Aunt Li from the neighborhood office came in all red. "Xiao Ning is back. I haven't seen you for over a year. You've grown up into a big girl. Do you have a boyfriend?"

Wang Shuning stood up and greeted with a smile: "Hello, Aunt Li."

It was Li Lan who helped me to be transferred to Dafeng Village by going to the countryside. However, I encountered an accident later and Guo Jingyi and Lu Beichu also went there, but they failed to avoid it.

Li Lan stood in front of Wang Shuning and didn't move in. "A few months ago, your mother told me that you passed the exam to become a primary school teacher and went to the island to provide support. I was so surprised. In my opinion, you need to leave home and exercise, so that you can become more and more promising."

Wang Shuning looked inside the house, but did not see Song's mother coming out to greet the guests. "Aunt Li is here to look for my mother. It's cold, so she sits on the kang in the living room. I'll take you in."

Song's mother had sharp ears and heard Li Lan's voice early on. She didn't go out because she loved to hear others praise her little daughter. She had finally come back and she had to let others have a good look at her.

After the two entered the room, Song's mother straightened her back and stretched out her hand to invite Li Lan to sit down, "Hurry up, hurry up and sit down."

After sitting down, Li Lan praised: "I think you will live a peaceful life in the future. Your son and daughter-in-law will be filial, and your daughter will also have a promising future."

Song's mother pushed the fruit plate in front of Li Lan and said, "No way. I'll be twenty after the Chinese New Year, and I haven't brought a partner home yet. I'm so worried."

"Xiao Ning is so pretty and has a good job. Are you worried that she can't find a partner? It's just that Jinshan Island is a bit far away." Li Lan looked up and thought about all the unmarried young men she could think of.

Those who have jobs in Beijing are definitely unwilling to go to the island, and no one who went to the countryside before would go near Dashan City.

"It's a bit far, and there's not even anyone I know." Song's mother slapped her thigh and complained.

Wang Shuning tiptoed outward, wanting very much to leave this place of trouble. During the Chinese New Year, when the aunts and grandmas came to her house, she hid in her room and did not come out, as they all urged her to get married.

Song's mother probably wants someone to introduce her to someone.

"Yingzi, there will be a big movie showing at the Grand Square the day after tomorrow. You can take your family over to watch it." Li Lan said business while looking at Song's mother with anticipation.

Song's mother opened her eyes wide, "What movie is this time?"

Li Lan lowered her eyebrows and said embarrassedly, "Remember to carry the gun."

Mother Song frowned, "Didn't I let him go last time? Why did you let him go again?"

Li Lan said helplessly, "The higher-ups want to put this on, and I can't do anything about it. It's scheduled for the evening, and it's so cold now, many people don't want to go, but if there are too few people, the scene won't look good."

Wang Shuning blinked. He definitely wouldn't want to watch a movie he had seen before again, and have to move a stool and sit there in the cold wind at night!

Guns? I haven't seen this movie myself.

Song's mother asked, "What time does it start in the evening?"

Li Lan made a six with her fingers, "Six o'clock, just go there half an hour early."

Wang Shuning returned to the room quietly. It was such a cold day, and he couldn't afford to run to the square at 5:30 in the evening to sit and enjoy the cold wind.

"Okay, I have nothing else to do these two days, so I'll take my family over to have a look. Xiao Ning has been staying on Jinshan Island, so she definitely hasn't seen it."

Mother Song's eyes swept towards where Wang Shuning had just stood.

Hmm~

Where are the people?

Weren't you standing here just now?

Zhang Xiuzhen, who was squatting on the ground picking vegetables, blinked. Her sister-in-law was so afraid of the cold. Unless money fell from the sky and she needed to run over to pick it up, how could she be allowed to sit there and blow the cold wind in the middle of the night?

In the two days since she came back, I haven't seen her get off the kang many times.

Li Lan said enthusiastically: "Ning hasn't been back for more than a year, so it's a good opportunity for the neighbors to take a good look at her."

After Li Lan left, Wang Shuning returned to the kang in the living room to continue reading.

"Your Aunt Li invites you to go to the Grand Plaza the day after tomorrow night to watch a movie, The Gun." Mother Song looked at her little daughter.

Wang Shuning turned sideways and said, "The temperature is several degrees below zero at night. I will definitely catch a cold if I sit outdoors for two hours. I won't go."

Song's mother refused. "You should wear more clothes. There will be many acquaintances there. I will hurry up and try to make a new cotton-padded jacket before the movie. You can wear your new clothes to watch the movie."

Wang Shuning kept his mouth shut and didn't want to speak, so he decided to read a book.

The next day, the sun was shining brightly and the snowman Wang Shuning had made had melted into a pool of snow water. Thinking of the watch that Liao Tingming had asked him to bring back, he decided to go to Nanyuan as it was warm today.

"Mom, I'm going to go out for a while. I'm riding Dad's bike away."

Song's mother stuck her head out and asked, "The streets are full of people, it's not convenient to ride a bicycle, it's not far, just walk there."

Wang Shuning pushed out the bicycle. "It takes more than an hour to walk to Nanyuan. Let's ride faster."

"Why are you going to Nanyuan? It seems like none of your classmates' homes are there."

Even if there are any, they have all gone to the countryside and may not be back by now.

"A friend on the island asked me to bring something to his family, and I delivered it to him."

Seeing Wang Shuning was about to leave empty-handed, Song's mother thought she had forgotten to take something, "Where are your things?"

Wang Shuning took out a watch from his pocket and said, "Here it is."

Song's mother narrowed her eyes and ran over to take a closer look. "A watch? Why did you deliver such a valuable item so late? You should have delivered it to the owner the next day after you came back."

Wang Shuning stretched his legs and got on his bike. "It snowed a few days ago and the ground hasn't thawed yet. Nanyuan is so far away, and it's slow for me to walk there."

Song's mother: "Hurry up and send it over. Is your friend a boy or a girl?"

Wang Shuning paused for a second, "Female."

Wang Shuning rode his bike to Nanyuan and asked for directions according to the address on the note, as he had never been to this place before.

Looking at the door with the word "囍" pasted on it, did Liao Tingming's family have a wedding not long ago?

"Hello, is this Liao Tingming's home?" Wang Shuning stood at the door and looked forward. It seemed that there was someone in the living room of the main house.

Liao's mother stood up and walked out. Where did this young girl come from? She looked unfamiliar.

"It's Liao Tingming's family. He went to the island to serve as a soldier. Who are you?"

The youngest son had been in the army for several years. She had met all his friends before, except for him.

"My name is Wang Shuning. I work on Jinshan Island. This is the watch Comrade Liao Tingming asked me to bring back."

The man standing behind Liao's mother looks 70% like Liao Tingming, and should be his father.

Liao's mother reached out to take the watch and looked at it carefully. It was a ladies' watch.

My eldest son got married a month ago, and the gift to the bride should have included a watch, but the family didn't have a watch ticket, so we could only write a trust and ask our youngest son to find a way. Unexpectedly, he actually bought a watch and asked someone to bring it back.

"Come in and have some tea. This kid didn't even write a letter in advance. I didn't even know about this." Working on Jinshan Island, is he also a soldier?

Liao Tingming's elder brother and sister-in-law came out of the kitchen.

When Liao's mother saw her eldest daughter-in-law coming over, she handed her the watch in her hand and said, "Tingming didn't send the ticket back, so I bought a new one directly. Try it on and see if it looks good."

The watch should have been bought for He Cimian before the wedding, but I didn't get the watch ticket at that time. Fortunately, my eldest daughter-in-law didn't mind and said I could buy it later.
