They had all gone to the countryside. That night, Fang Meili lay in bed, thinking about how Fang Damiao had been with Afang not long ago. Images of Afang's messy bed flashed through her mind. That night he was with her older sister... oh dear, her older sister didn't know... how could someone... oh dear...
Fang Meili was lost in thought when Yuan Xinkang's hand slipped inside her clothes and started to explore. Fang Meili jumped up and went to turn on the light. Yuan Xinkang squinted and blinked, startled by the sudden brightness. "Why did you turn on the light today?"
"Let me look at your genitals."
"Ha!" Yuan Xinkang turned his head away. "What...what do you want to see?"
"Take it off and let me see your crotch." Fang Meili went to take off Yuan Xinkang's underwear.
"The kids aren't home, and you're already going crazy?"
Fang Meili had already taken off Yuan Xinkang's underwear. "Has anyone else touched this?"
No, what's wrong with you today?
Fang Meili's unusual behavior excited Yuan Xinkang even more, and he suddenly pounced on her. "Turn off the lights!" Fang Meili shouted.
"Didn't you want to turn on the light?"
…………
The next day, Fang Huahua went to the vegetable garden again with her basket, so that she could pass by Fang Dongqiang's house.
Fang Damiao got up to rush back to the county town, and just then opened the door and came out with Fang Meixiang.
Fang Meixiang pointed upstairs, "Let him sleep. He has to get up early at school, so let him sleep a little longer during the holidays." Fang Damiao said.
Fang Meixiang nodded and went to have breakfast with Fang Damiao.
When Fang Huahua saw that Fang Damiao had returned, she stopped going to the vegetable garden and went to Fang Yu's house instead.
"Fang Yu, Dong Qiang is back, but he hasn't gotten up yet. When are you going to go see him?"
"This afternoon, please." Fang Yu looked at Fang Huahua, who was still carrying a vegetable basket. "Huahua, you don't need to be in such a hurry. I told you not to come to me before you even picked your vegetables."
"I saw it and wanted to tell you as soon as possible!"
"Yeah, I'm fine too. I'll go pick vegetables with you."
"Do you want to pass by Fang Dongqiang's house?" Fang Huahua smiled and winked.
"Fang Huahua, you have no conscience! You've been running around picking vegetables every day to see if Fang Dongqiang has come back. I want to keep you company too. Let's not take this road from his house, let's take another road." Fang Yu closed the door and walked down another road.
"No, no, we'll take this road." Fang Huahua pulled him over.
“You’re the one who made me take this path!” Fang Yu stood still.
“Okay, I’m the one who wants you to take this path.” Fang Huahua pulled Fang Yu hard again.
As they passed Fang Dongqiang's house, Fang Yu stared straight ahead, while Fang Huahua walked around to the front of her to look at her.
“Look up at his apartment building. It’s okay, nobody saw you. I’m the only one who knows. I’ll call out for you.” Fang Huahua deliberately opened her mouth wide. “Fang…”
Fang Yu quickly covered Fang Huahua's mouth, "What are you doing?"
Fang Huahua giggled and ran forward, and Fang Yu chased after her. The two played around in the field, where there were green vegetables, radishes, and scallions. "Huahua, what do you want to pick?"
"Actually, we still have vegetables at home. I picked some yesterday, so we don't need to pick any today. I only came to the vegetable garden because of you."
Fang Yu glanced at Fang Huahua and smiled sheepishly, "Shall we take the empty vegetable basket back?"
"Let's pick a few scallions!"
Fang Yu squatted down next to the scallions, but Fang Huahua quickly stopped her, saying, "Don't pick them, I'll do it. It'll smell bad if you touch them." Fang Huahua had already pulled up a clump, shaken off the dirt, and put it in the basket.
"Is that all?" Fang Yu asked.
"That's enough, scallions aren't even used as a vegetable for cooking."
Fang Yu looked at the huge vegetable basket with only a few scallions lying there forlornly, and burst out laughing, covering her mouth. Fang Huahua also laughed heartily, "Oh, do you want any vegetables? Pick them yourself."
"No, I can't eat that much by myself."
"Are your mom and the others coming back soon?"
"It should be soon."
On the way back, Fang Yu said she wanted to go straight home and take a different route that wouldn't pass by Fang Dongqiang's house.
Fang Huahua carried her basket home. Just as she arrived at Fang Dongqiang's house, Fang Dongqiang came out and said he was going to his grandmother's house for dinner.
When Fang Huahua saw Fang Dongqiang, she stomped her feet in frustration. Fang Yu had run into Fang Dongqiang as soon as they came over, and now they had to take another route.
"Dongqiang!" Fang Huahua called out.
"Hmph!" Fang Dongqiang had just closed the door when he turned around.
"Fang Yu is looking for you."
"Fang Yu is looking for me?"
"Yes, she just passed by before you got up. She's home now, at home."
"Oh." Fang Dongqiang nodded. "I'll go to my grandma's house first."
Fang Huahua nodded, slung her basket over her shoulder, and hurried home. After putting down the basket, she went to Fang Yu's house.
Fang Shugen's mother was acting strangely all day, and she herself was also out of her mind. In the past, she would have started scolding Huahua long ago, saying that she had been gone for so long and came back with only a few scallions in her shopping basket.
"Fang Yu!" she called as she entered the door, "I just ran into Dong Qiang, and you're going to go the other way again."
"Huahua, it's okay. He's on holiday and at home. You've been running around all morning doing this."
Fang Huahua grinned, "I want you to see him soon!"
"Huahua, there's nothing between him and me, I just wanted to ask you something. Nothing else," Fang Yu quickly explained.
"I just want to help you. So, are you going to wait for him to come to you, or go to him later?"
"I think he won't come to my house."
"I'll go with you to his maternal grandmother's house."
"Now?" Fang Yu hesitated.
"When is that? I need to go home to make lunch later. In the afternoon? What if he goes out to play in the afternoon?"
"Okay." Fang Yu closed the door again and walked towards Fang Meixiang's house with Fang Huahua.
Fang Damiao went back to the county town after breakfast, as the wholesale business was busy during the Spring Festival.
"Tingting, do you want to go play with Fang Yu?" Fang Dongqiang asked Yuan Tingting while eating breakfast, as he was too embarrassed to go find Fang Yu himself.
“Okay, I’m going to visit Sister Fang Yu. You can come to her house with me.”
“I’ll take you there,” Fang Dongqiang said again. “I’ll drop you off and then come right back.”
"Okay, I'll play at her house by myself. Go tell Grandma."
“You want to go? Tell me, tell me you want me to take you.”
"Oh!" Yuan Tingting ran over to tell Fang Meixiang's mother.
"Let's go this afternoon, it's almost noon. I'll be cooking lunch later, you two watch over Fangfang." Fang Meixiang's mother sat at the door with Yuan Fangfang, chatting with the neighbors.
“Brother will come back after dropping me off. Brother, if you want to see Fangfang, you can bring Fangfang with you too.”
"Fangfang is too young and doesn't understand, so we can't take her."
"Tingting!" Fang Yu and Fang Huahua have arrived.
"Sister Fang Yu, I was just about to go to your house." Yuan Tingting saw Fang Yu coming over and took her hand.
Hearing this from inside, Fang Dongqiang immediately put down his bowl and ran out. "Fang Yu! I heard you..." Seeing that there were adults around, Fang Dongqiang added, "You guys are on holiday too?"
"Okay!" Fang Yu nodded.
"Sister Fangyu, let's go out and play. Shall we go pick chestnuts like last time?" Yuan Fangfang suggested.
“There are no chestnuts now, Tingting, it’s past the season,” Fang Dongqiang said.
"Hehehe, city kids don't know anything about the countryside," the neighbor chuckled.
"Where should we go? I want to go out and have some fun."
Fang Yu didn't want to ask Fang Dongqiang here either; she wanted to go out too. "Let's go play by the stream."
"Don't go to the water's edge," Fang Meixiang's mother advised.
"Grandma Dongqiang, let's just walk on the pebble beach by the stream, not by the water. The water isn't rushing right now. I'll keep an eye on Tingting."
"Okay, I'm relieved that Tingting is with you. She's always liked being with you since she was little."
“Fangfang will come too. Huahua and I can take her along. We can just play with the pebbles on the side.” Fang Yu glanced at Fang Dongqiang.
"I," Fang Meixiang's mother said before Fang Dongqiang could speak, "Okay, Dongqiang will go too, and keep an eye on your little sister."
"Huahua, call Jingming and come with us. We'll be waiting for you at home," Fang Dongqiang said to Huahua.
"Okay, I'll go get him." Fang Huahua rushed home immediately.
The neighbor got up, patted his bottom, and said, "I've been sitting here all morning, I'm going home too."
"Why are you calling him here again?" Fang Meixiang's mother asked softly as she pulled Fang Dongqiang into the house.
"I'm a guy, and I'm with all these women?"
Fang Meixiang's mother brought out a few strips of hawthorn candy and a bag of Maltesers from the house. "Fang Yu, take this."
"Grandma Dongqiang, I don't want her. I'm so old already, I don't want her," Fang Yu declined.
"Here you go. Are your parents coming back soon?"
"They'll be back soon. They wrote last time saying they'd be back in a few days after my vacation." Speaking of writing the letter, Fang Yu glanced at Fang Dongqiang again, who frowned at her.
