In the afternoon, Jiang Cheng went to He Xiaomi's house when the sun was not shining and gave him the money he earned from wood carving.
"By the way, Chengcheng, can you help me see if there are any cheap shops in town?" He Xiaomi asked.
"Why do you suddenly want to look at the shop? Do you want to buy something?" Jiang Cheng asked curiously.
"No, I can't afford it right now! I want to rent a small shop in town. I can't rely on you to sell the wood carvings I make every day, so I'm thinking of renting a shop in town and starting a small business like you!"
He Xiaomi expressed her thoughts, and Jiang Cheng thought it was great after listening to them!
"That's a great idea! I'll help you find it when I get back!" Jiang Cheng readily agreed. "Just wait for my good news!"
"Okay!" He Xiaomi said with a smile.
When Jiang Cheng was walking back, he suddenly noticed a small creature slowly approaching him. When he looked closely, it was Song Yu!
Song Yu ran so fast with a small windmill in his hand!
"Xiao Yu? Where have you been?" Jiang Cheng stopped Song Yu who was running wildly and asked curiously.
"Brother Chengcheng? Why are you here?" Song Yu retracted the windmill in his hand and said, "I'm not doing anything! I just went out to play with Heiwa and the others!"
"Really?" Jiang Cheng asked suspiciously.
"Really!" Song Yu nodded vigorously.
"Okay then! Show your little windmill to Brother Chengcheng!" Jiang Cheng bent down and asked Song Yu for his little windmill.
Song Yu gave him the windmill reluctantly. Jiang Cheng took it in his hand and looked at it again and again. No one in the village sold this!
Seeing Song Yu's guilty look, Jiang Cheng knew that he must be hiding something from him. Jiang Cheng thought of what he noticed last winter and decided to ask Song Yu.
"Xiao Yu, tell Brother Chengcheng if you are hiding something from us?" Jiang Cheng asked as he took Song Yu's hand and found a shady place to sit down.
"It's okay, Brother Chengcheng, what are you talking about?" Song Yu was still stubborn, shaking his head like a rattle.
"real?"
"Really!" Song Yu nodded vigorously.
"Then I'm curious why the cakes I brought back every time were eaten so quickly. And your eldest brother's old clothes, I remember that your brother's old cotton-padded clothes disappeared during the Chinese New Year last year. Mother looked for them for a long time!" Jiang Cheng said deliberately.
Song Yu didn't take it seriously at first, but as he listened, he became more and more nervous and his eyes began to wander around.
"This...how should I know this..." Song Yu's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally he stopped talking.
"Xiao Yu, tell me quietly. Brother Cheng Cheng promises not to tell anyone!" Jiang Cheng said softly. Seeing that Song Yu had relaxed a little, he continued, "I swear, I won't tell anyone!"
Song Yu looked at it again and again, thought for a while and decided to believe Jiang Cheng.
"I'm not hiding anything, I just know someone..." Song Yu mumbled to Jiang Cheng everything that had happened between her and Zhang Jinyou from the time they met until now.
Jiang Cheng originally thought that Song Yu was just an acquaintance who had not known each other for long, but he did not expect that it had been so long. Jiang Cheng calculated that it had been about a year.
I also found it funny to hear how they usually communicate with each other.
Song Yu talked a lot, and after that he didn't dare to look at Jiang Cheng, for fear that Jiang Cheng would say something to him.
"Xiao Yu..." Jiang Cheng didn't know what to say after hearing this. "Xiao Yu, if you want to know your friends, just know your friends. Why do you have to hide it from your family? You even secretly took things from home to support others. Mom always feels like our house has been robbed!"
"I'm just afraid of what mom will say! Besides, Ayou is not a man! I'm afraid mom won't let me meet him again!" Song Yu also knew that boys should keep a distance from men, but he just felt that Zhang Jinyou was a good person and suitable to be a friend, and he listened to him in everything!
"What are you thinking about in your little head!" Jiang Cheng tapped Song Yu's head with his hand, "How old are you now? You are only ten years old! It's not time yet. If you believe me, go back and tell me that you have a new friend. I promise I will be happy to help!"
Jiang Cheng knew Xu Sanniang, a person with a sharp tongue but a kind heart! If she knew Zhang Jinyou's life story, she would definitely feel sorry for him!
"Really?! Forget it!" Song Yu was a little tempted at first, but when he thought of Xu Sanniang's usual behavior, he felt scared. "Brother Chengcheng, my mother is very good to you, but for me, it would be a blessing if she didn't scold me for one day!"
"You little heartless boy, who is your mother doing this for? It's all for your own good. You're acting like a little man all day long. If I don't take care of you, you'll be in big trouble!" Jiang Cheng said with a smile.
Song Yu felt embarrassed by what Jiang Cheng said and just kept rubbing the ground with his feet.
"Okay, Brother Chengcheng won't force you! Think about it yourself. Anyway, Brother Chengcheng thinks you should find a chance to talk to your mother, and don't always hide it. Do you hear me?" Jiang Cheng stood up. He felt hot after staying outside for so long, so he took Song Yu's hand and walked back, and gave him his little windmill by the way.
"I know." Song Yu responded with a full mouth.
After they returned home, they saw Xu Sanniang walking back and forth under the eaves holding Doudou.
"Oh, you're back! I thought you stayed outside and didn't come home!" Xu Sanniang said this to Song Yu. Song Yu could hear it and just laughed.
Then he slipped in while Xu Sanniang wasn't paying attention!
"Hey! Look at this child! I don't know who he looks like?" Xu Sanniang turned around and Song Yu disappeared. She was too lazy to pay attention to Song Yu.
This kid is such a jerk! It's fine when it's cold, but when it's hot he always runs outside! It's like he's left his heart outside!
"Mom, stop talking about Xiaoyu all the time, he's still young!" Jiang Cheng came over to play the fool.
"Come on, just spoil him! He is not small at all. Our Doudou is small! Right?" Xu Sanniang rolled her eyes and then went to coax Doudou.
Doudou smiled twice out of courtesy, which made Xu Sanniang very painful!
Seeing that Xu Sanniang was like this, Jiang Cheng probably couldn't snatch the thing from her, so he just teased her for a while and went into the house to find Song Tingzhi.
Jiang Cheng walked around the room but couldn't find anyone. He came out and asked, "Mom, where is Tingzhi?"
"He went to the mountain and hasn't come back yet!" Xu Sanniang replied.
"Oh." Jiang Cheng nodded without saying anything.
She went into the house, took a small stool and sat under the eaves to make clothes for Doudou, and chatted with Xu Sanniang.
