Chapter 45 But I feel uncomfortable

The man looked familiar, and he was carrying a large basket.

Seeing her, he waved to her.

"Sister Weiwei!!"

Song Shiwei took a closer look. Isn't this Xiaojun's sister, Xiaocui?

He quickly put down the hoe in his hand.

"Xiao Cui? Why are you here?"

The soldier on duty saluted her.

"Sister-in-law, since you know her, I'll leave!"

Song Shi smiled and nodded.

"Just getting acquainted, it's alright, go ahead and do your work, I'll send the person out later."

After the soldier left, Xiao Cui knelt down in front of Song Shiwei again with a "thump".

Song Shiwei was startled and quickly pulled her up.

"Xiao Cui, what are you doing? Get up!"

Xiao Cui just kept crying and refused to get up.

"Sister Weiwei, I really don't know how to repay you for all the kindness you have shown to our family! I can only kowtow to you and hope you live a long life!"

Hearing her words, Song Shiwei's eyes suddenly turned red.

"Get up! Xiao Cui! Get up quickly!"

Sun Meimei, who was drying her clothes nearby, couldn't help wiping away tears when she saw this.

Help her pull Xiao Cui up.

"Xiao Cui, listen to your sister Weiwei and get up quickly! The ground is cold, do you still want to use your knees?"

In the end, Xiao Cui kowtowed three times before getting up.

Seeing the hoe beside her, he quickly put down the basket in his hand and started to help her hoe the floor.

Song Shiwei and Sun Meimei looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

This child has the most simple nature. If you don't let her do something, she really won't be able to sleep well or eat well.

If it makes her feel better, let her help!

In the past few days, Song Shiwei found a lot of vegetable seeds from Sun Meimei and Jian Qiu, including beans, cucumbers, and tomatoes. Although it is a little late, they can still be planted.

She also got some radish, cabbage, green beans and spinach seeds, which can be planted after the beginning of autumn.

Originally, it might have taken her a whole day to finish it, but with Xiao Cui's help, she finished it in less than two hours.

This child is really good at housework. After planting, she took a bucket to the well to fetch water and watered the fields thoroughly.

After finishing all this, it was already late. Song Shiwei wanted to keep her here for dinner, but she said she didn't want to eat anything.

"Sister Weiwei, I won't eat anymore. My grandparents are waiting for me to go back and cook!"

As she spoke, she handed the basket she brought with her to Song Shiwei.

"Sister Weiwei, I have no way to repay you for your kindness. These are the fruits from the peach trees we planted at home. They are so sweet. I'm giving them to you to taste!"

Song Shiwei lifted the floral cloth on the basket and saw big, juicy peaches underneath.

She looks so good! She looks so sweet!

She simply didn't bother to be polite with her: "Thank you very much, please say hello to your grandpa and grandma for me. I will go to your house to visit your grandpa and grandma when I am free tomorrow!"

Xiao Cui looked a little flustered. She nodded quickly with a red face, turned around and ran away.

Song Shiwei was still thinking, what happened to her? It was as if someone was chasing her from behind.

I carried the peaches back to the house, thinking that the children would be back soon after playing outside.

Just prepare to wash these peaches.

Who would have thought that as soon as the peaches were poured into the basin, a small bag held in a hand knot fell out from the bottom.

She picked it up and took a look. Suddenly she had a bad feeling and opened it hastily.

Inside was a roll of money. The denominations were not large, just one or two cents. It was obvious that the owner of the money had saved it for a long time.

Song Shiwei counted and found that there were actually five dollars!

This may not be a lot for her, but for Xiao Cui and her family, it is definitely a huge sum of money, enough for her to buy medicine for her grandparents for several days.

Thinking of this, Song Shiwei's brows furrowed tightly.

I wanted to chase her, but gave up after a moment's thought.

Even if she caught up with her and gave her the money, she probably wouldn't want it. Even if she forced it on her, it would only make Xiao Cui feel uncomfortable.

For a moment, Song Shiwei held the roll of money tightly, feeling uneasy for a long time.

In this case, why not find a way to help her make some money?

It can be considered as indirectly helping their family.

He carefully put the roll of money in his pocket.

After washing the peaches, we started cooking.

There were still various dishes that Zhou Xiaomei had sent us last time that we hadn’t finished eating, so we fried a potato, chilled a cucumber, made a fried pancake, and cooked some rice porridge.

By the time she finished cooking, the children and Zhou Tingyue had also returned.

Seeing the peaches on the table, Zhou Wei and Zhou Xinxin were very happy.

"Wow! Peach!!"

"Mom, where did the peaches come from?"

Song Shi came out of the kitchen with a smile.

"Your sister Xiao Cui brought it over. She said it was grown in her own home!"

Zhou Xinxin cheered happily and started to eat a peach.

As soon as you take a bite, the juice flows down the corners of your mouth.

"Wow, the peaches at Sister Xiaocui's house are so sweet!"

Zhou Wei also nodded while eating: "Sweet! Really sweet!"

Several children came back, but Zhou Cheng was the only one missing.

Song Shiwei couldn't help but ask, "Where is your eldest brother? Why can't I see your eldest brother?"

Zhou Lin hesitated for a moment, but Zhou Wei reacted quickly.

"Brother can't run as fast as us! He should be back soon!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhou Cheng coming back. Song Shiwei didn't think about it anymore and asked the children to eat.

But when eating, Zhou Cheng ate very slowly, as if his hands were feeling uncomfortable.

"Zhou Cheng, what's wrong with you?"

Zhou Tingyue also hurriedly looked at him.

Zhou Cheng hurriedly scratched his hand and said with a smile: "Oh, I'm fine, I was just playing leaping goat with Hu Zi and the others, and I accidentally twisted my hand!"

Zhou Lin, Zhou Wei and the others seemed to be hesitant to talk, and all looked at his hand with concern.

Fortunately, Song Shiwei listened to him and didn't ask any more questions. After all, every boy has his own little secrets. As long as he didn't do anything bad, she didn't want to interfere too much with him.

After dinner, when the children were asleep, Song Shiwei took the bag of money out of his pocket.

"Tingyue, this is what Xiaocui secretly hid in the peach basket and brought back. When she came here today, she kowtowed to me three times before I gave up..."

Zhou Tingyue looked at her expression, then looked at the money in front of him, stretched out his big hand to touch her head, and said gently: "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Song Shiwei pouted and nodded.

"These two kids have had a hard life and are so sensible. I, I want to help them!"

Zhou Tingyue nodded: "Yes, if you want to help, just go ahead. Tell me how much it costs and I'll find a way!"

Song Shiwei likes this strong man who protects her! He agrees with whatever she says.

I was feeling upset at first, and was interrupted by him, so I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

She poked his waist shyly.

"Why do you agree with everything I say? Aren't you afraid that I'll squander all your wealth?"

Zhou Tingyue smiled and grabbed her naughty little hand.

"Don't worry, even if you spend all your money, it's okay. I will never let you and the children go hungry!"

Song Shiwei really warmed my heart.

"Virtue!"

Zhou Tingyue put his arms around her waist and lay down on the bed.

"Are you feeling better? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

Song Shiwei shook his head.

"I'm well now. I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere!"

But after hearing her words, Zhou Tingyue's eyes suddenly became deep, and he pouted and rubbed her fair neck in grievance.

"But I'm not feeling well..."
