"Is it Mu Jin who is here?"
Chen Yuehua said this and walked out of the kitchen.
Su Mujin looked towards Chen Yuehua, "Mom, it's me! This little girl is here to borrow salt. Mom, do you know whose child this is?"
Only then did Chen Yuehua notice that there was a child.
After a closer look, I recognized it instantly.
"I know. This is the granddaughter of the Zhang family. She was just sent here today. You want to borrow some salt? Give me the bowl and I'll fill it for you!"
The little girl was very nervous, but still handed the bowl to Chen Yuehua.
Su Mujin also heard Chen Yuehua's unspoken meaning, but she didn't ask too much in front of the little girl.
Chen Yuehua quickly filled a small bowl of salt, but did not hand it to the little girl. "It's too dark. I'll take you there!"
Upon hearing this, Su Mujin hurriedly said, "Mom, I'll go!"
"That's fine too. It's the Zhang family in front of us. You can take her inside. It's dark and the road is hard to walk on. She's young and could easily fall if she walks with the bowl in her arms."
"Mom, I understand. Don't worry, I will definitely send her home safely."
Su Mujin held the bowl in one hand and stretched out the other hand to hold the little girl's hand, "Let's go, I'll hold your hand."
The little girl hesitated for a moment, then timidly held Su Mujin's hand.
As soon as the two hands were held together, Su Mujin frowned.
Why is this little hand so cold?
The two walked out of the yard together and headed towards Zhang's house.
The Zhang family's house is in the row in front of the Song family's, and it only takes two minutes to walk there.
As soon as I walked into Zhang's yard, I heard voices coming from the living room.
The noise was so loud, it didn't seem like there were just one or two people, so there must be quite a few people.
The moment Su Mujin appeared at the door, everyone in the room looked over.
After a moment of silence, Captain Zhang's wife Wu Chunxia stood up and spoke to Su Mujin with a smile.
"It's Qi Nian's wife! Why are you here?"
Su Mujin smiled and handed the bowl over. "I just came here and happened to meet this little girl on her way to my house. It was dark and the road was hard to walk. I was worried that she would have trouble walking with the bowl, so I brought her here."
"Oh!" Wu Chunxia smiled nonchalantly. "What's so hard about walking? It's only two steps away! Besides, who among the kids who grew up in the countryside doesn't fall a dozen or so times a day? They're tough! But if the bowl gets broken or the salt gets spilled, that's a real problem. Thank you so much!"
Su Mujin felt uncomfortable after hearing what Wu Chunxia said.
What this means is that it's okay if the little girl falls, but it's a pity if the bowl breaks and the salt spills?
Having lived here for such a long time, Su Mujin must have known that in this era, supplies were scarce and supplied with tickets, so whether it was food or drink, one had to cherish it very much.
But no matter how valuable something is, it shouldn't be more valuable than a person, right?
How could Wu Chunxia say such things as if it were a matter of course?
While Su Mujin was still thinking, Wu Chunxia had already taken the bowl and said, "Qinian, it's getting late. You should hurry up!"
