Yuanbao said it with such confidence that Feng Guizhi agreed with a smile. Two days later, Yuanbao really came back as a class leader.
However, Yuanbao was obviously not as happy as imagined, and kept his head down the whole way.
"Grandma, Yuanbao has become a class cadre." Wenjie and Wenzhi ran to tell Feng Guizhi the news in a teasing tone as soon as they entered the house. "Oh, he really became one?" Feng Guizhi turned her head to look at Yuanbao and saw a frustrated expression on his little face.
She knew Yuanbao didn't like studying, so when she heard Yuanbao say that, she didn't think he could really become one. But he wanted to become one on his own initiative, so why is he unhappy now?
"Yuanbao, what happened? Tell grandma."
Yuanbao was awkward for a while before he finally spoke: "I, I became a class cadre, but the teacher asked me to be the sports committee member."
He didn't know what the gym committee member was at first, but after finishing a gym class that afternoon, he understood it thoroughly. As for why he was unhappy about being the gym committee member, it was because when he stood in front and asked the students to line up, the girls standing at the back were taller than him!
Yuanbao suddenly felt his self-esteem was hit. He wondered when the growth that his grandma had promised would come.
Feng Guizhi didn't think about this at first, and only understood it after Wen Zhi and Wen Jie explained it to her with a smile.
Seeing Yuanbao's head drooping, Feng Guizhi quickly comforted him, "You're still young and growing. Maybe in two months you'll be taller than them. Don't worry. Besides, your classmates won't laugh at you for this. They're all good classmates."
"Yes, Yuanbao, when big brother was the same age as you, he was actually about the same height as you. He will grow taller later." Bowen also echoed.
After being persuaded by them for a few words, Yuanbao stopped thinking about it. His little emotions always came and went quickly.
After dinner in the evening, Baoya, Yuanbao, and Tianen all lay down on their beds. A few days ago, Li Qingyan and Song Jianshe went to the county town, so Yuanbao came to live in the west room again.
Yuanbao stared at the roof with his eyes open. After a while, he turned over and looked at Baoya on the other side, saying:
"Little Sister Xiaobao, have you been staying at home these past two days? What have you been doing?"
Baoya thought about it carefully, then counted on her fingers and said to him seriously
She started talking: "Feeding the chickens, watering the vegetables with Grandma, playing with Tiantian sister, and writing."
"You have done so many things, Xiaobao sister is really amazing." Tian'en on the side heard it and praised with a smile.
"Little Sister, are you still bored? Do you want to go play in the back hills?"
Baoya frowned and said hesitantly, "I do, but I can't go alone." She still remembered the incident with the human traffickers. What if she went to the back mountain alone and ran into a bad guy? She would be very sad, and so would her grandmother.
Yuanbao suggested to her, "Little Bao, you can go to the back mountain to find Brother Yibei. If he's there, everything will be fine." After that, he continued, "You can ask me to take you there in the afternoon and hand you over to Brother Yibei. Then you can come back later."
The more Yuanbao talked about it, the more he thought this method was feasible, and he immediately said excitedly: "Do you want to go play with Brother Yibei? If you do, I'll talk to grandma for you tomorrow."
Baoya blinked her eyes when she heard this, thinking it was indeed possible. Then, she slowly nodded her head in agreement. She even made a sound to match Yuanbao's reaction, just in case Yuanbao didn't see it.
"Okay, I'll tell grandma about this tomorrow when I get up. She'll definitely agree."
"Hmm~"
Early the next morning, Yuanbao got up and ran to Feng Guizhi to talk about this matter. It was not a difficult matter, so Feng Guizhi quickly agreed.
In the afternoon, when it was the time Yuanbao said Shen Yibei might appear, Feng Guizhi took Tiantian and Baoya to the back mountain.
We walked slowly along the way, just like taking a stroll. Tiantian was obviously very happy to be able to go out and play.
After reaching the back mountain, it didn’t take long before I saw Shen Yibei coming.
Feng Guizhi asked him a few simple questions, and then asked a few more questions about Jiang Qiuli's health. Then she handed Baoya to Shen Yibei, and she took Tiantian back the way she came.
As for Shen Yibei, not only Yuanbao and the others, but also Feng Guizhi were worried. Moreover, she felt that Shen Yibei might be able to take better care of Baoya than Yuanbao.
After watching Feng Guizhi walk away, Shen Yibei took Xiao Baoya into the mountains. It didn't take long for him to find two or three wild fruit trees like magic.
He originally planned to wait until Saturday or Sunday when the younger members of the Song family would gather together and bring them along.
Unexpectedly, they were all busy going to school, leaving only Baoya alone, and Feng Guizhi even sent her over to him. So he changed his mind and brought Baoya over directly.
Shen Yibei let Baoya pick what she wanted to eat, and picked some for her, filling her small cloth bag. Baoya also took two red wild persimmons in each of her little hands, and then the two of them changed places and went somewhere else.
The two, one big and one small, got along very happily. While walking on the path, Shen Yibei saw some small red, yellow and purple flowers beside them. They were blooming very beautifully and densely, like a sea of flowers.
"It's so beautiful~" Baoya's eyes lit up when she saw the big flower, and she said softly.
Shen Yibei turned his head and took a look, then walked forward and picked a few flowers of each color, then deftly weaved them with both hands, and soon the small flowers turned into a beautiful wreath in his hands.
"Do you want to wear it?" Shen Yibei asked Baoya.
Baoya's little mouth was slightly open, and she nodded her head gently when she heard the voice, with a look of anticipation and a bit of shyness on her face.
Shen Yibei gently put the wreath on Baoya's head. The wreath of purple and red flowers intertwined together added color to her and made her fair little face more lively.
It was the first time for Baoya to wear such a beautiful wreath, and two little red clouds appeared on her little face shyly.
Shen Yibei was stunned for two seconds, staring straight at it and forgetting to look away.
He always knew that Baoya was very pretty, with a different kind of beauty from the other people in the team, but at this moment, with the garland on her head, she looked innocent and her beautiful eyes were filled with a smile like shattered stars, which made people want to protect her and let her continue to be so happy.
Shen Yibei watched quietly, and a moment of regret suddenly flashed through his mind. If only he had a camera, he would definitely take a picture of this scene and put it in a book to keep as a treasure.
However, it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t have it. He recorded it with his eyes and can recall it clearly later.
......
The two of them waited until the children were out of school, and then they slowly walked down the mountain. They waited on the road they had to pass, and when Bowen and Boyu and the others arrived, they took Baoya home with them.
Shen Yibei saw Baoya reunited with them, and turned back to the cowshed.
"Little Bao sister, your wreath is so beautiful? Is it made by Brother Bei?"
Baoya, Yun Duo was the first to notice the wreath she was holding carefully in her hand, and asked with envy.
Baoya nodded her head, responded, and then handed the wreath in her hand to Yunduo: "Sixth sister, put it on you~"
Yun Duo was a little embarrassed, but she couldn't resist the temptation of the wreath. In the end, she took the wreath and gently put it on her head. She couldn't see what it looked like, so she asked Bao Ya nervously and expectantly:
"Sister Xiaobao, ok, does it look good?" Yun Duo became a little shy as she said this.
Baoya couldn't see it when she was wearing it just now, but now she sees Yunduo wearing it and she knows how beautiful it is. She nodded her head vigorously and praised sincerely: "It looks good~"
Yun Duo originally looks more like Chen Xiu Xiu, with delicate facial features, except that her skin is a little darker due to the summer tan, but this is only compared to Bao Ya's fair skin. When standing next to her brothers, she is still a lot whiter.
She was neatly dressed, and her clothes were clean, which made her look comfortable and pleasing to the eye. Now that she was wearing the garland, she looked even better.
Even Yuanbao beside him nodded and agreed: "It looks good!"
Bowen and Boyu also praised their own sister, and they took turns praising her, making Yunduo blush. She quickly took off the wreath and carefully returned it to Baoya.
When Yuanbao saw it, he said, "Little Sister Xiaobao, try it on and show it to us. It will definitely look good on you too."
Tian En said nothing, but nodded and looked at Bao Ya expectantly. His little sister Bao was so pretty, she would look even better with the garland.
Two blushes appeared on Baoya's face again. She lowered her head a little embarrassedly, and then obediently put the wreath on her head.
"Sister Xiaobao, look up and let us see." Yun Duo was the first to speak impatiently.
"Yes, show it to us quickly. It's hard to see it this way."
Baoya had no choice but to slowly look up at Yunduo in front of her with a red face. Yunduo exclaimed, "Wow! It looks so good! It looks so good on you, little sister Bao~!"
"Little sister Xiaobao is the prettiest!"
"She's pretty. Other people's sisters aren't as pretty as mine, hehe~"
“…”
Baoya's face turned even redder. Seeing that her brothers had finished looking at the wreath, she raised her hand to take it down, but was stopped:
"Don't take it off, just wear it like this, let others see that my sister is the most beautiful~!"
"Yes, Xiaobao sister, don't pick it.
Let’s just go back like this.”
Although Baoya felt a little shy, she wanted her brothers to be happy, so she didn't refuse. Moreover, she was secretly a little happy in her heart.
On the way back to Old Song's house, Yuanbao attracted a lot of attention. He straightened his chest proudly and felt particularly proud.
When they got home, they took Baoya to show it to Feng Guizhi again, and then to Yang Yulan, and then to Chen Xiuxiu and Sun Suyun. In short, everyone in the family showed it to her, even Tiantian.
"Grandma, isn't little sister Xiaobao particularly pretty?"
Feng Guizhi smiled and said what she had said countless times: "They are beautiful. Our girl Baoya is the most beautiful. And Yunduo and Tiantian are all beautiful."
Yuanbao and Tianen were satisfied, and smiles appeared on their little faces.
......
In the days that followed, Feng Guizhi would take two days off during the school days to send Baoya to the back mountain and let her play with Shen Yibei.
Sometimes Shen Yibei would take Baoya to pick wild fruits, sometimes he would teach her to write, and sometimes he would take her to catch pheasants.
The days passed by so quickly, plain and warm.
The gray rabbit in Old Song's house has recovered. Its wounds have healed and scabbed, and it can jump around. Feng Guizhi didn't lock it up. It's not like before, when it couldn't even eat a bite of meat. A fat rabbit would definitely satisfy its craving. Now that Old Song's family is doing well, they don't need a little bit of it.
Especially the little ones all like this rabbit and think about feeding it fresh grass every day.
I don’t know if the gray rabbit knew that the people in the Song family would not hurt it, but sometimes it ran away at night and came back two days later. It squatted quietly in the nest built for it, eating some grass picked for it by the little ones, and looked particularly well-behaved.
Mid-Autumn Festival arrived in the blink of an eye. Li Qingyan and Song Jianshe both returned from the county, and the family celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival together. Feng Guizhi also remembered the cowshed and packed up food and asked Song Jianshe to deliver it.
This time, the gifts were bigger, including Xu Zhijin's share. He had helped Yuanbao and Baoya before, and she had always wanted to repay him, but she didn't dare to get involved with him rashly. After all, he had a special status, and she didn't know if it would cause trouble for him and the Song family.
However, she later felt relieved when she heard Song Jianshe say that Xu Zhijin and Zhao Rongsheng had a good relationship. From then on, every time she delivered something to the cowshed, she would bring Xu Zhijin's portion with her.
"By the way, Mom." Before leaving, Song Jianshe looked back at Feng Guizhi, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
"What's the matter? Just say it if you have something to say."
"I vaguely heard some news before I came back this time. That matter... should be happening soon."
Feng Guizhi knew what Song Jianshe was talking about. She thought about it for a few seconds and said, "Send it there first."
Song Jianshe responded, turned around and walked into the night with his things, heading towards the cowshed.
