The next day Jiang Sui took Jiang Shuisheng to her cousin Jiang Xue’s house.
Jiang Xue was now in her first year of high school and had become a ball. Jiang Xue’s eyes lit up when she saw Jiang Sui. She giggled: “Xiao Suisui, please let me hug you.”
Jiang Sui stood pitifully by the door, refusing to go through.
Her cousin was very weird and liked to pinch her since she was a child. Jiang Xue insisted on saying that Sui Sui had a delicate body and was soft and easy to pinch, but Jiang Sui was not such a fleshy person!
Jiang Xue’s laughter was very magical. Jiang Sui said, “Sister Xue, can I buy your textbooks for the second and third grades of junior high school?”
Jiang Xue: “What grade are you in? What do you want with that?”
Jiang Sui hesitated: “I know a friend who needs them.”
Jiang Xue was kind-hearted: “Xiao Suisui, why are you so polite? You can just take it. It’s useless for me to keep it anyway. I can’t even make a lot of money selling it as scrap.”
Jiang Sui carefully packed the textbooks Jiang Xue could find into her small schoolbag.
She said sincerely: “Thank you Sister Xue, this is the money I’m paying for buying the books.” Jiang Sui took out a red envelope from her small pocket, which contained all the New Year’s money she put under her pillow.
Jiang Xue insisted not to take it, but Jiang Sui finally gave her the money.
Jiang Sui was carrying a schoolbag full of books, with a shallow dimple on her cheek, and her eyes were filled with sparkles.
These books had to be given, but she couldn’t let Chi Yan know that it was given by her.
Jiang Sui didn’t want his gratitude and love. In fact, she didn’t want anything to do with the Chi brothers. She even felt that because Chi Yan later liked Liang Qian’er instead of herself, Chi Yan looked more pleasing to the eye than Chi Yiming.
Jiang Sui’s heart was like the gentlest water in March, and it would not change no matter how many times it turned over.
Although Chi Yan had done things that made her sad but when her father had cirrhosis of the liver, he was the one who finally found a liver source for him.
Miss Jiang Sui remembered kindness but not small grudges.
She spent an afternoon, holding a pen in her little hand, and carefully painted out Jiang Xue’s name in ink one by one.
After all, the surname Jiang was quite rare. Jiang Xue and Jiang Sui sounded like sisters at first glance. She painted out her name so that he would not know that this was her cousin Jiang Xue’s books!
In recent days, children in the compound had occasionally mentioned Chi Yan’s job search. These days, most small business owners dared not accept “child labor.” The weather had cooled down, and Zheng Chun, the owner of the grocery store, didn’t want help anymore. He went out early every day but had found nothing.
Jiang Sui carried a heavy bag of books on her short legs and walked for a long time before she reached Zhao Nan’s house.
There was a faded door couplet posted in the Zhao family’s yard, and there was only a garbage basket at the door. Jiang Sui looked up and saw that there was no other way, so she put the books in the garbage basket.
She carefully cleaned up the bottom layer of the garbage basket first, fearing that it would stain the textbooks.
Jiang Sui was afraid that others would pick it up and sell it as garbage, so she quietly watched under the elm tree.
The weather was cool in September under the magnificent sunset.
The boy was followed by a younger child, as they came home together.
Chi Yiming was about to step into the yard, but his eyes lit up and he rushed to the garbage basket.
“Brother! Look what this is!”
Jiang Sui’s heart was pounding.
Chi Yan also walked to the garbage basket.
Chi Yiming flipped through the pages: “I wonder whose books it is?”
It couldn’t have been thrown away, right? It would be worth several dollars to recycle these books as scrap!
Chi Yiming looked around: “Brother, it’s junior high school textbooks. Most people don’t want it. Let’s put it away!”
Chi Yan glanced at the basket of books: “It’s not that they didn’t want them. The textbooks are very clean.”
Jiang Sui was anxious, wouldn’t he want it?
Chi Yiming whispered: “Whatever, no one saw it. Look, there are no names on it. If we see it, it’s ours.”
Jiang Sui thought to herself, kid Chi Yiming was really a clever little kid.
Chi Yan remained silent, which made Jiang Sui feel nervous.
After a burst of noise over there, it calmed down. Jiang Sui looked over and saw that they had taken away the books. She breathed a sigh of relief and her eyes turned into crescent moons.
How awesome!
The books were given to them, but they didn’t know it was related to her.
She then walked home slowly, the setting sun shining gently on her small figure.
At night, Chi Yan opened the pile of textbooks he had picked up.
He browsed through them casually and found a piece of paper sandwiched in the third-grade physics book.
Chi Yan spread it out and saw what was written on the paper——
“Jiang Xue, I received your love letter, but I don’t like you. Don’t confess to me anymore. I just want to study hard. – Gao Jun.”
The corner of Chi Yan’s mouth twitched slightly: “…”
Chi Yiming asked enthusiastically: “Brother, what are you looking at?”
Chi Yan calmly put the note back and said in silence after a long time: “It’s nothing.”
Chi Yiming looked at him suspiciously. Just now…did his brother smile?
