Song Jingtong, 12 years old, is Song Chenyang's younger sister. She will go to junior high school in the second half of the year. The two siblings are six years apart. Song Chenyang has been particularly fond of this sister since she was a child.
Song Jingtong is also very attached to her brother Song Chenyang. As long as Song Chenyang is at home, she is Song Chenyang's little follower.
The town's primary school is not far in front of the fertilizer store, so most of the time, the little girl doesn't go home after school at noon.
When Zhang Feng delivers food to Grandpa Song Chenyang, he will also bring the little girl's lunch. After eating, the little girl will take a lunch break in the store and go directly to school in the afternoon, which saves time.
Song Chenyang still remembers that dream clearly for the rest of his life!
After the family was in trouble in the previous life, the little girl was going to college. In order to reduce the burden on the family, the sensible sister often worked part-time during school and suffered a lot.
Later, Song Chenyang's business failed and he went south to work. His sister Song Jingtong not only had to work during the day, but also had to take care of her elderly grandfather and grandmother when she returned home from work.
Until I was 27 or 28 years old, let alone traveling, I was very frugal in food and clothing. At that time, the agricultural supplies store at home was closed, and my grandparents were getting older and were prone to illness.
The little girl not only had to go to work but also take care of two elderly people. Her monthly salary was only three to four thousand yuan. She was so frugal that she was reluctant to spend money on dressing up, so she used all the money to support her family.
But the little girl never complained about anything. Instead, she took good care of her grandparents, and her parents no longer had to worry about working outside.
In fact, when Song Chenyang thinks about it now, he really wants to slap himself a few times.
This should all be the responsibility of being an older brother!
In the end, he let his sister take on the responsibilities that should have been his.
"Tongtong! Do you miss your brother?"
Song Chenyang suppressed the guilt in his heart, looked at his sister and asked with a smile.
Song Jingtong looked at her brother, nodded quickly, and asked with a charming look on her face: "I think so! Brother, are you on vacation?"
"Yes! Are you happy?"
Song Chenyang nodded and said with a smile.
"Great!"
The little girl was very happy when she heard this.
"Yangyang is back?"
Song Chenyang's grandfather also came in at this time, looking at his eldest grandson with a kind face and said.
The old man is tall, 63 years old, with a Chinese character face, short gray hair, and wearing a blue work coat. This is also the deepest impression of his grandfather in Song Chenyang's heart.
Zhang Feng looked at the old man who came in and couldn't help but show off: "Dad, your eldest grandson said he can get into a first-class university!"
"oh?"
After the old man heard this, the smile on his face became deeper, and the look of affection in his eyes when he looked at Song Chenyang became even stronger.
"My eldest grandson is still very good. I know that my Yangyang is a college student. This time our family will have to do something big."
The old man said with a smile on his face.
Song Chenyang did not refuse the old man's arrangement. After all, in the rural areas of northwest China at this time, it would be a great joy if a college student was born in someone's family.
And for parents and grandparents, hosting a college entrance banquet for Song Chenyang is also an achievement for them.
Because if there is such a college student in our family, the old man will have more face when he goes out and walks on the road.
In the afternoon, Song Chenyang has been helping in the store. The little girl took a nap at noon and went to school at 2:30. Song Chenyang has been helping the old man carry fertilizer to customers.
It wasn't until after closing at 7pm that I headed home.
Zhang Feng had gone home early in the afternoon and prepared a sumptuous dinner with her grandma.
When Song Chenyang returned home, he was already ravenous.
Since breaking through the border, my appetite has not only increased greatly, but I also get hungry very easily. If I hadn't bought two steamed buns to eat this afternoon, I probably wouldn't have been able to hold on until now.
"Eat slowly!"
Seeing that his sister Song Jingtong was holding a pig's trotter and chewing it, her hand was not steady and almost fell to the ground, Song Chenyang said softly.
The little girl raised her head, showed a sweet smile, then lowered her head and picked up the pig's trotters without caring and started to chew on them, her mouth full of oil.
"Come on, Yangyang, take a few sips."
At this time, the old man took out his treasured Xifeng wine and poured a glass for Song Chenyang.
Song Chenyang took it and took a sip of the wine. He felt a surge of heat in his stomach, and then it melted away. After the spicy taste in his mouth, the aroma of the wine lingered for a long time.
After putting down the wine glass, Song Chenyang filled a bowl of rice again and started to eat. The grandparents beside him looked at their grandchildren eating, with the love in their eyes lingering.
There are four meat and four vegetarian dishes on the table, including braised pig's trotters, stewed pork ribs with potatoes, donkey meat in clear soup, stir-fried mutton, cold cucumbers, cold shredded potatoes, bean sprouts with leeks and cold tofu.
The portion is quite large, which Song Chenyang specifically reminded his mother Zhang Feng when she came home in the afternoon.
After eating four large bowls of rice in a row, Song Chenyang went to put rice in the pot again and found that there was no longer enough for one bowl.
He immediately turned around and asked Zhang Feng: "Mom, are there any more steamed buns?"
Upon hearing this, Grandpa and Zhang Feng looked at Song Chenyang as if they were looking at a monster.
They say that a young man must live in poverty. According to Song Chenyang’s way of eating, ordinary families really can’t afford it!
Sister Song Jingtong also looked at her brother with a blank expression, as if she didn't recognize her brother.
Even pigs are not so edible!
Grandma suddenly asked with a worried look on her face: "You ate so much at noon, how can you still eat it so well? Is there any problem?"
The family had already eaten, and they were chatting and eating with Song Chenyang. In the end, Song Chenyang was basically eating alone at the table.
There was a table full of food, and most of it went into this kid's stomach, but he wasn't full yet?
Zhang Feng looked at his son and asked with some worry: "Son! How long has it been since you last eaten? Can't you feel full after eating so much?"
Song Chenyang added the little rice in the pot to the bowl. After sitting down, he looked at the strange looks in the eyes of the family and then explained: "Two days ago, I broke through and reached the realm of refining Qi!"
Hearing this, the old man said with some confusion: "Didn't your master say that you would have to be in your twenties to enter this realm?"
Naturally, his family also knew about Song Chenyang's situation and knew something about it.
But this kid is only 18 years old! Is this beyond the realm of tempering muscles, bones and skin?
It’s quite incredible, because according to Master Song Chenyang, it would take at least ten years for the average person to get through this stage!
Song Chenyang shook his head and said: "I don't know either! Anyway, I just entered this realm."
"There are steamed buns, just wait for mom to get them for you."
After hearing that her son had broken through, her mother Zhang Feng quickly came to her senses and got up to get the steamed buns.
"Brother, have you become a peerless master?"
Song Jingtong opened her eyes curiously and asked Song Chenyang with admiration on her face.
"Yes! Are Tongtong happy?"
Song Chenyang couldn't help but tease when he heard his sister's innocent words.
Hearing this, the little girl quickly gave a thumbs up to her brother, squinting her big eyes and praising: "Brother, you are so awesome!"
