"Put it here, I'll do it."
Meng Wantang washed her hands and took the shovel to cook.
She turned around and saw Lu Qingye still standing there, motioning for him to go inside and rest.
"Don't poke it here. Although your waist doesn't hurt that much, it won't heal that fast. Go back and lie down honestly, don't mess around."
Meng Wantang works quickly. After a while, the leeks were fried and brought into the house.
"Lu Yunhe, you three come inside to eat."
As soon as she said hello, the three little guys ran in happily.
Food is good these days.
The three children have gained weight visibly to the naked eye.
"Let's buy some meat to eat tomorrow." Meng Wantang thought the three children would be happy, but who knew that the three little guys didn't even raise their heads.
Gou Sheng didn't know who he had learned from, so he sneered: "Why is our family so poor? It's all because of you."
Meng Wantang, who took the blame: "..."
She picked up the tender leeks, blew on the spoon in Xiaopang's hand, and then asked Gou Sheng: "Aren't you going to eat the meat you bought?"
Gou Sheng said unconvinced: "Why don't I eat?"
Hey, this kid!
Meng Wantang was silenced by a child.
She was speechless. She turned around and saw Lu Qingye holding back his laughter. She said angrily: "Laugh if you want to, don't hold it back."
"What?"
Lu Qingye looked at her blankly.
"..."
Really good at pretending.
Meng Wantang felt that the father and son were here to defeat her.
After eating, Goudan and Gou Sheng took down the dishes and put them in the cupboard after washing them.
Meng Wantang was lying on the kang, intending to lie down for a while before leaving, but she unexpectedly fell asleep.
Goudan entered the house, and Lu Qingye made a gesture. He did not come in, but pulled Gou Sheng out. Just as Gou Sheng was about to speak, Gou Dan covered his mouth.
After the two children left the house, Goudan said: "Mom is sleeping, let's not disturb her."
"She sleeps in hers, what? I can't enter the house even though she's sleeping?"
Gou Sheng is a rebellious person. If it were his original owner, he would probably have to be captured and given a beating.
This kid still doesn't mean what he says.
Say the most rebellious words and do the most considerate things.
He climbed into the small shack outside. There was another slightly worn straw mat inside. The children could play in it during the day. It was not hot and was quite cool.
You can also take a nap here at noon.
Since Meng Wantang stopped staying here at night, this was Gou Sheng and Gou Dan's small base.
"Brother, do you think she will change back?"
Gou Sheng was lying in the shack, looking at the blue sky, feeling that his current life was not real at all.
He didn't even know what it felt like to have a full meal.
Now I can eat some meat every meal and have a boiled egg every morning.
This is something I never dared to think about before.
It just happened miraculously.
"I don't want her to change back, I just want her to stay like this." Gou Sheng was very scared, and his thin body was shaking slightly.
Goudan suddenly said: "Our dad is back."
"What's the use of him coming back? He's not afraid of his wife." It's not that Gou Sheng looks down on his father, but that he hasn't lived with his father for a few days since he was a child.
The relationship between father and son is also very plastic.
At least here at Gou Sheng, there is very little affection between father and son.
"But it's good that he's back. When he comes back, our mother will no longer be the same woman." Gou Sheng turned over and asked uneasily, "Brother, is our dad really retired from the army?"
"Just take it as such."
Goudan couldn't bear to ruin his brother's mood.
Gou Sheng was quite perceptive: "Just take it as what it is called, right? Our dad has not retired from the army? So he is actually not leaving?"
As he spoke, he sat up instantly.
Goudan hurriedly held the person down: "I guess, I saw a man in military uniform coming to him that day, and the way he talked to him didn't look like an ordinary colleague."
"We'll ask him another day if he can still leave."
The children of the poor become rich early.
Children who are left alone will learn things early.
Gou Sheng and Gou Dan are much smarter than children of the same age.
"Why are you asking?"
Goudan has understood a truth since he was a child: he cannot rely on others and can only rely on himself. Even if his life is better now, he still won't rely on adults.
Gou Sheng put his hands on his hips and snorted coldly: "If he leaves, he must take us with him. Don't even think about getting away!"
Goudan thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"Go to sleep and ask when you wake up."
"sleep!"
After Gou Sheng finished speaking angrily, he lay down and fell asleep instantly.
…
Meng Wantang woke up from her nap and found herself holding Lu Qingye's arm. She was so scared that her whole body became stiff.
When did she get another habit?
She obviously sleeps very honestly and never falls asleep holding something in her arms.
Meng Wantang desperately wanted to push his hand away, but was worried that she would wake him up. So, he carefully took out his hand and slowly rubbed it under the kang.
After she sat up completely, she glanced at Lu Qingye guiltily.
When she found that Lu Qingye was still sleeping, she breathed a sigh of relief and quietly walked out.
Lu Qingye opened his eyes when he heard the footsteps, saw her back, and looked down at his hand, where the soft touch still remained.
Meng Wantang finished washing her face and began to comb her hair.
She looked at her waist-length hair and wondered if she could cut it and sell it for two yuan.
Two dollars can buy a lot of things.
But forget it.
She went back to trim her hair and get a fashionable perm in two years.
Meng Wantang returned to the house, took a teapot and went to work at the health center.
"Xiao Meng, you are here at the right time. Our comrades at the health center need to seek medical consultation regularly. From now on, you will be in charge of the Xiling Brigade."
As soon as Meng Wantang arrived, Doctor Dong came over.
She was stunned when she heard this: "Director, are we leaving now?"
"Yes! The fellow villagers may be waiting for us to go there! Dr. Zhao was in charge of that place in the past. Dr. Zhao couldn't cure many diseases. If the problem was serious, he would have to make another trip. You just happened to be here, and you can save a lot of money. Trouble." Dr. Dong gave Meng Wantang a few words and hurriedly left with the medicine box on his back.
Meng Wantang didn't have a medicine box, so he used a cloth bag, dug out his own money, bought some commonly used medicines and put them inside, put his pulse pillow on, put the tea jar on top, and went out.
The sun is quite bright on the road.
But there are weeping willows on the roadside.
The road is paved with sand. If you ride a bicycle, you may fall if you are not good at it.
Some of the stones on it are as big as pebbles.
My feet still hurt a little bit when I step on it wearing cloth shoes.
Meng Wantang deliberately walked to the edge, walking on the flattened dirt road at the edge, and then felt a little more comfortable.
Xiling Brigade is very poor.
Every household is a small bungalow made of adobe, which is short and dilapidated.
Unlike their Qinghe brigade, many households have houses with blue bricks and large tiles.
At this time, there was no one on the road.
On both sides are fields of corn.
The land here is all good farmland and the land is fertile. The corn grown is also much higher than that grown in other fields.
A gust of wind blew over and the sound of salad was heard.
Meng Wantang did not dare to take the small road, but still took the main road.
But the main road also has to pass through the foot of a deserted mountain.
Hearing the sound in the corn field, Meng Wantang turned back warily.
She always felt that the sound was not right.
