"Is there gold in that village? Why do you keep running over there all day? The old house has been demolished."
Ever since Cheng Lie went back to look at his family's old house last time, he had been returning every week for the following months. He didn't drive or ride his motorcycle; instead, he pedaled a tricycle over there.
It just so happened that another brother mentioned recently seeing Brother Lie with a young girl headed to the countryside, giving Zhang Qiang reason to suspect that Cheng Lie was dating someone.
"Are you seeing someone recently?"
Cheng Lie shook his head while walking with the motorcycle keys in hand.
"If you are, just admit it. No need to be shy, we're brothers for so many years. Besides, whose daughter is lucky enough to catch your eye?"
"She's still young, still in school. I'll talk about it in the future."
"Oh, come on! So there really is someone! Take me to meet her someday. Is she pretty? How young is 'young'?"
"Sixteen."
