Kang Li shook her head, "No, I must accompany you both, otherwise I won’t be at ease."
"What’s there to worry about?! I rember the bus routes we need to take. We only have to transfer once, and it’s right in front of your little brother’s office. Your mom and I won’t get lost."
Captain Kang was adamant, "Besides, you have to make lunch for Ruirui. If you accompany and your mom to see your little brother, wouldn’t Ruirui be left hungry? Oh, and Yangyang doesn’t need to co either. He has to pick up Ruirui from school and then take Ruirui to..."
Before Captain Kang could finish, Kang Yiyang spoke up, "I have no objections."
Kang Li: "If you don’t want to accompany you, that’s fine, but Yangyang must accompany you. As for picking up and dropping off Ruirui, I’ll take care of it." Having said that, Kang Li instructed Kang Yiyang, "Take good care of your grandparents on the road. I will write down clearly on paper which bus to take, which bus to transfer to, and at which stop to get off."
Upon hearing this, Kang Yiyang glanced at his grandparents and then at his little aunt, finally nodding, "Okay."
Kang Li took out paper and pen from the drawer in the coffee table, and with a "swish," she wrote down the bus routes, the transfer points, and the stops to get off at clearly. She also wrote the office phone number of Kang Guoan on it, saying, "Keep this paper safe. You rember the phone number at your little aunt’s place, right?"
"I rember."
Taking the paper Kang Li handed to him, Kang Yiyang looked it over carefully and said, "I will take good care of Grandpa and Grandma, and after we et Uncle, I’ll bring them back the sa way."
"If, and I an if, you encounter any problems on the way that you can’t solve, rember to ask nearby police officers for help, and don’t forget to find a way to call ho."
She pulled out twenty yuan from her pocket and handed it to Kang Yiyang, "Take this money for the bus fares. Oh, and Cai Xiu will get so al tickets for you. In case you can’t make it back during al ti, you can take your grandparents to a nearby state-run restaurant for a al." With that, Kang Li turned her gaze to her parents, "I’ve packed so things to give to my brother when you visit him!"
Cai Xiufen: "Your brother has everything he needs since he lives at his unit. Don’t waste money buying this and that for him."
Kang Li smiled, "I haven’t wasted any money. I’ve just asked you and dad to bring him so snacks."
Captain Kang: "Your brother isn’t a three-year-old kid. Why send him snacks? You’ll just spoil him!"
Kang Yiyang chuckled softly.
Kang Li defended her brother Kang Guoan, "Dad, my brother and I are the sa age. If I am still a child in your and mom’s eyes, isn’t my brother one too? And I don’t think you and mom have ever spoiled my brother!"
"I’m saying you spoil your brother. Don’t say you don’t. Every ti your brother used to call ho, he would ntion what food and clothes you bought for him. Anyway, every ti your brother cos to you, you never let him leave empty-handed."
Captain Kang felt for his darling daughter, thinking that his younger son was thoughtless, not buying anything for his sister, yet always being looked after by her in every aspect. When he saw that rascal, he would have so serious words for him.
"Dad, I care about my brother. You don’t know, every weekend when he’s free, he buys a lot and brings it over to , and he also takes care of all the heavy and tiring chores at ho, not letting suffer the slightest hardship.
As my brother’s sister, of course, I should be nice to him as well, right? So occasionally, I buy him so clothes and prepare so snacks to take with him, it really doesn’t cost much."
