Song Shuyao glanced at the net bag in his hand and said calmly, "Well, I'm going to go out and find someone."
"Male or female? I just happen to be going with you." He started to make up stories with his eyes open, and his inner vigilance suddenly increased, just like when they were dating in his previous life, she would follow him whenever he went out.
Song Shuyao didn't keep the secret. She looked around and saw that there were still people around, so she said, "Let's go."
He didn't say where he was going, but Liang Li was very happy to follow him, not caring at all where he was going.
Song Shuyao took the man to a corner, and after making sure that there was no one around and they would not be seen, she reached out and grabbed Liang Li's arm. The scene changed and they arrived in the villa space.
Liang Li was stunned for a moment, then understood, "You are here..." He stopped mid-sentence, not wanting to say that ominous word. In fact, he didn't dare to ask her how she got here, and whether she had died like him and ended up in this era. Now seeing this villa, besides surprise, he felt more of a heartache. He would rather she lived well.
Song Shuyao didn't respond and continued, "This is my space. I haven't tried to see if anyone else can come in. You are the first one I brought in. Maybe you can come in because you also have a space, or maybe other people can be brought in too."
Hearing about bringing someone else in, Liang Li frowned slightly, "It's best not to let others know about this. Although it's the 1960s, don't underestimate the state machinery."
Song Shuyao glanced at him. She was not stupid. She brought him in only because he had taken her to his space.
"It's even."
Liang Li was stunned for a moment, then he understood what she meant, "I can take you to my space anytime." If possible, he would give it to her.
"Try now."
"...Okay." Liang Li reached out and grabbed her wrist tentatively. Seeing that Song Shuyao didn't struggle, he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he silently thought of taking her into his mountain forest space, but found that it was impossible.
Song Shuyao understood from his expression and pulled her hand back, "I can't enter my own space even in your space."
"Maybe there is some restriction."
Song Shuyao nodded. This was just a small verification, and she would put it aside after verification. Before Liang Li could figure out the restrictions between spaces, she asked again, "Does what you said count?"
"Of course." Liang Li subconsciously affirmed.
"Then I want you to take off this military uniform?"
"You...what do you mean?" Liang Li reacted quickly, "Take it off, take it off, I'll take it off right away!" As he said that, he quickly pulled the buttons of his clothes with both hands, as if he was afraid that Song Shuyao would go back on her words if he was a second late.
Song Shuyao remained unmoved and looked at him expressionlessly.
Liang Li stopped moving, the joyful smile on his face faded, and he raised his hand to swear, "I will obey you for the rest of my life. Not only will I have to take off this military uniform and retire, I will even give you my life."
The resounding oath echoed the last words written so clearly: In the next life, all my wealth and life will belong to you!
Just for this ten-word suicide note, Song Shuyao finally nodded.
"good."
Just this once, for the last time, I deserve to lose, I win...
014
"Uncle, can you please ask Goudan not to live with me when you get home? I want to eat egg custard every day." Shugen, feeling that Hao Yuanchao was family and a reliable supporter, couldn't help but ask. Although his aunt said Goudan was his cousin, he didn't like cousins who would snatch food from him, or even take his younger siblings' rations. He was also greedy and didn't even dare to eat the milk powder and malted milk. His eldest brother said he would starve without his younger siblings, but Goudan disobeyed and ate it, refusing to listen to him at all. His aunt also said it was okay to let Goudan have a few bites. Shugen was confused, but his instinct told him that resistance was useless, so he could only talk to his uncle. His eldest brother said that everything would be fine after he returned.
What the eldest brother said was right. Now that his second uncle was back, he had delicious noodles to eat. And his second aunt was so pretty. The way she looked at him made him feel much more comfortable than the way his second aunt looked at him. He always felt that the way his second aunt looked at him was strange. He had not been to school yet and did not know whether that look was sympathy or envy. Sympathy for him because he had no parents, envy for him because he had a good second uncle, and the good fortune he would enjoy in the future because he was a city dweller. He even felt a little jealous. Why didn't her Goudan have the blessing of being a city dweller and eating delicious food every day?
Shugen didn't understand all this. He just thought that his second aunt's eyes were strange. However, he was a carefree person and often forgot about it after a while. He told Hao Yuanchao this just because he didn't like Goudan stealing his food.
Hao Yuanchao didn't directly answer Shugen's question. Instead, he said, "I'm coming back this time to take the four of you away to live with me and your second aunt in the military district. Are you happy with that?"
"Live with uncle and aunt?" A puzzled look flashed across Shugen's little eyes, not quite understanding what this meant.
"Just like you lived with your parents before, you will live with me and your second aunt from now on."
"My parents are dead. Will you die too?" People in rural areas are not shy about talking about death in front of children, because death is very common in rural areas. In addition to death from old age and illness, every year there are people who die while swimming, or are gored to death by wild boars while climbing the mountains. In the past few years, there were also people who starved to death. Various kinds of death and death at any time and anywhere make rural people sad and accustomed to it. Even in an era without gossip and entertainment, death is still brought up as a topic of conversation after dinner, especially abnormal death. People will say it's a pity or bad luck, but they don't worry about whether the children will have any psychological problems after hearing it, or tell them with white lies that the dead are just sleeping/going on a long journey/turning into stars in the sky to protect them.
