Chapter 30 You are the best person on the island!
Xiao Jinchuan pursed his lips nervously. How could he explain that this was entirely from his heart?
Would she think she was being naughty?
"I...read it in the newspaper. It said hugging is the best medicine to comfort someone."
For some reason, Song Yunqing felt a sense of loss when he heard this.
But what is there to be disappointed about? Didn’t you already know that Xiao Jinchuan liked the heroine?
"Okay, then if you need it later, I can give you a hug."
Xiao Jinchuan nodded hurriedly.
His secret little thoughts were almost exposed to the sun.
"You rest at home. I'll go to the regiment headquarters to take a look."
Song Yunqing hummed, looking at the seafood Ge Jinglan brought: "How about a seafood feast tonight?"
"As you say!"
Not long after Xiao Jinchuan left the house, he heard him come back.
Song Yunqing didn't even raise his head: "Did you drop something?"
"No, someone is looking for you."
"Someone's looking for me? Are they here to scold me again?"
It's not that she was overthinking it, it's just that the people here were too dissatisfied with her. Every time she heard any noise outside, she thought someone was coming to cause trouble.
"You'd better come out and see for yourself."
When Song Yunqing saw Xiao Jinchuan's stern face, his heart couldn't help but beat fast.
"It's not like someone is really here to find us, is it? Stand back. If you don't know how to curse, I'll do it!"
Song Yunqing took a deep breath, and before he even walked out, his voice came out first.
"Your father..."
The moment he saw it, his words changed.
"...Are you feeling well?"
No one told her that the person coming was a young man in military uniform!
Song Yunqing turned around and looked at Xiao Jinchuan with a reproachful look. Why didn't you tell me earlier? You almost made a fool of yourself.
Xiao Jinchuan suppressed his laughter, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
The soldier scratched his head embarrassedly: "Thank you Miss Song for your concern, my father has always been in good health."
Song Yunqing felt even more embarrassed.
"Have you forgotten who he is? You helped him bandage the wound at Outpost No. 3 when it collapsed, and he insisted on coming to thank you in person!"
"Oh, it's you. It was so dark that day that I couldn't see you clearly. How are you? Is your leg injury healed?"
He nodded: "It's all healed. The doctor said it's a good thing I used good medicine, otherwise there would definitely be sequelae."
When he thought of this, he felt extremely grateful to Song Yunqing.
"That's good."
He took out a bag of snacks and handed it to her shyly: "This half of my life is equivalent to what you saved. This is a small token of my appreciation. I hope you can accept it."
Song Yunqing knew just by looking at the packaging that it must be the peach cake from that old brand.
It’s not cheap!
She immediately declined: "It's just a small favor, don't be so polite. I would help anyone. Besides, I just gave you some medicine. The ones who really saved you are the health workers in the clinic."
But the man insisted on giving it to her: "Do you think the gift is too light? It should be something heavier. You saved my life. A bag of peach cakes is too light compared to my life."
"No, no, this is still light. This bag must have cost you half a month's allowance."
Song Yunqing turned and looked at Xiao Jinchuan for help. She really wasn't very good at this kind of interpersonal communication.
"Just take it. He bought some for the hygienist, too."
After receiving Xiao Jinchuan's affirmative answer, Song Yunqing took it with confidence.
After all the gifts were given and all the thanks had been expressed, he smiled innocently and left.
Song Yunqing felt the peach cake in his hand was heavy.
Although many people on the island don't like her, there are also such kind people who are very affectionate.
Song Yunqing, holding a peach cake, passed by Xiao Jinchuan and glanced at him sideways: "Did you do this on purpose?"
"What on purpose?"
"They deliberately misled me, making me think someone was causing trouble, and I almost cursed them."
Xiao Jinchuan didn't say anything, but the corners of his mouth that were trying to hold back a smile betrayed him.
"I knew it!"
Song Yunqing suddenly stepped on Xiao Jinchuan's instep, causing him to gasp in pain.
“It hurts…”
"Don't pretend, these are combat boots, they can't possibly hurt!"
Seeing that she had seen through his tricks, Xiao Jinchuan smiled and said, "You've become smarter."
Song Yunqing rolled her eyes without caring about her image: "Miss, I am extremely smart."
There were eight peach cakes in a bag. Song Yunqing counted them and decided to give some away. She didn't like this old-fashioned cake very much.
So just leave four for Xiao Jinchuan.
She divided the remaining four into two packs, sent one to Chen Zhicheng's home, and took the other to Yao Xinjie's home.
When we arrived at the gate, he was holding the child on his shoulders and walking around in circles in the yard.
"Dad, dad, it's my turn."
"I want to ride a big horse too!"
Yao Xinjie had just put one down when he turned around and saw Song Yunqing standing outside. His smile faded: "How did you find time to come here?"
Song Yunqing raised the paper bag in his hand and said, "Of course I'm here to give you something."
Yao Xinjie patted the two children on the head and said, "Go, call your mother out and tell her that guests have arrived."
The two children glanced at Song Yunqing timidly, then quickly ran into the house, shouting, "Mom, Mom, there are guests coming."
Xu Xiujuan was a little surprised. She knew the situation of their family, so how could there be guests coming?
She put down the needlework in her hands, walked out with her two children, and her eyes lit up when she saw Song Yunqing.
"Why are you here?"
"Send some food to the children."
Xu Xiujuan grabbed Song Yunqing's hand and said affectionately, "You've always been so nice to us. How can you still think about our family when you have something to do? How can I be so embarrassed!"
Suddenly she retracted her hand and wiped it on her clothes again and again: "Look, I didn't pay attention. I just pulled the weeds and my hands are dirty. I pulled you, don't be angry!"
"How could that be?"
Seeing his wife and Song Yunqing chatting happily, Yao Xinjie curled his lips in disdain, but still followed them in honestly.
When the paper package was opened, there were actually two pieces of peach cakes.
The two children jumped around with joy.
"Mom, Mom, can we eat?"
“What a delicious smell!”
"The last time we had peach cake was last year!"
Xu Xiujuan gave each of them one and said, "Okay, take it out and eat it!"
The eldest daughter took a look, put the one in her hand on the table, then took her brother's and broke it in half.
"My brother and I can just eat one, and Mom and Dad can eat one."
Oh my, this obedient little look is so adorable. Even at such a young age, he knows how to be considerate of his parents.
Everyone says that Yao Xinjie is a big scoundrel and a big gangster, so his wife is a small scoundrel and a small gangster.
The two of them ended up in the same family.
But judging from the education they give their children, these two people are not as completely uncultured as they say.
Xu Xiujuan didn't think her family's poverty was anything to be ashamed of. She patted her daughter's head lovingly and said, "You're so good."
After chatting for a while, Song Yunqing got up and prepared to go home to cook, thinking about the roof that was almost completed.
"You all should come over tonight. The food you bring back won't taste good anymore."
Xu Xiujuan agreed immediately.
Her unpretentious personality made Song Yunqing like her even more.
After returning home and looking at the various seafood in the basket, Song Yunqing cleaned them one by one and prepared to make "seafood chowder".
Scoop out a small spoonful of lard from the space, add oil to a hot pan, and sauté garlic slices and dried chilies.
Then pour in the seafood and stir-fry quickly over high heat.
Finally, pour a spoonful of rice wine and sprinkle a handful of wild leeks picked from the roadside, which makes it full of color, aroma and taste.
Ge Jinglan lived next door. Song Yunqing leaned on the wall and called out to An An who was playing in the yard.
"Where's your mother? Is she home?"
An An nodded: "Yes, Mom is cooking."
Hearing the voice, Ge Jinglan came out and looked at her with a smile: "What delicious food are you making? I can smell the fragrance!"
"Seafood chowder, why don't you bring the kids over for dinner later? I made a lot, and Yao Xinjie's family is coming too, so it'll be lively with more people."
"No, my meal is almost done, so I won't come over."
Song Yunqing also understood what she meant. In modern terms, Ge Jinglan was an extremely introverted person. It was a huge challenge for her to have dinner with a family she was not familiar with and who were all gangsters.
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll bring you some, I promise it's delicious."
"No, no, just eat it. It's nothing special. Go ahead and eat it!"
But Song Yunqing didn't care and found a small basin and brought it to her.
When I went out, I happened to meet Xiaohua who came to play with Anan, but her eyes were always glued to the seafood.
Song Yunqing was a little curious: "Sun Jianguo is the political commissar. Although his allowance is not much, it shouldn't be enough to make his children greedy like this, right?"
The previous hairpin was very novel, so she liked it.
But this seafood is just as Ge Jinglan said, it is not a rare thing. We live by the sea and we can make a table of it by just picking some out.
"It's because you're such a good cook. Just the smell makes me hungry."
"Come on, you're going to tease me now, aren't you?"
Ge Jinglan smiled and said, "Old Chen's allowance isn't as high as Sun Jianguo's, but we both tighten our belts to feed our children well, and occasionally we go fishing to change their taste."
"But Qian Xiufen doesn't think so. She likes fashionable things. When her monthly allowance comes in, she first makes herself two sets of clothes and buys some vanishing cream. She usually spends it all before the end of the month, let alone feed her children."
"You're far away, so you might not be able to hear it. The couple often quarrels, and the food they feed their children is nothing but bland."
"Sometimes Xiaohua is very hungry and runs to my house to eat. She is such a poor child!"
As Ge Jinglan was talking, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "Isn't it not nice to gossip about others like this? Do you think I'm a bad person?"
"No, I like gossip too, especially about people I hate."
Ge Jinglan finally felt relieved and smiled, covering her mouth. "I don't know why, but I feel so close to you. If it were someone else, I would never dare to say those words."
"That's probably because I'm a really nice person!"
"Yes, yes, you are the best person on this island!"
"That's a bit too narcissistic. Second place will do."
The two were talking and laughing when a timid voice came from the door:
