It took all the way until 11 before Auntie returned home. She then cleaned up the yard and began to wash the veggies and fish. I put on two leather gloves and began to scrub the bedding hard, nearly breaking the washboard in the process. My arms were covered in soap and bubbles. Dong Cheng pitifully looked at me and shook her head, “Ay, a great Versace, ruined. Where’s the justice in this world…”
Right at that moment, the sound of brakes slamming into the ground rang out. Auntie looked up and said, “That should be your sister right?”
Before she even finished, a beautiful figure entered into the lobby and walked over to the yard. The girl reached out and “Pa!” her bags fell the ground. My long haired sister bounded towards me and happily shouted, “Bro!”
I looked at her, “Meng Yao?”
In the next moment Li Meng Yao opened her arms and “Hua!” leaped into my arms, tackling me to the ground. She leaned against me, her face against my chest and smiled, “Brother, I missed you so much….”
My arms were covered in soap and I didn’t know what to do to push her away. Laughing I said, “Alright alright. Meng Yao, get up. I have soap all over me, hurry up!”
“Oh!”
Meng Yao stood up and helped me up. She then happily looked at me and said, “Bro, I haven’t seen you for 7 months and 23 days!”
“Eh, you remember all that?”
“Yup. Every month you send money to me, and I think about how has brother been…”
“Ha ha….”
A little embarrassed I took off the gloves and rubbed her head, “Brother has been doing great. You don’t have to worry!”
Auntie tartly said, “Ay, aren’t you forgetting about someone? This Auntie has nearly become air at this point….”
Li Meng Yao happily walked forward and grabbed Auntie’s hand, “Auntie, what are you talking about. I… I just haven’t seen brother in so long! Yi? These two…”
Finally the little girl saw Wan Er and Dong Cheng and couldn’t help but be stunned. Ever since she was a child, Meng Yao was Auntie’s precious treasure. She had been known as the most beautiful girl in ten miles. Now, looking at Wan er and Dong Cheng, two girls who don’t lose at all to her in terms of looks, she naturally felt a little threatened.
“Brother, who are they?” The little girl tugged on my hand.
I introduced them, a little speechless,” This is Lin Wan Er, she’s my friend. This one is Dong Cheng, she’s also my friend…”
“Ah?!”
