Chapter 10: Eating together
"You, don't cry first, I said the wrong thing, I apologize to you."
Tang Xiaoxiao turned her face, but her head was lowered, her nails pinched her palms hard, and Song Jingzhi just saw Douda's tears dripping from her face onto her skirt.
"Don't cry, I won't coax people, I just think it's not easy for anyone now, I ......"
"Then, otherwise, I'll make you soup every day, and I'll eat with you at your house, okay?" She looked up at him, clear eyes staring at him.
There were still tears in his eyes, and tears were still hanging on his face, Song Jingzhi felt as if a position in his heart had been hit.
"You don't have to give me money, and I don't have to give you money, okay?" She leaned forward.
Song Jingzhi felt as if he smelled the fragrance of gardenias, and was stunned, "Okay." ”
"That's what you promised." Tang Xiaoxiao burst into tears and laughed.
"Huh?" He looked at her, and he wanted to say something, but stopped the moment he saw the two small dimples on her face.
"I still have about thirty catties of rice, I will bring it in the afternoon, and when my rice is finished, you will be responsible for my food. But don't worry, I don't eat much, and I don't have to eat fine grains every meal. ”
"Okay." He nodded.
"Eat it, it's going to be cold in a while."
"Okay." He didn't understand, how did things get to this point?
After he finished eating, Tang Xiaoxiao was ready to go back, "I'll come back in the afternoon." ”
After speaking, she carried the bamboo basket out of the room.
“......”
"Little Tang Zhiqing, I'm really embarrassed, our family Jingzhi is a straight-tempered person and can't say nice things." As soon as Mother Song saw her come out, she immediately made amends to her.
"Auntie, it's okay, auntie, you call me Xiaoxiao, I always call Xiao Tang Zhiqing weird, I still have to come every day."
"Okay, then the aunt will call you Xiaoxiao." Mother Song said with a smile, the more she looked at this girl, the more she liked it.
"Auntie, I'll go back first."
"Eh, okay."
Waiting for Tang Xiaoxiao to walk away, Father Song came out of the hall, "This little Tang Zhiqing won't take a fancy to us Jingzhi, right?" ”
"What do you want to eat? Just our son, can such a good girl take a fancy to him? It has to be the smoke coming from our ancestral grave. ”
"Mother, come in." Song Jingzhi's shouts came from the room.
"Look, this is a debt collector, can I count on him to find me a daughter-in-law?" Mother Song looked at Father Song.
"You go in quickly, take out the spittoon by the way, I'll brush it."
"Got it."
Mother Song walked into the room and looked at her son angrily, "What are you doing?" ”
"Mother, Tang Zhiqing is partnering at home, please cook more in the future, I will pay for her food." Song Jingzhi was a little embarrassed when he said this.
"Yo, have you gotten the hang of it?" Mother Song looked at him with interest.
"No, she doesn't take my money, I, I, whoa, that's it anyway."
When Mother Song heard that Tang Xiaoxiao confiscated the money, didn't she take advantage of others? "Son, that's not going to work."
"That's why she cried."
"This ......" Song's mother thought for a moment, "Otherwise, when you're well, let's go to the department store to buy some things for her, in short, we can't take advantage of people in vain." ”
"Well, it depends on the situation then, mother, I'll give you an extra ten yuan a month, and you can make the food better."
Before, Song Jingzhi gave all the allowances to his parents every month, and later the family built a green tile house, and Song's mother was only willing to ask him for ten yuan a month for pension.
This time he came back to recuperate, because he needed to supplement nutrition and take care of his parents, Song Jingzhi gave his parents thirty yuan a month.
"Thirty yuan is already up to the sky, so there is no need to give more." Thirty dollars a month is not used up.
"Mother, I now have a monthly allowance of more than 100 yuan, I have money."
"That's what you exchanged for your life, you can just keep it and marry a daughter-in-law for me as soon as possible."
"Mother, you're here again."
"Come on and on, you're 25 years old, and others are your age, and children can make soy sauce......"
"Mother, mother, mother, I have a headache, I sleep." Saying that, Song Jingzhi lay down and closed his eyes.
"I'm so angry, I'll forget you." Mother Song glared at him and went out with a spittoon.
After Tang Xiaoxiao went back, he took out the half-catty white rabbit toffee he bought in the morning, took out two boxes of big front doors from the space, wrapped them in things, and went to the village chief's house.
She now has to bring soup to Song Jingzhi every day, and she has to take care of him often, and she has to show up in front of him often, otherwise how can she make him trust herself.
So she had to discuss with the village chief about going to work, to see if there was any easier work, she could not earn work, anyway, she did not rely on work to live.
The layout of the southern courtyard is similar, and the main difference is to see how many rooms are brought in the back.
"Is the village chief at home?" Tang Xiaoxiao stood at the door and shouted into the hall.
"At home." In the hall, Aunt Wu's voice came, and people also came out.
"Yo, Tang Zhiqing, do you have anything to do with your village chief's uncle? He's here, come in. ”
She followed Aunt Wu into the hall, where Song Jianguo was sitting on a chair drinking tea and smoking dry tobacco.
"Tang Zhiqing is here, is there something wrong? Mother-in-law go and pour tea. ”
"Auntie, don't pour, I'll leave after I'm done."
"What's the matter, you say." Song Jianguo said with a smile.
"Village chief, you know that I came to the village to go to the countryside mainly to take care of Comrade Song Jingzhi, so I want to ask if I can do some simple and easy work."
Song Jianguo looked at her with a little embarrassment on his face, "It's not impossible, but Tang Zhiqing, you know that if you don't work, you won't have work, and you won't have food." ”
"It's okay village chief, I'll solve this by myself, and I won't trouble the village."
Hearing her say this, Song Jianguo was relieved, "That's okay, then you can go and hunt pigweed, 2 points for one basket, at least one basket every day." But Tang Zhiqing, when the rice harvesting farmers are busy, you still have to help harvest the rice. ”
"No problem, village chief, thank you!" Tang Xiaoxiao put the things he brought on the table.
"Then I'll go back first, thank you." Again, she expressed her gratitude.
"Tang Zhiqing, you take this thing back, I can't ask for it." Song Jianguo didn't look at what she was putting it, and hurriedly refused.
Tang Xiaoxiao didn't care about his refusal, and walked outside the hall with a step, and Aunt Wu chased after her to the door with her things.
"Tang Zhiqing, we can't ask for it, you take it back quickly."
"Auntie, don't, it's not good to be heard later." She shoved a few times and quickly ran.
"This Tang Zhiqing, really." Aunt Wu took the things and looked at Song Jianguo helplessly.
"Forget it, let's take care of her in the future, in the end, she is also here for Jingzhi."
Aunt Wu opened the bag and saw what was inside. "This ......"
The White Rabbit toffee was bought by Tang Xiaoxiao in the morning, but she didn't expect her to get it to her house.
"This smoke."
"The cigarettes should have been brought by her from home, and she gave them the two boxes yesterday." Song Jianguo said that it seems that the conditions in Tang Zhiqing's family are indeed good.
