Chapter 462 Little Sister Visits Brother

The weather is nice today, with a gentle breeze and mild sunshine.

Time passed by, and Xiao Jiu, who was sitting, felt a pain in her back, so she simply put down her small backpack and lay down on the steps of the green belt.

Whether it was because she got up too early, or because today was a peaceful day to relax and enjoy, she fell asleep without realizing it.

When the two brothers ran breathlessly to the door, they saw their younger sister sleeping soundly on the edge of the green belt, following the guard's pointing finger.

Seeing her younger sister, whom they hadn't seen in a long time and who had clearly lost a lot of weight, and then seeing the two large bags of snacks she had brought for them.

Tao Ran, who was already wearing glasses, and Tao Zui, whose fingers still had oil on them even after changing into clean clothes, both looked at her with a guilty expression.

They were both so busy that they didn't even have time to visit her while she was still in military training. They never expected that the little one would come looking for them on her own.

It was rare for them to be able to stay so quietly by their sister's side. They didn't wake her up, just sat down on the ground and watched her sleep, resting their chins on their hands.

Although they didn't speak, a rare sense of peace could be seen in their eyes.

Even though the two are in the same school, they might not see each other even once a week because they are studying different majors, living in different dormitories, and eating at different times.

Tao Ran even started wearing glasses at a young age because he frequently deals with data.

Tao Zui also spent all his time in the laboratory, studying engineering mechanics under the discipline of electromechanical engineering, and was dedicated to experimental research in aerospace engineering.

The scope of their work is very broad, and their days are monotonous and boring; being busy has become their daily routine.

Let alone calling home, even writing a letter requires careful consideration of the wording before it can be sent.

After a while, I don't want to write anymore.

Boys are different from girls; they are not good at expressing themselves.

It's not that they don't miss home, but their busy work and studies make them forget about it.

The only thing that never changed was the small amount of salary I sent home every month.

Yes, even though they are still in school, they often work overtime, have a heavy workload, and don't even have days off.

In addition to providing food and lodging, each person will receive a certain amount of subsidy every month.

These subsidies, ranging from ten to fifty yuan, all came from research funds, and the two brothers would send them home no matter how much they received.

Despite their seemingly high starting point, the two of them probably didn't have more than ten yuan between them. That's because they were typical engineering students who never went out!

Anyone would have trouble sleeping if they were being stared at like that, right?

So, under the relentless surveillance of the two, Xiao Jiu finally woke up with a frown.

She was sleeping on her side, so when she opened her eyes she saw two enlarged heads in front of her, one of which was wearing glasses.

She instinctively reached out to hit him, but Tao Ran instinctively dodged back, simultaneously adjusting his glasses and using his other hand to grab her wildly swinging arm.

"Little Jiu'er, look closely, it's your brother, I'm Tao Ran,"

"Little Jiu'er, I'm your older brother, Tao Zui!"

Once her vision returned to normal, Xiao Jiu sat up with the help of two people. She looked left and right, then pouted.

"Big brother, second brother, you two are really busy. I can even take a nap just to see you. If you told our parents this, do you think they would believe me?"

The two looked apologetic, one ruffling her hair and the other pinching her cheek: "What do you want to eat? It's on us."

"Do you have money and tickets?"

It's not that Xiao Jiu looks down on people, it's just that he already knew they didn't have anything else to do each month except send letters, tickets, and money.

The letter contained no words, only a ticket. Do you think that's absolutely right?

"These are the things I brought for you. You can take them back to your dorms. I'll wait here and go shopping in a bit."

Today is National Day! What are you doing staying in the lab all the time? Go out for some fresh air! I'll treat you all to something delicious!

Tao Zui blushed, "You're treating us?"

"Our parents have sent me all the money and tickets you two sent home. If I don't treat you, who will?"

Her parents did offer her some, but she refused. She had plenty of money, tickets, food, and drink, so why would she need her family's money?

So every time they sent her something, he would return double the amount, which made them afraid to send her anything anymore.

But every time I write a letter, I have to ask if I have enough money. If I don't, I have to tell my family.

After she said that, the two men, who were short of money, reluctantly agreed, "Then wait for us a moment, we'll be there in a bit."

Don't let their bookishness fool you; Xiao Jiu just touched their arms and could tell they regularly exercise.

She hadn't noticed before, but this time when they came out, she realized that both of them were wearing the kind of blue work clothes that workers wear.

"If you didn't know better, you two would look like factory workers!"

"The work we do now is not much different from that of factory workers."

"Hey sis, what do you want to eat? I'm starving, I haven't had breakfast yet!"

Tao Ran clutched her flat stomach, looking down at Xiao Jiu with a fawning expression.

Even being intoxicated wasn't much better, and Xiao Jiu was both annoyed and amused.

"Aren't you afraid of developing stomach problems at a young age if you don't take care of your health?"

That being said, the brothers still need to eat something good.

"You've been in the West Market for so long, do you know where the good food is?"

The two looked at each other, then turned to look at Xiao Jiu.

Xiao Jiu was amused by their uniform expressions: "I've only been here a few days, and I've been staying indoors for a month!"
