"Yeah, you can't do that. How can a woman do farm work without strength? I can tell you're from the countryside. Which country girl isn't very capable?"
"Yes, my daughter is very capable. She can earn full work points a day, and she has to go home and cook after work."
Discordant voices were heard, and people around started talking.
Su Mianmian's good mood for the day was ruined by these people.
"Auntie, are you jealous of me? I'm spoiled by my parents. You're not saying this to me because I'm not favored at home, are you? Are you jealous of me?"
The gossiping woman's face suddenly darkened. "Who are you calling auntie? I'm only 24 years old."
Su Mianmian smiled innocently, "I'm not wrong! My little brother is only four years old, he can call you auntie, right? Then there's nothing wrong with me doing the same!"
Little Ayan also looked serious at this time, "Auntie, sister is right, Ayan should call you Auntie!"
Su Qingqing chuckled, "Big sister, if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed that you're only twenty-four. Your skin is a bit too rough."
When everyone heard Su Qingqing say this, they immediately turned their gaze to the aunt and looked her over.
Some people even started to comment, "This little girl is right, your face is indeed a bit rough."
"Yes, especially in winter, your face will crack easily. You can buy some vanishing cream or clam oil and apply it on it, it will be better."
"Yeah, he's only 24 but looks like he's in his 30s."
The aunt was so angry that she couldn't speak, and Su Mianmian's mood instantly improved.
When they arrived at the commune and just got off the bus, they saw Xiao Zhang.
Qin Huaichuan shouted at him, then waved. When Xiao Zhang ran over, he asked, "Why are you here?"
"Captain Song knew you were coming back today, so he asked me to wait here and send you home." Xiao Zhang answered after taking a breath.
Shen Yuandao frowned, "Isn't the bureau busy? Come over when you are free." There is still no clue about the case recently, and they are in need of people.
Xiao Zhang waved his hand. "I'm not the only one who can help. Besides, we got some information from those two people we arrested in the county last time. Sister Jiang is leading people to look for them."
Xiao Zhang glanced at his watch and said, "It's almost time, let's go back."
Shen Yuandao and the others didn't refuse anymore, nodded, and were helped into the car by Su Mianmian.
…
Xiao Zhang sent a few people to the door of the Yun family and went back. Su Mianmian had planned to keep him for dinner, but he ran away very quickly.
After thinking about it, they decided to treat them to a meal another day.
It was just noon at this moment. Su Mianmian thought about it and decided to cook at Yun's house. It wouldn't be too late to go home after eating.
Su Mianmian and Su Qingqing went to the kitchen to cook, and Qin Huaichuan cleaned the house.
Little Ayan followed Su Mianmian into the kitchen. He secretly glanced outside, pulled Su Mianmian down, and whispered, "Sister, Naitang and Xiaohui."
"You can't take it out now. I'll give it to you when we get home. If your brother-in-law and Brother Qin ask, just say that it was Teacher Duan who helped raise it. Remember?" Su Mianmian whispered.
"Don't ever say cats and rabbits are in space!"
When she packed her things that day, she also put the two small animals she kept at home into the space.
Xiao Ayan saw it on the day she stayed at the guest house, so she came to ask her for it now.
Little Ayan knew it and nodded obediently.
Su Mianmian and Su Qingqing started cooking, and Xiao Ayan went out to help clean up.
…
After lunch, Su Mianmian asked Shen Yuandao and Xiao Ayan to go home, and she went towards the team leader's house alone.
After she could no longer see Shen Yuandao and Xiao Ayan, Su Mianmian found a secluded place and took Naitang and Xiaohui out of the space.
Just as she was about to go home after holding the baby in her arms, she heard someone calling her. She turned around and greeted with a smile.
"Aunt Li."
Aunt Li: "Mian girl, you are back? Are Shen Zhiqing and Qin Zhiqing okay?"
Su Mianmian smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. The doctor said I can just go home and recuperate."
"It's okay, it's okay. You go ahead and do your thing and I'll go back first. It's still very cold outside." Aunt Li patted Su Mianmian's shoulder and turned to go back.
As soon as he entered the door, little Ayan couldn't wait to run over, "Sister, you are back? My Naitang and Xiaohui."
Su Mianmian looked at the fat rabbit she raised and joked, "Xiao Hui is so fat, it's enough for our whole family to eat. Let's kill it tonight for a snack."
Little Ayan's eyes widened, "Sister, no."
After saying this, he was afraid that Su Mianmian would catch the rabbit and kill it for food, so he quickly took it back to his room.
Su Mianmian couldn't stop laughing behind him.
Shen Yuandao showed a doting smile, "You are an adult, and you still bully children."
Having said that, the smile on his face did not diminish at all.
"I'd love to, what's the matter?"
Shen Yuandao looked at her with a smile, and suddenly there was a knock on the courtyard door.
Su Mianmian went to open the door and was a little surprised to see the people coming. "Aunt Cai, Aunt Li, and Aunt Lu, what's going on?"
"Come in quickly, it's very cold outside." Then he led the three people into the house.
"Oh! Nothing! I heard from your Aunt Li that you guys are back, so I came to see you." He handed a basket of eggs to Su Mianmian, "To give Shen Zhiqing and Qin Zhiqing some nourishment."
"Yes, yes, I don't have much good stuff at home, so I planted some cabbages in my own plot and picked three for you."
"Mianmian, this is vermicelli that my aunt made at home. It just so happened that your aunt Li brought some cabbage over. The cabbage stewed with vermicelli is so delicious."
Su Mianmian's eyes widened and she quickly waved her hands, "Aunt, this is too expensive. We can't accept it."
Aunt Cai pretended to be angry and said, "Mian girl, you are being so distant with us, aren't you? You and Qing girl's family always bring us a lot of rare things from the capital. What's this little thing?"
"Yes, put it away quickly." Aunt Li agreed.
"Keep it. Why are you being so polite to us? I owe it to you guys to help my daughter last time."
Su Mianmian didn't know what to do. She looked at Shen Yuandao, who was sitting silently beside her, and signaled with her eyes.
"Say something."
Shen Yuandao sensed the meaning in his wife's eyes and was about to speak, but Aunt Cai noticed and quickly interrupted, "Mian girl, Xiao Shen, if you refuse again, it means you don't treat your aunt as your own!"
"right."
"right."
Su Mianmian choked, and Shen Yuandao had no choice but to nod in agreement, "Thank you very much, Auntie."
After hearing this, the three of them laughed, "That's right."
Su Mianmian thanked her, "Thank you, auntie."
The three of them waved their hands, "You're welcome."
They sat for a while and then stood up and said goodbye.
After everyone left, Su Mianmian looked at the things on the table and asked, "What should we do?"
"Keep it for yourself. As for the return gift, aren't we going to Beijing this year? Just bring back some food and entertainment."
Su Mianmian's eyes lit up, "What a good idea! Let's do it."
