Yi Dongting quickly took the package from Yi Xiaoqiu.
"Oh, oh! Third sister, why didn't you send a letter before you came back? We can go pick you up so that our parents can go to work."
While Yi Dongting was moving the things Yi Xiaoqiu had brought back, he secretly glanced at Yi Xiaoqiu.
Did the third sister really go to the countryside?
Don’t people always say that if you go to the countryside and work in the fields all day, exposed to the sun and rain, you will become old and ugly?
How come the third sister has become even more beautiful?
It seems that my mother was right to send me 30 yuan every month.
Look how fat the third sister is from eating so much.
Now that my third sister is back, my parents can finally rest assured.
Yi Xiaoqiu followed him into the house empty-handed.
After moving the things, Yi Dongting wiped the sweat off his face and said, "Sister, I'm going to tell my parents. You sit in the room and take a rest first."
Yi Xiaoqiu fanned himself with a palm-leaf fan in one hand and took out a dollar from his pocket with the other. "Mr. Xiaoqiu, remember to bring back two popsicles when you come back."
This man is worthy of being one of the four furnaces. After such a short while, she was already sweating from the heat.
I want to eat something ice cold now.
The steel plant was not close to home and the weather was so hot, so this dollar was not only for buying him popsicles, but also for taking the bus.
Sure enough, when Yi Dongting saw the penny, his eyes lit up and his attitude became more attentive.
"Oh! No problem!" Yi Dongting took the money happily and ran out like a gust of wind.
I didn’t expect that my third sister was so generous and gave me just one dollar.
Yi Dongting ran to the textile factory to inform his mother.
As for taking the shuttle bus, that's impossible. It's just a matter of walking a few more steps.
Yi Dongting went to inform his parents at this time, hoping that his parents would be able to go home immediately, or at most get off work early, and then buy some meat and vegetables on the way home from get off work.
This is what Yi Dongting is most looking forward to.
Sure enough, when Yi's mother heard her son say that her little daughter had returned, she was overjoyed.
"I'm taking two hours off this afternoon and leaving get off work early. I'll go home early. I'll buy some meat and vegetables on the way. You should hurry back and see if your third sister needs any help. Don't be lazy, okay?"
As Yang Zhen spoke, he stuffed a coin into his son's pocket.
If it were in the past, he would definitely be excited, because that was a lot of money!
I can buy three popsicles and still have some left over.
But now, Yi Dongting no longer cares about that small amount of money.
However, he still smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.
Who doesn’t like a lot of money?
"Hey! Don't worry, Mom. I've informed Dad and will go back to take good care of my third sister."
As Yi Dongting spoke, he ran towards the steel plant without stopping.
The Yi family's courtyard is a two-story house, and the alley is full of houses like this.
There is a small courtyard when you enter the door. Turn right after entering the courtyard and you will reach the main house.
After entering the gate, there is the main hall, with a room on each side.
Living there are Yi Guodong and his wife, and his eldest son Yi Chunsheng and his wife.
A small kitchen is separated from the main room opposite the stairs.
Two rooms upstairs and a small terrace.
Only one of the two rooms is occupied.
It looks like Yi Dongting's room.
Yi Xiaoqiu remembered the larger room next door. It was her and her second sister's room.
Since there were two people sleeping, there was a double bed in the room.
The room looked like it had just been cleaned, and the sheets on the bed still had creases.
It seems that Yi's mother is also looking forward to her little daughter coming home early!
As for whether it might be prepared for her second sister, Yi Xiaoqiu had never thought about it.
The second son, Yi Xiaqi, is already married. It is said that the two families live not far from each other, only two streets apart, so it is convenient for him to come back and also to go back to his husband's house.
There is no need for Yi Ma to make any special preparations.
Outside the window is a small terrace, not big, only about 20 square meters.
There was a rope on the terrace where the Yi family's clothes were hung to dry.
The railing in front of the terrace is made of red brick.
Yi Xiaoqiu quite likes this small terrace.
She left the room and pushed open the small door to the terrace next to her.
Upon taking a look, she discovered that the houses of all the people living in this alley were of the same style. The railings of her terrace were tightly attached to the terrace of the house next door, and she could just step over them with just one foot.
There are houses of similar height nearby, so the view is quite open.
Yi Xiaoqiu felt a little sorry that the terrace was bare. There was nothing planted there except a hemp rope of clothes hanging on it.
If we could plant some climbing flowers on the terrace of this small building from the last century, and when the flowers bloom, the long branches will hang down from the building. How beautiful it would be!
It's a pity that this kind of petty-bourgeois behavior is not allowed in this era.
When the times allow, this house will also be eliminated by the times.
The small building is nice, much better than living in a tube-shaped building. Unfortunately, the yard is too small and there is no toilet at home. If you want to go to the toilet, you have to go to the public toilet at the end of the alley.
This is what Yi Xiaoqiu is most dissatisfied with.
Yi Xiaoqiu braved the scorching sun and looked at the scenery for a while, but finally he couldn't stand the sun anymore and returned to the house in shame.
As soon as she went downstairs, Yi Dongting walked into the door holding two old popsicles.
"Third sister, I bought some old popsicles. Here they are." After Yi Dongting handed the popsicle to Yi Xiaoqiu, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face.
"Um... Third sister, I just ran to look for my parents, and I still have a lot of money left from the money you gave me..."
Yi Xiaoqiu took the popsicle and glanced at his younger brother.
This kid is so stingy!
It was such a hot day, but I still ran back and forth. The key point was that I didn’t just go to one place.
In just a short while, my husband's face was sunburned, and the hair on his temples was wet and stuck to his face, not to mention that the back of his clothes was soaked.
"I'm giving it to you, just take it! Just don't spend it recklessly."
Yi Xiaoqiu came lightly.
Yi Dongting suddenly smiled like a flower.
Originally, he planned to run there and back by himself and keep the two taels of silver saved for the bus fare. Unexpectedly, his third sister was so generous and gave it all to him.
Yi Dongting was so excited that he snatched the palm-leaf fan from Yi Xiaoqiu's hand.
"Sister, you must be tired after taking the train all the way! Why don't you go upstairs and take a nap? Mom has cleaned up your room early. I'll make lunch later. What do you want to eat?"
He talked a lot, and without waiting for Yi Xiaoqiu to answer, he turned around and ran to Yi Guodong's room to carry out the electric fan.
"Sister, I'll move the fan up there for you so you won't get too hot when you go to sleep later."
When Yi Dongting moved, sweat began to form on his forehead again.
Yi Xiaoqiu looked at the attentive Yi Dongting and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
If she really had squeezed into the train all the way back, she would definitely be eager to lie down on the bed and take a nap, but the problem is that she didn't!
During this period, she strolled around and played, and didn't feel tired at all.
But Yi Xiaoqiu did not refuse Yi Dongting's kindness.
"Then you should move it carefully."
This old-fashioned electric fan is very heavy, but the quality is really excellent. It can be used for a lifetime without breaking down.
Yi Xiaoqiu knew that his adopted brother's attentiveness was closely related to that one dollar, but Yi Xiaoqiu didn't dislike Yi Dongting's attentiveness at all.
