Chapter 171 Sagawa

Han Youran and Jiang Xiurong looked at the students wearing sleeves running away, and then glanced at Xia Zhizhi.

The two wanted to say something, but the words came to their lips several times and in the end they didn't say it.

They thought the red armbands were not a good thing, but Xia Zhizhi didn't run around with the guards every day, so they didn't say anything.

The three of them bumped into a gay man on the road.

It was mainly Xia Zhizhi who hit him.

The man was holding a bag of Gala apples, which were scattered all over the floor.

Han Youran and Jiang Xiurong hurried to help the man pick it up.

After picking up all the fruits, the man stood up.

He is tall and has a superior appearance.

He has thick hair, dark and thick sideburns and eyebrows, a high nose, fair skin for a normal person, and long, slightly upturned eyes, the standard good-looking type of almond eyes.

When the man saw Xia Zhizhi, his eyes lit up, then he looked a little shy and said with a smile: "Hello comrades, my name is Sagawa, I'm sorry, I was thinking about something just now and didn't pay attention, I bumped into you."

After that, he took out a few fruits from his bag and stuffed one into each of Han Youran and Jiang Xiurong, and two into Xia Zhizhi's mouth. "This is my apology. I hope you comrades don't mind."

Without waiting for them to refuse, Sagawa stuffed the fruit into their mouths and walked away.

His steps were steady and his lower body was low, which must have been due to practice.

Xia Zhizhi looked back but didn't take it too seriously.

When they returned, Tang Mingli also came back and was cooking. Tang Mingli said that they were on New Year holiday, and Jiang Xiurong was very happy.

Seeing Xia Zhizhi, Tang Mingli took out a small cloth bag and gave it to her. He then explained to Jiang Xiurong, "Yesterday I met an old man who was exchanging wild ginseng. I thought Comrade Xia has always been in poor health, so I exchanged it."

Jiang Xiurong naturally wouldn't be jealous, but she also benefited a lot from Tang Mingli explaining everything to her.

Xia Zhizhi took it and threw it on the table, saying happily, "Let's go to the village and exchange it for an old hen some other day, and stew it with ginseng to nourish our bodies."

Jiang Xiurong had soaked the beans yesterday, and Tang Mingli got up early in the morning to start cooking porridge and steaming tofu buns.

They had finished eating what they had made previously.

Xia Zhizhi was still sleeping in bed when she was grabbed and made to eat a bowl of soup.

The ingredients are sufficient, the various beans are soft and sticky, and they are cooked until they are mushy, and the taste is quite good.

Tang Mingli brought back some fresh tofu from the market yesterday and kept it in Xia Zhizhi's room. It was not frozen.

After eating porridge for breakfast, Tang Mingli, Han Youran and Jiang Xiurong began to chop stuffing and prepare to fry various meatballs.

He has been too obedient recently and has become a man-mother, doing whatever he is told to do. Xia Zhizhi has lost a lot of fun.

Xia Zhizhi lay dead on the kang. They had been busy outside all day, frying several pots of meatballs for the New Year.

In the afternoon, heavy snow began to fall, one heap after another.

I specially prepared two extra dishes for dinner so that everyone could have a good time during the festival.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, with no sign of stopping. When it was almost dark, someone knocked on the door.

It was quite a coincidence, it was Comrade Sagawa whom they bumped into on the way back from taking a shower yesterday.

Sagawa was carrying a large backpack, his face was pale from the cold, he stood under the eaves and shook off the snow on his body before entering the house.

Han Youran asked him to dry the clothes in front of the stove.

Sagawa rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "I went to visit relatives in Gaojiazhuang in the back, and it started snowing unexpectedly, and it kept getting heavier. It was freezing, so I knocked on the door of the educated youth center to ask for some hot water. I didn't expect to run into a few female comrades again. What a coincidence."

Here in the Northeast, it's not uncommon to entertain comrades who are seeking shelter from the snow when it snows heavily. After all, it's so cold and everyone has difficulties. If someone comes to you for help, you can't just let them go out and freeze to death.

Han Youran poured him a pot of hot water and chatted with him for a while.

Seeing that the snow was not about to stop, Han Youran asked him if he could spend the night with Tang Mingli at the educated youth site.

Several male educated youth returned, and their places of residence became available.

Tang Mingli naturally had no objection.

Sagawa was very happy and bowed to them to express his gratitude.

He also took out a dried rabbit from the basket on his back as his dinner.

After dinner, he diligently helped Tang Mingli clean up the house. The two of them raked the snow on the roof again. After all, it was snowing too heavily, and they were afraid that the roof would not be able to bear it if they didn't rake it.

At night, before going to bed, Sagawa and Tang Mingli chatted: "Comrade Xia, I see she looks listless and has no energy."

Tang Mingli thought about it and said according to his own understanding: "She has not been in good health for a long time. She has been busy running around recently. I guess she is tired."

The two chatted for a while, with Sagawa asking questions and Tang Mingli answering.

It snowed all night, and the male educated youth got up in the middle of the night and rake the roof several times.

When I woke up early the next morning, the snow was up to my thighs.

Luckily, the doors here all open inwards, otherwise they would be blocked and there would be no way out.

The male educated youth had breakfast and started to shovel snow.

Sagawa was also with them.

Xia Zhizhi continued to lie there listlessly.

She is having her period.

The first menstruation of this body.

She was strong and healthy, so she didn't have any side effects like stomachache, and she didn't need a baby warmer, after all, the kang was quite warm.

But I couldn't help feeling out of spirits. I was lazy to begin with, and now I'm even less motivated.

Han Youran and Jiang Xiurong felt so sorry for her delicate and frail appearance that they fed her every meal. Seeing that she had a poor appetite, the two of them patiently coaxed her to eat.

Sagawa was amazed.

In the afternoon, Sagawa planned to go back.

He and Tang Mingli got along well, and the two of them agreed to go to the mountains to make snow nests when the weather got better.

Sagawa took one last look inside the room. Xia Zhizhi still looked half dead, and he didn't care whether he was leaving or not.

Sagawa took the initiative to speak: "Comrade Xia, I will take my leave first. Thank you for your hospitality."

Xia Zhizhi said "hmm" indifferently and lay motionless on the kang without even looking at him.

Sagawa looked at her reluctantly, then walked away with all his might.

Han Youran and Jiang Xiurong whispered, "Is Comrade Zuo interested in Zhizhi?"

After this heavy snow, it is even more inconvenient to go out.

It seemed as if they had nothing important to do, so they chose to be like everyone else, eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating, and lying on the kang all day without getting up.

The Little New Year is coming soon.

It's not that busy, but it's not that busy either.

Fortunately, they had no worries about food and drink, and they enjoyed their meals to their heart's content every day.

Except for Xia Zhizhi, the other three all seemed to have gained weight.

Jiang Xiurong touched her face and sighed: "This child eats a lot every day. I don't know where all the food goes."

Han Youran said: "I guess it's because its absorption capacity is a little poor. There's nothing we can do about it. We'll just have to take care of it slowly."
