Pei Xinghe stopped talking when he saw Pei Weidong come out, and helped close the door before leaving.
Pei Xinghe did not go home but went to school. The three classrooms had been cleaned up and the desks and chairs were in place. Classes would start in a few days.
"Brother Xinghe, the bullpen is in front, what are you doing?"
Pei Weidong was completely bewildered. His cousin was a very clean man who never went to the cowshed year-round. What was wrong with him today? Was he trying to vent his anger on someone in the cowshed?
Didn’t he say that the people in the cowshed were already very pitiful and might not even survive the winter. Wouldn’t it be a bad idea to take it out on them?
"Brother Xinghe, if you want to vent your anger, just scold me a few times, okay?"
Pei Xinghe: ...
"Why should I vent my anger? Go find some people to repair the cowshed and move the bricks left over from the house construction to build two more rooms."
Pei Xinghe glared at his cousin. Is stupidity contagious? Ever since his cousin got together with Su Xue, he has been full of stupidity.
"Build a house, you want to build a cowshed? No, what's wrong with Brother Xinghe? Is this house built casually?"
Pei Weidong was dumbfounded. He had followed Pei Xinghe in delivering food to the people in the cowshed, but building a house in the cowshed, was he crazy?
"Do I look like a fool?"
Pei Xinghe was so angry that he wanted to kick someone. Even if he guessed that it was Gu Qingmeng's family who were sent down this time and wanted to help, he would not be so crazy as to build a house for them!
"Little Grandpa said he wanted to live in the cowshed to watch over the bad guys, and the house is for Little Grandpa to live in."
Build two rooms, and as for how to live in them and who will live in them, is it up to the little grandfather to decide?
Unlike Pei Xinghe and the others who were noisy, Gu Qingmeng and the others were very quiet. After returning home, they began to pack various medicines, antibiotics, antipyretics, disinfectants, and some medicines for treating external injuries. Then the four of them divided the work clearly and began to prepare some food.
I don’t know how long it has been since grandpa and the others had a full meal. If they could drink a sip of hot soup, their stomachs would definitely feel better!
"Guodong, go kill a chicken and we'll make some chicken soup."
Gu Qingmeng planned to make some chicken noodle soup, which was hot and easy to digest. Grandpa and Dad were still wearing summer clothes. Peijiagou was surrounded by mountains and the temperature was a bit low, so they needed to wear coats in the morning and evening.
Prepare clothes, quilts, and cotton-padded clothes!
"Sister, Grandpa and Dad will be fine, right?"
Gu Guoliang was terrified when he saw his grandfather and father. He desperately wanted an answer, a positive one! Something to support him in moving forward, even if it meant deceiving himself.
"Yes, it will be fine! With my sister here, I will make sure they are fine!"
Gu Qingmeng's voice was resounding and very firm! She knew that what happened today had frightened them. After all, they were still two twelve-year-old boys!
"Don't worry, your sister and I are here. We will definitely redress your grandfather and father! Just hold on for a few years and you'll be fine."
Su Xue combined what Gu Qingmeng had told her before, and looking at the expressions of the three siblings, she knew what was going on. The people on the ox cart today were her best friend's family.
Unexpectedly, the old man Pei Heixiong was quite powerful. He easily dealt with the group of children wearing red armbands.
The four of them ate noodles with soybean paste in the evening. As it got dark, Gu Qingmeng cooked a pot of eggs until it was completely dark! Four sneaky figures walked towards the cowshed.
Gu Qingmeng carried a big bag, Gu Guodong carried a basket, Gu Guoliang held a bowl of noodles, and Su Xue held a flashlight. They walked with their heads down.
Fortunately, few people in the village kept dogs. How could they afford to feed a dog when they could barely get enough to eat? So they wanted a guard dog, so they got a retired military dog.
Several people walked along the path by the river, but did not walk on the bridge. Their shoes were wet in a short while, with one foot deep and one foot shallow. The cowshed was just opposite their house, separated by the village bridge. The cowshed was not far from the school.
The four of them walked to the cowshed. Su Xue stayed outside to keep watch while the three siblings went in to look for someone.
"who?"
The people in the cowshed were very alert. When they heard the noise, someone came out with a torch. Gu Huaian kicked his son Gu Jun and asked him to go out to meet people.
"us."
Gu Qingmeng walked in first with a flashlight, followed closely by her two brothers. The cowshed was low, and with her height, she had to bow her head slightly to enter! Not to mention her father who was over 1.8 meters tall, he couldn't even straighten his back inside.
There was not even a bed in the cowshed, let alone a kang for heating. There were only two large straw stacks and no bedding.
Several old men in tattered clothes were huddled up there, and one of them was coughing nervously as if he was going to cough out his lungs.
"Girl, why are you here? Given our friendship, you don't need to take such risks. Just be obedient and go back quickly."
Dean Lu waited for Gu Huaian and the others to speak before he spoke first. He stood up excitedly and reached out to pull Gu Qingmeng and the others out.
Gu Qingmeng: ...
To be honest, she had forgotten about Dean Lu.
How could Gu Jun bear to see the old man pulling his precious daughter? He moved sideways to block Gu Qingmeng.
"Grandpa, I'm here to see you."
Gu Qingmeng's voice was choked with sobs. She walked a few steps to the haystack, wanting to hug this old man who looked exactly like her grandfather, no, this was her grandfather now.
"Good boy."
Gu Huaian hadn't spoken for a long time. His voice was hoarse, but full of excitement and anxiety.
"I knew you were coming, but you shouldn't have come. Go quickly and don't let anyone see you." Gu Huaian was excited but also a little flustered. He also wanted to pull his granddaughter out, but he didn't have the strength. After all this trouble these days, he was afraid that his old bones would not live long.
"No one saw it. Someone help me keep watch outside. Grandpa, let me apply medicine on you first." Gu Qingmeng quickly treated the wounds on Gu Huaian's body. The wound on his head looked scary, but it had actually scabbed over. The old wound on his leg had relapsed and needed to be treated, but it was impossible to treat the leg injury in this environment.
"Grandpa, don't worry, we will take care of you in the future."
Gu Guodong wanted to ask about his father and mother, but knew that now was not the time to talk, so he put down the basket and took out a wooden bowl to serve chicken soup to the elderly people.
"Grandpa, we will take care of you and dad from now on."
Gu Guoliang put down the basin in his hand and helped his brother divide the chicken soup and serve the noodles.
Seeing that no one in the cowshed had touched the chicken noodle soup except Dean Lu, Gu Qingmeng glanced at the elderly people and said, "I brought a lot of food. Everyone, please eat some. I also have medicine. If you need it, come and get it. You can only make it to the house after you are well."
Perhaps the word "home" had infected the other two elderly people! Soon the sound of slurping noodles could be heard from the cowshed.
Gu Huaian felt much better after eating. He looked at the people in the cowshed and said calmly, "This is my family's descendant. They are all filial. When you see them in the village in the future, just pretend you don't know them. Otherwise, don't blame us father and son for being heartless."
His tone was flat and cold, obviously threatening them. If they were obedient, he and his son would not eat alone when there was something to eat, otherwise don't blame them for killing them.
Protecting the little ones is more important to them than anything else now.
