Chapter 752: Chapter 752: Having Breakfast Together
Liang Yin stood at the door, listening to the seemingly ordinary conversation of a family of four, and for a moment, she felt a bit envious.
Rong Yin’s parents are really wonderful.
Growing up in such a family must be very happy!
It would be great if she also had parents like Li Yufei and Rong Ling.
Liang Yin went into the bathroom, took a shower, changed into the new pajamas Li Yufei had prepared for her. The pajamas were made of silk, thin and cool on the body, like cicada wings, very comfortable.
She walked to the bed and gently lay down. For a moment, the soft mattress instantly relieved all her fatigue.
Earlier, Rong Yin had mentioned that each mattress in their home costs hundreds of thousands.
Before lying on this bed, Liang Yin found it hard to imagine why a mattress would cost hundreds of thousands.
But after lying down, the supportive embrace made her feel extremely at ease.
So comfortable!
It turns out that a mattress costing hundreds of thousands is not just about being expensive. For a wealthy family like the Rong Family, spending hundreds of thousands on a good mattress for comfort is only natural!
However…
For her, hundreds of thousands is still an astronomical figure!
With hundreds of thousands, you could make a down payment on a house in Yan City!
And two mattresses could equal her bride price. If she had hundreds of thousands, her adoptive parents wouldn’t be in such a hurry to marry her off.
In Yan City, the bride price is quite high, and she has a younger brother. This brother is biological, and after graduating from junior high, he went to a vocational school, but dropped out midway and started working in a factory.
But he didn’t work for long before he complained about being tired and stopped working, idling at home.
The family’s situation wasn’t good to begin with, and the adoptive parents were worried sick about finding a wife for the brother.
No house, no car, no savings, and if they can’t even afford the bride price, what girl would marry him.
Therefore, the adoptive parents turned their thoughts to her.
Originally, they hoped she would marry their own son, and although the law doesn’t allow it, in that isolated place, who cares about the law?
Many girls under 20 were married off early. It’s common to see girls married at seventeen or eighteen, and it’s not rare for them to only register the marriage after kids are already walking.
In some places, to save on bride price, it’s common for the boy to trick the girl into getting pregnant before lowering the bride price.
In short, all kinds of bizarre practices existed.
Most girls were brainwashed by such customs, believing that girls would eventually have to get married and have children, so there’s no need to learn so much or be so ambitious, because, after all, men would take care of them.
But Liang Yin had her own ideas ever since she was a child.
She loved reading, and many of the ideas in the books surely influenced her.
She had great ambitions, initially wanting to become a pilot when she grew up. Being a female pilot, flying an airplane across the sky, would definitely be a cool thing!
Later, she wanted to become an astronaut, a scientist, a doctor… Eventually, when she got into Jinghua University, she aspired to become an independent diplomat!
No matter what, her future is promising!
Liang Yin set her alarm clock, hugged her pillow, and sweetly fell asleep.
The next morning.
As soon as the alarm rang.
Liang Yin immediately got up from the bed.
Washed up, brushed her teeth, got dressed, packed her small backpack, and went downstairs in ten minutes.
Li Yufei was just about to ask someone to call her up, and when she saw Liang Yin looking refreshed as she came downstairs, she was quite surprised: “Liang Yin, how did you get up so early?”
Liang Yin smiled: “Mrs. Rong, good morning.”
Li Yufei nodded: “Morning, since you’re up, join us for breakfast!”
Liang Yin looked at the time, “I wonder how long it takes to get to school from here by taxi?”
Li Yufei said: “Taxi? It’s hard to get a taxi here. After breakfast, I’ll have someone drive you, or let Junjun take you.”
“Junjun?”
Liang Yin was momentarily stunned.
Li Yufei explained: “Oh, that’s Junyan’s nickname, I’ve called him that since he was little.”
As she spoke, she led Liang Yin to the dining room.
Li Junyan was already in the dining room.
Breakfast was ready. He sat by the dining table, spreading peanut butter on toast while waiting to have breakfast with Li Yufei.
Hearing footsteps, Li Junyan turned around and saw Liang Yin with her small backpack, looking around.
Liang Yin said: “This house is so big, it even has two dining rooms.”
Previously, when she came to the Rong Family to tutor, she usually went straight to Rong Yin’s study upstairs, and rarely had the chance to look around the entire villa.
Li Yufei smiled: “No rush, after breakfast, I’ll have someone show you around.”
Liang Yin waved her hand: “No, I have to attend class today.”
Li Yufei heard this and laughed, lightly poking her on the forehead: “It’s Saturday today, so there should be no classes!”
Liang Yin heard this, and her eyes widened slightly: “Oh, I forgot, it’s Saturday today, no class.”
If she had known, she wouldn’t have gotten up so early. Every Saturday, she had a habit of sleeping in a bit, but she also had the habit of going to the library for self-study every Saturday.
Li Yufei pulled her to sit at the dining table.
The servant brought out the prepared breakfast.
Breakfast included sandwiches, toast, warm milk, and three egg whites.
Li Junyan asked: “What kind of spread do you like?”
Liang Yin said: “Spread?”
Three jars of jam were placed on the table.
There was peanut butter, strawberry jam, and fig jam, all meant to be spread on toast.
Liang Yin had never had such a ceremonious breakfast before, with plates and spreaders so clean they shone, so she curiously asked: “Are these spreads to be eaten on bread?”
Li Yufei: “Yes.”
Liang Yin: “I like strawberry jam.”
Li Junyan nodded: “Okay.”
He picked up a piece of toast, spread a layer of strawberry jam on it, and handed it to her.
Liang Yin took it, said “Thank you”, took a bite, and the sweet and sour taste complemented the soft texture of the toast, tasting so good it made bubbles of delight.
Li Yufei watched with some comfort and then asked: “Liang Yin, can I call you ‘Yinyin’ in the future?”
Liang Yin nodded, smiling, her eyes resembling crescent moons.
Li Yufei suddenly thought of something: “Since there are no classes today, have you thought about how to plan it?”
Liang Yin: “I want to go to the library to study.”
Li Yufei praised: “If Ah Yin was half as studious as you, that would be great. But, I see you came to Beijing to study, yet you haven’t really had a chance to enjoy yourself. Beijing has quite a few fun places. For instance… There’s Universal Studios, Ah Yin went once and said it was very fun.”
Liang Yin had never heard of Universal Studios: “Is that a place to watch movies?”
Li Junyan said: “No, it’s more like… an amusement park.”
Upon hearing this, Liang Yin felt a bit shy and said: “I’ve never been to… an amusement park.”
