Chapter 150 Receiving Xiao Siyu
Since the academy wasn't too far away, the two of them walked there instead of taking a carriage.
On the way, Xiao Sizhe once again marveled at the cement road.
"Little sister, this cement road is really nice," Xiao Sizhe said, stomping his foot on the road twice.
This was the first time Xiao Siyue had ever seen Xiao Si act so childishly.
"Second brother, I'll take you to see the cement workshop tomorrow," Xiao Siyue invited, knowing that Xiao Sizhe was curious.
"Okay, then I'll definitely go and see for myself tomorrow how this cement is made." Xiao Sizhe was very interested in cement and extremely curious.
As they walked, Xiao Siyue introduced Xiao Sizhe to various aspects of Qianyuan County.
The two of them slowly made their way to the entrance of the academy.
They arrived a bit early; the students hadn't finished their classes yet, so the two of them sat down at a tea stall across from the college to wait.
Xiao Sizhe also looked around the academy. Overall, it looked much the same as the academy in their Anyuan County, but he didn't know what it was like inside.
After waiting for a short while, students began to emerge in twos and threes.
Xiao Siyue spotted Xiao Siyu at a glance and quickly waved to him.
"Brother, I'm here."
Xiao Siyu thought he heard his sister's voice, but immediately dismissed it—how could his sister be here?
But just as he was thinking about it, he heard a familiar voice again. He quickly looked towards the source of the voice and saw Xiao Siyue waving at him from in front of the tea stall table.
After quickly saying goodbye to his companions, Xiao Siyu strode towards Xiao Siyue.
"Little sister, what brings you here?" Xiao Siyu was pleasantly surprised, as this was the first time her sister had come to the academy to pick her up from school.
"Hehe, brother, I came with my second brother." Xiao Siyue chuckled, revealing Xiao Sizhe sitting behind her.
Xiao Siyu then noticed Xiao Sizhe sitting and drinking tea.
"Second brother, when did you arrive?" Xiao Siyu was overjoyed, as he hadn't seen his second brother for a full five years.
He almost didn't recognize his second brother. He was even more handsome than before, but he was still a little less handsome than him. Xiao Siyu thought to himself with a touch of narcissism.
"Sixth brother, it's been a long time." Xiao Sizhe patted Xiao Siyu on the shoulder. He had been looking at his younger brother since Xiao Siyu came out.
Five years ago, when Xiao Siyu left the Xiao family, he was just a ten-year-old toddler. Now he is a handsome young man.
"Yes, yes, it's been five years since we last saw each other, Second Brother," Xiao Siyu said exaggeratedly, opening his palms.
"Hehe, second brother, did you and your sister come here specifically to pick me up?" Xiao Siyu said, trying to put his arm around Xiao Sizhe's shoulder, but Xiao Sizhe was now a head taller than him. After trying for a while, he couldn't manage to put his arm around him and could only silently put it down.
Seeing this, Xiao Siyue covered her mouth and chuckled; her brother was just too funny.
Xiao Sizhe noticed it too, but being a good older brother, he wouldn't say anything and embarrass his younger brother.
"Second brother, tell me quickly, where did you go this year? Was it fun?" Xiao Siyu's eyes were full of envy; he also wanted to travel.
"Let's go back first, I'll tell you all about it when we get back." Xiao Sizhe thought about how his third uncle and aunt were still waiting at home, so he paid the bill to the restaurant owner.
"Second Brother, let's talk as we do it." Xiao Siyue was an impatient person and couldn't wait to find out. She couldn't wait to go back.
Helpless, Xiao Sizhe could only explain to Xiao Siyu as they walked.
Xiao Siyue listened attentively the whole time. Xiao Sizhe hadn't explained it in detail before.
Upon hearing that Xiao Sizhe had encountered robbers, bullies, and even stayed in caves along the way, Xiao Siyue sighed, "This journey has been truly difficult. It's fortunate that the servant he brought was skilled in martial arts; otherwise, who knows what might have happened."
When he got home, Xiao Qinian and Lin Qin were already waiting for him.
"You're back. Go wash your hands quickly, it's time for us to eat." After saying that, Lin Qin quickly ordered the dishes to be served.
After everyone sat down, Xiao Siyu was overjoyed to see the table full of dishes.
These are things he doesn't usually get to eat.
"Mom, the dishes today are so plentiful, they're all my favorites. Did you make them especially for me?"
"You wish! Is there anything you don't like to eat? These dishes were specially prepared for your second brother today." Lin Qin glared at Xiao Siyu.
Then she turned to Xiao Sizhe with affection: "Sizhe, try it quickly, is it delicious?"
Xiao Sizhe didn't stand on ceremony, picked up a piece of vegetable and put it in his mouth, chewing it carefully.
"Third Aunt, it's delicious, thank you Third Aunt."
"You're welcome. Eat more if you like it. Look how thin you are," Lin Qin said, using serving chopsticks to put a few pieces of meat on Xiao Sizhe's plate.
Seeing Lin Qin's double standards, Xiao Siyu could only channel his grief and anger into his appetite, picking up the dishes on the table and putting them in his mouth.
Everyone at the table looked at Xiao Siyu with amusement, knowing that he wasn't really angry.
Sure enough, after eating another piece, Xiao Siyu ate faster and faster.
"Third Uncle and Third Aunt, you should eat too." Xiao Sizhe was deeply moved when he saw his bowl full of meat.
"Hey, let's eat." Lin Qin then picked up some food for herself.
Xiao Siyue really liked the atmosphere at her family's dinner table. She didn't have to follow any rules about not talking while eating, and she felt that this way, she could eat an extra bowl of rice.
However, she had also studied etiquette, so if there were outsiders present or she was visiting someone else's home, she rarely spoke at the dinner table, following the host's rules.
Xiao Siyue was happily eating her rice when suddenly a pair of chopsticks reached out and placed a piece of braised fish in her bowl.
"Little sister, have a piece of fish," Xiao Siyue said, looking over to see Xiao Sizhe.
"Thank you, Second Brother." Xiao Siyue said happily. She liked to eat fish, and she was glad that her second brother remembered.
The family enjoyed a pleasant dinner together.
"Second brother, why don't you sleep with me tonight?" Xiao Siyu suddenly said after dinner.
He also wanted Xiao Sizhe to tell him more about his travels that evening.
Before Xiao Sizhe could speak, Lin Qin said, "I've already prepared a room for your second brother to sleep in. I'm afraid that with your sleeping posture, he'll be kicked off the bed at night."
Xiao Siyue chuckled. Her brother did have a bad sleeping posture. In the past, when Xiao Siyu and Xiao Sining lived together, Xiao Sining was often kicked out of bed.
However, Xiao Siyu was too young to know what shyness was back then.
Now that Lin Qin brought it up, Xiao Siyu immediately became anxious: "Mother, what are you saying? That was so long ago. I'm sleeping in a very good position now, I won't kick my second brother off the bed."
"Okay, okay, I understand." Lin Qin clearly didn't believe her.
Xiao Siyu immediately looked like a wilted puppy, drooping his ears as he stared at Xiao Sizhe.
However, in the end, Xiao Sizhe still couldn't sleep with Xiao Siyu and went to the room that Lin Qin had prepared.
