When Nanqiao woke up again, he was so dazed that he didn't know where he was.
It was not until I smelled the faint smell of burning wood in the air that I suddenly realized that I had gone to the countryside.
Sit up and look at the sky outside through the cracks in the carved wooden window.
There is no industrial pollution at this time, and the sky is particularly blue.
Nanqiao sat on the bed for a while, then went to the space to wash up.
When he left the room, he saw that Chen Nian's door was closed. He thought that she might not be awake yet, so he turned back to the room.
After thinking about it, I decided to take half of the eight-treasure duck sent by my family and went to Aunt Xiumei's house with a quilt.
Arriving at the door of his aunt's house, Nanqiao knocked on the door of the Sheng family and shouted, "Aunt Xiumei, are you awake? I'm here to bring you the quilt."
The door of the main house opened, and Taohua jumped out of the house.
"Sister, you're here. I'll help you get it." Taohua said as she opened the door, took the quilt from Nanqiao's hand, and led her into the house.
"Are your mother and the others awake?"
"I woke up and was just telling my mother about our trip to the supply and marketing cooperative this morning."
Nanqiao followed Taohua into the main house. When they came in, Aunt Xiumei had just put down her insoles and came out to greet them.
"Girl, have you taken the bedding your family sent you?" Before Nanqiao could speak, Aunt Xiumei's loud voice came from the room.
"I got it, Auntie. I made it ready for a nap at noon."
"That's good, that's good. I can sleep more comfortably using the bedding at home."
"Yes, I miss home as soon as I arrived."
"Alas, these days, we don't know when we can go back home," said Aunt Xiumei with a sigh.
"Since we are here, we should make the best of it. The country is also learning and improving. I believe that the college entrance examination will be restored one day, and then everyone will have the opportunity to return to the city," Nanqiao said confidently.
"Girl, are you going to take the college entrance examination?" Aunt Xiumei asked with some surprise.
Nanqiao naturally understood the implication of Aunt Xiumei's words, but he could understand it. After all, in this era when there are many illiterate people and the college entrance examination has been suspended for so many years, college students have become almost a legendary thing.
Even so, Nanqiao still gave Aunt Xiumei a positive answer.
"If the college entrance examination can be resumed, I will of course take part in it, but the most important thing now is to do the farm work in front of me. Oh, by the way, Aunt Xiumei, this is sent by my family. It is a specialty of Shanghai. Please try it." Nanqiao did not want to continue discussing this topic, so he changed the subject and handed over the Eight Treasure Duck in his hand.
Half a piece is not a lot, but it is very precious at this time.
"Why are you getting things for your aunt again? Look at you, girl." Aunt Xiumei refused.
"Hey, hold it. Were you embroidering a shoe pad just now?" Nanqiao asked, looking at a half-embroidered shoe pad in the basket on the kang.
"Yes, there are many people in my family, so I can embroider some when I have free time. It doesn't take much effort."
"Your craftsmanship is really good. It looks really good." Nanqiao picked it up, looked at it and praised it.
"I like it. If you like it, I'll embroider a pair for you. What size shoes do you wear?" Aunt Xiumei said, looking at Nanqiao's feet.
"Is the 37 one okay?" Aunt Xiumei continued to ask without waiting for Nanqiao to reply.
"Sure, 37 is fine. Thank you, auntie." Nanqiao agreed readily. It was obvious that Aunt Xiumei didn't want to keep accepting her things and wanted to find some gifts in return. She would not refuse her kindness at this moment.
"Okay, I'll embroider it for you first, and then I'll ask Taohua to send it to you when it's done."
"Okay, Auntie"
Nanqiao chatted with Aunt Xiumei for a while and then prepared to go home. Before leaving, Aunt Xiumei asked, "Girl, will you and Shen Zhiqing come to our house for dinner tonight?"
Nanqiao thought for a while and said, "Aunt, not in the evening. We are going to try to cook at home, otherwise we won't be able to adapt when we start working. By the way, aunt, do you know anyone who can get a chicken and vegetables? There is nothing at home except rice and flour..."
"If you want pheasant meat, I have it at my house. If you want vegetables, I'll go to the backyard to pick them for you." Aunt Xiumei said as she took the basket and went to the backyard.
"Okay, then I'll go with you," Nanqiao said as he caught up with Aunt Xiumei and ran to the backyard.
Arriving at the backyard, Nanqiao looked at Aunt Xiumei's lush vegetable garden with envy. Aunt Xiumei was good at everything except growing flowers and vegetables. Whatever she raised died.
"Aunt, the vegetables you grow are so good. I don't have much affinity with growing flowers and vegetables..."
"You can also grow them in your backyard. We have black soil here with plenty of nutrients, so the vegetables grow well! I'll bring you some seeds later. Just turn the soil over and water it more, and they will surely grow. If you still can't grow them, come to me and I'll grow them for you."
"Hahaha okay, then I'll go back and try again. Auntie, I want an eggplant and some cabbage. Just give me a green onion..."
Nanqiao picked and chose and finally picked up a whole basket. It was only because Nanqiao stopped Aunt Xiumei that she gave up. Otherwise, she would have plucked all the vegetables out of the whole vegetable garden.
Nanqiao came to the front yard with a basket, waiting for Aunt Xiumei to get the chicken.
"I remember there seems to be some firewood in your yard. If it's not enough, come to our house and get some. Your brother Chuanzi and brother Sheng go to chop firewood every now and then, so there's no shortage of firewood at home," said Aunt Xiumei as she put the chicken into the basket.
After Aunt Xiumei gave the chicken to Nanqiao, she pushed her to go back and cook. As for Nanqiao's hand that was extended to her, Aunt Xiumei pushed it back.
Then Nanqiao was pushed out of the yard, and the gate was even closed the next second. He turned back to the house, as if he was afraid that she would give her the money.
Nanqiao walked out of the yard and saw Sheng Yanchuan coming back after a few steps. Sheng Yanchuan saw that she was holding so many things, so he reached out to take them and said, "I'll help you take them back. This road only leads to my old yard. Generally, no one comes here, so don't worry."
