"Hey... hey! Hey!..." The car suddenly shot forward, and as Lin Wenbin bent down and reached out to pull the door, he was thrown back harshly, grinding his teeth in anger, "Jing Zhe, are you trying to kill ?"
"Serves you right!" Jing Zhe replied with a smirk, glancing at him from the rearview mirror, "Didn’t you complain about my driving? How would you know how good I am if I didn’t show off a little?"
"Chuxia, are you hurt?" Lin Wenbin, ignoring him, turned and looked over Chuxia sitting next to him, "You didn’t hit yourself, did you?"
Chuxia shook her head: "No."
"That’s good." Lin Wenbin visibly sighed in relief.
Before stepping on the accelerator, Jing Zhe had made a face at Chuxia. Feeling guilty about Lin Wenbin’s reaction, she awkwardly touched the back of his head, "Does it hurt?" He had bumped his head on the back of the seat when he was thrown back.
"It’s fine, the back of the seat is soft." Lin Wenbin said, glaring at Jing Zhe, "Don’t be so reckless next ti. I’m a big, tough guy, a little bump is okay for , but what if Chuxia got hurt? How could you dare hurt my beautiful sister like that?"
Jing Zhe was also annoyed by his own recklessness, and his tone beca surprisingly gentle: "Yes, yes, it’s all my fault. I won’t be so careless again. Sorry, Chuxia, I’m not a qualified brother. I need to learn from Lin Wenbin in the future."
"That’s more like it." Lin Wenbin, pleased with himself, raised an eyebrow, "Chuxia, from now on I’m your closest brother, Jing Zhe cos second."
"I’m a year older than you, why should I be second?" Jing Zhe protested.
"Because of your recklessness just now."
Thinking about how he had already taken advantage of Mikang Zhou and beca the eldest nephew, Jing Zhe stopped arguing: "Fine, I’ll be second, as long as I can be your brother, it’s okay."
Xiaolin Village was only about ten miles from Poer Village, and driving there took just about seven or eight minutes. The brothers hadn’t settled who was eldest and who was second when they already arrived at their destination.
Chuxia stuck her head out to look around, completely unsure of where to turn, she said, "Brother, I can’t rember which alley it was, stop the car, I’ll go down and ask."
"I’ll go." Lin Wenbin quickly opened the car door and got out, only to see a shadow rushing out from a house next to the parking spot. Before he could react, the figure had already crashed solidly into the car door...
"Ouch!"
"Oomph!"
The voice screaming in pain up front was the shadow’s—her head had hit the door fra.
The voice of pain from behind was of course Lin Wenbin’s—the car door had solidly squeezed against his chest.
"Brother, are you okay?" Chuxia quickly moved to the outside, looking over Lin Wenbin with concern, "How are you feeling now?"
Lin Wenbin, grimacing in pain, gasped, "Just give a mont to catch my breath. This unexpected bump really knocked the wind out of ; it feels awful."
Jing Zhe had already gotten out of the car and helped the shadow up. It was a girl, her hand on her forehead, her face streaked with tears, "Where does it hurt?" he asked eagerly, but she just continued to stare at him tearfully without a word.
Chuxia quickly got out from the other side of the car and moved beside the girl: "Tell my brother where it hurts. He’s a doctor and can make the right call."
At that mont, a man in his twenties ca out from the house, frowning deeply at the girl: "Did the car hit you?"
"None of your business." The girl retorted, biting her lip as she looked towards Chuxia, "I recognize you."
"Huh?" Chuxia quickly tried to rember. She had visited Poer Village a few tis with Zhao Qihui, recognizing the girl seed familiar, yet she couldn’t recall exactly whose family she was from.
"Your na is Lin Chuxia, right?"
"Yes." Chuxia responded with an embarrassed smile, "Sorry, I couldn’t rember at the mont."
The girl’s lips twitched slightly: "I’ve been to your house."
"Been to my house?" Chuxia suddenly slapped her forehead, "Are you also Lin Chuxia?"
"Yes, it’s ," the girl nodded. "I recognized you right away."
"You cut your hair," Chuxia said with an embarrassed smile. "You looked familiar, but I couldn’t place you. Oh, aren’t you from Xiaoxia Village? Are you here visiting relatives?"
The girl nodded. "Sothing like that. I didn’t expect to run into you here. You’re doing well, aren’t you? Oh, weren’t you in the army? Why are you back?"
"I ca back for so business and have to return the day after tomorrow. Are those tears because it hurts?" Chuxia asked uncertainly, pointing at the tear stains on her face, wondering if it could really hurt that much.
"It’s not because it hurts, it’s none of your concern..." the girl looked at Lin Wenbin, "You’re okay, right? I was in too much of a hurry, couldn’t stop in ti, I’m really sorry."
Lin Wenbin, who had caught his breath, waved his hand, "Since you share the sa na as my sister, it’s also fate. It’s fine, accidents happen."
"Then I won’t disturb your important matters, I’m heading ho now," the girl waved at everyone and was about to leave when Chuxia grabbed her. "Your ho is more than ten miles from here, are you really going to walk?"
"Yeah, it’s just over an hour by foot..." Chuxia said with an embarrassed smile. "We’re poor, we don’t have a bike, last ti I borrowed one."
After thinking it over, Chuxia said, "Then get in the car. I ca to pick up my eldest maternal aunt, my aunt, and my sister to go to my grandmother’s place, and then I have to head to my younger aunt’s place. Your village is right next to my younger aunt’s village, so I can drop you off on the way."
"No... no need," Chuxia hesitated visibly.
"It’s not a special trip for you, just on the way," Chuxia said, pulling her into the vehicle. "Having the sa na is fate too."
Chuxia’s eyes reddened slightly. "I almost took your place, and not only are you not angry with , but you also treat like this."
Chuxia shook her head, smiling. "It wasn’t your fault. If you had done it on purpose, of course I’d be mad. But as it stands, you were also a victim, falsely jubilant for nothing."
"Alas!" Chuxia sighed deeply, tears flowing again. Chuxia knew she must have encountered sothing, but since they weren’t close, it wasn’t appropriate to pry, so she just patted her, "Get in the car, you’ll get through whatever difficulties you’re facing."
"Okay," the girl complied and got into the car.
By now, Jing Zhe had already found out how to get to Li Aiyuan’s parents’ place, so everyone got into the car and took a winding route toward the Li family ho.
Poer Village was unlike Dalin Village and Xiaolin Village; the kids were used to seeing cars co and go and didn’t think much of it. By this ti, a bunch of children were running behind the car, their giggling and laughing making the whole village lively.
...
Today was Old Master Li Jinshan’s seventieth birthday; the house was packed with relatives. The old master, in a good mood, had drunk a bit too much and was quite addicted to lecturing his children and grandchildren when the noise from outside reached him. He imdiately grew unhappy and instructed his grandson, Li Luping, "Xiaoping, go see what’s going on?"
Li Luping quickly got up, "Yes, Grandfather, I’m on it." But before he could step out, Chuxia rushed in energetically, "You’re here?" Seeing Chuxia made Li Luping quite happy, but after speaking, he rembered the room was full of people and it wasn’t his place to speak, and his face flushed red.
"Chuxia, what happened?" Li Aiyuan quickly stood up, realizing there must be sothing urgent for Chuxia to co at this ti, and Zhao Yushan also stood up, anxiously looking toward Chuxia.
"Everyone, sit down!" Old Master Li waved his hand commandingly. "Today I am the birthday boy, since when did it beco your turn to speak?"
"Dad, Chuxia coming here at this ti must an there’s an urgent matter, you..."
"What urgent matter?" Old Master Li glared at his daughter then turned his gaze to Chuxia. "Little girl, you’ve been to my house quite a few tis, haven’t you? Today is my birthday, how should you behave?"
Chuxia quickly responded, "Happy birthday, Grandfather. I wish you fortune as vast as the eastern seas and longevity surpassing the southern mountains!" She silently blad her grandmother for not telling her that her aunt’s family was here for her grandfather’s birthday. If she had known, she would have brought a gift. Now, showing up empty-handed at soone’s birthday party, what was she to do?
"You can’t just say it, co and drink a cup," the old master pointed to a small cup of liquor on the table, "Xiaoping, fill up a cup for Chuxia. I hear our little Chuxia got married and didn’t even give wedding sweets. Today, both penalty and reward; drink up! After you drink this cup, Grandfather won’t hold a grudge, but if you dare not to drink, Grandfather won’t acknowledge you in the future!"
"Grandfather, I can’t drink," Chuxia said and turned to run outside, while Li Aiyuan glared at her intoxicated father, "Dad, she’s just a kid, how can you force her to drink?" She quickly followed her daughter out.
"This is really not fun," Old Master Li pouted discontentedly, looking toward Zhao Yushan. "You want to leave too?" Then pointing to Zhao Qihui who was moving toward the door, "You, stop right there! Today is Grandfather’s birthday, how can you be so thoughtless of ?"
"Grandfather, we do care about you, and you’re in the most important place in our hearts," Zhao Qihui placated and signaled to Li Luping, who quickly approached, ingratiatingly smiling at the old master, "Grandfather, you are always the core of our family, always leading us in our forward direction. You are the guiding light, you are the blazing gun..."
"Pfft!" Chuxia, holding a large bag of snacks, couldn’t help but burst out laughing; what kind of ’blazing gun’ was that...
Li Luping, too, turned beet-red, stumbling over his words.
"Grandfather, this is a little token of our affection for you and Grandma," Chuxia said, smiling apologetically at the old master. "There really are a lot of guests over at my grandmother’s place. Grandfather, you see?"(The story continues. If you like this work, welco to Qidian (qidian) to vote with recomndation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.
