As soon as Mr. and Mrs. Chen opened the door, they saw their daughter rushing out from the inner room and turning around happily in front of them.

Father Chen was surprised and asked, "Hey, didn't you go shopping for cloth today? Why did you buy a new set of clothes straight away? How much did you spend?"

Mother Chen walked forward and looked at it carefully twice, nodding and praising: "This style is really rare, beautiful, beautiful! Which tailor shop made this? It doesn't look like the one on the street, right?"

Chen Mingdong, the elder brother of the Chen family, who came later, also saw the new clothes that Chen Cuizhu was showing off. He exclaimed, "The female bandit has turned into a fairy!"

Chen Cuizhu stamped her feet upon hearing this, rolled her eyes at him, and then explained to Chen's father and mother, "This was made for me by a sister I know, and she's a great tailor! What's that tailor shop on the street?"

"She is at our house now. I'll bring her out for you to meet her." After saying that, Chen Cuizhu turned around and trotted to pull Jiang Suinsui out.

Jiang Suunsui was a little embarrassed to see so many people. She smiled and said hello: "Hello, uncle and aunt, hello, big brother! I am Jiang Suunsui."

Mother Chen looked at her in surprise and asked, "Did you make this dress for Cuicui?"

Jiang Suishun nodded shyly, and Chen Cuizhu interrupted to explain: "Of course, I just made it this afternoon. Suishun was busy for a long time!"

"Oh, silly child!" Mother Chen laughed, "Are you tired? Cuicui is really a girl. She has no shame at all about getting married. She is looking for someone to make new clothes for her."

"But this dress is really beautiful, and the sewing is neat and detailed. The little girl has such good craftsmanship at such a young age. She is really dexterous and virtuous!" Mother Chen praised.

Jiang Suinsui blushed when she was praised. She felt a little embarrassed. After all, she didn't do it for free. She had to be paid.

Chen Cuizhu, who was standing by, also remembered this incident. She quickly said, "Mom, I can't let Sui Sui work for nothing. We can just pay him according to the price of the tailor shop. You can give me another five dollars."

"Yes, yes, yes." Mother Chen nodded repeatedly, "Of course I will give it to you. Is five dollars enough?"

Jiang Suisui said hurriedly: "No, I only need three..."

Chen Cuizhu rushed to the rescue and said, "Five dollars, just five dollars!"

Then she pulled Jiang Sui Sui aside and whispered, "Why are you being so polite? I give you five dollars, but you don't want it?"

Jiang Suishun pursed her face and said embarrassedly: "Didn't I just say it was only three yuan..."

"I'm not the kind of person who takes advantage. You do better than the tailor shop, so of course I have to pay you the normal price." Chen Cuizhu took out another two fifty-cent bills from her pocket, added them together with the five yuan just now, and stuffed them into Jiang Suunsui's pocket. "And the money for buying eggs from you. This is what we agreed on before."

Jiang Sui Sui has a "huge sum of money" in her hand, and her mood is a bit indescribable. This is the first money she has earned in two lives...

"Cuizhu, thank you!" She thanked Chen Cuizhu sincerely and excitedly.

Chen Cuizhu was embarrassed by her solemn thanks: "Thank you for what? It should be me who should thank you."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. We are friends now. Don't be so polite to me!" Chen Cuizhu held her hand and said, "Remember to come and play with me when you have time in the future."

"Hehe, okay." Jiang Suisui said with a smile, "I'll come to see you next time we get together."

"Oh, right!" Jiang Suinshun suddenly realized, "I have to leave quickly! It will be dark if I don't leave now."

"Cuizhu, your friend, when is she leaving?"

Chen Cuizhu: "Don't worry, I'll take some time this afternoon to go over and tell her. She'll come over and call her when she's leaving. I guess it's about time."

As she was talking, there was a knock on the gate and Chen Cuizhu's younger sister came over and called her to go out.

"Honghong, thank you. Please help me take Sui Sui back." Chen Cuizhu exchanged a few words with the little sister and handed Jiang Sui Sui to her. "Sui Sui, see you next time."

After saying goodbye to Chen Cuizhu, Jiang Suisui followed Honghong to the car they were about to take.

"This..." Jiang Suisui looked at the 28-inch bicycle parked on the side of the road and the man and child waiting on the side, and asked hesitantly, "Can it fit?"

Honghong: "It's okay, there's room! You sit in the back, my brother and I will sit in the front, and my brother will ride the bike to take us."

"Ah...it won't be overloaded, right?" Jiang Suishun said hesitantly.

"What do you mean by overloaded?" Hong Hong wondered. "Don't worry, my brother's car has carried our family of five!"

That’s really cool… Jiang Suishun nodded with a smile and sat on the back seat of the bicycle.

To be honest, this was her first time sitting on the back of a bicycle, and it felt really... uncomfortable!

The roads in the countryside are uneven and bumpy, as Jiang Suinshun had experienced this morning.

But the bumps and the back seat made it a bit uncomfortable. Jiang Suishun had to hold on to the seat tightly to prevent herself from being shaken off. After sitting for a while, she felt her buttocks go numb.

Fortunately, the bicycle was much faster than the ox cart, and it only took about half the morning's time for the car to stop.

The bicycle stopped at a fork in the mountain road. Honghong looked back from the front handlebar and said to her, "Sui Sui, we will take you here. Go down this slope and keep walking, and you will see the top of the mountain of your village."

Jiang Suunsui jumped out of the back seat of the car and said thankfully, "Okay, thank you for today. Sorry for bothering you guys."

"Don't be so polite, it's just a matter of convenience." Honghong waved her hand and said, "Forget it, we have to hurry back. See you next time!"

"See you later." Jiang Suinsui said goodbye to them and watched the bicycles leave.

She looked up at the sky, which was grayish-blue and gradually getting darker. She estimated that it would be completely dark soon.

Jiang Suinsui looked around and saw no one on the road, only the quiet mountain road and dense grass and trees.

She folded her arms and shrank back, feeling suddenly a little timid.

The forest at night is so quiet that it's a little scary...

Jiang Suinsui hurried on, she had to get back to the village before it got dark. Otherwise, when she couldn't see anymore, she wouldn't even know the way.

After walking for a while, it got darker and darker. The only sound on the road was her footsteps, which made the atmosphere even quieter.

The further Jiang Suinsui walked, the faster her heart beat. It was so scary. It was so quiet and empty here that it seemed like she was the only one left in the world.

She couldn't help but quicken her pace, and even started to jog, just wanting to get home as soon as possible.

However, she was walking downhill, and she ran too fast and slipped unexpectedly. She tripped over a rock and fell to the ground. The empty basket in her hand was thrown out and rolled to the front.

"Ouch——" Jiang Suunshun's face wrinkled in pain. She raised her hands to climb up and immediately looked at her burning palms. "Hiss... it's bleeding..."

Then he rolled up his trouser legs and looked at his tender white knees with heartache as they were bruised and bleeding.

"Oh, I'm so miserable..." Jiang Suinsui sat on the ground, looking around in a daze, fear and pain intertwined, and she almost wanted to cry.

She felt her pocket and found the money was still there. Feeling a little comforted, she limped to her feet and prepared to continue on her way.

At this moment, there was a sound suddenly coming from behind, which sounded like the sound of a bicycle wheel rolling on the ground that I had heard all the way.

The sound was approaching very quickly. Jiang Suisui couldn't help but look back, and then her eyes widened.

"Song Weizheng...?"

Jiang Suisui watched Song Weizhen riding past her on a bicycle, and she was stunned on the spot.

However, she was stunned for only a second before she came to her senses and shouted forward: "Song Weizheng——!"

Hearing the sound, Song Weizhen braked and stopped.

Jiang Suisui was delighted when she saw this. She quickly hopped a few steps on one foot and jumped in front of him. She said happily, "What a coincidence! Are you going home too?"

After hearing those nonsense words, Song Wei Zheng looked up at her, then lowered his head to look at her trouser legs rolled up to her knees. There was a large red scar on her knee, which was still bleeding slightly. It looked a little scary against her fair skin. He couldn't help but frown.

Jiang Suinsui saw him frowning and thought he was unwilling to go with her, so she became anxious. Her mind was hot, and she suddenly turned around and sat on the back seat of his bicycle, reaching out and firmly grasping the corners of his clothes on both sides of his waist.

"?" Song Wei Zheng couldn't help but look back at her.

Jiang Suisui put on a pitiful face and said aggrievedly: "Brother Song, you are a good man, please take care of me! You see, I just fell and I can't walk properly. It will be dark soon and I can't see anything. What if there are snakes or wolves, then I will be in trouble."

After saying this, she clasped her hands together and blinked at him: "Please, please." Then she put her hands down and tightly grasped the corner of his clothes, fearing that he would abandon her.

Song Wei Zheng didn't respond to her, but bent sideways and picked up something from the ground.

Jiang Suinsui looked carefully and found that this was the basket she had just thrown out.

Song Wei Zheng handed it to her: "Don't you want anything anymore?"

“Yes, yes, yes!” Jiang Suishun quickly took it and put it on his lap.

"Hold on tight." Song Wei Zheng said this, then he pedaled again and set off.

Yes! Jiang Suishun cheered in her heart. Finally, she didn’t have to walk the mountain road alone!

She looked at Song Weizheng's tall and strong back and felt a sense of security.

Feeling relaxed, Jiang Sui Sui couldn't help but want to speak: "Song, Brother Song, why did you come back at this time?"

Song Wei Zheng's voice was carried by the wind from the front: "Shouldn't I be the one asking you this? Didn't I tell you to wait by the ox cart before noon? Don't be late."

Jiang Suisui felt guilty when she heard this, "I met a friend in town, so I went to her house to play for a while, and I accidentally stayed too long."

"I'm done. What about you?" Jiang Suisui quickly changed the subject. She was very curious. Where did Song Weizheng get the bicycle? Wasn't it said that his family was so poor that they could barely make ends meet?

Song Weizheng said calmly, "Something happened. I came back late."

It's the same as saying nothing!

Jiang Suisui bravely asked again: "Brother Song, where did you buy this bicycle?"
