Around three o'clock in the afternoon, several people got up and said they wanted to go back. I tried to invite them to have dinner at home, but they all refused.
She had no choice but to send them to the gate of the courtyard. After they left, she went into the kitchen and steamed two steamed buns for herself. She used a large bowl to put some leftovers into the bowl and steamed them together with the buns.
Tong Yiya plans to eat like this for the next few days, otherwise the dishes will not taste good if they are reheated too many times, unless there are guests at home, then they can still finish a whole plate.
After having a simple lunch, she walked around in the yard before going back to the house and sitting at the table by the window to read.
It was almost dark when she went out of the house and looked at the gate of the yard. Seeing that no children had come there, she went to the kitchen to pack some vegetables and steamed buns, carried them in two baskets, and went out, heading towards the cowshed.
When she arrived at the place, she knocked on the wooden door of the thatched hut. Grandpa Li inside opened the door, saw that it was her, and quickly pulled her in.
After entering the house and closing the door, he asked, "Why are you here? Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year. Why aren't you staying at home?"
"Grandpa Li, I'm here to wish you a happy new year. I brought you some delicious food and good wine. You can have a good drink today," Tong Yiya said, shaking the basket in her hand.
"Hey, Old Li, please let my wife heat up the delicious food that Tong girl brought. It's the New Year, so let's relax a little." An old man inside heard the conversation between the two and said
Old man Li thought about it, nodded and agreed, saying: "Then you can stay and eat with us, and go back later."
"Okay, then I'll go help Grandma Shu heat up the food, and you guys just wait to eat," Tong Yiya said happily when she saw Grandpa Li agreed.
Grandma Shu got up from the bed, walked to Tong Yiya's side, took a basket from her hand, and walked towards the small earthen stove, saying as she walked: "Then I won't be polite. Come on, give me a hand. Now that we've done it, you can go back earlier after you finish eating."
"Okay." Tong Yiya smiled and followed to the small stove carrying another basket. The other elderly people also began to set up the table in the middle of the room.
Tong Yiya first brought out the dishes that needed to be heated up for Grandma Shu, and then she put a piece of cold braised pork in the basket away from the elderly people, exchanged it for hot ones in the space, brought it out and put it on the table.
There is also fish jelly, which she also cuts and arranges at home, as well as fried fish cubes, fried fish, and fried meatballs. All the things that need to be heated are served on the table first.
Grandma Shu quickly heated up the dishes and brought them to the table. When everyone was about to eat, there was another knock on the door, and everyone in the room was startled.
For a moment, no one dared to speak. Finally, Grandpa Li asked Tong Yiya to hide behind the firewood at the side and avoid the sight of the door.
After calming down his nervous heart, he walked towards the door, opened it a crack, and saw a stranger outside the door. He asked, "Little brother, have you come to the wrong place? Not everyone can come here. Get out of here quickly."
"Professor Li, I'm here to see you guys on behalf of my teammates."
Tong Yiya was a little nervous. The voice sounded familiar, but she couldn't guess who it was.
She could only hold herself tightly as much as possible, hoping that the man would not come in. She was still a little scared, afraid that the man was a jealous person and would come in and take her away.
Mr. Li was afraid that this person would find Tong Yiya in the house, so he didn't open the door. It was Mr. Zhang who had just spoken who asked, "Mr. Li, what's her name?"
He also remembered that some time ago someone from his home secretly sent him a letter saying that a gay man would come to see him during the New Year, and the man's name was simply written on the letter.
Because the letter was delivered by a trustworthy person, I dared to write this person's name. If it was a letter sent by mail, I would not dare to write someone else's name, otherwise it would implicate that person.
Deng Jinbo, who was standing at the door, heard what the people in the room were saying, and without waiting for Mr. Li to ask, he quickly replied, "Grandpa Zhang, my name is Deng Jinbo."
The people in the room also heard his name. Mr. Zhang nodded to Mr. Li, and this was indeed the person mentioned in the letter.
After seeing him nod, Mr. Li turned around and said, "I don't know what Comrade Deng wants to say here. Just say it here."
Deng Jinbo thought about the things in his arms and asked, "Excuse me, can I come in? I brought something this time and need to hand it over to Grandpa Zhang in person."
After listening to what he said, Mr. Zhang glanced at Tong Yiya, and when he saw her nod, he said, "Mr. Li, let him in. It's not good for him to be seen outside."
Mr. Li looked back and saw that Tong Yiya was no longer hiding, so he opened the door and let her in.
When Old Zhang called out her name, Tong Yiya already knew that the person coming was Aunt Guihua's youngest son. Thinking that he was also here to deliver something, she no longer hid. Anyway, as long as he entered the room, everyone would be the same. As long as he dared to report her, Tong Yiya could do the same.
The main thing is that he is a soldier and has a bright future. Compared with the future of myself as a young educated youth sent to the countryside, the leverage I have is definitely more advantageous.
When Deng Jinbo entered the house, he saw the girl from opposite door was also there. He was just surprised for a moment. But after seeing the dishes on their table, he figured out why she was here.
He didn't say anything. He put down the things he had brought first, then took out a letter and a small box from his arms and handed them to Mr. Zhang.
Mr. Zhang didn't open it at this time. Seeing that the two young men didn't seem to be unfamiliar with each other, he said, "Since we all know each other, I won't say much. Sit down and have a meal together. I hope that after you two leave here, you will forget what happened here today."
"Don't worry, Grandpa Zhang, I don't have that much to say," Tong Yiya said
"Mr. Zhang, I won't remember anything after I leave," Deng Jinbo also said.
"Okay, in that case, let's sit down and eat. Otherwise, the food will get cold soon and we'll have to cook it again. I don't have much firewood here." Mr. Li also walked to the side and sat down and said
None of the elderly people at the back said anything, and Tong Yiya sat obediently next to Mr. Li. Deng Jinbo couldn't refuse, so he also sat down in an empty seat on the side.
The meal was very quiet. After Tong Yiya and Deng Jinbo finished their meal, they were sent home by the elders.
Before leaving, Mr. Li asked Tong Yiya not to come over in the near future. Of course, he said this to avoid Deng Jinbo, for he was afraid that they would find someone to follow her here in the near future, and it would be bad for her if she was caught.
The two of them walked on the road, Deng Jinbo walked in front, about five or six meters away from her. They didn't say a word along the way. They kept sending the other person back home before returning to their own home.
Tong Yiya finally breathed a sigh of relief after she returned home. She was really scared today. It seemed that she would have to be more careful when delivering food to the elderly in the future.
Her main reason today was that she wanted them to eat better, and also that she felt a little lonely spending the New Year alone. In previous years, she had spent the New Year with a bunch of people in the orphanage, and was familiar with the lively New Year celebrations. Now that she was suddenly alone, she felt a little lonely, so she brought the food to keep them company.
