Chapter 44

The neighbors who were talking together burst into laughter. No matter what the intentions of this person were, Xie Junzhi was very grateful. Because of Jian Pengcheng's appearance, Old Madam Yuan threw the clothes back into Xie Junzhi's arms with a sullen face.

"Xiaozhi is back?" Jian Pengcheng hadn't seen her for a month, and Jian Pengcheng spoke to her a little more unfamiliarly.

Xie Junzhi called Uncle and hurried home.

Li Huifang also came out when she heard the cry, and was startled when she saw her daughter who looked brand new: "You..."

"Mom, I'm back."

"Oh... oh... I'm back, let's sit inside."

The main room was warm without heating, Xie Junzhi looked around, a coal stove was lit behind the door, there was a faint smell of coal smoke in the air, Xie Junzhi hesitated for a moment and said nothing.

When Jian Pengcheng saw her looking at the coal stove, he thought she was cold, so he brought the coal stove to Xie Junzhi's side without saying a word, and the temperature rose a little more.

Li Huifang asked symbolically, "Is your grandma treating you well?"

The hut was quiet, and occasionally, the sound of coal burning was heard.

At dinner, Xie Junzhi contributed a piece of sauced beef, which Hu Mei bought for her knowing that she likes beef, and asked her to bring it back to eat.Jian Pengcheng didn't say anything, and went to the kitchen to cook in silence.

"Let's eat."

The dish was a plate of beef with cold sauce and a bowl of twice-cooked pork. Jian Pengcheng ate with his head down and only dipped the steamed bun in the broth. The beef did not move at all. When Li Huifang picked up the beef, his eyes darkened.

Xie Junzhi pretended not to see anything, and ate her meal quietly.

Soon after the new year, it will be spring, and everything will recover, and new shoots will emerge from the poplar branches. Suddenly, a family in Jianjia Village began to collect poplar buds, which cost [-] cents a catty. It is said that they are used to make glue. After the holiday, they wandered around the village to break poplar buds. They couldn’t reach the taller poplars and had to give up. After being frustrated, they found that people in the village always came to buy trees. After the trees were brought down, the tree dealers didn’t mind children. Go break some poplar buds.

Xie Junzhi also joined the ranks, not because she was short of money, but because she wanted to follow the crowd, and the neighbors and friends finally showed kindness, so she naturally had to go down the steps, otherwise she would be too out of place, right?
This time, the friends got the news that the poplar tree of the head family in the east of the village was going to be sold, and the tree dealer was already cutting down the tree. When they ran there panting, the poplar tree hadn’t fallen yet, and they stood waiting not far away.

These poplar trees grew on the embankment, Xie Junzhi and the others stood in the middle of the dry river, because the trees hadn't fallen yet, they were not in a hurry to tear off thousands of poplar buds, they were running around in the river to play, when they heard someone shouting The tree was about to fall, and Jian Xiumei, who asked Xie Junzhi to come out to play, hurriedly dragged her to run over.

Before they could run over, the tree fell down.
