"By the way, your brother called home a few days ago and said that his leave has been approved. I guess he should be at your place soon."
"Really? That's great. I miss my brother so much." Hearing her mother's words, Nan Qiao was overjoyed. The obvious joy in her voice made her mother feel a little sour.
"Don't you miss your mother?" Nan's mother said with a sour tone.
"Of course I miss my mom, dad, second brother, and eldest brother. I miss them all."
"Silly girl, that's enough. I won't talk nonsense with you anymore. When you see your elder brother, tell him to call home when he comes back." Nan's mother felt warm in her heart when she heard her daughter's longing.
"Okay, bye, Mom." After hanging up the phone, I felt so happy that my brother would be here soon. My steps became lighter.
After finishing my work, there was no point in staying in town, so I prepared to go home. For lunch, I had the hamburgers and fried chicken I stocked up before transmigrating into the book. Since Shen Nian was not here today, I naturally had to cook a little.
After leaving the post office, Nanqiao rode his bicycle back to the village with a smile on his face that he couldn't hide.
"Mom said that my eldest brother's leave was approved two days ago. It takes only one day to get here by train from Kyoto. My brother will definitely be here soon." Nanqiao thought happily while riding his bike.
"Nanqiao!" Nanqiao, who was having a good time by himself, suddenly heard someone calling him. He stopped the car and looked around for someone.
Unexpectedly, she saw Nanzhou waving at her with bags not far away...
He was wearing a neat military uniform, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, deep facial features, and his icy face was smiling.
"Big Brother!" Nanqiao shouted and put the car aside and ran towards his big brother, hugging Nanzhou, not caring about the eyes of the people around him.
"Brother, I miss you so much. Mom just said you'll be here in the next few days."
Nanzhou hadn't seen his sister for a long time, and it was rare for him to feel such enthusiasm from her. His body stiffened for a moment.
After a moment, he raised his hand and touched Nanqiao's head. He listened to the slightly crying voice in his ear and said gently, "You are such a big girl, and you are still crying to your brother."
"I am your brother's sister, and it's not shameful to cry to my brother." Nanqiao stood up from Nanzhou's arms, very stubborn, and didn't feel embarrassed to cry at all.
"Okay, okay, no matter how old our Qiaoqiao is, she is still her brother's favorite little sister." Nanzhou comforted Nanqiao
"That's natural," Nanqiao said with pride
"Okay, let's go. Is your place in the countryside far from here?"
"It's not far, just 10 to 20 minutes by bike. We can go there by bike," Nanqiao said, pointing to his blue bicycle.
"That's fine," Nanzhou said as he hung the package in his hand on the back seat, tied it on both sides, and patted the back seat and said
"Let's go, I'll take you."
"Okay," Nanqiao jumped onto the back seat of the bicycle.
The women's bicycle was a little cramped for Nanzhou, who was 1.9 meters tall, but it was better than walking back.
It doesn't matter how long he is away on missions all year round, but his little sister can't leave. She will get tanned in such a hot sun.
The road back to the village is not easy to walk on, it is bumpy and has many potholes.
Nanzhou tried his best to keep the car steady and drove on a relatively flat road.
Nanqiao sat in the back seat, his feet dangling, watching his brother riding the bike, and it seemed as if he had returned to the days before his eldest brother went to the army.
At that time, my eldest brother took her to and from school every day just like he does now. It would be nice if it could always be like this...
Following Nanqiao's instructions, Nanzhou stopped at the gate of the courtyard on his bicycle and helped Nanqiao down.
"Brother, come in quickly," Nanqiao opened the gate after getting out of the car and said happily to Nanzhou.
"Brother, look, this is the courtyard of the villager where I and another female educated youth rented a house. Isn't it nice? The educated youth who lives with me is called Chen Nian. She is the first friend I made here. She is very patient."
Nanzhou packed up the things he brought with him and listened quietly to Nanqiao's mumbling.
"Oh, by the way, brother, what do you want to eat? I'll cook it for you! You haven't eaten my cooking for a long time!"
Nanqiao used to cook for her family when she was in Shanghai, but usually it was on special occasions like someone's birthday or her brother's return. Nanqiao's mother and father felt sorry for her because the kitchen was full of fumes and they didn't want Nanqiao to cook in the smoke, so they rarely let her cook.
Nan Zhou thought for a moment after hearing this and said, "The last time I ate it was when I went home for vacation, it's been over a year."
"Yes, brother, what do you want to eat? I'll cook it for you. We have plenty of vegetables and meat at home."
"Let me do it. It's so hot. Just wait." Nanzhou said as he prepared to change his clothes and go to the kitchen.
"No! I have to do it today!" Nanqiao refused firmly.
"Then I'll eat whatever you cook. Where is your room? I'll put the things I brought for you in there," Nanzhou asked
"Over there, brother, you can change your clothes. I prepared new clothes for you." Nanqiao said and pulled Nanzhou towards his room.
Nanqiao went into the room and took out a few solid-colored short-sleeved shirts from his closet. They were taken out from the space, with the labels removed. They were made of ordinary cotton and linen fabrics, similar to the linen fabrics of today, but much softer and more comfortable than linen fabrics. They were sweat-absorbent and cool.
Nanzhou looked at the clothes in his hand, a hint of doubt flashed across his brows, "This fabric... did you buy it here?"
"Of course not, I bought this fabric when I was in Shanghai before, and I brought it with me when I went to the countryside this time. I asked someone to make a few short-sleeved shirts." Nanqiao pretended to look down to find something, feeling a little nervous and not daring to look at his brother...
