Si Tian pretended not to understand and echoed her with a sincere expression.
"Yeah, yeah, I've only ever heard thunder in spring and summer before. How strange. Never mind, let's go eat. But what should we eat?"
"..."
After discussing it, the two finished their breakfast. The sun was already high in the sky, and seeing that the weather was nice, they decided to go for a walk.
When they reached the middle of the village, they found that everyone seemed to be heading in the same direction.
At this moment, Si Tian's gossip instincts began to stir again, and she randomly grabbed a passerby to start asking around.
"Auntie, I see everyone heading in that direction, what's going on? What happened?"
The old woman who was pulled away was startled. She looked at the two of them carefully for a while before she suddenly realized what was going on.
"Oh~ you two are the educated youth who live at the foot of the mountain over there, right? You look unfamiliar, I almost didn't recognize you."
"Are you out for a stroll? Come on, let's go see what's going on at the old lady's place on the east side of the village today. Shall we go check it out?"
"What? Something exciting? What's going on?"
The old lady's words immediately piqued Si Tian's interest, and she went over on her own without anyone else having to say anything.
Zhu Qing looked at her arm, which had suddenly been released, and didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, Si Tian reacted quickly. After letting go of Zhu Qinghao and walking out, she remembered her and hurried back to pull her along.
The old lady couldn't stop laughing at their little antics.
"Hey, you young people are so much fun! Come on, young educated youth, let's go see what's going on?"
Since they had specifically invited her, Zhu Qinghao felt embarrassed to refuse and smiled as she spoke.
"Okay, thank you, ma'am. We just thought the weather was nice today, so we came out for a stroll after breakfast and happened to run into you."
The old lady was incredibly enthusiastic, smiling so broadly her eyes disappeared.
"Oh dear, that's right. I was just taking a stroll around the village because the weather was nice today, when I heard Granny Cai say there was something exciting to see."
"However, I haven't figured out the specifics yet. I only know it's about Old Lady Suan's family. I'll have to go and take a look before I know how to explain it to you."
Sitian got excited again when the topic of excitement came up.
“Okay, okay, Auntie, let’s go take a look together. I’ve been staying at home for so long, I’m almost getting moldy.”
The enthusiastic old lady was amused by Si Tian's words.
"Hahaha, this young educated youth is so pleasing to the eye. People can get moldy? I've never seen anything like it in all my years."
Si Tian then remembered that the word "moldy" shouldn't be used to describe people nowadays.
She scratched her head awkwardly, pretending she had said something wrong.
"Hehe, I just had a sudden urge to do the splits, ma'am, please just take it as me talking nonsense."
"But ma'am, this is the first time we've met you. May I ask your name? Oh, by the way, I'm Si Tian, and this is Zhu Qinghao."
After asking the woman, Si Tian took the initiative to introduce herself and Zhu Qinghao. Zhu Qinghao smiled and nodded to the old lady in response.
The old woman matched them with their names and pointed to the two girls.
"Oh, I see. You're Xiao Si, the educated youth, and you're Xiao Zhu, right? Okay, okay, Auntie will definitely remember next time."
My surname is Ding, and my name is Ding Yuzhen. You can call me Aunt Ding, just like the young men in the village do. My home is right next to that fork in the road.
My house isn't far from your little courtyard. You can come visit me whenever you have time.
"Okay, Aunt Ding, it's not far at all. We're new here and there are many things we don't understand. If we need to ask you anything in the future, we might have to come and bother you again!"
