After being reborn, I have seven older sisters.

At this moment, Song Hongqin had the same thought as Song Chunsheng.

She didn't like this distant cousin very much to begin with, and what she just witnessed made her feel an even stronger sense of disgust.

Seeing that Song Chunsheng remained silent and just stared at her, Song Hongqin immediately understood what he meant: he was waiting for her to speak!

She also understood that although Sun Jianshe and Chunsheng's seventh sister were currently on blind dates, they had only met a few times and there had been no substantial development.

Moreover, from some conversations between Sun Jianshe and his mother Sun Fengxia, she could vaguely sense that Chunsheng's seventh sister seemed to be dissatisfied with him, her distant cousin. Otherwise, Sun Jianshe would not have revealed such anxiety and frustration in his words.

Therefore, it's perfectly normal for Song Chunsheng to be unwilling to associate himself with Sun Jianshe in front of his teacher at this time.

Song Hongqin pursed her lips, looking somewhat embarrassed as she smiled at Li Yufeng, "This is... a distant relative of our village accountant's family, probably just visiting!"

Chunsheng saw that Song Hongqin was also distancing herself from Sun Jianshe, and what she said almost made him burst out laughing.

She only mentioned that the other party was related to the village accountant, completely ignoring the fact that the village accountant was her biological father.

Li Yufeng nodded meaningfully, "It seems that the relationships between neighbors in your village are indeed quite good!"

Sun Jianshe originally thought that he, as the future brother-in-law and cousin of his aunt, would introduce himself to the beautiful female teacher in front of him in a very grand manner. After all, a promising young man like himself, who wears a watch and carries a leather bag, is definitely a rare find in a poor place like Songjiazhuang.

To his disappointment, his younger cousin introduced him to her teacher so casually, without mentioning that he worked at the cotton mill in the county town. Chunsheng, being rather clueless, just stood there silently.

It seems that these children from the Loess Plateau, who haven't seen much of the world, are indeed not as clever or eloquent as the children in their Huaxi Commune. They don't understand any social etiquette or worldly wisdom.

Sun Jianshe frowned slightly in annoyance, deliberately coughed lightly, and was about to give himself a formal introduction from all angles when Song Hongqin suddenly ran into the room, grabbed his shiny, fashionable leather bag from the octagonal table, and stuffed it into his arms.

"Our teacher is coming for a home visit, and she has several important questions to discuss with Chunsheng and me! Why don't you go back to Accountant Song's house at the west end of the village for a while, and then come visit us later? How does that sound?"

"I..." Sun Jianshe, clutching his shiny leather bag, stared at Song Hongqin with a look of surprise, unsure of what to say.

Just as he was gathering his emotions and pondering what to do next, Li Yufeng turned to Song Chunsheng and said, "Is the teacher planning to make me stand here and talk the whole time since this is the first time she's come to your house?"

Li Yufeng's joke immediately broke the deadlock.

Song Chunsheng immediately put on an apologetic look and quickly said with a smile, "I was slow to react, Teacher Li, let's go inside and sit down..."

After ushering Li Yufeng into the main room, Song Chunsheng glanced back at Song Hongqin and urged, "Come on over and listen to the reprimand!"

"knew!"

Song Hongqin responded softly, then turned her gaze back to Sun Jianshe's face, feigning anxiety, "You'd better hurry up! What our teacher is saying later is extremely important. If we don't do well, we'll definitely have to repeat the year!"

After finishing her sentence, Song Hongqin ignored Sun Jianshe and immediately turned around to enter the main room. Once inside, she gently closed the two wooden doors behind her.

At this moment, Sun Jianshe's eyes were practically spitting fire.

He only realized now that they were seeing him off!

The talk about being reprimanded or having to repeat a grade if he didn't do well was just empty rhetoric to get rid of him.

And his future brother-in-law didn't say a word from beginning to end; it's obvious he's in cahoots with that brat!

After imagining all of this, Sun Jianshe grabbed his small leather bag, stormed out of Chunsheng's house, and spat at the millstone next to the gate as he left!

Seeing through the crack in the door that the other person had indeed left, Song Hongqin opened the main door and turned around to find her teacher and Chunsheng, relieved.

At this moment, Li Yufeng was standing in front of the cabinet in the west room of the main hall, looking intently at the wall full of certificates of merit.

"Chunsheng, all these awards are yours!"

Song Chunsheng nodded without saying a word.

Song Hongqin, who had just entered the room, interrupted Li Yufeng, speaking in a tone that suggested she knew everything about Song Chunsheng, "In my memory, Chunsheng was almost always first in the class, and the awards the school gave him... were countless!"

Song Hongqin's words immediately made Li Yufeng laugh.

During the nearly one year that she took charge of Class 1 of Grade 11, Song Hongqin gave her the impression of being serious and unwilling to admit defeat, with a bit of arrogance in her bones. She almost never showed respect to anyone. Among the more than 200 students in the four classes of Grade 11, it seemed that no one could catch her eye!

But today it seems that things are not as she thought. It seems that Chunsheng's position in Hongqin's heart is not just a little bit high, but so high that it shocked her.

"You know so much about Chunsheng?"

Li Yufeng asked with a faint smile.

"Of course, starting from first grade, we..."

Song Hongqin stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence, because in a daze, she felt as if something was not quite right.

When she saw the inexplicable smile on Li Yufeng's face, she instantly understood everything and immediately turned her flushed cheeks away in embarrassment, afraid that Chunsheng would see it.

In fact, Song Chunsheng had already seen it, and as soon as Li Yufeng asked that question, he immediately knew that this young homeroom teacher, who usually got along well with the students in the class, was about to start watching the drama unfold!

Li Yufeng glanced at Song Hongqin, whose face was flushed with embarrassment, chuckled softly, and then ignored her, continuing to look at the furnishings in Chunsheng's room with curious eyes.

"Teacher, please keep an eye on things for now, I'll go get you some drinks!"

Song Chunsheng didn't care whether Li Yufeng wanted to drink or not; after saying that, he immediately turned around and left the room.

He felt that if he continued to stay there, it would only make Song Hongqin feel more awkward. Even if he left for just a short while, she would be able to quickly adjust her emotions.

Although they grew up together, they are no longer children.

If they continue to act and speak recklessly as they did when they were children, it will definitely affect their normal interactions.

Soon, Song Chunsheng brought out an enamel tray from his parents' room in the east wing. On the tray were three enamel mugs printed with the words "Vast world, great potential." Each mug was steaming, and a faint aroma of tea could be smelled from them.

"What a fragrant tea!"

Li Yufeng, who was sitting on the edge of the kang talking to Song Hongqin, immediately turned around and looked at the door, and smiled.

Song Hongqin was sitting on a chair by the window opposite the kang (a heated brick bed). When she saw Song Chunsheng carrying a teacup in, she was stunned for a moment, but quickly stood up to greet him.

She first handed one cup to Li Yufeng, then took the other two cups and placed them on the cabinet by the kang (a heated brick bed). She then turned around and sat down on the edge of the kang next to Li Yufeng.

Song Chunsheng suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the room was strange. He didn't know what the two of them had just been talking about, but he didn't ask. He went straight to the chair next to the desk by the window and sat down.

Then he suddenly remembered that the last class of every Saturday morning in their class was an agricultural basics class. For rural children like them, basic agricultural knowledge could be easily understood after a little explanation. After all, their parents and brothers dealt with the land all day long, so it was normal for Song Hongqin not to be in class.

But Li Yufeng should be teaching English to the second-year (third) class at this moment. Although she usually likes to joke around with students and is very approachable, she is always meticulous in her work.

Taking leave from class to come see him is not like Li Yufeng at all.

If you really care about him, you can come after class, since school is closed on Saturday afternoon anyway.

"Ms. Li, I remember that the fourth period this morning was your English class for Grade 11 (3)..."

Before Song Chunsheng could finish speaking, Song Hongqin immediately looked at him, gently shook her head, and signaled him to stop talking.

She also gave a look to Li Yufeng, who was holding a teacup with both hands, drinking tea silently with her head down, as if the other party was not in a good mood!
