Chapter 196: Chapter 196: Don’t Speak Carelessly_1

Song Yunuan gave each of them a blade: "None of you have ever dug up wild vegetables, have you?"

Guo Xia, however, said, "How could we have never dug them? Even though our family’s conditions were quite good, there were a couple of years when the whole country was in a bad state, and the women from our compound organized themselves to go to the outskirts to dig wild vegetables. This shepherd’s purse is the tastiest."

Chu Jina nodded, "I know about this too."

Song Yunuan blinked, "Wow, turns out you’ve also experienced life, then I don’t need to teach you how to dig it up."

In the morning, when she saw them, they were all acting so superior.

Even if they tried to hide it, they carried a natural sense of superiority.

They looked at the village girls with caution and disdain.

As if every female would covet Chu Zizhou.

This was also the reason she didn’t bring Zhou Xiaohua along to play.

Song Yunuan sarcastically thought to herself, but said, "You dig with confidence, this is shepherd’s purse transplanted by my grandpa. This whole patch is ours, you can dig as much as you like."

"The river is just beside us. We can wash them clean and take them back, and if you like, Grandpa Sun can make dumplings for you to eat tonight."

Guo Xia offered a polite remark, "There’s no need to go to all that trouble, I know how to do it too. Little Nuan, how about we eat dumplings together tonight?"

"I have to go to my grandma’s house for dinner tonight, but if you don’t mind, another day you can also come to my house for a meal. Oh, and later we also need to cut some mugwort to take back, there are mosquitoes in the evening."

Liu Xiaomin opened her eyes wide and asked in a delicate tone, "There are mosquitoes here?"

Song Yunuan stood up, looking down on Liu Xiaomin, who was brandishing the small blade and asked in shock, "Are there no mosquitoes in Beidu? Gosh, that I really did not know.

Such a big city without a single mosquito, that’s really incredible.

How do you do it?

Could it be because it’s the capital?"

Then she followed up with an envious expression, "Even though I’ve never been to Beidu, I know it’s really big. I am so curious about how there could be no mosquitoes at all."

Guo Xia hastily interrupted, "What nonsense are you talking about? There are mosquitoes everywhere, how could Beidu have none! That’s common knowledge, Xiaomin, don’t talk nonsense and mislead Little Nuan."

Liu Xiaomin also felt a bit embarrassed.

"I... I was just saying it casually."

Song Yunuan still looked disappointed, "So there are mosquitoes in Beidu after all."

Digging wild vegetables for the first time is always exciting, and Guo Xia brought with her memories of the past, while Chu Jina and Liu Xiaomin were girls from the big city.

The freshness was at its peak.

In no time at all, these few people had dug up a whole willow basket.

Song Yunuan smiled with satisfaction, ah, labor is the most glorious thing.

They went to the riverside to wash them clean, and to wash their hands as well.

On the opposite bank was a forest, lush with greenery and occasionally adorned with flowers. A few swallows skimmed over the clear surface of the river, creating ripples upon ripples.

Guo Xia felt this place was truly beautiful.

It was almost like the scenery at the Dongshan Sanatorium in Beidu, maybe even better.

It’s just that Chu Jina and Liu Xiaomin were anxious to see the clothes and naturally had different sentiments than the older Guo Xia.

Chu Jina said, "Mom, stop getting lost in it, we can stay a few more days, and then you can play to your heart’s content."

Guo Xia glanced at the two girls, then at the clothes Song Yunuan was wearing.

She somewhat doubted that the clothes were self-made.

She felt that the young lady might have been deceived by her mother.

After all, these days, some young ladies didn’t like to wear clothes made by their parents.

They only liked to wear ready-made ones, feeling that only these were prestigious and classy.

Guo Xia didn’t say anything.

Seeing that the shepherd’s purse was washed clean and there was no mud under the fingernails, it seemed nice.

But she hesitated to have Song Yunuan carry the willow basket.

So she let her daughter and Xiaomin carry one end each.

Then Song Yunuan drove the horse cart towards the village, leisurely and carefree.

As if the anxious feelings could just be shaken away.

They were heading southeast, and along the way, they encountered villagers who all stood by the roadside, accustomed to watching Song Yunuan drive the horse cart.

They also knew who the person on the cart was, after all, quite a few had been informed in advance.

So, they smiled honestly, albeit a bit nervously.

Guo Xia wasn’t one to put on airs, she wasn’t that foolish.

Thus, she also smiled warmly.

Privately, everyone said she was a very good person.

Song Yunuan gave a noncommittal twitch of her lips.

That depends on whom you’re talking about.

Just that morning during her run, Gu Huai’an had found a chance to tell her about Guo Xia and Zhu Mann’s situation.

Those two had some old grudges.

It was all the previous generation’s affairs, full of love and hatred, and to be honest, Gu Huai’an didn’t know the details, but he was aware that Guo Xia particularly disliked girls who sang and danced.

Gu Huai’an didn’t say much about it, just mentioned it in passing, but Song Yunuan still understood.

However, she didn’t care in the least.

It was just something she listened to.

Because she felt that, for the time being, it had nothing to do with her family.

The roads in the village weren’t quite like those in the south, with no winding alleys.

They were all thoroughfares running north, south, east, and west.

Song Yunuan immediately spotted a jeep parked at her family’s doorway, with a few people standing beside it.

Only when she approached did she realize one of those people was actually Principal Cui.

Song Yunuan brought the horse cart to a stop and hopped down, and Principal Cui, looking at the young girl, was taken aback. Impressive, she even drove a horse cart?

He glanced at Old Man Song.

This family really spoiled their children.

Then he noticed a few female comrades sitting in the car, clearly from out of town.

And they seemed no ordinary outsiders.

Principal Cui just smiled.

Then he said to Song Yunuan, "Little Nuan, we’re planning to go to the provincial capital the day after tomorrow. Do you have time? You can bring your brother along for a stroll with us."

Song Yunuan blinked, "Principal Cui, you’re all ready?"

Principal Cui nodded, "Mhm, we’re ready." Then clenched his fist, "We’re confident."

Song Yunuan murmured to herself, "The day after tomorrow, huh..."

Principal Cui just watched Song Yunuan.

He really hoped she would go.

But he couldn’t force her.

If Old Mr. Hu found out, he would be upset.

On the side, Guo Xia and the other two girls were watching the scene in a daze.

Why did it feel like this so-called Principal Cui was eagerly looking at Song Yunuan?

Song Yunuan turned her head and said to Guo Xia, "Our county is preparing to apply to establish a Staff and Cadre College."

Guo Xia uttered two "ohs."

Then Song Yunuan, without any sense of distance, whispered, "Sister Guo, I’m acquainted with Grandpa Hu, who is in charge of this matter, but the strength of our county is not weak at all and is very suitable for establishing a Staff and Cadre College."

Guo Xia’s heart stirred, and she somewhat understood the implication of the latter part of the statement.

She looked at Song Yunuan speechlessly, both exasperated and amused, she glared at Song Yunuan, "I told you not to call me sister; doesn’t that mess up our seniority?"

Song Yunuan grinned, "Ok, then I’ll call you Aunt Guo."

Then she addressed Principal Cui, "That’s fine, my dad and I are just planning to make a trip to the provincial capital to stock up on goods."

Principal Cui readily agreed, "That’s great! We’ll come and pick you up the day after tomorrow to head to the station."
