Seeing her coming, Xu Li immediately stood up and greeted her.
Song Shishi handed a meal to Xu Li, "I cooked lunch at noon, you and Huifang share it."
"Sister, what about you?"
Xu Li took the food, opened the lid, saw the fragrant braised pork inside, swallowed her saliva and asked.
"Your elder brother Meng is here. He is helping me work on my private plot. I'll go over there to eat."
"Oh..." Xu Li showed an ambiguous expression on her face when she heard that.
She patted Xu Li and said, "Shaopin, hurry up and eat. I'm leaving now."
After saying that, she turned and left.
An Jinsheng, who was not far away, wanted to step forward, but Chen Hui held him back.
...
...
"team leader."
"I know that everyone is tolerant of you because of your status, but I still have to advise you not to take advantage of your status and do whatever you want. You won't be able to bear the consequences."
Chen Hui had good intentions, but because he saw An Jinsheng was always entangled with Zhou Xingxue and harassing Song Shishi from time to time, he was afraid that he would go astray, so he tried to persuade him with kind words.
But An Jinsheng didn't appreciate it at all. His eyes were indifferent and he said in a cold voice: "What did the captain say? Why don't I understand a word? As for whether I can bear the consequences or not, please don't worry about it."
After being interrupted by Chen Hui, when An Jinsheng looked up again and wanted to chase Song Shishi, she was gone.
…
"Xunzhou, take a break, it's time to eat."
When Song Shishi arrived at her private plot, Meng Xunzhou had already finished loosening the soil and was now sowing seeds.
Putting the basket of food on the ground, Song Shishi poured some water for him to wash his hands, and then handed him a towel to wipe his sweat.
Before there was no comparison, she thought that An Jinsheng's kindness to her was already the best.
Now that she saw Meng Xunzhou, she realized that An Jinsheng’s previous offer to help her was not really much of a help.
In her previous life, An Jinsheng always said that he would help her after he finished his work, but he would always come to help her when everyone was almost done with their work.
And when I helped her, I couldn't relieve her burden much.
But at that time, her heart and eyes were full of An Jinsheng, so as long as An Jinsheng took action, she felt very happy.
Looking back now, it just seems ridiculous.
She couldn't even see through such poor acting skills.
"Shishi."
Meng Xunzhou saw Song Shishi suddenly stopped moving, so he waved his hand in front of her eyes. When he saw that she had come back to her senses, he asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing, let's go eat, otherwise the food will get cold."
When Meng Xunzhou called her name just now, she always had a very familiar feeling.
…
It was the first time Meng Xunzhou ate the food cooked by Song Shishi, and he looked up at her in surprise several times.
"We've known each other for so many years, but I didn't even know you could cook, and your cooking skills are so good."
Song Shishi lowered her head shyly, "It's just edible, not as exaggerated as you say."
When Song Shishi is with Meng Xunzhou, she always feels nervous unconsciously.
But at the same time she was nervous, she also felt at ease.
Because she knew that Meng Xunzhou would not harm her.
He is different from An Jinsheng.
The two of them ate their meal and chatted casually.
"I was planning to give you my bicycle."
Upon learning that Su Yaqin had given Song Shishi a bicycle, Meng Xunzhou curled his lips.
"If you give me yours, how can you return to the army?"
"Run back, just treat it as training."
Meng Xunzhou's answer made Song Shishi laugh, "Are you stupid? I can make money now. Even if no one gives it to me, I can buy it myself."
"Yes, you have always been excellent." Meng Xunzhou nodded in agreement.
Song Shishi looked him up and down, "Why do I feel like you've changed a lot after returning from this mission?"
"What has changed?"
"I can't really put it into words, but I feel like you've become more talkative."
"Do you dislike me?"
"No, that's not what I meant. You're fine this way. I always thought you were dull and didn't like to talk to anyone. You had a cold face every day, as if someone owed you money."
Song Shishi recalled her previous impression of Meng Xunzhou when they were in the compound, and couldn't help but laugh and joke.
Meng Xunzhou raised his eyebrows slightly, "So this is how you used to look at me."
"Yeah, didn't anyone tell you?"
"No." Meng Xunzhou shook his head.
Song Shishi smiled and said, "But it's not surprising that no one has told you. Who among the children in the compound is not afraid of you?"
"You." Meng Xunzhou replied bluntly.
But she didn't react at all, and asked back: "What?"
"You are the only one who is not afraid of me." Meng Xunzhou looked at her steadily.
At this moment, she saw her own reflection in those eyes.
Almost subconsciously, she turned her eyes away and looked elsewhere.
"Can the two of us finish this shed in one afternoon?"
Song Shishi sensed the strange atmosphere between the two of them at this moment, so she cleared her throat and changed the subject.
Looking at the embarrassed expression on Meng Xunzhou's face, Song Shishi knew that this guy must know that it couldn't be done, but because of what he said before, he couldn't save face and couldn't save face.
Just when she was about to speak to comfort Meng Xunzhou, she heard Meng Xunzhou say, "I don't want to lie to you. To be honest, it's impossible for the two of us to build this shed in one afternoon."
His eyes were clear and his expression was sincere. "But don't worry, I'll call a few more brothers over tomorrow to help you. I'll try to get it done for you tomorrow."
Song Shishi still believed in the soldiers' promise.
And she would not doubt Meng Xunzhou's promise even more.
So she nodded and said thank you.
Meng Xunzhou frowned and said nothing.
She was busy until the sun went down. She wanted to keep Meng Xunzhou at home for dinner, but he said he had to rush back to the army for something, so she didn't try to persuade him.
When Xu Li came back, her face was always filled with smiles.
Song Shishi asked curiously: "Why are you so happy today? Did you find some money or something good happened?"
"This makes me happier than finding money." Xu Li came up and said, "Sister, you don't know, after you left at noon, that educated youth An and Brother Chen started arguing."
Song Shishi was puzzled: "An Jinsheng and Chen Hui?"
"Yes." Xu Li nodded. "Brother Chen kindly advised An Zhiqing to behave himself and not to rely on his status to do whatever he wanted and get involved with Zhou Xingxue. Who knew that he would actually anger An Jinsheng."
"Anyway, An Jinsheng said something very unpleasant later, saying that Brother Chen was using chicken feathers as a token of authority. Brother Chen was not jealous, saying that he only knew how to flatter his wife all day long."
Song Shishi shook her head when she heard this. "Don't get involved in this kind of fun. Be careful that one day someone might get angry and get you burned."
"I know, I was far away, but I just wanted to see An Zhiqing's miserable appearance.
Everyone is saying that he is the son of some leader, but I don’t think he looks like that at all.
How could there be a cadre's child like him, who only knows how to flirt with female comrades all day long and has no shame.
The problem is that Zhou Xingxue wants to climb up the social ladder and get entangled with him, but he doesn't refuse.
I get angry just seeing you turn around and try to pester me."
