After hearing what Su Qing said, he brought Daya to the village entrance early the next morning to wait for the ox cart in a very high-profile manner.
"Su Qing, what are these mother and daughter doing so early in the morning?"
"Aunt Liu, wasn't Daya beaten up yesterday? After she went home, she kept complaining of headaches and blurred vision. I was thinking of taking her to the town clinic."
"Has Uncle Zhang seen it?"
"I've checked it out. It turns out Daya's injuries are too serious. Uncle Zhang told me to take the child to the town as soon as possible. Otherwise, why would I spend that much money?"
"That's right. I didn't expect that those children from the He family, despite being quite old, could be so violent. Look at Daya's pale face."
Su Qing forced herself to suppress her smile. That was the sickly makeup she had specially put on Daya in the morning.
Even Su Che believed it when he saw it for the first time, and almost thought that Daya was really injured.
"This is too serious. The ox cart is coming. You should go quickly." Aunt Liu urged Su Qing.
Soon the ox cart was packed with people.
But everyone saw how sick and listless Daya looked, and coupled with the rumor spread yesterday that Daya was about to be beaten to death, they would rather squeeze in than sit next to Su Qing.
I was afraid that if the big girl died, I would be blackmailed.
Su Qing was very happy and comfortable. She could hold the child by herself and didn't have to squeeze with them.
When they arrived in town, Su Qing took the child directly to the health center.
She planned to get some disinfectant and mercurochrome to apply to Daya's wound. The people in the He family were not very particular and often had black mud between their fingernails. She was afraid that Daya's wound would become inflamed.
It was still early when they came out of the health center, and Su Qing planned to take Daya to the black market to see the world.
By the way, I'll buy some textbooks and teach a few children to read, and then send them to school when school starts in September.
It was impossible for her to take the college entrance examination herself as she wanted to focus on her career, but she wanted her children to take it. With her as a mother who had cheats, she didn't believe that her children would not be able to get into the top two universities in the country.
"Come on, Daya, I'll take you to the state-owned restaurant to eat something delicious."
"No need, Mom. It's too expensive. Let's go back." Daya pretended to be weak all morning, and her acting skills were almost at their limit. Now she just wanted to go home and let herself go.
"No, since you're here, go ahead. Just think of it as accompanying your mother."
It's not dinner time yet, so there aren't many people here.
The waiter at the state-owned restaurant took a look at Su Qing. Seeing that she was dressed in ordinary clothes, he wanted to make trouble for her, but when he saw Daya's expression, he gave up the idea.
"What do you want to eat, big sister?"
"Where's today's menu?"
"Here, today we have braised pork, big meat buns, rice, braised pork intestines, and pickled cabbage. Is your child sick? She doesn't look well. The kitchen made chicken soup today. I can sell you a bowl of chicken noodle soup."
"Thank you so much, sister. I'd like a serving of braised pork, a serving of rice, and a bowl of chicken noodle soup."
"It's two dollars and one cent in total. If you have a ticket, you can save twenty cents."
Soon Su Qing's braised pork and chicken noodle soup were served. Su Qing was wondering when the waiters in state-owned restaurants became so easy to talk to. She had heard many examples of waiters looking down on people.
Little did they know that this was all thanks to Daya's blessing.
"Daya, eat quickly, eat more."
These days, the chickens are all pure free-range chickens, and the chicken soup made from them is also very delicious. Daya gave half of it to Su Qing.
After eating the noodles, Su Qing soaked the rice in chicken soup and ate up all the rice and soup.
I didn’t eat a single bite of the braised pork and had to pack it up to take back.
The waiter wrapped Su Qing up with clean lotus leaves and gave Daya two candies before leaving.
Thinking that there were still many things missing at home, Su Qing took Daya straight to the supply and marketing cooperative.
This was Daya’s first time in town, and she found everything strange.
I bought three cans of clam oil, six pairs of yellow rubber shoes, and four pairs of the little girl's favorite embroidered shoes.
Two cans of malted milk, a piece of navy blue cloth, two pounds of peach cakes, one pound of glutinous rice noodles and one pound of White Rabbit milk candy.
Then Su Qing brought Daya to the black market.
Daya watched as her mother took out five pounds of noodles, ten pounds of flour and brown sugar from the backpack as if by magic.
She didn't ask, but stood quietly by and watched her mother bargain skillfully with others.
"Hey, big brother, look at my flour, it's all good flour, and the sugar is also good sugar, there's really no way it can be any lower."
"Sister, I really have no other choice. My wife is in confinement after giving birth. She eats whole grains and corn grits every day. She has no milk to feed the baby. The baby is as thin as a kitten."
Speaking of this, Su Qing thought of the first time he met Si Ya. The little girl was as thin as a kitten. He had to be very careful when sleeping next to her, for fear that he would crush her if he turned over.
"Forget it, forget it. I'll just have less."
After selling all the things, Su Qing took Daya and started to sweep the black market.
Su Qing paid for anything he thought he could use with a wave of his hand.
I also bought two sets of textbooks, from first grade to high school.
Looking at Daya standing aside, she kept clicking her tongue in amazement, wondering when her mother became so generous with her money.
When the two arrived at the place where they had gotten off before, the ox cart was about to leave.
The women looked at Su Qing with all the bags, looking at each other, but they still didn't dare to go up and ask.
When they arrived at the big banyan tree, Su Qing got off the car.
At this time, a group of women and children were already enjoying the cool air and chatting under the big banyan tree.
"Hey, Su Qing is back. Is Daya okay?"
"The doctor said that he might have been hit on the head. There was blood clot in his head, which compressed his optic nerve. That's why he can't see well. If he goes to town more often in the future, maybe he can get cured." Su Qing said while wiping away non-existent tears.
