'Xiaoyu? '
Is that person Brother Ning?
"Girl, your plaster is ready."
The guy opposite the medicine cabinet said this three times before Xiao Yu came back to her senses.
Seeing Liu Hong and another clerk over there looking at her strangely, Xiaoyu hurriedly paid the money, took the plaster, lowered her head and hurriedly left the hospital.
She didn't rush back, but hid in a corner outside the hospital.
After a while, Liu Hong also came out.
Xiao Yu secretly followed Liu Hong to the entrance of the alley where she passed to buy fish early that morning.
Then, he watched Liu Hong enter one of the back doors in the alley.
That back door was the house from which Ning Su walked out.
Xiaoyu stood at the entrance of the alley, watching all this blankly.
Did I... misunderstand Brother Ning?
The girl bit her lip lightly, feeling mixed feelings in her heart.
She couldn't tell what it felt like, but there was a hint of sweetness and joy, growing out of her heart.
…
After Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang successfully returned to Xiushui Town.
Bai Laowu didn't know what he said to General Xiahou. General Xiahou actually granted Luo Fengtang a one-month holiday.
Together with Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing, the restaurant in Xiushui Town is now on track under the management of Li Dayer and Xiaoyu.
"Why don't we go back to Changping Village and stay for a while." Yang Ruoqing suggested.
I haven’t been back for a long time, and I miss it a bit.
In a few days, it will be the end of the summer heat, and the wild fruits and medicinal materials in Mianniu Mountain will be ripe.
She had to go back and make arrangements in person, dig deeply into these wild goods, and then transport them to all directions.
Furthermore, last time Dad and the others sent a letter saying that they would celebrate Lao Yangtou’s sixtieth birthday in August.
Hearing Yang Ruoqing's suggestion, Luo Fengtang nodded: "That's exactly what I meant."
The two of them decided to go back to Changping Village with the convoy early the next morning without further delay.
…
Changping Village.
It has been raining for the past few days, and the family has been unable to change their clothes.
In the morning, there was still rain in the sky, and Yang Huazhong drove Daan and Dajie to the town school in a carriage.
Mrs. Sun left Xiao An under the care of Mrs. Sun who lived in the courtyard next door.
I carried two large basins of clothes, put on my coir raincoat, and went to the pond at the entrance of the village to wash myself.
By the pond, Osmanthus and the others are also here.
When the women met, each one had a sad face.
Osmanthus said: "God never clears up, and I don't know when it will rain. There are a lot of clothes and shoes!"
Sun gave the stone next to her to the sweet-scented osmanthus and said, "Who knows, there will be enough rain this year, and the late rice will not have to be irrigated. This is a good thing, right?"
Osmanthus nodded, and the women gathered together to wash.
Osmanthus asked Sun: "Mother Qing'er, your Qing'er hasn't been back for a while, right?"
Sun said: "Yes, the whole summer has passed and she hasn't come back yet."
"That child is in the south, and I don't know how he is doing! Hey!"
Osmanthus fragrans said: "Don't worry, my Xiaoyu has also passed away. They two have company. The girls have grown up and become sensible. Let's stop worrying."
Sun nodded.
The words encouraged each other, but when the two women lowered their heads to wash their clothes, they were each thinking about the girl on the other side of the mountain.
Some woman with sharp eyes suddenly said loudly: "Hey, look, isn't that the transport team member coming back?"
Here, Mrs. Sun quickly raised her head.
On the pond where the rain was falling, the familiar mule team was coming this way.
Just like every time before, she was looking for the figure she missed most in the crowd.
This time, she was not disappointed.
"Qing'er, it's Qing'er, my Qing'er is back!"
The woman was so happy that she stood up and didn't care that the mallet in her hand fell into the water.
He turned around and ran towards Tangba.
Tangba area.
Yang Ruoqing was walking beside the mule cart, wearing a bamboo hat on her head. As she passed the pond, her eyes were looking for her mother's figure by the pond in front of her.
During her long stay in the south, she dreamed several times at night that she had returned to the village.
He saw his mother either standing by the pond or standing under the old maple tree and making moves towards him.
When she was so excited, she ran over and reached out to hug the woman, but she was in vain.
Only then did I realize it was just a dream...
At this moment, he saw Mrs. Sun running towards him.
No matter how hard it was for Yang Ruoqing to contain her excitement, she ran towards him.
The edge of the pond was very slippery after it rained.
Sun was running fast and accidentally slipped and her legs fell to her knees in the mud.
So much so that the sweet-scented osmanthus behind him didn't even have time to pull it.
"Mom, mom, are you okay?"
Yang Ruoqing rushed to Sun and helped her up.
"Mom, did you feel any pain from the fall? Let me see if your skin is broken or bleeding!"
Yang Ruoqing asked repeatedly, looking at Sun nervously.
Sun smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt at all!"
The woman held Yang Ruoqing's arm tightly and looked Yang Ruoqing up and down.
My daughter has lost weight again, but she has become more juicy.
Osmanthus came over to greet Yang Ruoqing, and Yang Ruoqing said: "Aunt, Xiaoyu didn't come back this time, but she brought something for you, and it's at Uncle Chang Geng's."
Osmanthus smiled and nodded again and again, standing there and saying hello to Chang Geng: "You and the others go to Lao San's house to unload the goods first. I'll go find you after I've washed these clothes!"
Chang Geng responded and led the convoy to Yang Ruoqing's compound.
Here, Yang Ruoqing, who has excellent balance, helped Sun to the side.
"Mom, your pants are dirty. Come on, let's go home and change clothes first. These dirty clothes will be washed later."
she said.
Sun turned around and looked at the pile of dirty clothes, a little hesitant.
Osmanthus hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it for you, no one will take it."
Mrs. Sun smiled gratefully at Osmanthus: "I'll be here in a minute."
After saying that, the woman held Yang Ruoqing's hand and happily walked towards the gate of her courtyard.
In the front yard, Lao Suntou and his uncle were helping Chang Geng and the others unload the goods. The eldest Sun came over to pour tea and get melon seeds and peanuts for everyone.
In the west wing of the backyard.
Hearing that Yang Ruoqing was back, Mrs. Sun quickly came over with Xiao An and Xiao Jie.
After not seeing each other for more than two months, my brothers and sisters have all grown up.
Yang Ruoqing was very happy and gave them the key to her house.
"There is food on the table in sister's room. You two can go pick it up. Take whatever you like!"
Xiao An and Xiao Jie ran out of the house cheering.
Here, Mrs. Sun brought over a basin of hot water.
"Granny, why do I need you to carry water? Let me do it!"
Yang Ruoqing went over and took the basin from Mrs. Sun's hand and placed it in front of Mrs. Sun.
Then he turned around and opened the cupboard to find clean pants for Mrs. Sun.
When he opened the cupboard door, he found that there were only a few pieces of Yang Huazhong's trousers left inside, and there were no trousers of Sun's at all.
