Liu Xiulan, a teacher and director, couldn't deal with the complaining child at home. She said guiltily, "Have I never bought you clothes? Have I never let you eat cakes? Besides, when you were studying medicine, I asked many people to find a teacher for you. If I didn't love you, who would care about you?" She tried to convince her daughter with facts.

"Isn't that what my father asked for?"

"Does he look like someone who would ask for help?"

Jiang Tang felt that this was a very complicated issue, and she didn't dare to be curious about the gossip about her sister and future brother-in-law. While her mother was dealing with her role as a mother, she had already quietly slipped away to Meng Si Ning's house.

Meanwhile, Xia Qiu hurried over to Meng Si Ning's house. Her eyes held a hint of determination, mixed with a hint of worry. Seeing Jiang Tang there, she didn't bother to greet her and simply said to Meng Si Ning, "Si Ning, I'm going to Shen District." Her voice was filled with a hint of urgency.

Meng Si Ning and Jiang Tang looked at each other and understood that she was going to take care of Gu Jingshen: "I just came back from there. Are you going to see Comrade Gu?" Meng Si Ning asked with a hint of concern in his eyes.

Xia Qiu nodded, his eyes full of worry and concern: "Have you seen him? How is he?"

"He was shot in the thigh, but the aorta was not injured. The operation was successful. Don't worry too much." Meng Sining comforted him.

Jiang Tang couldn't bear to see her desperate look for a man, so she asked, "Xia Qiu, is there no one at Gu Jingshen's house? It's no big deal for you, a guy you just established a relationship with, to go there. Do your parents agree?" There was a hint of doubt in her tone, and she felt that Xia Qiu's behavior was a bit impulsive.

Xia Qiu glared at her unhappily, without preparing to answer her properly: "I'm happy with it, what's it to you?" After that, she said to Meng Si Ning: "I don't have anything to do, I just thought you might have met Jing Shen, so I came to ask you if you know the situation over there, so I can have a better idea." There was a hint of anxiety in her tone.

"Tsk, we've only written a few letters, and you're already calling me Depth of Field so intimately?" Jiang Tang couldn't help but teased.

"Jiang Tang, writing a letter proves that I have a partner, and you are still an unwanted old girl." Xia Qiu retorted with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"I, no one wants me? I'm only seventeen, my last name is Xia, and I think you're the one who's eager to get married." Jiang Tang was so angry that her face turned red. She didn't expect Xia Qiu to say that.

Seeing that the two were about to start a fight again, Meng Si Ning quickly changed the subject: "Xia Qiu, can you wait for me?" After that, he turned and went upstairs. He carefully selected two photos that he was satisfied with from the album, handed them to Xia Qiu and said: "Please take these two photos to Lu Cheng. Please say hello to him for me when you see him. If you have any questions when you get there, you can also call me." After that, he wrote down her home phone number.

Xia Qiu took the photo and nodded: "Si Ning, I will. I'm leaving first, in case my mother comes back later and I can't leave."

Jiang Tang got anxious when she heard this. What kind of love brain is this? Meng Si Ning knew that she couldn't stand this, so he quickly pulled her aside and turned around to give Xia Qiu some instructions.

Xia Qiu bid farewell to Meng Si Ning and set off for the Shen District.

Meng Si Ning stood at the door, looking at Xia Qiu's departing back, silently wishing her all the best.

Seeing that the person had left, Jiang Tang angrily pointed outside and said, "She is asking for trouble. I am really impressed."

"Which male and female protagonist in a novel doesn't have setbacks? Besides, they are the official couple, and Gu Jingshen doesn't have deep feelings for her right now. Her going there now may be necessary for the plot, or it may be to deepen the male protagonist's love for her."

Jiang Tang was speechless: "That's right."

"Why are you back? Isn't the village busy anymore?"

"I just came back from sending my mom home, and I ran into my sister and my future brother-in-law. There's a big drama going on in my family right now, so I came out to hide."

"Is your sister in love?"

"According to the schedule, they're getting married next year, so they should have almost finished their fight. I'm going to go back and divide up the chickens among the neighbors. I also bought two chickens for you this time, and I'll give them to you later."

"Tangtang, can you let your aunt help me kill a chicken? I don't know how to kill a chicken."

"no problem."

"It's time to pick apples. Wait a minute, I'll pack some apples for your aunt."

Meng Si Ning took five apples from the space and asked Jiang Tang to take them back.

When the ginger candy arrived home, several aunts from the neighborhood had already come to our house to pick some.

"Aunt Zhang, the chickens in the village are all pretty good, aren't they? They all grow up eating bugs."

Aunt Zhang picked up a chicken and said with satisfaction, "This chicken isn't too fat, but it's not bad either. The key is that it doesn't require a ticket. Tangtang, if the village needs anything to eat in the future, remember to ask us."

"Of course, of course. Our village has a lot of good things, chickens, ducks, geese, and in autumn we have wild boar meat, red dates, various vegetables, sugar cane, and brown sugar."

"Brown sugar? Do they have a factory?" asked an aunt.

"The commune has a workshop in one of the villages I'm responsible for. They make brown sugar using an ancient recipe. Aunties, if you want to buy it, you don't need a ticket."

"Okay, what's the price? Can you give me three pounds right now?"

"Three pounds? Yes, the market price is one dollar and twenty cents. Aunt Liu, I'll bring it back for you next time."

"Okay, okay, don't worry, aunties. You support my work, and I won't let you suffer a loss in terms of price."

"That's great. If there's anything good in the village in the future, we'll definitely look for you."

"I want two kilograms too. My daughter is going to give birth next month and I'm in need of brown sugar. Sugar, if you have brown sugar, I'll get two kilograms too."

"I'll go back and ask about red dates."
