At around ten o'clock in the evening, Qin Shouguo came back smelling of alcohol. He was obviously drunk, his eyes were blurry, and he was a little talkative.
"Don't worry about us." He said with a big tongue, "We can take care of ourselves. Have you eaten?"
Li Fei died of drunkenness in the yard, and it was Qin Shouguo who carried him back.
In the kitchen, Lin Zhengran fetched water for them to take a bath. Li Fei vomited all over himself, so he had to wash himself. Besides, there was Duobao!
The kitchen was not big, and there were only two of them. If someone as big as him squeezed in, it would be difficult for them to even turn around. Qin Shouguo followed them up and down, looking very worried.
"I've eaten." After saying that, she gestured to Qin Shouguo to take the water out.
When Lin Zhengran got them soap and went to the bathroom with water, the three men came out. With one bucket of water and three men, Qin Shouguo finished everything at once.
“…Is that all!?”
Lin Zhengran saw him with his upper body wet and naked, holding Li Fei in his hand. Duobao was standing beside him, also with his upper body naked, wiping the water droplets with a towel.
"Sister-in-law, just take a quick shower. Men are rough, unlike women who can take a long time to take a shower."
Ye Zi was standing by, covering her mouth with her hands, feeling nauseous and vomiting from time to time.
Lin Zhengran said: Ask them to go out and get a room to sleep in tonight.
But Qin Shouguo threw Li Fei on the table in the yard, turned around and went in to move out another table. The two tables were put together to make a bed.
Ye Zi nodded repeatedly beside him, saying that this would save a lot of money.
Qin Shouguo leaned against the wall and gasped for breath. "Who knows, Li Fei might get up and vomit in the middle of the night. So let it be."
"What about you? Where are you sleeping tonight?" Lin Zhengran asked him.
He? He's even simpler.
He moved a bench from the house and placed it under the eaves. "I'll sleep here. I'll keep an eye on Li Fei tonight. I'm afraid no one will take care of him when he wakes up."
After saying that, he waved his hand uncomfortably, "You guys go in and sleep, I want to sleep too."
Ye Zi felt like vomiting when she smelled the odor on them and was eager to leave, but after hearing what her eldest brother said, she turned around and ran away.
Lin Zhengran didn't believe that he could sleep like this, so he went to the kitchen to get a bowl of hangover soup. When he left, he heard his younger sister tell him that Xiaoman wanted a radio.
Qin Shouguo put on his clothes and immediately said, "Brother will go buy them tomorrow, you should go to bed now."
Qin Xiaomei nodded and ran away happily. Lin Zhengran handed him the soup, and he took it and drank it without asking any questions.
When he handed the bowl to her again, he accidentally touched her fingertips. Lin Zhengran didn't feel anything and turned away.
He stayed where he was, staring at the back in a daze. Qin Shouguo rubbed his thumb, then suddenly sat down and smiled.
Just when I was about to lie down, Duobao came out, bringing Lin Zhengran with him.
She held two quilts in her hands, gave him one, and covered Li Fei with the other. Lin Zhengran said helplessly:
"Duobao insists on sleeping with you. How can he fit in here? I told him off, but he refused to listen." The implication is that you should refuse him on my behalf.
Qin Shouguo took Duobao in his arms and said with a smile, "Then Duobao, sleep here with your uncle."
"How can I sleep like this!" Lin Zhengran glanced at the bench under his butt. It was barely big enough for half of his body to rest on it.
Duobao tugged at his uncle's clothes, unwilling to leave, so Qin Shouguo said, "Why not?"
After saying that, he lay down on the bench with Duobao on his chest. It was the first time Duobao was hugged like this, and he felt very fresh.
"You'll feel uncomfortable tomorrow if you continue like this," she said.
Qin Shouguo said nothing and closed his eyes.
Seeing this, Duobao quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be stupid and snored.
"I don't care about you guys anymore."
Lin Zhengran said so, but he pulled the quilt over them before entering the house.
The next day, before dawn, one could hear the sounds of pots and pans preparing breakfast in every household, and the sounds of car bells and people going to work on the road outside.
Lin Nanfeng had never heard such a fireworks-like sound before.
She was awakened by the noises, but lay motionless in bed.
Her house was ransacked in her previous life, and afterwards she and her mother kept a very low profile, never interacting with or talking to anyone.
Staying away from people and talking less is the only way for them to protect themselves.
After her mother died, she became more low-key and never went out except for working to take out manure every day.
She was rehabilitated before the reform and opening up. By then, she had already become disappointed with human nature and had long since distanced herself from human beings.
So this morning was the first time she had ever heard such a scene in her life. Lin Nanfeng was lying in bed and couldn't help but imagine what the owner of this sound was doing at the moment.
This era does not tolerate lazy people, so Qin Shouguo and the others all got up early to pack their things.
He said, "My comrade-in-arms came to dinner today to get to know his family and also wanted to meet you. I'll prepare the food, just for dinner."
Lin Zhengran didn't understand why his comrade wanted to see her, but she agreed anyway and turned around to urge Li Fei to take Ye Zi to the hospital.
During those days, Gan set her house on fire. She was very emotional and had bleeding. Everyone was worried, so they asked her to be taken for a check-up.
As soon as Mr. and Mrs. Li Fei left the house, Qin Xiaomei urged Qin Shouguo to buy a radio. She was impatient and kept up with the pace, not wanting to be late at all.
Seeing this, Duobao also insisted on going out with him. Lin Zhengran said that they could go out for breakfast together. Lin Nanfeng was the only one left in the family who hadn't gotten up yet. Seeing that his daughter had finally gotten up a little later, Lin Zhengran didn't call her.
So Lin Nanfeng took another nap, and when he woke up it was already past nine o'clock.
Watching her mother busying around while eating breakfast, what used to be a simple daily routine for others, later became something she had never even dared to dream of in her previous life.
"Don't go out these few days. Stay at home and recover from your injuries."
Lin Zhengran said this to his daughter in the kitchen, and seemed to be still worried about her, sticking his head out and staring at her.
Lin Nanfeng nodded. Her foot was injured and she couldn't go out. Why did her mother specifically remind her?
Qin Shouguo was fiddling with the radio he had bought at the table, while Duobao and Qin Xiaomei were watching. After hearing what their mother said, Duobao leaned over to her sister's ear and said,
"There are people fighting outside. They spit, hit people with stones, and embarrass people with Chou Chou." After saying this, Duobao covered his nose.
Lin Nanfeng instantly understood why his mother said that. This was the beginning of the movement. They probably started around this time in their previous life.
"I'm out and about every day. Nanfeng, tell me what you want to buy."
Qin Xiaomei also hurriedly said: "Sister Xiaoman, think about what you want. My brother will make money and buy it for you."
"I want it too." Duobao ran to Qin Shouguo again to show his presence.
Everyone was talking when the radio suddenly made a rustling sound and soon a voice came out of it.
Qin Xiaomei went up to touch things here and there in surprise, and Qin Shouguo also stepped back from the table.
"Don't worry, I'm here for you." Qin Shouguo said to Lin Zhengran at the kitchen door.
"I'm not worried," Lin Zhengran glanced at his children and said solemnly, "I'm just glad I left early, otherwise..."
Otherwise, what happened to others today will be what happened to her and her child tomorrow.
