Shen Qingli and her mother went to the team leader Shen Pingqiu's house to borrow a cart.
"Xiu Fen and Xiao Li are here!" Pan Guilan, the captain's wife, warmly invited Shen Qingli and Zhao Xiu Fen into the house. "Come in and sit down. I'll pour you some brown sugar water."
"Aunt Guilan, please stop busying yourself. I came here today to ask you for a favor." Zhao Xiufen said embarrassedly.
"Just tell me what it is, as long as I can do it." Pan Guilan said, patting her chest.
She really wanted to help this poor niece-in-law who was almost five generations away from her father-in-law.
All the male laborers in the family are disabled. Xiaoli, a girl who came from Beijing and grew up in the city, can't do any farm work. Xiufen is the only laborer left in the family.
It’s painful for a woman to think about supporting a family of six.
"Auntie, I just want to borrow your cart."
Seeing that Pan Guilan was so easy to talk to, Zhao Xiufen felt relieved.
"We just separated from our family, and we're short of everything. We need to go to the commune to buy some things. Xiaoli can't carry it all by herself, so I want her to pull the cart with Xiaoxuan and Ayang. It's okay to go slower, at least we won't be too tired, and we can also buy more things at once."
Pan Guilan nodded and said, "That's right. The cart is in the backyard. I'll have my daughter-in-law push it to the door for you."
"Thank you, thank you so much, Aunt Guilan." Zhao Xiufen said gratefully.
Seeing this, Shen Qingli quickly thanked her: "Thank you, Grandma Guilan. I will send it back to you immediately after I use it."
"Don't worry, I'll ask your uncle to stop by your house and bring it back." Pan Guilan said with a smile.
"Then, auntie, we won't bother you anymore." Zhao Xiufen saw the captain's daughters-in-law starting to carry food into the main room, and hurriedly said goodbye.
"Okay, I'll ask my daughter-in-law to pull the cart over to you." After saying this, Pan Guilan turned around and instructed her daughter-in-law.
Not long after, the captain's daughter-in-law pushed the cart over from the backyard.
"Auntie, let me do it, thank you." Shen Qingli politely took the cart from the captain's daughter-in-law.
······
The mother and daughter pulled the cart all the way back.
Shen Qingli was still in a hurry to go back and get boiled eggs for her father and elder brother!
They entered the mountains early in the morning and did not have breakfast.
Shen Qingli was not worried about their safety because the 98K was there.
Zhao Xiufen was also anxious, fearing that her husband and son would be hungry, so she couldn't help but quicken her pace.
"Ouch, someone's been killed!"
