If they had known this would happen, they should have gone out to meet that girl no matter what.
Then she added, "Where does she live now? I want to go with Weimin and the children to visit her."
Xu Changhua said helplessly, "She's taking the train tomorrow, saying she needs to go back to school. You'd better not go."
It takes quite a while to get to town from here, otherwise why would he not be back until dark?
By the time Weimin and the others arrived in town, it was probably almost dawn.
So he hurriedly said, "This time, the girl left her address and said she would send us seeds of a new plant developed by the agricultural university."
Xu Changhua laughed as he said this, "I even asked her if she had any fruit, because fruit is really hard to come by here."
Xu Wenying nodded. The adults didn't care, but the children suffered a bit.
However, for the future of this country, these sacrifices are worthwhile.
Everyone is doing their best to build this rising nation.
Some people are struggling in even more difficult circumstances than they are.
When their country becomes strong and prosperous, everyone will be able to eat and drink their fill and will no longer have to suffer the pain of war!
Xu Wenying was rational, so she nodded and wrote down the address of the girl who saved her.
Then he asked with a smile, "Why are you talking about plant seeds?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Changhua touched his nose and glanced guiltily at the girl who was serving everyone food.
If he hadn't been so talkative and brought up the girl's farming, Comrade Liu probably wouldn't have mentioned it.
So, all of this is just fate.
Seeing his expression, Xu Wenying probably realized something, so she smiled faintly and didn't ask any further questions.
Liu Shile spent the year alone in the desert.
When she returned to school, Wang Guangying brought her a lot of things.
It was mostly her older sister and Grandma Wang who asked Wang Guangying to help take care of them.
Wang Guangying did not come by car this time, but instead hitched a ride with Wang Xiaodong who was passing by.
In addition, Wang Guangying was quite strong, so all those things really didn't stump the girl.
Looking at these things, Liu Shile felt a warm feeling in her heart.
In this life, she is no longer alone; she is someone with family who cares about her.
Fortunately, it's winter, so the cooked sausages can be eaten now, though they'd taste even better if heated up.
As soon as Xu Manni arrived at the dormitory, she smelled a fragrance, but when she saw it was Liu Shile, she raised an eyebrow.
She had a very unpleasant New Year, spending most of her time thinking about how to deal with Liu Shile.
"Oh, Shile brought so much stuff home?" But she didn't directly criticize her; instead, she asked with a smile.
The cured meat and sausages smelled really good, even when they were cold.
Liu Shile glanced at her indifferently and nodded, "Yes, my family wants to give it to me, and there's nothing I can do about it."
She shrugged as she spoke, looking quite helpless.
Xu Manni...
Is that what I meant?
What I mean is, your family isn't well-off, is it? You come home and empty your house with lots of bags and packages, isn't that a bit much?
But she couldn't be so blunt, and Liu Shile didn't think too much about it, leaving her speechless.
"So your eldest and second eldest brothers have them too? I didn't realize your family was so well-off."
Immediately afterwards, Xu Manni spoke up again, sarcastically remarking that Liu Shile was hogging the food.
Liu Shile laughed, "Manny, it's such a waste of your talent for you to live here by the river. You should be living by the sea."
Well, people who live by the sea can't be so nosy, can they?
Unfortunately, Xu Manni didn't understand the joke in her words either.
So she just glanced at Liu Shile with some doubt. Although she didn't understand what she was saying, she had a feeling that it wasn't anything good.
So he got so angry that his breathing became heavier and his face turned slightly pale.
She took several deep breaths to calm herself down, then fearlessly asked Liu Shile, "Where's your cat? I haven't seen it."
At this moment, Liu Shile gave Xu Manni a serious look.
"Do you need something from my cat? Or do you want to treat it to something?"
My cat's favorite food is spicy dried fish. If you want to treat her, you'd better buy some dried fish first.
Xu Manni, I must be crazy to feed your dead cat!
Seeing Xu Manni so angry she could hardly breathe, Liu Shile felt happy.
Hmm, should I visit the Xu family another day?
Her family—oh no, I mean her cousin's family, which she talks about all the time—should have a lot of good stuff, right?
According to Lin Ziming, this man's cousin and he had broken off their engagement.
Therefore, strictly speaking, Xu Manni's so-called 'future brother-in-law' makes no sense at all.
Well, speaking of someone, that person is here. The dormitory supervisor is calling Liu Shile from downstairs.
"Liu Shile, as soon as you arrived, Brother Zimo came looking for you. What exactly is your relationship?"
When Xu Manni saw Liu Shile getting ready to leave, she couldn't help but ask.
Liu Shile glanced at her. "You seem to have a bad memory. Why should I tell you who I am or what my relationship is with? Who do you think you are?"
She's even more controlling than her biased mother.
Her biased stepmother has been behaving herself lately, probably because she lives far away and hasn't caused her any trouble.
She had finally managed to get some peace and quiet, but what was the meaning of Xu Manni constantly showing up to make her presence known?
Will she only behave if we really deal with her?
In that case, she could grant Xu Manni's small wish.
Thinking this, she ignored Xu Manni and left directly.
They also took away the cured meat and sausages.
There's nothing she can do if she doesn't take them; she can't leave these things in her dorm all the time.
Cooking is not allowed in the dormitory, so even if someone knows how to cook, they can't cook in the dormitory.
Didn't you see that the freckled girl next door had her stove and other things taken away?
Anyway, she had eaten a lot of good food from Lin Ziming, so giving him these as a return gift was quite appropriate.
"Your family seems to treat you well?" Lin Ziming quickly took the things from Liu Shile's hands and smiled.
He didn't investigate Liu Shile's situation, but he remembered that her second brother seemed to be quite protective of her.
Liu Shile nodded. "It's alright. Most of them were brought up by my older sister and Grandma Wang through intermediaries."
Lin Ziming made a mental note of the two of them, and then said, "Come on, let's go to my place for a meal, and pick up the materials list booklet while we're at it."
Liu Shile was about to refuse, but when she heard about the materials list, she nodded.
A smile flashed in Lin Ziming's eyes; sure enough, his strategy was correct.
The two chatted casually along the way, but most of the time Liu Shile did the talking while Lin Ziming listened.
Every now and then, he would ask a few related questions to keep Liu Shile talking.
At this point, Liu Shile was unaware that she felt quite relaxed when she was with Lin Ziming.
I was wary of him before, but now?
