There were still ten days before the delivery.
In these ten days, the people of Taoxi village were in full swing.
With hope and hope, they wished they could take root 24 hours a day and make the watermelons and sweet potatoes grow a little longer in this short time.
Since there was still enough time, they hurriedly put in fertilizers two more times.
The villagers took care of the work of Zhang Xifeng's family's two acres of melon fields. In the end, she had almost nothing to do.
The Zhang family's courtyard was more lively than ever. Every day, people came to visit, chat with her, and bring some small things to Qiqi.
Most of them were old clothes from the children and some old fabrics.
Zhang Xifeng took advantage of her free time to take them all and sew them. She added several sets of small clothes for Qiqi.
The little girl was a fast sneaky person, and it didn't take long for her to change out of a set of clothes.
In the countryside, to save money, plus the fact that each family was not rich, the little child's clothes were mostly old, changed, or repaired.
Everyone had been through this, so there was nothing to complain about.
Moreover, this was everyone's gratitude and sincerity to Qiqi.
Zhang Xifeng understood this, but she also decided to buy two new sets for her Qiqi when she had more money.
As long as she could afford to give what others had, she would not let her child suffer a loss.
She couldn't let Qiqi only be envious of others.
..
On the other side of the river at the village entrance, a few old water buffaloes lazily snored after eating and drinking their fill.
There were always various games to play when a group of children who herded cows gathered together in the village.
Qiqi had also become one of them.
However, she wasn't here to herd cows. She was here to cut pigweed while she was having fun.
"Qiqi, I asked you to go out to play. Why do you have to cut the pigweed every time you come? "
Li Tiejun followed behind Qiqi and complained with a frown.
Qiqi put the cut pigweed into the small basket, wiped her sweat, and smiled at Li Tiejun. After I've cut the small basket full, I'll play with you guys. It'll be quick.
"Sure, I'll wait for you. Since you're not here, Huaziand the others won't be happy to play first."
Huazi was eight years old and was the grandson of the old village chief. He was the king of the children.
He walked over and helped Qiqi put the pigweed in the basket neatly. "My grandparents said that Qiqi is young. We have to take care of her more."
The other children also came over. Anyway, we're already tired of those games. "Why don't we listen to Qiqi's stories? It's so interesting."
"Qiqi, can you tell us more about the city? Was it fun there? Is it really, really big?"
I heard that there are very long green trains in the city. They sound like wuwuwu. Qiqi, have you seen them before? "
The little children chimed in one after another, surrounding Qiqi and chattering.
Qiqi didn't feel annoyed and kept a smile on her face.
Back in Daqu village, the children in the village had never allowed her to play with them.
They always liked to throw stones at her, calling her a Cheeky Monkey. Together with Tian Xiaohu, they called her a wild brat.
So, now that she had friends, Qiqi was very happy.
She patiently answered her friends' questions. "The city is very, very big, much bigger than the town. There were very, very tall buildings there, and there were many four-wheeled cars on the streets ... Well, the people in the city are also dressed very beautifully, and all work in the factory."
"Wow, it's so nice to be in the city. I want to go to the city in the future!" Li Tiejun clenched his fist and set a small goal.
The other children all agreed.
Qiqi tilted her head and thought but didn't say anything.
She didn't like the city.
She preferred Taoxi village.
Because there were people here who truly treated her well.
As the sun set in the West, calls came from the village entrance one after another. The adults raised their voices and called their children home to eat, their tones long and long.
Qiqi perked up her ears, and soon, she heard her Granny's familiar voice calling, "Qiqi, it's time to go home. It's time for dinner."
Qiqi immediately cupped her little hands to her mouth and responded loudly, "Hey! Granny, I'll be back!"
The children each led their cows, carried their small baskets on their backs, and laughed as they walked home.
The sky was still filled with smoke and smoke.
The desolation and coldness of the following evening were all washed away by the children's laughter.
Innocent and bright smiles spread out in the wind, full of vitality.
When she got home, Qiqi poured the pigweed into the small basket out in the yard. She would wash it at night and dry it. Tomorrow morning, she would cut everything and cook it into piggies to feed the pigs.
Zhang Xifeng was helpless because her child had to bring back pigweed whenever she went out to play but she just wanted the kid to enjoy her time.
"Granny, I can cut the pig grass, and the sweet potato vines in our field can also be cut to feed the pigs. There's no need to run far to find it. She scolded but was reluctant to say such harsh words to the child.
At this time, Qiqi always pursed her lips and smiled faintly. "Granny, I cut it on the way. I didn't go to find it. There's pigweed next to where brother Huazi and brother Tiejun are watching the cows."
"You, you just can't be idle." She chided the child jokingly, fetched some water to wash her hands, and served the dishes on the table. The old and the young chatted as they ate dinner.
This scene had already become a daily occurrence in the Zhang family's courtyard.
As they laughed, the courtyard was filled with warmth.
..
It was night.
In the commercial center of Hui city.
On the top floor of the Taifeng Real Estate office building.
Song Yueliang was dressed in a white shirt and black suit pants. She was sitting on a large boss 'chair. On the business desk, a mountain of work had been completed.
The lights in the room were as bright as day, making the woman's cold and strong aura even more intense.
The surroundings were quiet, and the pen falling on the paper could be heard clearly. After leaving her last signature on the open document, Song Yueliang stopped.
She couldn't help but think of that little doll when she stopped.
Her face was small, her facial features were exquisite, and she was very thin.
Song Yueliang closed her eyes and pinched the space between her eyebrows. She looked exhausted.
She did have special feelings for children three or four years old. Usually, when she saw children of this age on the road, she would always pay more attention to them.
But that was all.
Only the little girl called Qiqi was so unique that she seemed to be able to affect her emotions.
Even though it had been more than ten days since they had met by chance, her mind would still be disturbed whenever she had some free time.
While she was in a state of confusion, the phone on the table rang.
Song Yueliang picked up the phone, and Dong Wangshu's energetic voice immediately came from the other end," Yue Yue, I've brought the box back. Do you want to come over tomorrow to take a look? When the batch of fruits and vegetables from Taoxi village arrives, I'm going to amaze the world with a single feat!"
"When will the fruits and vegetables from Taoxi village arrive?"
"The day after tomorrow!" Dong Wangshu said, "the big truck will pick up the goods in the morning. The first batch of goods will arrive by noon at most.
Song Yueliang lowered her eyes, and her cold white fingertips rubbed the big black phone for a moment. Then, she said, "I will free up a day the day after tomorrow. You can come with me to Taoxi village and see the situation on the spot."
Dong Wangshu was bewildered," ...?.?"
She was just a small boss. She could just sit in the office and do the planning. Why did she have to go to the mountains for a field trip?
Dong Wangshu did not dare to ask.
Dong Wangshu nodded with tears in her eyes.
