Chapter 139 Pebbles



Song Zhi hurriedly looked at his little feet. Fortunately, he knew to take off his shoes before going to bed. He had never climbed onto the bed by himself before. Although the bed was not very high, it must have taken a lot of effort.

"Look at how capable you are. You even learned to climb onto the bed." Song Zhi pinched his son's pale little face.

Panpan frowned tightly and shook her head vigorously, not wanting her mother to pinch her face.

Song Zhi got angry as a child and insisted on pinching his face. He even woke him up and thought he was being unreasonable. He wanted to make him suffer.

The two of them were making a mess on the bed. Song Zhi tickled his armpits, and the little guy kept laughing. Not only did his face turn red, but he was also a little out of breath.

When Song's mother heard Panpan's laughter, she hurried to the room without knowing what was going on. When she saw her daughter bullying Panpan, she slapped her daughter on the arm in annoyance.

"You only know how to bully children. Get up and eat as soon as you wake up." Originally, Song's mother wanted to speak to her in a nice tone because she had just returned, but after seeing what happened just now, all her good temper disappeared.

Song Zhi pouted, "It seems that Panpan is your most precious treasure."

"You only know it now. I thought you knew it a long time ago." Both of them spoke in a sarcastic tone. Song Zhi thought that since she was a daughter, she should be more generous. A prime minister should be tolerant and not give her mother the same treatment.

"I won't argue with you, Panpan is my son anyway." Song Zhi left this sentence and ran out. She was afraid that Song's mother would catch up with her and beat her.

After dinner, Song Zhi took a small bucket and took Panpan to the river to pick up stones. This might be one of Panpan’s few outdoor activities. Song Zhi tried to find some small, round stones.

Although this thing is not very rare, it is a good health-preserving product. When Song Zhi was in modern times, he liked to walk barefoot on pebbles. It is very comfortable and can massage the soles of the feet. It is a rare health-preserving product.

I happen to be free now, so I can pave some pebbles in the yard. Now the yard is all dirt roads. Once it rains or snows, your shoes will inevitably get mud on them. Paving some pebbles will make it much cleaner. It's a good thing to kill two birds with one stone. Why not do it?

Song Zhi picked up the trash very quickly. Although the sun was shining brightly today, it was winter after all. She did not go into the river, but picked up the trash on the small path by the river. She picked up a lot in just this morning.

Panpan also helped a lot, although many of the things he picked up were unusable and the gravel road was difficult to walk on. He ran back and forth. Song Zhi felt that he was very busy all morning, but he really didn't understand what he was so busy about.

When he got home at noon, he saw sweat on his forehead. Song Zhi realized that he had been very active in the morning. But it was good this way. More exercise is good for health.

After returning home and having lunch, Song Zhi spread pebbles in the yard bit by bit and asked Panpan to step on them. He also took off Panpan's shoes. When Song's mother saw this scene, she became furious.

But Panpan was having a lot of fun, stepping on it with her little feet and laughing.

Forget it, it’s a matter of one willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten. I’d better go back to my room and sleep for a while. Out of sight, out of mind.

In the afternoon, Song Zhi went to the river to pick up stones for the whole afternoon. He had been busy these days, but fortunately the weather was good these days. Panpan never got bored or tired of following him around, and was in high spirits every day. Song's mother wanted him to stay at home, but he didn't want to. It's true that children resemble their mothers, and both of them are equally worrying.

Unable to take care of it, Song's mother completely gave up. Unexpectedly, a few days later, the cobblestone path in the yard was actually paved by the two of them. In fact, only Song Zhi was busy, and Gu Huaijin would lend a hand after work. Although Panpan actively participated every time, Song's mother couldn't lie and could only describe him as adding to the trouble. But Song Zhi just let him make trouble, and the two of them were happy in the yard all day long.

Children are ignorant and adults follow their temper, which makes people worry a lot.

End of January.

During this period, the results of the candidates were received one after another, but there was no news about Song Zhi. Although she didn't say it, everyone in the family could see that she was absent-minded every day.

Seeing Song Zhi sitting in the yard in a daze, Song's mother said to Panpan who was eating meatballs beside her, "Give it to mom to try."

Panpan was wearing very warm clothes now. He hopped up and down like a little penguin and ran to his mother and said, "Mom, eat."

Song Zhi lowered her head to glance at her son, and saw that he had a meatball in his hand. She lowered her head and let Panpan feed it into her mouth, "The meatball in Panpan's hand is really delicious."

Song's mother came over and said, "That's right, I ate several of them right after they were fried."

He was grinding his teeth with his two little front teeth, which made Song's mother feel uncomfortable, but she was also very happy to see that the child liked the food.

"The New Year is coming soon. The years go by so fast. Did Xiaojin tell me when he will have his vacation?" Song's mother changed the subject, trying not to let her think about the exam.

"It should be the beginning of February, which should be the 28th or 29th day of the lunar year." Song Zhi calculated the time. The Chinese New Year holiday is usually eight days.

"It's still early, there are still ten days or so. Let's go to town and buy some soybeans and peanuts. I'm thinking of making some fermented beans."

"Great! I haven't eaten this for a long time. Mom, the fermented beans you make are the best. I've wanted to eat them for a long time." Song Zhi's eyes lit up and he said with great interest.

"You have a big mouth. Why don't you say anything if you want to eat? Hurry up and change your clothes, let's go to town together." Song's mother left as soon as she said she would. She had just finished frying the meatballs. She put the meatballs on the chopping board to cool down, locked the kitchen door, took off her apron, and tidied her clothes.

Song Zhi also went back to his room and put on some thicker clothes. Panpan followed his mother into the bedroom. Song Zhi looked down at him and thought that there was nothing to change. He took Panpan's hand and walked into the yard.

Panpan saw his grandmother pushing a bicycle, took his mother's hand and said, "Go."

Song Zhi teased him deliberately, "Where are you going? Mom and grandma have something to do, you stay home."

Panpan looked at his mother and then at his grandmother, then immediately ran to his grandmother and hugged her thighs, mumbling, "Go, Panpan."

"Your mother is so old, but she still just teases you all day long. Let's go with Panpan." Mother Song glared at her daughter and told her to come over and ride a bike quickly.

Song Zhi took the bicycle helplessly. There was no other way. She was the main laborer in the family at the moment, and her old mother could not ride it. Although Panpan was still young, she had a promising future and would be able to ride it in the future. However, bicycles might not be popular in the future.

Song's mother held Panpan and sat in the back, and the three of them slowly headed towards the town. The problem was that they couldn't go fast. Although Song Zhi was young, he didn't have much strength, and it was still very difficult for him to ride a bicycle with an old man and a child.

When they arrived in the town, it was a very cold day, but Song Zhire felt sticky on his back and sweat appeared on his forehead.

When Song's mother saw this, she quickly took out the sweat towel she was wearing. Song Zhi wiped himself roughly, stood there and rested for a few minutes before following Song's mother and the others to the supply and marketing cooperative.
