The man hesitated for two seconds before pushing his bicycle to follow Yu Songyu into the small courtyard behind the shop. This morning, Yu Songyu had taken out quite a bit of stock from her space.
“Wait here for a moment!” she said, then opened the door to the storage room in the courtyard.
Before long, she emerged as if performing a magic trick, dragging out half a pig. The man was taken aback at first, but quickly stepped forward to help. He hadn’t expected this girl, who looked so delicate, to have such strength.
“This pork weighs a lot; I’ve weighed it before. If you don’t believe me, you can weigh it yourself,” Yu Songyu said, straightening up and pointing to the electronic scale she had prepared in the corner of the yard.
The man picked up the pork and tossed it onto the scale; it registered exactly as kilograms. He wasn’t doing this because he didn’t trust Yu Songyu, but rather because he was curious about the scale, though he didn’t feel like asking.
“How is it? Is it correct?”
Yu Songyu didn’t mind and walked over to take a look; indeed, it displayed the correct weight in kilograms.
“Don’t get me wrong; I just wanted to see your scale.”
“It’s fine; feel free to look. It’s six kilograms in total,” she replied, kindly finding a large black plastic bag to pack up the pork and helping him secure it on the back seat of his bicycle.
Seizing the opportunity, Yu Songyu also promoted her socks, gloves, and knee pads. To her surprise, he actually wanted them and ended up buying quite a few.
It was obvious to Yu Songyu that with the year-end approaching, he was likely purchasing these items either for visiting relatives or as gifts—something presentable.
Looking at the money in her hand with satisfaction, she had initially thought that gathering enough for rent would be challenging, but it turned out to be quite smooth.
After collecting the money, she took some rice flour and several packs of snacks from her space and instantly transported them to Grandma's small courtyard in Shi Gou Village.
This courtyard now belonged to her; if she didn’t accept it, her Little Old Lady would be unhappy. However, ever since she acquired this place, it had actually made things more convenient for her.
As soon as she stepped inside, a delicious aroma wafted through the air.
“Wow, it smells amazing! Grandma, what are you cooking?”
“Girl, how did you come back so quickly? How is your friend’s father doing?”
It was nice to be back, and since there was nothing much going on, I returned. Yu Songyu saw that a fish was simmering in the big pot, the delicious aroma wafting through the air.
"Didn’t you ask the villagers to fish from the river? They sent quite a few early this morning. Yang Qinghe helped register them at each household. These two are for us to eat."
"Oh, that's great! I'll take them to town this afternoon."
"You just got back; why the hurry? It's not late yet!"
Old Lady felt for Yu Songyu and added, "Besides, it's winter; the fish won't spoil."
"Grandma, I'm not tired; I'm just hungry!"
"This girl! Just wait; dinner will be ready soon!"
Yu Songyu smiled, washed her hands, and sat on the bed waiting for dinner.
"Xiao He, come here!"
Xiao He was playing on the bed. When she saw Yu Songyu come over, she quickly scooted back, looking a bit shy.
"What are you afraid of? Come here; I have candy!"
Yu Songyu coaxed her, mainly wanting to check Xiao He's frostbite.
Xiao He cautiously approached Yu Songyu, still as timid as ever. Her little hands were wrapped up like zongzi, and her head was bowed almost at a right angle.
Yu Songyu unwrapped a piece of candy and popped it into Xiao He's mouth, pulling her little arm closer.
"Xiao He, do you want your sister to take you to change your bandages this afternoon?"
Xiao He’s voice was soft and innocent, nearly melting Yu Songyu's heart.
"Your sister will be in town this afternoon; do you want to come?"
