When the pears are green

"Sister, we're back!" Song Yue stood in front of the gate, knocking on the door and shouting loudly.

When Song Li in the yard heard the noise, she hurried to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Song Yue ran in and threw herself into Song Li's arms.

Song Yue's little head was burrowing in Song Li's arms, and she occasionally looked up at Song Li. Song Li felt that Song Yue's already dark face had become even darker and redder, and there was a thin layer of sweat on her nose.

Song Li gently touched Song Yue's hair, and when she raised her head, she wiped the sweat from her nose with her hand.

Song Xing looked at Song Yue with disgust as she cuddled in Song Li's arms. He felt like he had goose bumps all over his arms when he saw this scene.

Seeing Song Xing like this, Song Li wanted to tease Song Xing. She opened her arms to hug Song Xing: "Xiao Xing, do you miss your sister? Come, let your sister hug you."

Song Xing uttered "Huh" and ran to Song Changhe's side. He frowned and said disdainfully: "I'm a man, only little girls want to hug me."

Seeing Song Xing pretending to be an adult, Song Li and Song Yue laughed.

Song Changhe, who was usually taciturn, was also infected by the scene in front of him, and he also laughed softly.

The laughter filled the entire courtyard, and even the old locust tree began to rustle, as if it wanted to share the joy.

Song Xing became more and more uncomfortable. He hid behind Song Changhe and no longer looked at Song Li, Song Yue and the others.

After laughing a few times, Song Yue remembered the thing in her sleeve, broke free from Song Li's arms, and hurriedly ran to the room.

Song Xing heard the footsteps, he slowly stuck his head out from behind Song Changhe, and saw Song Yue hurriedly running to the room. He leaned over to Song Li and said, "Sister, the second sister hid the treasure, and it was Sister Ruyi who secretly gave it to her. The two of them were very secretive, but I still saw it."

Song Li looked at Song Xing's exposed canine teeth. Just as she was about to tell Song Xing not to pry into girls' secrets, she heard Song Changhe's voice: "Xiao Li, where is your mother?"

"Dad, Mom went to Aunt Zhang's house next door. I'll go call her. There's cool water in the jar. You can drink some first." After saying that, Song Li turned and walked out of the yard. She took a few steps to the gate of the neighbor's yard and knocked on the door lightly.

When Song Li and Zhang came back, they saw Song Yue and Song Xing surrounding Song Changhe.

"Dad, my elder sister and mom are back." Song Xing said to Song Changhe.

Song Changhe put down the work in his hands, stood up and said to Zhang: "I have told my eldest sister-in-law about the matter. She will bring the child to our house in two days to meet us. It is also a formality. You should find a nice dress for the eldest girl. Don't let her down and let others laugh at us. Prepare what you need to prepare. If you are unsure about something, go to the old Wang family who just married off their daughter and ask."

"I understand, Boss!" Zhang finally felt relieved. If anyone gossiped again, she would tear that person's mouth apart with her own hands.

After saying this, Zhang went to the main hall with Song Changhe to discuss how to prepare for the wedding in two days.

Song Li slowly walked to Song Yue. Song Yue sent Song Xing away and whispered to Song Li what happened in Zhangjiagou today.

Song Yue said to Song Li mysteriously, "Sister, we went to grandma's house first. After dad and grandma explained our purpose, grandma asked grandpa to call my uncle and his family over. Grandma cooked the three pounds of pork that dad brought, and she also served me several pieces. I didn't finish it all, so I left a piece for you and put it in the steamed bun. I'll take it out for you in the evening."

Before Song Yue could finish her words, Zhang called Song Li to help with cooking.

"Sister, I'll tell you tonight." Song Yue whispered to Song Li.

Song Li smiled and touched Song Yue's head, then turned and went to the kitchen.

After cleaning up the kitchen, Song Yue pulled Song Li into the room. She asked Song Li to sit by the window while she started rummaging through the only cabinet in the room.

After a while, Song Yue came with something wrapped in cloth in her hand. She smiled and held it in front of Song Li like offering a treasure. "Sister, this is something I brought specially for you. Open it and take a look."

Song Li took the cloth bag from Song Yue and opened it. It was a cracked piece of dough with some oil stains on the cracks.

It turned out that a piece was dug out in the middle of the nest, and inside it lay a piece of fat and lean pork.

Song Li's nose felt sore for no reason!

Seeing that Song Li hadn't made any movement for a long time, Song Yue hurriedly clarified to Song Li: "Sister, this cloth is not dirty. Sister Ruyi is making handkerchiefs to sell, and she said that this cloth has been washed. Please eat it quickly."

Song Yue kept rubbing her hands, fearing that Song Li would reject the steamed bun with meat in it.

Song Li watched Song Yue's actions. She pretended that her eyes were uncomfortable and kept rubbing the area around her eye sockets with the back of her hand.

"Yueyue, let's eat it together!" Song Li said, and was about to split the small steamed bun into two halves.

"No, sister, I ate a lot at noon!" Song Yue explained to Song Li.

Song Li thought that Song Dahe only took three pounds of meat in total, and there were nearly ten people in Ruyi's family, including grandma and grandpa. Song Yue and Ruyi were both girls, so they probably only got three or four pieces of meat.

Although Song Yue is a bit greedy usually, she can think of her sister Song Li at this time, which shows that the relationship between the two sisters is very deep.

"I'm a little full after dinner. Yueyue, come eat with me." Song Li directly put half of the steamed bun into Song Yue's hand.

Song Yue still wanted to refuse, but she couldn't resist the charm of the meat. She looked at Song Li with a smile and swallowed it carefully into her mouth.

She is still a little girl growing up, and it is so precious to have such thoughtfulness.
