1979: Literary Master, Starting from the Return of Educated Youth

Chapter 273 Secretly Meeting Sister-in-law

Along the way, the three of them didn't talk much.

It was not until they entered the restaurant that Chen Qiaoqiao uttered her first word.

"Two bowls of vegetarian noodles."

"I also want face."

Xu Yuexin followed and added.

He knew that his wife ordered noodles for the two sisters and it had nothing to do with him.

Soon, three bowls of steaming hot noodles were served on the table.

Xu Yuexin immediately wolfed down the noodles; he was really hungry.

As for why he only ate vegetarian noodles instead of meat and fish, it was because he had been traveling so long that if he ate too much meat, his stomach would easily not be able to bear it.

Sisters Chen Qiaoqiao and Chen Yixiu ate noodles very quickly. Not long after Xu Yuexin finished his noodles, they had also finished theirs.

"Waiter, come again..."

Chen Yixiu turned her head to look at the counter, and then Chen Qiaoqiao stopped her.

"Eat less, or your stomach won't be able to take it."

Chen Qiaoqiao nudged her sister with her elbow.

"Um……"

Chen Yixiu nodded, completing the first conversation between the two sisters after entering the restaurant.

"Well, are we going back tomorrow, or when?"

Xu Yuexin looked at his wife tentatively.

"You guys go back, I'll stay for a while."

Chen Yixiu spoke first.

"Come back with us."

Chen Qiaoqiao looked at her sister and said, "So that we don't worry about you."

"There's nothing to worry about. I'm not a child."

"I'll call you often from here."

Chen Yixue insisted.

Seeing that the two sides could not reach an agreement, Xu Yuexin stood up.

"Let's go, go back and have some sleep first."

After Xu Yuexin finished speaking, he walked out of the restaurant, and the two sisters followed him.

After returning to the hotel, Xu Yuexin and Chen Qiaoqiao took a shower and lay down on the bed with their eyes closed.

Even though they had slept before, they still felt very tired at this moment, mainly mentally.

After sleeping till the next morning, Xu Yuexin and Chen Qiaoqiao found Chen Yixiu again and asked her to go back with them.

"You guys go first, I'll stay here for three days."

Seeing her sister and brother-in-law were so determined, Chen Yixue had no choice but to compromise and said, "I will definitely go back in three days, how about that?"

"Then... let's do it."

Chen Qiaoqiao thought about it for a while and had to agree.

That afternoon, Xu Yuexin and Chen Qiaoqiao booked tickets back to Beijing.

Three days later, Xu Yuexin came to the Beijing Railway Station to pick up his sister-in-law.

Chen Qiaoqiao didn't let him pick her up. Instead, she warned him to keep a distance from his sister-in-law in the future.

But Xu Yuexin still came secretly.

He waited from morning till afternoon, and finally met his sister-in-law among the vast crowd.

I saw that my sister-in-law was wearing a white polka dot sleeveless mid-length skirt and strappy high heels. Even though she looked tired, she could not hide her graceful figure.

When the sister-in-law saw Xu Yuexin standing at the door, she was very surprised at first.

"How did you come?"

"What, I can't come?"

"Does Qiaoqiao know you're coming?"

"She, of course, doesn't know."

"Then go back quickly."

The sister-in-law insisted, "Don't let her know."

"Okay, I'm leaving."

Xu Yuexin nodded, turned back to the parking lot, and got into the Mercedes-Benz.

In fact, he came to the train station just to confirm that his sister-in-law had really returned.

As for whether to send her home, it is not that important.

Anyway, it was broad daylight and she was a living person and there was no chance she would get lost.

Watching Xu Yuexin's Mercedes-Benz slowly driving away from the side of the road, Chen Yixiu felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.

As far as I can remember, this seemed to be the first time Xu Yuexin left without any entanglement. After taking a taxi back home from the train station, Chen Yixue called her sister's office before she had even put away her luggage.

"Hey, Qiaoqiao, I'm home already."

"Okay sister, I'll come to your house tonight."

"I'm busy right now, let's talk later."

"Dudu..."

Soon, the phone was hung up.

Chen Yixiu held the microphone in her hand and felt relieved.

Chen Qiaoqiao's call of "sister" alleviated much of her doubts and worries.

At the same time, Chen Yixiu also felt very guilty towards her sister and felt that she had let her down so much.

In the afternoon, Chen Yixiu went out to buy a roast duck and brought back some vegetables.

To entertain her sister, she, who had never done any housework, cooked herself and prepared five dishes, two meat dishes and three vegetable dishes, including the roast duck, making a total of six dishes.

I wonder if Xu Yuexin will come with his sister...

When the last dish was served on the table, an idea suddenly popped into Chen Yixiu's mind.

This thought made her feel extremely guilty.

Why are you still thinking about him?

For the first time, Chen Yixiu felt angry at herself and felt that she was really disappointing.

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

Chen Yixiu went forward to open the door and saw her sister coming alone.

"Qiaoqiao."

Chen Yixiu greeted her sister guiltily.

"Hey, sis."

Chen Qiaoqiao nodded slightly embarrassedly, and saw the dishes on the table after entering the house.

"There are too many dishes. I'm afraid I can't finish them."

Chen Qiaoqiao said.

"It's okay, put the rest in the refrigerator and heat it up for a midnight snack."

Chen Yixiu pulled out a chair and waited for her sister to sit down before serving her the meal.

"Are you very busy at work now?"

Chen Yixiu asked her sister after sitting down.

"It's OK. Sometimes it's busy and sometimes it's not. Today is one of the busiest days."

"Well, will you sleep at my place tonight?"

"Ah."

Chen Qiaoqiao nodded, picked up the bowl and started eating.

Chen Yixiu started eating with her, and when they finished their meal, most of the dishes on the table were still not finished.

If Xu Yuexin were here, there wouldn't be so many left.

The two sisters thought the same thing at the same time, but at the same time, they tacitly avoided mentioning him.

“Is it because I didn’t cook well?”

Chen Yixiu asked awkwardly.

"No, it's OK."

Chen Qiaoqiao gave her sister some face, shook her head and smiled, "It's not easy to cook like this for the first time."

"When I was sent to the countryside to work in the production team, if I had seen so many delicious foods, I would have eaten them all in one go."

"Of course I could have eaten it all in one sitting. There's so much meat."

Chen Yixiu echoed.

After hearing her sister's words, Chen Qiaoqiao was filled with emotion.

When my sister worked in the art troupe, it was also difficult for her to eat meat.

This is not because her salary is low. In fact, with her income, she can eat meat every week if she only supports herself.

But she has to support a large family, so financially she is in a tight spot.

Especially Chen Qiaoqiao herself, in addition to receiving food coupons mailed from her sister every month, she could even receive pork coupons.

At that time, all the educated youth were really envious.

Past events like these were played in Chen Qiaoqiao's mind like a short movie.

The dissatisfaction with my sister gradually disappeared in my memories.

"Qiaoqiao?"

Seeing that her sister didn't say anything, Chen Yixiu thought she was in a bad mood again, so she asked tentatively.
