Su Qingci was exhausted. Unlike in later times, there were no cars available for her to go out.
Currently, the only long-distance transportation is by train, so train stations are always packed with people.
For short distances, except for bus stops where there might be shuttle buses, most people rely on walking or cycling.
Although Su Qingci and Song Jingzhou caught the bus that came down from the army, the bus only went as far as Fuxing Street, the most bustling street in the city.
It's still several kilometers to walk back from Fuxing Street.
The crucial point is that the two of them hadn't even gone out on their bicycles yet.
As soon as she entered the street entrance of Liuxiang Port, Su Qingci plopped down on the stone embankment next to her.
Her body had been lacking exercise for a long time, and suddenly walking such a long distance made her legs feel sore and heavy.
Putting aside her past life, even in this life in Gaotang Brigade, apart from working half a day cutting beans during last year's harvest season, she has never worked this hard.
"Don't sit down, get up quickly, we'll be home soon."
Song Jingzhou knew that this pampered girl was tired, but they were outside, and there were neighbors everywhere in the alley. It wouldn't be right for him to carry her around.
It's possible that the good image he just left for Grandma Li will be ruined by those gossipy women.
"No, no, I'll rest a bit more. You can go first."
"From now on, I must ride a bicycle when I go out."
At this point, Su Qingci looked at Song Jingzhou with disdain. If she were acting alone, she would have released the farm's vehicle long ago.
Song Jingzhou coaxed, "It's already dark, and I still have to go back and cook. If you ask Su Jindong to cook, do you believe he'll steam buns?"
"Don't you dislike steamed buns? I'll make you rice."
"I'm not leaving."
"They're not far away."
"I'm not leaving."
A hint of mockery flashed in Song Jingzhou's eyes. "Are you sure you're not leaving? You'll regret it."
"Regret my ass."
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Jingzhou braced himself on Su Qingci's shoulders with both hands, and with a high leap, he flew over her head like a roc spreading its wings.
Seeing this, several children chasing after the cat clapped their hands and burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, did you all see that? That woman got stepped over, she's not going to grow any taller."
Another, slightly larger doll, looking like a little adult, said very seriously to Su Qingci, "Sister, don't be afraid, quickly spit three times."
"Like this, spit, spit, spit~ and then stomp on the ground three times, and that's the solution."
After saying that, the other person looked at her very seriously, gesturing for her to follow along quickly.
Su Qingci finally came to her senses and jumped up.
"Damn it, bring glory to your ancestors! Don't run away, you stop right there, or I'll beat you to death!"
"Aaaaaah! How dare you step over my head? You stop right there!"
Song Jingzhou ran ahead like a ghost chasing him, his smile undisguised. "Who told you not to move? I'm not going to stop."
"I told you not to regret it, how come you suddenly have the energy?"
Su Qingci was so angry she felt like her lungs were about to explode. She followed closely behind, her short legs practically smoking, but she still couldn't catch up.
They finally caught him at the door, but before they could even throw a couple of punches, Su Jindong and Li Yueniang, filled with righteous indignation, rescued Song Jingzhou.
Hearing the clanging sound of Su Qingci's hammer striking Song Jingzhou's back, Li Yueniang protectively shielded him behind her with a look of heartache.
"Stop, you're not allowed to fight anymore."
"Qingci, what are you doing? Don't keep bullying Comrade Xiao Song."
"Grandma, you're being unfair! He's the one bullying me!"
With a look of fear on his face, Song Jingzhou stammered, "Grandma, when Qingci entered the alley, she insisted that she couldn't walk anymore and wanted me to carry her."
“With so many neighbors watching, I was afraid it would have a bad influence on her, so I didn’t give in to her, and then she hit me.”
Li Yueniang glared at him, "Xiao Song did the right thing. You have to be careful about your image, otherwise those gossipy people will talk your way out of your life."
"Don't take advantage of someone's honesty and bully them!"
Su Qingci pointed at Song Jingzhou, "Grandma, it was him, he stepped over my head."
She was too embarrassed to say the rest.
Song Jingzhou raised an eyebrow, his face full of schadenfreude, but he said humbly, "From what? Qingci, if I did something wrong, tell me properly, and I will definitely correct it."
Su Qingci's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets; this green tea movie star.
Li Yueniang slapped away Su Qingci's hand, which was pointing fiercely at Song Jingzhou.
"What are you doing? Don't scare Comrade Song!"
Song Jingzhou breathed a sigh of relief. "Grandma, never mind, Qingci didn't do it on purpose anyway. It's time to cook. I'm going to cook."
"Hey, hey, you just got back. You should rest for a bit. Let Jin Dong cook."
"Grandma, let me do it. I just bought a piece of tofu on the street. Qingci likes my cooking, and I want to show you some respect. Please let me do it."
Seeing Song Jingzhou's efficient and decisive manner, Li Yueniang was even more satisfied.
He has a good temper, is good-looking, is observant, filial to his elders, and courteous to his brothers. He is truly a good grandson-in-law.
He turned around and glared at Su Qingci, then tapped her head with his finger.
"You're only good-natured because of Comrade Song's good temper; you can bully him however you want."
"Let me tell you, don't go too far."
Su Qingci was in a bad mood. She felt that her grandmother no longer loved her and that she had fallen out of favor.
Once inside the courtyard, Song Jingzhou brought water for her to wash her hands.
Under Li Yueniang's supervision, Su Qingci obediently washed her hands, constantly giving Song Jingzhou murderous looks.
Song Jingzhou looked smug, his eyebrows dancing up and down, giving off an incredibly arrogant vibe. He performed an extreme face-changing act, switching back and forth between a wronged person and someone who wanted to be beaten up.
Su Qingci was so angry she felt an itch in her stomach. She went into the living room, picked up an apple, and made a crunching sound as if Song Jingzhou was biting into it.
But Su Jindong, that guy, seemed oblivious to people's expressions, and just kept trying to get close to them out of sheer boredom.
"Qingci, where did you get your apples?"
Su Qingci took another bite with a crunch, gritting her teeth as she said, "I gave birth to her myself."
Su Jindong paused for a moment, then asked, "How did things go today? Why are you back so late?"
"The shuttle buses must have stopped running by now, right? How did you get back?"
Su Qingci took another bite of the apple with a crunch. "We rode birds back."
Su Jindong.....
"Su Qingci! Can't you speak properly?"
Su Qingci rolled her eyes. "Who told you to ask such a pointless question?"
"This apple wasn't bought, so did I steal it?"
"How did you get back without a car? Did you not walk back? Did I fly back?"
Su Jingdong was about to explode, "Su Qingci, what happened to you after you went out? You used to be so well-behaved and sensible!"
"Let me tell you, only Comrade Song can put up with you. Be careful, he might run away one day, and then you'll be crying."
Su Qingci rolled her eyes again, expressionless. "Mama~"
“Grandma, Su Jindong scolded me. He said I shouldn’t have come back. He said I’m not a good girl and that I’ll be abandoned sooner or later.”
