    Chapter Index

    Cheng Ming’s trio ate special chow mein for lunch and ice cream for dessert in the game room.

    Cheng Li looks at the crane machine and jumps at the chance to try it out, intending to make a clean break, and very much in the spirit of refusing the help of Cheng Ming and Chen Zi Yi.

    To ask where her bottom line came from, it was of course the red ticket given by her mom, which was supposed to thank Chen Ziyi for her imaginary help and treat her to a big meal.

    Cheng Ming told Chen Ziyi the reason for the money.

    Chen Ziyi hilariously laughed so hard that she almost forked over, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, “Now it’s really a third of my credit.”

    Before spending the money, Cheng Ming solemnly asked, “Is it okay?”

    Chen Ziyi waved her hand indifferently and said, “It’s okay, it’s okay, the watered down steak in the western restaurant isn’t as flavorful as the beef chow mein here.”

    “If you have the energy to chat, why don’t you come and fight with me in the King of Fighters, I’ve been practicing in seclusion for two months, you’re definitely not a match for me now.”

    “How dare you.”

    Cheng Ming is coy in reality, Chen Ziyi moves on him, he does not even dare to put a fart, can only pretend not to see.

    Hit hard in the game, if you dare to touch me, I’ll make you fall to the ground and empty your blood bar, Ola Ola ……

    I kind of made up for not playing War of the Three Kingdoms last night in the afternoon.

    Cheng Li’s side of the harvest is not small, with their own strength to catch cats and puppy ragdolls, the shark’s still difficult to clip.

    Although there are already quite a few sharks in the house, she doesn’t mind having one or two in her new home.

    “Brother, we should almost go back.” Cheng Li said as he pulled on Cheng Ming’s coat.

    “Are you leaving? What time is it, it’s not even dark yet, are you elementary school kids?”

    Chen Ziyi slightly reluctant to give up, the Three Kingdoms Warriors have not yet passed, I do not know when to wait until the next time to play together.

    “There’s really a fresh graduate, we promised mom we’d be back by four, it’s three-thirty now, just right to go back, let’s call it a day.”

    “Say hi to your moms for me, and just tell them I had a great time eating.” Chen Ziyi playfully smiled.

    “I will.”

    “Sister Chen, goodbye.”

    Cheng Li held Cheng Ming’s big hand and waved goodbye.

    “Bye Ri.”

    After seeing the two of them off, Chen Ziyi sat down where Cheng Ming had sat and leaned over the arcade table.

    It’s strange how time passes so quickly when you’re with him.

    Obviously he has a girlfriend, what the hell am I doing!

    “It’s not like I’m going to lose a piece of meat by letting me win one, gasp, gasp.”

    Chen Ziyi raised her foot and kicked the arcade.

    “My aunt, go easy on me, this machine is troublesome to repair, if you want to vent go to the nearby gym and hit the sandbags.” Chen Jun said heartily.

    “Uncle, stand where you are.”

    “What for?”

    “Hit the sandbag ah, it’s too much trouble to run to the gym to punch the sandbag.” Chen Ziyi said as she “swooshed” and waved her small fists.

    “Speaking of which, I know a family that sells sandbags, how about customizing a special one to hang in your office for a couple of punches when you’re not doing anything.”

    “Get it, I want to see it tomorrow.”

    “The customization’s not that fast, give me a month to get close.”

    “Surely it’s quicker to hit your uncle.”

    Cheng Ming drove his sister on a trip back to her new home to put the captured Muppets on her bed before heading to Jing’s house.

    Cheng Li looked at the pitted floor tiles in the compound and said with disgust, “I haven’t been back here for years, and it’s actually still so broken, it’s really bad that Sister Lin’s family can afford to live here.”

    “It’s only been three years since we moved away from this side.” Cheng Ming said with a bitter smile.

    The exterior finishes of the silo have been quite eroded by the rain.

    The hallway was dimly lit, a furry layer of heavy dust had accumulated on the overhead wires and light bulbs, and the banisters of the stairs were rusted and smelled faintly of rust.

    “Wow, that’s dirty.”

    Cheng Li subconsciously touched the railing and was directly hit.

    “Then don’t rub it on me either, go wash your hands later.” Cheng Ming said as he grabbed his sister’s wrist.

    The front door of Jing Jing’s house was open, and at a glance I saw the three of them, Mom, Jing Jing and Auntie Ren, sitting on the bench peeling beans.

    “You’re finally here, just talked about what time you’d be coming. Did you treat your classmates well? You didn’t enrich yourselves?” Li Ying asked skeptically.

    “Of course not, Sister Chen said the steak was delicious.”

    “Sister Chen? Referring to Chen Ziyi?” Lin Jingyi asked.

    Cheng Ming nodded slightly and winked at Lin Jingyi.

    I’ll explain it to you later.

    The understanding Lin Jingyi didn’t pursue the matter further.

    Cheng Li, on the other hand, noticed the red rope that Lin Jingyi was wearing on her hand, all three of them were wearing it, no, it was four of them.

    Ren Mei opened her arms and said, “Xiao Li, it’s been a long time, have grown into a little beauty, quickly let auntie hug.”

    “Hello Auntie Ren.” Cheng Li jumped into Ren Mei’s arms and rubbed her chest affectionately.

    Ren Mei lovingly touched Cheng Li’s little head and said, “Good boy, good boy, Jing Jing doesn’t even like to be pampered with me, has she reached the age where she hates her parents.”

    “Mom, don’t keep treating me like a child.” Lin Jingyi stomped her foot and said.

    “You’ll always be a kid to Mom and Dad.”

    Cheng Li turned her dirty little hands and asked, “Auntie Ren, where can I wash my hands? My hands are so dirty.”

    “I’ll take you.”

    Cheng Ming, who had nothing to do, also sat down and peeled beans together.

    After washing her hands, Cheng Li sneaks into Lin Jingyi’s room to look for hard evidence that could solidify the relationship, “Wow, what’s all this stuff.”

    The paper basket was full of paper balls, Cheng Li casually picked up a paper ball and spread it out, and the two words written on the page were “like”!

    The other paper clusters were full of green and fleshy love words.

    Disgusting, how do you like your brother to this extent, obviously just a childhood friend.

    There was also a handful of pink envelopes on the table.

    No doubt the envelopes and letterheads were of the same style, and what was written in these scraps of paper was even more telling.

    It was actually Lin Jingyi who confessed first.

    Was she born again too? But can you write this kind of stuff at thirty?

    My brother’s whole body drifted at the thought that she would marry him in fifteen years, and he agreed straight away, surely!

    Still trying to hide it from me. I guessed it.

    “Mom, Auntie Ren, something big is wrong, brother and Sister Jingyi are in love, early love! I saw these things in Sister Jingyi’s room, and there are also love letters from Sister Jingyi to brother at home.”

    Cheng Li ran into the living room dancing with the envelope and crumpled letterhead with an expression of the sky falling.

    “Ahhhhhh, Rhi, how can you go through other people’s stuff.”

    Lin Jingyi instantly panicked.

    I forgot to put it away, I forgot to take the trash out, and I’m just sorry, so very sorry, for being such a big, lazy fool.

    “Really? You two are friends? Tell me the truth?” Li Ying questioned as she pinched Cheng Ming’s ear.

    “Uh ……”

    Cheng Ming looked at Lin Jingyi and asked for her opinion, but Lin Jingyi shook her head like a rattle drum, very resistant.

    But Cheng Ming didn’t want to hide this matter, even his sister had found out, it wasn’t something that could be rounded off with a lie.

    Cheng Ming, who was too lazy to make excuses, simply admitted it decisively.

    “That’s right, we got together after the midterm, Auntie Ren, please give your daughter to me.” Cheng Ming said in a serious manner.

    “Ming, what are you talking about!”

    The mortified Lin Jingyi pushed Cheng Ming and covered her burning cheeks, not daring to look at anyone.

    Ren Mei covered her mouth and laughed softly, “You two were betrothed as children, but it’s a new era, so we don’t engage in that kind of stuff and didn’t mention it to you.”

    Li Ying dryly coughed and said, “Ahem, the two of you have reached the age where you want to fall in love, your Auntie Ren and I are not the kind of rigid parents, as long as it doesn’t affect your studies, we won’t beat up the lovebirds and stop you.”

    “But if your academic performance drops, when the time comes, don’t blame us for not reminding you, we’ve watched you grow up since you were little and know your roots, Xiao Ming is also considered half my son, handing Jing Jing over to him will put your father and I at ease.”

    “Aiya, Jing Jing being our family’s Xiaoming’s girlfriend is the blessing of eight lifetimes, studying well, being well-behaved, taking care of people, helping out with household chores, you can’t even find it by picking a lantern.”

    “In comparison, this brat of mine only likes games, I’m afraid if he’s going to be a bachelor for the rest of his life.”

    Even if brother is a bachelor, he still has me as his sister. It would be good if he was really a bachelor, Cheng Li said bellyachingly.

    “Like to play games can still test 695 points, shows that Xiaoming brain smart, not dead book nerd, flexible brain, later into society, very eat.”

    “Jing Jing has a good figure and looks pretty, Xiao Ming just looks a little more durable, often stays up late and has heavy dark circles under his eyes, he looks very unrefined.”

    “It’s not like being a star, boys don’t need to be too handsome, the inner is more important, the dark circles under the eyes are probably left over from staying up all night reading, Jing Jing didn’t wear dresses for so many years, only recently she was willing to wear them, and she giggles a lot, I knew there was something fishy about it!”

    “Mom!”

    Lin Jingyi shouted out, stop revealing her daughter’s shortcomings.

    I should say it’s so true that biological mothers brag about other people’s children and belittle their own.

    Cheng Ming and Lin Jingyi were both a little embarrassed by the compliments, and even said something like “Bigger butt, better for having a son”.

    “I’m not giving you my brother.”

    Cheng Li burrowed into Cheng Ming’s arms and made a face at Lin Jingyi.

    “Xiao Li and Xiao Ming are still so close.” Ren Mei sighed.

    “That’s right, you’re all grown up and you’re still ‘I’m going to marry my brother’, you’re not ashamed of yourself.”

    “Mom!”

    It would be Cheng Li’s turn to yell.

    “You know you’re embarrassed now?”

    “It’s good to have two children, when mom and dad are busy at work, they can keep each other company and won’t be too lonely, but I had my tubes tied early, so there’s nothing I can do.” Ren Mei shook her head and said.

    “Both of you couples are civil servants, so don’t fool around, if you want children, let Jing Jing have a few more in the future, and you’ll help bring them up when you retire.”

    “You have to move out of the silo before that happens, and watching all the coworkers around me move out and the only people left living here are old people and tenants makes you feel years older every time.”

    Lai Ying asked, “Have you thought about where to buy a house? Let me get some advice, I still know a little bit about the market.”

    “I’m planning to buy one near the first middle school, but the houses over there are all a bit old, they’re all second-hand, and they’re not much more comfortable to live in than here.” Ren Mei clustered her eyebrows and said melancholically.

    “The house on Hongyuan’s side is not bad, and it’s not very far from the first middle school. But Xuejun wants to avoid suspicion and doesn’t dare to buy a house on his side for fear of being gossiped about.”

    “He is this person is dead face live suffer, in the city building bureau to climb and roll so many years also can not rise, Hongyuan go out to start a business to break out of the hall of fame, back then if with you guys to give up the iron rice bowl on the good.”

    “It’s all because of the loan that we made it big, if we make one wrong step, we’ll become an old scoundrel. But the house over there is big enough to serve as a future bridal home, but the children will be able to earn money on their own later on, and may not be able to look at the bridal home we have prepared.”

    Cheng Ming and Lin Jingyi were facing each other, how come they were talking about the wedding room.

    Cheng Li pinched the flesh of Cheng Ming’s thigh and coldly glared at Lin Jingyi.

    Hmph, you can only be proud of yourself now, you will have to suffer and wear a green hat later.

    There was no better girlfriend blocker than Lin Jingyi, knowing oneself and one another was one aspect, and having a higher tolerance for the matter of one’s fondness for clinging to one’s brother, one had already gotten used to it.

    If she hadn’t been reborn, Cheng Li had planned to be her bridesmaid and wear a white wedding dress. Before the wedding, she ate her brother, hehehehe, so that her brother would be drenched in her smell and blood to pay her respects.

    Weddings, which are supposed to require the color red.

    In this life, this plan can also be implemented.

    The worst case scenario would be sharing her brother with her, and the best case scenario would be that she didn’t find herself further along in her relationship with him.

    But surely my brother won’t wait until the wedding day to eat Lin Jingyi, so spirited every morning, I’m afraid I can’t resist finding two pieces of pork.

    They wouldn’t have done it already, would they?

    No, no, no, it doesn’t look like it. There’s no sign of a broken melon.

    The love letter was delivered yesterday, only a day ago, and I’m sure I’d be mobilized if I did it.

    Preventing the two of them from stealing food, she had to keep a close eye on them, even if they took off their pants and she barged in with a confused look on her face, would they dare to fight in front of her sister?

    But there is always a slip-up, and it’s impossible to successfully catch an adulterer in the act every time.

    The only way to solve the problem was to go to the source, and drain the brother first so he didn’t think that way.

    My mouth hurts, I’m slow to get it if I just use my hands, and I have no place to put it, and spilling it on the sheets and comforter doesn’t work either.

    I wonder if they sell gray machine cups now? Can’t really use pork.

    The use of props is also easy to expose, if brother suddenly woke up, she will not be exposed? The stolen goods, no use of props directly pretend to sleep is good, brother will only think he had a strange dream.

    If she didn’t hide it well and her brother found out, her sister’s career would be over.

    And it’s so wasteful to serve it in a grey machine cup, it’s better for her to eat it, perfect for destroying the evidence, do it a few more times and when you get used to it it won’t stick in your throat as much.

    As the crowd chatted and handled the greens and fruits, Ren Mei walked into the kitchen and called out, “Jing Jing, the salt and chicken essence in the house are running out, go out and buy a few packets back.”

    “Good.”

    “Xiao Ming, quickly accompany Jing Jing, don’t watch TV.”

    Li Ying yanked Cheng Ming up from the couch.

    “Stop by and pick up a grass carp and a bottle of sweet chili sauce and come back, I’ll show you guys what I’m doing today.”

    “I’ll pay for the fish.”

    Ren Mei grabbed the money.

    “No, no, a fish is only a few dollars.” Li Ying pushed the money back.

    Ren Mei said obstinately, “It’s my treat today, so how can I make the guest pay for it.”

    “We wouldn’t have to distinguish anything from each other, we were already good friends and neighbors, and now we’re even closer.”

    Only when Li Ying said this did Ren Mei gladly accept.

    “Let Jing keep the money, Xiao Ming, like his father, spends a lot of money, a few dollars in his pocket hate to spend it all.”

    Lai Ying gave Cheng Ming another fillip.

    “Ahahaha ……,” Lin Jingyi chimed in with a dry smile and said, “So we’re out the door, saltpeter, chicken essence, grass carp and sweet chili sauce right?”

    “Going to the grocery store? I’ll join you ……”

    Before Cheng Li’s words could fall, he was deadlocked on the sofa by Li Ying.

    “Just don’t run off and make a mess, be a good boy and watch your TV.”

    Ah, mom is actually a staunch Lin Jingyi party, didn’t she say that mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law don’t deal with each other? I don’t think it’s a good idea to play favorites like this.
