Since Blacksmith Zhao was ill these days, Song Yuehua has been staying in the chess hall in the county town.
When she got home, everyone in the family had already eaten.
Knowing that Song Yuehua was still hungry, Qi Zi took the food from her hand and said, "There is still hot porridge in the pot. I will stir-fry a few more dishes and we can eat. It will be quick."
The hair on Qi Zi's forehead was wet, probably because she had just taken a shower.
Song Yuehua stopped her and said, "No, I'm tired of eating lunch, so drinking some porridge is enough. Don't worry about it, I'll take care of it myself."
"Sister, let me heat up the porridge for you." Xiaoyu said.
“No, no.”
Song Yuehua waved her hand. Xiaoyu embroidered all day long and touched the finest silk, so how could she let her hands get rough?
Qi Zi took the tofu and kept it in the well.
Song Yuehua took a large bowl, scooped a large bowl of warm rice porridge, and drank it in a few mouthfuls.
After finishing the meal, Song Yuehua talked to the two of them while washing the pot, "Where are Dabao and Xiaobao? Why can't we see them?"
Xiaoyu leaned against the door and talked to her, "Dabao went to play with other children in the village after dinner, Xiaobao went to play chess with Master Yi, and Xiaoyu was tutoring Gu Ruyi and didn't come back for dinner."
"Gu Ruyi? Are you back again?"
Did Huang Fengjuan figure it out, or not?
Xiaoyu said, "His grandmother sent the child back, saying that Xiaoyu had agreed to accept him, so she had to be responsible. The child is difficult to teach now. Xiaoyu was almost crying because of him..."
"Crying out of anger? So serious?" Song Yuehua didn't know.
Xiaoyu said helplessly, "It seems that Gu Qing taught him a lesson for a few days and beat him severely. During those days, the Gu family quarreled all day long, and the child must have been frightened."
Song Yuehua wiped her hands with a rag and said, "Let's stew some meat for Xiaoyu tomorrow. Don't push Gu Ruyi too much, take your time."
After cleaning the kitchen, Song Yuehua took another bath and washed and hung up her clothes.
When she returned to the room, she saw Dabao sitting on the kang and reciting a lesson to Xiaoyu.
"Xiaobao hasn't come back yet?" Song Yuehua asked.
Qi Zi said as she cleaned up the kitchen, "I just asked Madam Xia, and she said she was still playing chess."
It's not good to get dizzy from playing chess, so Song Yuehua tied her hair up again and went to the school to look for someone. She met Pei Feng as soon as she arrived at the door.
"Girl, are you free?"
Song Yuehua nodded. After Pei Feng came out, he closed the door and whispered, "I found out about Baozi's batch of fertilizers."
"Oh, yes..." Song Yuehua suddenly remembered. She had almost forgotten about this matter, and only remembered it when it was mentioned.
Pei Feng looked a little strange, and he lowered his voice even more, "There is a mass grave in Qianzhi Village..."
Hearing this, Song Yuehua felt a little numb on his face. He really dared to eat the things grown with this kind of fertilizer.
"girl……"
After hearing Pei Feng's voice, Song Yuehua came back to her senses and asked, "Does Aunt Tan know?"
"I told her that I dare not use the fertilizer for the time being. She is waiting for the girl to come back and make the decision." Pei Feng said.
Song Yuehua nodded and said, "Send the fertilizer back to Baozi. I'm afraid of ghosts."
"OK."
Pei Feng went to the Ma family after he finished speaking. Song Yuehua thought about it and called him, "I'll go too."
The two walked on the road, the evening breeze blew towards them, Pei Feng walked in front to block the wind, Song Yuehua looked up and said helplessly, "You're blocking the road, how can I walk."
"The wind is a little cold, and the girl's hair is not dry yet..." Pei Feng explained stutteringly.
Song Yuehua pulled him, walked to Pei Feng's side and said, "It's okay."
The two walked side by side for a while.
Pei Feng said, "So many things have happened during the three years of drought. It has not been easy for you, girl."
"It's not easy for ordinary people to live," Song Yuehua said, "It's a great blessing to be alive."
"Um."
Ma family.
After sending Song Yuehua to the door of the Ma family, Pei Feng said again, "Miss, I have something else to do, so I'll go back first."
"Go ahead, I'm not a child, why do you have to send me here?" Song Yuehua said helplessly.
Tan Xiuxiu had just finished washing up. When she saw Song Yuehua, she was about to smile, but then she thought of something and put her smile back. "Boss, I was planning to talk to you tomorrow, but I didn't expect you to come here by yourself."
"Boss!"
Ma Yong greeted cheerfully, "You're back. Have you had dinner?"
Tan Xiuxiu looked disgusted and said, "Go to the kitchen and make a pot of tea. We have something important to discuss."
Ma Yong, "..."
After sending the man away, Tan Xiuxiu continued, "Pei Feng should have told you, should we use those fertilizers?"
"No need," Song Yuehua said, "I wanted to ask you to return it, but after thinking about it, I decided to bury it in the cemetery. I'll burn some paper money and find a monk to chant sutras when the time comes."
Tan Xiuxiu asked, "Does it have to be so complicated?"
"We should be more respectful when treating the dead." Song Yuehua said.
Although Qin Xiuxiu did not see it with her own eyes, she heard from Ma Hu and Ma Yong that when Song Yuehua was guarding the village, she killed one person with one arrow.
Burning paper and chanting sutras are trivial matters, and Qin Xiuxiu didn't want to ask about them. She also didn't dare to eat vegetables that grew from human flesh and blood.
"Baozi is a man without great virtue. Now that the cows have been used and the land has been plowed, he is using these things to get rid of us."
Qin Xiuxiu got angry when she thought of Baozi's mean appearance.
Song Yuehua said, "We have to eat what we grow, so we can't let it go unnoticed."
School.
When Song Yuehua came back, Master Yi and Madam Xia were taking a walk.
"Master Yi, isn't Xiaobao playing chess with you?" Song Yuehua asked.
Master Yi pointed to the student's kang room and said, "He is playing chess with Zhang Rushan."
It was dark now and no one was sleeping.
Song Yuehua arrived in front of the kang room and was about to knock on the door when she saw Pei Feng coming out.
This kid said he had something to do. Is he here to look for Xiaobao and Zhang Rushan?
In the room, Xiaobao and Zhang Rushan had a chessboard in front of them and were about to place their pieces to play chess.
"It's time to go home." Song Yuehua said.
Xiao Bao said yes and immediately started collecting the chess pieces. Zhang Rushan was stunned. "Don't you have to finish the game?"
"You've already lost." Xiao Bao said after a moment of silence.
Zhang Rushan didn't believe it, "How could I lose? I think I can still be saved!"
"Brother Rushan, there is no point in your dying struggle like this."
Xiaobao quickly put away the chess pieces, then came over and took Song Yuehua's hand and said obediently, "Sister, I miss you so much, let's go home."
After the two left, Zhang Rushan covered his chest and felt very suffocated.
"Master Yi..."
Zhang Rushan found Master Yi who was taking a walk with Madam Xia, and wanted to play a game of chess with him to get back some ground.
"If you want to play chess, go find Master Xie,"
Master Yi coughed lightly and said, "It's a beautiful day with a good wife by my side. How can I have the time to play chess with a brat like you? Don't speak up next time you encounter this kind of situation."
Zhang Rushan, "..."
Xie Yu sent Gu Ruyi back. When she was feeling depressed, Zhang Rushan came to invite her to play chess.
I wanted to refuse, but when I thought about how we hadn't seen each other for a while, I agreed.
