Chapter 898: It's Not Bad Living Like This Together
them. His eyes were leering and he glanced at Zhu Xiaowei before breaking into a smile. "No problem, no problem," he said. "You guys are our own people. I can apply for a quota of 100,000 yuan from th...The fact that they lived on this cliff face speaks volumes about how difficult life must have been for the Sima family in the past.
"My grandfather was very visionary. Even though life was tough, he made sure his children studied hard. My dad and my uncle became the first university students from our village and county. After that, they just kept pushing themselves forward. I guess they were afraid of poverty, so now they're incredibly focused on making money."
Sima En squatted in front of the earthen stove, using firewood to cook.
Song Mengmeng had never seen such a cooking method before, it was really too primitive. She didn't expect that this person's fire skills were quite skilled.
"Didn't you say you only came here for one summer vacation during elementary school How come you're still so familiar with it now"
Sima An had a lot on her mind, and she only shared it with Song Mengmeng.
"Because I'm smart," he said, turning his head with a brilliant smile on his face.
Song Mengmeng grabbed a large radish and was about to smash it on his head. She had never seen someone so shameless.
There are quite a few radishes in this room, along with some potatoes and sweet potatoes. They even have salt.
"This is salt, it can be preserved for a long time, you probably won't die from eating too much."
Sima An cooked her a very simple carrot and potato soup, and also stewed some sweet potatoes.
Probably because I was very hungry, I ate with relish.
"Our Mengmeng is just that easy to take care of." Sima An chuckled and patted her head.
Song Mengmeng angrily stuffed things into her mouth, making her cheeks bulge. "Get lost! Who's to blame for this"
"Mengmeng, if we lived together like this, it would be pretty nice."
She ate too intently and didn't hear what he said.
He looked at her, and she felt that his gaze was complex. "What did you just say"
"I said you looked ugly when you were eating," Sima An laughed heartily.
Song Mengmeng had long since gotten used to it. His untethered personality and lack of regard for cleanliness meant he would just plop down directly on the dusty, lime-washed floor.
I didn't even recognize him at first glance. He looked disheveled, with a messy beard. I wonder how he managed these past few days.
"You've had your fill, so why don't you get going while it's still daylight Otherwise, there might be wolves or bears at night."
Her stomach hadn't digested well yet, but Sima An stood up and wanted to chase her away.
"Why"
He walked to the table, found a rough, broken bowl, poured himself some freshly boiled water, let it cool, and took a sip.
"Why are you hiding in this place"
She asked straight to the point.
She knew Sima An wasn't someone who was easily knocked down, nor was he so irresponsible that he would run off to this deep mountain forest. It was simply outrageous.
"I'm serious, it gets really creepy here after dark. The wind is cold and the door keeps sticking. There are wild animals in the woods, they could attack anytime."
Sima An did not answer her question directly, but instead scared her.
"You had better leave as soon as possible."
After a person has eaten their fill, they feel bolder.
Song Mengmeng's voice rose, "What about you Aren't you leaving"
"Your family company has such a big mess, aren't you going back to deal with it"
"And let me tell you, Mo Yufie has gone crazy. I don't know what kind of stimulation she received abroad, but she..." The rest of the sentence was left unsaid.
Mo Yufei admitted that she was the one who set the fire at her nanny's house, almost killing the nanny and her daughter.
Song Mengmeng had never been so angry. She walked up to him.
Sima An was squatting on the grass, she was condescending at this time, and there was quite a bit of momentum, "You left so many messes behind, just hiding here, do you think it's suitable!"
He leaned against the rickety door, his eyes fixed on the verdant forest ahead, lost in thought. Suddenly, as if to himself, he muttered...
"So, what can I do when I go back"
Her expression froze, she didn't expect him to retort like that.
"I went back, and I couldn't do anything."
At this moment, Song Mengmeng truly couldn't understand. The dejection in his voice left her perplexed. She had no idea what could have caused him to be so downcast.
It is 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
Sima An is right, if we are leaving, we should do it as soon as possible. Otherwise, these mountain paths will be impassable after sunset, especially since I just scared her by saying there are wild animals.
She couldn't persuade him.
Perhaps she wasn't heavy enough for him.
"You have to escape here, and I can't stop you."
"But you should at least consider your children," said Song Mengmeng, her voice firm and resolute.
Leaning against the rickety door, the man who had been sitting serenely suddenly frowned and looked up at her with a puzzled expression.
"Lan Lan is pregnant." She looked straight into his eyes, and found that Sima An was actually a little surprised.
It seems he never knew.
"Didn't Lanlan tell you"
"Well, that woman informed her right away, thinking she could provoke her, saying, 'Actually, being a parent to one child isn't so bad.'" Song Mengmeng's tone held no blame, but rather sounded like a blessing.
Sima An seemed very impatient, waving her away. "Enough is enough, you're meddling too much. You can go down the mountain now, just leave quickly."
He probably thinks she's annoying and doesn't want to see her anymore.
"If you're feeling down and want to talk to someone, then you should talk to Lanlan." She said her last words, put on her small backpack, stood up, and left.
Sima An watched her slender and thin figure, keeping his gaze on her until that familiar and kind figure completely disappeared from his sight.
he then smiled wryly.
"Is Lanlan pregnant" he murmured.
Most women are very good at playing mind games. As long as you're so naive, Song Mengmeng, if they say anything, you believe it.
Never would I have thought that someone could actually find him.
He had always thought of himself as the clumsiest and worst at sports. He couldn't even run a short distance without getting out of breath, let alone climb a mountain. And yet, here he was.
At first sight of Sima An, she truly thought she was hallucinating.
My heart feels warm, and it seems like every time I think of her, all I have are happy and amusing memories.
If I could live with Song Mengmeng until we're old, that would be an incredibly happy thing.
It's a pity, he doesn't deserve it.
He had worked hard for so many years, only to be set back to before the Liberation in a single blow. The facts told him that no matter how much he tried, it would all be in vain. So why bother going back and trying again He might as well follow his grandfather's example and spend his remaining days in this peaceful mountain forest.
There are always some things on my mind.
"Song Mengmeng, will you come visit me again"
It should be fine now.
Just thinking about her clumsy climbing, like a koala, so slow it makes you worry she'll fall at any moment.
"Ah—"
Then, just at that moment, a scream echoed from the distance.
Sima An's brain flashed with some terrifying images, his face instantly turned pale, and he quickly stood up and ran towards the iron bridge.
"Mēngméng——" he shouted loudly, his mouth trembling.
"Mew-mew—"
"Here, I am right here." And at that moment, from the opposite direction, came that familiar voice.
Sima An stopped in his tracks, turned around abruptly, and looked towards the forest. He could vaguely see Song Mengmeng's figure and dashed over there immediately.
"Don't come any closer." Her voice sounded like she was about to cry.ed instantly, and her hand was still clutching the man's trousers...This scene is kind of awkward to watch."What are you going to do about hurting Zhi Mu with your clumsy hands!"Jiang Meili, who strod...
