After being reborn, I have seven older sisters.

As they chatted, they escorted Li Yufeng out of her home.

It was almost lunchtime, and villagers who had been working in the fields were gradually heading home.

As the scattered crowd passed by Song Chunsheng's house, they all cast curious glances at the red Forever brand women's bicycle parked next to the stone mill.

Some people even linger for a while, until their eyes have had their fill, before reluctantly leaving.

Bicycles are not unfamiliar to the villagers; even the village secretary and a few influential families in the village own one.

Forever brand bicycles are currently the best and most expensive, especially since this is a women's bicycle.

Women's bicycles are already rare, and this 26-inch red women's bicycle with its curved beam design is even rarer.

The villagers had only seen it a few times in open-air movies shown in the village's threshing ground.

Just now, when Third Aunt Miao Suzhen and her group returned from the fields, they all cast curious glances at the bicycle parked by the stone mill.

Miao Suzhen even speculated at the time that the red Forever brand bicycle might have been ridden by a female leader from a county investigation team when she came to their village for on-site work and inspection.

At this moment, a group of people had gathered around the bicycle, all staring at it with wide eyes as if it were some rare and unusual object, and whispering among themselves.

But the moment Song Chunsheng stepped out of his house, everyone's eyes quickly left the bicycle and turned to him.

Although most of the villagers were still working in the fields when the accident happened yesterday, the news of the drowning of the "Seven Fairies'" brother spread quickly throughout the village in less than the time it takes to eat a meal after everyone returned home in the evening.

That night, many families who usually had a good relationship with the elderly couple Song Mantun and Liu Yan'e were deeply moved by their loss of their son.

Some people were even thinking that they would go over and comfort the poor old couple when they had time today.

But to everyone's shock, the person who had supposedly died yesterday suddenly emerged from his home perfectly fine.

Many people were instantly startled, thinking they had seen a ghost.

They quickly began whispering among themselves, all eager to find out what had happened.

It would be inappropriate to go directly to Song Chunsheng or his family to ask them.

At this moment, two female neighbors who were usually on good terms with Song Chunsheng's third aunt, Miao Suzhen, immediately came over and whispered in her ear.

One of them had barely uttered two sentences when Miao Suzhen immediately interrupted him, shaking her head and explaining, "The child just choked on water yesterday, he's fine now, lively and energetic!"

After Miao Suzhen finished speaking, she stopped talking.

As the women's director, she knew all too well the curiosity of these rural women. As long as you didn't shut up, they would keep asking questions. Even if you finally got to the bottom of it and told them that the pot only had four legs, they would still ask why it had four and not three.

As soon as the two female neighbors who had obtained the inside information entered the crowd, they were immediately surrounded by others.

But when the only answer they received was "he was knocked unconscious by water," their gazes turned to Song Chunsheng again, and they began to have doubts, feeling that things were not as simple as they seemed.

At this moment, Li Yufeng walked towards the red bicycle. From inserting the key to start the car, to kicking the kickstand, and then calmly taking the two handlebars in her hands, the whole process was as smooth as flowing water.

In an instant, the gaze that had been fixed on Song Chunsheng was drawn to her.

Most people at the scene, including Miao Suzhen, were so shocked by her skillful and graceful movements that they were speechless.

It wasn't until everyone, like stars surrounding the moon, accompanied Li Yufeng out of the city gate and to the village entrance, and watched her sit on her bicycle and disappear from everyone's sight with her elegant back, that everyone started to chatter amongst themselves!

Some people were talking about Li Yufeng, while others were still thinking about Song Chunsheng.

In short, Song Chunsheng and his family became the headline news of the entire village in an instant.

Miao Suzhen's face revealed undisguised envy as she looked at Chunsheng and Hongqin and said, "Oh my, my dear fairy, your teacher was so beautiful, and she had such a beautiful women's bicycle. That's what a modern woman should be like!"

Chunsheng and Hongqin exchanged a smile but didn't respond to her words.

"Alright, go home and cook dinner. We still have to work in the fields this afternoon!"

Liu Yan'e never liked gossiping, but Chunsheng's affair made their family the talk of the village. She didn't want people pointing fingers at her child, and she didn't want outsiders to look at her son like he was a monster.

So, as soon as Li Yufeng left, she immediately urged her children to go home.

"Chunsheng, may I borrow your English notes to study?"

Song Hongqin had just listened to Song Chunsheng's long-winded speech, in which he spoke eloquently about the important role of English in the future. After receiving strong approval from the class teacher, Li Yufeng, the two then had an English conversation that left her speechless with its fluency.

This prompted Song Hongqin, who has always been extremely competitive, to make a decision instantly: from today onwards, Song Chunsheng would be her target to catch up with, especially in the English course, where she had to emulate him.

"Of course, no problem, but could you use a different word?"

Chunsheng looked at Song Hongqin and joked, "Just use the word 'discuss,' but please don't use 'study,' because that makes me feel superior, which is not good for getting along with other classmates in the future!"

"You...you're so vain..." Song Hongqin blushed, and her slender hands immediately clenched into two small fists, about to swing them at Song Chunsheng.

Upon realizing he was about to be beaten, Chunsheng immediately slipped between his two older sisters, Chunmiao and Chunzao, with Song Hongqin close behind. The two of them, one in front of the other, playfully ran towards home.

Seeing her son looking so energetic from behind, Liu Yan'e, the mother, couldn't help but smile.

Miao Suzhen, the sister-in-law following closely behind, suddenly blurted out, "Second sister-in-law, I think you won't have to worry about finding a wife for Chunsheng in the future!"

"Third Aunt, you can't say things like that! The two children are still young; they're just classmates, it's not what you're thinking at all!"

"Oh, Second Sister-in-law, you don't understand. This is called childhood sweethearts. Besides, I think Hongqin is a good girl in every way. If she can marry into our Song family, your relationship as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will definitely..."

Before Miao Suzhen could finish speaking, Liu Yan'e quickly interrupted, "You're going off on a tangent, and your words are becoming increasingly absurd!"

Although Liu Yan'e also liked Song Hongqin very much, her two children were only 17 years old and still in school.

Moreover, the other party was a girl, and she didn't want to damage Hongqin's reputation because of some gossip.

Just as Hongqin received Chunsheng's English notes and was about to go home, her mother, Sun Fengxia, hurriedly entered Chunsheng's house.

Upon seeing Song Hongqin emerge from the main room, Sun Fengxia exclaimed in surprise, "So you really are here! It's almost lunchtime, why aren't you home after school!"

"I came here with our homeroom teacher, Ms. Li. She came to see Chunsheng today, but she doesn't know the way! Why are you in such a hurry to see me? Is something urgent?"

At this moment, Liu Yan'e and her two daughters, who had just entered the house, also looked at Sun Fengxia with curiosity.

Liu Yan'e hurriedly asked, "Why are you in such a hurry to find Hongqin? Is there some urgent matter at home?"

Sun Fengxia waved her hand, "It's nothing urgent, nothing urgent. My third nephew, Jianshe, just arrived!"

Liu Yan'e then remembered that she had heard early that morning that Sun Jianshe was coming to visit Chunsheng, so she hurriedly asked, "Where is Jianshe now? Let him come over for a meal!"

Sun Fengxia gave a wry smile and said, "I already left in a hurry, saying I had to go to work this afternoon!"

After Song Hongqin was taken away by her mother, Liu Yan'e hurriedly went to Song Chunsheng's room and asked with a smile, "Chunsheng, did your brother Jianshe come to the house just now?"

"I came, sat for a while, and then left!"

Song Chunsheng answered his mother while tidying up the things on the table.

"Now that he's here, what did you talk about with him? Did you discuss your sister?"

"Mom, why are you asking Chunsheng about Sun Jianshe? Can't you see Chunsheng is busy?"

Song Chunmiao, who had just come in from outside, looked at her mother with a helpless expression.

Liu Yan'e glanced back at her daughter, then looked back at Chunsheng, sighed, and turned to sit on the edge of the kang behind her.

"Chunkiao, you've met Jianshe several times now. Can you tell your mother what you're really thinking?"
