Mr. Lu felt a little dizzy.
But his hands never stopped moving.
In places like this, they are just tools for doing the work. Even if they are not feeling well, as long as they are not unable to move, they have to keep working.
Even if Lu Zhenfeng and Shi Meijun wanted to replace the old man, they couldn't.
Because their work will only be more and heavier.
Shi Meiyun, who had never done hard labor before, had blisters on her hands and was sore all over after only two days here.
Shi Meiyun has been crying for the past two days, but she dare not let her husband and grandfather know, lest they feel even more upset.
The whistle for rest didn't sound until the sun was about to set in the afternoon.
Lu Zhenfeng immediately went to find his old father.
Seeing his old father become so haggard and exhausted in just two days, Lu Zhenfeng felt both angry and helpless.
He had no choice but to silently take over his father's bamboo basket and iron pickaxe, and support his father with one hand and walk back.
Mr. Lu wiped the sweat from his head and sighed: "I don't know how Qiu Qingqing is doing. Calculating the date, she should go to the countryside."
"As long as Ah Heng hasn't been demoted, the child won't be implicated." Lu Zhenfeng said.
"But she's a lesbian..." Old Master Lu shook his head, "How could Weiguo not care about his own daughter?"
Lu Zhenfeng opened his mouth, but in the end all he could come out was a sigh.
"This child has a hard life."
When she was a child, she was maliciously swapped by the Shi family. When she grew up, her blood relatives had no feelings for her. When she got married, her in-laws were like this...
Think about their situation. They can barely take care of themselves, so why should they worry about Qiao Qingqing?
Dinner was a bowl of sweet potato porridge and some pickles for each person.
After finishing the meal, my stomach is still empty.
But even so, we still have to work for another hour before the sun sets.
By the time it got dark, they were exhausted.
Shi Meiyun, who was always particular about her appearance, was tortured to the point where she didn't want to move.
In their small room, besides the Lu family's three members, there was also a couple.
Since they have just arrived and are not familiar with each other, they have not yet had any conversation.
At night, everyone lay down and the oil lamps were lit in the room.
Everyone stared at the top with their eyes open in a daze.
At this moment, their hearts are filled with confusion and helplessness.
No one knows if there will be a chance to leave this place in this life.
Despite being physically and mentally exhausted, everyone was too anxious to sleep.
It was not until late at night that I gradually couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell into a dream.
On a quiet night, only moonlight shines on the earth.
The whole village was quiet, with only the occasional barking of dogs being heard.
"Rustle, rustle..."
Shi Meijun was used to a life of luxury, which made it difficult for her to adapt to the bed here. She was basically in a light sleep.
When the strange sound came, Shi Meiyun woke up in shock.
At this moment, Shi Meiyun felt a little panicked. Could it be a rat or a snake?
She wanted to wake her husband up, but then she thought about how tired he was that day and how he had to get up early to work the next day... so she forced herself to suppress the urge.
Shi Meiyun turned over and covered her ears.
If you can't hear it, you won't be afraid...
But the moment she closed her eyes, her daughter-in-law's face suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Mom, I will come to find you after you go to the Hongsheng Brigade. Remember to come out and check if you hear a cat meowing at night."
Shi Meiyun suddenly turned over and sat up, her heart beating faster: Could it be that Qingqing is here?
As soon as the thought flashed through my mind, I heard a cat's meow outside!
Shi Meiyun suppressed her excitement, carefully got out of bed, put on her shoes, and tiptoed out of the room.
Following the sound, Shi Meiyun came to the back of the cowshed.
The cowshed was surrounded by thorn bushes and fences. When Shi Meiyun ran to the front of the fence in the moonlight, the cat's cry suddenly disappeared.
