Shen Xiaoxia asked the team leader for a day off and rode her bicycle to the county town in the morning.

In April, there is still a hint of coolness in the air in the morning.

The weather is still cold, and the sky is a clear, light blue with a few white clouds floating leisurely occasionally.

Shen Xiaoxia rode out of the village for a long time before the sun began to rise slowly. When the sun rose completely, it emitted soft light, bringing warmth to all things on earth, and also bringing a touch of warmth to Shen Xiaoxia.

The mountains in the distance are rolling and look magnificent against the backdrop of the blue sky.

Occasionally a breeze blows gently, bringing with it a hint of earth and the freshness of early spring.

There is a long section of road with endless farmland on both sides. The tender green wheat seedlings sway gently in the breeze, as if happily greeting passers-by.

Villagers can be seen working in the fields, some standing, some bending over, busy with something.

After riding through the farmland, there is a small path behind. The trees on the roadside have just sprouted tender green buds, which are tender and full of vitality.

The branches of the willow tree also swayed in the wind, as if waving to Shen Xiaoxia.

Some wild flowers that cannot be named are also quietly blooming on the roadside, red, yellow, white, and purple, adding a touch of bright color to the scenery on the road.

The road conditions were not very good, with many potholes and the wheels making a creaking sound when rolling over the mud, but this did not affect Shen Xiaoxia's good mood. She hummed a little tune while riding her bike and enjoying the surrounding scenery.

Feel the simplicity and innocence of this era.

The closer you are to the county town, the wider the roads are and the faster you can ride.

It is much more convenient to have a bicycle. It only takes 40 to 50 minutes to get there.

Shen Xiaoxia went to the state-owned restaurant on purpose to save her stomach because she was craving the big meat buns made by the chef.

I bought a serving of wontons and packed ten big meat buns. I ate the wontons for breakfast in the store, and put the big meat buns into the space under the cover of the backpack.

Shen Xiaoxia went to the post office to mail the letter first.

As usual, I ran into the same girl as before. That girl always remembered the kindness of Shen Xiaoxia giving her the hairband, and every time she saw Shen Xiaoxia, she would take the initiative to say hello, "Hey, you're here? Are you here to send another letter?"

Shen Xiaoxia walked over to her, exchanged a few words with her, bought stamps from her, sealed the envelope, and mailed the letter.

Since she was already in the county town, it wasn't an easy trip, so Shen Xiaoxia planned to visit the embroidery grandma. She wondered how much embroidery she had accumulated.

After leaving the post office, Shen Xiaoxia found a deserted place and slipped into the space. She dressed herself up and changed into her previous look.

He took out the backpack again and put ten pounds of rice, ten pounds of corn cobs, and five bags of noodles into it. The noodles were packaged in the original bags and re-wrapped in clean paper, each bag weighing one pound.

It also contains a pound of brown sugar!

Carrying a backpack, I went to my mother-in-law's house.

Shen Xiaoxia stood outside the door and knocked. The grandparents and grandchildren inside heard the knock and asked, "Who is it?"

Shen Xiaoxia replied, "Mother-in-law, it's me!"

The old lady recognized Shen Xiaoxia's voice and hurriedly instructed her grandson to come and open the door. She also followed her grandson's steps to greet him.

Xiaochu opened the door and said to Shen Xiaoxia with a smile, "Auntie, you're here? Please come in!"

The old lady also came forward and said, "Yes, girl, come in quickly!"

Shen Xiaoxia entered the yard, Xiaochu closed the gate again, and the three of them went into the house together.

Seeing Shen Xiaoxia coming at this time, the old lady asked her, "My daughter, you came so early today. Have you had breakfast? If not, I will make you something to eat."

Shen Xiaoxia stopped the old lady who was about to go to the kitchen and said, "Grandma, I've already had breakfast. Please stop working."

"Did you really eat it? Don't lie to me, old lady. If you didn't eat it, it's okay to have something to eat here!"

"Mother-in-law, I'm not lying to you. I really ate it. To be honest, I ate it at a state-owned restaurant. I'm still full!"

Seeing that what Shen Xiaoxia said did not sound like a lie, the mother-in-law gave up.

Shen Xiaoxia saw that both the grandfather and grandson looked much better than the last time she saw them. Xiaochu had gained a lot of weight on his face and had grown a little taller.

Shen Xiaoxia stretched out her hand, compared Xiaochu's height, and said in surprise, "Has Xiaochu grown taller? He seems a lot taller?"

When the old lady heard what Shen Xiaoxia said, the wrinkles on her face deepened with laughter, "Yes, it has grown a lot. Thanks to you, the food has been much better recently!

He ate well and was full, so he grew a lot taller! He also gained a lot of weight, unlike before when he had less than two ounces of flesh on his body!

Shen Xiaoxia looked at him carefully again, "You've indeed become a lot stronger, which is good. You looked too frail before!"

Xiaochu poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Shen Xiaoxia, "Auntie, this cup is clean. The water is a little hot, please let it cool down before drinking!"

Shen Xiaoxia took it and said, "Thank you, Xiaochu!"

Xiaochu smiled shyly at Shen Xiaoxia.

Shen Xiaoxia took out all the things she brought and placed them on the table. "Grandma, this is what I brought this time. Please take a look!"

Looking at the things on the table, the old lady looked at Shen Xiaoxia gratefully, "My daughter, you give so many things every time, don't you really feel any loss?"

"Grandma, don't worry, you won't lose anything."

The old lady's embroidery may not be valuable now, but it will definitely be valuable in the future. Even if it is not valuable, it is worth it for Shen Xiaoxia to keep it for her own appreciation or future use.

Her willingness is priceless!

What's more, what she gave away seemed like a lot to grandma!

To her, it really doesn’t matter. The most important thing is that she won’t suffer any loss!

The old lady came into the house and took out the embroidery and let Shen Xiaoxia choose. In addition to the ones she embroidered herself, there were also some she collected from her old sisters, and the quality was all of high quality.

Shen Xiaoxia trusted the old lady's character and only glanced at them roughly. Anyway, she thought every painting was exquisite and it didn't matter which ones she chose.

One of the embroidery pieces was of a kitten. The kitten’s expression was very lively and Shen Xiaoxia fell in love with it at first sight.

She selected some parts that she thought were better and put them away, and she would change the others next time.

The old lady knew that Shen Xiaoxia didn't want to take everything, so she didn't persuade her anymore and just waited for her to come back next time to take it.

Shen Xiaoxia gave her all fine grains. The old lady would keep some of it and then sell some of it or exchange it for coarse grains.

She didn't tell Shen Xiaoxia about these things, not because she didn't want to, but because she knew Shen Xiaoxia didn't care about them.

It was exactly what the old lady thought. Even if Shen Xiaoxia knew about it, she would not interfere. Once the things were given to the old lady, they belonged to her, and she could do whatever she wanted with them.

After choosing the embroidery, she sat at the old lady's house and chatted with her for a while. Originally, the old lady wanted Shen Xiaoxia to stay for lunch, but Shen Xiaoxia refused, lying that she had something to deal with later, and then said goodbye and left.
