After everyone left, Zhang Sitong asked, "Ruoli, do you think we can get our lost money back?"
Su Ruoli said: "That's not certain, who knows? Now we can only pray that the police can help and find the thief."
"Don't think about it for now, let's clean up the house first. Look at what this wicked guy has done to the room. Don't let me know who did it."
Zhang Sitong sniffed and said, "But both of our money was stolen. How are we going to survive these days? I don't know how long it will take for my family to send us more money."
Su Ruoli raised her hand and pinched Zhang Sitong's face, saying, "Don't worry, I won't let you go hungry. If I have a bite of rice, I will have a bite of porridge."
"Why are you so nice!" Zhang Sitong said, shaking Su Ruoli's arm.
"Hurry up and clean up. If you don't, we won't be able to sleep tonight. I'll make you something delicious later." Su Ruoli pushed Zhang Sitong and said.
Zhang Sitong then returned to her room. It was already dark. It felt fine in the yard, but once she entered the house it was so dark that she couldn't see anything.
They could only clean up with a flashlight. Su Ruoli cleaned up much faster and put all the dirty things into the space.
Then take out clean ones from the space and replace them, and all that’s left is to wipe the table and sweep the floor.
Su Ruoli had just left the room and was about to find a broom to sweep the floor when she heard a knock on the door.
Helpless! She could only turn around and open the door. Who would come to their place so late?
Su Ruoli opened the door and looked at the four people standing outside. She was a little confused. The four people standing outside were Tongzhiying, Liu Jinhua, Lu Jinyan and Liu Kaifan.
"Aunt Aying, Sister Jinhua, Jinyan, Liu Kaifan, why are you here so late?" Su Ruoli asked puzzledly.
Tongzhi Ying spoke first, "Ruoli girl, I've heard about what happened in your family. Don't be sad. Trust the police and they will help you get it back."
"Aunt Ying, I also believe that the public security comrades will help us find it."
Tongzhi Ying took the basket from Liu Jinhua and handed it to Su Ruoli, saying, "Ruoli girl, please keep this little bit of food. It's a little small, so don't despise it. These days, even a rich aunt can't give it enough."
Su Ruoli pushed it back and said, "Aunt Ying, no need. You can take the food back. We have something to eat."
Tongzhi Ying said with a stern face, "The old ladies in the village have said that your kitchen has been emptied. If you have any food, put it away quickly and think of it as your aunt lending it to you."
This girl definitely doesn't want to owe anyone a favor, so she refuses to accept it.
Liu Jinhua also chimed in, "Ruoli, just keep it. After the autumn harvest, we can distribute the grain. You can return it to us then."
She really did have food to eat. He had hidden all her food, and she even had space. She had no shortage of food at all.
But she couldn't say all this, it seemed like she had to owe these favors.
Lu Jinyan also quickly handed over the things in her hand and said, "Sister Ruoli, this is a little gift from me. You and Sitong haven't had dinner yet, right?
Take this to fill your stomach tonight. Our food is stored together with the other people's food at the educated youth camp, and it's not easy for us to take it out. Take this snack for now. We won't share the food with them after the autumn harvest."
As she spoke, Lu Jinyan took out a handful of banknotes from her pocket and handed them to Su Ruoli, saying, "Oh, yes! Here are some banknotes, Sister-in-law Ruoli, take them first. The kitchen stuff and other things all need money. Don't think it's too little. I'll write to my brother tomorrow and ask him to give me some more money. I'll give it all to you then."
Su Ruoli wanted to say that there was no need to do so, as her brother's passbooks were all with her.
My eyes are just hot and I feel like crying. What's going on?
They have only known each other for a short time, but they are able to help each other in times of need. The relationship between people is really amazing.
Liu Kaifan saw Su Ruoli standing there in a daze, not reaching out to take the thing.
He said, "Sister-in-law, just take it quickly. It's getting late. You should finish cleaning up and rest early."
Hey! I owe you a favor, so I owe it to you. She took the things and the money and said, "Then consider these as loans from you. I'll return them to you after the food is distributed."
Tongzhi Ying saw Su Ruoli take Lu Jinyan's things, and quickly put himself in Su Ruoli's hand and said, "That's right, take it in quickly, we should go back too."
Su Ruoli's eyes were slightly red with emotion, and she said with a nasal voice: "Aunt Aying, Sister Jinhua, Jinyan, Liu Kaifan, thank you."
Tongzhiying raised her hand and patted Su Ruoli's arm, saying, "Hey! Look at you, kid, you don't like crying. Go in and clean up quickly. Auntie will go back first."
Lu Jinyan said, "Sister-in-law Ruoli, we are going back too."
Su Ruoli said: "Auntie, please go slowly. It's just that I didn't even give you a drink of water. I..."
Tongzhi Ying said, "We're not thirsty, why would we drink water? Stop standing at the door and go back!"
After everyone left, Su Ruoli carried the things back to the kitchen, put them down, and went to see how Zhang Sitong had cleaned up.
The lights in Zhang Sitong's room were on, but it looked a little dim. Su Ruoli knocked on the door and asked, "Sitong, are you done?"
Zhang Sitong was working hard to put on the quilt. When she heard Su Ruoli's voice, she looked up and asked, "It will be done soon. What's wrong, Ruoli?"
Su Ruoli said, "It's okay. Aunt Aying and Jinyan came over just now and brought some food and money. I put them in the kitchen."
"Ah? They were here, but I didn't hear any sound?" Zhang Sitong said as she scratched her ears with her little finger.
"Maybe you cleaned it too seriously!" Su Ruoli said.
"Come and help me, the quilt is too difficult to put on."
Su Ruoli looked at the quilt that was crumpled into a ball, and her eyes twitched. This was how she always put on the quilt.
Su Ruoli walked over to help pull two corners, and Zhang Sitong sorted out the other two corners.
After tidying up, the two of them lifted the quilt and shook it to make it smooth.
Zhang Sitong let out a long sigh, "Huh! Finally done."
Let’s go wash up first and see if there’s anything to eat to fill our stomachs.
"Let's go. By the way, where did you hide the kitchen things?" Zhang Sitong then remembered that all the kitchen things had been hidden by Su Ruoli.
"Of course it's hidden in a very secret place. Let's go, let's do it tonight." Su Ruoli pulled Zhang Sitong away, obviously not wanting to dwell on this topic too much.
Zhang Sitong didn't ask any more questions. After all, the food was still there, so she wouldn't go hungry for the next few days. She followed Su Ruoli's steps and went to wash up together.
