Chapter 133 Going to Town
"By the way, I'm going to town to mail a letter first thing tomorrow morning. Is there anything you need me to bring back? I can help you buy it."
She had already consulted with Secretary Zhao about this matter, and luckily a tractor was going to town tomorrow morning, so she could hitch a ride.
"Send a letter? Xiaoxiao, send a letter back home for me too. I'll write it for you later." Shu Bowen was also thinking of sending a letter home to ask about the situation at home.
“Okay.” Su Xiao readily agreed and looked at the others.
Fang Minghao and Cheng Jiulang shook their heads.
Looking at Shang Ziming, he had originally planned to ask a question as a formality, but unexpectedly...
"I'm going to town tomorrow too, let's go together."
Su Xiao felt annoyed, her lips twitched, and she forced a smile, "Oh, what a coincidence."
"Yes, it is indeed a coincidence."
That's true. He promised Old Man Hua he'd find medicinal herbs today, so he had to go out and do it.
Su Xiao gave a fake smile, her dark eyes darting around as she thought about how to get rid of him in town.
The next morning, Su Xiao got up early again and went into the kitchen to cook breakfast, only to find that someone was already there.
"You're up? Cough cough..." Shang Ziming choked on his smoke, then said after a moment, "Breakfast is ready, let's eat something simple and then leave."
"Okay." Seeing that he was about to serve the porridge, Su Xiao quickly helped him by getting a bowl from the cupboard.
Shang Ziming took it, and inevitably, their fingers briefly touched before separating.
That fleeting sensation...
Su Xiao tried to remain calm, but her ears turned slightly red.
Shang Zimu remained expressionless, but couldn't help rubbing his fingers repeatedly.
The two remained silent, yet a subtle atmosphere lingered between them.
Su Xiao felt slightly annoyed and frowned slightly.
Shang Ziming blinked, his eyes darkening slightly, his face growing increasingly cold and stern.
Shang Ziming was even more annoyed than Su Xiao. He felt that the little girl was always smiling and chatting with others, but she seemed very polite to him, often leading to awkward silences and nothing to talk about.
He seemed to dislike her very much.
Su Xiao groaned as she dragged a large bag toward the courtyard gate, her face full of resentment. Her life was so hard, waah…
Originally, she only intended to make a show of it, replacing the saplings inside with a few dead branches and some leaves, and then she would just find a place to store them when she got to town.
Because of Shang Zimu, she added several more wet saplings to increase the weight.
She knew...
"I'll do it." Shang Ziming finished washing the dishes and chopsticks, closed the door, and strode towards her, taking the bag and about to hoist it onto his shoulder.
Su Xiao quickly stepped forward to stop him, "Hey, put it down, put it down quickly, you're wearing a white shirt, don't get it dirty."
There was wet, muddy soil inside; oh, she knew he would help.
Upon hearing this, Shang Ziming simply switched to carrying it; even such a large bag was easily handled.
Su Xiao blinked, pouted, and jogged to catch up.
It was the same old man who had picked them up. As soon as he saw Su Xiao and Shang Ziming coming from afar, he started the tractor without any hesitation.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry to trouble you again today." Su Xiao greeted the old man with a smile.
"Wow, you're quite the little guy! I've heard about it. You've only been there a day and you've already accomplished something great. Well done!" the old man praised.
Su Xiao felt a little embarrassed by such direct praise. She hadn't really done anything special; she had simply adopted a method from her later life, ultimately for her own convenience—for counting and storing things.
Shang Ziming had already put the sacks on the tractor, jumped on himself, and then reached out his hand to Su Xiao...
