Song Zhi woke up around noon the next day. Her foot injury had healed considerably, but her entire body ached. Last night, while she was asleep, she'd vaguely felt Gu Huaijin massaging her ankle and applying some medicine. She struggled to hold onto the long stick beside her bed and walked to the yard to wash up. Afterward, she poured herself a glass of warm water, leaned back in a chair in the yard, closed her eyes, and basked in the sun.

This was the scene Aunt Zhao saw when she opened the door. She didn't understand what it meant to be leisurely and contented, but she just felt that this scene made her feel very comfortable and at ease.

"Xiao Song, is your foot okay? I didn't see you all day yesterday because I went out to make clothes. Today I heard from Lao Qin that you sprained your ankle when you went up the mountain yesterday." Aunt Zhao walked into the yard and asked with concern.

Song Zhi smiled and replied, "After applying the medicine a few times, it's almost healed now."

Aunt Zhao felt relieved when she heard her say that, but she couldn't help but give him a few more words of advice, "Dongdong also got scratched last time because he stepped on empty space. Now the leaves have fallen, covering up the nooks and crannies on the ground. Next time you go walking in the mountains, be more careful. Try it out slowly and make sure you're on solid ground before you walk."

Song Zhi responded obediently, with a slightly uncomfortable blush on her face. Wasn't this comparing her with Dongdong? It was really embarrassing that she, an adult, still sprained her ankle.

"I went to make clothes yesterday, and Sister Chen from the front told Xiaoxue about a marriage proposal. It was with her nephew from her mother's side. She said the boy worked as a broadcaster in the machinery factory in the village. He was handsome and fair-skinned. I thought he sounded good, so I thought I would make an appointment on Sunday and have Xiaoxue go to Sister Chen's house to meet him."

"Aunt, you should discuss this matter with Xiaoxue first. If she agrees, you can make the arrangements." Song Zhi couldn't help but say one more thing. In this era, there are not many parents who can treat girls and boys equally. Aunt Zhao's family is an exception. They can insist on letting their daughter go to school all the time. However, they also have a common problem. They are too arbitrary. They think it is good for the children and make decisions on their own without asking for their opinions, or they don't have the habit of discussing with their children.

Zhao Yun showed no concern on his face. He waved his hand and complained, "There's no need to discuss this with her. Just notify her to come over and meet her when the time comes. This child, and I'm not saying this as a mother, is too picky. If we ask for her consent, it will be too late. Kids her age are already busy with soy sauce, and look at her. She doesn't even have a partner."

Song Zhi didn't know how to respond to this and could only smile awkwardly. It's okay for parents to say bad things about their children, but it's inevitable that parents will feel uncomfortable when others say bad things about their children.

"Xiao Song, you are not very old. Do you know any unmarried gay men of the same age who can introduce you to Xiaoxue?" Zhao Yun asked directly without beating around the bush. She had also thought about this in her mind. Song Zhi and the others came from Kyoto. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that their conditions were very good. The people Song Zhi knew must be of good condition as well.

Zhao Yun thought, marriage is like reincarnation. Finding someone with good conditions and ambition can save you several lifetimes of struggle. Unfortunately, her daughter didn't understand this and kept wanting to find someone who suited her. But as a mother, she couldn't let her do that. This life event was no joke.

Song Zhi was a little stunned. She had never thought that someone would ask her to be a matchmaker in her lifetime. In her memory, the original owner knew very few people, let alone her. The only one she knew who was unmarried was...

She quickly shook her head to stop herself from having this terrible thought. "Aunt, I don't know any unmarried people. The few friends I know are either married or engaged. I am considered to be getting married late. But next time I call my mother, I will mention it and ask her to keep an eye out for anyone suitable around to help introduce me." Song Zhi didn't say anything definite. After all, since someone asked him for help, he should at least give it a try.

Zhao Yun heard Song Zhi agree and smiled happily, "Xiao Song, thank you so much for troubling you."

"Don't be polite. I also need your help with something. My yard looks empty, and I want to grow some vegetables so that they will be more convenient to eat. Do you have any leftover seeds?" Song Zhi said with a smile.

"I'll bring it to you from home in a while. Your yard is big, so you can grow more things. I also have pepper seeds and other things over there, I'll bring them to you in a while." Zhao Yun looked at the yard and said.

"That's great! I was just thinking about what to plant. Lao Gu and I don't eat much, so just planting a little of each thing will be enough."

"That's right. It's enough to eat. Have more varieties so that they can eat something new." Zhao Yun also agreed with Song Zhi's words. Some family members would grow many of the same vegetables. If they wanted to eat other vegetables, they would see which family had them, go to the nearby neighbors' homes to get some, and sell the vegetables they grew at home.

Zhao Yun looked down upon this kind of behavior. The most important thing in human interaction is give and take. If you just ask for love and take advantage of others, it may be fine for a short time, but if it goes on for a long time, no one will be patient and will avoid you.

"I'll go back and get it for you. It's almost noon, so I have to start cooking. By the way, what are you going to eat for lunch?" Zhao Yun asked worriedly, looking at her injured foot.

"I, Lao Gu will come back to see him later. I can go to the cafeteria to get food or cook." Song Zhi said casually.

Seeing that she had made all the arrangements, Zhao Yun felt relieved and got up to go back to get the seeds.

The seeds were brought over quickly, and Song Zhi also took out two cans of canned fruit for Aunt Zhao to take back.

"No, no, there's some left over from yesterday's delivery. Leave it here and eat it yourself. There's no point in giving everything away." Zhao Yun refused to take it, feeling embarrassed.

"Take it. I picked a lot of strawberries yesterday, so many!" Song Zhi gestured to Zhao Yun to look at the basket of strawberries by the wall. Zhao Yun saw that he had picked quite a lot yesterday.

"Okay, I'll take it. Your feet are not convenient, I'll come over and help you in the afternoon." Zhao Yun looked at the condition of Song Zhi's feet and knew that although it was not serious, he could not walk yet, let alone work.

The two cans of food that were brought back yesterday were fought over by the two younger children. Xiaoxue also liked them, but she was the eldest and never fought for them. In the end, they were divided up by the two younger children, and when Lao Qin came back, only the bottles were left.

Zhao Yun remembered Song Zhi's kindness. Now that she was injured, he would come and help her if he could.

"That's great! I was just wondering when we could can the strawberries." Song Zhi said in surprise.

After Zhao Yun left, Song Zhi felt a little hungry. He went to the kitchen and saw that the food was already cold. Seeing that Gu Huaijin had not come back yet, he could only go into the house to find some snacks.
