Chapter 146 Throw Away
Song Peiyuan had just returned from the well with two buckets of water. He put down the water-carrying pole and said angrily, "I won't leave!"
Now it was Song Shengsheng's turn to be surprised: "Are you going to stay with me for the New Year?"
To be honest, Song Shengsheng had never spent the New Year's Eve alone outside. It would be a shame if someone stayed to accompany her on such a festive occasion.
She will be very happy.
But she didn't want to be blamed to death by her parents.
Song Shengsheng frowned and said, "My parents won't agree. You should go back and stop making trouble. I have everything I need here now."
Song Peiyuan had a stern face, as if someone owed him money.
After a while, he finally seemed to calm down and no longer looked like an angry bull as before.
He poured the water from his bucket into the water tank, and when he was done, he said expressionlessly, "Sister, I may not be able to control my mouth."
The words he uttered were like a thunderbolt in Song Shengsheng's ears.
She was really a little anxious.
"How can you not control it?"
"I have to control you even if I can't. Otherwise, if you leave, I'll move right after you."
Song Peiyuan snorted in dissatisfaction, "Anyway, during the New Year, my mouth won't listen to me. Who knows what I'll say."
Although Song Shengsheng's reaction was slow, he still heard it.
Song Peiyuan was deliberately trying to intimidate her and didn't want her to chase him away.
Song Shengsheng has a bad temper and is a bit soft-hearted. She is of course unhappy that Song Peiyuan is trying to intimidate her in this way.
She said angrily, "Then call your parents and tell them you won't be going home for the New Year this year, and see if they agree."
Song Peiyuan's expression didn't change. "I told them before I came to see you."
The local specialties that Song Peiyuan carried on his shoulders were not actually from his family. He used his savings to exchange them with villagers. He then carried them onto the train, enduring the hardship and carrying them such a long distance.
There is a big difference between the north and the south.
Not just the temperature, but also the diet.
Song Peiyuan has a classmate whose family used to live in the north, but was sent to the south with his parents. He couldn't get used to the local food and would talk about the delicious food in his home every day while eating.
Song Peiyuan felt that she would have a hard time adapting to life in the capital.
After he went north to the capital, he found a telephone booth and called his hometown to tell his parents that he had come to the capital to find his sister.
After listening to him, Song Shengsheng looked at him suspiciously: "Do they really know? And they agreed?"
Song Peiyuan only answered the first question: "I know."
He said, “I’m going to make lunch first.”
Song Shengsheng followed him and asked: "When do you plan to go back?"
Song Peiyuan was silent for a moment, then said, "I'll go back when school starts."
Song Sheng said "oh" and didn't say anything else about letting him go.
Xicheng is a small city in the north.
Most people in the town make a living by working as ironworkers.
Others went to nearby cities to make a living.
It has been snowing in Xicheng these days and the weather is very cold. Song Shengsheng does not go out and stays at home every day.
She would only go shopping with Song Peiyuan when buying groceries.
It’s hard to buy meat in the supply and marketing cooperatives in small places.
If you go too late, you won’t be able to buy it.
Song Shengsheng was craving for meat. Although she wouldn't say anything if she couldn't buy any, she was staring at the fresh meat that other people bought from their baskets. It was hard to bear to see her like that.
Song Shengsheng didn't know how Song Peiyuan found out about the black market.
In the alley behind the yard where they lived, people secretly sold meat every day.
It’s a little more expensive than the supply and marketing cooperative, but it’s always a good thing to be able to buy meat during the Chinese New Year.
Song Shengsheng followed him closely, and when they walked out of the alley, she asked in a low voice, "Where did you find out this?"
Song Peiyuan said: "The aunt next door told me."
Song Shengsheng rolled her eyes at him and pinched his arm: "What aunt? You are still young, it's more than enough for you to call me sister."
Living next door to them was a widow whose husband had died.
When Song Shengsheng moved here, she told her neighbors that her husband had died, she was left alone, and she had come back with her younger brother to make a living.
Song Shengsheng felt that her neighbor had some unclear feelings towards Song Peiyuan.
"You..." After hesitating for a moment, Song Shengsheng couldn't help but ask, "Has your family introduced you to anyone?"
If Song Peiyuan was not still studying at this age.
If it were other people in the village, they would have already started looking for partners.
Song Peiyuan frowned: "No."
Song Shengsheng took a serious look at Song Peiyuan's appearance. He was really good-looking, even if you looked closely.
Song Shengsheng remembered that there were many young girls in the village who had a crush on him.
Song Peiyuan has not yet figured out this aspect.
He turned a blind eye to the little girl who took the initiative to show her affection.
Every time Song Shengsheng saw them, it was like seeing his former self.
He wanted to beat Song Peiyuan up even more, thinking that he was too ignorant.
"Don't be too picky."
"..."
Song Peiyuan didn't want to argue with her on this issue any more: "I made braised pork, let's eat, sister."
"oh."

Until New Year’s Eve.
It's snowing in Xicheng.
Song Shengsheng dressed warmly and went out to buy some calligraphy and paper-cuts.
We pasted the word "Fu" on the windows and placed two new red lanterns in front of the door. Once it got dark, the house looked quite festive.
During her trip, she also bought some rice wine.
Song Peiyuan didn't want her to drink, but she just wanted to taste it.
The rice wine tasted sweet and before I knew it, I was drinking one cup after another.
I didn't feel anything at first, but then my head started to feel dizzy and my face turned red like rouge.
Her cheeks are red, her nose is red, and her eyes are red.
There was a kang in the room, so it was very warm.
She was wearing a red turtleneck sweater and a black and gray plaid skirt. Her long, slightly curly hair was draped lazily on her shoulders. She looked well-behaved and gentle.
Song Peiyuan felt that she was drunk.
Song Shengsheng shook his head: "I'm not drunk."
Song Peiyuan was wearing a black sweater at this time, and she stared at him, looking straight at him.
He felt uncomfortable with her direct gaze, and after a moment, he hastily looked away.
Song Shengsheng suddenly burst into tears, "Why are you wearing the sweater I knitted for Fu Cheng?! This is what I gave him!"
Song Peiyuan's face was very ugly: "I bought this."
Song Shengsheng seemed to be certain that he was a thief: "You stole something."
Song Peiyuan secretly made up his mind that he would never let her drink so much alcohol again in his life.
Song Shengsheng walked over and grabbed his sweater and refused to let go. "This is a gift from me to him."
She emphasized loudly: "New Year's gift!"
Song Peiyuan knew very early on that when she wanted to be nice to someone, she was willing to give them everything.
Song Shengsheng suddenly loosened his grip, "He must have thrown it away, and you picked it up."
She looked at Song Peiyuan in confusion and asked, "Why did he throw it away?"
Before I got the answer, I figured it out.
"Oh, because he doesn't like me anymore."
"Well, I don't like him now either."
"I'm going to sleep, Song Peiyuan."
She stumbled back to her room, threw herself on the bed, put her face on the pillow, and fell asleep instantly.
