The two of them sat for a while and played with their twins before going home.
Qiu Rou is almost recovered now. All she needs to do next is to take care of herself and she will be able to go to school with me next week.
Because her aunt had taken away all her things before, fortunately she didn't like the books so she didn't touch them.
Originally, Song Jinxiu wanted to make the bed for her, but Tian Xiaomei said that they could sleep together and it would be warmer.
Song Jinxiu asked Qiu Rou for her opinion and agreed seeing that she had no objection.
Anyway, we had already put an extra thin quilt underneath, so now one big quilt is enough for the two of us.
"If you feel cold or have any other problems, remember to tell us when you come back. We won't know if you don't tell us." Song Jinxiu instructed.
"Yeah!" Qiu Rou followed Song Jinxiu and busied herself with her.
She has been without a mother since she was a child, so maybe this is what it feels like to have her mother around.
"Clothes, pants, pencils, notebooks. If you need anything, you should ask for it. Teacher Song is not a very careful person, so sometimes he will overlook something.
You have to remind yourself, don't just sit there and wait for me to remember, okay?" Song Jinxiu instructed.
Sometimes she can't figure out her own affairs.
Qiu Rou nodded aside.
Song Jinxiu prepared new daily necessities for her and sent her to the dormitory just like sending children to school at the beginning of the school year.
Like Tian Xiaomei and the others, I can eat all three meals at school after paying for food in the cafeteria.
Dalinzi received a letter from Song Jinxiu. He was very welcome for her to come and visit, but when he thought about the difficult conditions here, he didn't want her to suffer.
Considering her delicate appearance, she must not be used to the life here.
"Whose letter is this? You look so lustful." The battalion commander next door walked past the door and saw Dalinzi with a smile on his face.
After so much hard work, Dalinzi is now a company commander and has his own independent dormitory.
But he knew that this was far from enough and he had to work harder.
"It's a letter from my hometown, wanting to come and visit relatives." Dalinzi said with a smile.
"That's good. But that's not right. Don't you have no relatives?" said the company commander next door.
"I'm a villager. I'm very curious about the sea and wanted to come and see it, and also come to see me." Dalinzi said with a smile.
"Hahaha, that's true. When I first came here, I was also very curious. I was even seasick at that time. Now that I think about it, time flies so fast!" The company commander next door sighed.
"It's good now, at least there's enough seafood! Do you want to go there a few more times later?" Dalinzi put the letter back into the drawer and said with a smile.
"That's fine. I'm sure I'll get more than you this time." One of the daily trainings here is to go fishing in the sea.
It can not only train the soldiers' swimming skills and underwater reaction ability, but also increase their diving time, and finally they can harvest a wave of seafood, killing two birds with one stone.
Although life on the island is hard, Dalinzi still hopes that Song Jinxiu can come if the other party wants to come.
Just explain the situation clearly and let her be adequately prepared.
Qiu Rou also began to return to a normal life. She can now go to school with her friends every day, eat in the cafeteria, and occasionally go shopping.
Every Sunday she would go to Song Jinxiu's house for a gathering, where she met the kind Aunt Cuihua and the friendly Aunt Cuiqin and her family.
After being accused by Tian Xiaomei and the others, she should have called Cuihua Grandma like them, so that she would sound like a generation older.
Qiu Rou smiled secretly, because Song Jinxiu brought her up, so she called him the same way as Song Jinxiu.
Originally Qiu Rou wanted to stay with Song Jinxiu during the holiday because Song Jinxiu still had to go to work, but she could not resist Tian Xiaomei's pleading.
I had no choice but to pack up and leave. Oh, no, I didn’t even have to pack up, because I would sleep with Xiaomei when I went to Tian Xiaomei’s house.
Just pack your clothes and some daily necessities.
Qiu Rou didn't want to come, but she couldn't resist Tian Xiaomei's coquettishness and cuteness.
Xiaomei was her first friend, and she followed her because she didn't want to disappoint her.
Qiu Rou has made sufficient mental preparations. No matter how Xiaomei's family treats her, she will be considerate of them for Xiaomei's sake.
After all, no family likes to have someone who eats for free.
The more Qiu Rou thought about it, the more she felt that this was wrong. She was too impulsive. Not everyone was like Teacher Song who didn't dislike her.
When she arrived at the village, Xiaomei's family did not give her a warm welcome. They just asked her to take good care of herself and then went about their own business.
This actually made Qiu Rou feel relieved, after all, some people are two-faced.
Gradually she discovered that this village was really different from her own village. The people here were very friendly and harmonious.
It’s different from my own village, where people would cry and curse for half an hour even if a single onion was pulled out of the field.
Xiaomei took Qiu Rou for a walk around the village, and Qiu Rou had already harvested two bags of melon seeds and peanuts.
Qiu Rou was extremely excited. From childhood to adulthood, she had never received so many gifts even when visiting relatives during the Chinese New Year.
After all, she had no relatives at home to visit.
"This is your first time here, and everyone welcomes you! We don't always have something to give you when we go out." Xiaomei said with a smile.
She also got some good luck and got a lot of peanuts and sunflower seeds.
Although there is food to eat at home, the joy of visiting is different.
"Yeah!" Qiu Rou nodded. It's hard to forget something once, so how can you expect it to happen every day?
"But I'll take you to visit other people's homes during the Chinese New Year. You'll need to bring an iron box to store the gifts. I tell you, you can fill your pockets with gifts just by visiting a few of their houses.
By then, there will be not only sunflower seeds and peanuts, but also candy. I will have to go home several times to empty my pockets. Hahaha!
By the way, the candies at Teacher Song’s are the best, hehehehe! Just follow me this year, and I’ll help you save up all the snacks for the whole year.”
Tian Xiaomei patted her little chest and said proudly.
"Yeah!" Qiu Rou's little face flushed with excitement. This kind of life is so good.
Xiaomei's parents treated her like a family member. They didn't greet her excessively, nor did they roll their eyes at her in secret.
The uncles and aunts in the village are all very kind, and life here is like a paradise.
Song Jinxiu and her partner did not return to the village until the 28th. They went back to wait for the New Year. Everyone had finished their work.
After only staying in the village for a few days, Qiu Rou got used to living in Tian Xiaomei's house and stopped moving around. She continued to live in Tian Xiaomei's house.
Song Jinxiu did not mention the issue of providing food, and just planned to increase the amount of this year's gift a little.
Just like the students often went to Song Jinxiu's house for dinner, no one asked for money or food.
It’s just that there are endless mountain products, wild fruits, vegetables and fruits every year, and whenever there is something delicious in the village, Song Jinxiu’s family will have a share.
Also, during the Chinese New Year, every family brings a portion of what they made.
Sometimes when people get along to a certain extent, they become distant when money is given!
