"This is some clothing your mother made for you, and this bag has food. The weather is hot now, so don't let it spoil. Share it with your classmates later; don't be stingy."
"Also, these are letters from your father and mother. I brought them for you. Write back to them when you have time. I've written their address on the envelopes."
Chen Yang had never imagined he would become as naggy as a mother, but looking at his younger sister, he couldn't help but want to say a few more things.
After a year of university, Chen Yu had matured considerably. After all, being away from home meant taking care of herself and learning to get along with her classmates.
She also realized how difficult it was for her parents to take care of her. She had to wash her own clothes every day and remember to wash and sun her quilt on sunny days.
Previously, her parents did all these things for her, and she didn't have to worry about anything. But now it was different. Having to do it herself at school, she finally understood how good her parents were to her.
"I know. I'll come home to see you during summer break. Xiaopeng and Xiaoyi are probably fighting together right now. Can they walk yet?"
Chen Yu didn't retort, which made Chen Yang a little unaccustomed. This girl used to argue with him about everything; she wouldn't feel right if she didn't bicker a few times.
"Xiaoyi can already walk while holding onto the wall, and Pengpeng is not far behind. By the time you get back, those two little rascals will be running all over the place."
"Pray hard to Mom and Dad to teach these two little guys to call you Auntie and Aunt. Otherwise, when you get back, they won't know how to address you, and you'll lose face."
Speaking of his nephews and his own little treasure, Chen Yang felt a rare warmth in his heart.
These two little ones brought so much joy and laughter to their home, allowing his parents to truly enjoy the happiness of family.
"If I lose face, I lose face. I'll teach them myself when I get back. I don't believe that with my intelligence, I can't teach a few little kids how to address people."
Hearing Chen Yu's words, that familiar feeling returned. This was his little sister.
"Alright, alright, Xiao Yu, focus on your studies. Write home if anything comes up. You can come to your uncle's house to play when you're on vacation. Your aunt has mentioned several times that she wants you to come over for dinner."
Chen Yu had classes later, and Chen Liqi was afraid of delaying her studies. After a brief greeting, he urged her to go back to class. In his heart, nothing was more important than Chen Yu's studies.
The emphasis on children's education by elders like Chen Liqi was common among many older generations. In their eyes, nothing mattered more than their children's education.
"Okay, Uncle. I'll come to your house for dinner next time I'm on vacation."
Chen Yu smiled sweetly. Her uncle had brought her food several times, and she hadn't visited his home yet.
"Then it's settled. Write a letter in advance before you come, and your aunt and I will prepare."
"Your brother is in Beijing negotiating business. He'll return once the deal is done. We'll see if we can arrange a meal together before he leaves."
The concept of weekends wasn't popular yet; there was only one day off a week. Students were slightly better off, with half-day classes on Saturdays and Sundays off. However, many students didn't rest but instead used the time to study in the library.
Chen Yu was naturally a bit playful, but under the pressure from so many diligent classmates, she also started studying hard.
"I'll see then. This Sunday is free. I'll see if I can ask the teacher and go out to play. I see some local Beijing students go home on Saturdays and Sundays."
Chen Yu hadn't really looked into this. She usually stayed in her dorm or the library and hadn't considered going outside campus.
"You can go out to play when you don't have classes. This school doesn't prohibit it, so you can rest assured. I see many students taking advantage of holidays to visit the Great Wall and the Forbidden City."
As if hearing Chen Yu's words, the young man who had come to fetch her interjected casually. Hearing him, Chen Yu visibly cheered up.
It was fine as long as she could go out. She had been in Beijing for so long and hadn't really gone out to have fun.
"Young man, thank you."
Chen Yang flicked a cigarette over and glanced at Chen Yu, who was already carrying a large bag of luggage. This girl, why hadn't she found someone to help her?
Thinking of this, Chen Yang suddenly remembered his brother-in-law. Later, his younger sister told him that they met right after they started school.
However, dating was not allowed at their current school, so they waited until graduation to start their relationship.
"Xiao Yu, are there any male classmates at school who catch your eye?"
Chen Yang asked, driven by a strange impulse. He really wanted to see what his usually mature and steady brother-in-law looked like now.
In his memory, his brother-in-law always treated him like an incompetent younger brother and lectured him. But Chen Yang never felt resentful about being lectured.
He had returned from studying abroad and his business ventures hadn't gone smoothly. His younger sister had worried a lot about him and was exhausted. His brother-in-law saw all this, and he, as the elder brother, was still being cared for by his sister and brother-in-law. He truly deserved to be lectured.
In this life, he was no longer the person who needed help from his sister and brother-in-law. Chen Yang also wanted to see what his brother-in-law was like now.
Just wait, little guy. This brother will cover for you, fiercely cover for you. Whatever you want, this brother will help you with it.
Whatever embarrassment he suffered as an older brother in his past life, he would reclaim it all in this life.
"What male classmates are you talking about? Don't spout nonsense. Dating is not allowed at school; you'll be expelled."
Chen Yu cautiously pulled Chen Yang aside. Seeing her reaction, Chen Yang thought there was something going on. If she had nothing to hide, why would she be so scared?
This girl was still too young.
And that little brat, the school strictly prohibited dating, and he's only in his first year and already trying to chase his sister. If anyone can tolerate it, he, as the elder brother, cannot.
"Alright, alright, your brother won't talk nonsense. You can bring him out to play on Sunday, and I'll treat you to a meal."
Chen Yang waved his hand magnanimously. Whether it was his brother-in-law or his brother-in-law, he was satisfied.
Not to mention how his brother-in-law and brother-in-law helped him in his previous life, just based on how they treated his elder sister and younger sister, Chen Yang had no reason to complain.
"Just don't go around talking nonsense."
"What are you talking about? Nothing of the sort. Who would I bring to meet you?"
Chen Yu had just breathed a sigh of relief, but hearing Chen Yang's words, her face turned red again.
Although it was a new era and the country encouraged free love, dating was forbidden at school before graduation. Besides, she had only met him a few times.
She didn't even know if he liked her, let alone invite him to have a meal with her brother. Honestly.
Seeing his younger sister's reaction, Chen Yang guessed there was indeed something going on. Fine, he wouldn't interfere anymore. Let them develop freely. He didn't want to mess things up by trying to help.
When that young man comes to visit, humph, in his past life, this older brother couldn't hold his head high. In this life, you, kid, be prepared. It won't be easy to marry my sister without putting in some effort, Chen Yang declared.
