When they arrived at the Yun family, Shen Yuandao did not stop. Instead, he took the person directly back to their home.
Su Mianmian was puzzled, "Where are you going?"
"Oh, my aunt and uncle won't be back at noon, so they'll eat at our house today."
Having said that, Shen Yuandao took the two siblings back home.
When the three of them returned, Su Qingqing and Qin Huaichuan had already prepared the meal. After the meal, they went to rest.
…
In the afternoon, Qin Huaichuan sent Su Qingqing to work. Shen Yuandao glanced at the dazed Su Yanshu, picked him up, and said to Su Mianmian: "You go to work, I'll take care of Ah Yan."
"No need. I'll go to the threshing ground with you this afternoon. The principal asked me to ask how many children in our team are going to school." Su Mianmian said.
"Okay, let's go." After saying that, he took Su Mianmian's hand and walked towards the threshing ground.
When I arrived at the threshing ground, I met Aunt Li and her family.
Seeing this, Su Mianmian quickly broke free from Shen Yuandao's hand and greeted Aunt Li and the others.
Aunt Li couldn't help but feel curious when she saw Su Mianmian coming to the threshing ground. "Little Su, you didn't go to work?"
Su Mianmian: "I came to ask how many children in our team go to school, so I didn't go to school." Su Mianmian explained the reason.
Aunt Li nodded. "Well! That's the matter. Why don't you just ask the team leader and have him shout it out through the loudspeaker in the threshing yard?"
Su Mianmian's eyes lit up. Yes, this way she wouldn't have to ask everyone one by one.
"Aunt, you have helped me a lot." Su Mianmian took Aunt Li's arm.
Aunt Li smiled and said, "You're welcome, young educated youth Su." Little girls are so popular!
She looked at Shen Yuandao, who was listening to them quietly, and asked, "What's this, Shen Zhiqing?"
Shen Yuandao said calmly, “Aunt Li, I’ll wait for Mianmian.”
Aunt Li raised her eyebrows. She had just seen the two young educated youth holding hands from a distance. The atmosphere was so exciting, but they let go of each other in the blink of an eye. She thought she had seen it wrong, but now it seems she was right!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask, "Mianmian, you two?"
Su Mianmian's cheeks flushed slightly. "Aunt Li, Shen Zhiqing and I are dating."
Hearing this, Aunt Li clapped her hands and said, "Oh! That's great! I've been hoping you two little educated youths can succeed."
Aunt Li pulled Su Mianmian with excitement and said, "Mianmian, when are you two going to have the wedding? Just call me now and I will arrange everything for you." She had heard about Mianmian's family situation. There were only two siblings left, so the wedding had to be organized by an elder.
Besides, if by any chance Shen Zhiqing's family couldn't see Mianmian and her brother clearly, although they couldn't do anything, they could still make up the numbers.
"Yes, Miss Mian, Grandma Li will support you when the time comes." Grandma Tiezhu agreed.
Li Tiezhu also interjected, "Yes, Sister Mianmian, I'll call on my good friends to support you."
Su Mianmian was touched. "Thank you, Grandma, Aunt Li, and Tiezhu. I'm still young, so I won't consider getting married yet."
When Aunt Li and Old Lady Li heard this, they thought, yes, Mianmian is only 16 years old and still young.
The men of the Li family had been silent and listened quietly. When they thought of Su Mianmian's age, they all looked at Shen Yuandao with condemnation.
Tiezhu's father looked at Shen Yuan and said, "Shen Zhiqing and Xiao Su Zhiqing are still so young, and you took action. Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
Aunt Li and Old Lady Li didn't say anything, but both looked in agreement.
Shen Yuandao was not angry at what everyone in the sect said, and smiled good-temperedly, "Mianmian is so kind, of course I have to take action in advance."
"Chen Zhiqing, what do you mean by taking action in advance?" The team leader came over and spoke curiously when he heard Shen Yuandao say that.
Shen Yuandao glanced at the captain and said, "Uncle Captain, we are talking about getting a good girl so we have to act in advance."
The captain agreed, "Yeah, that's right."
Su Mianmian's face turned awkward, and she changed the subject, "Captain, how many children in our team go to school?"
The captain heard Su Mianmian's voice and asked in confusion, "Huh? Little Su Zhiqing, you didn't go to work?"
"This is what I'm talking about. I'll ask how many children in our team are attending classes, and then see if there are enough textbooks." Su Mianmian replied.
"Oh, it's a small matter. I'll ask for you later. If I go to class, I'll tell you and you just write it down." The captain nodded.
After saying that, the captain glanced at the time and said, "It's time, let's all go to work!"
Su Mianmian took the sleeping Su Yanshu from Shen Yuandao's arms.
Su Yanshu realized something and rubbed his eyes, "Sister, Ayan is sleepy."
Su Mianmian patted his back gently, "Be good, sister will hold you, you go to sleep first."
Hearing Su Mianmian's voice, he forced himself to resist the sleepiness and said, "No, I'm tired."
After saying that, he got down from Su Mianmian's arms and held Su Mianmian's hand obediently.
Su Mianmian didn't say anything else and took the little guy to the threshing ground. The team leader had just said that when everyone saw Su Mianmian coming, they quickly asked their children to come to Su Mianmian and tell her.
Soon, seven or eight children gathered around Su Mianmian.
"Sister Mianmian, I want to go to school." A little girl with sunburned cheeks said shyly.
Su Mianmian nodded, "Okay."
…
Su Mianmian roughly remembered that there were about 14 children going to school in Sanyang Brigade. After she had an idea of it, Su Mianmian hugged Su Yanshu, said something to Shen Yuandao, and returned to the Yun family.
Then he pushed the bicycle and took Su Yanshu to Captain Lu Wanwan.
It was a little after four in the afternoon when Su Mianmian returned from Lu Wanwan Brigade. When the siblings returned to the Yun family, they saw Yun Shu and his family had returned.
They were clearing things in the yard.
Su Mianmian was curious, "Aunt Shu, what are you doing? Is Uncle He leaving?"
"Mianmian, our family is leaving. Follow your Uncle He." Yun Shu said.
Su Mianmian frowned, "Ah? Why so sudden?"
Yun Shu stopped what he was doing and pulled Su Mianmian to sit down. "Your uncle He and I are going to Beijing tomorrow to visit An An's grandfather."
Su Mianmian understood. "Is that so? Aunt Shu, have you packed your things?"
Yun Shu: "That's about it. Just bring a few changes of clothes. Your Uncle He said we'll buy them when we get there."
"That's fine." Su Mianmian thought about the housing issue again. It seemed she would have to build her own house. "Aunt Shu, Qingqing and I will move out as soon as we finish building the house. Is it okay for you to stay here for a few days? The rent is one month. There are only a few days left in August."
Yun Shu glared at Su Mianmian and said, "What did you say, little girl? You're being distant with Aunt Shu, aren't you? Besides, you're my future nephew's wife. How can I refuse you from living here?"
Su Mianmian was about to say something when Yun Shu interrupted her, "You and Qingqing should just live peacefully at your aunt's place. Why are you building a house? Do you have too much money and nowhere to spend it?"
Yun Shu poked Su Mianmian's head and said, "If you say that again, Aunt Shu and I will be angry."
