After Qiaoqiao and Xiaoyu woke up, Jiang Cheng asked them to wash up, then served them each a bowl of porridge and some soy sauce tofu to go with it.
After Qiaoqiao finished eating, Lu Xiaoxiao planned to go back.
Jiang Cheng wanted to keep them at home for dinner, but Lu Xiaoxiao thought it was too much trouble, so she took Qiaoqiao back home and said she would come back the next morning.
Jiang Cheng couldn't stop them either. He was pregnant now and it was not easy for him to pull anything. He could only watch Lu Xiaoxiao take Qiaoqiao back.
Song Yu was originally thinking about playing with sister Qiaoqiao, but Qiaoqiao left just after dinner. Song Yu was unhappy to see Qiaoqiao leave, and he refused to write even when Song Tao asked him to.
"Nonsense! Go practice your calligraphy!" Song Tao said it to Song Yu several times, but Song Yu ignored him. Song Tao got angry and yelled at Song Yu.
"I don't want to! I'm a boy and I can't take the imperial examination! Why should I practice calligraphy? I don't want to practice!" Song Yu was nine years old and sensible enough to have his own temper. He said loudly and ran out after that.
"You..." Seeing him run out, Song Tao became even angrier and was speechless.
"Dad, calm down and sit down first." Jiang Cheng helped Song Tao sit down, then poured him a glass of water to calm him down. "Dad, sit down first. I'll go find Xiaoyu!"
Seeing that Song Tao had calmed down a bit, Jiang Cheng decided to go out and look for Song Yu.
"Don't go, just let him stay outside! You are pregnant, don't go out!" Seeing Jiang Cheng was about to go out, Song Tao said some angrily to stop Jiang Cheng.
"Dad, it's okay. You sit at home for a while. Mom will be back soon. I'll go find Xiaoyu first. Don't let her be kidnapped by beggars!" Jiang Cheng was worried, so he asked Song Tao to wait for Xu Sanniang to come back at home, and he went out to find Song Yu first.
"Xiao Yu! Song Yu!"
"Auntie, have you seen Xiaoyu?"
"Uncle, have you seen Song Yu?"
Jiang Cheng asked everyone he met if they had seen Song Yu. Someone showed Jiang Cheng the way, and Jiang Cheng went in that direction to look for him. Jiang Cheng called out for Song Yu as he walked, but he didn't see Song Yu after walking for a long time.
As Jiang Cheng walked, he felt a little pain in his stomach, so he didn't dare to walk anymore and found a rock to sit down and rest.
Jiang Cheng covered his stomach and didn't dare to move.
"Chengcheng? Why are you here?" Xu Sanniang saw Jiang Cheng sitting on a rock holding her stomach, and hurriedly led the cow over to take a look.
"Mom." Jiang Cheng looked up and said, "My stomach hurts a little!"
Jiang Cheng covered his stomach and said with a frown.
"Hey, get on the ox cart quickly, let's go home!" Xu Sanniang was startled and wanted to help Jiang Cheng get on the ox cart and go back.
"No, Mom, Xiaoyu ran away and I couldn't find him!" Jiang Cheng held Xu Sanniang's hand and talked about the key points of the quarrel between Song Tao and Song Yu.
"What a mess! You go home first. I'll ask Qiangdong to help find Xiaoyu!"
As soon as Xu Sanniang heard this, she knew that the father and son were stubborn and it gave her a headache.
Xu Sanniang sent Jiang Cheng back first, asked Song Tao to find a doctor to check on him, and then she went to find Song Qiangdong to help find Song Yu.
When Song Qiangdong heard that Song Yu ran away and disappeared, he immediately put down the work in his hands and went out to help find him!
After the village doctor came to check, he said that Jiang Cheng had a miscarriage and needed to rest. The pregnancy-preserving medicine that Song Tingzhi brought back had not been finished yet, so Song Tao boiled the medicine and gave it to Jiang Cheng to drink.
Song Yu ran out angrily and kept running until he could no longer run and then found a place to sit down and rest.
Song Yu looked around and found that he had run out of the village. Song Yu was a little scared. If he had known earlier, he would not have run so far.
Just as Song Yu was looking around, he suddenly heard some movement in the surrounding grass.
Song Yu was afraid that it was a wolf or something, so he hid behind a big tree and trembled.
Song Yu watched the grass shaking continuously and getting closer and closer to him, and he became more and more frightened.
Song Yu closed his eyes and regretted it deeply. He shouldn't have talked back to his father today. If he hadn't talked back, he wouldn't have run out. If he hadn't run out, he wouldn't have run into the woods. Now it was a question whether he could go back alive.
After waiting for a while, Song Yu felt that the movement around him had disappeared. Curiously, he opened his eyes and poked his head out to look, but there was nothing there.
Just when Song Yu breathed a sigh of relief, someone suddenly patted his shoulder.
"Ah————" Song Yu screamed in fear, closing his eyes tightly and not daring to turn around, for fear of seeing something he shouldn't see. He had heard rumors that there were ghosts in the mountain before.
"Don't be afraid, I'm a human."
The person behind seemed to be able to hear Song Yu's thoughts and spoke in a gentle voice.
"Ah——uh uh?" Song Yu was halfway through shouting when he heard voices and the shouting suddenly stopped.
Song Yu calmed down a little and felt the warm hand on his shoulder. He became a little bolder and slowly turned his head.
What came into Song Yu's eyes was a fairly pretty face, with messy hair, dark circles under the eyes, a thin figure, and clothes with patches all over them. It seemed that he didn't come from a well-off family.
This was Song Yu's impression of Zhang Jinyou when he first met him.
"Why are you scaring people in broad daylight?" Song Yu saw that it was a boy who was not much taller than him. He recalled how he had behaved just now and felt angry and annoyed.
"No, I just happened to pass by and saw..." You were lying behind a tree.
Seeing Song Yu's angry face, Zhang Jinyou didn't dare to say anything else and his voice gradually became softer.
"It's my fault. I scared you!" Seeing that Song Yu was still looking at him, Zhang Jinyou thought for a moment and blurted out some coaxing words.
"Hmph." Song Yu snorted coldly, and the anger in his heart subsided a lot.
In fact, Song Yu was not really angry. A big part of the reason was that he felt so embarrassed that he was seen by strangers.
For the sake of his own face, Song Yu could only say this deliberately to ease his embarrassment.
