"You're leaving tomorrow. Have you bought your tickets?"
Qiu Yinuo was stunned, "Can't we just go to the train station and buy it tomorrow?"
"What are you thinking? I won't rush to buy it tomorrow."
"When I came here, I just bought a ticket on the spur of the moment."
"How many people can come to our small county town? There must be many people going to the provincial capital. Let Jin Jin buy you two tickets this afternoon, so that you won't be unable to buy them tomorrow."
Cheng Hongying is now very self-aware. Her son is horribly stupid, but fortunately he has no evil intentions. My daughter is lazy and greedy, but has a terrible clear head, so she can't be counted on to buy tickets.
"Just buy one and I'll go back by myself."
"What the hell? Why don't you take Qingqing back with you?"
"Well, I'll go back and clean the room, and then pick up the things the teacher mailed to the children. I'll be back in two or three days."
"It's time to get those milk powder back. If it's too late, it might expire soon. It's okay for us adults to drink expired milk, but not the Dabao and Erbao."
Qiu Yinuo rolled his eyes, "Adults can't drink expired food either."
"You have to bring so many things back, how can you do it without Qingqing?"
"The second baby, Dabao, is now able to crawl and sit. How can you do this all by yourself? Could it be that you still expect Jin Jin to help you."
Dabao and Erbao are very energetic now, and she really can't bear it alone.
It's not okay if no one is watching while cooking. It's okay for Jin Zi to watch one, but it's definitely not as good as Qingqing to watch two.
"Then you can't go back by yourself. If you go back with the gold, you can ask him to get something for you."
"Okay!" Qiu Yinuo compromised, "When he comes back soon, let him buy a ticket. Don't forget to make dumplings stuffed with pickled cabbage tonight." Seeing her mother pick up a fire stick, Qiu Yinuo was frightened. Nuo ran away quickly.
After swinging for a while, Jin came back and learned that his sister was taking her to the provincial capital, so she went to buy a ticket.
In the evening, Qiu Yinuo ate dumplings stuffed with pickled cabbage. Although there was less oil and water, it was still the dumpling she longed for.
*
The next day, Qiu Yinuo didn't expect that he would leave so sadly.
Dabao’s smile was almost gone, but he was still waving his little hands vigorously.
Erbao didn't even look at her. He was sitting on the kang and he didn't know where he had gone.
There was no such thing as he imagined. Qiu Yinuo groaned angrily. These two sons were raised in vain. It would be great if he had a daughter, who is pink and tender and can call her mother softly. It feels beautiful just thinking about it.
The two of them took the train for a long time. When they arrived at the station, the sky outside was gloomy.
It was Jin Zi's first time coming to the provincial capital. He was curious about everything he saw. He looked here and there and had too many questions.
"Sister, does my brother-in-law's house look like a department store right out of the door?"
"Then you are overthinking it. Although you live in the provincial capital, it is in the outskirts. It is far away from the department store. It takes more than an hour by car."
Jin Zi couldn't help but sigh, "It's a provincial capital after all. It's really big here."
The small western-style building here was particularly grand. He didn't even dare to think about getting close to the bustling area. How nice it would be there. It must be a world he had never seen before.
"Sister, can you take me out for a walk when you have time?"
Qiu Yinuo didn't hesitate, "Okay, I'll take you to see the world before going home."
When the two returned home, it was getting dark.
He took the big hazelnut at home to Aunt Yang's house next door and introduced his younger brother to them.
She went back to her hometown and brought back a strange man. It was always not good for strangers to see him.
It was passed around and passed around, but I don’t know what it turned into in the end.
"Yi Nuo, you came back just in time. In order to prevent the room from getting damp, I will occasionally light the stove for you to remove the cold. No, I just lit it today. I guess the fire hasn't been put out yet? Come on, let's go over and take a look. Look." After that, Aunt Yang packed two more pieces of briquettes from home, "You only have firewood there and don't have this kind of briquettes. I'll give you two pieces of briquettes first."
"Thank you, Aunt Yang. I will return it to you after I buy the coal tomorrow."
"I see you didn't bring the child with you this time. Do you plan to leave again?"
"Well, the eldest son and the second son can't live without my mother now, so I want to live in the village before the children go to school, and then come back after they go to school."
Aunt Yang patted Qiu Yinuo's hand and said earnestly, "Yi Nuo, Aunt Yang may say a few things that you don't like, so don't mind. In fact, nowadays, especially when a mother has a son, No one wants to raise children for their daughter, it’s not easy for your mother, so don’t be too stubborn sometimes.”
She knew that the other person was doing it for her own good, so she nodded in agreement.
"Aunt Yang, I understand everything you said. By the way, people from the Public Security Bureau have been to our house recently. Is there any news about my mother-in-law?"
When my mother-in-law disappeared, the nearby neighbors reported her to the police.
In this age without cameras, finding a person with amnesia is equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack.
"No one has come forward to tell me. If it doesn't work, you can ask again tomorrow."
"That's fine." Aunt Yang secretly glanced at Swing Gold, "Your brother isn't married, is he?"
"Um."
"It looks like it." She lowered her voice deliberately, "When your brother gets married, your sister-in-law won't be able to let your mother take care of the child. When that time comes, you will come back. We old sisters can't help."
Qiu Yinuo was extremely grateful. Just because they had a good relationship with her mother-in-law, they helped her unconditionally, regardless of whether they helped or not, but she accepted the love.
Entering the house, the chickens were still jumping around in the fence under the corner.
The yard is extremely clean, and when I open the door, a wave of heat hits my face.
There was no trace of moisture in the air, so Qiu Yinuo called to his brother to add briquettes.
When I returned to the house, I first pulled out two beddings from the cabinet and put them on the kang for some comfort.
Seeing that there were only two people in the room, Aunt Yang lowered her voice and asked, "Yi Nuo, is your distant cousin still at your house?"
Qiu Yinuo's heart skipped a beat, "What's wrong?"
"A few days after you left, someone came to inquire about a person. The person they were looking for looked similar to your cousin, but those people insisted that he was a man. Our group of people didn't think about anything else. They just said that they might be looking for someone. Wrong person. But no matter how much I thought about it afterwards, something was wrong. Do you think your cousin offended someone outside?"
After hearing this, she breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that they still don't know that Qingqing is a woman. She always has neat short hair and is taller than ordinary women. It's normal to make a mistake.
"Are they here again?"
"I'm here again, but I heard that you haven't come back. I was quite angry. When I left, I kicked the door several times, which scared us neighbors so much that we didn't dare to go out. I didn't mean anything else, I just wanted to tell you. , your cousin really provoked someone who shouldn’t be provoked, you must be prepared."
Aunt Yang has always been strict with her words, and Qiu Yinuo didn't tell her to keep her mouth shut.
If she wanted to say it, she would have said it long ago.
