"He has gone to the island to serve as a sailor now." said Aunt Cuihua.
"Ah, why did you go to the island?" Song Jinxiu asked in confusion.
"It was said that when we were in the next province, we saw a child fall into the river, and there happened to be no adults around.
The river was flowing fast, and the older and younger children on the bank were afraid to go in. Dalinzi jumped in to save the people.
Then they were spotted by an officer on the island, who thought Dalinzi was a good swimmer and asked him if he wanted to join the navy, so the four of them went," said Aunt Cuihua.
"Is it that simple?" Song Jinxiu asked doubtfully.
"What else?" Aunt Cuihua said with a smile.
"I thought I would have to go through many trials and tribulations, and face many tests and so on," said Song Jinxiu.
"What kind of messed up books have you read again!" Aunt Zhou said from the side.
"I didn't. You know, I don't like reading." When the novel becomes traditional Chinese, the baby no longer likes to read it.
"I think about all sorts of random things all day long," said Aunt Zhou.
"I just don't understand!" Song Jinxiu muttered softly.
"Joining the army is not that complicated now. As long as you have a clean background, you'll be fine," said the village chief.
"Oh!" Song Jinxiu replied softly. "Uncle is planning to play for a few more days this time!"
"We'll go back tomorrow," said the village chief.
"Are you in such a hurry? Why don't you stay for two more days?" Song Jinxiu said in surprise. She thought her uncle would at least stay for a few more days.
"I'm not used to playing in the city, the countryside is more comfortable." said the village chief.
"Then I'll go cook and let you taste Chef Song's cooking skills." Song Jinxiu said and walked towards the kitchen.
"Then let's go and help." Aunt Cuihua and Aunt Zhou also stood up.
The two children were tested on their homework by the village chief in the yard.
"Here, it's for you." Aunt Cuihua took out a letter and handed it to Song Jinxiu.
"Who wrote this to me?" Song Jinxiu took it in confusion.
"Who else? The one on the island." Aunt Zhou said from the side.
"Oh." Song Jinxiu ignored their gazes and calmly put the letter into her pocket.
"Why don't you take a look?" asked Aunt Zhou.
"Can't you see I'm busy? Come back and take a look when you have time." Song Jinxiu pointed to her spatula and said.
"I know, you're just shy." Aunt Zhou laughed beside her.
"I say, auntie. If you don't want to help, just go out and wait for dinner. You're taking up space here! Look at me. There's no room left even when I turn around." Song Jinxiu said.
"Look at the distance between us. You can't turn around because you are too fat. It has nothing to do with me!" Aunt Zhou was standing in the corner, quite some distance away from Song Jinxiu.
"You being here will affect my performance. If it doesn't taste good, it will be your fault." Song Jinxiu said as she cooked.
The two of them started arguing with each other.
Only after everyone left did Song Jinxiu start reading the letters in the room.
I didn't say anything, just said that because of his outstanding performance, he became a squad leader as soon as he joined.
Every day's training is fun. Since we live near the sea, we often eat fish. I will send it to myself when I get settled.
She also said that there are a lot of fruits here, and if she has the chance, she must go and try them. She believes she will like it.
Finally, he attached his address, indicating that if there was anything he wanted, he could write to let him know.
Song Jinxiu closed the letter. She felt that she had everything she needed and wanted nothing.
Sunday soon arrived. The day before, when Song Jinxiu got off work, Zhao Tingting mysteriously brought her a basket, preparing it for her in advance, saying that she would eat it the next day.
When I got home and opened it, I found out that it was actually meat and soda.
There were two large pieces of pork belly and a large piece of lamb.
Thinking of the lamb skewers, Song Jinxiu's mouth started watering.
Cut the meat into pieces and marinate it in the evening, then string it up the next day.
There are slices and cubes, with some fat and some lean.
The next morning, Song Jinxiu rode her bicycle to pick someone up as usual. Su Jie also had a bicycle, and they agreed to meet at the entrance of the department store.
"Oh, what delicious food did you bring?" Song Jinxiu saw the big food box in Zhao Tingting's arms from a distance.
"It must be dessert!" Zhao Tingting patted the food box in her arms and said, "Hurry up, hurry up, I can't wait to help."
"What can you do to help? Help with eating?" Shangguan Jiao got into Song Jinxiu's car, and Song Jinxiu asked.
"Aren't you guys stringing together now? I can do it too!" Zhao Tingting said excitedly.
She had never participated in this kind of group gathering. In the past, she was only responsible for looking pretty at gatherings, and there was no way she could cook food by herself!
"Hello, auntie, hello, I'm Xiuxiu's friend, my name is Zhao Tingting. Sorry to bother you today! Here are some cakes we made ourselves, please try them and see if they are delicious."
As soon as she entered the room, Zhao Tingting started to greet everyone in a familiar manner. "Hello, classmates!"
"You can call her Aunt Zhao!" Song Jinxiu said.
Zhao Tingting froze for a moment, looked at Song Jinxiu in disbelief, and pointed at herself, "You are the sisters, and I am the aunt?"
"Aren't you married? It's normal to call you auntie." Song Jinxiu teased her.
"Of course it's not normal!" Zhao Tingting bared her teeth at Song Jinxiu, then turned around and smiled gently at everyone, "Don't listen to your Sister Song, she just likes to joke around. Just call me Sister Tingting."
"Sister Tingting!" The classmates called out in cooperation.
"Oh, that's good!" Zhao Tingting responded happily. She touched her pocket and said, "It's a pity that I forgot to bring candy this time. I'll make up for it next time! You can eat cakes later. Tell me which one you like. I'll bring you some next time."
Then he pointed at Su Jie and said, "This is Sister Su."
"Hello, Sister Su, hello, Sister Jiaojiao." The children shouted.
"Hello!" Su Jie greeted Shangguan Jiao.
"Xiao Song, take your friends out for a walk. Things will be ready here soon." Aunt Cuihua said.
The barbecue won’t start for a while yet, and there’s nothing fun to do at home.
Song Jinxiu had prepared the barbecue grill and charcoal fire early on. When she was in the village, she and An An had barbecues at home in the middle of winter.
"No, no. Auntie, we came here specially to help." Zhao Tingting said quickly.
"Aunt, it's okay. There's strength in numbers. Let's help together. Let's finish skewering the food as soon as possible and start grilling it!" Song Jinxiu said from the side.
"Okay, whatever you want." The two aunts were in the kitchen making soup. Eating just barbecue would cause internal heat, so they made some herbal soup to cool it down.
With the addition of Zhao Tingting, the lively crowd became noisier.
She is a very outgoing person, playing here and touching there, and then crying out when something happens.
Her state refreshed the children's understanding of city people. It turns out that city people are not as gentle as Sister Jiaojiao!
Su Jie, okay, Su Jie is considered normal among the few people.
When everything was finished, a few people set up the barbecue grill and prepared to start a fire.
