While Song Shishi was still immersed in this emotion, Xu Li suddenly patted her arm anxiously.
She burst into laughter and let go of Xu Li.
Looking at Xu Li turning around and busying around in the kitchen, she felt warm in her heart.
"I'll do it."
"Am I too stupid? I can't even cook."
Xu Li was stir-frying quickly in the wok, pouting and feeling a little guilty.
Seeing that Xu Li really wanted to cook a meal for herself, Song Shishi did not intervene, but just stood quietly by her side.
…
So many things happened that day that Song Shishi was busy in the vegetable garden until very late before returning home.
...
...
As soon as she came back, Xu Li told her that Director Zhao from the library had sent her a letter.
In the letter, Director Zhao simply asked her if she could go to the library on September 15th, as he had something to tell her.
There is no need to keep an eye on the vegetable field for the time being. A trip to Qinghe Town won’t affect anything.
Anyway, I had already informed the team leader Zhou Jianguo before, and Zhou Jianguo agreed to let her take care of the vegetable garden temporarily.
Anyway, everyone’s task now is basically to harvest and plant vegetables, and what Song Shishi is doing now is also for the Huaiqing Brigade.
"Lili, I'm going to town tomorrow, do you want to go?"
The temperature difference between morning and evening is quite large now, and when Xu Li moved out of Xu Guiying's house, she didn't have many clothes.
Song Shishi thought about taking Xu Li to town and buying her some thicker clothes.
As for the quilt, she and Xu Li only had a thin quilt, so they must buy a thicker one.
Xu Li's eyes sparkled as she looked at her expectantly, "Is that really possible? Will it delay your work?"
"It's okay. You can read some books in the library. When I'm done with my work, I'll take you to buy clothes and quilts."
Song Shishi touched Xu Li's head.
Xu Li nodded, "Okay, but I'm not very literate and can't read books, but I can wait for you in the library."
"Didn't anyone teach you to read?"
Although she knew that Xu Li was always bullied at Xu Guiying's house, she always thought that Xu Li had learned some words before.
She was still a little surprised to see Xu Li shaking her head.
Xu Li lowered her head in a somewhat inferior manner, "My family was poor before, and after my parents passed away, my brother and I lived an even harder life. We had no chance to go to school, and we felt that being able to fill our stomachs was the happiest thing in the world.
Later, my brother went to the army and sent me to live with my aunt. My aunt thought I was troublesome, saying that I didn’t know how to do anything and that eating too much would be a waste of food, so she would not send me to school.
Song Shishi stepped forward and hugged Xu Li's shoulders, "It's okay, I will teach you how to read and write in the future, and our lives will only get better and better in the future."
In Song Shishi's eyes, Xu Li is actually very smart.
Many things can be learned once taught, and one is willing to endure hardships and put in the effort.
If I start teaching Xu Li to read from now on, three years later when the college entrance examination is resumed, she may have the opportunity to be admitted to university and start a different life.
"Can I? Sister, are you really willing to teach me?" Xu Li was a little unconfident.
Song Shishi said very seriously and affirmatively: "Of course, your life is up to you, and no one can arbitrarily control your life anymore." Song Shishi's eyes were firm, "You can boldly do whatever you want in the future, without any worries, and the same goes for me."
Xu Li's eyes suddenly turned red.
She was used to pleasing others. Even though she knew that Song Shishi was very good to her, she always felt that she would be abandoned if she didn't do something for her.
But until today, she suddenly felt that her worries were unnecessary.
"Xu Li, I hope you know that we are a family now, a real family, one that tolerates each other, helps each other, and will not abandon each other."
Song Shishi said this very seriously. She looked directly into Xu Li's eyes, just to give her enough confidence.
"Shishi, are you home?"
At this moment, Yang Huifang's voice suddenly came from outside the yard. The two looked at each other and walked out of the house.
Seeing them coming out, Yang Huifang stepped into the yard. "I came here just to tell you that Captain Chen is back and said that Zhou Yuan is fine. An Jinsheng thought the stab wound was not deep. He will probably be discharged after a few days in the hospital. But the police are guarding him all the time. Even if he is discharged, I'm afraid he won't be able to come back."
When Yang Huifang said this, her face was full of pride.
"It's really his fault. Why didn't you stab him to death? What about the educated youth named An?" Xu Li came up and asked.
"Captain Chen said that the police have not yet reached a conclusion on this matter. He will go to the town's police station tomorrow to inquire about the specific situation. I don't know what the situation is with An Zhiqing."
As she spoke, Yang Huifang carefully sized up Song Shishi's expression and said hesitantly, "After all, he made such a fuss just to save Shishi, and he was one of the educated youths who joined the team in the same batch as us, so I think there should be a good outcome, right?"
Song Shishi could see that Yang Huifang felt a little sympathetic towards An Jinsheng.
But if you think about it carefully, you can understand it.
Since An Jinsheng saved her today, she regarded it as compensation for the harm he had done to her in her previous life.
She had nothing to be particularly thankful for.
If it were someone else today, she would find ways to express her gratitude, but if that person was An Jinsheng, she would not do anything.
He owed her that.
After being reborn, she did not take the initiative to harm An Jinsheng, which was already very good to An Jinsheng.
"Huifang, thank you for coming all the way to tell me this."
She smiled and said thank you, then changed the subject and talked about going to town tomorrow.
"Xu Li and I will go together. If there is anything you want to buy, we will bring it back to you then."
Yang Huifang said enviously: "Ah... I really envy you guys. If I didn't have so little money, I would definitely go with you guys."
"I don't have anything to buy. I have enough food and supplies to live with everyone. Besides, I'm busy these days and it's hard to ask for leave."
Song Shishi did not tell anyone except Xu Li and team leader Zhou Jianguo that she went to the town to work as a translator.
So Yang Huifang naturally didn't know either.
After chatting about something else, Yang Huifang got up and left when she saw Song Shishi and the others were preparing to cook dinner.
Everyone is short of food now, and it is not easy for Song Shishi and Xu Li to live together. Yang Huifang doesn't want to bring burden to them, so when Song Shishi offered to keep her for dinner, she refused without hesitation.
The next day, Song Shishi rode a bicycle with Xu Li to Qinghe Town.
Pushing open the door of the library, she saw someone she didn't expect to see there.
Su Yaqin was actually in the library with Xiaobao, and it looked like they were waiting for her.
"Sister Qin?"
Su Yaqin stood up, walked over to her in surprise and held her hand, "I've been waiting for you here for a long time."
She looked at Su Yaqin, then glanced at Li Haoyang who was holding her hand.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?"
