Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.
Song Zhi had just come back from serving the meal when he saw that they were all frightened, so he quickly spoke up to ease the atmosphere.
"Dad, don't be so serious. You scared them all."
She picked up a piece of food for Song Anshan with her chopsticks before explaining.
"The child's matter has nothing to do with them. I have been very grateful for their care over the past few months. If it weren't for their help, I wouldn't have recovered so well."
Song Anshan was just testing the waters, but when he heard Song Zhi say that, his expression softened a little and he thanked them along with the others.
"Thank you for taking care of Zhizhi."
Nie Jinmei waved her hand quickly, and Rong Zhengqing also said hurriedly: "We are friends, this is what should be done. Uncle, there is no need to be so polite."
Ran Qiu didn't say anything, but smiled at Song Anshan.
After lunch, Nie Jinmei and Rong Zhengqing cleaned up the mess, while Ran Qiu helped take care of the children.
Song Zhi took Song Anshan for a walk in Ashun Village.
"Tell me about your past year here."
Song Anshan asked suddenly with his hands behind his back.
Song Zhi was stunned for a moment before slowly telling what had happened in the past year.
"When we first went to the countryside, the brigade assigned us a task: picking cotton. I even won first place a few times. Not long after, an avalanche caused the educated youth dormitory to collapse..."
Memories gradually emerged in front of Song Zhi. Now that she talked about it, she felt that these things seemed to have happened a long time ago.
The days go by so fast.
When she mentioned that there was no place to live due to an avalanche, Song Anshan felt a sharp pain in his heart.
Song Zhi never talked about these things, and the telegrams she sent back always reported good news but never bad news.
If he hadn't asked casually today, Song Anshan would probably never have known it in his life.
"Luckily, Ran Qiu took us in and rented us a room..."
When Song Zhi said this, she looked up and found that Song Anshan's expression was a little strange. She immediately stopped talking and started talking about other happy things.
"Actually, I didn't suffer much. Ran Qiu and Jin Mei cook delicious food. In the winter, we roast sweet potatoes while the stove is burning. We can also go out and have snowball fights. There are also movies shown in the brigade. There are always a lot of people during the movie showings. It's really lively!"
Listening to Song Zhi's vivid description, Song Anshan was also moved by her, and his originally depressed mood eased a lot.
Song Zhi had been paying attention to his expression, and only then did he feel slightly relieved when he saw this.
She didn't want her father to worry about her.
"I haven't been to Ashun Village much, so today is a good time for us to go for a stroll."
After Song Zhi finished speaking, he said to Song Anshan.
When she moved into Ashun Village, her belly was already quite noticeable. In order not to expose it, she stayed in the yard all day and did not go out. She had indeed not yet had a good time exploring Ashun Village.
It is a rare opportunity to have such an opportunity nowadays, especially with close people, so Song Zhi is very happy.
At this time, in the army.
Tang Junhe also received news that Song Anshan had come to Anyang County.
"When did it arrive?" Tang Junhe immediately put down the pen and put the cap back on, and asked.
"He just arrived this morning. I heard he went to see Song Zhiqing. He should be with Song Zhiqing now."
The soldier who delivered the message answered immediately.
Tang Junhe was silent for a while, then he wrote a report and asked for leave, bought some gifts, and went to Ashun Village.
When he arrived, Song Anshan was sitting in the yard chatting with Ran Qiu.
I don't know what the two were talking about, but they looked very happy.
Song Zhi brought some fruits out of the kitchen for the two of them. When she saw Tang Junhe standing at the gate of the yard, her expression froze.
She now gets nervous reflexively when she sees him.
Especially now that Song Anshan is still here.
The strings in her head suddenly tightened.
She quickly put down the fruits in her hands and walked towards him quickly.
"What are you doing here?"
Hearing her tone, Tang Junhe's eyes darkened slightly.
Is she really so unwelcoming to me?
He looked a little unhappy, and pursed his lips and said, "I heard that Uncle Song was here, so I came to see him. This is a gift for him."
He handed over what he was holding.
It was not something valuable, just some tea leaves he had collected, but it was what Song Anshan liked.
Song Anshan was having a great conversation with Ran Qiu at this time and had not noticed the movement here.
After chatting with Ran Qiu for a while, Song Anshan just felt that Ran Qiu was a good-looking and well-behaved person, and he was also gentle to others.
Song Anshan had a good impression of him, but his family was a little poor, and he had adopted three children at a young age, which put too much burden on his family.
Tang Junhe looked at Song Anshan's expression, and his eyes became a little deeper.
He walked over and greeted Song Anshan.
"Uncle Song."
Only when he heard his voice did Song Anshan turn around.
When he saw him, Song Anshan remembered what Song Zhi had said to him. Even though Song Zhi said he was completely unaware of it, if it weren't for him, his daughter wouldn't have suffered like this.
Song Anshan couldn't help but vent his anger on him, and he wasn't as warm to him as usual, just nodded lightly.
"Jun He is here too. Your troops must be very busy. How come you still have time to come?"
"I heard Uncle Song was here, so I came to see him."
Tang Junhe keenly noticed his unusual attitude. He responded humbly and politely, but his eyes fell on Ran Qiu.
"Just keep busy with your own things. There's no need to come over to see me."
Song Anshan said lightly again.
"Thank you for taking care of Zhizhi during this time when she was in the countryside."
"It's my duty." Tang Junhe said, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart because of Song Anshan's distant and polite attitude.
Tang Junhe not only brought a gift for Song Anshan, but also prepared a gift for Song Zhi.
"This is for you. Open it and see if it fits?"
He handed over the bag in his hand.
Song Zhi took it in surprise and saw a pair of black women's leather shoes inside. The style was very fashionable and had never been seen in this town. It should be a popular style in the city. I don't know how he got it.
The leather of the shoes looks very good, and the price is probably not cheap.
Song Zhi didn't want to accept it and returned it immediately.
"I don't want it."
The next second, Tang Junhe stuffed the bag back into her hands.
"I bought it for you. If you don't want it, no one else will want it and you'll just have to throw it away."
When Song Zhi heard that such nice little leather shoes had to be thrown away, she felt a little sad.
After thinking about it, she reluctantly accepted it. At worst, she could find a reason to send a return gift after a while.
Seeing that she accepted it, Tang Junhe smiled slightly. Looking at the red marks on her neck that had not yet faded, he asked, "Does your neck still hurt? Have you applied any medicine recently?"
"have."
Song Zhi turned sideways, answered quickly, and gave him a look.
She didn't want Song Anshan to know about this, as he would be worried again.
Tang Junhe immediately understood what she meant and didn't ask any more questions.
