Chapter 49 Returning with a Lot of Borrowed Books



Jiang Suinsui came to Chen Cuizhu's door and knocked tentatively. This time she was lucky and someone answered after a while.

"I'm here." The courtyard door opened, and it was Chen Cuizhu's mother whom I had met before. She also remembered Jiang Suunsui, and said in surprise, "Little girl, it's you! Are you here to look for Cuizhu?"

Jiang Suunsui nodded obediently: "Hello, Auntie, yes, I'm looking for Cuizhu, is she at home?"

"Here, here, I haven't seen you for a long time. Cuizhu has mentioned you several times and said she wanted to look for you." Mother Chen quickly opened the gate to let her in and shouted to the inner room, "Cuizhu, someone is looking for you!"

"Coming, coming!" As soon as the words fell, Chen Cuizhu ran out.

When she saw Jiang Sui Sui in the yard, she was stunned for a moment, then she rushed over in surprise and said happily: "Sui Sui, you came to see me! Long time no see! Oh, you don't know, I wanted to go to your village to find you before, but I was busy getting married recently and really couldn't spare the time."

As soon as these words came out, Chen's mother gently scolded: "Enough, you are so shameless, talking about getting married all the time."

Chen Cuizhu said willfully: "I am happy! It is not something shameful. I am happy and I want to say it!"

"Okay, okay, okay! Girls grow up and can't be kept at home. I can't control you anymore." Mother Chen shook her head. "Take Sunsui in and sit down. Treat him well. I'll go help your sister-in-law look after the child."

Chen Cuizhu brought Jiang Suinsui into her own room. Jiang Suinsui looked around and saw that the room was already decorated in a festive red color.

She smiled and said, "You've almost finished the decoration? When are you getting married?"

Chen Cuizhu: "Not yet. My mother said she would make two more quilts for me before I get married after the Chinese New Year."

Jiang Suisui: “Congratulations!”

"Thank you!" Chen Cuizhu smiled, "By the way, I've always wanted to find you, you know? The little clothes you made for my nephew, my sister-in-law likes them very much! And the clothes you made for me last time, when I wore them out, many people praised me! They also want you to make them! Will you accept the order?"

"Really? That's great!" Jiang Suishun was delighted at first, but soon calmed down: "But I may not be able to accept the order... I don't have a sewing machine, so I can't make clothes."

Chen Cuizhu was a little disappointed after hearing this: "Ah... I also want you to make me another set of clothes. I wore the previous one every day and it has become old clothes. I want you to make me another set for spring."

Jiang Suinsui thought for a moment and said, "How about this, don't you have a sewing machine? I'll take some time to come back later and help you with it at your house."

Chen Cuizhu said happily, "Really?! Suisui, you are so nice! Thank you! Now I will make my little sisters jealous again."

Jiang Sui Sui smiled and said, "You're welcome. I'm not doing this for free. I came here to ask you for help with something."

Chen Cuizhu quickly said, "What's the matter? Just tell me, I will do my best to help!"

Jiang Sui Sui: "I want to borrow a book from you. Do you have high school textbooks or tutoring books?"

Chen Cuizhu thought for a moment and said, "I have high school textbooks. I'm getting married soon and won't need them anymore, so I'll just give them to you. I'll also give you my brother's books. He said a long time ago that he wanted to sell his books! But why do you want them?"

Jiang Sui Sui: "Nothing, I just want to improve my cultural level, thank you Cui Zhu."

Chen Cuizhu was immediately in awe of him when she heard this: "Sui Sui, you are so inspiring and hardworking. I have to learn from you!"

Jiang Sui Sui smiled and said, "You, just get married peacefully first! By the way, tell me what kind of clothes you want to make, and I'll go back and think about it, and I'll find time to come over and make it for you later."

Then, the two chatted and talked until Chen's mother came over and asked her to stay for lunch. Jiang Suisui then quickly stood up and prepared to say goodbye: "No, auntie, I have an appointment with someone to meet before noon, I have to go first."

Chen Cuizhu said goodbye to her reluctantly, and just like that, Jiang Suinsui left the Chen family with satisfaction, taking with her a pile of books that Chen Cuizhu had sorted out.

She held the book in both hands, and her fingers were hooked with the things she had bought before. When she finally reached the meeting point, she felt that her hands were about to be strangled.

She put the things on the ground, patted the books and said, "Cuizhu is so generous. I am so tired of giving so many books..."

She looked around and didn't see Song Weizheng. She wondered: Am I not late? It's still a while before noon...

At this moment, Wang Xiaoyan and Zheng Qing happened to walk over here. When they saw Jiang Suishun, they smiled, nodded and greeted her.

However, when their eyes swept over the pile of books on the ground, there was a look of surprise in their eyes.

Zheng Qing couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Is this... the book you bought?"

Jiang Suisui explained: "No, I borrowed it from a friend."

Zheng Qing squatted down and took a look, then said, "This is quite complete. Did you borrow it to study on your own?"

Jiang Suisui nodded and said with a smile: "Isn't this a campaign to eliminate illiteracy in the village? I'm thinking of trying to improve my own cultural level as well."

Zheng Qing couldn't help but give a thumbs up when he heard this: "You still insist on studying in such a difficult environment and go against the current. You deserve admiration."

Jiang Suishun blushed a little at the straightforward compliment: "I don't deserve it!"

Wang Xiaoyan: "Your name is Sui Sui, right? I've seen you in the blindness elimination class, and thank you for helping me just now."

Jiang Suisui: "Yes, my name is Jiang Suisui! You're welcome!"

Wang Xiaoyan: "It seems that the books you borrowed are all high school textbooks. If you don't understand something, you can come to the educated youth center to ask me. Although the anti-blindness class has been temporarily ended, I am still happy to help you."

Jiang Suisui was touched by what she heard. No matter if she could use it or not, it was a token of her love. Wang Xiaoyan was very serious in her classes and tried her best to educate villagers with zero knowledge level. Unlike Shen Zhiwen, who did not consider the level of the villagers and only cared about his own teaching.

She nodded and said, "Okay, thank you, Teacher Wang!"

At this moment, Wang Xiaoyan glanced at Jiang Suinsui from behind and suddenly revealed a knowing smile.

She smiled at Jiang Suinsui and said, "The person you are waiting for is here. We will leave first and not disturb you." After that, she took Zheng Qing and left.

Jiang Suinsui turned around in confusion and saw Song Weizheng standing behind her with two large bags in his hands.

"You're here!" Jiang Suinsui said happily.

Song Weizheng looked at the groceries and books on the ground and asked, "I'm late. How long have you been waiting?"

Jiang Suinsui shook her head: "Not long after, have you finished everything?"

"Yeah." Song Wei Zheng responded lightly, then handed the package in his right hand to Jiang Suisui.

"?" Jiang Suisui took it with a puzzled look. The thing was well wrapped and quite heavy. "What is this?"

Song Weizheng: "We just caught some fish yesterday. I took two. You can take them home and let your grandma make soup with them, or you can pickle them and eat them later. There are also some dried goods, a bag of brown sugar and a bag of red dates in them. You can keep them for yourself."

Jiang Suisui was a little confused: "Why, why are you giving me gifts all of a sudden? And so many... They must be very expensive, right? No, no, I can't accept them. You can take them back for Aunt Lan and Xiaoxue."

Song Weizheng smiled and raised the bag in his left hand to show her: "Don't worry, I have everything prepared."

"That...that won't work either..." Jiang Suishun held the package and felt her hands were a little hot. "No merit, no reward. You've given too much!"

Song Wei Zheng leaned over and picked up the book on the ground, saying calmly: "Just take it and go." After that, he walked straight forward.

Jiang Suisui had no choice but to quickly pick up the things on the ground and hurriedly follow him. After following for a while, he felt something was wrong: "Isn't this the direction to the ox cart? Where are we going?"

Song Weizheng: "You want to ride a bullock cart with so many things? You won't be able to get off without getting skinned alive."

"Oh... that's right." Jiang Suinsui frowned as if she suddenly realized something, and then said, "Then how do we get back? Do you ride a bicycle? But it seems like there are too many things."

Song Wei Zheng took her to an empty corner where Tie Zhu was squatting, with a bicycle next to him.

When he saw Song Weizheng, his eyes lit up immediately. He stood up and waved vigorously: "Brother Zheng!"

Then Tiezhu saw Jiang Suinsui following behind Song Weizheng, and greeted her excitedly: "Hello, sister-in-law!"

Jiang Suisui was so frightened by the name that she almost fell. She raised her head stiffly to look at Song Weizheng and struggled to speak: "What's going on?"

Song Weizheng said calmly: "Let me introduce it to you. This is an iron pillar."

"Sister-in-law!" Tiezhu straightened his back and showed his white teeth, and shouted again happily, "I am Tiezhu who usually does business with Brother Zheng. I usually rely on Brother Zheng to protect me. I didn't expect to meet my sister-in-law this time. Sister-in-law and Brother Zheng are really a perfect match! A match made in heaven!"

Then he stepped forward enthusiastically and took all the things in Jiang Suunshun's hands: "Sister-in-law, let me take it!"

Jiang Suunshun was so enthusiastic that she didn’t know what to say: “No, you don’t have to be so polite…”

"That's enough." Song Wei Zheng finally stopped him. "You don't have to take it. Just hang it on the handlebars. Do you have a rope? Find me one and I'll tie the books to the back."

Tiezhu said quickly, "Yes! I'll get it right away!"

Just like that, Jiang Suinsui watched them tie the books to the back seat and hang other large and small bags on the handlebars. After everything was in place, she realized a problem: "Then... there is only one bicycle. Should I take a bullock cart back home?"

"Sister-in-law, why do you want to ride a bullock cart?" Tiezhu asked in confusion, "Brother Zheng will take you on a bicycle! Brother Zheng is very good at riding a bicycle, and he can take me easily. Don't worry, it will be absolutely safe."

Jiang Suinsui: “But…” But the back seat is occupied.

Before she could finish her words, Song Wei Zheng patted the horizontal bar in front of him, tilted his head, and motioned for her to sit on it.

Jiang Sui Sui: ???!!!!!!……

Finally, with Tiezhu's happy voice of "Brother Zheng, bring your sister-in-law to my house for dinner next time!", Jiang Suisui sat on the crossbar of the bicycle, with her back straight and her body stiff, and was taken home by Song Weizheng.
