With Gu Nian's permission, Xiao Ni carried the box away, looking at her carrying such a big box all by herself.
Gu Nian wanted to help, but she refused.
"Gu Nian, thank you, but I can carry it back myself."
Xiao Ni couldn't wait to get home and read the storybook, so she carried her all the way back like this.
Liu Chan was deeply moved when she saw that Gu Nian had given her daughter so many storybooks.
"These books are all very new."
Like a new book, it's easy to imagine how much its original owner cherished it.
Liu Chan taught her daughter to take good care of books, and Xiao Ni nodded and went to read.
Liu Chan ignored her and thought about what to do to send to Ye Zhaozhao.
She was busy in the kitchen when she heard footsteps in the yard. When she went out, she saw the man she hadn't seen in a long time standing in the yard.
Holding a fish in her hand, Liu Chan gave him a casual greeting and went inside.
The man noticed that she was no longer flustered when facing him.
Instead, she remained calm, which surprised the man. Liu Chan took the fish and prepared it.
When the fish was cooked, she went to call her daughter and found her daughter still engrossed in a book.
"Xiao Ni, dinner's ready."
Seeing her daughter like this, Liu Chan felt a pang of sadness. She thought about finding a job to earn money so she could buy her daughter more storybooks.
During the meal, Liu Chan told the man that she wanted to try looking for a job outside.
The man was also surprised to hear that she wanted to go out to work. Didn't she say before that she couldn't see outsiders and couldn't go out to work?
Seeing the confusion in his eyes, Liu Chan realized that Ye Zhaozhao was right.
Interacting with people isn't so scary; she wanted to give it a try. The man looked at Liu Chan in front of him.
It was clearly her face, but for some reason, it felt unfamiliar to him.
As for work, he would first inquire with the military region to see if he was willing to ask, and Liu Chan would certainly not refuse.
Even if the two are not familiar with each other, he is still Xiao Ni's father.
After figuring it out, Liu Chan started eating heartily; the fish tasted amazing today.
——
That day, Ye Zhaozhao was called by Bian Zhaoyue and Lu Shiyun to go up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots.
All three carried large baskets on their backs; bamboo shoots sprouted on the mountain as soon as the New Year was over.
As soon as Ye Zhaozhao arrived at the mountain, she saw a lot of bamboo shoots, and Bian Zhaoyue and Lu Shiyun were just about to start digging.
Suddenly a woman came over. Before Ye Zhaozhao could even see her face clearly, Bian Zhaoyue and Lu Shiyun were already unhappy.
"Yu Meilan, we found these bamboo shoots first, why are you trying to steal them?"
"Who says these bamboo shoots belong to you?"
Yu Meilan ignored the three people and started digging, while Ye Zhaozhao glanced at them.
He took Bian Zhaoyue and Lu Shiyun to the side, and soon after, they heard Yu Meilan scream.
"My God, there are rats here."
They were still growing in clusters, making Yu Meilan's scalp tingle; she couldn't possibly care less about digging bamboo shoots anymore.
At this moment, Bian Zhaoyue and Lu Shiyun couldn't help but laugh, letting her snatch it again.
Clearly, they weren't afraid of rats. Hearing them laugh, Yu Meilan lost all interest in digging bamboo shoots and went straight over to question the three of them.
"Did you do this on purpose?"
"Yu Meilan, have you no shame? Didn't you ask to dig it up yourself?"
Lu Shiyun had never seen her bully people like this before. Yu Meilan suddenly realized she was in the wrong, and the three of them ignored her and decided it was better that they stopped digging.
They dug, the three of them carrying only one basket up the mountain, and they finished digging very quickly.
As for the rest, we'll dig them up later.
The three of them went down the mountain together. Ye Zhaozhao wanted to make pickled bamboo shoots, so she told them how.
Hearing Ye Zhaozhao describe Lu Shiyun made him hungry, and he pulled Ye Zhaozhao along.
"Senior sister, can I do it with you?"
"Can."
Lu Shiyun is a person who understands boundaries, and there is no pressure in getting along with such a person. Ye Zhaozhao likes to associate with her, and then turned to ask Bian Zhaoyue.
"Sister-in-law Bian, do you want to come along?"
Bian Zhaoyue shook her head after hearing this, and Ye Zhaozhao didn't ask any further questions.
However, Bian Zhaoyue was already familiar with both of them, and everyone knew about her family situation.
"Sister-in-law Bian, are you still going to carry the bamboo shoots to the grocery store to sell?"
Lu Shiyun knew that Bian Zhaoyue would take the bamboo shoots to the grocery store to sell every year.
Then exchange the money to help support her family. Bian Zhaoyue nodded. From their conversation, Ye Zhaozhao learned that Bian Zhaoyue had an elderly person to take care of.
"Sister-in-law Bian, is Auntie feeling unwell somewhere? I know medicine, I can take a look at her."
Both Bian Zhaoyue and Lu Shiyun were shocked to hear that Ye Zhaozhao actually knew medicine.
After the initial shock, Bian Zhaoyue felt a pang of disappointment, because her mother had been suffering from heel pain for a long time and had even seen a doctor, but it hadn't gotten better.
But since Ye Zhaozhao had spoken, she let her go and see. Ye Zhaozhao noticed the confusion in Bian Zhaoyue's eyes.
But she didn't say anything, and Lu Shiyun was fine.
After returning home and putting down the bamboo shoots, Ye Zhaozhao and I went to Bian Zhaoyue's house. At Bian Zhaoyue's house, Da Wu and Xiao Wu were playing with the children at the door.
When they entered the house, they found an old woman lying on the bed.
Bian Zhaoyue went over and woke her mother. When the old lady saw that someone had come to the house, she was about to get out of bed.
"Mom, this is a military wife from the family compound. She knows medicine. Come and take a look at your foot."
"My feet have always had this problem, no need to see a doctor."
She was already very grateful that she was staying at her daughter and son-in-law's house.
She didn't want to cause them trouble or cost them money, and Ye Zhaozhao, seeing her intention, took the initiative to speak up.
"I won't charge you. Just have Sister Bian dig a basket of bamboo shoots for me."
"Comrade Ye, how could I possibly accept this?"
