"Sister Song Qing, do you know each other?" Even after walking a distance, Xiao Liu couldn't suppress his curiosity and couldn't help but ask Song Qing.

"Yes, we grew up in the same compound."

"What? That's too much of a coincidence."

Xiao Liu couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of fate; the two, who hadn't seen each other for many years, actually met again in a place thousands of miles from home.

She was also curious about the relationship between Technician Fang and that boy. The two of them didn't seem to have a normal relationship, but everyone had seen Technician Fang's girlfriend before.

They were also curious about Song Qing's relationship with that man. His gaze just now was strange; he was definitely more than just a playmate they hadn't seen for years.

"...Sister Song Qing"

"Xiao Liu, we'll head back to rest now. We'll need your help this afternoon."

Zhao Qin quickly interrupted the curious Xiao Liu, said goodbye, and the two returned to their dormitory.

Song Qing didn't intend to explain her relationship with Chen Yuqi to outsiders, and gave Zhao Qin a grateful look for coming to her rescue.

"An'an, stay close to your uncle. Dongzi, keep an eye on her!"

After a long wait, Liu Jiandong finally got a holiday, and An'an sat on the back of her aunt's seat early in the morning and followed her to Yanghe Village.

Liu Jiandong was having a headache. He had finally gotten a holiday and wanted to go to town to see a movie, but he had to bring this burden along.

"……I"

"What do you mean, 'I'? Keep an eye on her!"

Aunt Tian didn't give him a chance to refuse. She slapped him on the head, then picked up the water bottle and went down to the field with Lu Ronghui.

"Xiaohui, does your brother not approve of you finding a boyfriend?"

She hesitated for a long time before finally asking the question.

She really thought the young man from last time was quite good, but she didn't expect her cousin-in-law to be unwilling.

"Hmm?" Lu Ronghui didn't understand what Aunt Tian meant, and after thinking for a moment, she shook her head.

"My brother didn't say anything, but I really don't have any plans to find a partner right now."

"I see."

Aunt Tian was a little disappointed; she genuinely felt the two were a perfect match, it was such a pity.

"Uncle, get up quickly."

Liu Jiandong lay down on the kang with a headache, but unexpectedly An'an suddenly pounced on his legs. The little girl had gained a lot of weight recently, and when she pounced on him like that, his legs almost gave way.

"Hiss, are you trying to murder your own uncle?"

Liu Jiandong pinched her face. "How come your face is so round again after just a few days?"

"Let's go hunt rabbits!"

"All you ever think about is eating." Even so, he got up and led her to check the traps on the mountain to see if any rabbits had run into them.

The two wandered around the mountain, but instead of finding prey, they spotted quite a few people.

Tie Dan's family has been eating even worse these past few days than before. His mother is determined to save the five yuan from the food, so every day they just have a few boiled vegetables and mixed grain porridge.

He was so sick of eating that he almost threw up. Today, when he went out to play with his friends, he heard that they were going to the mountain, so he went with them.

If I'm lucky, I might catch some prey and have a good meal.

"Little Uncle"

As soon as An'an saw Tie Dan, she pouted, her face full of dissatisfaction.

This person pushed her last time and didn't apologize; instead, he yelled at her.

In An'an's mind, the 5 yuan was for compensating her for her clothes. This person hadn't apologized to her yet, and she kept it in mind.

"What's wrong?"

"He pushed me and didn't apologize."

Despite Liu Jiandong's usual dislike for An'an, he is very protective of his own.

Seeing that this person was so much older than An'an, yet he bullied such a small child, then she shouldn't blame him for bullying the younger one.

Tie Dan followed his playmates up the mountain, but he had no idea how to hunt, let alone set traps.

Even if there is prey, you can only watch helplessly as others take it.

"I'll go over there and take a look."

"Why don't you come with us? There are wild animals in the mountains."

His playmates were all children from the village who often went up the mountain. Tie Dan was not familiar with the mountains, and everyone was worried about him being alone.

"It's okay, I won't go far."

Follow them, and all the prey will be theirs.

Since he insisted, all they could do was tell him not to go far and to call out loudly if anything happened.

Tie Dan walked slowly through the mountains carrying a stick, with Liu Jiandong and An An following behind him.

"Uncle, what are we going to do?"

"Shhh"

Liu Jiandong wanted to scare him.

Tie Dan deliberately walked into the bushes, and he actually found a pheasant. The pheasant had an injured foot and was hiding in the bushes.

He was overjoyed and quietly approached from behind with a stick. In his plan, once he got behind the pheasant, he would knock it down with the stick, and he would have pheasant soup for dinner that night.

"Fool"

Liu Jiandong didn't expect him to be so foolish. By the time he walked over so slowly, the pheasant would gather its strength and run away.

Sure enough, just as Tie Dan got closer and closer, only a few steps away, the pheasant seemed to have suddenly grown eyes on its back, and it suddenly sprang up and plunged back into the grass.

Before Tie Dan could feel regret, Liu Jiandong imitated the sound of a wild animal. He imitated it so well that Tie Dan thought there was a real wild animal and ran away in fright.

As a result, he slipped and fell flat on his backside.

The sounds of wild beasts grew closer and closer. Tie Dan was terrified and cried as he got up and ran to the place where he had just parted ways with the others.

An'an was laughing so hard she couldn't stand up straight.

"Shhh"

Liu Jiandong interrupted her laughter, noticing that the pheasant hadn't gone far.

"Wait here, your uncle will catch you a pheasant."

An'an didn't see any pheasant at all, so she held her breath and waited silently in place.

A little while later, Liu Jiandong actually came back carrying a pheasant.

"Sister Song Qing, will our textile factory be this big in the future?"

"What are you thinking? They were already very famous before the founding of the People's Republic of China. Their fabrics could be sold to several provinces. We can't even compare to their fabric factories."
