"Grandma's health hasn't been very good since my uncle went missing. My family rarely mentions him in front of her, but they've never given up trying to find out about him. It's just that there's been no progress for so many years."
When Su Mianmian heard this, she remembered that her grandfather's family used to be from Shanghai, and her father was also picked up in Shanghai, so it was possible that they just looked similar.
Thinking of this, she said it out loud.
Su Qingqing nodded after hearing this, "That's right."
The two quickly put the matter behind them.
When they arrived at the Yun family, Yun Shu and the others had already prepared the meal. Seeing the three of them coming back, they invited them to eat.
After dinner, Wen Yuexian and the others continued to sew clothes, while Su Mianmian and Su Qingqing went to the back mountain.
Su Mianmian hadn't eaten meat for several days. Every time she entered the space and looked at the meat in the refrigerator, she drooled. However, she didn't dare to take it out. She hadn't been to the commune recently, and it would be bad if she took it out and people noticed.
Thinking of this, Zuo was bored staying at home, so he pulled Su Qingqing out of the yard and headed towards the back mountain.
If you can’t eat the meat in the space, you can hunt some wild animals.
Su took a quick look. It was still drizzling. She shook her head.
"I think in this weather, let alone wild animals, even the two of us would have a hard time reaching the back mountain. Look at this dirt. Do you think we're on a modern asphalt road?"
The corners of Su Mianmian's mouth twitched. "Ah, that's right, ha, I forgot for a moment."
Su Qingqing shrugged with a helpless smile on her face, "Since we're out now, let's go for a walk." She took Su Mianmian's hand, and the two continued to walk along the path.
Suddenly, they heard voices in front of them, and the two couldn't help but slow down their pace.
Su Mianmian and Su Qingqing looked at the captain who was chatting happily with others in front of them, and felt a little hesitant.
Su Mianmian wondered if she should go up and say hello, but wouldn't that be too abrupt? Su Qingqing gently tugged at Su Mianmian's sleeve, signaling her to wait.
"Boss, this time it's all thanks to you." A deep male voice sounded, full of gratitude.
Su Mianmian and Su Qingqing looked at the person who was speaking, glanced at each other, and didn't know each other.
"Wow! Don't be so polite. It's all my duty." The captain responded, his voice sounding very easy-going.
The two stood there, and just as they were about to leave quietly, the captain had already discovered them.
He showed a puzzled expression and asked, "Why are you here?"
Seeing this, Su Qingqing replied, "Captain, we were bored at home so we came out for a walk. We didn't expect to meet you here."
The captain nodded and said, "Haha, it's good to go out for a walk more often. It just rained and the air is fresh."
After saying that, he pointed at Su Mianmian and Su Qingqing and introduced them to the other two middle-aged men.
"Lao Jia, Lao Huang, these two are educated youth from our brigade, Su Mianmian and Su Qingqing. It was them that day who warned me of a rainstorm, which is why I went to the commune."
The two middle-aged men listened and nodded repeatedly with approval on their faces.
"These young intellectuals are amazing! They're worthy of being educated. They even know how to check the weather."
The captain of the Luwanwan Brigade was envious of the troublemakers in their brigade. He looked at the captain and said, "Old Dong, how about this? Can I trade a few of your educated youth with you?"
The team leader rolled his eyes and said, "Come on, you think I don't know about those restless educated youth in your team?"
Old Jia smiled and shut his mouth decisively.
Su Mianmian and Su Qingqing smiled as they bickered. The captain remembered that Su Mianmian and the others didn't know the two yet, so he quickly introduced them.
"By the way, this is the captain of the Luwanwan Brigade, and this is the captain of the Zhuwan Brigade."
"Yes, just call me Uncle Jia, and call him Uncle Huang." Uncle Jia added enthusiastically.
After Su Mianmian and Su Qingqing called everyone one by one, they turned around and left when they found there was nothing for them to do.
I had only taken a few steps when I heard Uncle Jia, the captain of the Luwanwan Brigade, say:
"Thanks to your team! It rained heavily that night, and I was worried, so I went to the cowshed, only to find it flooded. They happened to live downstream, and nearly all seven or eight of them were washed away."
The captain was shocked after hearing this and said with emotion:
"Luckily, we discovered it in time, otherwise seven or eight people would have lost their lives. The educated youth in our brigade are also great. They sensed the danger in advance."
After hearing this, Su Mianmian felt happy for a moment and secretly felt fortunate that she and a few educated youth had reminded the team leader that day.
Fortunately, the team leader reported the matter to the commune director, thus avoiding tragedy.
………………*
The two walked towards the Yun family. Su Mianmian took a look at the pork belly in the space and became more and more greedy.
She glanced at Su Qingqing quietly, "Qingqing, what should I do if I want to eat meat?"
Su sighed softly. She was also greedy.
"Just say it was sent back from my family."
"But we haven't been to the commune recently."
"Stupid, can't you just say you didn't finish the ones you sent earlier?"
The two of them thought about it and decided to do so. Anyway, they were sure to eat the meat today.
When Su Mianmian and Su Qingqing returned home, the house was filled with a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
As soon as they entered the room, they found Wen Yuexian, Yunshu and Jiang Ya sitting together, sewing clothes seriously with needles and thread in their hands.
"We're back."
Su Mianmian greeted them with a smile, and her eyes immediately fell on the two little guys.
Su Yanshu and He Youan were seen standing aside wearing their newly sewn clothes and showing off.
As soon as Su Yanshu saw his sister come in, he couldn't wait to show off his new clothes. He climbed down from the kang and ran to Su Mianmian and Su Qingqing with an expectant look on his face.
"Sister, do I look good?"
He Youan also got off the kang and walked over. Although he didn't say anything, his bright eyes revealed the same expectation.
Su Mianmian looked at the two little guys with smiling faces, looking energetic in their new clothes.
Su Mianmian was very supportive and nodded in praise.
"So beautiful! Ayan and Anan are the most beautiful kids in our family!"
Su Qingqing also echoed.
"Ayan, An'an, you two are so cute! Your new clothes look so good on you!"
After being praised by the two, Su Yanshu felt a little shy and ran over to climb onto the kang, throwing himself into Wen Yuexian's arms. He covered his little face with his chubby little hands and didn't look at Su Mianmian and Su Qingqing.
It was the first time that He Youan heard such direct praise from an outsider. His face turned red and he leaned next to Yun Shu with his head down and said nothing.
Jiang Ya found this very amusing and joked, "What's wrong? Are you shy? They look good to begin with! Look at how adorable these two little ones are in their new clothes!"
After she said that, the two little guys' faces turned even redder.
They all stretched out their chubby hands to cover their faces.
This scene made everyone present burst into laughter, and the whole room was filled with laughter.
