Zhou Zhiyuan and Wang Shoulong stopped at the same time.
"If you have a problem, go get treatment! I just happened to drive here, so take your second uncle to the county hospital for a checkup! If you are sick, get treatment, but if you are not, you can rest assured!"
A meal of meat buns captured Wang Shoulong's heart. The old man was kind and honest, but he had been timid and fearful all his life while carrying a hunchback on his back. He had never done anything harmful to nature. How could such a good old man have such bad luck in life?
"Second uncle is worried about money, so he will definitely not go."
Zhou Zhiyuan frowned and his face became darker.
"Oh, you idiot, can't you make some changes? Just tell your uncle that I have a quota for a physical examination here. I suddenly remembered that all examinations are free! Let's do the examination first! "
Without waiting for Zhou Zhiyuan to respond, Wang Shoulong turned around and strode towards Zhou Yongshan's house.
Wang Shoulong was born in a cadre family and has never worried about money since he was born.
After eating so many steamed buns from his second uncle, he couldn't eat them alive, he had to return his favor.
Zhou Zhiyuan and Yao Jingping hurriedly followed.
"It can't be done... it can't be done... I'm an old man with his neck buried in dirt. How can I waste Comrade Wang's quota to check his body? The farmer's life is hard, it's okay, it's okay, it's very good, it's very good..."
After understanding what Wang Shoulong meant, Zhou Yongshan panicked and his head shook like a rattle.
Wang Shoulong was a high-ranking official in the army. Being able to come to his home for dinner was to give him face. How could he have the courage to follow him for a physical check-up?
After all these years, when did you get sick or suffer a disaster, did you not just fight it off yourself? Aren't you still alive now?
The most important reason is that he has no money.
"Second uncle, don't worry and go there. There is no cost for the examination. Jingjing will stay and help you take care of your home. I will follow my second uncle to the hospital."
"I'm not going? Should I stay by myself?"
After listening to Zhou Zhiyuan's arrangement, Yao Jingping hurriedly asked.
To be honest, she really doesn't want to be separated from him for a day now.
"Well, you stay and Black Wolf stays with you. They don't dare to come and cause trouble."
Zhou Zhiyuan glanced at her but hesitated to speak.
He finally figured out one thing now. The so-called "aunt" was not a real person, but her.
Her face turned a little yellow, and she held her belly from time to time, looking a little uncomfortable.
At this time, she was afraid of being cold and tired, and it was freezing cold, so how could she be allowed to run around with her.
"There can be a maximum of three people in the cab. You can't sit down if you go. You can rest at home and help your second uncle look after the house. I'll pack some clothes for my second uncle and we'll set off now."
"It's okay, I'm really okay. Why don't you kid listen to me? You just separated your family. Wang Guihua might make a fuss when she comes back. You're worried about leaving Jing Jing alone at home. Aren't you afraid..."
Zhou Zhiyuan took out a pair of patched autumn clothes and long trousers from the kang, looked at them, and then put them back.
He waved his hand at his second uncle, signaling him to just feel at ease.
"Just grab a washbasin, a thermos, a towel, a porcelain basin and dishes, and you don't need to pick up the clothes yet."
After saying that, he helped his second uncle put the dog-skin hat on his head, and asked Wang Shoulong to support his second uncle. He then walked out with the washbasin and the thermos bottle.
"If you don't know how to feed pigs, just call Hongxia and she can help you."
"My second uncle takes all the leftover steamed buns home. If you don't want to cook, you can just heat them up and eat them."
When he reached the gate, Zhou Zhiyuan turned around and gave another instruction. He raised his hand to take out the bundle of buns wrapped in Wang Shoulong's hand and stuff it into Yao Jingping's hand.
"Hey, you are so attentive. Are you worried that the pigs will not be fed well, or are you worried that your wife is tired?"
"Zhou Zhiyuan, just treat yourself as a human being. I won't eat when my sister-in-law eats?"
Wang Shoulong said again with a playful smile.
Zhou Zhiyuan raised his head and glared at him. He stuck out his tongue, helped his second uncle and walked towards the truck.
Yao Jingping hurriedly locked the door, closed the doors and windows tightly, and trotted to keep up.
She had to pack some clothes for Zhou Zhiyuan for who knows how many days.
I hurriedly ran home and found a set of autumn clothes and trousers with patched sleeves and frayed edges, a pair of socks and a pair of underwear. I rolled up the clothes and stuffed them into a military green luggage bag, and put an aluminum lunch box in. Put it in, pack it up, run out and stuff it into Zhou Zhiyuan's hands.
Zhou Zhiyuan returned to the yard, touched the black wolf's big head, and whispered to him in a low voice.
The black wolf nodded its head, blinked its eyes, and shook its tail, rubbing its head against him.
"Drive slowly on the road and don't be in a hurry."
Yao Jingping stood outside the car, waving and shouting instructions.
Seeing the Dongfeng truck start up, a head poked out of the cab, waving his big hand to signal her to go home quickly.
It's best that she made a mistake in her judgment. After all, the second uncle is old and in poor health. If there is a heart problem...
She didn't dare to think about it.
She turned and walked back to her yard.
Zhou Zhiyuan and Wang Shoulong not only built a wall in the yard, but also opened a door in the original wall. The door was temporarily closed with the fence gate of the old yard where they lived.
In this way, the three houses on the west side directly become two courtyards that do not interfere with each other.
The black wolf was lying under the east courtyard wall. When he saw Yao Ningjing coming back, he glanced behind him alertly to make sure the surrounding environment was safe. Then he lazily waggled his tail and lowered his head to nibble on a meat bun in the rice bowl.
Zhou Zhiyuan really regarded Heilang as a member of the family, and the meat buns were even willing to feed the dogs. If the women in the village saw this, they wouldn't know what to say about him.
There were piles of piled firewood and some wheat straw in the room outside. These must have been delivered by Zhou Changcun and Chen Hongxia.
These two couples are really good.
"Sister-in-law, are you back?"
Just when Yao Jingping was rubbing his hands and stamping his feet in the room, thinking about what to do to stay warm tonight, Chen Hongxia's voice came from outside.
"came back."
Yao Jingping is quite fond of this younger sibling. He is honest and down-to-earth, not too showy, and it is not tiring to interact with such a person.
"Sister-in-law, I brought over a clay stove and a small pot. It's cold at night. You can burn firewood to boil water, and the house can still be warm."
The door opened, and Zhou Changcun stood by the door holding a clay stove. Chen Hongxia held a small pot in one hand and a bamboo basket in the other.
"Seeing that my eldest brother's friends are coming, I fried some peanuts and asked Comrade Wang to come to my house to eat them. Now that my eldest brother and Comrade Wang are out, my sister-in-law can take them and eat them."
Zhou Changcun placed the clay stove against the wall, and without saying a word, he grabbed a handful of wheat straw and helped light the fire. When the wood started to crackle and burn, the taciturn man lowered his head and walked out.
Chen Hongxia helped fill the small pot with water, and the two sisters ate peanuts and talked around the clay stove.
"My eldest brother is so kind to my sister-in-law. As soon as I get married, I can separate the family and live alone..."
Looking up at the two separated rooms, Chen Hongxia looked envious.
Yao Jingping really wanted to tell her that she could also ask for a separation. Thinking about it, it is better to do less than to do more. It is best not to talk too much and cause trouble.
She smiled and said nothing.
"Mom and Chang'e haven't been home for two days. Why do they suddenly have a stomachache? I don't know what the serious problem is."
Chen Hongxia smiled and told Yao Jingping that her sister-in-law was really a big belly. Both her mother-in-law and Zhou Chang'e treated her like this. When they saw that Zhou Chang'e was sick, they even sent her to the hospital with Zhou Zhiyuan for treatment.
"If it were someone else's house, they wouldn't care if it hurts to death."
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Chen Hongxia knows this truth well.
Her mother-in-law favored Zhou Chang'e so much that the eighteen-year-old girl was as lazy as a pig. Not only did she fight for food with several nieces and nephews, but her mother-in-law often secretly fried eggs for Zhou Chang'e behind her back.
Because of this matter, Chen Hongxia had long been indignant and wished that this sister-in-law would find someone to marry as soon as possible.
"Have you noticed that Zhou Chang'e's condition is not right these days?"
The water in the small pot boiled, Yao Jingping poured some hot water, mixed some cold water to soak his feet, and asked casually.
Chen Hongxia was stunned.
