Chapter 36: Freemasonry
After school that afternoon, Zhicheng and Xuelian went to the library building as usual, talking and laughing, and he went there with her every afternoon to tutor in English, and there were a large number of foreign language books and English materials in the library.
"Zhicheng, it's been more than half a month since I left home in the blink of an eye! Homesick? Xue Lian asked him with concern.
"How can you not think about it, it can be said that I am in my thoughts all the time, alasβthe last time I came from home, my family was busy harvesting autumn. I don't know how I'm busy now. β
Xue Lian looked at his sad face and said, "Don't worry about that idleness, anyway, there are uncles and aunts at home." Rest assured! You can't be blind to any crops, so don't worry about it. β
Zhicheng bit his lip and said, "You don't know, my parents are quite old." Alas, I can't help much. β
When Zhicheng thought of his elderly parents at home, he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.
"Then let your brother and your sister-in-law help you do something! Are you separated? Xue Lian smiled and covered her little mouth and said, "By the way, I've been with you for so long, I don't know how many brothers you have!" How old are you in your family? Xue Lian stared at him with great curiosity and a series of questions.
Zhicheng smiled bitterly and said, "I don't have a brother above!" My parents are just my son. β
"Oh, that's right! Then let your sister and your brother-in-law help for a few days! A daughter is more filial than a son. β
Xuelian felt that since Zhicheng said that he didn't have an eldest brother, and his parents were so old, there must be a few sisters above.
"Xuelian, don't be funny, okay? Where did I come from, sister! I'm going to have a sister again. I'm the only one in our family. β
"What? It's justβit's you. No...... No way! Xue Lian stared at him in disbelief with her eyes full of surprise and said, "You are also an only child!" I thought you had a lot of brothers and sisters. β
Zhicheng said embarrassedly: "I would like to have a sister or sister, but unfortunately I don't have that blessing." β
"Really? Then let's be brothers and sisters! It just so happens that our family is my own, and we both belong to the end of the world. β
Xuelian learned that Zhicheng was also alone, and immediately felt a feeling of sympathy for the same disease, and said with deep feelings: "I thought I was unlucky in this world, and I had no relatives." To be honest, I never thought that your father and mother would be your baby. Then why didn't they have two more in the first place? β
Xue Lian stuck out the tip of her tongue slightly, and said: "When I lived in the countryside when I was a child, every family raised two or three dolls, and in our rural dialect, it was a group of children, so I really didn't believe it when you told me that you were an only child." If only I could run into you when I was young, we would be companions. Every time my mother went to see me in the countryside, I would pester my mother and ask, Mom, why don't I have an older brother and younger brother, you can give me more brothers! At that time, I thought that having a baby was like buying apples. When I was a child, whenever I asked my mom where I was from, my mom would always twist my cheeks and tell me that you jumped out of the cracks in the rocks. I stared at my mother with little black eyes and asked curiously, which stone crack! Show me...... One sentence left my mother speechless. My dad stood by and laughed. My grandfather blushed. Cluck...... Since your parents are your precious son, then you must be very delicate at home! People say that there are only delicate sons, not delicate daughters. He also said that ten girls are not as good as one lame. Is that what we say in rural areas? β
Zhicheng smiled and said, "Hmph, in my opinion, even if you have eighty-two sons, it is better to have a daughter like you." β
Xue Lian glanced at him with beautiful eyes and said with a sneer, "My God, you are so funny." That's a shocking statement. She teased at him, "Am I that attractive?" You wouldn't be 'in the picture' (fanciing) me to say that, would you? Cluck...... Bite? I really got it right! Why don't you blush? Okay, okay, I'm not messing with you. We've been together for so long, why are you still so shy! β
The two came to the entrance of the stairs, and Xuelian handed him the "Historical Records" in her arms and said, "Zhicheng, you can help me get it first!" I'll be there then. β
Zhicheng took the book and said a little puzzled: "What! What's wrong with you? Why don't you go up together? β
"Oh, and it didn't ...... Nothing. I just want to ......" she pointed to him with her hand to the bathroom not far away, and pouted, "Got it?" Xiaoice Slipper. My grandmother's eldest daughter came. Snow Lotus blushed and glanced at him.
Zhi twisted the corners of his clothes with his hands like a little doll who had done something wrong, how could he guess the subtle and tortuous meaning of Xue Lian's words.
