"Mom, why are you here?" Shu Ruxue didn't expect that her mother was so well-informed and actually came to see her now. She felt a little uneasy.
"I heard from your Aunt Hongyun that you came to our brigade as an educated youth, so I hurried over to ask you to come home for dinner. Also, your room needs rent every year, so just come home and live with your mother! Although you are not my biological daughter, the mother-daughter relationship of eighteen years cannot be severed. I will always treat you as my biological daughter from now on." Xu Ziying took Shu Ruxue's hand and winked at her.
"Mom, we still live in the educated youth center. There are not many rooms at home. By the way, your dear daughter has come to our brigade to be an educated youth." Shu Ruxue said, blinked and looked at Yun Siying's door, and continued: "But she has retired now."
"Really? Then don't disturb her for now. Everyone in the family misses you. You should go home with mom first." Xu Ziying glanced at Yun Siying's room and said half-heartedly.
"Mom, we still have to clean up the room?" Shu Ruxue took a look at the room and said with some embarrassment.
"Go home and eat first. I'll let Yanyan help you clean up later." Xu Ziying insisted.
"Well, okay! But you have to bring your fiancée." Shu Ruxue said. After getting Xu Ziying's approval, she locked the door, took Shen Mubai and went to the Li family with Xu Ziying.
On the way, Xu Ziying asked, "Yinyin, is your mother good to you?"
"Don't worry, mom. They treat me very well. If you don't believe me, you can ask Mu Bai." Shu Ruxue's eyes softened a little when she thought of that family.
"Aunt, don't worry. Uncle Shu and Aunt Shu are very good to Ruxue. They have no choice but to go to the countryside this time. They are trying to find a way to get Ruxue back to the city." Shen Mubai said hurriedly.
Arriving at the Li family's yard, Shu Ruxue excitedly shouted to the others, "Dad, Yanyan, and Minglang are back."
"Yin Yin is back, it's good that you're back. The food is ready, please sit down and eat." Li Gang and Xu Ziying exchanged glances, and seeing that there were outsiders present, they didn't say much.
"Sister, please sit down. I heard that you were coming, so I prepared two extra dishes. After dinner, can you tell us what the big city is like?" Li Minglang said happily. Her elder sister used to be nice to her.
"My dear parents, Yanyan and Minglang, my mother has changed my name. Now my name is Shu Ruxue." Shu Ruxue had only eaten some biscuits at the educated youth center just now. She was drooling as she looked at the plate of golden scrambled eggs. At the same time, she did not forget to correct her own name.
"Sister, your name is so nice." Li Yanyan said enviously. She wanted to have a poetic name. Why was she not the one reported wrong?
After dinner, Shu Ruxue talked with great interest about the appearance of the big city of Kyoto. The whole family listened with envy, as if they were there themselves.
After a while, Shu Ruxue saw her mother winking at her, so she stood up and walked towards her mother-in-law's room.
"You were arranged to go to the countryside as an educated youth. Did the Shu family discover something and want to get rid of you?" Xu Ziying asked with concern.
"I suspect that Yun Siying secretly signed me up for the country-going quota, so I had no choice but to go there. Fortunately, Kyoto will send me money checks every month in the future." Shu Ruxue said somewhat aggrievedly.
"How much money did you bring with you when you went to the countryside this time? Give it to 놖 quickly." Xu Ziying breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Yinyin's identity was not discovered.
"Mom, I brought 1,000 yuan, but it was stolen on the train." Shu Ruxue said with some sadness and self-blame.
"You! What can I say about you? You can't even keep the money, and what else can you do?" Xu Ziying felt so painful that his heart was bleeding. That was one thousand yuan, not one or two yuan. He was really a prodigal son.
"I was always very careful. When I was about to get off the train, I checked and found that my money was still there. It was not until I arrived at the educated youth point that I realized that my money was missing. It must have been stolen when I was getting off the train with my luggage." Shu Ruxue recalled.
"I'm so heartbroken. By the way, you've been in the Shu family for half a year, have you found the jade pendant?" Xu Ziying said dissatisfiedly, still asking about the progress of the matter.
"No, I searched through the rooms of Shu's wife and Shu's brother, but didn't find the lotus jade pendant. It's just that I can't get into Mr. Shu's room and study. I suspect that the lotus jade pendant is in Mr. Shu's hands. Unfortunately, Yun Siying ruined my plan." Shu Ruxue said seriously. She was able to enter the Shu family, and the credit of Xue Ziying's wife was indispensable.
"Mom, give me some money. I will return it to you when Kyoto sends me the money. I need to rent a house in the Youth League Institute so that I can find a way to return to the city as soon as possible." Shu Ruxue said to Xu Ziying.
"I really owe you. Why don't you just live in a rent-free room?" How could Xu Ziying be willing to pay?
The mother and daughter finished talking and left the room. Li Gang and Xu Ziying looked at each other, and after getting Xu Ziying's hint, Li Gang's expression relaxed a little.
Xu Ziying said, "Minglang, Yanyan, go help your sister, Shen Zhiqing, clean up her room. Take the two new straw mats from home and use them to make the kang."
"Okay, Mom." The brother and sister replied happily. Li Minglang went back to the house to get two straw mats and followed Shen Mubai and the other sister.
The three of them arrived at the educated youth site. The old educated youth had already gone to work, only Nangong Ruochen was still sitting under the shade of the tree reading a book, watching over two winnowing baskets to dry the grain.
"Nangong Zhiqing, you haven't gone to bed yet?" Shu Ruxue greeted Nangong Ruochen happily when she saw him.
Nangong Ruochen did not take his eyes off the book, and did not answer Shu Ruxue's words, as if he did not hear them.
Li Yanyan hurriedly whispered in Shu Ruxue's ear: "Sister, this Nangong Zhiqing is cruel and ruthless, you'd better not provoke him."
"If you want to, sister, you can just go home and live. It's not like we don't have a place to live at home, so why do we need to clean it?" Li Minglang said, looking at the room. He knew that this house needed rent, and the rent was enough for him to buy a few pieces of meat.
"Yes, sister, we still live in the same room like before." Li Yanyan looked at Shu Ruxue's bag of clothes with envy in her eyes. My sister’s biological mother must be very rich, because those little leather shoes, Lenin suits, and skirts all looked brand new.
"Your elder sister has come to our brigade as an educated youth. When she is done with her rest, I will introduce you to each other." Shu Ruxue's eyes flashed with a gleam. Her younger brothers and sisters didn't know the truth and really thought she was a child of the Shu family.
"Is she easy to get along with?" Li Yanyan asked.
"That's hard to say. You'll know after you get along with her." Shu Ruxue didn't want to say anything good to Yun Siying.
"Sister, do you think she will recognize her parents?" Li Yanyan felt a little curious and a little jealous about this sister whom she had never met. In short, her feelings were very complicated.
