Geng Shuhuai opened his eyes wide and looked at Geng Wen in surprise. Could it be that his father... was taken away from him like what was written in those books of strange stories?
These words really didn't sound like they were coming from his mouth.
Geng Shuhuai glanced at Geng Wen steadily, but when he heard no more changes, he looked at Geng Xingshuang again.
Geng Xingshuang knew what her brother was wondering about. She raised a big smile at him, then reached out and grabbed his dirty sleeves, dragging him towards Qingcui Courtyard.
"Brother, on such a hot day, standing under the sun for a while can make you tan. You are afraid of the dark and I am afraid. If you don't go back, I won't accompany you!"
Geng Shuhuai was very happy to see that his sister was not estranged from him because of growing up and not seeing each other for two years, but he still pulled away Geng Xingshuang's hand holding his sleeve and said: "I don't know how many pounds of dust are stained on my clothes. It's smelly and rancid, wait until I go back and take a shower and change into clean clothes before I take you out to play."
It was like the sister in front of her was still the six or seven-year-old girl who asked her second brother to take her out to play whenever he was in the house eight years ago.
The family of four returned to Qingcui Courtyard chatting and laughing. Jinzhan and others had already prepared hot water, brought new clothes, and laid out toiletries.
"Second brother, these clothes are all drawn by me based on the sizes you wrote back. Mom made them with her own hands. Go and wash them. After washing, come out with new clothes and show them to us."
Geng Wen wanted to ask Geng Shuhuai a few words first, but when he suddenly came back, he felt a little unsure.
But before he could think of how to speak, Geng Shuhuai had already been sent to wash up by Geng Xingshuang. He glanced at his daughter and felt that his status in this family would plummet in the future, although he didn't have much status now.
Geng Shuhuai washed quickly, and when he came out wearing a royal blue summer dress, Ruan couldn't help but nodded, "This is much better, it can finally catch your eyes."
"Mom, what do you mean by this?" Geng Shulou's eyes widened.
Ruan quickly covered her mouth. Her voice just now was very low and she could only talk to herself. She didn't expect that her son's ears were so good that he could hear it.
"Nothing, I just said that the style of your sister's clothes suits you very well."
Geng Shuhuai was not so easy to dismiss. He looked at Geng Xingshuang and said, "Sister Shuang, what did mother mean by what you said just now? Do you think you dislike me for becoming ugly?"
"Um... what mother means..." Geng Xingshuang received Ruan's gaze and tried to smooth things over, "it means that you have grown taller and stronger. I was worried that your clothes would become too small, but now It looks like it will be good and very pleasing to the eye.”
Facing Geng Shuhuai's suspicious gaze, Geng Xingshuang nodded firmly, "That's it!"
"By the way, you just said that you came back with Qing Mo. His parents are not at home. When he comes back now, Yang Mansion may not help him prepare summer clothes. The previous sizes are no longer suitable. His summer clothes are not suitable for him. The clothes are made together with yours, Mrs. Xiao, please go and send the clothes to Yang Mansion yourself."
Geng Xingshuang opened her mouth and wanted to stop her. As soon as Yang Qingmo came back, their family kept sending them clothes, which made her feel a little unhappy.
"It's time to send him away. After he came back from... outside this time, he was in a hurry to return to Ningdu, so he only brought two changes of clothes. He had eaten and slept in the open on the way, and he couldn't wear any of them. Brother Yang is a man. Second sister-in-law Yang is just a sister-in-law. Grandma Yang treats him well, but she is not a successful person. There must be nothing at home."
Before Geng Xingshuang said anything, Geng Shuhuai was the first to express his agreement.
Geng Xingshuang looked at Geng Shuhuai and felt that his attitude towards Yang Qingmo had changed a lot. Whether it was from what he said when he returned home or the description in the letter, the relationship between the two was indeed very good. It could be said that They are friends of life and death. Indeed, when it comes to matters of life and death, it is very good, but in daily trivial matters, these two people usually provoke and retaliate, one is angry and furious, and the other looks at it calmly. The opponent was furious and even asked Hongfu to grab his paws from time to time.
According to this characteristic, Geng Shuhuai should be more opposed to giving clothes to Yang Qingmo than himself.
Facing his sister's puzzled eyes, Geng Shuhuai abruptly changed the topic, "I'm already hungry, Sister Shuang, is Ruyi Tower far from our home? When can we get this dinner!"
Forget it, there is no rush at this moment. When Yang Qingmo comes tomorrow, she will get some truth from him.
"It's still early, and it's not time for dinner yet. If you're hungry, second brother, just eat some snacks first..."
Just as he was talking, Geng Xingchen's voice came from outside.
"Sixth sister, I heard that second brother is back?"
As soon as he finished speaking, people also arrived in the courtyard.
Geng Shuhuai hurriedly greeted her, "Seventh sister, we haven't seen each other for two years. She has grown taller again and is even more beautiful. She is now a big girl!"
Geng Xingchen stood still and blinked, "It's really the second brother. Second brother, how did you become so...so...tall and mighty?"
The two pauses were a complimentary adjective that Geng Xingchen took great pains to come up with.
Geng Xingshuang was overjoyed when she saw this.
I think she is really a sister. She has a filter for her brother. Even when she first saw her brother, she almost thought he was a big black bear, but she could still accurately identify herself on that dark face. Familiar facial features.
"That's natural. When I walk on the street now, I stand out from the crowd."
Geng Shuhuai was very proud.
Geng Xingchen twitched the corner of his mouth and moved farther away from Geng Shuhuai.
Geng Shuhuai was a little confused and a little aggrieved, "Seventh sister, what are you doing? You dislike the second brother for being dirty. The second brother has already taken a bath."
"No, no, second brother, you misunderstood. It's just that you are so tall. If I stand close to you, wouldn't it make me look very short?"
Upon hearing this, Geng Shuhuai made a gesture on Geng Xingchen's head with his hand, and nodded in agreement, "That's true. You and Sixth Sister have indeed not grown much in the past two years. You... should probably grow again, right?"
"It will grow naturally!"
"Second brother, you just said that I have grown taller!"
Geng Xingshuang and Geng Xingchen spoke out almost at the same time.
"The second brother said something wrong. You will definitely grow taller than the second brother. You are still young."
Geng Shuhuai saw the wide eyes of his two sisters and had to hurry up and be careful.
"Okay, can you all come in quickly? The sun hasn't set yet. Are you standing in the yard? Don't you feel hot?"
Ruan's words allowed Geng Shuhuai to escape.
"By the way, Sixth Sister, I saw Jinbao coming with Master Tao. Did you invite her to come to the banquet?"
As soon as he entered the room, Geng Xingchen asked, "Well, we are in for a treat tonight. I just don't know if the kitchen has prepared enough food. If not, I don't know if I can buy it now. How about Master Tao?" It's easy to come here, but you have to ask her to cook all her specialty dishes so that her trip won't be in vain."
Geng Xingchen was drooling as he spoke.
Geng Xingshuang had a look of confusion on her face, "I just asked Jinbao to go to Ruyi Building to order a table of noodles made by Master Xiaoyu. Why did she invite people back?"
But this was better. She was just surprised. Didn't Master Xiaoyu have to cook in Ruyi Building?
After a while, Jin Bao came back and solved Geng Xingshuang's confusion.
