Ye Qinggang had no choice but to roll up his sleeves and start washing dishes and cleaning the kitchen.
After getting two more bowls and a plate, Ye Qinggang finally cleaned up the kitchen.
He walked out of the kitchen, pounding his aching lower back and looking at the starry sky. At this moment, he really began to miss his wife.
Ye Qinggang couldn't imagine for a moment how Mrs. Lu managed to take care of the food, clothing, and shelter of the whole family and keep the house clean and tidy every day.
He felt sore all over and was even more tired than after a day of working in the fields.
After returning to the house from the kitchen, Ye Qing was just thinking that he could finally go to sleep when his youngest son started crying again, asking for his mother.
Ye Qinggang patiently coaxed his little son a few times, but he still kept crying.
"Cry, cry, cry, all you do is cry. I told you your mother isn't home, where can I find her for you?
"Either you go back to your room and sleep, or I'll kick you out and let you go find your mother on your own!"
The younger son was so frightened by him that he held back his tears and began to hiccup uncontrollably.
His mother heard him scolding the child in the inner room and kept yelling anxiously, "You pissed your wife off and you still have the nerve to scold the child.
"You have a good life but you have to make it like this. I think you just want to piss me and your father off to death!
"We two are useless. How could we possibly meet a good daughter-in-law, but she would be driven away by a bastard like you?
"What sins did I commit in my previous life that I have to suffer this kind of misfortune in my old age?
"It would be better if we just died early..."
Ye Qinggang frowned and said to his eldest son, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and take your brother back to the room to sleep."
The eldest son quickly pulled his younger brother back into the house.
Ye Qinggang stood up, took a deep breath, went to the west room and finally calmed his mother down. He collected urine for both elders and put them to bed. Then he walked out with heavy steps and returned to the east room.
Two quilts at home were soiled at once, so there was no bedding for him to sleep on tonight.
Looking at his two sons who were already asleep, Ye Qinggang decided to just spend the night in the clothes on.
After lying down, he always felt as if he had forgotten something.
But he was really tired during the day. Although he didn't feel very comfortable, he fell asleep the moment his head touched the pillow, snoring loudly.
Early the next morning, Ye Qinggang was awakened by his son's crying again.
He turned over in a daze, mumbling, "What's the point of crying so early in the morning? If you want to cry, get out and cry!"
Then I heard my eldest son say cautiously, "Dad, my little brother wet the bed again."
Hearing the words "bedwetting", Ye Qinggang woke up with a start and finally remembered what he had always thought he had forgotten before going to bed last night.
I forgot to get up and change my little son’s diaper in the middle of the night!
As soon as Ye Qing got up, he looked at the mattress that was wet with urine again and felt like crying.
I didn't wash it yesterday and it's still wet today...
When Ye Qinggang thought of the bedding he had washed yesterday, he immediately lost all sleepiness. He quickly got up, cleaned and dressed his youngest son, and then ran to the west room to help the two elders.
Fortunately, we arrived in time today and the bedding of the two elders was saved.
He had just come back from emptying his poop and urine when his eldest son came to ask, "Dad, what are we having for breakfast?"
Ye Qinggang was a little overwhelmed at that moment. He squatted on the ground with his head in his hands and asked his son after a while: "Do you miss your mother?"
"Yes!" The eldest son, although he had been holding back his tears, choked up a bit when he spoke. "Dad, when will Mom come back?"
Ye Qinggang stood up suddenly, put his hand on his eldest son's shoulder and said, "Dad wants to go and get your mom back, but grandpa and grandma need someone by their side.
"If you can take good care of your brother during the day and help me look after my grandparents, I can go get your mother back, okay?"
"Okay!" The eldest son immediately agreed when he heard that he was going to pick up Mrs. Lu, but then he said, "Dad, can you make lunch before you leave? I can't cook, and Mom won't let me touch the fire."
Ye Qinggang thought, let alone lunch, I don’t even know what to do for breakfast today!
The main thing is that the village is not like the city, and there are places where you can buy food.
The village is so small that every family cooks and eats for themselves. You can't even buy food with money, and people will point fingers at you behind your back and say that you don't know how to live.
Ye Qinggang thought for a long time and said, "Don't worry about it. Dad will find a solution."
The last solution he came up with was to ask for help from the Ye family next door.
Ye Qinggang went over and knocked on the gate. Seeing Sister Ye, who was wearing an apron, opening the door, he scratched his head a little embarrassedly and greeted her, "Sister-in-law, are you cooking?"
"Yeah, Brother Qinggang, have you eaten yet? If not, come in and have some together."
Ye Qinggang quickly waved his hand and said, "No thanks, sister-in-law, I just..."
Although he had been planning for a long time before knocking on the door, Ye Qinggang was still a little embarrassed to speak after seeing Mrs. Ye.
Seeing his embarrassment, Sister Ye took the initiative to ask, "Brother Qinggang, we live next door to each other. If you have any problems, just tell me directly. If I can help you, I won't hesitate to help you, right?"
"Hey, sister-in-law, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. We had a few arguments before, and my wife got angry and ran back to her parents' home.
"I thought I had to go and get her back home quickly, but there were so many old and young people at home that I couldn't get away.
"I came here today to ask my sister-in-law if she could bring some food to my elderly and children at noon so that I can go and pick up my wife.
"To be honest, the family really can't do without her!"
