When I met the old lady on the way, I immediately told her all the news I had learned from Dr. Wang.
Knowing that her sister was busy looking for someone, Li Qiao knew that she would not be able to take care of herself at the moment, so she had to go back.
As she reached the gate of the courtyard, she saw Chen Xiaoxiao still kneeling. She sighed helplessly and signaled Shu Miao to help her up.
She limped into the house. She had to clean up the house quickly, otherwise it would be more difficult to clean up after dark.
As for this troublesome child, he should be taught a lesson, otherwise he might cause trouble in the future. But she shouldn't be the one to scold this child.
When Shu Miao saw the old lady leaving without looking back, he instantly understood what she meant.
He squatted down beside Chen Xiaoxiao, looked at her eyelids that were swollen like goldfish eyes, and said bluntly,
"There's something seriously wrong with that kid."
Hearing this, Chen Xiaoxiao suddenly raised her head, her face full of shock and sadness, "What, what disease?"
Shu Miao: "..."
Forget it, forget it. If she was really smart, she wouldn't have picked up a child secretly, right?
"It might be a heart problem."
"That is..." Chen Xiaoxiao was about to ask, but was interrupted by Shu Miao in time.
"It doesn't matter what disease it is. What matters is that since you picked up this child, shouldn't you go back and help take care of the child now?"
When Chen Xiaoxiao heard her say that the illness was not important, tears welled up in her eyes again, and she wanted to accuse her of being so cruel.
But after she said the second half of the sentence, she opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything, and immediately struggled to get up.
Shu Miao reached out his hand to pull her, but she dodged it directly.
Seeing this, Shu Miao raised his eyebrows, calmly withdrew his hand, ignored her, and turned to turn the corn cob over.
After Chen Xiaoxiao stood up with difficulty, she limped and stumbled away.
Zili, who had been hiding behind the kitchen door and peeking, immediately poked his head out, gave her a thumbs-up, and silently uttered two words:
sharp!
God knows, he just tried to persuade Chen Xiaoxiao for a long time, but she just cried even harder.
In just a few minutes, he almost pulled his hair out.
It clearly means the same thing, but when my sister says it, the effect is completely different. It's so strange!
————
Night fell in the blink of an eye, and there was still no news.
Li Qiao was really worried, so she asked Zili to go to Chen's house to find out what was going on.
Finally, we learned that the team leader had sent people to the commune along the way, but Qin Cuifang was unable to leave at the moment, so she did not come.
It was not until the next day that we learned that the members of Yueerwan had just reported the situation to the commune and it was considered a repeat of the old trick.
Not only were they severely criticized, but even worse, they sent militiamen to "escort" the people from the Yueerwan Brigade back. I heard that they are now planning to send people to stay in Yueerwan to monitor production.
In other words, in the end, the child ended up in Chen Xiaoxiao's home.
As for the child's illness, everyone tacitly agreed not to mention it again.
She only ensured the child's food, drink, defecation and urination, and it all depended on whether she could survive.
Apart from that, it’s the Shu family’s own business.
Li Qiao has found an opportunity to find out the value of this courtyard from the team leader.
Taking into account the sisters' personalities, she simply bypassed the couple and wrote an IOU under the auspices of the team leader, who then came forward to negotiate.
So now the courtyard and the homestead are all under Li Qiao's name, but the debt is even higher.
I can only agree with the saying that too many lice won’t make you itch, after all, we still have to live our lives.
After several days of rest, Li Qiao could no longer suppress her worries and prepared to go to the commune to see her eldest son and bring some food with her.
In order to go to the commune this time, Shu Miao even lost face and cooperated with Zi Li.
One of them held onto the thigh, the other held onto the bag of food, and they insisted on going with him.
This move by the two really made Li Qiao laugh and cry. In the end, she couldn't persuade them anymore and had to take them along.
Seeing that their plan had succeeded, the two men smiled at each other, and quickly divided half of the sack of grain into two pieces, with each carrying half.
As the three of them boarded the oxcart heading to the commune, Shu Miao could no longer suppress the hidden anticipation in his heart.
But when she saw the scenery of the commune, she couldn't help but feel disappointed.
At first glance, it is still brick and tile houses with unique characteristics of the times, occasionally interspersed with low brick and wood structure bungalows and adobe houses.
The only two-story building is the Revolutionary Committee office building. Buildings like the health center, supply and marketing cooperative, and school are just larger in size, and don’t feel much different from those in the brigade.
Red Star Commune Middle School,
Shu Miao refused to go into school with the mother and son. She squatted alone at the school gate, looking at the occasional bicycles passing by with a confused look on her face.
She seemed to be taking things for granted. Where could she get the money in this situation?
Just as she was filled with disappointment, a disheveled woman came and stood in front of her.
Shu Miao took two steps back with a vigilant look on his face, ready to rush into the school to ask for help at any time.
The woman seemed not to notice her movements. She glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention to her. She lowered her voice and asked,
"Hello, young comrade. Do you know how to get to Yue'er Bay?"
