Lu Liangzhou let go of his hand, rubbed his daughter's little head accurately, and said in a gentle voice, "Dad was indeed cold just now, but it's not cold anymore. Xueyan sleeps well."
Lu Hui on the other end called his father to come in quickly.
So, of the four quilts that were made, two were left unused.
Gu Mingtang raised his head and looked in the direction of Lu Liangzhou. She was sleeping on the end of the kang. Lu Liangzhou was at the end of the kang, next to the kang cabinet, and he could see a vague outline.
The lights were turned off too quickly just now, so I don't know if this person is clean.
In the darkness, Lu Liangzhou seemed to know what she was looking at and said, "Don't worry, my underwear is all clean."
Looking back at this, Mingtang snuggled into the bed with peace of mind, stretched her body contentedly, new quilt and new underwear, so warm and comfortable, ready to sleep!
Lu Liangzhou, who was full of worries, thought he would not be able to sleep peacefully, but under him was a soft quilt, which felt obviously thicker than the others. The tip of his nose smelled a faint fragrance, which made people relax a little bit.
Unexpectedly, when he opened his eyes again, it was already the morning of the next day.
He always got up early, and when he saw that there wasn't much firewood outside, he chopped the remaining firewood into small pieces and thought about bringing her a cart back some other day.
Before starting the ignition, the Corps' car had already parked at the door. The Corps had an urgent mission and he had to go. He got dressed quietly and wanted to leave a note, but suddenly he didn't know what to write. Yesterday he had a very interesting conversation with the Lu family. Clearly, I hope they understand that the word shame will never come to their door again.
In the end, he had to rush out of the village by car.
Gu Mingtang had actually woken up long ago, but she didn't want to get up.
My ears listened to the sound of Lu Liangzhou chopping firewood outside.
The air is so cold, but the bed is so warm. I don't know when I will be able to live in a house with floor heating.
After thinking about it, I fell asleep again.
When he woke up, Lu Liangzhou had already left.
She was about to get up, but suddenly she felt a little bad. The next second, a piece of yellow mud fell from the top of her head. If she hadn't been fast, it would have fallen into her mouth.
The roof of her thatched house is covered with yellow mud, as are the walls, which have long been in disrepair and have become mottled. The ground is directly the earth, which is not only dark but also full of potholes.
No wonder the Lu family from City A came in with a look of disgust but sympathy.
Lu Yuanqi's eyes were red and his voice was choked with sobs, as if his half-brother had suffered a terrible crime.
I don’t know if it was staged.
Gu Mingtang has been busy since he got up. First he made breakfast. Lu Liangzhou ate all yesterday's food, even the millet porridge.
She simply made hot soup noodles and cracked three poached eggs. The two children were very good at taking care of themselves. By the time she finished cooking and brought it in, they had already folded the bedding and stuffed it into the kang cabinet.
One poached egg for each person, Gu Mingtang didn't want to give all the delicious food to the children. In terms of birth date, she was younger than them.
After the meal, I sent the two children to their parents' house with a bag of candies.
The two children were still wearing the same clothes as yesterday. They were standing on the Gu family's kang, and Gu didn't dare to reach out to hug the children.
Lin Shulan said dissatisfied, "If you don't keep new clothes for your children to wear during the New Year, why take them out now?"
"Didn't I sell the cotton-padded clothes and shoes that their father bought for them? As you all know about the people from the Lu family, it's not good to keep them for the New Year. Then they will laugh at my daughter and son."
As he spoke, he pulled Lin Shulan aside, took out one hundred and fifty yuan and handed it to her. He lowered his voice and said, "This is the bonus that Public Security Sun gave me secretly. It's three hundred in total. Each of us has half. You have to keep it a secret." Don’t tell anyone, you hear me?”
Lin Shulan was so frightened that she stuffed the money into her trouser pocket and looked at Gu Mingtang with a complicated expression. It was her daughter, but not everyone had the small mole at the end of her eye.
This is what she has been raising since childhood.
She is her first daughter. She has been used to her beauty since she was a child. Who would have thought that she would be so used to worrying about something.
Every time she gets into trouble, her mother-in-law scolds her for what she deserves.
She didn't dare to say whether her temper had changed or not. She didn't even dare to ask the Lu family about their attitude, and she didn't want to meet them because the marriage was not a good one and she didn't have the dignity to do so.
But he still agreed angrily, "I'm not stupid, I won't tell anyone, but this money...does Lu Liangzhou know?"
"He doesn't care, just put it away without worry."
Next, Gu Mingtang arranged two more things. One was to ask Gu Quan to find a way to collect hundreds of kilograms of raw melon seeds, and the other was to get more corn leaves to store at home.
At present, Beihuang has not yet begun to allocate fields to each household, but each household also has a responsible field, which can grow vegetables and other things at will.
Then even the individuals did not officially start, they were all carried out secretly and privately.
It will take two years to truly let go.
Therefore, Gu Mingtang couldn't buy raw melon seeds in a big way, so he could only do it secretly.
Lin Shulan asked the first one, "Why did you buy so many raw melon seeds?"
"Sister Lu Liangzhou wants it. It's hard to tell her brother. You can only tell me."
Lin Shulan understood immediately. Even though she was from the city, she could not get as much as she wanted by ticket, "Are you anxious?"
"As soon as possible."
"Does your eldest sister also want corn leaves?" Lin Shulan expressed doubts.
"No, but I have inside information. Maybe corn leaves will be in short supply in the future. As for why, I'll keep it secret for now. Anyway, it's up to you. I don't care."
Gu Mingtang's casual look showed that he liked to mess up, which actually dispelled Lin Shulan's suspicion. Don't every family have corn leaves?
Everyone who lives nearby knows that his son Xiaohai makes sugar bowls out of corn leaves. Some of them look so good that he even wants to go home to put them in them.
So the excuse is ready.
When Gu Mingtang was sweating profusely and finished frying the spiced melon seeds, he heard the sound of Lu Meiying banging on the door outside, "Gu Mingtang, open the door for me, I know you are at home."
She packed herself up slowly and finally went out to open the door for a few people who were waiting impatiently.
However, he stood at the gate and said bluntly, "Lu Liangzhou is not at home."
"Can't we enter the house when we're not at home?" Lu Meiying trembled from the cold and said angrily, "I have something to tell you. By the way, where are Lu Hui and Lu Xueyan?"
At this time, Brother Jiang, the neighbor from the east courtyard, came out and looked over curiously, but hesitated to speak.
Even usually, Gu Mingtang didn't talk to them much.
At this time, it’s even harder to ask.
Brother Jiang was a nice person, maybe he was worried about the child, so he asked his son Aiguo to run over and ask, this is a tough-looking boy, "Is Ah Hui at home?" while looking at a few people curiously.
When several people saw the runny-nosed Patriot, they backed away with disgust on their faces.
Gu Mingtang snorted coldly, then said with a smile, "I'm not at home, I went to his grandma's house to play."
After receiving the news, Aiguo wiped his nose and ran away.
Shen Wan was so sick that she wanted to vomit, and hid behind Lu Yuanqi.
