Grandpa Liu smiled as he watched the two girls come out covered in dirt. He pointed at a broken mirror hanging on the wall and said with a smile:
"Wipe it first, and I'll weigh it for you."
As he spoke, he picked up the books and newspapers and went to weigh them. When he saw the book "The Red and the Black", he paused for a moment and said nothing, as if he was really an old man who could not read or write.
"The total is 45 cents. If you come often, just give me 40 cents!" Uncle Liu smiled kindly.
"Thank you very much, sir. We will come again next time. If you have any good books, please keep them for us."
"Sure, sure!"
After Shen Lingling paid the money, the two of them rushed home.
After leaving the scrapyard, Lu Wensheng kept thinking about one question:
Is it true that the old man at the scrap yard can’t read? She always feels that the way he looks at them is strange. She even suspects that the old man wrapped the book cover himself!
Well, the more Lu Wensheng thought about it, the more it seemed possible. He would have to give it a try next time he came. According to the nature of time-travel novels, these inconspicuous little characters would often become big shots in the later stages!
Shen Lingling was a little curious when she saw that Lu Wensheng hadn't made any movement for such a long time: It's not right for a chatterbox to be so quiet all of a sudden...
Feeling the bicycle running faster and faster, Shen Lingling hugged her sister's slender waist tightly, for she was afraid of falling down accidentally.
You know what, this little waist is so tight and solid, and it feels really good!
Shen Lingling couldn't help but touch him a few more times. Lu Wensheng just came to his senses. Her action startled Lu Wensheng so much that he lost his balance on the bicycle, staggered twice and almost fell into the ditch on the side of the road.
Her little sister likes this? She hides it well!
"Shengsheng, please ride carefully and don't be distracted." Shen Lingling complained quickly.
Shengsheng said last time that the one who strikes first will win, the one who strikes later will win. Is that right?
Lu Wensheng: ...blame me? ? ? ?
She wanted to throw him into the ditch at this moment, but she suppressed this bad thought for a long time, and finally she could only say one sentence: "Don't touch me."
It was the first time that Shen Lingling saw Lu Wensheng being humiliated. She suppressed her laughter and changed the subject: "What are you thinking about? You look so absorbed in it."
Lu Wensheng casually repeated the question he had just thought of. Shen Lingling was a little confused: "I don't remember such a person in my previous life..."
"Well, let's talk about this later. Right now we have to get home before dark." Lu Wensheng reminded.
However, just after walking about a mile, something went wrong again.
"Lingling, did you hear any sound?" Lu Wensheng stopped his bicycle and listened carefully to the movements around him.
Shen Lingling shook her head. She was chatting with Xiaoguang and heard nothing.
So he calmed down and listened carefully for a while and replied: "There is no sound."
Lu Wensheng retorted: "No, I heard it. It's on the slope ahead. You wait here. I'll go take a look."
Without waiting for Shen Lingling to stop him, he jumped onto the small slope opposite the drainage ditch.
Shen Lingling had no choice but to stand there and wait: "Be careful!"
"Don't worry!"
Lu Wensheng ran up the slope without looking back. Soon he saw a black thing wriggling under a pine tree, humming continuously.
When I got closer, I could see clearly that it was actually a puppy. Perhaps it had been hungry for too long, and its cries were getting weaker and weaker.
Lu Wensheng carefully observed the surroundings and slowly approached to make sure there was no danger. He picked up the puppy and looked at it. It looked like it was only ten days old. It was unknown how long it had been hungry, but it was still holding on with its last breath:
"Little guy, you are lucky to have met me."
As he spoke, he took a little spiritual spring water, placed it in his palm, and brought it close to the puppy's mouth for him to lick.
Perhaps feeling the breath of life, the little puppy licked the spiritual spring water in Lu Wensheng's hand clumsily and eagerly, and soon licked it clean.
Seeing that this method was working, Lu Wensheng poured out some more for it to drink. It drank three times in a row before stopping. He listened to its humming sound, which was obviously stronger than before, and laughed:
"It looks like there's still hope. Come home with me first." Then he carried the puppy in his arms and walked in the direction they came from.
Shen Lingling had been squatting on the roadside waiting for a long time. When she finally saw Lu Wensheng coming over, she quickly stood up and asked, "How is it?"
Lu Wensheng smiled and showed her the puppy in his hand: "I picked up a puppy, do you want to keep it?"
The moment Shen Lingling saw the little puppy, her eyes lit up, her heart melted, and she nodded vigorously:
"Of course I will raise him!"
Seeing her like this, Lu Wensheng stuffed the puppy into her arms and said, "Well, let's go home first."
Shen Lingling carefully held the puppy and followed Lu Wensheng: "It's so small, can we keep it alive?"
Lu Wensheng looked back at the palm-sized dog and said, "Let it be as it pleases. But I think it should be fine. I'll feed it some milk powder when I get home later."
Shen Lingling nodded: "Yes, okay."
Along the way, Shen Lingling was afraid that the puppy would get cold, so she simply took off her coat to wrap it up. By the time they arrived at the team, her lips were so cold that they had turned purple.
He happened to meet Li Zhenguo who was on his way home at the entrance of the village. When he saw Lu Wensheng coming back, he greeted him.
When he saw Shen Lingling's purple lips and slightly pale face, he was shocked. How could it be getting worse? He asked with concern:
"Xiao Shen went to the clinic again? Go home and have a rest. You don't have to go to work tomorrow. You look so ugly."
Shen Lingling was confused:???
Who in her family would understand? The vacation that fell from the sky fell on her head.
"Huh? Oh, thank you, brother."
"You're welcome, go home!"
After the two of them walked away, Li Zhenguo shook his head and sighed: "Ah, such a good girl, how come she is still a sickly girl!"
He had heard the recent rumors in the team, saying that Shen Zhiqing was in poor health and was sent to the commune clinic by Lu Zhiqing again!
When he went home and told his mother about this, Sun Caifeng sighed in worry:
"Alas! What a pity!"
Li Zhenguo wiped his face and asked, "Mom, what's a pity?"
Sun Caifeng replied: "It's Shen Zhiqing. I was planning to introduce her to your second brother, but now... forget it."
Li Zhenguo thought of Li Zhenxing's scheming and shook his head vigorously:
"Mom, please don't make fun of Shen Zhiqing. My second brother is like this. Whoever marries him will be unlucky. From childhood to adulthood, Youliang and I have suffered a lot from him."
Sun Caifeng was not happy with him talking about her own brother like that, so she slapped him on the forehead and said, "What nonsense are you talking about! He's your own brother!"
Under the pressure of his mother, Li Zhenguo did not dare to refute, but he still couldn't help but muttered:
"It is because he is my brother that I know what kind of person he is..."
"What did you say?" Sun Caifeng didn't hear clearly.
"Ah? Oh, it's nothing. I mean it's a pity. It's such a pity!"
Sun Caifeng nodded: "Yes, among so many people, I like Shen Zhiqing. Not only is she well-educated, but she is also gentle and family-oriented. I heard that she has always washed Xiaolu's clothes. Who would have thought that she is in poor health? It's such a pity!"
