The Age of Rebirth: Struggle of the Eldest Daughter

Chapter 36 It's okay, I'm here

Zeng Meiyue opened the shop as soon as she came back from her mother's house, and continued to do business in the afternoon.

Su Manjin put the New Year's money given by her grandfather into the "code box", then sat at the table and looked through the set of extracurricular reading materials for elementary school students that Uncle Sheng Rong had given him years ago.

Su Manjin put it away in the house after collecting it at the time, and only now noticed that there was a beautiful bookmark on the book case.

It reads: "There are three ways to read, that is, the heart, the eyes, and the mouth. If the heart is not here, the eyes will not be careful, and the mind will not be focused, but it will only read randomly. It must not be memorized, nor can it last for a long time. Three In the midst of arrival, the heart is the most anxious, and once the heart is here, how can the eyes and mouth not care? - Zhu Xi's "Xunxuezhai Regulations."

This set of twelve books are all phonetic versions, including: "Three Character Classics, Hundred Surnames, Thousand Poems", "Complete Works of Grimm's Fairy Tales", "Three Letters to Young Readers", "Idiom Stories 365", "Contemporary Chinese Children's Poems" Selections", "Up and Down 5000 Years" and other familiar classics.

Su Manjin murmured: "Uncle Sheng Rong has put his heart into it. It is really suitable for reading in elementary school. It just happens to show Xiao Jinyang."

Among them are several books that Su Manjin has never read in her entire life.Rarely free today, she took "Up and Down 5000 Years" from the set, sat by the bed, and read it with relish.

After reading it for a while, I remembered the dynasty rhetoric I learned in my previous life, and somehow felt that it was very suitable for this book, so I sat back at the desk, picked up a pen, and wrote it on the title page of the book.

"Three emperors and five emperors began, and Yao, Shun and Yu were passed down. Xia Shang and Western Zhou, and Eastern Zhou were divided into two sections. Spring and Autumn and Warring States, unified Qin and Han. Three were divided into Shu, Wei and Wu, and the second Jin was extended. It's over."

The little girl is alone in the house, flipping through the book, entertaining herself, but it is also leisurely.

The sound of hurried footsteps "da da da" came from outside the house, the corners of Su Manjin's mouth slightly raised, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Xiao Jinyang running in like a hot wheel.

Su Manjin smiled and touched his younger brother's little head: "Didn't my sister tell you, walk well, don't rush around, so as not to hit you!"

Xiao Jinyang smiled and said: "I know, sister~~ A little brother came to the yard and said he wanted to find you~"

"Who is it?" Su Manjin was puzzled.

"Sister, I asked." The little guy said in a straight voice, "He said his name is Su Xusheng."

Su Manjin:! ! !

The little guy didn't expect that as soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the sister who was still teaching him to walk well and not rush around had already run out and disappeared.

Su Jinyang:
Su Xusheng was sitting quietly on the stone bench beside the round table in the yard.He turned his body towards the direction of the house, with his hands on his knees, perfectly behaved.

At this time, if someone looked carefully, they would find that the boy's eyes were dark, and the fingers on his knees kept pinching his pants, and he seemed to be trembling a little.

After a while, a pink figure rushed out of Su Xusheng's sight.

The girl stood still in front of him, panting slightly, her smile still bright and beautiful.

"Su Xiaosheng, you're here!" The girl's voice was crisp and clear, like a lark.

Su Xusheng couldn't help showing a stiff smile.

She has always been so agile and full of vigor, but she is like a soul walking alone in the dark, lonely and helpless.

But since the day I met her, there has always been a ray of sunshine in my heart.

She said: We are good friends, if you need anything, you can come to me at any time.I can help you think of a way together, even if it is to listen to your complaints and speak your mind, it is better than you to fight alone.

Su Xusheng stared at the girl in front of him. She was like a delicate rose, blooming her own unique brilliance to the world.

"Su Xiaosheng, what's the matter with you?" Su Manjin saw that something was wrong with the boy's mood, and asked softly.

Su Xusheng came back to his senses, looked down at the girl in front of him, and said in a hoarse voice, "Su Xiaoman, I'm not happy today."

The boy's expression showed a trace of fragility, and Su Manjin heard a trace of grievance and helplessness in his voice.

She stretched out her hand, hugged him gently, and patted his back slightly.

"It's okay, I'm here. Su Xiaosheng, don't be afraid, I'll be with you."

Su Xusheng was stiffened by the sudden hug, his chin was resting on the girl's neck, the tip of his nose was lingering with the faint milky fragrance from the girl's body, and the hot air from the girl's voice seemed to burn his ears red.

The girl hugged him for a moment, then let him go, then naturally took his hand and walked home.

"Xiao Man." Su Xusheng felt that it might not be very good for him to come to her suddenly like this because of the New Year's Eve and the family reunion.He was just so sad in his heart that he couldn't help wanting to see her.

Su Manjin seemed to know what he was thinking, and comforted him: "It's okay, only my uncle is resting in the house at home, and the other elders have gone out to visit. I will take you to a secret base."

Su Xusheng was obediently led by the girl into the main room.

She asked him to sit for a while, then went to the kitchen and took out a small basin, put a carton of milk into the basin, took out a thermos and filled the basin with hot water.

She took out her washbasin and a new towel from the room, added hot water to the washbasin, twisted the hot towel, and handed it to Su Xusheng.

"Come on, it's a bit cold outside, you can wipe your face, wash your hands in a while, and eat something first."

Su Xusheng said softly, "I'm not hungry"

The girl was strong and said softly, "Be obedient~"

Su Xusheng obediently took the towel and wiped his face.But seeing that the clean white towel was stained with dust after wiping, his face turned red.

Seeing his embarrassment, Su Manjin stretched out her hand to pick up the towel, and said with a smile, "What's the matter, I just let you wipe your face more comfortably because of the dust on the road, just wash it, it's okay. ~"

Su Xusheng didn't say anything and gave her the towel.He wrung out a towel himself, wiped his face again, and then washed the towel and moved the water to the well at the door to pour it out, washed his hands by the way, and returned it to Su Manjin when he entered the house.

Su Manjin casually put the washbasin and towel aside.

She took out the carton of milk, tested the temperature of the bottle with her hand, inserted a straw and handed it to Su Xusheng.

The girl smiled like a flower, "Drink some warm milk, this is my favorite milk, share it with you~"

Su Xusheng took the milk silently, and obediently took a sip.

Su Manjin handed him a small plate of dim sum. She said it was dim sum, but it was actually fried cakes, fried fish nuggets, and a fried chicken leg that grandma prepared for the Chinese New Year.

Su Xusheng didn't want to eat at first, but the girl pouted and stared at him threateningly.

Sighing lightly, he ate slowly.

Su Xusheng didn't even eat lunch. As his stomach was gradually filled and he was looked at by the girl's caring eyes, he felt the temperature of his body gradually warming up.

Su Manjin waited for Su Xusheng to finish eating, cleaned up briefly, and then dragged him to the stairs of his house.

"Take you to my secret base~ Every time I'm unhappy, I'll go up there for a while."
