Chapter 154 Knocking on the door at midnight

Lu Qiniang has too many concerns about Xiao Yan.

"...Once you get there, you'll all sleep on a large bunk bed. It's common for someone to snore or have smelly feet. You and Yun Ting, you need to be patient. When the food is distributed, don't just hold it in your hands. Go and grab it quickly. Ask for more the first time. Don't think you'll get a second chance; there won't be any left..."

These two people have not seen much of the suffering in the world.

I'm really worried that they won't be able to get any food.

When you raise pigs yourself, you have to keep an eye on them and intervene a little to ensure that the pigs have enough to eat.

But no one really cares about corvee labor.

Lu Qiniang thought as she spoke, and the more she gave instructions, the more she gave.

"I've brought you four sets of clothes and shoes, but if that's not enough for a change, send a message and I'll bring them to you when I visit you."

She had already planned that Xiao Yan would be able to come back during the Mid-Autumn Festival six days later.

Thirteen days later, she went there again to bring some new food to Xiao Yanyunting.

It’s easier to endure if we separate like this for twenty days.

Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Okay, I've got it all in mind. Don't overthink it, it's just forced labor. I'm young and strong, so I'm not afraid of putting in the work."

He can do it, he can do it!

"Yes, I just can't do it. You talk to Xiao Yan and ask him to keep me at home!" Yun Ting was arguing with Erya.

The reason was that Erya brought him insoles and casually said, "You can only carry half a bucket of water, can you do it?"

Then Yunting exploded.

"Why are you so good at telling me?" Erya didn't even give him the insole. "If you don't want to go, go talk to my dad! You don't know what's good for you! If it wasn't for training you, my dad wouldn't have to go through that! Isn't it all because I'm accompanying you, the young master? If you understood the sufferings of the world and made progress yourself, would these people have to go through so much trouble? Isn't it good for my dad to accompany my mom?"

It's really like a dog biting Lu Dongbin, not knowing the kindness of a good person.

Erya left angrily.

Yun Ting felt a little regretful again.

He really shouldn't have lost his temper with Arya just now.

And what Erya said makes sense.

It was because of this loser that Xiao Yan went to so much trouble.

He is so useless!

Regardless of whether they were reluctant or depressed, they both set off the next day.

Yun Ting looked at Erya and said awkwardly, "Don't judge people by their appearance. I'm sure I can do it! Anyone who can't is a pig!"

Xiao Yan glanced at him. It turned out that there was another person in the shadow of "no"?

Erya said, "Stop messing around with pigs. How can you be as worry-free as a pig?"

Yun Ting was so angry that he left in a rage.

Lu Qiniang didn't have time to think about it, so she took her three daughters and went to set up the stall as usual.

But throughout the day, Xiao Yan didn't come over often to check on and help, and Yun Ting didn't make any noise around, so it seemed like something was missing.

When she went to buy vegetables, thinking that Xiao Yan liked to eat fish, Lu Qiniang saw the fishmonger and subconsciously walked over.

When she reached the stall, the fishmonger was about to greet her when she remembered Xiao Yan was not there and turned away.

Oh, I'm used to it, I'm really used to it.

I feel so empty inside when this person leaves!

When she got home in the evening, she carefully checked the door bolt and locked it twice.

Without Xiao Yan, this sense of security is much less.

While eating, San Ya muttered, "Mom, when will Dad come back? I want Dad to play football with me."

"It's just over half a month, it will be over quickly." Lu Qiniang said.

She had a poor appetite and only drank a bowl of porridge without eating any dry food.

It’s just right to be a little thinner so that I won’t be embarrassed by Doctor Hu.

After dinner, Lu Qiniang spread a piece of cloth as usual, poured all the money she had earned today on it, sat down cross-legged, and began to count the money.

While counting, she had to stop and react. She was particularly prone to forgetting when counting change.

Usually Xiao Yan would be nearby, and even if he was doing something else, he could quickly and accurately report a number when Lu Qiniang was distracted.

Not today...

Lu Qiniang counted more carefully and slowly.

"Twenty-seven, twenty-eight, twenty-nine..."

"Mom, we've finished washing up, and there's some hot water left in the pot for you." Daya shouted in the kitchen.

"Okay, go to bed with your sisters. Hey? How many did I count?"

Forgot, Lu Qiniang can only count from the beginning.

After counting the money and keeping track of it, her crooked numbers looked like a lame duck next to Xiao Yan's neat handwriting, as ugly as it could be.

Lu Qiniang shook her head, put the account book away, went to the kitchen to get some hot water, came back to wash up, and then lay down on the kang.

Because she had been sleeping with Xiao Yan for a long time, she had even gotten used to sleeping with clothes on.

In the past, she would lie down, dazed, and Xiao Yan would talk to her.

Sometimes she would reply with a few words, and sometimes she would fall asleep directly and answer in her dreams.

But today, no one talked to her, and she couldn't sleep.

Looking at the gradually full moon outside, Lu Qiniang couldn't help but wonder, is Xiao Yan off work now? Has he eaten yet? Can he get used to sleeping in the big bunk bed? Has Yun Ting been coaxed?

Yun Ting is already a cause for concern at home. If he doesn't behave when he goes out, Xiao Yan will probably be angry.

She should have brought him some of Doctor Hu's pills for clearing away heat and reducing internal heat, but she hadn't thought it through.

The autumn heat is quite severe. She didn't bring any anti-heat pills with her. She didn't expect that...

Just as she was daydreaming, Lu Qiniang suddenly heard Ah Huang stand up and trot out "Woof woof woof".

"Ah Huang, come back," Lu Qiniang scolded with a smile, "I'm just passing by. You run out every day when you hear any noise. Be careful, someone might steal you away at night!"

But a moment later, there was a knock on the door.

Lu Qiniang's heart suddenly tightened.

Oh no, oh no, those people who knocked on the widow’s door are here again?

Xiao Yan had just left, and there was no man left at home, and someone came knocking on the widow's door?

Bastard!

Now she is no longer a widow, she has a husband.

Worried about the safety of her three daughters, Lu Qiniang said, "Da Ya, look after the two sisters. Don't go out. I'll go out and see who it is."

"Okay." Daya agreed calmly, but began to get dressed and stood up.

"Sister, where are you going? Didn't mother say that we are not allowed to go out?" Erya held her back.

After Daya put on her clothes, she lit the oil lamp with a tinder and sat there waiting.

"Abandoned Mother, it's me, I'm back." Xiao Yan's familiar voice came.

Daya smiled and said to Erya, "You go to sleep, and make sure Sanya doesn't roll off the floor. I'll go make something for Dad."

She knew it was Xiao Yan.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Lu Qiniang opened the door and saw Xiao Yan. She looked him up and down, feeling extremely nervous. "What happened?"

Coming back in the middle of the night makes one feel very nervous.
