It is autumn now, and it is already a bit chilly in this mountain village in the mornings and evenings.
Seeing that Ye Shuning was wearing thin clothes, Li Shaozhong warned, "Xiao Ning, it's a changing season now, and the temperature in the morning and evening has become a bit cold. You should put on more clothes to avoid catching a cold."
Ye Shuning really felt a little cold, and nodded, "I'll find a coat to put on right away."
The last time Ye Shuning went back to Kyoto with Li Shaozhong, although he bought her some clothes, Li Shaozhong still felt that she was short of clothes. He would buy her a few more pieces when they went to the county town together.
Tomorrow is the weekend, and Ye Shuning is thinking about going to the county town. She needs to find an excuse to bring some things back home.
There was a limit to the amount of things at home, and with Li Shaozhong around, Ye Shuning didn't dare to take anything out casually, so she had to go to the county town to replenish them. This would also give her an excuse to take out more things from the research institute.
During dinner, Ye Shuning said, "I'm going to the county town tomorrow. Is there anything you want to buy?"
Upon hearing this, Li Shaozhong stopped picking up the food and asked, "What are you doing in the county town?"
Ye Shuning didn't tell the whole truth, fearing Li Shaozhong would stop her. "I'm going to the county town to buy some things. I'm also planning to go to the county town to buy some drawing paper and paint."
Li Shaozhong was planning to go to the county town to buy clothes or fabrics for Ye Shuning, so he happened to be going with her. "Then I'll go with you tomorrow."
Ye Shuning disagreed a little when she heard this. "Brother Li, your leg isn't fully healed yet. You'd better not go to the county town, which is so far away. I can go there by bike by myself. I'll be very careful."
Ye Shuning wanted to find an opportunity to get something from the research institute, so she had to go out by herself. She didn't want Li Shaozhong to follow her.
Li Shaozhong said, "You can't go alone, you must have someone to accompany you."
Ye Xingguo knew the purpose of his daughter's trip to the county town and said, "I'll go with Xiao Ning."
Ye Shuning frowned and said, "Dad, is your body okay?"
Li Shaozhong also said: "Yes, Uncle Ye, your injury is more serious than mine."
Ye Xingguo waved his hand and said, "The injury on my leg has almost healed. As long as I don't exert too much force, I'll be fine."
Ye Shuning said, "Then I'll take you on my bike."
Li Shaozhong felt more relieved when he saw Uncle Ye accompanying Ye Shuning to the county town. "Then you guys should be careful."
Seeing that she had persuaded Li Shaozhong, Ye Shuning breathed a sigh of relief. She was inviting a housekeeper to her home. Really, it was inconvenient to have outsiders at home.
Li Shaozhong knew he couldn't go to the county town with her, so he took out a wad of money and notes and gave them to Ye Shuning. "Here are some money and notes. You can buy a couple of sets of clothes or some fabric."
Ye Shuning waved her hands quickly after seeing this and said, "No need, I have money, cloth coupons and other things. My father gave me a lot."
She now has a backer. She is her father's only daughter, so of course he relies on her for everything.
Li Shaozhong said, "What Uncle Ye gave you is Uncle Ye's, and this is mine. The weather will soon get cold, so buy some cotton and make yourself a cotton-padded jacket. You can buy the other tickets as you see fit."
When Ye Shuning heard this, she thought that Li Jingyu didn't seem to have many sets of clothes. She should make a few clothes for the little guy, including a cotton coat.
Thinking of this, she immediately took the ticket from Li Shaozhong and said, "Then I'll buy some cloth and cotton for Jingyu to make a cotton coat."
Li Shaozhong felt helpless when he heard this, but he couldn't influence Ye Shuning, so he could only do as she pleased.
Li Shaozhong's previous bicycle at work was his own, but Yan Jingwen had given it to him, so they now had a ready-made bicycle at home. This way, they didn't have to borrow a bicycle when going to the county town.
The next day, Ye Xingguo and his daughter Ye Shuning got up early and rode their bicycles out.
The bicycle seat was lowered to the lowest position. Ye Shuning was able to ride it, but it was a bit difficult to carry her father.
Finally, Ye Xingguo couldn't stand it anymore, "Xiao Ning, let Dad drive you. I might as well ride a bike instead of sitting in the back. I can also get some exercise."
Ye Shuning was also struggling, mainly because the road was bumpy and difficult to walk on, and she was afraid that her father would fall.
"Are you really okay?"
Ye Xingguo assured him, "Of course there's no problem. How can we be so weak? Dad has been in much better shape recently. Riding a bicycle isn't a very strenuous activity. If you follow my training, you're still a far cry from what you can do."
Ye Shuning knew her father wasn't being stubborn, so she stopped the bike and switched places. This time, Ye Xingguo was riding much faster. Ye Shuning felt safe hugging her father's waist.
There was no one else on the road, so Ye Xingguo said, "Xiao Ning, are you going to the county town to get something this time?"
Ye Shuning replied, "Well, with Third Brother Li around, I don't dare take out too many things. I'm afraid he'll notice something. It's better for me to go to the county town to provide some cover."
Ye Xingguo agreed. "It's right to be cautious. Also, don't show off your knowledge easily. If you suddenly become very powerful, it will definitely attract other people's attention, and they may even investigate you."
You should learn on your own first, and ask Li Shaozhong more questions. This is a learning process. Even if you learn quickly, it only means you are smart and perceptive.
After all, this is still a sensitive period. The Li family just had an incident, so there's no guarantee that no one will pay attention to Li Shaozhong. You could get into trouble if you're not careful.
You have to give others the impression that you are always studying hard. After a few years, you can get into a good university. Then you won’t be afraid of others checking your achievements in the future.”
Ye Shuning nodded and said, "Dad, I know. I have always been cautious and would not easily do anything out of line. I know that if I do nothing, I won't attract other people's attention.
I draw comic strips because I want to have a way to make money. Now that you're my backer, I don't plan to draw comic strips anymore. I bought the painting materials this time because I want to teach Weidong and the others how to draw."
Ye Xingguo said, "If you don't want to paint, then don't paint. What if you touch on sensitive issues, it will be even more troublesome? With your father here, you can just stay in Fengyang Village and everything will be fine in a few years."
Ye Shuning said, "Dad, don't worry, I really like staying here. I never had the time to enjoy this kind of rural life before, but now is the perfect time to experience it. I guess I won't have the time to enjoy it in a few years."
The weather is about to get cold, so I need to buy some cloth and cotton when I go to the county town. I need to make cotton clothes for you and Jingyu. I guess cotton is hard to find.”
Ye Xingguo said: "I'm not in a hurry. Maybe I will have to go back to the south soon. There I don't need to wear thick cotton clothes."
Ye Shuning was reluctant to part with her father again. "Dad, I guess you'll have to stay where you are for a few more years, right?"
Ye Xingguo nodded and said, "It's best not to move at the moment, but the conditions there are too harsh, it's not suitable for you to join the army."
Ye Xingguo's base was located on the border. The conditions there were harsh and dangerous, so few soldiers joined the army. Ye Xingguo didn't want his daughter to suffer with him.
