Ever since Jiang Cheng's mother passed away and his father married a stepmother, he had always acted subserviently at home. After learning that he was to marry in place of his sister, he resolu...
"Tingzhi, it's time for dinner." Xu Sanniang shouted from outside.
"Coming." Song Tingzhi responded, "Dad, I'm going out first."
"Okay, go ahead."
Song Tingzhi sat at the dinner table and took a few bites before saying, "Mom, please prepare some food for me. I'll drive the donkey cart up the mountain tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Xu Sanniang responded, a little confused, "Are we going to stay in the mountains for a few days this time?"
"Yeah. Bring back more prey so we don't have to run back and forth."
"I know. Mom will clean up for you after we finish eating."
"Thank you, mother."
After dinner, Song Tingzhi returned to his room. He hadn't sat down for a while when he walked to the wardrobe and started rummaging through it. He remembered that he probably hadn't thrown away his clothes from three years ago. He had grown so fast back then that he hadn't worn them for long, so they should still be wearable now.
Song Tingzhi searched through boxes and cabinets for a long time before finally finding it. He carefully folded a few pieces of clothing and wrapped them in a cloth bag. Not long after, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
On the mountain, Jiang Cheng mixed some shredded meat with water and fed it to Xiao Hui. Seeing that it was eating happily, he touched its head, blew out the candle and went to sleep.
Tomorrow will be another nice day!
The next day, Song Tingzhi got up before dawn, ate some leftover food from yesterday, put everything on the donkey cart, and drove out.
"Tingzhi, are you going so early?" Xu Sanniang was about to prepare breakfast when she saw that her son had already stepped half a foot out.
"Okay. Mom, I'm leaving." Song Tingzhi waved to Xu Sanniang and left.
On the mountain, Jiang Cheng was about to have breakfast when he heard the gate open. He was about to go out to greet them, but the little wolf cub at his feet ran out faster than him.
"Awoo--" Xiao Huimai ran quickly to Song Tingzhi's side with his short legs, and kept pulling his legs with his front legs.
"Xiao Hui, come back." When Song Tingzhi was about to take Xiao Hui aside, Jiang Cheng's voice rescued him.
When Xiao Hui heard the familiar voice, he ran back happily.
"So good!" Jiang Cheng picked up Xiao Hui, patted its little head, and looked at Song Tingzhi, "You're back. Have you eaten yet?"
"I've eaten." Song Tingzhi replied as he took down the things he had brought. "I brought some food with me, so you don't have to worry about food."
"That's great!" Jiang Cheng was worried that there was no food left in Song Tingzhi's wooden house, and thought he had to survive in the wild.
Song Tingzhi sorted the things into different places, then pulled Jiang Cheng into the house.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Cheng looked confused.
"This is the clothes I wore three years ago. I've washed them and haven't worn them many times. If you don't mind..." Song Tingzhi was interrupted by Jiang Cheng before he could finish his words.
"How could that be?" Jiang Cheng took the clothes from Song Tingzhi's hand. It was obvious that they were made of old materials, but they had not been washed many times. This was easy for Jiang Cheng, who worked frequently, to distinguish.
Song Tingzhi looks rough, but I didn't expect him to be so thoughtful!
At noon, after Jiang Cheng and Song Tingzhi finished their meal and rested, Jiang Cheng went out to fetch water and found that the water tank was almost empty. He hurried into the house to look for Song Tingzhi.
"The water in the tank is running out." Jiang Cheng simply said this because he knew Song Tingzhi would definitely find a way.
"There is a river on the mountain, not far away. I'll take you there today. There are a lot of fish in the river." Song Tingzhi said.
"Okay, I'll bring some seasonings over and we'll grill fish tonight?" Jiang Cheng smiled and looked forward to the evening even more.
"Okay." Song Tingzhi nodded.
Jiang Cheng went to the hut to simply prepare the seasonings for grilling fish, while Song Tingzhi put a few buckets of water on the donkey cart outside, and finally did not forget to bring Xiao Hui with him.
After all, Jiang Cheng likes this little thing very much!
After everything was packed, the two set off.
The donkey cart was moving fast, and soon Jiang Cheng heard the sound of rushing river water. Jiang Cheng turned his head to the other side, and what came into view was the crystal clear river.
The river is not wide, but the water is very clear. You can see the bottom of the river with the naked eye. It looks even more sparkling under the reflection of the sunlight, which is particularly beautiful.
The little wolf cub in Jiang Cheng's arms seemed to be attracted by the scenery, and raised its head and barked a few times. After hearing it, Jiang Cheng stroked its head a few times.
When Song Tingzhi saw this, he stopped the car and asked Jiang Cheng to get out slowly. After Jiang Cheng got out, he put the wolf cub on the ground and let it run around freely.
Jiang Cheng and Song Tingzhi also followed behind, slowly walking towards the river.
