"All right."
Seeing that Xiao Fangyun was sincere, Su Nan didn't refuse because he hadn't eaten anything except for breakfast yesterday and was starving.
After finishing the egg in a few bites, Su Nan looked at Xiao Fangyun pitifully, indicating to her that he was not full.
The latter was stunned, and seeing Su Nan's pale face, he felt more and more sympathetic in his heart, and even began to blame his brother for being so careless that he actually scared such a beautiful girl.
Yesterday she was still wondering why someone could be frightened to the point of rolling down the hillside, but when she saw Su Nan's person, it suddenly dawned on her. No wonder, no wonder.
"My mother is cooking and we'll be eating soon." Xiao Fangyun understood, scratched her head and spoke to comfort her, staring at Su Nan with her big eyes, as if she could never see enough.
Yesterday, when she helped Su Zhiqing change his clothes, she realized that there really were people who were white from the inside out, and that every part of their bodies was soft and tender, with a curvy figure and an incredible body.
Xiao Fangyun subconsciously touched her face and adjusted the corner of her clothes uncomfortably.
"Thank you." Su Nan smiled, his eyes curved, and then he glanced at Xiao Fangyun, blinking, and said dryly, "You're welcome."
"Oh, I have some luggage at the educated youth camp. I'm having trouble moving around right now. Can you help me get it?" Su Nan suddenly remembered this. She couldn't live in someone else's house for free, could she? She wasn't one to take advantage of others.
On the day she left Shanghai, her parents, fearing that she would not have enough to eat or wear warm clothes in the countryside, gave her a lot of money and notes. She had no place to spend them along the way, and now they are still kept unopened in a corner of her space, which can be used as food expenses.
If she hadn't been afraid that conjuring a bunch of money out of thin air would scare people and get caught as a monster, she would have taken out the banknotes and given them to Xiao Fangyun long ago.
Hearing this, Xiao Fangyun slapped her forehead as if she had just remembered something. She took out a box from the floor at the end of the bed, handed it to Su Nan, and asked, "Are you talking about this?"
Seeing the familiar wooden box, Su Nan nodded vigorously and asked curiously, "Who sent this?"
"Zhou Zhiqing and a female comrade brought it here yesterday. You were still asleep at that time." Xiao Fangyun sat on a chair, put the box on her legs, and helped Su Nan, who was unable to move, to open the box.
Inside were neatly folded clothes and toiletries of various colors, as well as a box of candy and vanishing cream that Su Nan brought from Shanghai.
Su Nan casually flipped through the things she usually took and saw that they were all there. She knew that Liu Yu had packed them for her, so she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and no longer had to trouble others to get her things.
Glancing at Xiao Fangyun, he saw that she was staring at her toes with her head down, not wanting to know what was in her suitcase. His liking for this little girl grew stronger.
Su Nan reached into the pile of clothes, and when he took it out, his palm was already holding a few bills and food coupons.
"Sister Fang Yun, give this money to your mother. It will be my food allowance." Su Nan grabbed Xiao Fangyun's hand that was holding the box and forced the things into her hand.
"Su Zhiqing, what are you doing? Zhou Zhiqing has paid for your meals. We can't take your money anymore."
Xiao Fangyun has been helping with housework all year round, so naturally she has more strength than Su Nan, who grew up in a pampered environment. After just a few rounds, she stuffed the money back into the bank.
"Ah? Zhou Zhiqing, Zhou Rang?" Ten thousand "whys" flashed through Su Nan's mind. She opened her mouth in disbelief, revealing her pearly teeth. Her eyes suddenly lit up, and her expression changed several times.
Zhou Rang is a wealthy man, does this count as supporting her?
Ahem, what was he thinking? Maybe he was just paying for it. When he came to see her, she would have to ask him about it.
"Yes, he is the tall and handsome man who brought you here with my brother yesterday." Xiao Fangyun helped her close the box and explained it in detail for fear that she would not believe it.
Su Nan's long eyelashes fluttered, the smile on her lips deepened, and she nodded.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside. Su Nan and Xiao Fangyun turned their heads curiously to look at him.
"I'll go out and take a look." Xiao Fangyun put the box back in its place, then opened the door and walked out.
Su Nan, who loves to watch the fun, can only stay in bed due to his "leg injury" and watch Xiao Fangyun leave with eager eyes.
Although she couldn't see, she could hear, so she pricked up her ears and moved her body as close to the door as possible, hoping to hear more clearly.
In the yard of the Xiao family, Xiao's mother Li Cuiping, wearing an apron, stood with wet hands beside Xiao's father Xiao Heguo, who was sitting in the yard smoking a pipe. She looked embarrassed when facing the visitor and kept giving Xiao Heguo a look, but the latter obviously did not receive it and was only fiddling with his cigarette.
"Look, why is Zhou Zhiqing spending so much money? How can I have the nerve to accept it?" Li Cuiping laughed dryly and said this, but her eyes couldn't help but glance at the several large bags in Zhou Rang's hands.
"It's nothing, this is for Su Zhiqing to replenish his body." Zhou Rang was sweating profusely and his face looked not good. He was still wearing the blue and black shirt he wore yesterday.
"..." Li Cuiping choked and the smile on her face almost disappeared. She wiped the water stains on her hands from washing vegetables on her apron.
"Did Zhou Zhiqing leave for the county town overnight?" Xiao Heguo took a puff of his pipe, squinted his eyes and glanced at the packages. He noticed with his sharp eyes that they contained goods that the commune supply and marketing cooperative had no way to sell.
For example, the extremely hard-to-buy grass carp, pork, and malted milk, these are good things that even city dwellers have to get up early and queue up to get.
Besides, Xiaojia Village is far away from the county town. There are only two buses every day. The last bus had already ended yesterday, so Zhou Zhiqing’s only way to get to the county town was to walk.
Thinking of this, Xiao Heguo stared at Zhou Rang's face again and again. Tsk tsk, young people nowadays are really hardworking. They don't sleep at night and walk such a long mountain road just to go to the county town to buy nourishing food for a little girl?
"Um."
Zhou Rang spoke briefly and to the point. After a quick nod, he split the food in half and handed it to Li Cuiping, explaining, "Thank you for cooking for Su Zhiqing during this time. These are my little gifts."
Hearing this, Li Cuiping's face, which had been frozen just now, finally recovered. She weighed the weight and found it was not light. A friendly smile appeared on her face, her eyes narrowed into slits, and she said politely, "Oh, it's all I deserve."
"Do you want to go in and see Su Zhiqing? She just woke up this morning and my daughter is in there with her. Hey, Yunyun, when did you come out?" Li Cuiping turned around and saw Xiao Fangyun standing at the door of the room.
"I just heard some noise and came out to take a look." Xiao Fangyun nodded towards Zhou Rang as a greeting.
Zhou Rang rubbed his palms for a while, then looked down at his trouser legs which were stained with mud from yesterday's work, and his clothes which smelled of sweat from walking on the mountain road all night. He remembered how Su Nan had been so pampered that she had to lay a blanket on the floor when riding on the train, and took a step back uncomfortably.
He still didn't go in.
