"Okay, then you get ready. I'll send someone to get the rations later. I still have to ask at other houses, so I'll leave first." Aunt Cuihua waved her hand and left.
"Goodbye, auntie." Song Jinxiu happily saw her off to the door.
There is always a light at the end of the tunnel. I didn’t expect that I could still go there. I was so sad for two days in vain.
"I'm going to the market tomorrow." Song Jinxiu said to Liu Ankang, clapping her hands on the table.
Liu Ankang looked at her with pity, carefully took her hand and pulled the book out from under her hand.
There are even marks on it! I feel so bad.
"What's wrong with you? In your eyes, I'm not as good as this book, right?" Song Jinxiu angrily snatched the book from his hand.
Liu Ankang resisted the urge to nod and shook his head quickly.
The hostage is still in her hands, so she can't be provoked. "You are the most important."
After saying that, he gently took the book from her hand and the hostage was successfully rescued.
Liu Ankang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Tomorrow you just need to eat with Dalinzi and the others. I will give your rations to your aunt." Song Jinxiu said.
Liu Ankang glanced at her and said, "I want to go too."
This woman is so stupid, what if she gets lost again?
"Hey, kid. Tomorrow we won't have our own donkey cart. We'll have to ride on a bullock cart with the aunts.
Think about it, we're a bunch of women, and you're the only man among them, do you feel comfortable with that?"
Song Jinxiu appealed to his emotions and explained it to him logically.
How can you have fun with a child?
If I were alone, I could just buy something and receive it without anyone knowing. But if I brought Liu Ankang with me, I would have to carry it on my back and in my arms.
Song Jinxiu shook her head and said it was not worth it!
"Take a shower and go to bed." Liu Ankang closed the book and walked out the door.
"Hey, little brat, you've learned to get angry?" Song Jinxiu said after him.
"Don't worry, tomorrow if I see anything delicious, I'll bring you a portion. Yours won't be left out."
Liu Ankang ignored her and went to the kitchen to get some water.
"Are you really angry?" Song Jinxiu looked down at him and poked his face. "You're actually angry, how strange is that?"
"No." Liu Ankang pushed Song Jinxiu away and was scooping hot water himself. If he got splashed, he would scream again!
"Let me do it, let me do it. How can you, a little kid, touch hot water? Be careful not to get burned." Song Jinxiu took the ladle from Liu Ankang's hand.
Liu Ankang looked at the half bucket of hot water at the bottom, "You just watched here for most of the day and didn't know that I was scooping hot water?"
Song Jinxiu helped him carry the water to the bathroom with a guilty conscience, but Liu Ankang was too small to lift it.
Then he brought in half a bucket of cold water.
The next day, Song Jinxiu got up quietly and washed up. He didn't make breakfast in the morning. There was plenty of food at home anyway, so he wouldn't starve. Someone would cook for him at noon and in the evening.
I secretly ate breakfast in the room and then tiptoed out.
The gate slowly closed, great, without making any sound.
Song Jinxiu breathed a sigh of relief. Today, she could have some fun on her own! Hahahaha!!
"Ahhhh!!!" When he turned around, he saw Liu Ankang standing behind him.
"You naughty kid, don't you know that scaring others can kill them?" Song Jinxiu quickly pinched her ears. Not afraid, not afraid.
It took a long time to comfort myself.
"Why are you up so early? When did you end up standing outside?" Song Jinxiu touched his hand. Fortunately, it was still warm. He even remembered to wear a light coat.
"Just a little earlier than you." Liu Ankang said.
In fact, he had woken up a long time ago, washed up and had some cakes. He was listening to the noises in the yard in the room. Only when he heard her get up did he get dressed and go out.
"What a troublesome guy. Have you had breakfast? Did you bring water?" Song Jinxiu cursed!
Now that you’re awake, just take it with you!
"I ate it and took it with me!" Liu Ankang replied.
Halfway through the journey, I met four aunts.
"Aunt, where are you going?" Song Jinxiu asked.
"Are you okay? We seemed to hear some noise from you just now, so we came to check it out!" said one of the aunts.
"It's okay, An An was standing behind me and scared me, so I screamed!" Song Jinxiu said embarrassedly.
I don't think I was screaming very loudly, right? This is so embarrassing!
"I'm glad you're okay. Let's go together. There aren't many people going today, just one ox cart. Everyone should be here by the time you get there!" said Lai Di's aunt.
"This is Aunt Chunhua, Grandma Daniu, Aunt Hua and Aunt Daidi." Aunt Daidi introduced them one by one.
"Thank you, aunts!" Song Jinxiu greeted everyone one by one.
By the way, I secretly looked at my brother-in-law's aunt. She doesn't look like my brother-in-law's aunt at all. They should not be sisters!
When they reached the oxcart, everyone was there. They were no longer surprised that Liu Ankang had followed them.
The one driving the cart was Old Qiu, and all the young men were forced to farm.
Those who go to the market today also have important responsibilities, and they carry lists of supplies that others need!
So, it’s obvious that Song Jinxiu is just a soy sauce!
"The town's atmosphere is being strictly rectified now!" said an aunt.
"I heard about it too. Last time, a scoundrel climbed over the wall and peeped at a little girl bathing.
"We found out he was a repeat offender who usually steals. Do you know what happened?" another aunt said mysteriously.
"What's wrong?" someone asked.
"It just snapped off." The auntie made a gesture as if she was banging her head.
"Hiss..." There was a sound of gasping.
"What's the big deal? There are also street fights. Two people fought and smashed things in someone else's store, and they refused to pay compensation.
"He was directly imprisoned. In the end, his family had to pay compensation, but he didn't come out. He was supposedly incarcerated to receive an education," said my aunt.
"That's just giving money away for free. It's a huge loss," someone said.
"Of course, we also lost a lot of food!" said my aunt.
"Why are you giving me the meal as compensation? Is it an apology?" everyone asked in confusion.
"The food and accommodation are provided there. Once the family pays, if the time is shortened, won't they lose a lot of food?" said the aunt.
"Hahaha..." Everyone burst into laughter!
Song Jinxiu pricked up her ears to listen to their gossip, which she couldn't hear normally!
"Xiao Song, how old are you this year? What kind of partner do you want to find?" Song Jinxiu was happily eating melon, but who knew that she would end up eating it herself.
"My father passed away last year. I plan to observe mourning for him for three years. I don't plan to think about marriage in these years." Song Jinxiu said with her head down.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Song, I didn't know." said a sturdy aunt.
After saying that, he slapped his mouth lightly and said, "Look at my loose mouth."
"You are never careful in what you say and do." A thinner aunt next to her poked her forehead and said.
"It's great to be open-minded and have no worries! Anyway, you can help me think about other things." These two aunts have been best friends for decades and married into the village together.
The two families' houses were built next to each other, and their relationship was so good that even their husbands were jealous.
Of course, this was what Aunt Cuihua told Song Jinxiu later.
