The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned Chapter 560

Chapter 560: Arriving At The Zhao Family

Zhao Linlin’s village was not small. There were about 40 to 50 families. They were situated at the foot of a mountain and surrounded by mountains.

When the tricycle entered the village, the sky was already dark. They could only vaguely see the road.

The lights of the tricycle was switched on. Occasionally, they would meet people carrying cows or hoes when they drove past.

They would greet Father Zhao even when they were in a hurry.

However, it was dark and the tricycle had a cover. The pa.s.sers-by did not notice that there was people sitting on the tricycle.

The sound of the tricycle drove into the village and towards the end of the village.

Zhao Linlin’s home was in the innermost part of the village.

The house was old and made of bricks.

However, Zhao Linlin’s family’s courtyard was very big and there were three brick houses.

Half of the courtyard was laid with cement, and the other half was dirt. The dirt half was fenced up and planted with flowers and vegetables. There were some shelves against the wall on the cement ground that held herbs, vegetables and fruits that needed to be dried.

The remaining cement ground was still very vacant even after the tricycle was parked.

When the tricycle drove into the courtyard, someone was packing herbs, vegetables and fruits on the shelves. It was a slightly stooped old man.

Hearing the sound of the tricycle, he stopped what he was doing and walked forward.

The few of them jumped down from the tricycle. Zhao Linlin said first, “Grandfather, I’m back.”

The others also called out “Grandpa Zhao”.

“It’s good that you’re back. These must be your cla.s.smates. Invite your cla.s.smates into our home. Your mother has prepared dinner and is waiting for you to come back to eat together.”

“Your brother is also at home. Get him to help move the luggage.” The old man’s vision was not good. Furthermore, the sky was a little dark, so he could not see their faces clearly. However, the old man could still tell if they were men or women.

He was a little surprised because Zhao Linlin had only said that she had roommates coming to play at home. She didn’t say that there would be boys. However, the old man didn’t ask her directly in front of them.

“Okay.”

Zhao Linlin answered and howled at her house, “Zhao Qian, come out and help move the things!”

Zhao Linlin’s “boldness” made Yan Jinyu and the other two raise their eyebrows.

They had not seen her like this in school previously. She was indeed at home.

While Zhao Linlin was howling, Jiang Xianyou and Yang Jun had already helped remove their luggage from the tricycle.

However, when they wanted to help the girls get out of the car, no one let them.

After Jiang Xianyou jumped out of the car first, Zhao Linlin jumped off the trishaw first, followed by Yan Jinyu, then Qin Xuan and Chu Xiaohuan.

Zhao Linlin was used to it. Yan Jinyu was skilled. As for Qin Xuan and Chu Xiaohuan, they were from big families after all. Naturally, they had practiced a few moves. It was just a small matter to jump down from a tricycle.

Even Yang Jun, who was still on the tricycle, was a little surprised.

Were all the girls in the Imperial Capital University so formidable?

He recalled that at the entrance of the village, he had to jump down to help Mo Qian get down from the tricycle. Her delicate appearance was completely incomparable to the girls in front of him.

His impression of Mo Qian worsened.

Hearing Zhao Linlin’s shout, a boy about the same height as Jiang Xianyou ran out. However, he exuded a youthful aura. It was obvious that he was a high school student.

Seeing the two boys, Zhao Qian was obviously stunned for a moment. He only stared at them for a brief moment and didn’t really size them up. “h.e.l.lo, big brothers and big sisters.”

“h.e.l.lo,” Chu Xiaohuan replied with a smile. “Linlin, your brother is really tall.”

“I think so too. He’s already so tall when he’s only in his second year of high school. I feel that my father’s tall genes are only pa.s.sed to him and not to me at all.”

“You’re not short either.”

The three boys casually picked up the luggage that were placed in a row. Yan Jinyu’s luggage happened to be beside Yang Jun’s. Just as Yang Jun was about to help carry it, the luggage landed in Yan Jinyu’s hand.

“I’ll do it myself.” She easily picked up the luggage.

Yang Jun’s jaw dropped in shock.

He was the one who got the luggage down from the tricycle just now. If he remembered correctly, this luggage looked small, but it was not light.

It was already a little difficult for him to carry it. Why did it look so light in Yan Jinyu’s hands?

She looked clearly thin and weak, as if she had no strength.

Jiang Xianyou also noticed this scene. He had handled that luggage too.

However, he was not as shocked as Yang Jun. He retracted his gaze after taking a look.

Qin Xuan and Chu Xiaohuan carried one suitcase together.

They moved all the luggage into the house.

Mother Zhao was a very kind middle-aged woman. She was burning wood and cooking in the kitchen. When she heard the commotion, she walked out and called Zhao Linlin and Zhao Qian to lead them to the clean guest rooms.

After cleaning three guest rooms, they originally planned to let Yan Jinyu and the other two stay in one room each.

Now that there were two more boys, they had to give up one room.

There was no need to discuss. The two boys would take one room, Qin Xuan and Chu Xiaohuan would take one, and Yan Jinyu would take one.

Qin Xuan and Chu Xiaohuan had agreed unanimously, so Yan Jinyu didn’t have any objections.

It was good that she stayed alone. Otherwise, if the other party turned around in her sleep, she might instinctively strangle the other party’s throat.

Not everyone was Yin Jiujin. He could make her completely let down her guard.

The guest room that Zhao Linlin’s family had tidied up was not big. There was only a bed and a simple wooden desk. It was very clean. The blanket on the bed was newly washed. There was also a faint smell of soap. The room had just been sprayed with Florida water, so there were no insects flying around.

Yan Jinyu put the luggage away and took out the gift that she had prepared from the luggage. She glanced at the quilt cover that she always brought along when she went out, but she didn’t take it out.

She closed the luggage.

In the past, she would change the quilt cover to the one that she brought whenever she went out to stay in a hotel.

In the other room, Jiang Xianyou and Yang Jun put down their things. Yang Jun, who knew Jiang Xianyou quite well, asked, “Are you alright for the two of us to sleep in one room, You?”

“I’m fine.” In their current situation, he couldn’t be fussy.

“I remember that you have a habit of changing the quilt cover when you stay in a hotel. Do you want to change this quilt cover?”

Jiang Xianyou paused when he heard that and glanced at the old but very clean bedsheets on the bed. “There’s no need for that.”

“What about the gift you prepared previously?”

Yang Jun was stunned, “What gift?”

Then, he reacted. “You mean, the gift I intended to give Mo Qian’s parents?”

Jiang Xianyou nodded.

He had come with Yang Jun and wasn’t familiar with Mo Qian. Since Yang Jun had already prepared a gift, he didn’t prepare one.

But now, he felt that it didn’t seem good to be empty-handed.

Yang Jun opened his luggage and took out two gift boxes, “They’re here. Why are you asking about this?”

After asking, Yang Jun finally reacted and was slightly surprised, “You want me to give these to Schoolmate Zhao’s family as a greeting gift?”

Undoubtedly, that was only right.

He was surprised because Jiang Xianyou said that.

“No, Brother, since when did you care about the ways of the world? You were unmoved when I said that I wanted to bring some gifts to Mo Qian’s family previously.”

“That’s because you’re prepared and that person is your friend and not mine.”

Yang Jun was even more stunned.

“But Schoolmate Zhao isn’t your friend either. Of course, she’s not my friend either.”

“Just because we’re not friends and we’re staying at her house now, do you think it’s appropriate to come empty-handed?”

In reality, was that really what Jiang Xianyou thought?

Perhaps only he knew if it was true.

Most of the time, he was unmoved because that person was unimportant.

At least, in Jiang Xianyou’s opinion, Mo Qian and Zhao Linlin were completely incomparable.

“You called your G.o.ddess by her full name. Are you planning not to pursue her anymore?”

The corners of Yang Jun’s lips twitched when he heard the word “G.o.ddess” from Jiang Xianyou.

“Brother, don’t mention it again. Just take it that my eyes were covered up by paper in the past. However, I don’t regret coming here. At least, I see it clearly now.”

“We even got to know a few top students from the Imperial Capital University. This trip was even more worthwhile.”

He took out the gift box and closed the suitcase. “Shall I bring these along?”

Jiang Xianyou nodded.

The two of them walked out of the room.

Zhao Linlin’s courtyard had three brick houses. The one in the middle was considered the main building. Other than the living room and kitchen, it was Zhao Linlin’s parents and grandfather’s rooms.

The brick house on the right was Zhao Linlin and Zhao Qian’s rooms. There was also a storage room and a guest room.

Qin Xuan and Chu Xiaohuan stayed in that guest room.

Hence, Yan Jinyu’s guest room and the two boys’ guest rooms were both in the left house.

When Jiang Xianyou and Yang Jun walked out of the guest room, they happened to see Yan Jinyu coming out of the room opposite.

At that moment, Yan Jinyu was also holding a gift in her hand.

“Schoolmate Yan,” Yang Jun greeted her warmly.

Jiang Xianyou nodded as a form of greeting.

Yan Jinyu nodded slightly.

The three of them went over together.

When they went over, Qin Xuan and Chu Xiaohuan were already there.

The dining table was in the living room. There was a long wooden table with short bamboo chairs around it.

Yan Jinyu said, “Linlin, this is a gift I brought for Grandpa Zhao, Uncle and Auntie.”

Zhao Linlin’s mother stood up first, “Hey, you children. It’s fine if you’re here, but why did you bring us gifts?”

“Zhao Qian, quickly accept your brother and sister’s gift.”

“Give everything to Zhao Qian. Go wash your hands and come eat. There’s water in the kitchen. You’ve been on the road for the entire day and it’s already this late. You should be hungry.”

There were a few gift boxes on the square table in front of them. They should have been brought by Qin Xuan and Chu Xiaohuan.

Yan Jinyu handed the things to Zhao Qian and washed her hands according to the instructions.

Speaking of was.h.i.+ng their hands, if she hadn’t led the way, Jiang Xianyou and Yang Jun probably wouldn’t have understood how to use such a tap.

“You even know how to use this, Schoolmate Yan? I’ll go to my maternal grandfather’s house occasionally. My maternal grandfather’s house is in the countryside. I can’t even do what you do.” Yang Jun sighed. “I thought you were a rich young lady who has never done any hard work before.”

It’s true that she is a rich young lady, but she has done some hard work before.

This was what Jiang Xianyou was thinking.

Although the Yan Jinyu he knew only came from rumors, he wasn’t wrong about that.

Yan Jinyu had indeed done some hard work before.

The Zhao Family’s dishes were all home-cooked dishes, but they were exceptionally sumptuous.

In order to entertain them, they specially killed a chicken and a duck and even cooked a lot of dishes.

“I heard from Linlin’s father that the two of you are Qianqian’s cla.s.smates. Did you come to our village to find inspiration for the design compet.i.tion?”
