Tong Lin did not rest, after doing this, he went back to the house to get snacks and water, locked the door with the basket on his back, locked the door again, and went to the mountain.

She didn't feel scared of the mountain behind the house, and today she plans to zoom in on the distance to see if she can pick up some more chestnuts.

The dead branches were picked up all the way down the mountain, piled up together and brought back every day, so she climbed to the position of the chestnut tree in one go, and there were some chestnuts scattered on the ground, she did not rush to pick them up, but continued to walk up.

There is no way to go up, and it is difficult to walk, there are many bushes, and from time to time she will be scratched on her face or hands, but fortunately, she has experience in the past few days, and she has wrapped her face in a scarf, showing only two eyes outside.

Walk all the way, step on all the roads you have walked, so that it is convenient to walk when you go down the mountain.

After walking a short distance, Tong Lin found a walnut tree with a piece of fallen walnuts on the ground.

Tong Lin thought about cooking rice or making shaqima with walnuts, and after looking left and right for a week to make sure it was safe, he immediately went over and picked it up, the walnuts are still green, and they have to be processed before the walnuts inside can be exposed.

Soon a basket was installed, although it was still early, Tong Lin did not stay on the mountain for long, carrying walnuts down the mountain, this time the walnuts were full, and they could not hold firewood when they went down the mountain.

Far away from home, she saw two figures standing at the door of the courtyard, Tong Lin thought of what Song Quan said at school today, and had a little more heart, after going down the mountain, he went around to the back of the house, put down the back basket first, and then went around to the mountain road, hugged a few branches, and then went home again.

When I got closer, I saw clearly that the people outside the courtyard were Wang Jingfen and Song Quan.

The two were talking, close together, and did not hear her come back.

When it was closer, Tong Lin saw it clearly, Song Quan gave Wang Jingfen another lecture, Wang Jingfen was doing it seriously, Song Quan was guiding on the side, and Wang Jingfen, who was doing the question seriously, didn't notice that Song Quan's arm was behind her, and his big hand touched Wang Jingfen's fart and thigh.

Shameless.

Tong Lin snapped and threw the firewood to the ground, startling two people, Song Quan took it quickly, and he knew that he was a habitual offender by looking at his actions.

"Tong Zhiqing, you're back." Wang Jingfen turned around and saw the person, and immediately smiled, "I came to look for you, you are not here, it just so happened that Teacher Song came over, so please trouble him to tell me." ”

Tong Lin said, "I just went to collect firewood, I'm a little tired today, what's not going to happen, you can come again tomorrow, come over tomorrow afternoon." ”

In the morning she was going to town.

Wang Jingfen nodded, "Okay." ”

Tong Lin asked Song Quan again, "Is there anything wrong with you coming over?"

"Brother and sister, I came here to ask you, will you go back to town tomorrow? If you go back, let's go back together, there are more than ten miles from here to the town, you have a bicycle, I'll carry you. Song Quan seemed to be very familiar with Tong Lin, and these words came as soon as he opened his mouth.

Tong Lin said, "It's inconvenient. ”

Then he gave a sentence directly, "You are my mother-in-law's stepson, you and Li Weidong have no blood relationship, the two of us are too close, and people will gossip, it just so happens that Wang Jingfen is also here, you can go back together, don't let people misunderstand." “

Wang Jingfen was slightly stunned, she knew the relationship between Song Quan and Tong Lin, but she didn't expect Tong Lin to be so direct and faceless.

Recalling this year in the village, Tong Zhiqing was indeed indifferent to everyone and coldly rejected people thousands of miles away.

At this time, looking at her attitude towards Song Quan, she felt that it was nothing, it was normal.

Song Quan's face was embarrassed, and a look of shame flashed in his eyes, and then he heard Wang Jingfen speak, "Teacher Song, what Tong Zhiqing said is right, people in the village like to gossip behind their backs, don't be picky." ”

When Wang Jingfen helped Tong Lin speak, she also wiped out a kind smile.

She likes Li Weidong, but Li Weidong is already married, and now she asks Tong Zhiqing, Tong Zhiqing has not refused, she also wants to show favor and do her part.

"So that's the case, no wonder my younger siblings have always been indifferent to me, then I know." Song Quan smiled and put his hands in his pockets, "Then we'll see you in the town tomorrow." ”

Tong Lin lowered his face coldly, "Song Quan, we don't know each other, at my uncle's house in the town, I haven't spoken to you, don't say these misleading words." ”

Seeing the knife, Tong Lin didn't give him a chance at all.

Song Quan is not afraid of losing face, so he will continue to talk about it, anyway, he is the one who has no face in the end.

"Good, good, my fault, my fault." Song Quan admitted his mistake with a smile.

His appearance, in the eyes of outsiders, seems to be saying that Tong Lin is willful and has a tantrum, and he is a child with a temper.

Tong Lin gritted his teeth hatefully, "In this case, I hope you will keep your distance from me at school in the future, and don't always come to talk to me, I really don't know you well." ”

Wang Jingfen, an outsider, is not embarrassed to leave at this time, nor is it to leave if he does not go.

Song Quan endured and endured it, and then suppressed the shame and squeezed out a smile, "Okay." ”

"Tong Zhiqing, then let's go first." Wang Jingfen was afraid that it would be more embarrassing to stay, so she immediately said goodbye.

The two left, Tong Lin turned around and went to the back of the house, first came back with firewood, and when he came back, he saw that the two had gone away, and then went to the back of the house to carry the walnuts back.

She put her things away, went to the barn and rummaged through them, found a shovel out, dug a pit on the west side of the yard, poured the walnuts she had picked up into them, and then buried them in the soil, and buried them in this way for a few days, and when the things outside the walnuts rotted and stirred them in the bucket again, they would automatically fall off by themselves, and they didn't have to pick them up one by one.

After getting these, Tong Lin went back to cook noodles for herself, she cooked them in a rice cooker, washed the boiled noodles, put some cabbage before coming out of the pot, and finally put some salt and soy sauce when they were cooked.

The materials for cooking at home are very complete, and Tong Lin dislikes to eat by himself, so it is as simple as it is.

After dark, he took the firewood to the east side of the house, and finally put away all the chestnuts by the lamp in the house.

After a week of drying, the chestnuts were all dry, and she put them all in the warehouse.

On the other side, Wang Jingfen was afraid that Song Quan would be embarrassed, so she explained Tong Lin's indifferent temperament on the way.

"Tong Zhiqing has always been like this, it's not aimed at you, I've been in the village for more than a year, I don't interact with anyone, people look faint, but it's also very easy to talk, don't go to your heart."

Then he said that Tong Lin was wronged and Li Weidong drilled into the shack, "Li Weidong has chased Tong Zhiqing for a year, and Tong Zhiqing has never spoken to him, who would have thought that he would marry him now." ”

Song Quan's heart was overturned, and his anger did not decrease by half a point because of Wang Jingfen's persuasion, but he could suppress it well and listen carefully to the past of Li Weidong and Tong Lin.

"Then why did you marry Li Weidong later?" He asked.

Wang Jingfen shook her head, "I don't know this, after Tong Zhiqing took leave to go home to visit relatives and came back, he had a wedding with Li Weidong, and the people in the village couldn't figure out why." ”

She struggled with her brains, but she couldn't figure it out.

Song Quan smiled, "It's kind of interesting." ”

Wang Jingfen smiled, and there was bitterness hidden in her smile.

Song Quan's eyes paused slightly, "How is Li Weidong?" I also know more, and I'm ashamed to say that I haven't come to see him for so many years. ”
