"Big sister-in-law!" Qin Yu felt a surge of excitent when he saw his big sister-in-law.
Rong Yan sized him up, "Tsk, you’ve gotten tanner, and more muscular too, seems like you’ve grown quite a bit taller... not bad."
Qin Yu had been quite proud of his increase in height, but now... there wasn’t much to be happy about.
"... It’s okay!"
"You’ve beco more modest too, indeed, the military really trains people well. You haven’t been there long, but you’ve changed a lot. Next ti... when the winter break cos around, we’ll make arrangents again."
Qin Yu: ...
I’ve just gotten back; I haven’t even finished sumr break yet, how co plans for winter break are already made?
Is this appropriate?
Before he had ti to figure out what to say, he heard his big sister-in-law’s voice again: "During this ti, you haven’t fallen behind on your studies, have you? Have you been keeping up with your reading?"
Qin Yu: ...
With Rong Yan’s non-stop chattering, "Seeing your expression, I assu you haven’t, so let’s start catching up tomorrow! I’ll make you a test tonight to see how much you’ve fallen behind. We’ll start filling in the gaps tomorrow."
Qin Yu: ...
Had his big cousin brother just left? Was there still ti to ask him to send back?
"By the way, I have so great news for you, our family has grown."
When Qin Yu heard this, his expression suddenly looked a bit silly... What did she an by growth in the family?
Was he going to be an uncle?
... That indeed seed like joyful news.
He was about to express his happiness.
Then he heard the next sentence: "Congratulations on becoming a big brother."
Qin Yu was even more dumbfounded: "...?"
His big sister-in-law must have misspoken, right? How was he a big brother? She got the seniority wrong! No matter what... they should at least call him uncle.
He wanted to correct her.
But the devilish big sister-in-law pointed with her hand, "Look, this is your little brother Xiaohei."
Qin Yu: ...?
What little brother?
What’s all this Xiaohei and Xiaobai?
"Second older brother, let tell you, Xiaohei is amazing," Qin i’s joyful voice also rang out.
Qin Yu looked at her, and then followed the direction his big sister-in-law was pointing... Next mont, his facial expression gradually crumbled.
A dog? Xiaohei?
His little brother?
The growth in the family?
Am I...
Are you guys joking with ?
"Second older brother, Xiaohei is really great, you’ll surely like him."
Qin Yu: ...
No, I don’t like it.
After all, I never wished to gain a dog as a brother.
Though he had a rebellious thought... he really couldn’t hold it back. Alas, that thought should not escape his mind.
He quickly wiped it away.
"... Auntie, I’m gonna go put my luggage in my room first..."
He needed to take a mont... to digest the addition of a new family mber.
"Okay, go put it away. You’re all sweaty and hot. How about this, you go take a shower, and Auntie will cook a few more dishes."
Madam Rong was quite happy.
If she had known earlier that Qin Yu was coming back today, she would certainly have bought a few more groceries.
Unfortunately, it was a bit late for that now.
When Qin Yu heard about cooking a few more dishes, he quickly said, "Auntie, no need for extra dishes, I can eat just anything, don’t busy yourself too much..."
"Hey, this isn’t your concern, hurry and go shower! You can eat afterward," Madam Rong waved her hand at him, then she headed for the kitchen.
Watching the dazed person, Rong Yan also said a word: "Alright, don’t dawdle, hurry up, your clothes are in your wardrobe, go find them yourself."
"Alright, big sister-in-law." After responding, Qin Yu entered his room.
He discovered that even though he hadn’t been ho for a month and a half, the room was still kept clean and tidy.
The corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curve up a bit.
Then he opened the wardrobe in the room, and when he saw the stack of neatly folded clothes inside, he paused for a mont.
If his mory was correct, these clothes... he didn’t have them before.
He reached out to pick them up and found new short-sleeve shirts as well as long-sleeve ones... and pants.
Several sets in total, had they bought him new sumr and fall clothes?
His eyes grew warm... this was what family was, they would always be thinking of him, regardless of whether he was present or not...
He took a deep breath through his nose, then he picked up a white short-sleeve shirt and held it up to himself. It was actually quite fitting, not too small at all.
It seed... they had anticipated his growth and had them specially made a bit larger?
The joy that swelled up inside was unstoppable, as if it were dipping in a jar of honey.
He, too, was cherished and loved.
...
Ten minutes later, Qin Yu erged... wearing old clothes.
Qin i was surprised when she saw his attire.
"Second brother, why didn’t you wear the new clothes? Auntie and your big sister-in-law bought them for you... did you not see them?"
Qin Yu quickly explained, "I saw them, but it’s late tonight, I... I’ll just wear my old clothes and change tomorrow."
He had to change tomorrow anyway, the old clothes were getting tight due to his growth.
And the pants were now a bit short as well.
Fortunately, it was only an hour or two until dark; he’d just bear with it for now.
Qin i: "But aren’t those clothes... a bit small... doesn’t it feel snug?"
Qin Yu: "... It’s okay."
Of course, it was tight, and it was also a bit hot.
Rong Yan interjected, "I think you’d better go change them! If those pants suddenly burst open later... I think you might regret wearing that outfit."
Qin Yu was startled; that couldn’t possibly happen, right?
"Second brother, go change! Auntie and your big sister-in-law prepared so many pairs for you... you can wear those tank tops and shorts tonight!"
Qin Yu: ...
Not wanting his big sister-in-law and younger sister’s attention to stay on his clothes, and because he was indeed wearing sothing uncomfortable, he ran back to change.
When he ca out again, he was in shorts and a tank top... looking very much like a young man.
"Co, sit here and talk about how you’ve been doing these past days," Rong Yan beckoned him, gesturing for him to sit down and talk.
Qin i was also interested, "Second brother, go ahead and tell us, I want to hear too."
Qin Yu noticed how they both seed eager to listen, cleared his throat lightly, "Alright then! I’ll just talk..."
He shared the things he could talk about... starting from his tough 4:30 am wake-ups...
Rong Yan listened with her chin propped in her hand, noticing that Qin Yu had indeed changed a lot, not just in appearance... his personality had beco more cheerful and lively, and he was speaking more as well.
This was really good!
Having never experienced such a lifestyle, Qin i found it very intriguing.
Qin Yu continued until Madam Rong ca over to call them for dinner, then he stopped.
"Let’s not talk anymore, let’s eat."
"Okay, auntie." Just in ti, Qin Yu was feeling a bit parched.
Plus, he was genuinely hungry.
Right then, Rong Wenming also returned.
When he saw Qin Yu, he was especially happy, "Yo, Yu is back."
"Uncle." Qin Yu imdiately called out obediently.
