During the time when Song Yingwan and Tang Xiaotang went to Hongying's sister-in-law's house, another major event happened at the Educated Youth Point, that is, Liu Yingying came to the Educated Youth Point to express her gratitude.
This shocked everyone. Xie Ci rarely spoke at the Educated Youth Center, and he was cold and indifferent when getting along with others. Except for Xu Lang, who usually got closer to him, he never said a few words to anyone else. , it’s quite surprising that such a person got so close to the captain’s daughter out of nowhere.
But when everyone thinks about the face of the person who said thank you, there is nothing surprising.
After Qu Xiaoling called her thank you out, the two of them stayed outside for a while and didn't know what they said. Soon they came back after saying thank you. Their faces were still plain, making it hard for people to guess what they were talking about. Even Xu Lang couldn't help but glance at him worriedly.
Although everyone was curious, no one asked. They just guessed in their hearts that the thank you might have reached a high branch. After all, he didn't usually look like he was in good condition. He was just lucky enough to have a good skin.
Only Qu Xiaoling looked at the thank you with eyes full of anger, as if he was a heartless man.
As for why Liu Yingying came to thank her, it was actually nothing. Liu Yingying saw that it had rained today and her father was wet when he came back. She thought that those educated youths must have been wet too, so she stole the brown sugar from the captain's wife. come out.
She had no choice but to wait for a long time, but the captain's wife was unwilling to give her the brown sugar, so she had no choice but to use this method. She wanted to borrow flowers and Buddhas to say goodbye and send warmth, just to shorten the distance between the two of them.
Xie Ci had no impression of Liu Yingying at all, and of course he wouldn't want the things she gave her. Besides, he was a grown man and didn't need brown sugar.
When Xie declined, Liu Yingying looked unbelievable. She wanted to speak again but was interrupted by Xie, "I'm sorry, who are you?"
Liu Yingying's heart was hurt again. She talked here for a long time, but she didn't expect that people didn't even know who she was. She suddenly felt that all her dignity had been lost, and she didn't want to say anything more, so she turned around and ran away with her things.
Xie Ci didn't take this matter to heart, and he didn't know how big a sensation it caused in the educated youth spot. In fact, even if he knew about it, he wouldn't explain it. These people were just watching the fun.
It was already the next day when Song Yingwan found out. She was also surprised, but she thought differently from others. She thought this was Liu Yingying's own unilateral idea. She always felt that the thank you speech would not be a single one. Trapped in this small village, he didn't even belong here.
After observing for a few days, Qu Xiaoling also discovered that Liu Yingying just had unrequited love and Xie Ci had no thoughts about her. This made Qu Xiaoling feel that there was still hope, but she planned to take the initiative this time. Originally, she wanted to be with her at the same time. The step-by-step approach under one roof simply won’t work now. The thank you speech is just a piece of wood. I don’t know if it will take hundreds of years to do it step by step.
After changing her strategy, Qu Xiaoling also took action immediately. That day Xie Ci was sitting under the eaves reading a book. When Qu Xiaoling saw no one around, she walked up and said in a soft voice, "Xie Zhiqing, I see you read a lot, and I also If I want to improve myself, could you recommend some books to me?"
Xie Ci holds a book in one hand, and flips through the pages slowly with the other. His bones are distinct, his fingers are thin and slender, and a faint cyan color can be seen under his cold white skin.
He didn't speak for a long time, which made Qu Xiaoling wonder if he heard. After turning another page, he said calmly, "The books I read are very complicated and I can't give you any help. You can find someone else."
The voice was low, pure and magnetic. Qu Xiaoling would have enjoyed such a beautiful voice if he ignored his image, but now it sounded so harsh.
She looked a little confused. She took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Really? That's really unfortunate."
When Qu Xiaoling didn't know whether to leave or stay, she turned around and saw Song Yingwan watching at the door, her face suddenly looked ugly.
Song Yingwan also felt very embarrassed. She had just gone to Hongying's sister-in-law's house to return her things, and when she came back she heard such an exciting conversation. It was actually nothing, but it was a bit strange when it came to these two people.
After Qu Xiaoling found out about Song Yingwan, she turned around and went back to the house without even saying hello. She just thanked her and was still sitting there like no one else. Song Yingwan didn't know if she should go in at this time.
After Qu Xiaoling left, she looked at Song Yingwan standing at the door, her expression still cold, and she didn't know what she was thinking. Song Yingwan saw the presence of his old god and realized that this matter had nothing to do with her. Why was she guilty here?
After thinking about it, she walked in boldly, without squinting. If she hadn't walked faster and faster behind, Xie Ci would have thought that she was really so confident and fearless.
When Song Yingwan entered the house, everyone was sleeping. When Qu Xiaoling saw her coming in, she glared at her fiercely and lay down with her eyes closed, as if she was out of sight.
Song Yingwan almost laughed angrily. She didn't know how to find a place where no one was around to talk to herself. How could she blame her?
I'm so used to her!
Song Yingwan also rolled his eyes at her, and then he lay down and took the time to rest for a while. He had to work in the afternoon.
On this day, Hongying's sister-in-law asked Song Yingwan to go to the back mountain to pick mushrooms and wild vegetables. She said that there was a lot of rain during this period, and the mushrooms on the mountain had grown. Whatever you picked was a good dish.
People in Liujia Village rely on the mountains to eat. When they have nothing to do, they go to the back mountains to look for some wild vegetables and mushrooms to change their taste. The most important thing is that they don’t have to spend money. When the season comes, everyone is very active. After all, There were only so many things, and they didn't dare to go deep, so they just wandered around the outside of the mountain.
Song Yingwan had never picked mushrooms before, so she was very interested in it, so she took Tang Xiaotang to go with her. After hearing this, Aunt Guihua here also shouted to go, and complained that Sister-in-law Hongying didn't want to think about her. Sister-in-law Hongying was almost speechless.
Song Yingwan didn't think it was a big deal to watch the fun. He just watched the two of them talking to each other without helping anyone. It was quite interesting.
After lunch, Song Yingwan and Tang Xiaotang held hands and went to Hongying's sister-in-law's house to meet up. They looked pretty decent carrying a small bamboo basket on their backs.
When they arrived, Aunt Guihua was already waiting there. There was not much time at noon, so she went to the back mountain without saying anything. On the way, I also met many villagers going to the mountain together in twos and threes. The mountain has been used by the people of Liujia Village for so many years and there is already a small path. It is not difficult to climb along the road.
The vegetation on the mountain is dense, the temperature is lower than below, the air is fresh, cool and comfortable, which makes people feel much better. Sister-in-law Hongying and Aunt Guihua took the two newlyweds with them, and they didn't dare to go too far inside, so they went to the place where they usually went.
Song Yingwan stood there for a while and saw several mushrooms, but she only knew a few famous ones and didn't dare to pick them. Tang Xiaotang didn't know any of them. Sister-in-law Hongying and Aunt Guihua could only pick one each. , first teach them to recognize some common edible mushrooms.
As they picked, the two of them seemed to have enlightened themselves, and they recognized mushrooms roughly. It was interesting and fresh for the first time, and they couldn't stop for a while. Song Yingwan even picked this in hope. With that in mind, I was still a little bit unfinished when I left.
Sister-in-law Hongying and Aunt Guihua are not as restless as the two of them. They not only picked mushrooms but also dug wild vegetables. They also harvested a lot. If you can’t eat them all after picking them, you can dry them and store them. In winter, these things will be Even rarer.
It's cold here in the winter, so there are only radishes and cabbages, not even a single green leaf. I can only store more dried vegetables on weekdays so that I can change my taste in winter.
They went back to the educated youth point. When they returned to the educated youth point, everyone was packing up and getting ready to go to work. Xu Xiuyu saw Song Yingwan and Tang Xiaotang coming back from outside carrying baskets on their backs. When they got closer, they saw that they were full of mushrooms. , said with a smile: "I said, why didn't I see you two when I got up? Did you go to the back mountain?"
Song Yingwan put down the bamboo basket behind her and nodded, "I went with my sister-in-law from the village."
Lin Zhi on the side saw it and came over. She smiled and said, "Hey, we picked mushrooms here. It's just the right time to add another dish tonight. We're in for a treat."
Song Yingwan smiled and said nothing. Together with Xu Xiuyu, they poured the mushrooms into the ground to dry. The two of them picked half a basket each, but they didn't pour out much. It was really the amount of a dish.
Others heard the commotion and came over to take a look. The old educated youth seemed not surprised, but the new educated youth were a little excited. They almost vomited after eating beans every day, and today they finally had a change of taste.
Chen Xiangdong, who was on the side, came over and took a look at the things on the ground. He was a little dissatisfied and said, "Why do you just pick whatever you want? It's not enough to share a few bites."
Qu Xiaoling also agreed, "It's not even enough to squeeze it between your teeth."
Song Yingwan gritted her teeth and said with a half-smile, "Did I tell you two to eat it? You are so shameless!"
Qu Xiaoling's face sank when someone said that in public, "What do you mean?"
The good-tempered Tang Xiaotang couldn't help it anymore, "Don't you understand people's words? I just don't mean to feed you! The things we picked are not just to stuff your teeth!"
Song Yingwan was also a little surprised that Tang Xiaotang dared to criticize others. This girl has a future!
Chen Xiangdong's face didn't look good either, "What about Song Zhiqing? We were just joking."
Song Yingwan said with a straight face, "I'm not kidding you."
Qu Xiaoling, "I don't care if it's just some rotten mushrooms."
Tang Xiaotang scored twice, "I wonder why you are still standing here! I have never seen a rotten mushroom!"
Qu Xiaoling was choked by her, gave them both a hard look, knocked away the person behind her, and left. Chen Xiangdong didn't want to be humiliated one after another, so he shook his fists and went out.
