Seeing Er Ya's blank and disoriented expression, Liu Jingyu's excited little face immediately wrinkled up.
"Oh, little sister, have you forgotten me? I even gave you a jade pendant!"
Ah, so it's that handsome boy I met on the mountain that day!
Upon hearing that he had also given her a jade pendant, Er Ya immediately began to wonder: Where did I put the jade pendant?
Seeing that Er Ya remembered, Liu Jingyu chuckled again.
"How could you forget me? I've been waiting for you for two days, and you didn't come to see me. Did you come to see me today? Have you eaten yet? Let me treat you to something nice to eat."
"Uh..." Looking at the overly familiar boy in front of her, Er Ya was speechless. Did he have a goldfish's memory? Had he forgotten that she had forgotten who he was? She had completely forgotten him, so how could she have come to find him?
Lin Jianguo looked at Liu Jingyu warily and asked Er Ya, "Do you know him? Where did you meet him? When did you meet him?"
After being asked three questions in a row, Er Ya didn't know which one to answer first.
Liu Jingyu quickly introduced himself: "Uncle, hello, I am this little girl's good friend, my name is Liu Jingyu."
A flock of crows flew past Er Ya, cawing loudly...
Lin Jianguo picked up Er Ya in his arms, afraid that his precious daughter would be deceived by the man in front of him. "We have to go home, it will be difficult to walk after dark."
Upon hearing this, Liu Jingyu hurriedly asked, "Where do you live? My family has a car, let me take you home!"
As he spoke, he urged the driver who was following him to quickly reverse and take Er Ya home.
Er Ya looked at the car's round headlights and streamlined, upright red flag emblem, each feature highlighting its unique characteristics. She resolved to work hard and earn money to buy a car just like it.
Lin Jianguo didn't want to get in the car, but seeing his daughter's eager look, and feeling sorry for her having to walk home, he hesitated for a moment before Liu Jingyu pulled him into the car.
Er Ya looked at the car from this era with curiosity. Goodness, if this were in modern times, it would be worth a lot of money at auction.
After informing the driver where she lived, Er Ya, who had been exhausted all day, wanted to rest for a while, but Liu Jingyu kept asking her all sorts of questions.
"Little sister, you still haven't told me your name last time. What's your name?"
"Do you remember my name? My name is Liu Jingyu. Don't forget it next time."
"I'm going to stay in this town for a few more days. I'll pick you up tomorrow and take you out to play, okay?"
Looking at Liu Jingyu, who was chattering away like a sparrow, Er Ya, annoyed by the noise, shouted, "You talk so much, don't your family find you annoying?"
The car fell silent. Liu Jingyu lowered his head, looking aggrieved. Why was the little sister so fierce? Did she not like him anymore?
Er Ya realized her tone was a bit harsh, so she coaxed Liu Jingyu, saying, "Big brother, I got up very early this morning. I'm tired after a long day and I'm not feeling well. I'm sorry."
Upon hearing this, Liu Jingyu's mood immediately brightened. "It's alright. From now on, I won't say a word. You should get some rest."
Cars are so fast; a journey that takes an hour to walk can be completed in no time by car.
After finishing their work in the fields, the people who were relaxing under the big tree at the village entrance were idling around when one sharp-eyed person spotted a large truck approaching on the main road. Thinking he was seeing things, he exclaimed, "What's that? Why is it going so fast?"
A woman nearby chimed in, "Are you stupid? This is called a car. I saw it once when I visited my daughter in the city, and that's what she calls it."
The thing she was most proud of in her life was raising a good daughter who married into the city, which also improved her status among these women.
When a car arrived in their impoverished little village, the villagers immediately became excited, craning their necks to see which house the car would drive to.
As soon as the car stopped at the home of the impoverished old man Lin in the village, people started gossiping and speculating about what the car was doing there. When did they acquire such a wealthy relative?
At this moment, Niu, who was chatting idly in the crowd, saw the car heading towards her home and quickly ran home.
Old Man Lin was weaving bamboo baskets in the yard, basking in the sun. These baskets could be used to store grain or other things, and they were used up quickly, so he took advantage of his free time to weave a few more.
After writing so much, my eyes were getting tired, and I was just about to give them a rest when I looked up and saw a car parked in front of my house.
Good heavens, who is this? Why is it parked in front of my house? I was about to go over and ask when I saw my second son get out of the car.
He hurriedly grabbed Lin Jianguo, "Second brother, didn't you go to town? Why did you come back by car?"
At this moment, Er Ya also got out of the car and explained to Old Man Lin, "Grandpa, this is my friend. We met him on our way back today, and he gave us a ride back."
Liu Jingyu also introduced himself in a serious manner: "You must be Grandpa Lin. Hello, my name is Liu Jingyu."
At this moment, Niu rushed into the courtyard in a hurry. Before she even arrived, her voice preceded her, "Who's here? Who's here? Our eldest son's family must have a share of what they're taking!"
Upon seeing that the child was only a few years old, he immediately deflated, having thought there was some profit to be made. "Who are you? What are you doing at our house? Have you come to the wrong place?"
Liu Jingyu was a little embarrassed. Although he was still young, his mother taught him that he should not visit other people's homes empty-handed and should be polite. However, he had just met the little girl today and had not prepared anything. He would definitely make up for it next time he came.
"It's getting late, my mom should be looking for me soon, little sister. I'll come play with you again next time. I'm going home now, goodbye."
After Liu Jingyu left, Niu kept pestering Er Ya with questions, but when she couldn't get any information out of her, she gave up. The child was so young, the car definitely didn't belong to them. She wondered where this brat had met all sorts of random people and brought them home.
Then she saw Lin Jianguo carrying a full basket of things, and her eyes lit up. She rummaged through the things and saw the floral fabric inside. She held it up to herself for a while, without thinking that she, who weighed more than 100 pounds, could not possibly fit into the clothes.
When Jiang's mother heard Lin Jianguo say he had bought a piece of cloth for Er Ya to make clothes, she quickly came out to get it. As expected, she saw Niu Shi holding the floral cloth and snatched it from her.
"Sister-in-law, can't you tell these are children's clothes? They're impossible for you to wear!"
Niu Shi looked unconvinced. "If I can't wear it, then there's Daya. Daya's clothes are too small too, so let's change into them for Erya and give this to Daya."
