Song Jinxiu looked around and found that it was indeed her room.
Liu Ankang ran in from outside: "What's wrong?"
He heard Song Jinxiu's cry outside and quickly ran in to check!
"It's okay, it's okay, go out, go out quickly!" When Song Jinxiu saw Liu Ankang, she immediately remembered the scene in her dream.
Then he immediately thought of what happened at noon, and embarrassment suddenly surged in his heart.
She felt that she couldn't face him for the next two days.
After confirming that Song Jinxiu was fine, Liu Ankang obediently walked out.
I have thought about telling her about this, but I never thought of using such a drastic method. It seems I need to give her a few days to calm down.
In the evening, Liu Ankang brought the meal into the room and said, "Put it in the kitchen after you finish eating. I'll wash it later."
Also, don't stay in your room all the time. I have a research project to do these two days. Please keep an eye on the door so that you don't miss someone coming." Liu Ankang said, put down the bowl and went out.
Song Jinxiu pretended to be asleep on the bed. She had been planning to hide in her room for the next two days. Since Liu Ankang was going to study a project, she might as well go out and get some fresh air.
Imagination is beautiful, but the reality is that after sleeping for a night, I was called by Aunt Cuihua the next day to wash leeks in preparation for making leek cakes for tomorrow.
As for Liu Ankang, he used the excuse that he had to study at home and didn't need to help.
Song Jinxiu breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she didn't have to face him, everything was fine.
Then, the moment her hands dipped into the cold water, she regretted it.
What embarrassment? It doesn't exist. An An, come and save me.
She forgot that only her family used hot water when washing vegetables, while others washed them directly with cold water. She had forgotten this when she was picking leeks just now.
"You go do something else, I'll wash it." Aunt Cuihua knew that Song Jinxiu was delicate, but she didn't expect that she couldn't even touch cold water. But after thinking about it, she could understand it.
Girls should avoid touching cold water if possible.
"It's okay, it's just a little cold when I first got in the water. It will be fine after soaking for a while." Song Jinxiu smiled.
Today I have to wash the leeks, and I can’t let Aunt Cuihua wash them herself.
After she finished speaking, she was dragged up by someone. It turned out to be Liu Ankang.
He used a towel to dry her hands and said, "I've finished reading the book. You're taking your time washing the leeks. Go do something else."
He had originally planned not to come today for fear of embarrassing her, but the more he thought about it, the more worried he became.
I usually don’t want her to wash the dishes with hot water, let alone wash them with cold water, so she came over anyway.
"You despise me?" Song Jinxiu complained. "Humph, I'm going to help my uncle. I won't be hanging out with you guys anymore."
After saying that, he turned around and ran to the village chief to ask if he needed any help.
Song Jinxiu thought: Actually, I was just overthinking it. He was the child I raised, and it was just an accident. There was nothing to be embarrassed about.
The distance between the two seemed to have quietly narrowed a little.
Liu Ankang sat in Song Jinxiu's seat and helped Aunt Cuihua wash vegetables.
Aunt Cuihua smiled when she saw the two of them getting along. Their relationship is still so good!
"Aunt, you should go and have a rest for a while. I can do it myself." Liu Ankang said to Aunt Cuihua.
"No need. How long will it take you to wash so many clothes?" Aunt Cuihua said with a smile.
"Then you should sit for a while and then take a rest. Bending over for too long is not good for your waist," said Liu Ankang.
"Okay, I'll go rest when I feel sore." Aunt Cuihua said.
The two of them stopped talking and concentrated on washing the leeks.
Both of them were quick and finished washing quickly.
Liu Ankang asked Aunt Cuihua to go and have a rest while he helped spread out the chives to drain the water.
Aunt Cuihua pounded her waist and sat aside. She is really old!
"Auntie, let me help you massage your waist!" Seeing this, Song Jinxiu hurried over and sat behind Aunt Cuihua to help her massage her waist.
"Lie down on the bed. I've learned a new massage technique. Let's try it out." Song Jinxiu said.
"No need, there's no need to be so delicate. Just sit down and rest for a while." Aunt Cuihua said with a smile.
The main task today is to wash the leeks, and the other odds and ends will be done quickly.
Liu Ankang has grown up and can do things like slaughtering chickens and ducks with Jin Heping.
Song Jinxiu and Aunt Cuihua can just sit nearby and watch.
Song Jinxiu would occasionally make comments and stir up trouble.
The next day, before dawn, Liu Ankang drove an ox cart to the town to pick up the three members of the Xia family, Brother Dazhu and Aunt Zhou.
We brought everything we needed last time, so this time we just traveled light.
A few of us had already agreed last time that when we arrived we would take the bus directly to town, which would be much faster than a ox cart.
It is also convenient to pick you up in town by ox cart.
Song Jinxiu said that they would go to pick her up together, but Liu Ankang didn't wake her up because she was sleeping so soundly.
Go pick her up yourself, and by the time she wakes up she will be almost there.
Sure enough, when the group returned home, they saw Song Jinxiu looking at Liu Ankang with a resentful face: "Didn't you agree that I would go pick him up even if you woke me up?"
"What's the point of answering him so early in the morning? An An, there's nothing we can do. Why do you have to get up when you can sleep? We are a family and there's no need to be so polite." Before Liu Ankang could speak, Xia's father spoke first.
"That's right, we have no choice. Otherwise, who would want to go out in the wind so early in the morning?" Xia's mother also agreed!
"Uncle and aunt, you guys take a rest first, I'll go home first!" Dazhu stood behind the group and interrupted them while they were talking!
"Then I'll go back first!" Aunt Zhou also said.
"Okay, you guys go back quickly. I'll visit you at home later!" Mother Xia said to the two of them.
Dazhu drove the ox cart and took Aunt Zhou away, saving Liu Ankang from having to make another trip.
"Uncle and aunt, please rest at home first. I'm going to my aunt's house to help make chive cakes." said Liu Ankang.
This year, my aunt not only took care of the share for Song Jinxiu's family, but also for Aunt Zhou, so the quantity is quite a lot!
"Then go ahead, we'll tidy up and help later.
I don’t know how to make chive cakes yet, but I heard Xiuxiu likes them, so I’ll go and learn.” said Xia’s mother.
"Then I'll help at home and take my parents there later." Song Jinxiu said to Liu Ankang.
"Okay." Then everyone went about their business.
The main purpose is to put things away. There are many people this year, but there are only two rooms, and everyone doesn't want to live separately.
So Xia's mother and Song Jinxiu shared a room, Xia's father and Xia Xingchen slept in Liu Ankang's big bed, and Liu Ankang put a small bed in the room.
In fact, Liu Ankang could go and live with Jin Heping, but he didn't want to go.
I have a little thought in my heart that living together makes us feel like a family.
Song Jinxiu and the others packed up a bit and headed towards their aunt's house.
When we got to my aunt's house, we found Aunt Zhou was there too. We were all sitting together, chatting and working happily.
There is strength in numbers, and the work was done in no time.
