He was buying vegetables at a stall when he heard someone call out to him from the side, "Qi Chang, are you on vacation too?"

Turning around, he saw a little girl talking to him. She had a slim figure and a pretty face. She was wearing a fashionable jacket, dark blue jeans, and a pair of white tourist shoes that gave her the air of a big city.

Just as he was thinking about who it was, Li Li who was at the side suddenly shouted out, "Aiya, Ma Yanjun, why is it you?"

The little girl looked at Lili and shouted happily, "Lili, it's really you! I didn't expect to meet you here."

Li Li happily replied, "Qi Xiang, I really didn't expect that you and I would actually know each other in high school."

Ma Yanjun said: "We were in junior high school, so I went to senior high. I went to senior high, but I haven't seen her for so many years."

Lili said, "Why so many years? Isn't it only three years?"

Qi Zhengyuan thought to himself: It's been so many years since I graduated from junior high. It's been over a decade.

Ma Yanjun said, "Lily, which school did you go to?"

Lili said, "You're at the university. Oh, right. I heard you went to Beijing? "How is it?"

Ma Yanjun said, "Isn't it just like that? I don't have very high marks, so I filled in an unpopular profession. My house is in the dorm of the Agricultural Production Company, so if you have time, you can come and play at my house. It's very close by the river in the east of the village."

Lili said, "I guess it's bad enough. I'm here to work. Why don't you go and play at Qi Xiang's house when you have time? I have to stay at her house all night."

Ma Yanjun asked, "Work? What kind of job? "

Lili said, "We got a batch of clothes from the clothing factory for sale at the market. Although it's in stock, if you need anything, you can go and take a look. We'll set up a stall in front of the tailor's shop on West Street every day from tomorrow onwards." He pointed with his finger, then said, "It's very close."

Ma Yanjun looked at it and said, "Alright, when I have time, I'll go take a look."

Just as they were talking, Wu Yuzheng arrived on a bicycle. He saw Qi Yuan and Lili buying vegetables and stopped, saying, "I just happened to bump into you guys. I'm buying vegetables at noon."

Lili looked at him and said, "Huo, you came with me too. My girlfriend is chasing me so anxiously."

Qi Zheng pulled on Lili's sleeve and whispered, "Be careful when you speak. There is still no way out. Don't create trouble for me."

Lili giggled and said, "That depends on how much you pay me to keep my mouth shut."

Qi Xiang said, "You can order whatever dish you'd like. I'll cook it for you at noon, okay?"

Lili said, "Then I'll think about it."

Ma Yanjun said in surprise, "Aiya, aren't you Wu Yuzheng? I am truly honored to meet you here. "

Wu Yuzheng asked with doubt: "You are?"

Ma Yanjun said, "I'm from Beijing Union University, next door to your school. You're the only one in our county who went to Peking University this year. I've seen your picture."

Wu Yuzheng politely greeted them. When he saw Qi Zhengyuan and Lily put the vegetables into the basket, he said, "You guys continue chatting. I'll take these home. Don't buy anything else. My sister said she will bring the dishes to your house for lunch." After saying that, he rode his bicycle and left.

Ma Yanjun said, "Qi Xiang, is this your relative? It seems like you guys are very familiar with each other. "

Qi Yuan said vaguely, "We're all in the same school. My mom is just a bit familiar with his sister." Seeing that it was getting late, he said to Ma Yanjun, "We need to go home and cook. When we have time, let's go have fun."

On the way home, he asked Lily, "Lily, do you know Ma Yanjun very well?"

Lili said, "Not really. Our classrooms are next to each other, and she lives in my neighbor's house in high school. We sometimes walk together, so we're not really familiar with each other."

He didn't have a deep understanding of Ma QiDun's background because he wasn't in the same class. However, when he heard other students say that her father was the vice president of the township's agricultural company, he looked down on the other children in the class because they were on a different level than the other children in the village. He also said that if it weren't for his parents being here, Qi Jiazhang would never have attended the same school as them.

Qi Yuan looked at Li Li walking casually beside him, sighed and said, "My junior high school and her are not in the same class. I haven't seen her for years, so I really don't have any impression of her anymore."

Lili said, "I didn't get to know her too much, but I felt that she was rather delicate. I heard from my classmates that she was in a relationship with a guy in her class. I wonder how she was after the college entrance exam."

Qi Xiang said, "After graduation, we won't be together anymore. After entering university, there will be many people who will meet us, and we'll find that our circle before was too small, and we won't meet too many people. In a big environment, our mindset will change, and we'll feel that what happened before was a bit childish.

Lili smiled and said, "Why does it sound like an expert? I can see that it would be great if you could open a heartfelt sister program specifically for these young men and women who are lost."

Qi Xiang said, "Forget it, I have a rotten account of my own."

While they were talking, the two of them walked home. Grandma had already finished cotton and was happily watching her grandma walk around.

Lili called out to "Grandma," and said with a smile, "Grandma, your needlework is so good. When you have time, you can also make me one."

Grandma said, "Sure, but I'm afraid you won't like it. Children these days don't even wear their own made cotton clothes."

Lili said, "Qi Zhengyuan's flowered cotton jacket has made me envious for a long time. It's nice to look at and it's also warm. Especially those little buckles on his coat. It's so beautiful."

Grandma smiled and said, "I'll make a set of clothes for you when I've finished cooking for Guo Guo. You city people have well-built homes, and when we go in we'll catch a cold. We can also make a set of clothes for you in an instant."

Lili happily thanked her grandma and followed her into the kitchen. Wu Yuzheng was helping to orderly bring back those things when he saw two people come in and quietly say, "How about you let grandma make one for me. I feel it's a bit cold wearing this sweater."

"I'll go to Sister Deming's shop in the afternoon and cut a piece of cloth for each of you. It's so cheap for you two to have Grandma make a piece for each of you. My mother went to her fields to pick all the cotton for you."

Lili was flabbergasted. "Good girl, this cotton coat really makes you look like you have a deep friendship."

"Of course," he said. "My grandma sewed up the jacket with needle and thread."

Wu Yuzheng said: "Why don't you stop talking for now and wait for me to tell my grandma. I have to show my sincerity before I do that."

Qi Xiang said, "Did you see that? That's what you call doing things. Lili, you have to learn from me."

Grandma followed the two into the kitchen to help with the cooking. Hearing the three of them say this, she complained to Qi Xiang, "Isn't it just making two cotton-padded jackets? It's worth knocking on the door. Don't listen to her, I'll make one for you two after I've finished cooking for Guo Guo. It's the coldest right now, the more people in the city try, the more cold it is in the countryside, the colder it is, and wearing a cotton-padded jacket can still warm up."

Li Li held her grandma's arm and said emotionally, "Grandma, you're so nice. I'll definitely buy you something nice to eat after I earn some money these two days."

Grandma said, "You're still children, you don't need to buy things for me."

Qi Xiang said, "Grandma, go take a rest. I'll cook."

"I think Kusu and Yuanyuan will be leaving school soon, so I don't want to keep them in the study," said Grandma. Grandma and the other elderly people like to go to school called "study room", carefully savoring the taste of it can also be considered as having some profound meaning.

When the rice was about to be cooked, he cooked some Egg Fried Rice. He started preparing the Egg Fried Rice last night, cooked some sticky corn grains, boiled green beans, and fried egg flowers. He sliced the cucumber, diced the carrot, and looked at them in a variety of colors.

Mother Qi had added fresh water to the stew on the stove the previous morning. The stew was white, and she cut the scallions and cilantro into thin pieces. When she finished eating, she poured a bowl of bone soup into the bowl.

When he came home, he was delighted to see Lily, even more pleased that Lily had bought both her and Qi Yuan a beautiful dress, and declared that the two clothes were of the same type, that they were only for men and women, and that no one would wear them at their school. Qi Chang added that she would not be able to knock against her blouse, and that he would be happy to wear them to school in the afternoon without taking them off.

Mother Qi and Wu Min greeted them with such a lively atmosphere. Wu Min said to her mother, "Aunt, it's so nice to be at your house. It feels so lively and good to be at home."

Mrs Qi smiled and said, "Our family has many children, so you just feel lively. A few years ago, it wasn't so lively when we were children. That was exhausting."

Wu Min smiled and said, "The children are all noisy when they grow up. Aunt, it's better if you have a good heart. Otherwise, where would you find these children coming to your house?"

Mrs Qi smiled, "I just feel that the child must be in pain. Since you guys like coming to my house, I'll take good care of you. You sisters are the same. Don't be embarrassed here, just be your home."

Wu Min said, "That's great. You can watch me for dinner. I'll show you something else."

Mama Qi said, "Sure, I'm just waiting for my fill."

Lunch was still eaten on the tea table in the living room. Everyone crowded around the table happily while Guo Guo sat beside Wu Yu Zheng as usual. Li Li asked her, "Guo Guo, why don't you come sit with me?"

Guo Guo shook her head and said, "I want to sit with Brother Wu."

Lily asked her, "Why don't you sit with me?"

Guo Guo said, "Sitting with Brother Wu gives you a sense of security."

Lily asked her, "Do you know what 'security' means?"

Guo Guo said, "It's just the feeling of being with grandpa." Qi Yuan was also confused and asked, "Guo Guo, can you tell me what it feels like?"

Guo Guo thought about it and said, "I just don't feel afraid. When I'm with grandpa, I don't feel afraid at all."

Lili whispered in his ear, "It seems like she's not your love rival. Congratulations, there's only one hidden danger." Qi Xiang nudged her with his arm and said to Guo Guo, "Guo Guo, we all love you, so when you're with us in the future, you don't have to be afraid."

Guo Guo continued to speak, making Qi Zheng's heart hurt for several days.
