It's a pity that Qingxia couldn't stand spicy food. She didn't dare to eat it after taking a bite. But it was a good thing for the three men who could eat spicy food, especially Mr. Mo. He had lived in the south before and had a picky taste. He loved spicy food. He ate more than half of the plate of spicy fried vermicelli by himself. He was so tired of saying it was delicious.
After dinner, they had to find a room. In order to save firewood, Song Hao and his wife moved into their son Song Ziyi's room. Anyway, the kang bed was big, so it was no problem for several more people to sleep on it.
Old Qi and Old Mo slept in the main room in the west wing, and the side room was left empty.
Before going to bed, Qingxia visited her daughter's room and saw Song Yun and Yang Lifen knitting sweaters. Song Yun was obviously not as skilled as Yang Lifen and her speed was slower, but her needlework looked good, so she also became interested.
"Do you have any knitting needles left? I know a little bit, so I'd like to knit with you guys."
Song Yun naturally couldn't ask for help. She was still worrying about when she could finish knitting sweaters for the whole family. Now it was of course good to have a helper.
Fortunately, she bought a bunch of knitting needles, and because she was afraid of the trouble if they were accidentally broken, she bought some more.
Not long after Qingxia started, Ziyi came over again. He asked Song Yun a question that he didn't quite understand. After asking, he didn't say anything. He sat aside and watched them knitting sweaters. The more he watched, the more interesting it became. So he took a pair of knitting needles and wanted to join in knitting.
Song Yun had no choice but to help him start over and teach him carefully twice.
Song Yun was knitting a sweater for Ziyi, while Qingxia was knitting a ginger-colored sweater. She'd promised it was for herself, but she was really thinking it was for Song Yun. The yarn was average quality, but the color was nice, perfect for a young girl. If she could ever return to Beijing, she'd definitely buy the best, most beautiful wool and knit another one for her daughter.
Song Yun knitted Song Ziyi's hair according to Song Hao's body shape and used dark grey wool.
The four of them lit two kerosene lamps and knitted sweaters. This thing seemed addictive and they couldn't stop once they started knitting. It was not until Song Ziyi started yawning that Song Yun forced him to take the wool and sent him back to bed.
Ziyi has to go to school and can't sleep too late.
After Zi Yiqian, the three women knitted for another hour before stopping and taking a rest.
After a few days of such leisurely and comfortable days, Song Hao and his friends no longer felt the nervousness they had when they first arrived. They ate well and slept soundly every day, until one night when they were awakened by the sound of hurried knocking on the door in the middle of the night.
Song Hao and Qi Qingxia sat up suddenly. The rapid knocking on the door reminded them of many bad memories.
Perhaps because the two of them were moving too violently, Song Ziyi, who usually slept soundly, also woke up. Hearing the knock on the door and seeing his parents' terrified faces, he hurried to comfort them, "Dad, Mom, it's okay. My sister is a foot doctor. If anyone in the village had an emergency, she would come knocking on the door for medical help. It has nothing to do with you."
After hearing what their son said, the couple calmed down and slowly calmed their wildly beating hearts.
The two elders in the west room were quicker than them. After all, they were from the army. They were already dressed and came over to call out to Qingxia and Song Hao, "Hurry, hurry, let's go out the back door. Someone must have reported us."
At this time, Song Yun came out of the room and saw the two elders standing at the door of the side room with anxious faces. She hurried over to comfort them, "It's okay, it must be the villagers who came to seek medical treatment. You should go back to the room and continue sleeping. It's cold outside."
Seeing her calm and accustomed look, the two elders finally felt relieved and went back to their room obediently and bolted the door. If anything went wrong, they would jump out of the window and leave through the back door. They would never cause trouble for Song Yun.
