Not wanting Song Yan to see her cry, Su Lanying stood up and said, "I will go get a bowl of mung bean soup for you."
Song Yan hadn't eaten anything all morning, so he nodded and said, "Thank you."
While they were talking, Houzi stood to the side, watching them thoughtfully.
After Song Yan finished his mung bean soup and checked Su Lanying's condition, the two of them went to the east farmland to deliver lunch.
At first, Su Lanying wanted to go by herself, but Song Yan insisted on accompanying her. He rode his bicycle, and since her condition tended to worsen during summer, a heat stroke could be dangerous.
Using his bicycle not only shortens the travel time, it also saves her the pain of being burned by the sunlight.
After some persuasion and back-and-forth arguments, she finally relented and sat on the back seat of Song Yan's bicycle, holding a bamboo basket.
As they rode, Song Yan said, "Lanying, the road is bumpy—you have to hold on tight."
