“Okay! Big sister, we’ll listen to you.”
“Me too.”
“Me too.”
The three sisters all expressed their opinions, looking at Su Wen with excitement and adoration, their eyes so pa.s.sionate that they could melt someone.
Su Wen was embarra.s.sed!
“Ahem ahem… Hurry up and eat!”
“Okay!”
This time, the three sisters learned from Su Wen’s example and ate slowly. It was merely a pancake made with whole grains and egg, paired with pickled vegetables, but they ate as though they were at a state banquet.
Su Wen was very satisfied. In the future, even if they were to go to the provincial capital, they would not be inferior to anyone there.
“Don’t be nervous. If you want to talk, talk. If you want to chat, chat.” She had never thought of raising her younger sisters according to the standards of n.o.bles.
Deep down, she was from the countryside, so she would not look down on people from there. On the contrary, she liked them very much.
“Big sis wants you to learn manners and etiquette, not because you’re not good as you are. On the contrary, I want you to be better, stronger, more confident, and be a person with inner strength. Don’t feel inferior; don’t back down.”
Su Wen was afraid that she had overexerted herself, so she earnestly reiterated herself.
“Big sister, don’t worry! We understand.” After all, Su Qing was the second child. When she was young, her mother, who was an educated youth, had taught her carefully.
“Me too.”
“Alright!” Su Wen looked at Su Qing with satisfaction, and her evaluation of her second sister increased a little.
After dinner, as usual, little sister Su washed the dishes, Su Xiu went to boil the bath water, and the four sisters took turns to shower. By the time they were done, the sky had already turned dark, and they went to sleep.
*****
The next day, Su Qing was the earliest to rise. After cooking taro porridge, everyone else woke up.
Su Qing and Su Xiu went to work together after breakfast.
Su Wen took a basket and brought little sister Su to the village chief’s house to look for Aunt Chunyan. On the way there, she met a man in a vintage long-sleeved white shirt and navy blue pants. He was wearing a pair of old-fashioned and ugly black-rimmed gla.s.ses, and was laughing and chatting with Su Pingfan.
Su Wen hated Su Pingfan so much that she didn’t even bother to look at him.
However, little sister Su’s expression was unusual, and Su Wen immediately understood.
It was Zhao Jiangang!
Upon closer inspection, Zhao Jiangang was about 1.75 meters tall and looked very refined. The eyes hidden behind the gla.s.ses were shining like a mouse, greedily sizing up Su Wen, his eyes filled with dishonesty.
Su Wen wanted to laugh. Zhao Jiangang’s sinister expression was almost written all over his face. Was the original character blind? She was actually so infatuated with such a person.
Her man was 1.86 meters tall, had six-pack abs, was handsome and cool, and was masculine. He was simply a walking hormone. She actually didn’t like him, but liked this kind of pretty boy.
In fact, Su Wen was wrong.
In her eyes, Zhao Jiangang’s black-rimmed gla.s.ses were old-fashioned and ugly, but they were the most popular now and the standard of the cultured people in the city. A white shirt and navy blue pants were even rarer and sought-after, the kind that came with its own filter.
In addition, Zhao Jiangang was good at putting on an act and coaxing people, so there were many girls who liked him. Zhou Hengyang, on the other hand, had a cold and hard personality. His eyes were so sharp that they seemed to be able to see through people. The original character was subconsciously afraid of Zhou Hengyang. In addition, Zhou Hengyang never coaxed her, so she was easily deceived by Zhao Jiangang.
Zhao Jiangang and Su Pingfan had been working together for a long time, deliberately harming educated youths in the countryside in various production teams. It was impossible to count how many people had been defiled. There were even cases of pregnancies and miscarriages that resulted in illnesses due to poor recuperation.
The two of them were locals, and the educated youths were from outside and were under the supervision of the brigade, so they could only bear with it even if they were dumped.
“Cousin, what are you busy with?” When Su Pingfan saw Su Wen, he gave Zhao Jiangang a meaningful look and walked over with a big smile on his face. “Cousin, brother-in-law is here to see you.” After he finished speaking, he even winked, thinking that he was humorous.
Su Wen was repulsed.
