"Adopt a godparent?"
"Yes, Mom said she would recognize him as her godfather and bring him to Shuixiang Village to live out her retirement."
"Does the village chief allow it?"
"We're not eating the village's public grain, so why shouldn't we? Just listen to Mom. I'll talk to Hei Ye soon. We should pack up and go back."
They've both been out for a week.
If I don't go back, the villagers will gossip about me again.
"Okay, then I'll tell Meilan."
"Okay, by the way, let's go to Hei Ye's place tonight and store his things in the space town."
"He's an old man and doesn't need much food, so forget about the pension."
"Whether or not, we have to take all the things away. Nowhere else is safer than in our warehouse. I'll ask Hei Ye someday if we should donate these antiques to the country when the situation improves."
"OK."
The first thing Tang Meilan did when she heard that Su Qing was going back to Shuixiang Village was to plunder the supply and marketing cooperative.
I wish I could take everything back to Su Qing.
"Okay, okay, I can't eat that much. I'm also with two kids, so it's not easy to take the bus if I carry too much."
Peach cakes, glutinous rice noodles, fried rice cakes, honey, dried persimmon cakes...
"Not much, just snacks for Daya and the others. Oh, and there are clothes, too, made for them. I made them a little bigger, in case they were too small. You can pick them up when you come to my house for dinner tonight."
Unable to refuse, Su Qing had no choice but to carry these things back to the guesthouse.
"Cheng Fangyi, let's go to Meilan's house for dinner tonight."
"Okay, I just happened to get a bag of apples from Heiye. I'll bring them over when we eat."
"Then tell Hei Ye that we won't be over for dinner tonight."
After packing her luggage, Su Qing took her two children to take a nap.
Xiaowu and Xiaoliu are simply replicas of the "Cheng Fangyi brand" heater. Even if Cheng Fangyi is not around, Su Qing doesn't worry about not having a warm bed.
When the mother and her two children woke up again, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.
Unlike the previous times when she was woken up by the children, the two children were very quiet today, which made Su Qing a little uncomfortable.
"Little Five and Little Six, get up. Mommy will help you get dressed. We're going to go to godmother's house for dinner soon."
Su Qing patted the two kids hiding under the quilt.
Xiaowu didn't reach out for a hug as usual, but shrank to the other end of the bed.
If the child is quiet, he must be up to something.
Su Qing's temples were throbbing.
"Mom, I wet the bed and it stinks." Xiaoliu was the first to surrender.
He lifted the quilt and crawled towards Su Qing unsteadily.
The cotton trousers on my body became very heavy because they absorbed water.
Xiaowu glared at Xiaoliu, as if to say, "Xiaoliu, you traitor! You promised to use your body temperature to dry the wet bed."
Xiaoliu pouted and snorted.
He is not stupid. He will be treated leniently if he confesses. At most he will be scolded a few times, which is better than getting a cold shoulder.
"Xiaowu, you wet the bed too."
Su Qing said this in a very affirmative tone.
Xiao Wu felt a little ashamed and buried his head in the quilt, facing Su Qing and Xiao Liu with his buttocks, "Mom, I wet the bed, it's cold."
"Now you know it's cold. Why didn't you tell me when you needed to pee? It smells so bad. How can you sleep at night?"
After changing the pants for the two children, Cheng Fangyi also came back from outside.
The family of four came to the Tang family again.
Xiaowu and Xiaoliu went to find Zijun and Zimei as soon as they entered the door.
Cheng Fangyi was dragged by Tang's father to play chess. Su Qing went to the kitchen to help Tang's mother. Tang Meilan had not yet finished get off work.
"Xiaoqing, thank you so much. I don't know how I could have helped you with such a great favor."
"It's okay, auntie. We are all family, so there's no need for such polite words."
Tang's mother knew that her family benefited from Meilan, her daughter-in-law, and secretly decided to be extra nice to her in the future.
Birds of a feather flock together, and with a sister like Su Qing having such a personality, Tang Meilan is naturally not much worse.
After dinner, Tang Meilan sent Su Qing and others out of the house.
"Xiaoqing, you must be careful when you go back, okay? Next time you come, send a telegram in advance and I will ask my father to pick you up at the station." Tang Meilan said reluctantly, holding Su Qing's hand.
"Okay, then we'll go back first. If you need anything, just let me know. I don't have any special skills, but I can still handle most of the work."
"I know, I know."
"Xiaowu and Xiaoliu, say goodbye to your godmother."
"Goodbye, godmother."
"Goodbye, godmother."
…
Su Qing looked at the gradually blurred figure and felt a lump in his throat.
Cheng Fangyi put his arm around Su Qing's shoulders and said, "If you want to meet, we'll come."
Su Qing said "hmm".
The adult world is not easy. Being tied up in work, family and children, even a small step is a huge leap.
I don’t know when we will meet again.
However, Xiaowu and Xiaoliu were still playing with the rattles that Tang's father gave them.
Little people don’t know what it feels like to be separated from their loved ones.
The crisp sound of drums was accompanied by silver bell-like laughter, and the blue brick alley gradually faded out of sight.
…
At night, Su Qing and Cheng Fangyi, half-disguised, came to Hei Ye's basement.
Su Qing thought Cheng Fangyi's description was exaggerated, but only after seeing it for himself did he understand what a wealthy family was.
Not to mention the countless large and small yellow croakers, just the extinct famous paintings made Su Qing's heart tremble.
"Cheng Fangyi, I feel uneasy holding these things."
"Let's just consider ourselves as custodians. It's still Mr. Hei's decision on how to deal with the situation in the future."
