!" "Good evening, Uncle Xu!"
"Okay, okay, let's go home first and call your grandfather back. Then we can talk."
After exchanging a glance with his two sisters, Fu Ting smiled and touched the back of his head, revealing his big white teeth. "Uncle Xu, I won't go. It will be too late to go back later. Grandpa will be even more worried."
"Don't worry, Xiaoting. You can ride my bike back later."
"That's right, we're already at my uncle's house, how can we not go in? Let's go!"
Xu Zixin put his arm around his shoulders, and while smiling, he led him to the gate and patted him vigorously, "Good boy, you've grown so strong, and you look more and more like your father. Like father, like son!"
After they walked a few steps backward and talked and laughed, Fu Ying glanced straight ahead and then secretly glanced at Sister Ningning beside her, but still felt that something was strange.
Fu Ying, who had endured it for so long that she couldn't hold back any more, tugged at her arm, stood on tiptoe and whispered in her ear, "Sister Ningning, did you...have a fight with Uncle Xu?"
"Hmm? Why do you ask?"
"I can't really say why, but it just feels weird. You two?"
Suning stopped unconsciously, licked his lips and asked back, "Is it obvious?"
"I don't know about others, but those who are familiar with your past interactions will definitely be able to notice it."
She clenched her hands tightly at her sides, and quickly recalled how the father and daughter had interacted since she had 'seen' Xu Zixin's true face in the hospital.
I thought she tried hard to control herself and acted well...
After all, she had too little experience and seemed too immature in front of the old fox.
"Sister Ningning?"
"Ningning, Yingying, what are you two sisters whispering about? Hurry up and walk a few steps. There are too many mosquitoes outside!"
I felt my fingertips holding hers were trembling, and they even felt cold in such a hot day.
For the first time, Fu Ying looked seriously at Uncle Xu's profile. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but in the dim light his eyes revealed an unspeakable meaning that made people inexplicably frightened.
When she looked again, there was nothing there. It was still the gentle and loving Uncle Xu she was familiar with.
But her body was faster than her brain, and Fu Ying subconsciously blocked his probing gaze, pinched her palms and said unnaturally, "Uncle Xu, don't look! This is a girl's secret!"
He was quite angry and embarrassed, and a blush spread from his neck to his face.
Xu Zixin cleared his throat uncomfortably as he thought of something, turned around and forced Fu Ting, who was curious and wanted to see what was going on, into the corridor first.
