Chapter 38 The Meaning of Love and Companionship

It was past five o'clock in the afternoon when Shen Qiuqiu drove Song Na back to Qinghe Village.

Probably because she was too moved, the little girl almost came back crying all the way, her eyes were red and swollen from crying.

When Shen Xiu saw her, she thought that her daughter had been wronged outside, and wanted to ask a few questions, but she opened her mouth, afraid that Shen Qiuqiu would be unhappy.

It was Grandma Shen who saw it and quickly asked: "Xiaona, what's wrong with your eyes, have you been crying?"

Song Na sniffed, a little embarrassed.

"Grandma, my sister took me to the town today to buy a lot of new clothes, and said she would send me back to school...I'm happy, not crying."

Hearing this, Grandma Shen couldn't help laughing, she raised her hand and patted Song Na's shoulder, "Silly boy, be happy when you're happy, don't cry in the future.

You see, the little face is crying like a cat, go wash it up, and eat right away. "

Song Na nodded, "Well, I'll take the things back to the house first."

Seeing Song Na enter the room, Grandma Shen hugged Shen Qiuqiu affectionately again, and praised: "Our Xiaohua is a good sister."

Shen Qiuqiu smiled, and took out the clothes he bought for her.

"It's going to be cold soon, I bought you a coat, try to see if it fits."

The lavender corduroy jacket was simple and elegant, and Grandma Shen fell in love with it as soon as she saw it.

Shen Qiuqiu helped her put on the new clothes, which were originally bought according to her size, and they fit perfectly.

As soon as the new clothes are put on, the whole person looks energetic.

Grandma Shen turned around twice, and stretched the corner of her clothes again, her eyes were full of smiles, but she blamed: "You buy me so many new clothes every year, you spend money randomly, and there are so many clothes in the closet. I can't let go.

I have enough clothes to wear, so I won't buy them next time. "

The old man's clothes are worn out and he is reluctant to throw them away, so he mends them and continues to wear them.

Shen Qiuqiu buys clothes for the old couple every year, almost filling up the closet at home.

She carefully helped grandma straighten her turned-up collar, and nodded in response, "Okay, I got it."

Every time I buy new clothes, grandma has to say this for the last time.

After listening to it, she will still buy it next time.

How can women not buy new clothes? New clothes always give people a sense of freshness. No matter how old a woman is, she likes to wear new clothes and dress up.

It was the same for Shen Xiu, she was reluctant to take off her new clothes once she put them on.

But she still muttered, "How embarrassing, Xiaohua, don't spend money on buying clothes for me in the future, I can wear your grandma's old clothes after changing them."

That being said, the smile on his face couldn't be concealed.

When Grandpa Shen came back from the field, he saw his granddaughter bought new clothes for him. Although he didn't say anything, he was very happy.

While trying it on, he thought about it, and in a few days he would go for a stroll around the village wearing the new clothes, making those old guys envious.

After trying on the clothes, the pork rib soup stewed on the stove is almost ready.

The family washed their hands and sat in the yard for dinner.

Stewed radish with pork ribs, fried pork with green peppers, fried zucchini with vegetables, dry-stir-fried beans, hot and sour potato shreds.

The simple four dishes and one soup are considered rich on the rural dining table.

Usually the old couple are at home by themselves and don't cook a meal of meat for a week.

Since Shen Qiuqiu came back, the old couple had more and more smiles on their faces, the deserted small courtyard became lively, and the dishes on the dinner table became more and more abundant.

It is only now that Shen Qiuqiu understands that this is the meaning of love and companionship.

At the dinner table, Shen Qiuqiu asked about Song Na's previous studies.

Song Na was a little embarrassed, "Other subjects are okay, but English is very poor, and I fail every exam."

Due to reasons such as living environment and learning resources, the English scores of rural children are generally poor.

Shen Qiuqiu also worked hard to memorize vocabulary and practice oral English after entering high school, and her English scores gradually improved.

There is no shortcut to learning English, but hard work can make up for one's weakness.

In terms of learning, Shen Qiuqiu still has a lot of experience to share with Song Na.

"Xiaoshu's junior high school textbook should still be there, find it later, and I'll review it for you."

Song Na responded with a smile, "Yeah, thank you sister."

Shen Xiu who was on the side suddenly said, "Xiaolan works in other provinces and earns 4000 yuan a month. His father said before that when the New Year is over, let Xiaona go out with her sister."

Shen Qiuqiu frowned, "She will only be 15 next year."

Grandpa Shen also disagreed, "I will listen to Xiao Hua and continue to go back to school to study as much as I can get a lot out of part-time jobs.

Our family is educated, as long as Xiaona is willing to study hard, she will definitely be admitted to university. "

Song Na nodded vigorously, "Grandpa, I must study hard."

Shen Xiu smiled embarrassingly and didn't say anything more.

When Song Lan was mentioned, Grandma Shen asked casually, "Xiaolan is [-] this year, which province is she working in, is she tired from work, is there anyone she can talk to?"

Shen Xiu nodded, "Twenty at the end of the year, in a city in Jiang Province. I went with her aunt and worked as a worker in an electronics factory. I heard that one shift takes twelve hours.

I don't know if I'm talking about someone or not.The girl is old and has her own ideas, and she hasn't had much contact with her family in the past two years. "

This granddaughter was also hugged by Grandma Shen when she was a child, so she was a little embarrassed when she heard it.

"She's a little girl. It's not easy to work outside. As a mother, you should care more about your children. Now everything is convenient, and it's not difficult to make a phone call.

You remember to call her and ask her to go home for the New Year.I haven't seen you in so many years, I still miss that child. "

Shen Xiu nodded in agreement.

After dinner, Shen Qiuqiu helped Grandma Shen clean up the table and wash the dishes.

Song Na saw that she couldn't help, so she went back to the house and took out the new clothes she bought today to wash.

She doesn't know how to use the fully automatic washing machine that Shen Qiuqiu bought, so she washes it by hand.

Shen Xiu fed the pigs, went to the yard and saw her daughter washing new clothes, subconsciously raised her hand to poke her forehead.

"Are you in a hurry? Clean new clothes, you haven't worn them yet, why are you washing them? Washing clothes and soap don't cost money."

Song Na explained: "You can't wear new clothes directly. There are dust and residues on them, which are not good for your skin. You have to wash them in water before you can wear them."

Shen Xiu heard this statement for the first time, and couldn't help but rolled her eyes, "What's so important about being poor, where did the ashes come from, where did the residue come from, why can't I see..."

Song Na continued to rub the clothes, without raising her head, she said, "My sister taught me to do this. My sister must be right."

After reacting for a while, Shen Xiu realized that the "my sister" she was referring to was Shen Qiuqiu.

Shen Xiu, who was still babbling just now, stopped talking, pulled a small bench over, rolled up her sleeves and bent over to wash clothes.

In order to alleviate the embarrassment, she pretended to be talking to herself and muttered: "So many clothes, how long will it take to wash, let's wash together, my mother."

Song Na lowered her head and laughed muffledly. She knew that as long as she lifted her cousin out, her mother would have nothing to say.
