What happened to your face?
Song Lili and Zhang Qinghua spoke at the same time. Zhang Qinghua was stunned for a moment, while Song Lili covered her face.
Zhang Qinghua was only stunned for a moment before looking at Song Lili and asking, "What are you trying to say?"
Song Lili didn't answer Zhang Qinghua immediately. Instead, she carefully touched her face before saying, "Does it really look scary? Does it look like someone has beaten you up?"
Zhang Qinghua remained silent for a long time before finally saying "Hmm."
Song Lili waved her hand dismissively, "No, I swatted them myself. There were so many mosquitoes last night, and I accidentally swatted them like this."
Zhang Qinghua's face turned completely black at that moment, and his eyes seemed to be filled with ink, so dark that his expression was impossible to see.
Looking at the red mark near Song Lili's nose that was clearly a thumbprint, Zhang Qinghua sneered inwardly. Who would hit themselves with their thumb? Shouldn't it be near the ear?
He knew Song Lili wasn't telling the truth, but seeing her expression and the look in her eyes, he didn't say anything. Instead, he changed the subject, "What do you want to tell me?"
Song Lili hesitated for a moment before finally tentatively asking, "Is your family on good terms with Luo Juan's family?"
She could only take a roundabout approach to achieve her goal. If she told him the contents of his dream, he would probably think she was crazy.
Without thinking, Zhang Qinghua said, "It's not particularly good, just so-so."
Song Lili wondered why Luo Juan harbored such resentment towards him. Song Lili always remembered the venom and ruthlessness in Luo Juan's eyes.
Is it really Luo Juan's fault? Is she psychologically disturbed, which is why she did such a thing?
It doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with it!
Song Lili said "oh" and didn't ask any more questions. The two walked in silence. When they were almost at the field, Song Lili said, "Be careful of Luo Juan in the future. Avoid contact with her if you can."
Song Lili thought she should also remind Yang Mei, and also "Li Qinghua's" friend, to join them, since they all knew each other.
After Song Lili finished speaking, she left. She really didn't dare to look into Zhang Qinghua's eyes, for fear of seeing the look of someone looking at an idiot, and thus missing the sudden glint in Zhang Qinghua's eyes.
Why would she say that? Did she hear some gossip? Or is it that she... is actually bothered by it, which is why she said that?
If Song Lili knew what Zhang Qinghua was thinking, she would definitely say he was overthinking it, since Song Lili still considers him to be her future "grandfather"!
Zhang Qinghua watched Song Lili walk to Yang Mei's side before finding a shady spot to hide the basket on his back.
Today was the same as yesterday. In the morning, Song Lili and Yang Mei and a few others picked up stalks together, but in the afternoon, Zhang Qinghua pulled them away.
However, this time it wasn't just Song Lili alone; Song Fang was also there, and Zhang Qinghua invited her as well.
Song Lili was still as leisurely as she was in the morning. Anyway, there weren't many grains of rice, so even if she was slow, she could still finish the job.
But Song Fang found it strange; there seemed to be very few ears of grain today. Yesterday afternoon, she was bending over to pick up the ears of grain, and she almost fainted from lack of blood circulation.
But seeing her sister's normal complexion, she wondered if it was just that there were fewer tassels today. She didn't pay much attention and slowly followed along.
However, when she turned her head, she saw Zhang Qinghua, who was cutting barley in front of her, squatting on the ground and picking up the fallen barley ears. Song Fang wondered, were they also going to pick up the ears?
When they were heading home after work that evening, Luo Weijia suddenly said, "I see that most people have taken ropes, so let's all carry some barley home today."
The crops planted on the mountain were all carried down by hand, bit by bit.
Many people are unwilling, but after working themselves to the bone all day, they are exhausted and still have to carry more.
But Luo Weijia's usual impression was too deep for everyone, so they could only mutter and complain in their hearts, but could only tie him up.
Zhang Qinghua and Li Qinghua were no exception. Almost every household that was doing the work brought a rope, but each household only had one rope, meaning that one person from each household had to carry it.
The two of them worked together to tie everything up before they went to get the things in the basket.
Song Lili stopped Zhang Qinghua, saying, "You don't need to carry those yourselves. We can help. They're all empty; they're not heavy."
Zhang Qinghua thought about it and agreed. Anyway, the village was right next to them, which was practically their doorstep, so there was no inconvenience.
Yang Mei helped Li Qinghua carry the bags, while Yang Tao and Song Fang carried their own.
Song Lili stared blankly at the distant mountains, lost in thought. This was the place she knew best, because her home was at the foot of the mountains, though it would be her home decades from now.
