Lying on the kang, Wen Nuan thought of Wang Jianshe again, thinking that she should thank him for saving her life, but she had never encountered such a thing before and didn't know what to do. After thinking for a while, Wen Nuan touched Xie Sufang next to her and said, "Sister Sufang, I have something to ask you."
"What's the matter?" Xie Sufang was a little confused after being tired for most of the day.
"Today I rolled down the hill again and was saved by Aunt Yang's son who is a soldier. I..."
"What did you say?" Xie Sufang was dazed when she heard Wen Nuan say that she rolled down the hillside. She suddenly got up and said, "You rolled down the hillside again today? Are you injured? Let me take a look!"
As she spoke, Xie Sufang pulled off the clothes on Wen Nuan.
"Sister, sister, I'm fine, I'm fine!" Wen Nuan quickly avoided the somewhat excited Xie Sufang.
"Xiao Nuan, what's wrong with you today?" Lin Yiman and Liu Xiaoling heard the noise coming from Wen Nuan and hurried over.
Seeing that Wen Nuan had no injuries on her body, Xie Sufang let out a long sigh and sat down on the kang, "You naughty girl, you must come with us when we go up the mountain from now on!"
"Oh, sisters, I'm really fine. I just caught a wild goat today, and then I was so happy that I accidentally slid down the hillside. The grass was so thick, I didn't fall at all, and I'm not hurt. Don't worry!" Wen Nuan felt warm in her heart when she saw that several sisters were surrounding her with caring looks on their faces!
"You scared us to death. You didn't tell us when you came back!" Lin Yiman also breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to touch the warm forehead.
Wen Nuan stuck out her tongue, hugged Xie Sufang's arm, and said in a tender voice: "It's nothing at all. If there is something wrong, I will definitely tell you!"
"If something really happens, it will be too late!" Xie Sufang rolled her eyes at Wen Nuan, "Who did you say saved you just now?"
"It was Auntie Yang's son who was in the army. His name was Wang Jianshe. The slope was a bit steep and I couldn't climb up by myself. I wanted to wait for you to find me before climbing up. Auntie Yang's son happened to pass by and he pulled me up. I was thinking, should I thank him?"
"Then we have to thank them!" Xie Sufang nodded, "I still have half a pound of brown sugar here, and you also picked up eight pheasant eggs today, take them too. I'll go find Aunt Wu and see if I can exchange them for a chicken with her. Take them together and we'll go thank them later!"
"Sister, I have brown sugar here, so I don't need yours." How could Wen Nuan use Xie Sufang's things?
"Xiaoling and I are going to change the chicken. You guys clean up first!" Lin Yiman said, and then she pulled Liu Xiaoling off the kang to put on her shoes.
"I'm going to find Zhang Zhiqing, and take the basket of wild chestnuts I picked today," Xie Sufang said, putting on her shoes and getting off the kang. "If I had known, I wouldn't have eaten the pheasant at noon. It's just right to take it now. Xiao Nuan, you'd better not go catching pheasants and rabbits by yourself in the future. It's too dangerous!"
Wen Nuan also got off the bed and put on her shoes, "Sister, I was really careless today. I was too excited. I will definitely pay attention next time!"
Wen Nuan could only say that she accidentally fell down the hillside and didn't dare to say that she was chased by a wild goat. If she said that, she probably would never be able to go up the mountain again!
Xie Sufang came to the male educated youth's room, knocked on the door, called Zhang Zhiqing out, and then told him about the matter.
"I'll ask Wang Hongjun to pack a basket of wild chestnuts, and the money we'll use to exchange for the hens will be shared equally by the rest of us and given to Wen Zhiqing. Wen Zhiqing suffered this hardship for everyone, and you can't be the only one to bear it!" After Zhang Hongliang finished speaking, he went back to the house and told everyone else about what happened. Everyone agreed with what Zhang Hongliang said.
"Wen Zhiqing, you must be careful when you go up the mountain next time. It doesn't matter if we eat less meat. Your safety is the most important!" Zhang Hongliang came out of the house and said to Wen Nuan seriously.
"That's right. Try not to go up the mountain alone in the future. Just call any one of us and we can go with you!" Yang Zhijun also came out and said.
After hearing what Yang Zhijun said, Xie Sufang looked at him in surprise.
"What are you looking at? You are the only ones allowed to treat Wen Zhiqing as your sister, but I am not allowed to?" Yang Zhijun rolled his eyes to the sky. In fact, ever since Wen Nuan came back with meat from the Zhiqing's camp from time to time, Yang Zhijun's attitude towards Wen Nuan and even Xie Sufang and others began to change slowly.
After hearing what Yang Zhijun said, Xie Sufang and Zhang Hongliang looked at each other and smiled, and said nothing more.
After a while, Lin Yiman and Liu Xiaoling came back with the hens.
"Lin Zhiqing, how much did this chicken cost? Let's share the cost!" Zhang Hongliang went straight to Lin Yiman and the other person and said as soon as he saw them coming back.
Lin Yiman didn't say anything. She looked at Xie Sufang first, and when she nodded, she replied, "It cost 3.5 yuan!"
"Okay, after dinner tonight, we'll give you the money!"
Wen Nuan took out the brown sugar, and Xie Sufang also took out the pheasant eggs and put them in a small basket. Yang Zhijun carried the backpack, and Zhang Hongliang found a cloth bag to put the chicken in.
Xie Sufang, Zhang Hongliang and Yang Zhijun accompanied Wen Nuan to express their gratitude!
Looking at the resolute and efficient brothers and sisters, my eyes felt warm and sore. For twenty-three years in my previous life, I had to solve everything by myself. Although my life is relatively difficult in this life, I am lucky to have so many kind-hearted people around me.
Wen Nuan obediently followed her brothers and sisters towards Aunt Yang.
"Auntie Yang, Auntie Yang, are you home?"
"Who is it?" Aunt Yang came out of the kitchen and looked outside the courtyard wall. "Xie Zhiqing, what are you doing?"
Xie Sufang took a few quick steps forward and took hold of Aunt Yang's arm, "Aunt Yang, we are here to express our gratitude!"
"Thank you? What are you thanking me for?" Aunt Yang looked at the educated youths with a confused look on her face.
"Mom, what's going on?" Wang Jianshe heard the noise at the door and walked out of the main room. He saw several people surrounding his mother and thought something was wrong, so he hurried forward and asked, "What's going on? What's going on?"
"This must be Comrade Wang!" Xie Sufang turned around and saw a man in military green clothes walking quickly out of the main room, and she immediately realized that this was her warm savior.
When Wang Jianshe walked up to the group of people, he noticed the little girl who was blocked and he roughly understood what was going on.
Wen Nuan gave Wang Jianshe a soft smile, and Wang Jianshe's heart softened, with the corners of his mouth unconsciously rising slightly.
"We are here to thank Comrade Wang. He saved our little sister Wen Nuanwen on the mountain today, so we took the liberty to come to his house," Zhang Hongliang explained when he saw Wang Jianshe coming out.
"Oh, this kid came back and said nothing," Aunt Yang grinned when she heard that he came to thank her son.
"Mom, let everyone in first," Wang Jianshe couldn't help laughing as he looked at the little girl who stole glances at him from time to time.
"Yes, yes, come in, come in!" Aunt Yang quickly led everyone into the main room. Wang Jianshe had already gone to pour water.
Several people put the things on the table in the main hall. Xie Sufang pulled Wen Nuan forward and said, "This girl went up the mountain today and accidentally rolled to the bottom of the slope again. If Comrade Wang hadn't happened to pass by and pulled her up, she might still be crying now!"
After hearing what Xie Sufang said, Wen Nuan's mouth twitched slightly. There was no need to describe herself in such a miserable way...
