After breakfast, Yan Mingli cleaned up the dishes and went into the kitchen. Mo Yutong then breathed a sigh of relief.
She secretly glanced at Yan Mingcheng and saw that the faint scratch on his cheek was still there, and she couldn't help feeling distressed.
"Sister, I've applied the medicine and it will be healed soon. I don't feel any pain." Yan Mingcheng felt her gaze and said hurriedly.
"Well, our Chengcheng is the bravest!" Mo Yutong gently rubbed his hair.
"Sister, I am brave too!" Yan Mingxue quickly grabbed her hand. She also wanted her sister to touch her head.
"Xue'er is great too!" Who could refuse such a cute little girl? Mo Yutong stroked her hair as she wished.
When Yan Mingli returned to the yard, he saw the three of them having fun together.
He walked into the bedroom with a smile, took out the big unity note from the hole in the wall with joy, folded it carefully and put it in his trouser pocket.
Then he picked up the shoulder bag and kettle from the wooden cabinet and prepared to go out.
After pushing the bicycle out of the yard and closing and locking the door, Yan Mingxue held the handlebars with both hands, while Yan Mingcheng sat on the crossbar with her.
Under the boy's gentle gaze, Mo Yutong sat steadily in the back seat with her shoulder bag.
In the gentle breeze of the early morning, with spots of sunlight falling behind him, the young man riding the bicycle looked relaxed and happy.
The little girl sitting behind him took advantage of the bicycle going up the slope and finally hugged the boy's strong waist, feeling the exclusive warmth and sense of security.
The young man, who had been looking forward to this for a long time, raised the corners of his mouth for a moment, pedaled harder, and his agile figure seemed to be flying.
Soon, the members on the road heard a series of cheerful car bells approaching rapidly from a distance.
Then, what came into view was a pleasant-looking young man with a dazzling smile on his face. His handsome face made people's eyes brighten.
The members couldn't help but stand on tiptoe, wanting to take a few more glances at the people in the car.
However, the boy's figure had quickly rushed into the shade of the trees, leaving only a white back, gradually walking away in the morning light.
"This Yan family kid and Mo Zhiqing really look more and more compatible!"
"This Mo Zhiqing really likes the Yan family kid."
"That's right. I protected her very closely last night."
"If it weren't for Mo Zhiqing...tsk tsk..."
"That's a powerful talker!"
"My husband came back and said he didn't understand a word I said, but that's how amazing it was!"
"Hahahaha~ My man didn't understand it either!"
"My husband only half understood what I said, and in the end he just told me to stop messing with Mo Zhiqing. You said I'm an old woman, why would I mess with a little girl like her?"
"My husband also said that Mo Zhiqing is a cadre at the meat processing plant."
"The Yan family kid has finally come to a happy ending after all the hardships!"
"Shh...you're not afraid..."
"Let's go, let's go. If we don't move faster, the gathering will be dispersed."
………………
While the members were excitedly bragging and hurriedly rushing to the market, Yan Mingli had already stopped in front of the commune's supply and marketing cooperative on his bicycle.
"We're here!" Yan Mingli turned his head, smiled faintly at the excited little girl behind him, and said softly.
"Huh?" Mo Yutong was a little confused. So, we're here. What does he mean by this?
Seeing her bewildered face, Yan Mingli could not help but look down at her helplessly and said softly, "You can let go of your hand now."
Mo Yutong chuckled when he heard that, and immediately let go of her hand. Then he jumped off the bicycle and muttered softly, "I haven't hugged you enough yet!"
Seeing that everyone's eyes were glancing at them intentionally or unintentionally, Yan Mingli carefully kept a safe distance from the little girl.
But he couldn't help but slowly move to her side, looked at her with a smile, and said: "When we get home, I'll let you hug me as much as you want."
"Humph! I don't want you! I won't hug you!" Catching the smug look that flashed across his eyes, Mo Yutong pouted in dissatisfaction and pretended to be angry, "Stop laughing!"
Yan Mingli stared at her, the smile in his eyes becoming more and more obvious, and he said obediently: "Okay, listen to Sister Yutong and don't laugh."
At this moment, his eyes were filled with pampering and tenderness, making Mo Yutong turn her head away embarrassedly and avoid his gaze.
Seeing her blushing face, Yan Mingli stopped teasing her and quickly carried the two children off the bicycle.
"I'll go store my bicycle first. Please wait for me for a moment." After Yan Mingli said this, he pushed his bicycle towards the side door of the supply and marketing cooperative.
To store your bicycle at a supply and marketing cooperative, you need to pay the staff a storage fee of three cents each time before you can lock the bicycle in the designated area.
There were not many people in the commune who owned bicycles, and even fewer who could ride them to the market.
Therefore, there are only a dozen bicycles parked scattered throughout the storage area.
When Yan Mingli locked the car and turned back to the front door of the supply and marketing cooperative, Mo Yutong and the other two were talking about something, and Yan Mingxue's cheerful laughter kept echoing in his ears.
"Let's go!" Yan Mingli walked forward and held Yan Mingcheng's hand, while Mo Yutong also held Yan Mingxue tightly.
The four of them walked into the long street behind the supply and marketing cooperative together.
The market in Tongzi Commune, especially the big market held on the ninth day of every lunar month, is a bit more noisy and lively than the small markets held on the third and sixth days of every lunar month.
After all, the commune had specially given half a day off, so the members naturally had to seize this opportunity to come and exchange or buy items needed for their homes in the next month.
Walking on the street, you can see clean roads without any garbage, and there are a variety of stalls on both sides of the road.
Most of the members were wearing patched clothes, holding wicker baskets or coarse cloth bags, and kept looking at the stalls on both sides.
