Eldest Sister, Why Haven't You Married Yet

44

Chapter 44. Open up the wasteland

Each of them put away what little clothes, shoes and socks they own away. You Zhu rolled around on the three's kang with more than enough room and looked at the surrounding environment with great satisfaction: "This will be our home from now on! How wonderful!"

You Yin, who just came back after changing the basin to clean water, saw how overjoyed she was and smilingly remarked, "That's right. And we have our own room and cabinet too!"

The two sisters merrily chatted. They were filled with longing toward their new life. Outside, You Luo and You Ling were playing in the mud in the yard. In the main room, Mrs. Su was coaxing the twins to sleep. In the east wing, You Bao and You Ling were cleaning the tables, chairs and benches. In the kitchen, You Jin was busy preparing for their first meal in the new home. Su Family's new life was beginning.

On the first day of moving into the new home, You Jin stewed a large pot of roast meat with potatoes and steamed a large pot of coarse grain rice. The family heartily enjoyed the flavorful fatty meat juice to their fill. After dinner, they took the hot water from the kitchen to the shower booth and had a refreshing bath. Only then, they went back to their rooms to sleep.

In the east wing, You Ling slept next to You Jin. At the age of five, she followed a large family from Liutun Town to Wuli Bridge. She hadn't gotten accustomed to it: "Third Elder Sister, we really aren't going back home?"

She had called You Jin Third Elder Sister for so many years. For a moment, she wasn't used to changing the addressment.

"You Ling want to go back?" You Jin didn't answer her question. Instead, she asked her this: "Does You Ling not like it here?"

You Ling's eyelids felt a little heavy. She thought for a while before shaking her head slightly: "This place is very good. There is no Father and Grandmother. No one beats us..."

Although You Ling was still young, she was also very reliant on You Jin. Although there was some anxiety and fear in her heart due to the completely unfamiliar environment. As long as Mrs. Su and others were by her side, the anxiety and fear have dissipated a lot.

"Then we won't go back. Here will be our home from now on." You Jin patted her lightly and coaxed her to sleep. The already very tired You Ling fell asleep peacefully within a moment. You Jin covered the quilts for the little ones beside her and fell asleep soon after.

In the dream, You Jin saw a young woman about 23-24 years old with a wicker-like body and a pair of almond eyes that looked very gentle. She gracefully bowed to You Jin: "Miss Su, thank you!"

Then she turned to walk into the distance. Gradually her figure disappeared into the vast white mist.

The golden light spilled into the house through the window. It was already bright outside, but no one in Su Family got up yet. You Jin rolled over comfortably before lazily opened her eyes. Looking at the dust flying happily in the sunlight in the room, she felt an inexplicable satisfied sense of idleness in her heart. She hadn't been free from the fear of someone suddenly rushing in to scold and beat her for so many years and can sleep late until the sun rises?

Thinking of the woman she dreamed of last night, it must be the miss from Qin Family who fiercely stabbed her husband. She recalled that there was absence of the gloomy air on her face last night. Instead, it was peaceful. After thanking her, the other turned around and left. She must have been reincarnated? Sitting on the kang, she pondered for a while. After a while, she sat up from the kang and gently covered the little ones who kicked the quilt. Only then, she got up, put on her shoes, and quietly walked out of the east wing to the kitchen. She have to prepare the family's breakfast.
