"Hmph, who are you trying to fool with that sour face? What kind of look was that just now? Disdain? I'm the one who disdains you. If you weren't my future grandfather, I would definitely teach you a lesson..." As he spoke, he even waved his fist menacingly.
After finally getting a break and a meal, Song Lili was so hungry and tired that she had no energy left and felt completely limp.
She plopped down in the shade and didn't want to move. Her eyelids drooped, and she looked half asleep, drowsy and listless.
Zhang Qinghua and the others also came over and sat down next to Song Lili. Zhang Qinghua was holding the baskets that Song Lili and her sister carried on their backs.
Song Fang was a little worried. She opened and closed her mouth several times before asking, "Sister, are you feeling unwell? Do you want to go home?"
Song Lili waved weakly, "It's nothing, I'm just a little hungry... and tired too..."
However, this cannot be told to these individuals, otherwise it would arouse suspicion.
Grandma often tells her stories from the past, which are the topics of their late-night talks. She is more wary of this place than ever before.
Hearing Song Fang's words, he instinctively refused. It was harvest time, and almost everyone who could move had to go to the fields, otherwise no one would know what might happen.
This year is the only bumper harvest in recent years, so everyone is paying more attention to it. If there is even the slightest mistake, they will all attack her. Even if she is tired, as long as she can stand, she cannot leave.
Song Fang was too young to think that far ahead, but Zhang Qinghua and the other slightly older children understood Song Lili's thoughts, and no one advised her to go home and rest.
Eating the wild vegetable pancakes that were hard to swallow, even though Song Lili felt the stinging sensation in her throat every day, she still couldn't get used to it.
But if she didn't eat, she would starve to death. Between life and death, she chose to live, so she could only frown and eat bite by bite, which was then rinsed down with water.
With a baby in her belly, Song Lili felt less uncomfortable, and her curiosity about "Li Qinghua" resurfaced.
She glanced at Zhang Qinghua, whose face was expressionless, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Have you all gone to school?" Asking one person seemed too obvious.
Li Qinghua seemed quite surprised that Song Lili would ask such a question; the surprise in his eyes was undisguised and clear to everyone.
He exclaimed in surprise, "Song Lili, don't you know? Qinghua and I were both high school students, but we stopped going to school because we were starving."
Song Lili silently thought to herself, "I know, Grandma told me everything."
When Song Lili first found out, she was incredibly surprised. She never imagined that her grandfather was a cultured man at that time. It was truly unexpected and unbelievable.
However, did the original owner, Song Lili, know that she really had no memory of it? She scratched her head, looking embarrassed.
“I used to work in the Fifth Brigade, and I didn’t go out much, so…” The rest of the sentence was self-evident.
Li Qinghua nodded knowingly. "Is that so? That makes sense. You weren't as outgoing as you are now before, but I think it's fine the way you are now..."
This was also Song Jianshe and Song Yongren's idea; otherwise, they would have taken Song Lili to see a doctor for a checkup long ago.
Yang Mei laughed and said, "That's right, it's good this way. She's lively and spirited, much better than when she was in school. Back then, I thought we were neighbors and could walk together."
"How could I have known you weren't very talkative, and you didn't really respond when I asked you questions?" She said, a little embarrassed, "So I went to school with other people."
Song Lili was surprised. The original owner of this body had also gone to school? What kind of school? Elementary school? Middle school? But judging from the age, it should have been elementary school, right?
Song Lili thought to herself, but couldn't say anything. She could only keep her questions to herself and see if she could get some information from her family.
Having been here for several months, she had never imagined that the original owner of this body had actually gone to school. Since she herself was literate, she naturally didn't care.
Now that she's talking about it, Song Lili suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and her heart skipped a beat. This... she needs to make a good plan.
Suppressing her fear, she took a few deep breaths, looking at Yang Mei's smile, which was noticeably brighter than usual, and pondered deeply.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up and her gaze fell on Zhang Qinghua.
Since Grandpa is a high school student, it shouldn't be a problem for him to teach her to read, right? This way, it can create opportunities for both of them, killing two birds with one stone!
Her face was glowing, and she looked like she was about to fly away. "Qinghua, why don't you teach me to read? I've forgotten everything I learned before, and I want to learn..." She was mainly afraid of being discovered.
That way, even if others find out, they will have a legitimate reason to act and won't have to worry about being suspected.
Zhang Qinghua was surprised. He looked at Song Lili's bright, rosy face and remained silent for a long time.
Yang Mei spoke up, saying, "That's good. I want to learn too. Why don't you teach us?" As for her purpose, it was obviously to be on par with someone and spend more time together.
Yang Mei spoke up, and Li Qinghua also thought to speak, "I think it's a good idea too. It's never a bad thing to know a few more words. Why don't the four of you all play together from now on?"
He really wanted it to be just him and Meimei, and everyone else could go as far away as possible, but... that wouldn't work!
There are many people around, which is safer. It would be bad for Meimei if the two of them were seen by others. He couldn't let Meimei get hurt.
Zhang Qinghua didn't speak, but his heart was pounding fiercely, as if urging him to agree quickly.
Pressing his lips together, Zhang Qinghua stubbornly resisted his inner turmoil, but finally couldn't help but nod and say, "Okay."
Song Lili was overjoyed. She never expected that "Li Qinghua," who seemed unapproachable, would be so easy to talk to! It seems she had misunderstood him before!
