After saying goodbye to Song Yun, Song Jianmin decided to go home, as the road home would pass by the Fourth Military Hospital.
Song Jianmin never expected to run into Yu Fang again.
This time, Yu Fang had injuries on her face, and there was blood on her forehead.
"Song Jianmin? It's you again, what a coincidence." Yu Fang gave Song Jianmin a sincere smile.
Song Jianmin looked surprised and asked, "What happened to your face?"
Yu Fang sighed, "She tripped and fell, it's nothing serious."
Song Jianmin: You should go to the clinic.
Yu Fang looked troubled. "Never mind, let it heal on its own. No need to go to the clinic."
Song Jianmin said that wouldn't do, and then took Yu Fang to a nearby clinic where the doctor applied medicine to her.
Yu Fang: "Song Jianmin, thank you, you are such a good person."
Just as Song Jianmin was about to speak, Yu Fang added:
"You are the first friend I ever made."
Song Jianmin waved his hand and joked, "It's nothing, just doing a good deed, don't take it to heart."
Song Jianmin also found it unbelievable that he would bring a woman to the clinic for treatment one day!
The doctor quickly bandaged Yu Fang's wound.
Song Jianmin gave her the money and then took Yu Fang out for noodles. He casually asked, "By the way, are you still killing chickens tonight?"
Yu Fang nodded, "Go ahead and kill them. I'm the fastest in the market, even the boss isn't as quick as me."
Song Jianmin didn't know what to say, but he felt that this girl had a tough life. Even someone as tough as Song Rongrong had never killed a chicken.
Song Jianmin took two yuan out of his pocket.
"Um... I don't have much money either. Your wound will need dressing changes later, so please keep it."
Yu Fang lowered her head, looking at the money on the table. After a long while, she repeated herself.
"Thank you, Song Jianmin, you are such a good person."
"I will pay you back later."
Song Jianmin touched his nose, feeling embarrassed after being praised twice.
"No, no, no, you don't need to pay me back."
"Let's go, I'll take you home."
Yu Fang accepted the money and led Song Jianmin to the alley entrance.
This time, Song Jianmin saw Xiong Jing again.
"Damn it, it's that idiot again. The whole family is crazy."
Yu Fang followed his gaze, recognized Xiong Jing, and asked with narrowed eyes, "You hate her?"
Song Jianmin frowned and briefly explained the matter of Xiong Jing and Zhuang Pinghua.
"I hate them, they're such a lazy couple, they don't even do anything right. Everyone hates them, right? Alright, you can go in now, I'm going back too."
Yu Fang nodded, and only went inside after Song Jianmin had walked away.
This time, Jin Xiaowen glanced left and right before pouring water, and when she saw that dead-faced man approaching, she stopped pouring the water and quickly retreated back into the house. She closed the door, looked out through the peephole, and only poured water after Yu Fang had walked away.
The original plan was to invite Song's grandparents, Song Zhicheng's family, and Song Yun and her daughter to dinner this week. However, Song Zhicheng's wife, Lu Hui, had to go to her parents' house to help with farm work this week, so the dinner had to be postponed to next week.
Chen Zhou also became familiar with life in Heping Lane. Old Sun often brought Chen Zhou fruits and vegetables, and Xu Guiying would occasionally invite Chen Zhou to the Song family for meals.
It's quite pitiful for a young girl to be out there all alone.
Song Jianmin and Yu Fang also became acquainted. He often ran into Yu Fang on his way home from get off work. Coincidentally, Yu Fang said that she was going to the market to kill a chicken and that she was going the same way as Song Jianmin on her way home.
The two had eaten noodles together a few times, and within two days, Yu Fang returned the two yuan to Song Jianmin.
This time, however, Song Jianmin and his companion unexpectedly ran into Xu Guiying and Qian Yu'an while eating noodles.
Song Jianmin swallowed hard and called out, "Mom."
Xu Guiying squinted at the fifth brother, then glanced at the woman next to him.
Yu Fang grinned at Xu Guiying.
Now that the weather is warming up, Yu Fang has taken off her heavy coat and is wearing all black, which makes her look even thinner.
Xu Guiying's heart skipped a beat. She pursed her lips and asked, "Fifth Brother, is this your friend?"
Song Jianmin quickly introduced Yu Fang's identity, "Mom, she's the one I gave a ride to when I went to the furniture factory last time. She sprained her ankle on the roadside.
Yu Fang called her "Auntie".
Xu Guiying suppressed her unease and smiled, "Sit down and eat with me."
Qian Yu'an moved his stool closer to Xu Guiying.
Yu Fang sat next to Qian Yu'an.
Qian Yu'an glanced at the person beside her, and suddenly met Yu Fang's smiling eyes.
"Mom, who is this?"
Song Jianmin had never met Qian Yu'an before.
Xu Guiying pursed her lips. "It's none of your business as Mom knows these people."
Qian Yu'an smiled and said, "Hello, my name is Qian Yu'an."
Ever since Xu Guiying cooked that meal for Qian Yu'an at her home, Qian Yu'an's condition has improved a lot. She has regained some of her energy and is no longer as haggard and thin as before.
Xu Guiying glanced at Yu Fang casually, "Girl, this noodle shop is pretty good. Why don't you order some beef noodles later? It's their signature dish."
Song Jianmin didn't take it seriously, saying, "Mom, we've eaten here several times already."
Xu Guiying's eyes flashed coldly at the fifth brother.
"Yes, they're eating so heartily that they don't even go home to cook."
Fifth child: "Mom!"
On several occasions when Song Jianmin came home half an hour late, he would rush to cook, but the food was not as good as before.
"Miss, do you live around here?"
Yu Fang stared at the expression on Xu Guiying's face, nodded, and said, "It's near the Fourth Military Hospital."
What do you usually do?
"Slaughtering chickens in the market."
Xu Guiying looked surprised. "You're not that old, but you dare to kill a chicken. You're really amazing."
