Lu Dashan's words served as a reminder to him that it was reasonable for him to ask.
The three people in the room were silent.
The atmosphere became a little tense.
Lu Manyue thought that Wei Dingbang was hit by her father, so she thought about it and began to comfort him: "It's okay, if you don't know how to farm, we can learn slowly. If you really can't do it, I will go to help after get off work every day."
Wei Dingbang looked at Lu Manyue's slender white fingers and shook his head. "Don't worry about it. I will take care of it."
Lu Dashan snorted, "I hope this time it's not just talk, but actual action."
According to custom, the visit to parents' parents' home ended yesterday, and Lu Manyue should have returned to the countryside with Wei Dingbang.
Now that they have been delayed for a day, Lu Dashan has injured his knee again. Li Fen has not been seen since she first ran into the workshop and made sarcastic remarks to Lu Manyue. It is impossible to expect her to take care of Lu Dashan.
Lu Manyue was in a dilemma as to whether or not to move back to the countryside.
If you don't go back, the land will become waste.
If I go back, who will take care of dad?
"It's too far to go from the countryside to the city to work, and it's not convenient to go back and forth. Man Yue might as well stay at home. Wei Dingbang, you go back to the countryside and live for a while, and then come to pick her up when Man Yue is on vacation." Lu Dashan suggested.
Wei Dingbang shook his head, his eyes full of rejection.
"I pick up and drop off Man Yue every day, and Man Yue lives with me."
"Then who will take care of me?" Lu Dashan asked with his eyes wide open.
"I will come to take care of you after Man Yue arrives. I will cook for you in the evening before I leave." Wei Dingbang said.
"Then isn't it just a waste of time for you to run around? You might as well just live here." Lu Dashan said with a roll of his eyes.
"It's different. During the day, Man Yue goes to work and I take care of you. At night, when Man Yue falls asleep, I can go to do farm work. This way I can do both."
"You might as well let Man Yue stop tossing around and just live with me in the city. You can go back to the countryside and work during the day without being so tired."
Wei Dingbang snorted, "Then I will sleep alone even if I marry a wife. Why should I?"
Lu Dashan knew that his old son-in-law was a shameless man who could say anything, but he was still a little at a loss after hearing this.
Thinking about it carefully, Wei Dingbang was right again.
The couple is married, and it is really not good for them to live separately like this.
Lu Dashan looked conflicted.
Wei Dingbang made the final decision, "Let's do this. When the full moon is at the steel plant during the day, I will be here too. If someone comes to bully her again, I can get there quickly. If I lived in the countryside, you two would probably just wait to be bullied to death."
Lu Dashan felt that this was indeed reasonable.
When it comes to fighting and being ruthless, ten Man Yues plus ten Lu Dashans are no match for Wei Dingbang.
"Then you should be more restrained next time, otherwise we won't be able to afford just the compensation for the medicine." Lu Dashan warned Wei Dingbang.
Wei Dingbang hummed.
Since the rice, flour, grain, cigarettes, alcohol and tea were all given by his comrades, Lu Dashan did not have such a heavy psychological burden. Before, he was afraid that they came from illegal sources, so he did not dare to touch them at all. Now, he smiled and ordered Lu Manyue to move the wine and cigarettes to his room.
"Hey, be gentle, be gentle, I heard this wine is expensive, don't beat me.
And these cigarettes, they cost more than one yuan a pack, hide them in the cupboard, don't let your mother give them all to her brother." After Lu Dashan finished speaking, he remembered that he and Li Fen had already fallen out and were about to divorce, and he sighed again.
After Wei Dingbang put all his things in place, he searched the cabinet again but couldn't find any usable medicine.
Looking at Lu Manyue's face that was covered with blisters after a day of work, and the wound on his calf that had just healed burst open, he felt his pocket and found nothing left except a dozen remittance slips.
If I had known earlier, I would have sent less and kept some money in my hand.
I used to scoff at the news that a penny could make a hero fail.
When it finally happened to him, he realized that there was some truth to it.
Money is really indispensable.
Lu Manyue endured being bullied in silence in order to keep her job and earn that salary, wasn't it just because she had no money?
There are also some hills near the steel plant. Hemostatic herbs usually grow in the shady places on the hills. Wei Dingbang picked up a small sickle and went to the nearest hill to dig herbs.
Not long after he left, Lu Dashan looked left and right, turned over the mat, fumbled in the straw for a long time, and took out a red cloth bag.
"Come here, take it."
When Lu Manyue poured out the contents of the bag and took a look, her eyes widened.
A rusty tin frog. She saw a classmate have one in elementary school and she also wanted one, so she mentioned it to Lu Dashan once.
Li Fen said that she was not full and wanted frogs, so he turned around and beat Lu Dashan on his back, and even pinched the skin on her legs.
It was the middle of summer, and the wound festered as soon as it came into contact with water. However, Li Fen was afraid of being discovered by Lu Dashan, so he forced her to take a bath and refused to treat the wound.
Later, the meat in that area had rotted and was cut off by Li Fen with a knife that had been used to roast it in the stove.
So, there was a piece of flesh missing from her leg and an extra hole.
She wanted to complain to Lu Dashan, but Li Fen was staring at her all the time.
Once, she mentioned the word "pinching", and Li Fen beat her even harder.
After that, her legs never got hurt again.
After that, she no longer dared to ask for anything.
Lu Dashan pressed the tin frog's foot and it jumped on the bed. "Look, I actually bought the frog you wanted more than ten years ago, but I was afraid your mother would complain, so I never took it out.
And this, the spring butterfly, was quite expensive when I bought it. I had to endure not smoking for three months before I could save enough money to buy it.
