Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, it was still a one-day weekend.
On Saturday afternoon, Chen Meng’er carried her small pink schoolbag on her back. With one hand, she pulled her eldest brother, Chen Haoguo, and with the other hand, she pulled her second brother, Chen Haoxuan, back home.
The three of them saw the black car parked in front of their house from afar. Because this car had come to the village many times, the people of the Chen family village were no longer surprised by this car. The rarity of the car had also dissipated a lot.
“Grandpa Liu has sent someone to pick you up to the city again. Can you tell Grandpa Liu to take me there too? I also want to see what the city looks like.” Chen Haoxuan’s eyes had been red for a long time, today, when he saw the familiar car from afar, he couldn’t help but look at Chen Meng’er expectantly.
As for Chen Haoguo, he didn’t say anything, but if one looked carefully, his eyes would sparkle with stars. Obviously, Chen Haoxuan was also full of yearning for the city.
“Yes, okay. When I go to Grandpa Liu’s house this time, I’ll tell him that I’ll bring you guys to the city next week to play.” Chen Meng’er understood her eldest brother and second brother’s hearts, so, she readily agreed.
“Yeah, that’s great. You’re the best.” When Chen Haoxuan said that his sister was the best, he was so excited that he jumped three feet high. The surrounding villagers could not help but look at him inquisitively.
There was even a villager who directly asked, “Little Xuan, what’s so exciting?”
“Uncle, next week, I want to go to the city to play with my sister,” Chen Haoxuan replied with a bright smile on his face.
The moment Chen Haoxuan said this, Chen Meng’er heard a woman’s sour voice, “I don’t know what kind of dumb luck this little girl from Chen Ping’s family had, to actually gain the favor of the Master of the city and acknowledge her as an adopted granddaughter. She’s now flying up to become a Phoenix.”
“Alright, you don’t have to be sour anymore. It’s not her fault for being so good-looking. Look, which child in our village is better looking than her?”
Chen Meng’er did not take the sour words of the villagers to heart at all. If they wanted to say something, she ignored them.
“Little Miss, Sir has something on, so he asked me to pick you up.” Da Peng saw that Chen Meng’er had returned and quickly got out of the car.
“I understand. I’ll go and tell my parents, then we’ll set off.” Chen Meng’er looked at the sky and saw that it was not early. She did not want the sky to get dark and she was still on the road.
“Okay.” Chen Meng’er’s meaning was the same as what Da Peng was thinking.
Chen Meng’er carried her small schoolbag and went in to inform her parents. After that, she prepared to go out for a ride. However, before Chen Meng’er got into the car. Chen Haoxuan did not forget to remind her, “Meng’er, don’t forget to tell Grandpa Liu.”
“Yes, I got it. I won’t forget.” When Chen Meng’er heard her second brother, Chen Haoxuan’s words, black lines appeared on her forehead. She did not realize that her second brother was so concerned about going to the city. “See you tomorrow night.” As Chen Meng’er said this, she opened the car door and got into the car.
After the car started and set off, Liu Juan asked, “Little Xuan, what did you ask your sister to tell your Grandpa Liu?”
“I asked my sister to tell Grandpa Liu that I’m going to the city with my sister next week.” Chen Haoxuan grinned, showing his little white teeth, and replied with a smile..
