Just then, Aunt Tian's door opened, and Ming Xiangru's words were heard: "Xiangru, don't worry, I still have some medicine left over from Congcong last time, it will be of some use. You can take it for emergency use, the child has a fever and we can't delay."
After saying that, Aunt Tian hurriedly handed the medicine to Ming Xiangru. Ming Xiangru took the medicine but didn't have time to thank her before turning around and rushing into the rain.
Aunt Tian watched the man's retreating figure, still feeling uneasy: "Xiao Bu, keep an eye on Congcong for me, don't let him run out, I'm going to check on him."
Bu Ling nodded, "Don't worry, Aunt Tian."
When Aunt Tian heard that Bu Ling had agreed, she went back into the house to get a raincoat, put it on, and ran to the backyard. Bu Ling thought for a moment, closed her own door, and went to Aunt Tian's house.
Because of the rain, the school was worried about the children's safety and gave them a holiday. At this time, little Chen Cong was sitting in the house reading a comic book. That's right, it was the comic book that Buling rented out.
Hearing the noise, she looked up and saw it was Bling. She greeted her sweetly, "Sister Bling."
Bling patted his head: "Good boy, keep watching."
Chen Cong hummed in agreement and continued to immerse himself in Monkey King's world.
Buling waited in Aunt Tian's house until almost dark before Aunt Tian returned. Hearing the door open, Buling quickly went to greet her: "Aunt Tian, how is it? Are Ansong and Anbo alright?"
Aunt Tian closed the door before answering, "The fever has subsided for now."
"That's good." Bling breathed a sigh of relief: "How could you suddenly have a fever? Did you get caught in the rain?"
No way, Ming Xiangru is very careful when it comes to watching the children, how could she let them get wet in the rain?
Speaking of this, Aunt Tian had something to say. She sat down and slapped her thigh: "It's all because of Xiang Ru's brother-in-law. He bullied the two children while she was cooking and threw their schoolbags outside."
"The two children were picking up their schoolbags in the rain when that unscrupulous brother-in-law took advantage of the situation to come to the door and not let them in. They got soaked in the rain and then blown by the wind, so of course they got sick. It's all thanks to Xiang Ru for discovering it in time, otherwise the two children would have gotten much sicker."
Aunt Tian sighed and felt a little scared, clearly thinking about what Chen Cong had done before.
"Huh? Why? Why did Qi Yuyang do this?" Bu Ling was puzzled. Why would he be so malicious towards the two children?
Hearing Bu Ling's question, Aunt Tian said angrily, "Just because An Song and An Bo ate an egg at noon and he didn't, this little brat has such a cruel heart. He's a beast!"
Buling nodded in agreement. He was thirteen years old, not a child anymore. To treat his own nephew like this over an egg showed he was no good.
Aunt Tian continued, "Both of Qi's children are no good. Take Qi Yuhuai, for example. I've seen her with men more than once, acting intimately, and each time it wasn't just one man." She pursed her lips, clearly looking down on the two of them.
Finally, he sighed, "Qi Gong was such a good person. He was always polite to everyone in the factory. Whenever people asked him questions, he would answer them kindly. How could he have such a son and daughter?"
“Maybe you learn from the people you follow?” Bu Ling said hesitantly, “Aren’t Qi Yusheng and Qi Yudi both quite good? Their children are also very polite.”
Aunt Tian gave Bu Ling an approving look, "You're right. In my opinion, he was corrupted by Qi Gong's wife."
The two chatted about gossip for a while, and then Buling went back. It was getting late, and she figured Sangshen would be back soon.
As soon as you speak of the devil, he appears. Just as Bu Ling opened the door to her house, Sang Shen entered the yard: "Ling Ling, you went out?"
Bu Ling turned around and saw the disapproval in his eyes. "No, we just went to Aunt Tian's house for a while. It's raining, so come in quickly and don't get wet outside."
Seeing that Bu Ling was still dry, Sang Shen didn't say much, parked her bicycle in the shed, and went inside.
Inside the house, Bu Ling served him a bowl of ginger soup: "Here, drink it."
Mulberry's face immediately fell: "Can I not drink it?"
Bling smiled without saying a word
Mulberry pursed his lips, took the drink, and drank it all in one gulp. Although he was not very willing, he knew that Buling cared about him.
After watching him finish drinking, Bu Ling nodded in satisfaction. That's how it should be, making him ride his bike back and forth in the rain every day.
Every time Bling mentioned it to Sangshen, Sangshen would act spoiled. If he couldn't get away with it, he would kiss her until Bling was dizzy. Then the matter would be dropped. Bling could only come up with this method to prevent it from happening to him. It was better than nothing.
"What are we having for dinner tonight?" Sangshen put down her bowl, wiped her mouth, and looked at Buling.
Buling thought for a moment and said, "Let's make potato pancakes." They have nothing but potatoes now, and she can't take out the things from her space. If the rain doesn't stop, they'll only be able to eat plain rice from now on.
Sang Shen had obviously thought of the current situation as well: "Okay, let's make do tonight. I'll go see Xie Dong tomorrow."
"The black market is still open at this hour?" Bling asked curiously.
Sangshen glanced at her sideways: "You don't understand, do you? There are more people buying and selling things at times like this."
Buling also realized the key point: "They're really risking their lives for money." Although no one will catch them when it rains, it's still not worth it.
Sangshen didn't say anything, thinking to herself that this was nothing, but she didn't explain anything either.
After resting for a while, Sangshen took out a few potatoes and asked, "Wheat flour or cornmeal?"
"It's a mix of both," Bling replied after a moment's thought.
"I'll listen to you."
Under the warm yellow light, the two of them, one peeling and the other slicing, moved in perfect harmony.
