Chapter 239 - 239 238 Dont Sleep Get Up and Party (7)

Chapter 239: Chapter 238: Don’t Sleep, Get Up and Party! (7) Chapter 239: Chapter 238: Don’t Sleep, Get Up and Party! (7) What did childhood look like? In Su Shu’s memory, it had already faded.

Especially her parents’ hometown, in her memory, was almost only left with that small stream overgrown with countless weeds?

And during the golden autumn, the endless rice fields, wild ducks foraging by the pond, chickens hopping everywhere in the yard defecating, and the dragonflies that occasionally paused on the tips of the fences?

When she was very young, she had stayed in the countryside for a while to try catching a low-flying dragonfly and jumping into the puddle, or to run around the houses with the village’s older boys and girls, under the smoke from countless kitchens.

The bits and pieces of beauty from her childhood were like honey sealed in a jar, occasionally opened and fragrantly overwhelming.

The young man in front of her, embarrassed, touched his head, his cheeks flushed.

When Su Shu looked at him, suddenly just like that, as if from Apocalypse she momentarily traveled back to the playful riverside of her childhood.

There was once an older boy who blocked her path, leapt into the river with a scoop net, and said, “Su Shu, let me catch some fish for you.”

“You are…” she struggled to search for the imprint in her memory.

“Hehe, haven’t seen each other for so long, you forgot a bit, right?” the other person grinned sheepishly.

Su Shu thought for a long time but couldn’t remember, and embarrassed, she nodded slightly. “I remember you, but can’t quite recall your name.”

“Remembering my face is already not easy; my mom says even if I was thrown away no one would pick me up.” The young man was slightly shy as he introduced himself, “I’m Shanzi, Su Shan, from next door at your grandmother’s, two years older than you remember? Just call me Brother Shanzi.”

“Mmm, I kind of remember now, hi Brother Shanzi.”

“Hello, hello!” Shanzi seemed very pleased.

Seeing her holding a baby doll, he was somewhat startled, “You…you got married?”

Su Shu shook her head, smiling slightly, “No, this is my niece, my sister’s child.”

“Oh, my apologies.” Shanzi thought he had been rude with his abruptness, so he didn’t ask further.

Perhaps it was because of those sparse memories of him looking after her by the river when she was young, or because of the polite and sensible young man standing before her now, Su Shu had a rather good impression of Shanzi.

“Xiao’ai, this is Uncle Shanzi.”

Xiao’ai blinked her beautiful big eyes and looked at Su Shan, who was made somewhat uneasy by the little girl’s gaze, thinking she didn’t seem to like him, his eyes showing a bit of disappointment, but he still revealed a smile.

“Hello Xiao’ai, I’m Uncle Shanzi.”

Noticing his disappointment, Su Shu explained, “Brother Shanzi, Xiao’ai, she can’t speak; don’t mind it.”

“Ah?”

…

There were many people heading up the mountain to pick mushrooms, and besides, Su Shu had companions with her, so it wasn’t possible for her to stay and chat more with Su Shan.

“Happy to see you, Brother Shanzi, but we have to keep moving. Let’s chat another time?”

Su Shan glanced at her, then the people beside her, besides one strong man, they were either old or young.

“I’m also going up the mountain to pick mushrooms. How about we go together? An extra person could help more.”

“This…”

Su Shu felt somewhat troubled.

Truth to be told, even though he was a neighbor from the old times, she wasn’t very familiar with Su Shan, and she was there with Luo Family and Ge Family, which… it wasn’t quite right for her to decide alone.

As she just turned around, Luo Gang spoke up from behind, “Then let’s go together.”

Turning to Ge Family’s elders, they also nodded their heads, their smiles warm as they looked at the young man.

Su Shan too hurriedly spoke up, and seeing the other’s startled reaction, he realized he might have been presumptuous, and felt awkward, but then they agreed.
