Grandma Song stood up from the pavilion and said, "Qingqing, let's carry the child into the house. We don't want to scare the child with all the noise from moving things around."
"Yeah." She also stood up and walked towards the living room.
Several people sat in the living room and talked. Jiang Haixia came over from the kitchen with six or seven cups of tea and put them all on the table.
Then I went out to help move things.
Xiuhong looked at Jiang Haixia's receding figure and asked, "Qingqing, when Haixia joined the army, was she already your guard?"
Lin Qingqing smiled and nodded: "I don't know how to fight, so the chief sent someone to look after me."
"I think Haixia is quite pretty," she said.
Although Jiang Haixia's face was cold, her heart was warmer than anyone else's.
The time they went to S City to meet Zhang Liang, it was all thanks to Jiang Haixia who helped them time and time again.
In the yard, the bluestone slab was soon filled with things, and the more people there were, the faster the things could be unloaded.
This commotion also attracted many people in the village to watch, mostly old men, women and children.
These people gathered in circles, squeezed at the door, and stretched their necks to look into the house, extremely curious about their neighbor.
"Mom, there are quite a few people gathered at the door. We'll have to live in the village for a long time. Please take out the fruit candies and melon seeds I bought a few days ago and give them to these people."
"Tuo."
Lin Mi saw three circles of people inside and outside the door. She came from the countryside and was the best at dealing with these people.
"Xiuhong, hold the child." She handed the second baby in her arms to Xiuhong.
Xiuhong quickly opened her arms to take the child in, and then asked softly, "Qingqing, which child is this?"
Lin Qingqing: "This is our second child, Wenwen. The eldest and second are boys, as you can tell by their clothes. The third and fourth are girls."
"Hey hey." Xiuhong looked at the child in her arms, her eyes almost closed due to laughter.
Lin Li had already taken out a small bag of fruit candies and a bag of melon seeds that he had prepared in advance from his bag.
She was carrying two bags and walked towards the door with a warm smile on her face.
"Fellow villagers, we just moved here today, and we'll be counting on you to take care of us from now on. I'm originally from Shan City, and my daughter is a soldier in the front line. It's inconvenient for us to live in the army with our child, so we bought a yard here for our family to live in."
What she said was the standard answer. There was no need to say anything more, and no need to go into any deeper details.
She simply gave a rough outline of the situation to avoid any questions. She knew the gossipy minds of the villagers best.
Seeing Lin Qi's enthusiasm and frankness, the indigenous people of the village also smiled.
"Since our village has bought a yard, we will all be one village from now on. We will take care of each other."
Some people have already started to exchange pleasantries.
Lin Li took advantage of the situation and deepened his smile, handing out candy and melon seeds: "Come on, eat candy and crack melon seeds."
The villagers just came to watch the fun, but they didn't expect Lin Li to come out with something in his hand, which made them feel a little unhappy.
As the saying goes, one should be grateful for what one has received.
Even though this is Kyoto, candy is not something that every household can enjoy.
When Lin Li handed over the candy bag and the melon seed bag one after another, some people just took one symbolically, while others shamelessly grabbed a handful.
Lin Li kept everyone's behavior in mind, so she would know when to behave properly when interacting with others.
She would have less contact with those who liked to take advantage of others, but would take the initiative to greet those who were polite, and would bring those she could get along with home.
These were the experiences she had accumulated from decades of living in the countryside, and she could test everyone's character with just a small bag of candy.
