MTL - Happiness Consist in Contentment-v17 Chapter 15
Fortunately, Zhuo Qing didn't care too much. But when Mother Liu gradually got used to it, she didn't hold Liu Fang so tightly anymore. Although she would still cook delicious food when she came back from a rare vacation, she wouldn't completely revolve around her. At any rate, she also took care of Zhuo Qing, Father Liu and the others.
During this period, the most pitiful ones were Liu Wei and Liu Jie.
Liu Fang is working in the research institute. She has already started to make money before she is an adult, but what about the two of them? But still relying on Liu's father and mother to make a living. Although they also do part-time jobs to earn tuition fees and ease their burdens, compared to Liu Fang, they are really nothing.
Even Liu Wei, who has already practiced, can't compare to Liu Fang.
Who told Liu Fang to have researched the phased results in the first month, which can be applied to real agricultural planting? The salary that the institute gave her that month was one million yuan, of course, including bonuses.
Moreover, Liu Fang is not an intern in the laboratory. She is the person in charge of the leading experiment in the laboratory. The rank is different, and the salary is naturally different.
Although domestic scientific researchers do not have foreign money, it does not mean that their wages are low. On the contrary, the wages of such rare scientific research talents are not low.
Anyway, compared with Liu Fang's salary, Liu Wei and Liu Jie's two brothers are the rhythm of being sprayed by Liu's mother in various ways.
"Tell me about you, you are all brothers, how much older than your sister? How embarrassing to eat and drink at home every day? Look at how much your sister earns? This person is smart but not the same. …”
Liu Wei, Liu Jie: …
The heart block is certain, and it is not enough to say that it will make Liu Fang feel bad about it. After all, they all have self-knowledge. There is no one in ten thousand geniuses like Liu Fang. They are ordinary people, and they are not ashamed if they are not comparable. They dare to say that most people are not comparable.
When you think about it, it doesn't really matter. The mother-in-law likes to nag. It is nothing more than a bit of hatred for them, and she is very proud of Liu Fang, her daughter. She can't help but say a few words to be happy.
These are all things that elderly aunts like to do the most. Liu Wei and Liu Jie have long been used to it.
Therefore, every time the brothers hear each other, they just look at each other, knowing each other: It is because of you that I am nagged by my mother, hum!
Not to mention Liu Wei, the two brothers Liu Jie were tired of listening to Liu's mother's show off, and Zhuo Qing had listened to it too much and felt nothing.
At the beginning,
She also persuaded Mother Liu not to push the two brothers too tightly, but later she found that Mother Liu was just nagging and had no other intentions at all. She just listened to it, and didn't care at all.
Liu Fang's work is busy, but she still has vacations. She lives at Liu's house most of the time, and occasionally goes back to Zhuo's house to stay for a while.
After a long time, the movement of the two families has become more and more with Liu Fang and Zhuo Qing, and gradually the two families are used to it.
Just like now Zhuo's mother occasionally invites Liu's mother to play mahjong and beauty, while Liu's mother will ask Zhuo's mother to go to the supermarket to buy discounted daily necessities...
The children of the two families naturally have contacts.
Zhuo Ting knew that Liu Wei had done a bidding plan for a large group, so he asked him to come to Zhuo's Group and let him join the responsible team of the new agricultural base.
And Zhuo Rui and Liu Jie often hang out together because of their hobbies, which makes Zhuo Rui not in the mood to go to work.
This made Zhuo Ting very strange. He didn't understand what Zhuo Rui was doing. After Zhuo Rui asked for leave again, Zhuo Ting couldn't help but stop him and said, "What the **** are you doing? Can't get into this class? Although you are a manager, but you can’t fish for three days and dry the net for two days, and look like you have no intention of working, tell me, what the **** are you doing?”
But Zhuo Rui didn't have time to say anything to Zhuo Tingduo at all, he just said, "You will know later."
Then he pushed him away and left in a hurry.
Seeing the figure of Zhuo Rui leaving in a hurry, he shook his head angrily: He really wanted to throw this younger brother home, so as to save a day and see himself angry.
...
After today's test, Zhuo Rui collapsed on the chair and didn't want to move at all.
Liu Jie also looked half-dead, almost falling asleep with his eyes closed.
Zhuo Rui felt a little flustered when he thought of how big brother was blocking him today, he pushed Liu Jie and said to Liu Jie, "My brother may know, what do you think I should do? If he goes back and tells my dad, let me Dad knows, then I... I must be finished!"
He secretly took computer courses at school, and he kept it a secret from Zhuo Ting and Zhuo's father.
Zhuo Rui has thought about it, he can just mix in as usual in his major, and he doesn't need to be like his big brother, the whole outstanding graduate or something. Father Zhuo doesn't care about that anyway.
Liu Jie opened his eyes, lazy
Yangyang said: "No way? Besides, can't you tell them frankly? Actually, you are very talented, much better than me."
Zhuo Rui hesitated and said, "Actually, I don't know either. Sometimes I think my parents and my mother are very open-minded, but sometimes I think they are very rigid. I really don't know if I should tell them this. ."
Liu Jie didn't understand his entanglement, "Why are you so afraid of your parents? I think they're okay, at least they won't beat you with a belt."
When Zhuo Rui heard Liu Jie's words, he looked at him curiously and said, "Why, were you drawn by your father when you were young?"
Liu Jie: ...is that the point? Dear.
He saw inexplicable gloating in Zhuo Rui's eyes. What happened?
Liu Jie rolled his eyes angrily and said, "Who hasn't been smoked when he was a child? Don't you?"
Zhuo Rui: ...well, he shouldn't be gloating about it.
He couldn't help but sighed and said, "I kept thinking when I was a child, why am I not a girl? If I were a girl, my dad would never want to smoke me."
Liu Jie: ...Tsk, another poor baby who was pitted by a family that prioritized women over men.
He looked at Zhuo Rui and said, "Actually, it's still too late for you to change gender."
Zhuo Rui looked at him and said, "Are you sure you don't want my dad to beat me to death?"
Liu Jie grinned, Zhuo Rui snorted, turned his head and said, "Transgender is impossible, if I really dare to do this, my dad will definitely destroy my rhythm. But you are also right, I always You can't continue to do it so sneakily, you still have to make it clear to them. Let's show him when we have the finished product."
Liu Jie closed his eyes and said lightly, "At the end of the day, you're still afraid that your dad will slap you."
Zhuo Rui: ...What nonsense are you talking about! What a nuisance!
...
Regarding Zhuo Rui's matter, Zhuo Ting, the elder brother, is still a bit loyal. He didn't tell Zhuo's father and Zhuo's mother, and even covered him in front of his parents.
But who is Father Zhuo? Mother Zhuo is not stupid. She saw through the tricks of her two sons at a glance, but they didn't get to the bottom of it. After all, the children are so old, it's normal to have a little secret or something, as long as they don't commit **** and commit crimes, and don't make troubles that violate the moral law.
Zhuo Qing is now wholeheartedly preparing for the college entrance examination. She has a talented sister, she can't be too bad, at least she has to be admitted to a key university, so she is embarrassed to say that she is Liu Fang's sister, isn't it?
Anyway, the family lived a full and busy life. Zhuo's father and Zhuo's mother watched Zhuo Qing gradually adapt to the life of the Zhuo family, and planned to wait for her to enter the university before starting her original plan to travel around the world.
Time passed so leisurely. After Zhuo Qing was admitted to Qingda University with excellent grades, Zhuo's father and Zhuo's mother really let go, packed up and went on a trip.
Zhuo Ting also led the team to successfully bid for the new agricultural base project. Liu Wei's performance in it surprised him, so he gave him an inaugural promise in advance, and he could come to work directly after graduation. After the successful bidding of this project, Liu Wei also got the generous bonus he deserved.
Although he is only a temporary hire, his talent is really good, and the rest of the team sees his value, so no one is jealous of his generous bonus. On the contrary, they are very happy to make friends with Liu Wei, and hope to have the opportunity to cooperate in the future.
This is also a thorough reform of personnel appointment standards that the Zhuo Group has carried out in recent years, which is based entirely on strength. In this way, a large number of people who are fishing in troubled waters have been dismissed, and there are not many people who are motivated. What remains are relatively young people with strong skills. Very strong enterprising spirit, but also a person who advocates fairness and competes by strength.
In this way, the atmosphere of the whole group is completely different. Less intrigue, office factions, etc., more active atmosphere under healthy competition, unite as one, and work hard to move forward.
And such a company also allows more people to see the future development space and greater value of Zhuo Group.
This is also the reason why Zhuo's father let go completely and let Zhuo Ting take over the group.
After all, his age is really not suitable for reform and innovation. Zhuo Ting is young, more energetic, and more enterprising. When he comes to reform and innovate, it is completely different. It can make the group more cohesive and can also build on the trend. Raise his prestige in the group.
The successful bidding this time has laid a solid foundation for Zhuo Ting to completely take over the group. As long as the construction of the new agricultural base is completed, then Zhuo Ting can take over the group logically, and Zhuo's father is truly retired.
...
Liu Wei got this huge bonus, and immediately gave more than half of it to Liu's mother - this is also their family tradition. Liu's mother can afford the money, and everyone in the family has her savings. I took it because I was afraid that they would be young and spend all their money with great urgency.
used up.
Of course, Liu Fang's mother didn't want Liu Fang's money, not because Liu Fang was unwilling to give it, but because Liu Fang felt that Liu Fang's temperament was stable and would not spend money indiscriminately, and she was particularly assured that she would save the money herself.
For Liu's mother's upright partiality, the brothers Liu Wei and Liu Jie could only get used to it after a little heartbreak.
That's right, from Zhuo Qing to Liu Fang, they have deeply realized that both in Zhuo's house and in Liu's house, daughters are more precious.
However, this time, when Mother Liu received the money from Liu Wei, she praised him very rarely: "Well, yes, I can make money anyway."
Liu Wei: …
Although he was praised, he didn't feel happy, how could he break it?
When Liu Fang came back from a rare vacation, Liu Wei secretly dragged her and said, "Fangfang, can you tell your mother about your future salary? Look at how she dislikes your brother, what happened to me, I gave it to you last time. She turned 50,000 yuan, and she just said..."
After listening to Liu Wei's words, Liu Fang couldn't help laughing at his pitiful appearance, but she knew that Liu Wei had a good face, so she held back her laughter and said, "Okay, then I won't tell my mother in the future. That's all. Brother, don't worry."
Only then did Liu Wei relieved and smiled, "Thank you, sister."
Liu Fang nodded and hurried back to her room, closing the door and couldn't help laughing.
The brothers are so cute!
☆、Other types are content and happy to wear
Before Zhuo's father and Zhuo's mother went on a trip, they still sent Zhuo Qing to Qingda to report together, and of course the Liu family were also together.
Because of Zhuo Ting and Liu Wei's four older brothers, Zhuo Qing naturally didn't need to line up or take luggage. The four of them queued up, carried luggage, made beds and so on.
Liu Fang is still in the laboratory and has to come later. Therefore, the two families accompanied Xian Zhuoqing.
When the roommates in the same dormitory saw that Zhuo Qing had so many family members and four such handsome brothers helping her with her work, they were immediately envious.
Because Zhuo's father and Zhuo's mother carried out online rights protection with great fanfare two years ago, and time has passed for so long, not many people still remember the sensational gossip about the rich and powerful family changing their daughters. Therefore, under Zhuo Qing's low-key dress, the roommates did not expect that she would be the daughter of a wealthy family, a real rich daughter.
A few girls got to know each other, and they all felt that they were very compatible. For the time being, Zhuo Qing is full of expectations for the future life in the university, and also thinks that the roommates are easy to get along with.
After finishing the luggage and beds, the family left the dormitory first, went to the school cafeteria to have a look, and then went to the parking lot to prepare to leave.
Along the way, they were chatting about household stuff. Zhuo Qing was too focused on looking at the surrounding campus environment. She didn't pay attention for a while, and bumped into a boy with a book.
"sorry Sorry."
The boy quickly apologized, and stretched out his hand to support Zhuoqing, then let go.
Zhuo Qing covered her forehead and stood firm. She glanced at him and saw that the other party was handsome and elegant, wearing a pair of boundless glasses. It was the look in her eyes that made her feel uncomfortable for a moment.
I can't tell the feeling that the other party looks very clean and simple, which is also in line with the aesthetics of today's girls, and belongs to the handsome guy, but Zhuo Qing just feels that the other party is very awkward and strange, which makes her feel particularly not bullying.
She nodded coldly and said, "It's okay."
Then ready to leave.
At this time, Father Liu and the others had turned around and saw Zhuo Qing covering her forehead. They thought she was injured, so they walked back and asked with concern, "What's wrong, Qingqing? Did you hit your head?"
Zhuo Qing released her hand covering her forehead, smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just didn't pay attention, so I bumped into someone."
Zhuo's mother, Liu's mother saw that Zhuo Qing's forehead was not swollen and swollen, probably because she touched it just now. They were relieved and took Zhuo Qing to the side to confirm that she was still alive
Is there anything.
Zhuo Ting and Liu Wei suddenly looked at the boy, Zhuo Rui, and Liu Jie bent down to help him pick up the knocked-off book.
Zhuo Ting looked at the boy and said, "I'm sorry, my sister didn't pay attention just now, are you okay?"
The boy smiled and said, "It's okay, it's because I didn't see the way, that's why it's like this, it should be me saying I'm sorry."
Liu Wei raised his eyebrows slightly at the other party, and smiled lightly, "Since it was an accident, then everyone is fine, so it won't delay you."
After all, the four brothers kept up with Zhuo's father and others who had already left.
The boy watched them walk away, his eyes flashed under his glasses, and he frowned slightly: Why did the two families send her to report together?
...
What happened just now, Zhuo Qing didn't take it to heart. She went to the parking lot with her family and saw Liu Fang who was already waiting here. Zhuo Qing ran over with a smile and rushed to Liu Fang's side, holding her hand. "Sister, are you finally here?"
Liu Fang smiled and said, "Fortunately, I caught up. Today is your school day. I will definitely come, but it's late, don't be angry!"
Zhuo Qing pouted and said, "I'm not angry, it's because you are so busy, you took the time to come here, I'm very sorry."
"What's the matter? The work will never be finished. It is still very important for you to enter the university in your life. Why should I come here?"
"Hee hee, sister, you are so nice."
…
Zhuo's father and others saw the two sisters talking and laughing, and they were in a good relationship. left.
Zhuo Qing returned to the dormitory by herself and officially started her university life.
There are always all kinds of funny and hard things happening when freshmen enter the school. Zhuo Qing has been learning boxing ever since she returned to Zhuo's house, and now she has achieved some results. Although I can't say that she is a master, but her physique has indeed become a lot stronger, at least she doesn't feel that it is very hard, and she can persevere.
In this way, she naturally became the pacesetter of their class, and was brought up by the instructor as a demonstration, always praising her.
The other three girls in the same dormitory also belonged to the same department as Zhuo Qing, so they were naturally trained in the same class.
Seeing that Zhuo Qing, who was so delicate and beautiful, was so powerful, they were so impressed that they couldn't help but ask Zhuo Qing every time she was resting, if she was born in sports.
But this was purely a joke. They all knew that Zhuo Qing was admitted to Qingda University with the top score of liberal arts in Beijing, so she couldn't possibly be a sports student.
Because of the military training, a few girls especially like Zhuo Qing, who is quite different, and think she is really a very good person.
Being able to endure hardships, not complaining, and not having so many careful thoughts, such a roommate is the perfect roommate for a girl who has just entered the university.
In fact, girls, they are also afraid of the kind of person who is very careful, or the charming lady who can't bear hardships.
Nowadays, most people's family environment is actually not bad. Who doesn't grow up with their parents holding them in the palm of their hands? All of them are actually quite arrogant, but they don't understand what good character is. They don't have high requirements for roommates who will be with them for four years, as long as they don't want to be too lazy to do dormitory hygiene, and they are unwilling to take care of personal hygiene. , I still think about sowing discord all day long, and it's enough to create some small faction and small group.
Zhuo Qing also thinks so, as long as her roommate's personality is not too difficult to get along with, she wants to get along well with each other and spend these four years happily.
In addition to training, there are of course all kinds of gossip, such as who is handsome, who is beautiful, who dances well, who sings well...
However, Zhuo Qing usually listened with a smile and seldom expressed her opinion.
On this day, several officers of the student union came over with frozen drinks to cool off the heat for the newly enrolled juniors. Zhuo Qing suddenly saw the boy who bumped into her last time.
It's not that she was deeply impressed by this boy, but the feeling that the other party gave her was too unique. As soon as she saw the other party, she could feel the awkwardness again, and she naturally remembered it.
Zhuo Qing lowered her eyes and sat in the shade to rest.
This kind of activity is approved by the school teachers, in fact, they are afraid that they will really make mistakes. The school itself also prepares herbal tea to cool off the heat and quench thirst.
Zhuo Qing usually takes a thermos cup and then a large pot to drink slowly.
Several roommates in the same dormitory are also reluctant to drink those frozen drinks. The girls are still very careful about this aspect.
But they didn't move, but someone came over with a drink. It was the boy who made Zhuo Qing feel very uncomfortable.
The boy didn't seem to recognize Zhuo Qing, so he brought a few bottles of drinks to them and left with a smile.
Although the roommates didn't accept the bottles and gave them to other classmates, they still had a good impression of the boy.
"This study
He looks quite handsome. "
"A gentleman is like jade, he really looks like those ancient sons written in the poem."
"Yeah, yeah, it's really comfortable and clean. At first glance, it's the kind of peerless good man whose soul is shining."
…
Listening to their discussion, Zhuo Qing lowered her head and frowned slightly. Why did she feel that the other party was more like a robe/crown/bird/beast?
In fact, she is not a person who likes to deny others, and she seldom hates a person for the first time.
But this person really gave her a very uncomfortable and uncomfortable feeling.
I always feel that everything the other party shows is fake.
Maybe it's because she has seen more people in the rich circle in the past two years in Zhuo's family, and her sense of people is completely different from before.
She is now always quick to tell the truth or a lie of the people she meets for the first time. After all, in the rich circle, such communication with masks, politeness and alienation is actually quite common.
Therefore, now, Zhuo Qing is really not as simple as before, so easy to trust people.
Especially after Qiao Xiuya in high school, it made her feel that people are complicated, and what they see on the surface may not be true, and whether a person is sincere or not can actually be felt.
Anyway, Zhuo Qing didn't feel sincerity in that boy.
However, she just thought about it, and then put it down, completely leaving this person behind, and didn't bother about who the other person was.
...
After the military training, Zhuo Qing returned to Zhuo's house and looked at the empty house. Of course, there were housekeepers and servants, but Zhuo's father and mother had already gone on a trip, and they brought Liu's father and mother with him. I think the whole house is empty.
Zhuo Ting is busy with company affairs, and most of the time he doesn't come back. Zhuo Rui doesn't know what he's doing. Anyway, he hangs out with Liu Jie and doesn't stay home all day. Liu Wei is still busy with his studies, and his classes are very tight. Liu Fang is also busy with research and spends most of the time in the research institute.
Zhuo Qing felt that she was really the most idle one in the family.
Thinking of this, she simply asked the housekeeper to arrange for her a foreign language teacher to continue to teach her.
In fact, she has learned English, French, and German before, and now she plans to challenge some difficult languages. Anyway, she is only a freshman, and it is when she is not too busy.
As a result, Zhuo Qing adapts to the new university life while studying foreign languages during the holidays.
On this day, Zhuo Qing finished
Public class, packed up, hurried out of the classroom, rushed to the last major major class.
But just in the corridor, she collided with the boy again. Zhuo Qing didn't react at all this time, and subconsciously pushed her hard, knocking him down and falling to the ground, and she also heard him. His ankle seemed to snap.
Zhuo Qing: …
She was really frightened and didn't know how to react for a while.
But the boy didn't say anything, just propped himself up. When he was about to leave, he found that his foot was really twisted, and he couldn't stand still.
Zhuo Qing blushed and said very embarrassedly, "I'm sorry. I overreacted. I'll accompany you to the infirmary first."
The boy stretched out his hand to support the wall, this time, he didn't have anything, not even a book, he looked at Zhuo Qing and smiled, and said very gently, "It's okay, if you're in a hurry for class, then go first. I can do it by myself."
Zhuo Qing looked at him and wanted to say something else, but suddenly an uncomfortable feeling filled her heart again. She frowned and said, "Are you sure you can?"
The boy nodded, "Well, I'm really fine. The infirmary is downstairs. I can do it myself."
There is an elevator in the teaching building, so he was right, one person can go there.
Seeing his insistence, Zhuo Qing said, "My name is Zhuo Qing, this year's third class of the literature department, you can ask me to reimburse you for medical expenses after you see the doctor, and I will take care of it."
The boy smiled and said, "My name is Yuan Hui, and I'm in the second grade, first class of the management department."
Zhuo Qing frowned, always feeling that what the other party said had no meaning, but she didn't bother too much, nodded, and walked away from him.
Yuan Hui turned to look at the back of Zhuo Qing who was walking away, and smiled lightly. You still can't escape my hand, Qingqing.
...
After Zhuo Qing finished her big class, she hurried to the infirmary and asked the doctor Yuan Hui if she had seen a doctor. The doctor found out the medical records and told her that the other party was indeed here, but it was not a big problem, it was just twisted, and it was fine after rubbing the medicinal wine.
When Zhuo Qing heard what the doctor said, she was completely relieved, but she thought that Yuan Hui didn't come to ask her for medical expenses or anything.
In this way, Zhuo Qing left this matter behind.
...
But when the midterm exam was over and Zhuo Qing was on vacation and was about to go home and relax, Yuan Hui came to look for her.
Zhuo Qing
Confused, he walked downstairs to the dormitory under the teasing expressions of several roommates and met Yuan Hui.
I saw Yuan Hui wearing a white shirt and dark trousers, standing under the tree waiting for her with the appearance of a school prince charming, holding a bunch of flowers in his hand.
When Zhuo Qing saw the other party's posture, she immediately understood that she wanted to turn around and leave, but then she thought, if he insisted on waiting for her to come out, wouldn't she have become a gossip news personality in the school?
This is a girls' dormitory building. Most girls like to watch this kind of gossip very much. Even if they are just watching the excitement, they will help Yuan Hui to find her.
Zhuo Qing didn't want to make trouble like that, and at the same time, she felt extremely disgusted with Yuan Hui running over to do it without saying a word.
So, she walked over and found Yuan Hui in front of her. No matter how bright he saw her smile, Zhuo Qing said coldly, "Are you here to ask me for medical expenses?"
Yuan Hui's smile froze: "…
Does he look like he's coming to her for medical bills?
Yuan Hui really didn't expect Zhuo Qing to become like this now, he endured the anger in his heart, smiled and said, "Zhuo Qing, hello. Let me officially introduce myself, my name is Yuan Hui, I was born in Beijing, my parents …”
Zhuo Qing interrupted him, "I'm sorry, I refuse to accept any of your words."
The smile on Yuan Hui's face froze again, and he almost didn't hold back his expression, but fortunately he held it in time, maintaining a gentle expression, "Why? You didn't even listen to me."
Zhuo Qing said lightly, "I don't need to finish listening, because I never planned to accept it. If you came to me for the medical bills, I will give it, but if you have other things to ask me, I'm sorry, but I'm leaving."
After speaking, Zhuo Qing didn't care what Yuan Hui was thinking or what her expression was, she just turned around and left, went back to the dormitory to continue packing, and was ready to go home.
...
Yuan Hui, who was standing downstairs, lowered his head, his eyes were cold, and he wanted to escape? Hmph, don't even think about it!
Impossible in this lifetime!
Zhuo Qing, wait for me!
Yuan Hui raised his head and glanced coldly at the dormitory building, threw the bunch of flowers in his hand into the trash can, and turned around and left.
Zhuo Qing didn't know Yuan Hui's thoughts at all. She packed her things, went to the school gate, got in the car and went back to Zhuo's house.
As soon as he entered the door, the housekeeper said, "Miss is back."
Because the relationship between Liu Fang and Zhuo Qing is getting better and better, the housekeeper and the others followed the instructions of Zhuo's father and Zhuo's mother, according to their age.
Ji, came to line up the eldest and second misses.
Zhuo Qing also agreed very much. After all, Liu Fang was really kind to her, and she was also a member of the Zhuo family.
Hearing that Liu Fang was back, Zhuo Qing was very happy, smiled and happily ran up to the second floor and went to Liu Fang's room to find her.
Liu Fang just came out of the shower, saw Zhuo Qing running in, smiled, and said, "School is over? How is it? Are the classes tight, or are you used to it?"
Zhuo Qing smiled and said, "Fortunately, I'm quite used to it. By the way, sister, are you free recently? I just finished the midterm exam. I have a few days off. How about we go out to play for two days?"
Liu Fang nodded, "Okay, it just so happens that my research institute is fine. By the way, in a few days I may go to the school as a part-time course, and then I can go with you..."
"Really? That's great."
…
The sisters chatted and laughed, then ate dinner together, watched a movie together, and then went to sleep separately. The next day, they packed up and drove straight to play.
