Yao Xiaoman gradually burst into tears in her arms.
"Sister Qingqing...my parents and my eldest brother's family were also sent down!"
Hearing the news, everyone felt sad for Yao Xiaoman.
I couldn't think of any words to comfort her.
I had no choice but to ask where her family members were sent to.
"My parents live in the north, and my brother's family lives in the central part..." Xiao Man said hoarsely, "My mother is in poor health, and she is most afraid of pain, but now she has to live in the north..."
Qiao Qingqing was silent for a while, then said softly, "Let's go to the county town tomorrow and buy some more cotton wool to make two cotton-padded jackets for your parents and a thick quilt. You can send them to them."
Yao Xiaoman burst into tears instantly.
She was so sad. She thought that by going to the countryside, she could not only earn a future for herself but also bring a good reputation to her family. She kept telling her family in her letters that she would return home in a year or two.
No one expected that the world would change so quickly!
Everything was fine the last time I received a letter from home, but it hasn’t been that long and her house has been raided!
Zhou Lanfang couldn't help but think of her family.
She and Yao Xiaoman have similar family backgrounds and come from the same place, which is why they have the best relationship.
This also means that if something happens to the Yao family, her family may not be able to escape.
When Zhou Lanfang thought of this, she felt like sitting on pins and needles.
It was obvious that everyone was not in a good mood, so Qiao Qingqing didn't say much and asked everyone to eat quickly.
As Yao Xiaoman ate, tears began to fall from her eyes.
"I'm lucky. I was able to make good friends and eat delicious food in a foreign country. But my parents can only eat steamed buns in the north and have to face the cold wind every day. I don't know how long they can last."
When Qiao Qingqing heard this, she whispered to comfort him, "Uncle and aunt, God is on your side. Everything will be fine."
This is the only way they can comfort themselves now, after all, there is nothing they can do.
Although Lu Heng was in the army, he was only a small platoon leader. His own situation was not good, so how could he reach out to others?
After seeing off Yao Xiaoman and the others, Qiao Qingqing went back to the house, shaking her head and sighing.
Lu Heng followed in.
"When my family was sent down to the countryside, were you afraid?"
Qiao Qingqing glanced at him. "At that time I knew they were going to be sent down to Heyu Village. I have lived in this place for more than ten years. Before I left Beijing, I also signed up to go to the countryside to join the Hongsheng Brigade. So I just felt that this was fate. It was destined that I would be tied to the Lu family. That's why I was so determined to fight side by side with the Lu family later."
Lu Heng smiled: "Why don't you lie to me? Are you doing this for me?"
Qiao Qingqing curled her lips: "What a sweet dream, I wasn't familiar with you at that time."
Lu Heng: ...
The next day, Lu Heng rode his bicycle with Qiao Qingqing, while Yao Xiaoman and Zhou Lanfang took the brigade's ox cart and went into the city together.
This time they didn't borrow the brigade's ox cart for personal matters, but Zhou Jianbin wanted to deliver seafood.
Since the spring plowing season, the brigade's fishing team has started going out to sea every day again.
Basically every other day, Zhou Jianbin would bring seafood into the city.
Qiao Qingqing hadn't seen Manager Liao and the restaurant's chef for a long time.
It’s not that they didn’t ask Qiao Qingqing, but under Qiao Qingqing’s guidance, Zhou Jianbin also learned to secretly give them benefits.
So now, Zhou Jianbin has become familiar with them.
When they arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, Zhou Jianbin was delivering the goods behind, while Qiao Qingqing and her husband, and Yao Xiaoman were queuing at the door.
The money for the lottery was pooled among the three of them, but Qiao Qingqing paid the lion's share.
Yao Xiaoman also knew that she owed her a lot, but this time it was to save her parents' lives, so she couldn't be hypocritical. She could only swear in her heart that she would repay Sister Qingqing in the future.
With the beginning of spring, cotton was no longer in short supply, so they were lucky enough to buy enough cotton.
When Yao Xiaoman and Zhou Lanfang came out of the supply and marketing cooperative, Qiao Qingqing told them that she and Lu Heng were going to find some friends.
Last time, she took a large amount of dry goods from the brigade and asked a friend to take them to sell in other places. After so many days, the other party should be back, so Qiao Qingqing had to ask.
Yao Xiaoman and Zhou Lanfang were waiting for Accountant Zhou here.
When they arrived downstairs of Sun Zhong's house, Lu Heng gave her a few instructions and then rode away on his bike.
Lu Heng went into the city for business and agreed to pick her up at ten o'clock.
Qiao Qingqing watched him disappear at the end of her sight and turned away.
She did not go to Sun Zhong's house, but found a secluded place to enter the space.
I left early today and haven't picked up the eggs in the chicken coop yet.
Qiao Qingqing picked up eggs and fed the chickens, then watered the vegetable garden, then went into the cabin and went to bed to catch up on some sleep.
She was so sleepy.
Qiao Qingqing always felt that the baby in her belly was sucking her "essence"!
Otherwise it would be impossible to explain why she seemed unable to wake up after becoming pregnant?
Every day I am either sleeping or feeling sleepy.
With an extra person on the bed, Qiao Qingqing could no longer go into the cabin to catch up on some sleep as she did before, so her energy and spirit were not as good as before.
Fortunately, what Qiao Qingqing drank every day was spiritual spring water, so apart from feeling a little sleepy, she had no other discomfort.
After waking up from the cabin, Qiao Qingqing was full of energy again.
She was not in a hurry to go out. She lay in bed and read for a while until she got bored.
As soon as I left the cabin, I picked up the watch beside me, which showed that it was nine fifty.
The supply and marketing cooperative does not open until nine o'clock, and it takes more than ten minutes to ride a bike from the supply and marketing cooperative to Sun Zhong's home.
After walking for a while, she entered the space and was busy for about half an hour.
So this time only represents the time when she entered the cabin. In fact, she slept in the cabin for an estimated three hours.
The time-stopping function of the cabin gave Qiao Qingqing a lot more time to spend.
But no one can stay in still time forever.
That would drive people crazy.
This is also the reason why Qiao Qingqing basically does not enter the cabin for activities except sleeping.
Sun Zhong goes out every day. In order not to miss him, Qiao Qingqing plans to go back at 11 o'clock.
She came this time to discuss the sale of tuna with Sun Zhong.
——Since she became pregnant, Qiao Qingqing has not gone to the seaside to catch seafood.
Because the sea water is cold, soaking in it for a long time is not good for pregnant women.
She is not short of money now, so there is no need for her to take such risks to make money.
However, without fishing, the tuna in the space would have no food and could only be kept in spiritual spring water.
This also means that the longer the dozens of tunas stay in the space, the more spiritual spring water they consume.
Even though Qiao Qingqing didn't find any signs of the spiritual spring water drying up until her death in her previous life, this deal is still not worth it.
But before that, Qiao Qingqing planned to have a meal first.
I haven’t had a private session on my space for a long time.
Fish, shrimp, clams and squid meat, Qiao Qingqing can eat as much as she wants.
Isn’t this dish more delicious than the one in the restaurant?
After eating and drinking, Qiao Qingqing looked at the calf again.
In order to feed the cow, Qiao Qingqing even started watering the grass...
You need to water it with spiritual spring water every once in a while.
As a result, the grass in the space became increasingly lush, even as tall as her calves.
Fortunately, animals cannot appear out of thin air in space, otherwise she would have to worry about whether a snake would pop out of the grass.
The calf is growing strong and sturdy, and judging from its size, it looks like a one-year-old cow, not like a calf at all.
And probably because he grew up in space, Xiao Niu was very close to Qiao Qingqing. When he saw her coming, he took the initiative to step forward, raised his head and gently nudged her hand.
Thanks to this little calf, there is a hint of life here.
Qiao Qingqing stroked the docile calf and thought, "What name should I give you? ... Fugui, Niu Fugui, how about that?"
Calf: Moo!
"Okay, that's settled. From now on you'll be called Niu Fugui." Qiao Qingqing was satisfied.
Although this name sounds tacky, it has a good meaning.
I chatted with Niu Fugui for a while and explained the meaning of "Niu Fugui" to him, aiming to let Niu Fugui know his mission.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Qiao Qingqing left the space.
Today she was carrying a basket of vegetables with a big fish underneath.
The first time Huang Wenxiu saw her, she smiled warmly and happily.
Qiao Qingqing smiled back: "Sister-in-law, I am sorry to bother you again. Is Brother Sun here today?"
"Yes, yes, I'm getting ready to eat!"
Huang Wenxiu said, turning around and shouting: "Ah Zhong, the elder sister is here!"
In the bedroom, Sun Zhong was teasing his son. When he heard the shout, he quickly got up.
Today Qiao Qingqing came over with good news. When Sun Zhong heard that she was going to sell tuna again, he couldn't suppress his smile.
But at this time, Huang Wenxiu reminded worriedly: "Ah Zhong, have you forgotten about the recent incident?"
Qiao Qingqing immediately became interested and secretly followed the conversation between the two.
Sun Zhong's smile faded. He did not look scared, but sneered instead.
"It's their own bad luck, what does it have to do with me? Besides, I saw more than just that person in the last meeting."
Sun Zhong's words sounded like a riddle, and Qiao Qingqing felt itchy.
She decided to take a gamble: "Brother Sun, did you tell my sister-in-law that this was the Ning family?"
However, Sun Zhong nodded readily, and he didn't seem surprised that she knew about the Ning family's misfortune.
"Big sister, you have heard about it, right? The Ning family betrayed their country and became spies. Now the whole family has been arrested. Only Ning Rong's wife and Ning Suxiang are still on the run."
Qiao Qingqing pursed her lips slightly. Looking at Sun Zhong, it seemed as if he had anticipated what would happen to the Ning family?
Now that she had an idea in mind, Qiao Qingqing began to test it out.
"I also heard from the villagers that Ning Suxiang's pregnancy before marriage was exposed, and her husband's family even asked the Ning family for a large sum of compensation."
