In a sudden moment of realization, Su Li slapped his thigh, filled with regret. "Why didn't I greet him? I could have made a new friend today!" he lamented.
However, regret was of no use now. Su Li picked up Su Le and followed his elder brother into the house.
This incident served as a lesson for Su Li. He made a silent promise to himself to be more proactive in the future, so as not to miss out on meeting new people. Even if he were to be rejected, it wouldn't matter. He was a young man, and he should be brave enough to face such situations. The next time he saw the young boy, he would be the first to greet him.
After their first dinner in the new house, their mother issued a strict order for them to either watch television in the living room or play on their own. They could even read, but they were not to disturb her. She wanted to enjoy her time alone in the small kitchen. Thus, after the brothers brought Su Le in, they obediently watched television in the living room.
