"I knew you'd be here. You're such a troublesome child," Ma Suzhen said indignantly, pulling the child's hand as they walked back.
She wouldn't discipline the children in public; it wouldn't look good if outsiders saw it.
If you're going to clean up, do it at home so no one will stop you.
Gu Huailin looked back at the gate. He was really happy today; he had met another kind person!
Especially when she was being held, she felt a mother's care.
Lu Zhixia walked to the door, opened it, and looked outside. She only saw their backs quickly turn a corner and disappear.
Next, I went back inside and closed the windows, worried that it might rain in the next few days and water would get into the house if I didn't close them in time.
After carefully examining the house's structure, it was determined that reinforcement would be necessary during the renovation.
She locked the door, pushed the bicycle, but didn't get on immediately.
Instead, she turned to look at the building behind her, wanting to go up and take a look.
So he pushed his bicycle over and soon arrived at the building entrance.
She counted up to the third floor, then pushed the car into the building and locked it.
She went up the stairs and soon arrived at the third floor. Following the little girl's instructions, she knocked on the door on the left.
No one answered the door, so she waited a few more minutes and knocked again, but still no one answered.
He wondered if the person had gone out.
So she could only turn around and leave, and come back next time.
The other side of the door.
Ma Suzhen pressed the child's head down on the sofa, holding a feather duster in her hand, thinking it was a neighbor from upstairs.
I listened to the footsteps going downstairs, gradually fading away until I knew the person was gone.
Only then did he throw away the feather duster and speak to the silent Gu Huailin.
"You better behave yourself, or I'll beat you to death sooner or later!"
Gu Huailin remained silent, not shedding a single tear. He was waiting for himself to grow up, to be capable enough to support himself and not be a burden to his father.
Ma Suzhen turned around and went back into the house to lie down, without even glancing at the child on the ground. In her opinion, the child wouldn't die!

Lu Zhixia rode her bicycle home and started stewing the bones. After more than two hours of stewing, the whole stairwell smelled of bones.
This time, no one wentssip; they have the money to eat, that's their own ability.
If it weren't for those two soldiers helping to put out the fire, the losses would definitely not have been limited to Aunt Pang's family; several neighboring families would have suffered as well.
Ten pounds of bones was a lot, so Lu Zhixia divided them into two large bags to fit them all.
Then he locked the door, quickly went downstairs, rode his bicycle, and delivered the bones to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Along the way, I noticed that the floodwaters had receded considerably, and there weren't as many puddles as before.
We arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative quickly and saw the group of people waiting in the distance. We hurried over and parked our bikes.
Director Yu stepped forward and said, "Yesterday's rain was so heavy that it almost flooded the supply and marketing cooperative."
Lu Zhixia took a bag out of the box and handed it to the two young men before she had time to speak with Director Yu.
"Is it that serious? How much damage has been done?"
"It's alright! I didn't expect it to rain so suddenly. Your braised pork ribs came just in time, which is good for improving everyone's meals. These kids barely slept last night while they were trying to salvage things."
"Natural disasters are truly unbearable. I hope there won't be such heavy rain again in the future."
"Isn't that right?"
"Does the supply and marketing cooperative still sell things?"
Director Yu said in a low voice, "Selling, I was just about to tell you, there are some clearance items inside, see if there's anything you need, if you buy a lot, I'll have a car deliver it to you."
"Sure! I'll go inside and take a look!" Lu Zhixia was extremely excited; such a chance to snag a bargain was a rare opportunity.
"Then you go take a look around, we'll go eat first," Director Yu said.
After parting ways with them, Lu Zhixia took the car to the parking lot and found that there were quite a few cars there.
I wondered if a lot of people were coming to steal our things.
Sure enough, when she entered the supply and marketing cooperative, she saw a lot of people.
Some people came running in their work clothes.
It's obvious they heard the news while they were working, and then specifically took leave to come and steal the stuff.
Anything that has been soaked by rain is much cheaper than usual.
There were long queues at other places, but fewer people at the fabric counter.
So she joined the queue, and while waiting, she heard the waiter say something.
"It was just soaked in water, it doesn't affect its use. Just wash it when you get home and it will be usable."
"If you offer a better price, I'd like to buy a few more yards of fabric to make clothes for my child."
"No, this is already the lowest price. This is what I'm told to sell it for."
Later, I saw that they had made a deal, which was more than a dollar cheaper than usual.
The people before her sold quite a lot, and soon it was Lu Zhixia's turn. She looked at the remaining fabric on the counter and an idea instantly came to her mind.
