Song Taomei had returned a long time ago, but it was winter and no one went out, so there were few people around. Liu Xiaoxi and Song Taomei liked to sleep in bed every day.
Goudan's family came today, and they all brought things with them.
Goudan was holding two big rabbits in his arms. He had grown taller and looked more manly.
Goudan's mother brought some bacon and dried fish that she had made.
Goudan's father was holding a basket full of eggs.
This is what they consider to be the most precious thing, a gift to repay Su Xinmi for saving Goudan's life.
How could Su Xinmu dare to accept their food? These were the things they normally wouldn't eat. "Auntie, you're really being too distant with me. I would have saved anyone if it was them."
Goudan's mother stuffed the things into Su Xin's arms, "Su Zhiqing, please don't be so formal with us. These things are not worth much. You are seriously injured, we should come to express our gratitude."
"Really, if it weren't for you, I don't know what I would do."
Goudan was the only child in their family, so they didn't dare to have more children, as it would definitely put the family in a bad situation. She was injured when she gave birth to Goudan, so it was difficult for her to have another child.
Fortunately, Goudan was sensible and obedient, and their family lived better and better, much better than other families in the village.
In the end, Su Xinmao couldn't persuade them anymore and asked them to stay for dinner. Of course, they refused, so Su Xinmao changed her excuse and said that she was injured and it was inconvenient for her to cook, so she asked them to help and fetch water.
Goudan jumped up and down very quickly. He had really grown a lot taller and seemed more stable. "Sister Su, the village chief asked you to continue to help us cut pig grass."
"I'm so glad we can be together again. This time you can be lazy as much as you want while I help you finish the work. I'm really good at work now."
Su Xinmi touched his head and felt that she would have to tiptoe to touch his head soon.
But she didn't worry, because Goudan wouldn't let her touch him when he grew up, as he would be a little adult now.
The meal was ready soon, and Su Xinwei had to force them to stay. She felt that if she continued to eat like this, she would really get fat.
The radio sounded and everyone started working again.
Jiang Yinqiu is still a broadcaster. She is now very good at broadcasting and can even make a few jokes with everyone.
Su Xinmu was also quite leisurely, and was cutting pigweed with Goudan and the others. Goudan was very depressed, as he knew he could cut pigweed very quickly, so why was Sister Su as fast as him now? Every time he wanted to help her, she had already finished the job by herself.
Su Xinmi would never tell him that she did it on purpose because she saw that Goudan was at the stage of growing taller, so she was reluctant to bend his back. Don't blame her if he doesn't grow taller.
In fact, she has now adapted to life in the countryside and is doing quite well.
During this time, she visited her grandparents and gave them the wolf skin.
The old couple was shocked and asked her where she got it. Su Xinmi could only lie and say that she bought it from a villager.
Grandpa and grandma are in good health now, and she can hear their laughter every time Su Xinmi sneaks in.
The villagers did not blame them for the death of the cow last time. Grandma said that a rescue team had guaranteed them. Su Xinmi found out that it was Jiang Qiandu.
And she has not contacted Jiang Qiandu. Her mind is now basically on her family and studies.
By the way, there was also selling of goods. During the Chinese New Year period, Xue Hao was very brave and went door to door with a carrying pole on his shoulder to ask if anyone wanted any goods.
He also said that he was almost caught once, but luckily he had trained himself and could run fast. When he talked about this incident, he did not show any fear at all and even laughed a little silly.
Su Xinmi knew he was a good partner.
She often sends things to her parents, and now they can also send letters and chat. Her parents say that they are not so strict with them now, and they are living well and have gotten used to country life just like her.
This way Su Xinmu felt relieved about them.
As for her brother, Su Xinmu provided him with a lot of information. Sometimes Su Xiangchen would ask her how she knew so much, and Su Xinmu would just say mysteriously that someone told her.
Of course, that person was Huang Shuwen, whom she had captured personally.
When he did well, Su Xinmo would even send him some of the pork jerky she made. In order to successfully persuade him to defect, he had to get closer to him.
The information Huang Shuwen provided her was not much, but it was still useful. At least it let Su Xinmu know that it was not just one family that wanted to bring down their Su family, but also several other families who were involved.
For example, the Huang family has always been helping the Qi family. She doesn't know the people in this family at all, but that doesn't stop her from putting them on her blacklist now.
Did the Qi family also come here to snatch the life-saving medicine, or did they just watch the other families suppress the Su family as a matter of course?
Their Su family is a small family, but if others don't want them to have an easy life, then Su Xinmi will find them out one by one and won't let them have an easy life either!
Time flies indeed, and it is summer again soon. She still remembers that it was summer when she first came here.
Ji Wei has finished reading the textbook, but Su Xinmi is a little nervous because the college entrance examination is getting closer and closer, with only a few months left.
Some small things still happened in the village. Liu Xiaoxi had become skinny, but Su Xinmu didn't care about her at all. She had hurt her cousin so badly in her previous life, so she would not let her cousin have any mishap in this life.
Lin Qiu Shuang is basically reading books now. Su Xinmi doesn't know what kind of family they are, but she guesses that Lin Qiu Shuang knows something about it.
But she must have some financial resources, because she remembered that everyone heard the news around September, and it was officially launched in October, and now it is only mid-July.
Gu Chuyun was also reading a book, and both of them were reading very seriously. Jiang Yinqiu and Su Xinmo seemed quite happy when they were talking about it.
"Mi Mi, what you said might be true. Even Gu Chuyun is reading a book right now. He reads a book right after work."
Su Xinmu patted her head and said, "Isn't it? I told you it was true, but you didn't believe it before. Even if you didn't believe it, you still followed me to learn for so long."
Jiang Yinqiu rubbed his head, "Well, I just thought it would be boring for you to study alone, so I accompanied you. Later, I thought it wouldn't be a bad thing to learn more, and then I really wanted to follow in your footsteps."
"It's not that I don't believe it, I just don't know how long it will take. It feels a bit unbearable."
Yes, once we know something that can change our destiny, we all become nervous and afraid that it is fake. We wonder when it will come and whether it will come.
Su Xinmo handed the study materials to Jiang Yinqiu, "Time is running out now, you still need to study more on Chinese. You forget easily and your reading speed is not very fast. Be careful not to fail to finish the questions."
"Take it home and read it now. Remember to read it before going to bed every day. It's okay. Lin Qiu Shuang and the others are reading it. We don't need to hide it, but we should be more low-key."
"Just say you see they are watching too, so you watch too."
"Be careful with your words. You don't have as much time as I do. Make good use of your time to study. We will soon be able to make it."
Jiang Yinqiu often felt his blood boiling when listening to the novels, and he couldn't wait to pick up the book and start reading it.
