At noon the next day after my sister called, she asked me to have a meal with Xiaohua, and by the way, she brought me the manuscript fee slip and sample journal sent by the magazine. This time she came to me, and the second sister Pan Ruqi also came with her.

The second sister Pan Ruqi went to college in Beijing, because the school had not yet started, she first came to H City with her sister Ruqin to play for a few days, visited me and Xiaohua by the way, and then went north.

Because Xiaohua and I didn't go home for the New Year, my parents asked my sisters to bring us some dried vegetables and bacon at home, and the two sisters brought them together this time.

The second sister Ruqi has a big round face, surprisingly white skin, a slightly chubby figure, slightly taller than the eldest sister Ruqin, medium appearance, eyes complete the crescent moon when she laughs, blush bulges on both sides, and she looks capable and shrewd. Although his appearance is not outstanding, he is the most blessed one among our four sisters.

The second sister is more talkative than the eldest sister, articulate, enthusiastic, and especially good at dealing with people. We made an appointment to meet at a restaurant, and in order to meet them, I put on the new clothes that my eldest sister had bought for me, and put on light makeup, so that they would not see my pale complexion for days.

The eldest sister loves tweed coats, this time wearing a moon-white tweed coat, surrounded by a dark blue silk scarf, sitting quietly in a corner, bowing her head and smiling, very oriental charm; The second sister has a red short down jacket on her upper body, a pair of skinny jeans with black boots on her lower body, a gold plated belt on her waist, and her hair is permed into the popular curls, tied up high with a headband, and her face is full of red light.

"Oops, little book, I haven't seen you for a long time, it's getting better and better!" Seeing me come in, the second sister stood up first and hugged me very warmly.

"Second sister, eldest sister." When I greeted the second sister, I didn't forget to cast a mischievous look at the eldest sister. The eldest sister smiled at me, and I saw motherly pity in her eyes again.

"Little ghost, why are you so skinny? Now it's thinner than a small painting, right? Oh, what did you two sisters do, don't you have money to buy you food? One by one, they are as thin as white bones, you look at the second sister, who went to Beijing to study for two years and gained several pounds. The second sister's mouth is like a machine gun, and her words are fast and direct, she has been like this since she was a child, and her personality is slightly arrogant among the sisters.

I'm not used to facing the second sister's harshness and directness, just smirking vigorously, and a few words as a concurrence.

She pulled me to sit beside her, and I looked at my eldest sister, who understood what I was thinking at the moment.

She took out the well-packaged sample from her bag, handed it to me, and said with a smile: "Look at it, you said you didn't want to submit it, look at it, isn't it won?" ”

I was overjoyed, and hurriedly took it, opened the express with great urgency, took out the sample journal, found the table of contents, and then found my article and pen name from the titles, and then opened it. When I saw the familiar words neatly and clearly turn into lead words and become part of the magazine, my eyes instantly moistened, and my hands couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Yo, you wrote this? Let the second sister take a look. The second sister didn't notice my expression, snatched it and took a cursory look at it, and then said with a smile: "Xiaoshu, you can still write love stories, have you ever been in love?" Did you go to college? I also write campus love stories. ”

The second sister's words made me embarrassed.

"If it's like chess, Xiaoshu is thin-skinned, don't make fun of her." The eldest sister couldn't help but open her mouth.

The second sister couldn't help laughing, she said, "I'm joking, sister." Xiaoshu and I are not popular in the eyes of boys, so we can only joke with each other. Which is like you and the small painting, from small to large suitors constantly. ”

The second sister's laughter was really exaggerated, and her voice was loud, and as soon as she spoke, she attracted the sideways eyes of the people in this restaurant.

Hearing the second sister say this, many people in the restaurant subconsciously glanced at the eldest sister. The eldest sister couldn't help blushing, took a sip of orange juice very unnaturally, and then said, "Don't say it, it's embarrassing." ”

"What's so embarrassing, if I have a boyfriend like Meng Changqing, I hate to offer him like a Buddha every day. Sister, you have been luckier than me since you were a child. Unlike me and Xiaoshu, we are born to be hard. Little book, huh? The second sister was talking, and she picked me up again.

I nodded hurriedly, not paying any attention to what she was saying, only noticing the unnaturalness of the eldest sister. The second sister sometimes speaks too harshly, and likes to compare with others in everything, because the eldest sister has always been top-notch since she was a child, so the second sister sometimes inevitably has thorns in her words.

When we were chatting, Xiaohua came late with Xu Song. The first day, I told her that my two sisters would come over to let her prepare, but when she called in the morning, she still forgot about it, and it didn't come to this point that she and Xu Song rushed over.

When Xiaohua and Xu Song walked in front of us holding hands, the second sister got up suddenly, first stared at Xu Song in surprise for a long time, and then "tsk" several times in disbelief, and then hugged Xiaohua and said enviously: "Xiaohua, are you looking for such a handsome boyfriend, do you want to envy my sister to death?" I don't know if my sister can't stand the stimulation, bring such a handsome man over. ”

Xiaohua has had a relatively close relationship with her second sister since she was a child, probably because they are both extroverted. The second sister will say, the small painting will coax, the two complement each other, you bragged and made love to me for a long time, and completely left Xu Song aside.

I stood up and walked to the side of the eldest sister and sat down with the eldest sister, pointed to the position next to the second sister and smiled at Xu Song and said, "Xu Song, sit down." ”

Xu Song then sat in the most window-by-window position, and the second sister wanted to sit down immediately, but Xiaohua coughed slightly, and the second sister immediately said: "Xiaohua, you sit in the middle, and my sister sits on the side." ”

The three of them quickly chatted, mostly about their respective schools. The second sister is a student of a key university in Beijing, naturally smug, and infinitely proud in her tone; Xiaohua and Xu Song talked about their school, and they were also full of interest.

The eldest sister then pulled me and chatted quietly, she first rolled up my sleeve and compared my arm with her hand, and said distressedly: "It turns out that we are almost the same, look at you, you are now thinner than me." ”

"It's okay, sister, I'll take care of myself." I said quickly.

"You," she grumbled half-truthfully, before taking me by the hand and saying, "How's it going, are you happy to publish your debut?" ”

I nodded heavily and smiled sweetly and unabashedly.

Xu Song picked up the sample magazine, held it in his hand and read it carefully. After a while, he raised his head and said, "This story is very good, the style is fresh, the writing is unique, and the storyline is also very exciting." ”

"It's written in small letters." The eldest sister responded with a smile.

Xu Song suddenly glanced at me in surprise, probably not expecting the author to be me. He gave a thumbs up and said, "I didn't expect Xiaoshu's writing to be so good." ”

As soon as Xu Song said this, Xiaohua immediately picked up the magazine and looked at it, and said slightly unhappy: "My sister loves to write such unrealistic stories, how can reality be!" Sister, I think you won't be so unrealistic in the future, save yourself from being hurt by scum! ”

"I don't think it's unrealistic, everything is possible, and we can't deny this feeling because we haven't experienced it." Xu Song said again.

Xiaohua suddenly became even more unhappy, and reached out to pinch him hard: "Hey, are you my boyfriend or Xiaoshu's boyfriend?" Why do you always turn your arms outward? ”

When Xiaohua said this, everyone laughed.

The second sister quipped: "It's all my own family, it's not the same where I turn it, anyway, the fertilizer and water don't flow into the fields of outsiders." ”

"Second sister!" Xiaohua shouted coquettishly, pretending to be shy: "Hmph, you know how to make fun of me." If I knew you didn't bring your boyfriends, I wouldn't have brought them either. ”

"I wanted to bring it, but there was no handsome guy for me to bring. What about your eldest sister, finding a boyfriend is like finding a rare treasure, just afraid that she will be snatched in front of me and snatched by me, how can she bring it over? The second sister was joking half-truthfully, but from this joke, I still heard a little different meaning.

Sisters sometimes have a good relationship, but because of their different personalities, it is easy to have differences. The eldest sister has been too good since she was a child, so the second sister is always slightly inferior in all aspects; But the second sister is a master who refuses to admit defeat and has a strong personality, so she likes to compete with the eldest sister in everything.

Compete for favor in front of parents, compete for favor in front of teachers, she will try her best to get anything that the eldest sister is interested in or simply keep it for herself, and even the boys who like the eldest sister have to try their best to become friends. In the past, the eldest sister was not interested in love at all, as long as it did not hinder her study, she was up to the second sister to fight for it; But for Meng Changqing, the eldest sister really wanted to promise him a lifetime, so she was a little wary of the second sister.

But this little bit of vigilance, the second sister has already sensed it, and it is inevitable that she will be dissatisfied. The subtleties of sisterhood can be seen.

"That's right, eldest sister, you should call your brother-in-law over, otherwise our family Songren will be restrained when he is alone with three beautiful women." Xiao Hua also joked with a smile.

Since that accident, Xiaohua has also calmed down and talked about falling in love with Xu Song in a down-to-earth manner. I don't know where they have come so far, if they have a closer relationship. But depending on the situation, Xu Song is becoming more and more in love with Xiaohua, but I don't know what he will think once he knows what Xiaohua experienced that day.

"Next time, Meng Changqing went to his mentor's house today to pay New Year's greetings, and he didn't have time to come, otherwise he would come together." The eldest sister has her own calmness, no matter how much everyone jokes or instigates, she is indifferent. This innate calmness and calmness is something that I am particularly eager to learn but difficult to achieve.
