Ever since Su Chunjiao came to visit last time, Song Tanglan didn't dare to carry Mumu around anymore. She just stayed at home. However, when she went to Aunt Li's house to pick up the child, she would meet Su Chunjiao from time to time. Su Chunjiao would always come forward to greet her as if nothing had happened.
Every time she heard those warm words, she almost doubted whether her memory was confused.
She hasn't forgotten how this person framed her before. Now she looks very familiar with him, and people who don't know her would think they are good friends who have known each other for many years.
Since those times, every time she went to pick up Mumu, she would go straight home and not go anywhere, not even to Su Tao's house.
She had encountered this person once when she went to Su Tao's house, so how could she dare to visit him again? She always felt that this person was up to no good.
"Lanlan, what's going on with Su Chunjiao? She was so shameless before, but now she has the nerve to act like you two know each other well. Have you forgiven her?"
Song Tanglan looked at the angry Su Tao, quickly poured her a cup of flower tea and comforted her.
"No, I'm not that magnanimous. We're sworn enemies, so why would I forgive or not? Haven't you seen how she's been driving me crazy lately and I'm afraid to even leave the house? I wonder if she's mentally ill."
"So that's how it is. I thought you forgave her. I also thought she was sick. How could she have the nerve to act like you two were on good terms now when you fell into the water and framed her like that?"
"Who knows!" Song Tanglan thought about the information her second brother-in-law had asked someone to investigate, but they hadn't found anything wrong. She now began to doubt whether her sixth sense was wrong.
Maybe this person is suffering from delusional disorder, and is also being attacked by his mother-in-law, so he is very enthusiastic when meeting any child.
"Lanlan, do you think Old Lady Cui has made her sick? I heard that Old Lady Cui has been scolding her lately for being a hen that doesn't lay eggs."
Su Tao thought about the gossip she had heard recently and told it all.
There have been no new educated youth in their brigade in the past two years, so the gossip is always about the same few families.
Originally, these old educated youth could have applied to go back to visit their families last year, but because the snow disaster came early, they were unable to return to the city to visit their families.
So the quota they applied for last year was allocated to this year. So our group will have to wait until next year to go back to visit our relatives.
Su Tao thought that she hadn't seen her family for several years and didn't know what the situation was like at home. She and her brother were not with their parents. Did her parents take good care of themselves?
"Maybe, but she used to be quite impressive. I even heard that her mother-in-law was always irritated by her and became sick. How come she suddenly became so cowardly?"
Song Tanglan still felt that this person had ulterior motives, but she kept reminding herself of her sixth sense, and she felt that he couldn't be wrong.
"I don't know what she's been up to lately, but she's changed a lot. Forget it, let's not talk about her anymore. This year, educated youth can apply to return to the city to visit their families. We have to wait until next year, 1973. Lanlan, is your second sister coming back to visit her family this year?"
"I don't know about that either. It's still too early. Even if my second brother-in-law and second sister go to visit relatives, I can't go back!"
Song Tanglan thought about how her parents kept saying they hadn't seen Mumu yet, and her second sister hadn't been home for several years, so she thought they might go back this year.
Then I will have to spend the winter alone, and I feel a little upset when I think about it.
"If they all go back, you can come live with me. That way you can save firewood and eat my cooking every day."
Su Tao had this idea a long time ago. She felt happy just thinking that there was someone to chat with her in the middle of winter.
Seeing Su Tao smiling so happily, Song Tanglan couldn't help but smiled and replied, "Okay, then I'll go eat and live with you."
"Okay, tell me when you've made up your mind."
Su Tao was still happy when she heard that she agreed.
…
Cheng Fangyuan came back in the evening and brought back the information he had asked someone to investigate. He found that there was nothing wrong between the two people, and they were even the ones he had not had any contact with recently.
After hearing this, Song Tangcheng no longer doubted it. He just thought that Su Chunjiao was irritated, which was why she smiled so kindly at other people's children every day.
Because of this news, Song Tanglan was allowed to go out, and she could go up the mountain with Su Tao and others to pick mushrooms and wild fruits every day.
Time flies, and the team has been exceptionally peaceful for the past month. However, there was some bad news recently, which made people from several nearby teams nervous.
That was the case of child trafficking. It was a very big incident and many policemen came to the team to inquire and investigate. However, there were no missing children in their teams, so they left after asking questions.
After they left, the team was in an uproar. Everyone started telling their children not to run around. Even the children had to be picked up and dropped off by adults when they went to school in the next brigade every day, for fear that something might happen.
Fortunately, everything went peacefully for the past month.
Just today when she was free, Song Tanglan saw Xu Qi coming to see her.
Thinking that she hadn't seen Xu Qi for a long time, she quickly and warmly welcomed him into the yard.
"Brother Xu, why do you have time to come to see me today?"
"I happened to have nothing to do today, so I came to see how you were doing."
Xu Qi looked at the little girl smiling so happily because of his arrival, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise up, revealing a faint smile, with a hint of doting in his eyes that he didn't notice.
"I'm doing pretty well. Every day, besides going to work, I take care of the little one. By the way, there's been a big uproar recently about the child abduction. Brother Xu, has the town been affected by this incident?"
Song Tanglan thought that she hadn't been to the town for a while, so she asked curiously.
