PNB Chapter 260 Song Yali
Chapter 260 Song Yali
This was certainly not their illusion, but rather Song Tingnan's reverse approach, turning the miraculous into the ordinary.
She applied all the makeup techniques her master, Liu Dayong, had taught her to Song Yanchu's face. How could she possibly look handsome? She would only become more and more ordinary day by day.
As things gradually calmed down, the May Day holiday arrived. After returning home, Song Tingnan borrowed a camera from Jiang Qianqian, bought film, and took the whole family to take pictures.
After the family photo, the six siblings took a group photo. She then taught Mingxiang how to take pictures, and they took a group photo of Zhao Xiaojuan, Song Mingli, Song Mingcheng, Song Yali, her, and Song Yanchu.
Among them, Zhao Xiaojuan covered her face with a round fan. Everyone vaguely understood what Ting Nan meant, that it was just in case, and no one brought it up.
It has to be said that this little family is quite happy. Song Yanchu and Zhao Xiaojuan stood on either side, both smiling. Ting Nan went in to avoid causing a misunderstanding.
As they were taking pictures, the youngest, Song Yali, started to throw a tantrum. She didn't want to listen to "Brother Nan" in everything. Why should she? They were all girls in the family, but not only did her brothers listen to her, but the adults also respected her opinions.
While Ting Nan was directing everyone to take individual photos, Song Yali glared at Ting Nan and angrily shouted, "I'm not listening to you anymore! I'm not taking any photos! Humph, what you can do, I can do too. I'll definitely be better than you in the future!"
Ting Nan smiled and said, "Okay!" He didn't take it to heart; the little kid had just entered school.
However, Song Yali cried. She cried very sadly when she saw her sister's smile.
She even started crying and making a scene at Zhao Xiaojuan, "You all only like Song Tingnan, you give in to her in everything, and you always say how amazing she is! You only like the brothers, I want to change my name, I want to change my name! Why are all the brothers named Ming, but I'm not? Is it just because I'm a girl?..."
Zhao Xiaojuan felt very embarrassed. Tingnan had finally gotten a two-day holiday, and Yali, that little devil, had been spoiled rotten. She smiled sheepishly and apologized to Tingnan, raising her hand as if to hit her.
Song Yali was even more heartbroken and ran out crying. Zhao Xiaojuan said helplessly, "Let her go and let her calm down." She didn't want anyone to interfere. Song Yanchu saw that although she said that, she was restless and followed her out. He followed her out.
Songjia Village is small, with only one main road and several branch paths leading to the fields and three ponds.
Looking around, Song Yanchu saw Yali sitting on the edge of the field, head down, no longer crying. She was a precocious and intelligent child, knowing that crying loudly outside was something a little baby would do and would be laughed at.
"May I sit here?" Song Yanchu walked over and asked softly.
Yali didn't say anything, but nodded.
Song Yanchu didn't care about being fussy and plopped down on the weedy, muddy ground. He looked up at the sky, which was a clear blue; then he looked at the fields before him, a lush green expanse of rice seedlings. At this time of year, the weather was neither too hot nor too cold, the air was crisp, and a gentle breeze was blowing, making one feel relaxed and happy.
Neither of them spoke; they simply sat side by side.
“Uncle, do you know that my sister fell into this pond when she was little?” Song Yali turned to look at the pond behind her, as if nature had comforted her. “My mother said that she was not as old as me back then, but she could do everything. She ran around carrying goods, and one day she came home late and was so frightened that she developed a high fever… Actually… actually, I don’t dislike her at all… I feel quite sorry for her.”
Being her sister, her only sister, initially made me very happy and proud. However, people around me always talked about her, and compared to them, I felt utterly worthless…
"Yali!" Song Yanchu put her arm around her shoulder. "Silly girl, this feeling must be awful!"
"Yes, Uncle, my sister is really amazing! I can't compare to her, sob sob sob..." Song Yali burst into tears. Although she was young, she knew about her family's situation, especially how her father abandoned them and went far away. She felt sorry for her mother and wanted to be as outstanding as her sister to prove herself, but she felt she couldn't catch up. Her mother and brother both said her sister was incredibly talented.
“Yali, you are you. Everyone is unique and there’s no need to compare yourself to others. In everyone’s eyes, you are equally excellent. I often hear your sister proudly say that our Yali not only has good grades but is also very filial. When Auntie is busy, she takes care of Grandma, serving her tea and accompanying her on walks with great patience. Otherwise, I wouldn’t feel at ease while I’m studying away from home…”
"Did my sister really say I'm outstanding?" Song Yali's eyes were still filled with tears.
