Zhang Qingguo overheard Song Lili and Zhang Qinghua's conversation and immediately ran out.
Zhang Qinghua said to Zhang Aiai, "Aiai, come with me, let's hurry."
"good"
Without waiting for Daqing, the group went directly to the two families' private plots, where the cabbages were lush and green, growing beautifully, and they were just waiting to harvest them.
This time, Song Lili was also busy. She opened the greenhouse and prepared to work with Zhang Qinghua and his sister.
There's strength in numbers.
Soon, Daqing also arrived and chose to sell these cabbages.
Song Lili felt a little depressed. Didn't these two people ever think that they would make more money in a while?
Aren't you going to consider keeping some?
The group worked together and quickly finished the task: weighing the items, calculating the cost, and then Wang Daming left triumphantly.
Since it was their first time planting, and they didn't have much experience, Zhang Qinghua and Daqing each sold their plants for a little over four yuan.
Although Song Lili felt it wasn't worth it, the two of them were still very happy.
The gains from these forty days are equivalent to a year's income in the past. How could I not be happy?
Daqing grinned and waved the money around. "Lili, I'm buying you something delicious as a thank you."
Song Lili readily agreed, "Okay, I like to eat fruit."
Daqing didn't seem unhappy at all. "Okay, I'll buy it for you when I go to town, but I have to go home now. I need to tell my uncle this good news."
Without paying any attention to Song Lili and Zhang Qinghua, he excitedly rushed home.
Zhang Qinghua seemed speechless for a moment before saying to his younger siblings, "You should go home too. I'll go back in a bit."
He planned to give Song Lili a ride.
When only the two of them were left, Song Lili suddenly felt a little awkward. She remembered the last time they were alone together.
Song Lili shrugged and stammered, "I...I'm going home too, bye-bye..." In her haste, she even uttered some modern rhymes.
A faint smile flickered in Zhang Qinghua's eyes. "I'll give it to you as a thank-you gift I promised you last time."
Song Lili thought, "..." Countless galloping horses seemed to gallop through her mind, causing a sandstorm to fill the sky.
Can we not bring up the embarrassing thing from last time?
Her face turned bright red, and she became uncoordinated, saying in a panic, "No need, I can manage on my own. I... it's still daylight, I'm not scared."
As she spoke, she lost track of what she wanted to say and began to ramble incoherently.
Zhang Qinghua insisted, "I'll see you off; let's walk from behind."
Hongqi Village is laid out in a strip shape, with people living on both sides of the main road and farmland behind the houses.
Because you need to go to the fields, there's a road behind the village that leads to the fields; Zhang Qinghua was referring to road number 9.
After all, he's a grown man, and Lili is almost fourteen; they need to be careful.
Having no other choice, Song Lili could only follow Zhang Qinghua home via the path behind her.
On the way, Zhang Qinghua opened his mouth several times, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Song Lili was constantly on edge, afraid that Zhang Qinghua would bring up the stupid thing she had done before.
Fortunately, he didn't say anything, and she resolutely refused to mention it either. It wasn't until they arrived at their doorstep that she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She said to Zhang Qinghua impatiently, "I've arrived, you should hurry up and go." Otherwise, I'm worried about what you'll say.
Zhang Qinghua didn't say much, just nodded and left, leaving Song Lili feeling a little uneasy.
By the 20th of the twelfth lunar month, Song Lili felt that the remaining dishes were almost ready and that she should go find Wang Daming.
These past few days, she's been washing clothes, bedding, and other things in preparation for the eve of the Lunar New Year and the New Year.
Song Lili thought that she would go to Wang Daming the day after tomorrow, get the money, and then buy some things at the supply and marketing cooperative to celebrate the eve of the Lunar New Year and the New Year.
However, unexpectedly, on the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, a sudden change occurred.
On the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, the daytime was still peaceful, just like any other day.
But when night fell and the people of Hongqi Village were fast asleep, a sudden shout broke the tranquility, throwing the small village into chaos.
"The thief has escaped..."
A loud shout, just three simple words, jolted countless people awake from their sleep.
Soon, lights came on in every household one after another, and hurried shouts and urging voices filled the air.
It was under these circumstances that Song Lili was pulled out of bed by Song Jianshe.
"What are you doing? Why aren't you sleeping in the middle of the night?" Song Lili was abruptly pulled awake, clutching her aching arm and looking at Song Jianshe with displeasure.
Song Jianshe didn't have time to pay attention to Song Lili's little mood. As soon as she woke up, he said, "Lili, hurry up and get dressed with Fangfang. There's a thief! Dada and I are going to pack our things." After saying that, he hurriedly ran out.
Song Lili was still dazed, her mind blank, and she couldn't understand what Song Jianshe was saying.
Running away from thieves? What's that?
What? A thief on the run? Oh my god, this is going to kill me.
Song Lili jumped up from the kang (a heated brick bed), grabbed her clothes and put them on, not forgetting to call out to Song Fang.
"Fangfang, Fangfang, get up and get dressed quickly. Hurry up."
Seeing that Song Fang didn't react, he kicked her directly. In a moment of urgency, he didn't care whether he would hurt Song Fang.
Song Fang was jolted awake by Song Lili's merciless kick. Rubbing her eyes, she cried out in a tearful voice, "Sister..."
"Hurry up and get dressed, a thief has run away!" After saying that, he got out of bed, put on his shoes, and waited downstairs with Song Fang's shoes in hand.
Song Fang was not fully awake yet, and was just mechanically following Song Lili's instructions. She only became a little more awake after she was dressed.
