After several days of picking leftover grains, Fatty Shen hadn't appeared again. Lian Manman felt somewhat relieved yet also a bit disgruntled. The relief came because Fatty Shen was incredibly troublesome, so not encountering him was definitely a good thing. As for the disgruntlement, after thinking it over, Lian Manman was certain that her handkerchief must have been taken by Fatty Shen. Without seeing Fatty Shen, she had no way to get her handkerchief back. She had spent more than ten wen money on that handkerchief, and although because she didn't know how to embroider, she just did a simple stitch around the edges, it was stitched together by her own hand.
However, there was nothing more important than the harvest season. Lian Manman thought about Fatty Shen for a couple of days and then put him out of her mind.
