The next day, when Jiang Zhining woke up, she found herself lying on the bed, with Xixi lying beside her.
"Mom." Xixi called softly.
Jiang Zhining quickly put her hand on her forehead and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she was no longer feverish. "That's good."
Xixi opened her arms and hugged Jiang Zhining, expressing her gratitude in a soft voice: "Thank you, Mom."
Gently stroking her head with her hand, Jiang Zhining said softly, "Since you call me mother, of course I have to take good care of you."
"If mom gets sick in the future, Xixi will take care of her." Xixi said coquettishly.
Smiling, she pinched her cheek: "Mom believes it."
The two of them lay in bed for a while, and when they were no longer so sleepy, Jiang Zhining got up.
There was a note on the table, left by Song Yuzhou.
Xixi's fever has subsided, so she should be fine. I made some porridge and asked for leave for Xixi. You should also rest well today and don't overwork yourself.
Jiang Zhining looked at the text and raised the corners of her mouth.
Song Yuzhou was like this. No matter how busy he was, he would arrange everything before going to the military camp.
"Mom, Xixi is so hungry that she's about to turn into a salted fish cake." Xixi patted her deflated belly.
Jiang Zhining said cooperatively, "It's true. Our Xixi has become thin and hungry. No, no, we have to go eat quickly."
Hearing this, Xixi, who was thin and hungry, giggled on the bed.
Saturday morning, Song Yuzhou is off today.
Because there was a puppet show in a nearby village, and Jiang Zhining and the children had never seen one, she thought of taking them to see it.
Jiang Zhining had never seen a puppet show before and seemed very excited.
"Xixi, hurry up, otherwise you won't be able to get a good seat." Song Ye urged.
It’s cold today, so Jiang Zhining is wearing a thick cotton jacket.
Although she loves beauty, she doesn't want to let her body suffer.
"Let's go and watch a show." Jiang Zhining said excitedly.
The car was waiting outside the military compound, and the family of five got in together.
The car bumped along the way and finally arrived at a nearby village.
"Captain, the road in the village is difficult to drive on and there are many people. I'll wait here." The driver said truthfully.
Song Yuzhou nodded lightly, then got out of the car carrying Xixi.
Because there was a puppet show here, people from nearby villages came to watch the fun, and quite a few people gathered at the entrance of the village.
It was the first time Xixi saw such a lively scene, and she immediately got down from Song Yuzhou's arms.
"Wow, it's so lively." Xixi kept looking around, her eyes full of joy.
Song Chen and Song Ye each held Xixi's hand and walked in front.
Song Yuzhou held Jiang Zhining's hand and walked behind them.
"Walk slowly and don't fall." Song Yuzhou warned.
Xixi turned around and yelled at Jiang Zhining, "Mom, hurry up, or we won't be able to get a seat."
"This little girl is starting to urge me." Jiang Zhining covered her mouth and laughed.
"Don't you have puppet shows?" Song Yuzhou asked curiously.
Jiang Zhining shook her head. "We don't have those. We watch whatever we want through our phones or computers. These things are comprehensive and convenient. For example, if I want to watch Yue Opera, I can just pick up my phone and watch it. I can choose whatever I want."
Listening to her words, Song Yuzhou envied the happiness of future people.
As they walked, Jiang Zhining looked towards the distance and asked, "Is that a temple?"
Song Yuzhou hummed: "That's the Guanyin Temple. I heard it's quite effective and has a lot of incense."
Jiang Zhining's eyes lit up: "No wonder there are so many pilgrims. Why don't we go and worship too?"
Having said that, Jiang Zhining was about to leave, but was pulled back by Song Yuzhou.
"Ah, Song Yuzhou, what are you doing?" Jiang Zhining said coquettishly.
"Don't go over there. Didn't I just tell you that this place is very effective?"
"Yes, I went there because it works." Jiang Zhining was puzzled and was about to walk over.
As a result, as expected, he was dragged over by someone again.
"Don't go. It's so effective. What if they take you away?" Song Yuzhou said seriously.
"Take it, take it away?" Jiang Zhining chuckled, "Do you think I'm a demon that can be taken away?"
"Be more cautious." Song Yuzhou said seriously.
He didn't believe in ghosts and gods before, but Jiang Zhining was a soul from another world in the future, so he began to feel awe towards these things.
"If anything happens, I can't bear it." Song Yuzhou held her hand tightly.
If a person is lost, you can still find him/her, but if Jiang Zhining is lost, she really can’t be found.
He won't take this risk.
"It's really okay..." Jiang Zhining still wanted to fight for it, but Song Yuzhou simply bent down and picked her up sideways.
"Hey, Song Yuzhou, what are you doing?" Jiang Zhining exclaimed.
"Wife, you are tired. I will carry you there." Song Yuzhou responded in a low voice.
Looking at the gazes cast at her by passers-by, Jiang Zhining's face flushed red, and she quickly buried her face in his chest, feeling dead.
Song Yuzhou carried Jiang Zhining all the way to the ancestral hall. A stage had been set up so that the villagers could sit and watch the puppet show.
As soon as they walked in, they saw Song Ye waving at them: "Mom and Dad, here!"
It turned out that the three of them had already taken their seats and were waiting for them.
So, Jiang Zhining held Xixi and sat next to Song Yuzhou, Song Chen sat on the other side of him, and Song Ye sat in Song Yuzhou's arms. Everyone waited together for the puppet show to begin.
Soon, the puppet show began.
It was Jiang Zhining's first time watching a puppet show. Her eyes were filled with shock as she watched the puppets being controlled by ropes and performing various movements.
Today's puppet show is the Three White Bone Demons. Jiang Zhining watched with great interest as she listened to the puppeteer controlling the puppets and speaking the lines according to the plot.
This feeling of watching something up close is very different from the feeling of looking at the screen on a mobile phone.
Jiang Zhining watched the two-hour puppet show attentively, enjoying a visual feast.
When the show was over, Jiang Zhining was still not satisfied and kept talking: "This puppet show was so exciting. I was so nervous watching it just now."
Xixi nodded vigorously, but her vocabulary was limited, so she could only squeeze out a few words: "Beautiful, very beautiful."
"I just heard that the puppet show will be performed three times, one per day. Can we still come and watch it?"
As soon as the words fell, the four of them looked at Song Yuzhou in unison.
Seeing this, Song Yuzhou smiled and said, "Of course, I'll ask Uncle Li to bring you here tomorrow."
"That's great." Jiang Zhining cheered excitedly.
Remembering something, Song Yuzhou looked at Jiang Zhining and warned, "Don't go to the Guanyin Temple."
Jiang Zhining was amused by him and said with a smile, "I know."
Because we care, we are afraid of losing.
"I'll prepare some snacks tomorrow and we can eat while watching. It will be more interesting." Jiang Zhining's eyes were shining.
"Okay, okay, okay." Xixi and Song Ye, two little foodies, clapped their hands excitedly.
Looking at his younger brothers and sisters surrounding Jiang Zhining and the bright smiles on their faces, Song Chen rarely smiled.
