Chapter 38 The unique simplicity of this era



"What's going on?"

Ming Leyao looked at Liu Qiu Shuang in confusion.

"When I came here just now, I saw two comrades carrying the fat and swollen Fu Wencheng to the car. I heard that it was because Fu Wenli secretly ran to Doctor Meng's place and stole an important Western medicine? I heard it was quite expensive. What was it called... something... Min? I don't remember it."

"......"

Thinking of Fu Wenli's conceited look yesterday, Ming Leyao felt that this matter might not be that simple. Sure enough, the next second, Liu Qiu Shuang's words confirmed her guess.

"I also heard that Doctor Meng approached the captain and asked for a letter of introduction to buy some things in the county in a hurry. The captain quickly gave him the letter of introduction, but halfway through the journey he realized he didn't have any money, so he ran back in a hurry. When he opened the door of the clinic, he saw Fu Wenli in the room, and the room was in a mess. Many medicine bottles were broken. Those medicines were all Western medicines, so they were very expensive. Doctor Meng was furious and beat Fu Wenli up, and then he reported it to the police."

"......"

When Fu Wenli left her house, wasn't it almost noon? Did he run to Doctor Meng's place to steal things right after he got home?

Thinking that Fu Wencheng had not come back the whole afternoon, Ming Leyao had nothing to understand. Fu Wenli had seen someone he shouldn't have seen, so he was naturally going to be silenced. Now it was just right, he would only be locked up for a few months. As long as the Fu family compensated the clinic for the damaged medicines, Fu Wenli would be able to come out.

However, Western medicines are relatively expensive these days. A bottle of anti-inflammatory medicine used for infusion costs three to seven yuan. I don’t know how much the final cost will be. I guess it will take more than a few years to pay off the loss.

Around ten o'clock, Ming Leyao returned home and saw Ming Xiaojiang sitting in the yard playing with the dog. When he saw her, his expression was indescribable...

It seems that this little girl discovered that there was someone hiding in her room?

At this time, the door of the house opened, and Fu Wencheng was wearing a white shirt, green military pants, and had a cold and aloof face. It was hard to believe that this man had passionately confessed his love to her just yesterday.

"Are you back?"

The moment he saw Ming Leyao, his cold and aloof demeanor was immediately replaced by a spring breeze.

The two people were looking at each other from a distance, and Ming Leyao could truly feel the heat radiating from the man.

"Well, I didn't expect Xiao Jiang to come over. I will talk to her about it."

"It's okay, I'll go cook first, you two sisters can chat first."

The man has an aura of two meters, and he is in the small kitchen, with an inexplicable sense of humor.

"Sister, you and him..."

"Xiao Jiang, I haven't figured it out yet, so I can't give you an answer for now."

"Okay, then he..."

"Are you asking why he's here?"

"Well, sister, he is a gay after all. If others find out, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble."

Ming Xiaojiang is sixteen years old, but his face looks mature which does not match his age.

"Silly girl, you should know his identity. He was just injured while performing a mission, and I happened to save him. However, Xiao Jiang, his mission is quite special. We cannot let anyone know who saved him, nor can we let anyone know that he is here. So can you keep it a secret for your sister?"

"Sister, even if you didn't tell me, I would know about this. How could I possibly talk about this kind of thing?"

"What a good kid."

"Oh sister, I'm already so old, if you keep touching my head, I won't grow taller."

“….”

This little girl...

After staying for a while, Ming Xiaojiang left and Ming Leyao went to the kitchen to help.

During lunch, we chatted about what happened this morning.

"You did it?"

"Well, my injuries have all healed. I was worried about Fu Wenli staying here, so I thought of an excuse to have him stay in the police station for a while."

Fu Wenli is a man who has no bottom line and is proud and conceited. Now that he has set his sights on the little girl, he will definitely not give up.

He still had tasks to complete and didn't know when they would be completed. He was indeed a little worried about leaving the little girl alone in the production team.

"Are you..ready to leave?"

"Well..I'll finish the mission as soon as possible and come back to see you."

"I don't know what your mission is, but since you were injured so badly, I think this mission must be very dangerous. You'd better be careful and don't rush."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Fu Wencheng grinned, revealing his white teeth, looking like a man who obeyed his wife's orders, which was disgusting to watch.

At night, when the sky was as dark as ink, Fu Wencheng changed into casual clothes and stood at the door with reluctance in his eyes.

"Yaoyao, what I said to you is always valid. I will wait for you until the day you agree to marry me."

Ming Leyao looked into those serious and pious black eyes and suddenly had the urge to agree to him immediately, but in the end she suppressed it.

Her pink red lips were curled up, her arms were folded, and her fair face became even more beautiful in the dark night.

"Only when you come back alive will you have a chance to talk to me about the future."

"Yes."

Fu Wencheng looked at her deeply, turned back with difficulty, restrained all his emotions, took a step forward and disappeared into the night.

He was afraid that if he hesitated for two seconds, he would not be able to step out of the door tonight.

Until the figure disappeared, Ming Leyao found that she actually felt missing him as soon as he left.

"What a torturer."

Sighing, Ming Leyao went back to her room to sleep, tossing and turning until the early morning.

Ming Leyao got up at noon and lived her life as usual as if nothing had happened. She still taught the children gently and warmly in the afternoon. Only she knew that with the man's departure, some things had changed after all.

Time passed quickly. Fu Wencheng had been gone for more than a month. The old lady of the Ming family was still indomitable in saving her son. Ming Yuehe's life in the Jia family was still so difficult. The days without anyone disturbing her were so beautiful. The only thing was that she missed him more and more in the dead of night, which made Ming Leyao realize that she had someone she liked in this era.

In mid-October, Shangjiaqiao Brigade welcomed the days of double harvest. The children in the school were on holiday to help in the fields. Ming Leyao also followed everyone to the threshing ground fully armed, rubbing corn cobs and listening to the aunts next to her gossiping about other people's affairs. Occasionally, the loudspeaker would play inspiring songs.

What a busy and lively harvest scene.

Everyone looked at the golden grains and felt hopeful about life. Even though the double harvest season was harder and more tiring than usual, they had no complaints and faced life positively and enthusiastically, which made Ming Leyao feel the simplicity unique to this era.
