After the three siblings decided where to go sketching, they returned to their respective rooms.
Youyou lay in bed for a while, then sat up and took out her phone.
A moment later, Tang Yanfeng's voice came from the phone. As usual, Tang Yanfeng said "hello" and then fell silent.
Youyou thought: This must be the performance Dad was talking about. "Yanfeng, I want to ask you something."
Tang Yanfeng's answer was both aloof and concise. "Ask away."
Youyou told Tang Yanfeng about what Han Bin had told him about his grandmother making his mother and aunt take turns cooking. "My mother can't cook, but she can hunt. Guess how she did it?"
Tang Yanfeng thought that as soon as she and Youyou returned, Xiaoman kicked them out, and she felt that Xiaoman would definitely not give her mother-in-law any face. "Your mother will definitely tell them directly that she can't cook."
“My mother didn’t say she couldn’t cook.”
“Well…” Tang Yanfeng thought for a moment: “Your mother told your grandmother that she can hunt and earn money.”
"wrong."
"Then...what did your mother do?"
Youyou recounted Xiaoman's actions to Tang Yanfeng. "In our hometown, daughters-in-law take turns cooking. Although my mother can't cook, she doesn't refuse to cook with my aunt just because she can hunt. Yanfeng, I used to think you and my mother were quite alike, but now it seems you and my mother are nothing alike. Yanfeng, let's break up."
"What?!" Tang Yanfeng's voice suddenly became shrill. "Just because I didn't guess what your mother did, you're going to break up with me?!"
"My family doesn't want me to be with you."
"What era are we living in? Why do you still listen to your family in everything?"
Youyou wanted to save face for Tang Yanfeng, so she didn't reveal what Tengteng had found out. "I'm sorry. I don't think we're on the same wavelength."
"You..." Tang Yanfeng wanted to throw something. But if she really did, Youyou would definitely hear it. Tang Yanfeng clenched her fist tightly. "You've disappointed me so much."
"sorry."
Tang Yanfeng held the phone around a few times. "Was it your mother who forced you?"
"No. It's just that I feel we're not a good match."
"Bullshit..." Tang Yanfeng wanted to say "Bullshit!" But... Tang Yanfeng gritted her teeth. "Don't worry. Since you say we're not suitable, I'll seriously consider it. Goodbye." After saying that, Tang Yanfeng hung up the phone. She was afraid that if she didn't hang up, she wouldn't be able to help but swear.
After hanging up the phone, Tang Yanfeng wondered what to do next.
On the other side, Youyou put the phone on the table, sat for a while, and then got up to wash up.
A few days later, the older sister and younger brother started their summer vacation.
That evening, after dinner, the older sister snuggled up to Xiaoman and hugged her waist: "Mom, are you really not going to go out for a walk with us?"
Xiaoman smiled and said, "Yeah." If she went, Youyou might not be able to relax properly.
Han Bin tapped his sister on the head. "You naughty girl, don't you dare run away with your mother."
The older sister smiled mischievously at Han Bin. "Good girl, Mom will bring you a special gift when I come back."
Xiaoman patted her older sister's head. "Okay."
Han Bin tapped his sister on the head again. "You naughty girl. Where's Daddy? Did Daddy have a present?"
"Good girl. Hmm... let me think."
Han Bin pinched his sister's nose. "Still saying you're not a bad girl? Do you even need to think about it?"
"Of course. Special gifts aren't so easy to find."
"Really?" Han Bin asked his sister with a smile. "Then what gift do you want to give your mother?"
"Uh..." The older sister was stumped by the question. "My mother seems to have everything she needs."
Xiaoman smiled and said, "I'm missing a grandson."
"Huh?! This...you'll have to ask my brothers for this."
Xiaoman teased her older sister, saying, "I also need a grandson."
Han Bin chimed in, "That's right. Your mother and I both need a grandson. Why don't you give us one?"
The older sister knew that Xiaoman and Hanbin were teasing her. "Okay. No problem, I'll bring you a chubby, healthy grandson when I come back this time."
Xiaoman smiled.
Han Bin patted his sister's head. "You're still a child yourself."
Sister: "Hehe..."
The family chatted for a while longer before going back to their room to rest.
After changing into her pajamas, the older sister remembered what Xiaoman had said and stuffed a pillow inside. Once inside, she clutched her belly and went to the dressing mirror. After seeing herself clearly, she stuck out her tongue. "So fat! So ugly!"
Then, the older sister imitated a pregnant woman, walking around the room while supporting her belly. After a while, she pulled a pillow out of her pajamas and threw it on the bed. "It's not only ugly, but also tiring. I wish I could have a baby without getting pregnant."
After saying that, my sister went to the bathroom to wash up.
The next day, Youyou set off with her older sister and younger brother.
Just as we left the military area, my sister's phone rang. She took it out, saw it was Teacher Kang calling, let out a wail, and then answered, "Teacher Kang, hello. Where are you planning to go for summer vacation? Teacher Kang, you're so busy during the week, you never have time to date. Now that it's summer vacation, you should go and date! Teacher Kang, have you ever been in a relationship? Teacher Kang, let me tell you, love can inspire creativity. Teacher Kang, you should go and date! If you don't date soon, you'll be too old. Teacher Kang…"
My sister rattled off a whole bunch of things. To sum it up in one sentence: "Teacher Kang, go and date! Dating is good for your creative work."
After listening, Teacher Kang asked casually, "Han Jiejie, have you ever been in a relationship?"
"Uh... I haven't dated anyone, but many of my classmates have."
"Then why aren't their paintings as good as yours?"
"Um...Teacher Kang, what can I do for you?"
What are your plans for this summer vacation?
"Let's go sketching."
Teacher Kang was surprised: "Really?"
"Really. If you don't believe me, ask my brother Youyou. He'll come with me." The older sister put the phone to Youyou's ear. "Brother Youyou, you tell Teacher Kang."
When Teacher Kang learned that the older sister had indeed gone sketching, she became interested as well. "Can I go with you?"
My sister doesn't want to. But... "Of course you can. However, it's summer vacation now. So..."
Teacher Kang smiled. "Don't worry. I won't force you to draw."
"That's good. Teacher Kang, welcome to join us."
As a result, the sister's sketching team expanded from three people to four.
Led by Youyou and her older sister and younger brother, Teacher Kang saw many sights she had never seen before.
With the start of the new school term just around the corner, Teacher Kang was still reluctant to go back home.
Seeing that Teacher Kang loved painting so much, Youyou suggested staying a few more days.
During this stay, the older sister brought back a very special gift for Xiaoman and Hanbin.
