Chapter 203 Outing
Dongzhe didn't see Huang Ling and Xiaoting come to the workshop the next day, so he asked the aunts in the workshop.
The aunts told Dongzhe that the two of them went to purchase goods today and didn’t know whether they would come.
He had no choice but to go back to his room and do his homework.
But whenever he heard any noise outside, he would run out to see, and it turned out that it was not either of them.
Neither of them came the whole day.
During dinner last night, Dongzhe was held down by Song Ying and apologized to Xiaoting. Xiaoting said that she was no longer angry, but the two grew up together and had a certain understanding of each other. He knew at a glance that Xiaoting had not forgiven him.
He hadn't seen her all day today, and he felt a little uneasy, wondering if her anger had subsided.
After dinner, Dongzhe was in a daze in the yard, and Li Yiming just came back.
"Dongzhe, what happened? You got beaten up again?"
He shook his head.
Li Yiming felt that there was nothing else to do except this matter, so he invited her: "Come to my room and play for a while. Wait until your mother calms down before going back."
When I entered the room, I saw Aunt Li packing up some goods, which were a pile of colorful hairpins, hair silks, brooches and earrings for girls.
Dongzhe's eyes lit up: "It's really beautiful."
"Right! Your Aunt Huang said to sell them in clothing stores. Those little girls who buy fashionable clothes will definitely like these things." Li Yiming introduced.
Aunt Li was pinning hairpins on a cardboard, and putting brooches and earrings in a wooden jewelry box according to Huang Ling's classification.
"Brother Yiming, how much is this...?" Lin Dongzhe asked, pointing at a hairpin.
This hairpin has a whole row of small pink and white pearls on it, which is low-key, elegant and cute.
This is a unique piece, only one.
"Who is it for?" Li Yiming asked with a smile.
"I want to give it to Zhuang Xiaoting. I made her angry yesterday, and she hasn't forgiven me yet."
"Here." Li Yiming took off the hairpin and handed it to Dongzhe.
"How much, bro?"
"I don't want your money, it's for Xiaoting anyway."
“Really? Is it expensive?”
"Don't worry about it." Li Yiming patted his shoulder.
Dongzhe happily went out and heard Aunt Li sigh:
"Oh, these kids have grown up so fast, just like real brothers and sisters. They have such a close relationship. I wonder how old they were when they moved in here!"
"Yes! Dongzhe is still running around the alley in his torn pants!" Li Yiming answered while helping his mother.
"When Xiaoting gets married, these three brothers will definitely cry. Xiaoting is the best. She has so many people in her family supporting her!"
"What three? I don't count! Xiaoting calls me brother too!"
"Yes, you count too."
Dongzhe frowned at the door and thought to himself:
cry
She's getting married, why should I cry? I should clap my hands and see her off!
He went home holding the hairpin.
------
Early the next morning, before Dongzhe got up, Pengfei pulled off his quilt.
"Get up and follow me!"
"Still leaving! You just got punished, and you want to be punished again!" Dongzhe rubbed his eyes.
"No, Aunt Huang wants to take us to visit the breeding farm!"
Dongzhe jumped up and shouted, "Mom, Auntie Huang is taking us out to play!"
He shouted while putting on his clothes and changing his shoes and ran away.
He ran to the entrance of the yard, braked suddenly, ran back home, felt something under his pillow and put it in his pocket, then ran to meet up with everyone.
Standing at the entrance of the alley were Zhang Yongcheng, Huang Ling, Tunan and Xiaoting.
Huang Ling saw Pengfei and Dongzhe coming out and waved her hand: "Okay, everyone is here, let's go!"
Song Ying chased after him and shouted, "Lin Dongzhe! You have to be obedient! Don't run around!"
"I know!" Dongzhe turned around and waved to Song Ying.
At that time, individuals were not allowed to buy cars. This was not allowed until the mid-1980s. At that time, there were very few people with driver's licenses, so they still had to take the bus to go to the countryside.
Visiting the farm was fake, taking them to play in the fields was real.
In the countryside in summer, it is the harvest season. There are golden rice, green trees and wild flowers, and clear streams in the fields.
These things stimulated the children's nature, and even Tunan became lively.
Since they are all from Lijia Village, Huang Ling can let them go out and play without worry.
Pengfei is most familiar with these and shares his experience with everyone.
While others were looking up at the sky, he was digging around in the half-man-high grass. After a while, he had a handful of unknown berries in his hands.
"Xiaoting, come here." Pengfei handed it to Xiaoting first.
"Brother Pengfei, is it poisonous? Can I eat it?" Xiaoting was a little scared.
"Let me try it. If it's poisonous, don't eat it!" Dongzhe picked up two and threw them into his mouth.
Xiaoting stared at him nervously.
He screamed "Ah", held his neck with both hands, and fell into the grass nest, looking painful.
The three of them rolled their eyes at him at the same time.
"I think you must have eaten the red thorn tree, it's so fast." Tuanan also picked up one and ate it.
He said to Xiaoting, "Xiaoting, you can eat them. Pengfei knows these. When I went to Guizhou, I helped him dig herbs in the mountains and brought them to the county town to sell."
"Brother Pengfei is so amazing! He even knows how to recognize medicinal herbs." Xiaoting also picked one to eat. It tasted sour and sweet and quite delicious.
Dongzhe got up and patted the grass on his body: "You have no conscience, what if I really was poisoned!"
"Even if you are really poisoned, we will save you, don't worry!" Pengfei answered him.
Dongzhe looked again and found that all the berries had been eaten by them, with not a single one left for him, so he had to go find more himself.
"Hey, don't do that. You can't just pick it up and eat it if you don't recognize it." Tuanan stopped him.
Dongzhe listens to Tunan the most and is soon attracted to other things.
After getting tired of playing, everyone sat by the stream, took off their shoes and socks and soaked their feet.
The stream water only reaches the ankles, it is icy cold and very comfortable.
After a while, Pengfei started taking Dongzhe to touch the small crabs and shrimps.
Tunan found it interesting and joined in.
Xiaoting sat on a big rock under the shade of a tree to rest.
"Don't get your clothes too wet! We didn't bring any clothes!" she shouted.
"oh!"
"knew!"
"good."
The three responded to her by showing her the things they touched, and she laughed in response.
When I touched the shrimp, I spread it on the stone. When I looked at it again after a while, it had turned into dried shrimp.
There's no way to eat it, so just do it for fun.
"Should have brought a basin."
"Well, bring a basin next time."
They played until Zhang Yongcheng called them to eat from afar, and then everyone went ashore, put on their shoes and went to eat.
Pengfei and Dongzhe ran in the front, followed by Tunan. Xiaoting picked a wild flower from the roadside and walked at the end.
Dongzhe suddenly remembered something and ran towards Xiaoting.
"Zhuang Xiaoting, I wronged you the day before yesterday. Please don't be angry with me, okay? My mom said that anger makes you age quickly." Dongzhe apologized sincerely.
Xiaoting glared at him.
"I have a gift for... for... hey!"
Dongzhe searched and searched through all his pockets but couldn't find the pearl hairpin.
Xiao Ting was even more angry now: "You're just sending me air! I knew it! Lin Dongzhe, how could you be so kind!"
Xiaoting didn't forgive him until school started.
Lin Dongzhe asked Li Yiming to keep an eye out for that style of hairpin when he went to purchase goods again, but he still couldn't find that style of hairpin until school started.
