The busy and noisy market was bustling with people. Several people who returned with full loads took a short rest at the commune restaurant, ate delicious meat buns, and then walked into the door of the supply and marketing cooperative.
Soon, Mo Yutong's attention was attracted by an ancient and elegant Sanwu brand table clock.
It stands quietly in the container. The yellow wooden clock body is particularly calm and majestic. Under the transparent glass clock cover in the middle, the white clock face is clearly visible, and the black numbers and hands glow faintly in the sun.
"Comrade, I want to buy that table clock." Mo Yutong's clear, pleasant and familiar voice successfully attracted the attention of the salespeople.
They all looked sideways, sizing up the beautifully dressed and elegant young lady.
To be precise, as soon as Mo Yutong and his group walked into the supply and marketing cooperative, both the salespersons and customers couldn't help but look at them a few more times.
After all, they are all dressed more smartly than each other. In this era when you need a ticket to buy everything, which child doesn't pick up his parents' clothes and make them smaller to wear?
But these two children were wearing clothes that fitted them perfectly without any patches, completely different from the other children in the commune.
The sales clerks were no strangers to Mo Yutong, as she had bought a lot of things here yesterday.
Seeing her again today, the sales clerks couldn't help but feel secretly happy, because this little girl's purchasing power is quite amazing!
"Forty yuan and eighty cents for a purchase ticket." The salesperson said happily.
Mo Yutong took out money from her bag, along with a ticket for a Sanwu brand table clock that her sixth brother had sent her, and handed them to the salesperson, happily watching her issue the ticket.
Yan Mingli, who was waiting on the side, saw that the little girl had to wait a while longer, so he quietly walked to the jewelry counter.
He whispered to the salesperson, pulled out two red hairbands, and quickly stuffed them into his trouser pockets, with a little joy in his heart.
He remembered that the little girl mentioned that her favorite thing when she was a child was the red hairband. He wondered if she still liked it after so many years.
After buying a desk clock and daily necessities, Mo Yutong took Yan Mingxue's hand and walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative.
Yan Mingli followed closely behind and stuffed the red hairband in his pocket back inside, fearing that it would fall out while riding a bicycle.
Yan Mingli brought the bicycle out from the side door and tied a cloth bag to the front of the bicycle. Everyone sat in their seats as they did when they came.
Finally I can go home! The numb Yan Mingcheng breathed a sigh of relief.
On the way home, Yan Mingli pedaled particularly hard because there were many uphill roads and he had bought a lot of things.
His butt was almost off the seat, but he still tried hard to keep his balance, for fear that the little girl in the back seat would feel uncomfortable.
Of course, if he could, he would like to half-stand on the pedals and push the wheels until they fly.
When the bicycle finally returned to Yan's yard, the sun was already at its zenith.
The midday sun shines on the compacted yellow mud ground, reflecting dots of pale yellow light.
Yan Mingli parked the car next to the firewood shed, gently took out all the cloth bags and piled them aside.
Yan Mingcheng and Yan Mingxue couldn't wait to put the chicks on the ground.
Seeing his younger brother and sister looking so happy, Yan Mingli did not hesitate and quickly built a simple chicken coop in the corner of the firewood shed with firewood and branches.
His movements were skillful and quick, and soon the chicken coop took shape in his hands.
"Brother, you are so awesome!" Yan Mingxue clapped her hands excitedly upon seeing this.
Mo Yutong also smiled and handed over a wrung towel, saying softly, "Wipe your face and hands."
Yan Mingli took the towel and warmth arrived as promised.
He wiped his brother and sister's hands and faces clean before washing the towels and hanging them up.
Then he walked to the wooden cabinet in the bedroom, took out the two green frogs and handed them to the two children.
Yan Mingcheng took the toy, looked at him seriously, and nodded solemnly.
Yan Mingli looked at him with a meaningful look, and a sense of inexplicable guilt welled up in his heart.
But he still mustered up the courage, looked at Mo Yutong, and said softly: "Yutong, I want to... go in and talk."
Mo Yutong saw the hesitation in his eyes, nodded understandingly, and followed him into the bedroom.
The sunlight filtered through the window paper onto the fine dust. The two of them stood beside the wooden cabinet, neither of them speaking a word.
The little girl waited quietly for the boy, while the boy took a deep breath and nervously stroked the two red hairbands in his pocket.
Finally, the boy mustered up the courage and handed the red hairband to the little girl.
The red hairband sparkles with a faint luster in the sunlight, just like the pious red thread in the hands of Yue Lao that is tied to marriage.
The little girl blinked her beautiful, moist eyes and jokingly asked knowingly, "Why are you giving me this?"
The boy looked at her, his voice trembling with uneasiness and expectation, "This is for you. I hope you like it."
The little girl nodded slightly, a faint smile on her lips, and her voice was filled with shy joy: "I like it, I like it very much."
Her answer was like a spring breeze, blowing away the tension and anxiety in the boy's heart.
He stared at her, his eyes as deep as the sea, as if he wanted to suck her deeply into them.
But he didn't say anything, just stared quietly, as if waiting for something.
The little girl felt a little confused, but suddenly an epiphany came to her and she understood his intentions.
Thinking of the straw hat and the intimate hug in the grove, her eyes sparkled.
It turns out that her boy was asking for a hug in this way!
She threw herself at him without hesitation and hugged his waist tightly, as if she wanted to completely integrate his breath into her life.
The boy hugged her back tightly, his chin gently rubbing against her soft hair, his eyes full of tenderness.
They clung to each other, listening to each other's strong heartbeats, as if at this moment, the whole world only had the two of them.
"Brother Li, I like it very much. I like the red hairband very much, and I like you too." The little girl murmured softly, as if she was lost in a distant time and space.
The boy smiled and lowered his head, gently tying the red hairband at the end of her braid.
She stared at him intently, greedily capturing every subtle expression on his face.
There was a glimmer of happiness in his eyes, as if at this moment, he also felt unprecedented satisfaction.
"Does it look good?" she asked softly, her eyes full of anticipation.
He nodded and replied softly, "It looks good."
However, a hug alone would not be enough for two people who have experienced a deep kiss.
The desire in the boy's eyes struck her heart. She hooked her arms around his neck, stood on tiptoes, and kissed him gently.
The kiss was gentle and slow, like a dragonfly skimming the water, without lingering for long, and it was gone in a flash.
"Perfunctory!" The young man tapped her nose, a glint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
"Then what do you want?" The little girl raised her chin and looked at the boy provocatively, but then stepped back under his glaring eyes.
"I want this." The hot-blooded boy pushed the soft little girl to the wardrobe.
That small area held the boy's former shyness, but now he has become the dominant one.
The young man held the back of the girl's head with his palm and kissed her forcefully with his hot lips.
