~7 min read 1,322 words

Seeing someone arrive, the woman said politely: "Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou, let's chat when we have time. I'll go first."

"Okay," Jian Qiu and Zhou Andong replied at the same time.

The woman turned and left. Jian Qiu took Zhou Anqin's hand and looked at her wearing a tracksuit: "Morning run?"

"That's right!" Zhou Anqin asked: "You wouldn't be here to send Fourth Sister to school, would you?"

Jian Qiu said with a smile: "We're just sending Fourth Sister to school."

Zhou Anqin looked at Zhou Andong in surprise: "Brother, you're actually able to get up early to send Fourth Sister to school? Did the sun rise in the west?"

Zhou Andong snorted: "Did the sun rise in the west? Didn't you see it when you went out for a run this morning?"

Zhou Anqin laughed loudly, hugging Jian Qiu's arm: "Sister-in-law, do you have anything to do today?"

Jian Qiu asked: "Do you have something?"

Zhou Anqin nodded: "I want to sell two pieces of clothing, will you accompany me?"

"Sure," Jian Qiu promised. "You go back to school to eat and change clothes first, and I'll wait for you and your brother at Dicos."

The three walked back and then separated at the entrance of Dicos.

Zhou Andong and Jian Qiu entered Dicos. It was quite cold outside, so they each ordered a cup of hot soy milk.

Zhou Anqin returned to the dormitory and found only Huang Yu, the Sichuan girl, there.

She was lying on the bed, holding a pen, copying something into a notebook.

"Huang Yu, why aren't you going to eat breakfast? What are you writing?"

Huang Yu poked her head out from the upper bunk and said with a grin: "I'm copying the Zhou Andong Quotations."

"Zhou Andong Quotations?" Zhou Anqin was a bit confused: "What is that?"

"Ahem!"

Huang Yu flipped over and sat up, holding the notebook and reciting.

"I have no regrets entering China in this life; I will be Chinese again in the next."

"If you can't do great things, use great love to do ordinary things."

"I always believe that all efforts in life have rewards. I always believe that all suffering is a form of practice."

"You smell my perfume, but you don't see my sweat. You have your rules, I have my choices..."

"Dreams are a journey destined to be lonely. There will be no shortage of doubts and ridicule on the road, but so what? Even if covered in bruises, you must live beautifully."

"The peace and quiet of today are because someone is carrying the burden for us."

"I was not born in the prosperity of ancient times, and I did not experience the hardships of the past. In this prosperous world, I have promised deep love. Born at the right time, not failing the present, I wish to entrust my heart to China in this life, and give the years to the mountains and rivers."

"..."

Huang Yu recited all the excerpts from Zhou Andong's interviews and speeches and said proudly.

"How about it? My idol's talent is not just for show, right?"

Zhou Anqin nodded solemnly: "Indeed, Zhou Andong is very talented."

"Right!"

Huang Yu put away her notebook and climbed down with another notebook.

"It is said that the Zhou Andong Quotations spread from Beijing Normal University. I borrowed this from a sophomore senior sister, and I promised to return it to her this morning."

"Are you going to eat breakfast?" Zhou Anqin found her clothes.

"Yes!" Huang Yu said: "Wasn't I waiting for you?"

Zhou Anqin changed her clothes and went to the restaurant with Huang Yu, where they found a seat after getting their food.

Huang Yu asked: "Today is Sunday, where are you going to play?"

Zhou Anqin said: "I made an appointment with my sister-in-law to buy clothes."

Huang Yu's face fell: "They all ran away, and you made an appointment with someone to go shopping. It's so boring for me to be alone."

Zhou Anqin said with a smile: "Don't you like drilling into alleys?"

"I've drilled into all the ones I should, and there's no other place to drill," Huang Yu bit into a bun listlessly: "Forget it, it's so cold today, I'll just sleep in the dormitory."

Zhou Anqin shook her head helplessly: "Why don't you come shopping with us?"

"Okay," Huang Yu agreed without thinking, and immediately regained her spirit: "Hurry up and eat. After eating, I'll return the notebook to the senior sister, then find your sister-in-law, and we'll go shopping."

After they finished eating, Huang Yu ran to return the notebook to the senior sister, then returned to the dormitory to put on a hat.

"Let's go."

Zhou Andong and Jian Qiu were sitting at a window seat on the first floor. Jian Qiu called An Jing, who was at a branch store and wouldn't be able to come over until the afternoon.

"It's been over an hour, why haven't they come yet."

Zhou Andong checked the time; there were already three empty soy milk cups in front of him.

His voice had just fallen when he saw Zhou Anqin and a girl walking over from afar.

"They're here."

Jian Qiu said with a smile, put on the down jacket that was draped over the back of the chair, and went out the door.

Zhou Andong also put on his cotton-padded jacket, put on his sunglasses, followed out, and then stood by the roadside to light a cigarette.

"Brother, Sister-in-law."

Zhou Anqin called out, then introduced them: "Huang Yu, my dormitory sister, she's a Sichuan girl."

"Brother, Sister-in-law, hello." Huang Yu shook hands with Zhou Andong and Jian Qiu generously.

"Huh?" Huang Yu looked at Zhou Andong several times in confusion and muttered something.

Jian Qiu asked: "Where are you going to buy clothes?"

"To Tebiete," Zhou Anqin said: "It's been so long, I haven't been to see it."

Tebiete. Hearing this name, Zhou Andong was stunned, and then laughed.

"Let's go!"

It was the end of 1993. Li Laoban, who had been infinitely glorious, was estimated to have lost everything in the foreign exchange market and had gone to be an actor.

However, although Li Laoban lost in the foreign exchange market and even sold Tebiete.

But the family assets he had saved before were not small. Relying on these, he would still be a wealthy man in the future.

Moreover, that courtyard of Li Laoban in the East City should not be too far from Anqiu Hutong, but he didn't know the specific location.

As for the rumor that he could plant five hundred cherry trees in the courtyard, it was actually in Changping.

"Brother!" Zhou Anqin saw her brother standing there absent-mindedly and shouted: "Get in the car."

"Coming!"

Zhou Andong came back to his senses and sat in the passenger seat, still pondering.

Li Laoban got such a large piece of land in Changping to build a courtyard, so he should also take advantage of this time when the policy is loose to get a piece of land to build a villa.

In the future, when the brothers from his hometown come over, they can live there, eat barbecue, stew some geese, sing songs, etc., which is also quite good.

Jian Qiu saw Zhou Andong pondering something with his head down, and her curiosity also emerged: "Hey, why are you always distracted? What are you thinking about?"

Zhou Andong raised his head and said with a smile: "I'm thinking about getting a piece of land in Changping to build a villa."

At this time, the shock on Huang Yu's face had not disappeared. She looked at Zhou Anqin beside her, then at the back of Zhou Andong's head in front, and her heartbeat became faster and faster.

She didn't expect, really didn't expect, that Zhou Anqin, this dead girl, didn't lie to them. Zhou Andong was really her brother.
