Jian Shu was well prepared and smiled gently at her. "Don't worry, I have everything at home, from elementary school to high school. Besides that, we also have various reference books. Don't worry, I guarantee you'll have enough to read. How are you? Are you happy?"
Zhao Yueling didn't think her smile was gentle at all, but rather devilish, and it was scary to look at.
"Hehe, do you think I'll be happy?"
"I think you will." Jian Shu said affirmatively.
Zhao Yueling really wanted to say that she wouldn't, but after seeing her sister's serious expression, she compromised and said, "Okay, I'll be happy." She looked dejected and didn't sound happy at all.
But who made her her sister? She really went to great lengths to prevent her from dating.
That’s right, at this moment Zhao Yueling really believed what Jian Shu said before. She thought that she was still a baby and couldn’t fall in love, so she found a random reason to keep her at home.
There is no other reason besides this, otherwise what's the point? No matter how imaginative Zhao Yueling is, she couldn't have imagined that the college entrance examination would be resumed in two years.
"Very good, I will move all the books out for you later, you can keep them and read them slowly, and you can take them back when you go back." Jian Shu was not worried that Zhao Yueling would be perfunctory without her supervision.
She knows this child very well. She has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Once she starts something, there must be an end to it. She will never give up halfway.
Just like learning to catch a chicken, you have to catch it with your own hands before you will give up.
Zhao Yueling couldn't help but twitch her lips, and she rejected her kindness. "No, I have all the textbooks at home. You should keep yours for yourself or give it to Yiyi."
She is not crazy to bring back a bunch of books from far away, which are the ones she has at home.
"Forget about the textbooks. Bring any other materials you don't have at home, as well as the books on the shelf in your room. If there are any books you like, take them back with you."
This time Zhao Yueling did not refuse. A collector could not resist the temptation of a rich library.
When she nodded in agreement, she couldn't help but ask, "Sister, how come there are even textbooks at home?"
She was certain that these books couldn't be the ones her sister had used at school. That set was still in Beijing, and she had taken them out and sorted them out during the last cleaning. It could only be that they had collected them after coming here.
This puzzled her. Why would anyone collect textbooks? Hadn't they learned enough in school? She knew many of her classmates threw away or sold their books upon graduation.
She thinks she loves books very much, but she can't do something like going to the recycling station to collect textbooks?
Her sister really did the opposite and was different from others.
Jian Shu lied with her eyes open, relying on Zhao Yueling's inability to expose her, and said, "Well, there are too many books in the recycling station, and time is limited. I don't have time to sort them one by one, so I brought them back in piles. Who knew there were so many textbooks in there?"
"Is that so?" Zhao Yueling was a little skeptical. It was too much of a coincidence that she just happened to have a complete set.
"Of course! What other reason could there be? Do I collect textbooks specifically? It's not like I'm idle! Besides, look at the big bookshelf in your room. In comparison, there aren't actually that many textbooks. I collected them all by the way." Jianshu continued to talk nonsense.
Zhao Yueling thought of the books on the shelf, and her doubts gradually dispelled. Indeed, with so many books, it wasn't impossible to collect a complete set of textbooks. After all, textbooks were more widely available than many other books.
"Sister, you are amazing. You can find so many books. My collection is not even half of yours."
"Like it? Take as much as you can and they will all be yours." Jian Shu was very generous.
"Thank you, sister!" Zhao Yueling shouted happily.
Hehe, it’s great to be a younger sister. I can fleece my elder sister. She has enough inventory to make a lot of money!
"Look how happy you are!" Jianshu shook his head with amusement.
Really, it’s too easy to satisfy just by reading a few books.
Zhao Yueling didn’t know what she was thinking. If she knew, she would definitely retort: Those are not a few books, but a lot of books!
"Let's go, let's go out! It's almost time for dinner, auntie will call her soon." Jianshu was a little hungry, and looked at the time. The meal should be almost ready.
Zhao Yueling was standing in front of the bookshelf, wondering which books to take with her.
She's almost finished reading this book, so it's not worth it to bring it with her.
She planned to read this book next, so she didn't bring it with her.
This book is too thick, takes up space and is heavy. Why don’t you just not bring it with you?
This is a good book, take it with you!
I've finished reading this book, but she likes it very much. Why don't I take it with me too?
And this one! She’s been looking for it for a long time, she must bring it back!
It felt like there were countless versions of myself talking in my head, and I wasn't paying any attention to what was happening outside.
Jianshu had no choice but to say it again.
"Ah? Oh, okay, I'll be right there!" Zhao Yueling finally reacted, put down the book in her hand, and followed her out to eat.
There is still time later, so you can take your time to choose.
No rush.
Meng Ying was placing a large bowl of spinach meatball soup on the table when she looked up and saw the two people coming out. She smiled and said, "You guys have a pretty good timing. I was just about to call you. Hurry up and wash your hands and get ready for dinner."
Jianshu and Zhao Yueling responded obediently and went to wash their hands.
When I came back, there were three dishes and a soup on the table.
Scrambled eggs with chives, stir-fried mushrooms, fried radish balls, and spinach ball soup. The soup also had some vermicelli in it, which looked refreshing and not greasy.
Meng Ying served Jianshu a bowl of spinach meatball soup, most of which was made up of soup and the rest was mostly spinach. There were only two meatballs and a little bit of vermicelli to satisfy her craving.
Jianshu drank the soup pitifully, his eyes unable to stop glancing at the fragrant fried radish balls beside him, which made Gu Mingjing feel very sorry.
Unfortunately, Meng Ying was here, and she was the only one who had the right to pick up food for Jianshu. The other two were deprived of this right because they secretly fed him.
So if Jianshu wants to eat, he can only find the one at home who can talk.
"Auntie—" She held the bowl and looked at Meng Ying pitifully.
There were a few big words written in his eyes - I want to eat too!
"...You can only eat two. Don't forget who was the one who got sick last time after eating too much!" Meng Ying finally gave in. Simply forbidding them wasn't going to cut it.
For Jian Shu, who had no expectations, this was a pleasant surprise. He didn't bargain at all and happily agreed, "Thank you, Auntie!"
Then he directed Gu Mingjing to pick out the two largest ones for her.
In fact, the balls Meng Ying squeezed out were all very uniform in size, with little difference. But even that tiny difference made Jian Shu very happy, as if he had gotten a great deal.
Gu Mingjing smiled indulgently and followed her instructions to put the two "biggest" meatballs into her bowl.
Meng Ying lowered her head to eat and pretended not to see her "taking advantage". As for Zhao Yueling, she never raised her head.
Humph, she doesn’t want to watch her sister and brother-in-law showing their affection!
