Chapter 20 Warm Daily
There are still ten days before delivery.
In the past ten days, the people of Taoxi Village are in full swing.
With hope and hope, I can’t wait to take root in the ground 24 hours a day. I hope that within this time, the watermelons and sweet potatoes can grow longer.
While there was still enough time, two more foliar fertilizers were urgently applied on the ground.
Zhang Xifeng’s family’s two-acre melon field was basically covered by the help of the villagers, but in the end she had almost nothing to do.
Zhang’s family courtyard was bustling like never before. Every day, people would come to visit, chat with her, and bring some small things to Qiqi by the way.
Among them, the most brought in are the old clothes and some old fabrics of the children of each family.
Zhang Xifeng took advantage of his free time to sew and change them all, adding several sets of small clothes to Qiqi.
Little baby grows fast, and a set of clothes will have to be changed after a while.
Put it in the countryside, in order to save some money, and each family is not rich at first, so the children’s clothes are mostly picked up from old clothes, or changed or mended.
Everyone came here like this, there is nothing to be suspicious of.
Moreover, this is all the big guy’s gratitude and kindness to Qiqi.
Zhang Xifeng understands this reasoning, but she also made up her mind to buy two new sets for her Qiqi when money becomes looser.
Others have, as long as she can afford it, she can’t lose money.
Qiqi can’t just be envious of others.
…
On the other side of the river at the entrance of the village, a few old buffaloes nestled by the river after eating and drinking, mooing lazily from time to time.
A group of cow herding boys in the village gather together, and there are always various small games to play.
Qiqi has now become one of them.
It’s just that she didn’t come to herd cattle, but took the opportunity to play and cut pigweed.
“Qiqi, I told you to come out to play, why do you have to cut pigweed every time you come here?”
Li Tiedan followed behind Qi Qi, frowning and complaining.
Qiqi put the hogweed she had cut into the small basket, wiped off her sweat, and smiled at Li Tiedan, “I’ll play with you when the small basket is full, and it will be soon.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you. Anyway, you didn’t come, Huazi and the others are not willing to play first.”
Huazi is eight years old, plus he is the grandson of the old village chief. Among the group of little kids, he is the king of kids.
He came over to help Qiqi arrange the pigweed in the basket neatly, “My grandma said, Qiqi is young, let’s take care of her more.”
Several other children also came over, “Anyway, we are tired of playing those games, why not listen to Qiqi tell stories, it is very interesting.”
“Qiqi, tell us about the city again? Is it fun there? Is it very, very big?”
“I heard that there is a long, long green leather train in the city, and it makes a noise. Have you seen Qiqi?”
Little kids, chattering around Qiqi.
Qiqi didn’t find it annoying either, and always had a smile on her face.
Before in Daqu Village, the children in the village would not take her to play.
They always like to throw stones at her, call her a mangy monkey, and together with Tian Xiaohu call her a wild bastard.
So now that she has friends, Qiqi feels very happy.
She patiently answered the questions of her friends, “The city is very big, much bigger than the town. There are very tall buildings there, and there are many four-wheeled cars on the street… Well, the city The people are also very well dressed, and they all work in factories.”
“Wow, the city is so nice, I will go to the city in the future!” Li Tiedan clenched his fist and set a small goal.
The other little dolls echoed their yearning.
Qiqi tilted her head and thought for a while, but said nothing.
She doesn’t like the city.
She prefers Taoxi Village.
Because here, there are people who treat her sincerely.
As the sun went down, calls came from the entrance of the village one after another. The adults raised their voices, calling their children to go home for dinner, and their voices were drawn out.
Qiqi pricked up her ears, and soon, she heard her mother-in-law’s familiar voice calling, “Qiqi, you’re home, you have to eat dinner.”
Qi Qi immediately put her hands around her mouth and responded loudly, “Hey! Mother-in-law, I’ll be right back!”
A group of little dolls, each took their own cattle, put on a small basket on their backs, and walked home laughing and laughing.
The sky is still full of haze, and the smoke is curling up.
The loneliness and coldness rendered in the evening were all washed away by the laughter of the children.
All the innocent and bright smiling faces, unfolding against the wind, full of vigor and vitality.
Back home, Qiqi dumped the pigweed in the small basket in the yard, washed it in the evening and dried it, and cut everything up in the morning to make pigs and feed them to the pigs.
Zhang Xifeng was very helpless about the fact that her doll always brought pigweed back every time she went out to play.
“My mother-in-law can cut pigweed, and the sweet potato vines in our field can also be cut to feed pigs, so I don’t have to go far to find them.”
Qiqi always purses her lips and smiles shallowly at this time, “Grandmother, I cut it by the way, I didn’t look for it specially. Brother Hua Zi and Brother Tie Jun have hogweed next to the place where they look at the cows.”
“You, I just can’t be free.” Smiling and scolding the baby, fetched water for her to wash her hands, served the food on the table, and talked with each other while eating dinner.
This scene has become a daily routine in Zhang’s small courtyard.
Laughing softly, the yard is full of warmth.
…
That night.
Huicheng Commercial Center City.
Top floor of Taifeng Real Estate Office Building.
Song Yueliang wore a white shirt and black trousers, and sat on the large boss chair. On the business desk were completed business affairs, piled up like a mountain.
The indoor lights are as bright as day, reflecting the woman’s cool and powerful atmosphere even more strongly.
The surroundings were quiet, the swishing sound of the tip of the pen falling on the paper could be heard clearly, and Song Yueliang stopped when he wrote the last signature on the spread document.
As soon as he stopped, he unconsciously thought of that little doll in his mind.
Slapped a small face, delicate features, very thin.
Song Yueliang closed her eyes, raised her hand to pinch the center of her eyebrows, showing a trace of fatigue.
She does have a special affection for three or four-year-old dolls. When she sees a doll of this age on the road, she always pays more attention unconsciously.
But that’s all.
Only the little girl named Qiqi is so unique that it seems to be able to affect her emotions.
Even if it has been more than ten days since that accidental encounter, whenever she is free, she will still be disturbed.
With mixed emotions, the phone on the desk rang.
Song Yueliang picked up the phone, and Dong Wangshu’s energetic voice came from the other end of the phone immediately, “Yueyue, the packing box has been brought back, do you want to come over tomorrow to help Zhangyan? Wait for the batch of fruits and vegetables from Taoxi Village to arrive, I’m going to be a blockbuster!”
“When will the fruits and vegetables in Taoxi Village arrive?”
“The day after tomorrow!” Dong Wangshu said, “The big truck will go to pick up the goods in the morning, and the first batch will arrive at noon at the latest.”
Song Yueliang lowered her eyes, rubbed her cold white fingertips on the black body of her big brother for a moment, and then opened her lips, “I will spare a day the day after tomorrow. You and I will go to Taoxi Village to see the situation.”
Dong Wangshu, “…???”
She is a small boss, she can just sit in the office and do overall planning, why should she go to the mountains for a field trip?
The little boss dared not ask.
The little boss nodded with tears in his eyes.
