Song Shiting looked at him with a deep gaze; he was a year older than Zhou Xiangdong.
But at this age, he's already considered an older youth in the village.
Song Shiting said, "Don't get married too late. By then, the children will be too young, and you'll be too old to take care of them."
This statement seems to make some sense, yet it also seems to make no sense at all.
Zhou Xiangdong refused to discuss the topic, hummed twice, and quickly left.
Song Shiting looked at him with a deep gaze.
Ruan Qingling sat at the table and wrote another poem, which she prepared to send out.
Upon seeing Song Shiting return, he asked, "Didn't you say you were going to bring me stamps? Also, you have to give me a few envelopes too."
Song Shiting asked, "You've written so much?"
Ruan Qingling nodded and said, "I haven't gone out these past two days. I've been staying at home with Ya Ya and writing more."
Song Shiting said, "I'll remember to bring it back tomorrow."
There's been a lot going on these past few days, and with Zhou Xiangdong's arrival, things have been put on hold.
Ruan Qingling nodded.
That evening, after finishing her manuscript, Ruan Qingling felt sleepy, climbed into bed, and fell asleep immediately.
When Song Shiting returned after taking a shower, he found the mother and daughter asleep again.
He pursed his lips and lay down on the outermost side.
...
When Song Shiting returned at noon today, he brought back stamps and an envelope for Ruan Qingling as promised.
A dozen or so yellow paper envelopes and a dozen or so stamps.
Ruan Qingling said to Song Shiting, "Thank you."
Her eyebrows slanted upwards, and the corners of her mouth turned up; she was clearly very happy.
Song Shiting watched as she received the stamps as if she had found money, and he didn't know what was so exciting about it.
After finishing her meal, Ruan Qingling put away the stamps and envelopes.
Song Shiting was washing dishes and taking care of his daughter when Yaya fell asleep.
He carried his daughter into the house, put her on the bed, and said, "I'm going back this afternoon to get some things. Do you want to go back?"
Ruan Qingling asked, "Can I bring it?"
Song Shiting said, "I don't need anything else, but I need to bring the fence vehicle. It's okay if I don't bring anything else."
Ruan Qingling nodded.
Actually, there's really nothing good about that dilapidated house.
But should we go back with them?
Ruan Qingling wants it.
At least you can bring some other things.
She asked, "It seems like I won't make it in time by bicycle."
Song Shiting said, "I'll go to my workplace to borrow a car."
"good."
Ruan Qingling thought about it and realized that having a car would indeed be much more convenient.
Ruan Qingling brought Ya Ya some food and a spare pair of pants, and went to the intersection to wait for Song Shiting.
Fan Aihua had just come out of the house when she saw Ruan Qingling and asked, "Sister Ruan, are you going out?"
Ruan Qingling nodded.
Fan Aihua smiled and said, "I was just about to talk to you about something, but since you're going back, I'll wait until you come back to talk to you."
You're going to stop talking after just mentioning a head?
Ruan Qingling asked, "Do you talk a lot?"
Fan Aihua smiled and said, "It can't be explained in just a few words."
Ruan Qingling nodded: "Then let's talk about it when I get back."
Fan Aihua smiled sweetly: "Yes, it's a good thing. I'll tell you more when you get back."
Ruan Qingling had no idea what good news she was going to tell her.
He nodded.
She walked away with the child in her arms.
Fan Aihua stood there watching for quite a while.
Song Shiting took Ruan Qingling and Ya Ya back to Songjia'ao.
Song Meili and her companions, who had just arrived at the village entrance and hadn't yet gone home, were startled when they saw the police car.
People who spend their entire lives toiling in the fields are most afraid of dealing with this kind of person.
Police cars passed by them.
A cloud of dust rose up.
Song Meiling spat and said, "If we had known, we would have waited to come back by oxcart this afternoon."
Wang Guihua didn't want Song Meili to be questioned by people while riding in an oxcart, so she left the health center early this morning.
I hitched a ride on a Dongfeng bus, but when we got to a point four kilometers from Songjia'ao, they turned off to another location.
The mother and her two daughters can only walk.
Song Shiting drove his car to his house.
Even Aunt Liu came out to watch the excitement.
As soon as I came out, I saw Song Shiting getting out of the car.
Aunt Liu was extremely surprised to see Ruan Qingling and her daughter again.
"Shi Ting, it's you guys? I was just wondering why the police car drove here."
Song Shiting nodded slightly.
Ruan Qingling greeted her, "Aunt Liu, how have you been lately?"
Aunt Liu immediately replied, "Yes, yes, everything is fine. I'll take care of your vegetables and rabbits for you."
Without Wang Guihua in the village, no one would come here to steal their chickens.
However, Aunt Liu couldn't keep watching over the chickens and rabbits for Ruan Qingling forever.
Wang Guihua came back from town once in the middle, saying she was going to catch chickens to nourish Song Meili's body.
She didn't agree, after all, Ruan Qingling had entrusted her with taking care of the items.
"You should take these chickens and rabbits with you; it's not safe to leave them here."
Ruan Qingling realized that Wang Guihua had come while they were away, wanting her rabbit and chicken.
She said, "I've caused my aunt trouble during this time."
Aunt Liu always thought that Song Shiting had an extraordinary appearance and would definitely be remarkable in the future.
Besides, Ruan Qingling is much better now than before; she even greets people politely.
Helping them is a good thing.
She said, "No need to be so polite. What brings you here today?"
Ruan Qingling said, "Come and bring Yaya's enclosure stroller."
Aunt Liu said, "This is really necessary. Just let me know if you need my help. I'm going to the vegetable garden now."
Ruan Qingling nodded.
Looking back at the yard, the rabbits and chickens were all well cared for.
Bringing these back to the past and raising them would be a hassle.
Ruan Qingling said to Song Shiting, "We'll take what can be cooked with us, and give what can't be cooked to Aunt Liu so she can take care of it."
Song Shiting nodded.
Seeing that his daughter looked like she wanted to go down to play with the rabbits, he asked, "Should we keep two in the yard to keep Yaya company?"
There are quite a few rabbits.
Ruan Qingling thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's take two little rabbits over there. However, there are no vegetable leaves there, so we'll need to buy some food for the rabbits."
Song Shiting said, "We can still afford to raise two rabbits."
Ruan Qingling felt that raising animals was one thing, but taking care of them was another.
She doesn't want to be a maid, constantly dealing with this or that.
However, judging from her daughter's expression, she really likes it.
She thought about it and then fell silent.
Song Shiting loaded the things he needed into the car.
Ruan Qingling felt that bringing the animals and the fenced vehicle would be enough.
There's nothing else I can bring.
She was waiting for Aunt Liu to come back and give her some little rabbits.
Song Shiting had already packed his things.
Wang Guihua and her two daughters had just stepped into the village when they heard that Song Shiting had returned.
I drove back.
Her anger flared up instantly.
What's the meaning?
Song Shiting is back?
And, did you drive back?
She, as a mother, didn't enjoy anything?
Ignoring her aching foot, she quickened her pace and angrily headed to find Song Shiting.
But Song Meili stopped her.
"Mom, you're getting so worked up right now, you'll regret it later."
As soon as Song Meili entered the village, she was met with strange looks. Now that Wang Guihua was making a big fuss, everyone would be watching her even more closely.
