I just had a quick bite at noon and now I'm starving, especially after just going through intense exercise.
Several people quickly washed their hands, and Song Jinxiu helped to carry the bowls. By the time she was done, Liu Ankang's last dish was also finished.
After eating and drinking, Song Jinxiu helped to clean up the dishes.
"No need, you go play with them. I'll do it." Liu Ankang said as he took the things from Song Jinxiu's hand.
"You are really my sister's caring little cotton-padded jacket!" Song Jinxiu pinched Liu Ankang's face and said.
Because he was holding something in both hands, Liu Ankang couldn't dodge in time and was easily captured by Song Jinxiu.
Song Jinxiu ran to chat with her sisters contentedly.
Alas, the children have grown up and are no longer clingy!
"You little Song, you go to destroy my vegetable garden as soon as you come back." There was a loud noise outside the door, and Song Jinxiu's door was pushed open.
A fat woman walked in angrily.
Song Jinxiu immediately jumped up and hid behind the three of them and said, "It's not me, it's not me, it's the three of them. Look, the evidence is still in our hands."
The three men looked at the woman in front of them, then looked at the tomatoes in their hands. They didn't know whether to eat them or put them down. They turned their heads and looked at Song Jinxiu in disbelief.
No wonder she said to wait when I asked her to eat just now. Did she know that someone would come to her house?
"Um, Auntie, I'm sorry, can we compensate you?" Shangguan Jiao said softly after swallowing the tomato in her mouth.
Although he didn't pick the fruits himself, he did eat them and helped to keep watch, so he can be considered an accomplice.
"Oh, they're just a few small tomatoes, why should I pay you for them? If you girls like them, I'll pick some more for you to take home tomorrow." The woman looked at the three girls in front of her.
She instantly put away her ferocious face and spoke with a smile on her face, like a kind aunt next door.
This confused the three of them. Was he here to cause trouble?
The three of them looked at Song Jinxiu in confusion.
Song Jinxiu covered her heart and said sadly, "Fatty, you are biased. Why don't you treat me like this?"
"You don't even dare to come to my house when you get to the doorstep, and you still expect me to show you a good attitude. It's a good thing that I didn't chase you with a big broom today." Aunt Fat said as she sat on the stool.
"That's not possible. I don't have anything with me. I'd feel embarrassed to go in empty-handed." Song Jinxiu smiled and took out a box of cold cream from behind her.
"Look. I brought this specially for you. Aunt Hua doesn't have it!" Song Jinxiu said in a low voice.
"What don't I have?" Another woman came in from outside the door. It was none other than Aunt Hua.
"Aunt Hua came at the right time. I just told Aunt Pang that you didn't come, and was going to ask her to bring it to you. It's just right that you came. Aunt Pang doesn't have to make an extra trip." Song Jinxiu hurried to greet her.
"Come on, you're here, so what else do you want to bring?" Song Jinxiu took the basket from Aunt Hua, which contained some fruits and vegetables.
"Oh, these are all my favorites. Thank you, Aunt Hua." Song Jinxiu put the dishes on the table and said to Liu Ankang with a smile, "An'an, remember to put the dishes away."
Then he took out another box of vanishing cream and handed it to Aunt Hua, "Look, I'm ready."
"Keep it for yourself. I haven't finished using the one you gave me last time." Aunt Hua said.
This vanishing cream is not cheap, so they can only afford to buy some clam oil to apply it on themselves.
"Since she doesn't want it, it's just right for me. I have a big face and I use it up quickly." Aunt Fat said.
"That won't do." Song Jinxiu quickly dodged the hand that Aunt Pang extended, "I have to treat everyone fairly, one box for each person." Then she stuffed the box into Aunt Hua's hand.
"Don't be reluctant to use it. Why keep it? Use it. When you're done, go to Aunt Pang and continue using it." Song Jinxiu said.
"Wow, I thought you bought more for me after you ran out of it! Turns out you've called me." Several people were talking back and forth.
Song Jinxiu would occasionally deflect blame, getting the other three to join in. Later, a few more aunts she knew came over, but they only sat for a few moments before leaving.
"You are so popular!" Su Jie said.
"Of course not. It's not an exaggeration to say that everyone loves me." Song Jinxiu said narcissistically.
"An An, where are we going to play tomorrow?" When Song Jinxiu agreed to take them out to play, she forgot that she was not good at finding her way. Fortunately, An An came along.
"There's a waterfall in the mountains. Would you like to go see it? It's a bit far, though. It'll take two or three hours to walk.
There are also some places that are closer, taking only one or two hours, such as the fruit forests, Eagle's Beak Slope and so on.
It’s not harvest season yet, so we can only enjoy the scenery.” Liu Ankang said.
"What do you think? I can do anything." Song Jinxiu looked at them.
She is no longer the Song Jinxiu from the past. Please call her Song *Sports Athlete* Jinxiu now.
They looked at each other, then decided to charge. It's only three hours, right? We can do it.
"What should we bring?" Song Jinxiu asked.
"Bring a pot and bowls! You can cook food or boil water there. You can also bring a kettle for drinking water on the way."
As for food, you can find sweet potatoes and mountain potatoes nearby. If you want eggs, just bring some eggs and seasonings." Liu Ankang said.
"Okay, I'll leave these to you." Song Jinxiu said to Liu Ankang.
Liu Ankang nodded.
A few people were discussing what the girls should bring. In the end, considering that they would have to carry it themselves, they made some cuts and reductions.
The next day, several people got up early. Liu Ankang had already steamed buns. In addition to eating them in the morning, they also wanted to bring some to eat on the mountain. Baked buns were also good.
Each person carried a bag and a water bottle, and each person also had a medicine bag hanging on his body.
This is a special medicine bag for repelling insects. Yesterday, Liu Ankang went to Mr. Jin to get it as a must-have item for going up the mountain.
Liu Ankang carried a backpack filled with pots and bowls, eggs, and two chickens that Song Jinxiu brought back from her outing yesterday.
No one asked where she came from, they just thought she had gone to some aunt's house to beg for money.
The four of them set off after they were ready. It was just dawn at that time. When they reached the foot of the mountain, they found that there were four young boys waiting for them.
Because Liu Ankang was afraid that he could not take care of the four children, he went to look for external help. He was afraid that it would sound bad if young and middle-aged people were told, so he found some teenagers.
Not only can he do his job, but he won't be gossiped about.
Anyway, the place we are going to is often visited by people, so there is no danger.
Liu Ankang handed each of them two steamed buns and divided the things in the backpack, letting each person carry a little.
Then he took Song Jinxiu's water bottle, and the group set off in a mighty manner!
"Wow, look at these flowers. They are so beautiful. Xiuxiu, can you make a wreath?" Zhao Tingting said, pointing to the wild flowers on the roadside.
"That's nothing, it's nothing." So a few people went over, each picking a bunch of flowers, ready to let Song Jinxiu make wreaths for them.
However, five minutes passed, and then ten minutes passed.
The flower in Song Jinxiu's hand was already missing some parts and was still scattered!
