Chapter 212: End of Summer

Cheng Li certainly didn’t do this to cheapen her brother and open a harem for her brother with her own considerations.

Jo Rei is the formidable enemy of formidable enemies.

If she divided her brother’s life into two halves, the first half would be hers, her sister’s, and the second half would be Zhao Ren’s.

Instead of letting the uncertainty that was Zhao Ren make progress with his brother in places he didn’t know about, it was better to put it in his sights and keep an eye on it.

Her brother didn’t dare to be intimate with Zhao Ren in front of her, and if her brother was bold enough to be that fat, Cheng Li could have shouted, “I want it too.”

How could she lose when her brother was above and below her! She’s won too much.

At the end of summer, the weather was still very hot and dry, without the slightest hint of autumn, Cheng Ming and the others’ clothes dried quickly.

The dirt road just after the rain is a bit soft, easy to dirty shoes, Ren wears sandals, just wash your feet later.

Cheng Li wore small white shoes, completely unable to get off his feet, opened his arms and shouted, “Brother carry me.”

“Yes yes.” Cheng Ming said as he squatted down.

“Xiao Ming, you’re also spoiling Xiao Li too much.”

“Hmph, it’s only natural for a brother to favor his sister, even if Sister Jingyi is my brother’s girlfriend she won’t be able to steal this position from me.”

“I’m not going to take that spot from you, I’m not a kid.”

“The other positions aren’t allowed for you either.” Cheng Li said as she hugged Cheng Ming’s head.

“Don’t block my eyes ah, can’t see the road.”

The vision was dark Cheng Ming flailed his hands around, not daring to walk blindly, one hand touched Lin Jingyi’s chest, and a soft touch came from it.

Lin Jingyi didn’t slap Cheng Ming’s hand away, instead she held down the back of his hand and pressed it well so that Cheng Ming couldn’t draw his hand back.

“Where are you touching, brother! Hurry up and let go.”

“You’re the one who has to let go first!”

“Huh. ……”

Zhao Ren covered her mouth and snickered.

“Ren, what are you laughing at?” Cheng Li asked.

“Nothing, it just feels like everyone would be happy to stay together.”

The crowd arrives at Zhao Lei’s home and greets Grandpa Zhao Si, who is playing chess with an elderly man in the neighborhood.

The yard wasn’t piled up with all kinds of rags like it usually was; there wasn’t as much time to collect rags if you had to watch the store, and collecting rags was an unclean job anyhow.

If you make people feel that the store is not hygienic instead, you will lose out.

Zhao Lei took off his apron and said, “You guys eat first, remember to tell me which dish isn’t good, I’m going to go look at the store first, and then come back to change when you’re full.”

“I’ll go watch the store, you guys eat.” Zhao Si said.

“Stay and eat together, when we came back, we took it upon ourselves to close the door of the store, it’s not bad to open the store for a while, we still have to talk about whether Xiao Ren is boarding or not.” Cheng Ming said.

“Well? Has she decided to board yet.”

“Actually ……”

Cheng Ming wanted to say something, by him to say that letting Xiao Ren live in his house, it always felt weird and scheming.

“Xiao Ren is not boarding, I want Xiao Ren to live in our house.” Cheng Li raised his hand and interjected.

Well done, worthy of my sister.

“Won’t it bother you guys to live in your house? Your house isn’t that big, so it’s better to live at the school honestly.”

“My family is in a unique situation, there are two homes now, neither of my parents live with us, and there are other people living in the house on borrowed time, two very good-tempered and well-spoken people, and now there’s a spare room ……”

Cheng Ming made a long story short, explaining the relationship between his dad and mom, which is now so complicated that it can make people dizzy around.

There were two empty rooms though, a master bedroom and a sister’s room. But Dad doesn’t know if he’ll come back to sleep, so let’s call it one room.

“So ……”

Zhao Lei was still a little hesitant, not because he was worried about whether Cheng Ming could take care of his sister, but because he felt that the embarrassment and favor was too heavy.

“Ren’s brother, let me tell you, my brother’s studies are so good, he got 695 in the midterm, and in order to teach me how to study, he didn’t study in the first middle school, but specially went to the second middle school which doesn’t have any evening study, just so that he can teach me how to study in the evening time.”

“When brother teaches me to study he also teaches Rei’s homework by the way, by brother teaching us, we can also pass the score line of the first middle school, when the time comes the first middle school and second middle school as we pick.”

Cheng Ming touched his nose in embarrassment, being praised by his sister so much that he almost believed it himself. But Fifth Middle School also requires evening self-study, although good grades or being far away from home can apply for exemption, like Chen Ziyi and Zhao Lei.

“Sister Jingyi also said just now that the conditions for boarders are not good, girls have to use buckets to catch hot water to take a hot bath, I have a hot water heater at home, and a bathtub to soak in, I eat meals cooked by my brother and my mom, which is a hundred times better than the cafeteria, I sleep comfortably, and most importantly, Xiaorui won’t be bullied by her classmates … …”

Speaking of this, Zhao Lei remembered the time he was taunted and provoked by Fatty Li and ended up fighting and being expelled from school, that was undoubtedly his biggest pain in the ass, still too young. If he didn’t fight at that time, at least he wouldn’t have been expelled from school.

“Well, I think so too, anyway, to board, Cheng Ming’s house is definitely better than the school.” Zhao Lei nodded and said, “What about Ren’s opinion?”

Cheng Li hugged Zhao Ren, rubbing non-stop said: “together, together, I always want to have a playmate of the same age, I have no friends, live in my house can often see Jingyi sister oh.”

Cheng Li finally made the killer move, and Zhao Ren looked over at Lin Jingyi, who returned her smile with a slight nod.

“Well, Brother Cheng Ming …… then I’ll be disturbed for the next three years.” Zhao Ren bowed towards Cheng Ming and said.

It could be not just three years, but three years and three years.

“No where, I was counting on you to teach Ri what it means to be well-behaved.”

Cheng Li puffed up his cheeks and retorted, “Brother, where am I not well-behaved and understanding.”

You’re just not well-behaved and understanding anywhere, ah, if Rei lives in, her sister will be somewhat restrained, right, at least do not dare to kiss again or something.

“Cheng Ming, my sister is counting on you.” Zhao Lei said as he patted Cheng Ming’s shoulder.

I didn’t expect that the words would come out of Zhao Lei’s mouth so far in advance.

Cheng Ming said energetically, “I will definitely fatten her up.”

Zhao Ren clasped her arm with one hand, hung her head low and said, “Brother, I’m sorry for arguing with you before, I didn’t know you were doing it for my own good.”

“Silly girl, I didn’t take it to heart, brother’s brain is stupid and doesn’t understand any great reasoning. But I know you must study hard, in the future, if you can get into college, it is also considered to give our family to raise eyebrows.”

“All come over and eat, the food is getting cold.” Grandpa Zhao Si shouted.

“Coming coming, my stomach is starving.” Cheng Li flew towards the dining table with open arms.

Something like Zhao Ren wanting to stay at Cheng Ming’s house still needed to be told to Grandpa Zhao Si.

First go to the first middle school, and then get into a good university, Cheng Ming this pie seems to draw a big.

But Cheng Ming knew that his sister and Rei would definitely get into the first grade.

Rei doesn’t have to worry, it’s just her sister, she’s too playful, can’t see that she wants to study hard at all.

Although Cheng Ming has no problem raising one or two loser sisters, that’s not what mom and dad think.

Zhao Si said several “good” in a row and said with old tears in his eyes, “You must strive to make your mother who abandoned you regret it.”

After the meal, the three girls gathered up the dishes and went to wash them.

Zhao Lei handed an envelope to Cheng Ming and said, “This amount of money is even my sister’s living expenses, I know that you may not see this small amount of money money, I also rely on you to have today.”

“No, no, just one more mouth to feed, no expenses.”

Cheng Ming pushed the envelope back.

“No, it’s a matter of principle, or Rei won’t be able to live comfortably.”

The envelope became crumpled as the two older men played with it like middle-aged amazons.

Lin Jingyi asked, “Xiao Ming, what are you guys doing?”

“Wow, brother, that’s disgusting.” Cheng Li raised his arms and said contemptuously.

Cheng Ming obstinately not enough Zhao Lei, if this continues, he will really be treated as a strange person.

“I’ll take it then, and use this money to buy new clothes for Rei.”

“Anything.”

“Right, Zhao Lei, you take Xiao Ren to report to school tomorrow, come to my house for lunch, tomorrow is the weekend, my mom is off, she’s been wanting to treat you guys to a meal, it’s just the right time to tell her about Xiao Ren staying at our house.” Brainstorming, Cheng Ming suggested.

Although this matter was an impromptu idea of Cheng Ming, but according to the nature of the old mom will certainly be warm hospitality to them.

“Good.”

“Why don’t you come to the school to teach Xiao Ren on Friday when school is over, and then send her to my new home on Sunday afternoon, the specifics will be agreed upon depending on the time of their respective dismissals, I have to pay a visit to the village head’s house next.” Cheng Ming said as he lifted up the pre-prepared gifts.

An old man pushed open the wooden door and asked, “Why is your store closed? I want to buy two loose cigarettes.”

“Eat and shut the door, I’m on my way.”

Zhao Lei took the key and ran out.

“I’m going with my brother.”

“I’ll go too.”

Zhao Ren fondly hugged Lin Jingyi’s arm and said, “I want to stay with Sister Lin.”

After sitting for a while at the village headman’s house, he excused himself and headed for the old house.

After this side of the old mansion had been cleaned as a secret base to a level of cleanliness where it could be lived in, and before they could have some fun here, something happened to Jing’s family.

When I came back to the old house after a month, another layer of dust had accumulated.

With nothing else to do, it took the crowd another half hour to wipe down the tables, chairs, bedpans and such.

During the cleaning period, there was another drizzle in the sky.

Unlike the drizzle of the morning, the rain gradually picked up in the late afternoon, rather like the last roar of the summer rains.

Cheng Ming was carrying Xiao Li in his arms and Lin Jingyi was holding Xiao Ren, sitting on the bamboo mat to rest and watch the rain.

“Ah ……”

Icy cold raindrops landed on the back of Lin Jingyi’s neck, and startled, her petite body trembled as she let out a cute yelp.

“Sister Lin, what’s wrong with you?” Zhao Ren turned around and asked.

“Xiao Ming, the roof seems to be leaking.” Lin Jingyi said as she covered the top of her head.

“Because the roof is broken, let’s move it.”

Cheng Ming had also thought about repairing the old mansion. Although it couldn’t escape being demolished after fifteen years, and demolition would even be on the agenda due to Cheng Ming’s presence, it would be enjoyed sooner to live in it.

It is this dilapidated. The old mansion that would leak was the place where Cheng Ming was full of memories, catching water with a washbasin and a plastic sheet, climbing up to the roof to put tiles ……

“Jing Jing, they’re asleep.” Cheng Ming said as he poked his sister’s face.

“Are you trying to do something bad again?”

“Hasn’t this been dry for days?”

“But your mouth, kissing hurts, right?”

“It hurts more not to kiss, and it hurts my heart.”

“Oily mouth, I’ll just kiss it, lean in with your mouth and keep the noise down so you don’t wake them up.”

The two couldn’t free their hands and had to hold the girl in their arms, relying only on their mouths and tongues, rather more exciting than the usual position.

“Ming, show me your mouth again.”

“What’s wrong?”

“It doesn’t seem like this is where I bit, does it?” Lin Jingyi pondered.

“Eh, yeah? Maybe I didn’t protect my mouth and the wound spread to that area.”

“In this way ah …… it seems that in the future you really can’t bite your mouth, Xiao Ming, it’s going to be the start of the school year, so the times we see each other will become less, right?” Lin Jingyi said as she leaned on Cheng Ming’s shoulder.

“I don’t have a late night, so I can come and stay with you after your late night.”

“But if I don’t come home first thing from school, Mom and Dad will wonder where I’ve been fooling around.”

“Let’s just say we’re together, ah, this doesn’t seem to work either.”

We can’t say they were studying together late at night.

“Even if there’s no night study, you still need to study hard, what a waste of time to make a special trip to see me, right? If you have this heart, you might as well brush up on a few more papers and memorize more words and ancient poems. It’s true that we should be in the same school, Xiao Ming, I want to bite you again.”

“I thought I said no biting?”

“I don’t bite my mouth, I bite other places.”

Lin Jingyi used her teeth to bite Cheng Ming’s collar, pulling it downward to reveal the flesh of her left shoulder, and opened her mouth to bite it, leaving her mark.
