Accidentally entered a high gate

Zheng Chunfang knew she looked younger than her peers, but it couldn't be that exaggerated, could it? "We're both 29 this year (by Chinese reckoning), and we got married at 19."

Chu Xiaomei and Tian Aihua were even less convinced after hearing this.

Tian Aihua nudged Chu Xiaomei's shoulder. "Xiaomei, does she think that if she says that, we'll acknowledge her as our eldest sister?"

Chu Xiaomei laughed and said, "Most likely. When my younger sister was little, she would pester me and my older sister every day to play games with us, saying she was the eldest sister and we were her second and third sisters."

Tian Aihua: "My younger sister also liked to play this kind of game when she was little."

Chu Xiaomei: "It seems that all the younger sisters in the world want to be the eldest sister."

Tian Aihua: "Mm."

The two talked while glancing at Zheng Chunfang. The implication was: We both have younger sisters; you can't fool us, we won't fall for it.

Zheng Chunfang: "..."

Zheng Chunfang silently took out her marriage certificate. She had brought it with her because she was afraid that if she and Ma Lifeng held hands or put their arms around each other out of habit, someone might see them and report them to the Party Committee. She never expected it would come in this way.

After Chu Xiaomei and Tian Aihua carefully read the names and ages on the document...

Chu Xiaomei: "You two are really twenty-nine?!"

Tian Aihua: "It's not twenty-nine, it's twenty-eight."

Chu Xiaomei: "Yes! You two are really twenty-eight?"

Zheng Chunfang: "..." There's not much difference between twenty-eight and twenty-nine, is there? "We're both really twenty-eight."

Tian Aihua: "Then you must not have children." Children make you age faster.

Chu Xiaomei: "That's right! You two definitely don't have any children."

"We have four children. When my wife comes to pick up her luggage, I'll show you our family's household registration booklet. My wife took our household registration booklet to register for the new family."

Chu Xiaomei and Tian Aihua: "..." Four children?! If you consider their ages, that's quite normal. But if you consider their appearance...

Chu Xiaomei and Tian Aihua looked at Zheng Chunfang's face, then at the marriage certificate in her hand. They looked at her face, then at the marriage certificate in her hand…

Finally, the two looked at each other and said at the same time, "Even if you have four children and you are twenty-eight, we will not call you the eldest sister. You should just be the youngest."

Zheng Chunfang: "..." Not only do they not call her "elder sister," but they also want her to be the youngest? "Just call me Chunfang."

Chu Xiaomei: "No, we'll just call you the youngest."

Tian Aihua: "Because you look very young."

Zheng Chunfang: "..." I suspect you did this on purpose, but I have no proof. "It's unfair to the real youngest and oldest in our dorm."

Chu Xiaomei and Tian Aihua felt that no matter how young the oldest person in their dormitory was, they couldn't look any younger than Zheng Chunfang.

Tian Aihua: "You don't need to worry about that."

Chu Xiaomei: "Yes. You're the youngest in our dorm."

Zheng Chunfang: "..." Would her husband encounter this situation too? If he did, he'd probably be happy and say, "Great! But since you call me the youngest, you have to take care of me!"

After finishing their conversation, Chu Xiaomei and Tian Aihua began making the bed for Zheng Chunfang.

On the other side, when Ma Lifeng finished reporting for duty and found his dormitory, there were already four people there. His dormitory was an eight-person room, while Zheng Chunfang's was a six-person room.

Ma Lifeng smiled at them. "Hello! My name is Ma Lifeng. I'm twenty-nine years old. I've worked in the countryside and as a factory worker. I have four children now. My wife also works at this school, but she's in the library science department. What about you?"

The four people: "..." Where did this madman come from? However, this madman is quite clean.

Wei Xuejun took a sesame seed cake out of his bag and handed it to Ma Lifeng. "Sweetie, go play somewhere else. There's nothing fun to do here."
