Chapter 140 Arriving at Shangyang Village
Chen Shuyun said as she walked.
"We've had electricity for about two years now, but there are frequent power outages. Every household has candles, and some older families use kerosene lamps. My mother's family is using kerosene lamps now."
Gu Jinghong had heard from Su Ying before that there were many people with the surname Chen in this village, and Chen Shuyun's parents also lived in the village, but it was quite far away from her home.
"Not far, not far."
Chen Shuyun glanced at Su Ying, put the hood on the back of her down jacket on her, and quickened her pace.
Cars couldn't go through this section of road, so they had to walk.
Maybe their talking scared someone's dog, and the dog started barking non-stop.
"Hey, is this Shuyun here?"
A flashlight shone over, and when the middle-aged women saw Chen Shuyun, they were all surprised and hurried towards them.
"Oh, it's really Shuyun. Did you just arrive?"
These people secretly looked at Su Ying and Gu Jinghong, especially Gu Jinghong, who was sitting in a wheelchair, had a strong aura and was good-looking.
Of course, the women in the village didn't care much about his appearance. What they cared about was that the man was in a wheelchair and was disabled.
"Yes, we just got off the car. Are you guys going to play cards? Did you leave so early?"
The women all sighed.
"You're not leaving after losing? That's going to be a hole."
Chen Shuyun briefly spoke to them and then left with Su Ying and the others.
But before they had gone far, Su Ying heard the women behind them talking about them.
"Didn't Chen Shuyun say she was going to the city to see Su Ying? Now that Su Ying is here, she might be cured, but why did she bring two men with her? And did you see? That man is disabled."
"I heard that she went to the city to look for her man from the city. Why didn't her man come with her?"
…
These women had very loud voices, and they didn't seem afraid of being heard by Su Ying and the others, as they were discussing heatedly.
Chen Shuyun acted as if she didn't hear anything and immediately brought Su Ying and the others to her doorstep.
She said as she took out the key and opened the door.
"Don't pay attention to what they say. It's winter and there's nothing much to do. Women just sit together to have fun and gossip about other people's affairs."
Su Ying gently pinched Gu Jinghong's shoulder.
She had wanted to confront those women. What's wrong with being disabled? Did the disabled eat your rice? They were pointing fingers at others.
But seeing Chen Shuyun walking so fast, she didn't go over.
As I entered the yard, I heard a series of cackling sounds.
Chen Shuyun was stunned for a moment, and hurried to the chicken coop to look. Although it was pitch black and she couldn't see clearly, she could vaguely see that there were chickens in the coop.
And it seems like a few more of them ran out.
"They must have just come to their nest, otherwise they would be fast asleep by now and wouldn't come out."
Du Feng said.
Su Ying and Gu Jinghong both looked at him.
Du Feng scratched his head and chuckled.
"I used to raise a few chickens in the army and ate a lot of eggs. I know the habits of chickens."
While Su Ying and the other three were talking, Chen Shuyun looked at the chicken with a distressed face that wrinkled into a ball.
"What are you doing?"
Su Ying was puzzled.
Chen Shuyun quickly turned around and opened the door.
Because no one had lived there for a long time, there was a chill as soon as she entered. Su Ying even felt that it was colder than outside.
Chen Shuyun found the light cord and turned on the light.
In an instant, the darkness was dispelled and the room was lit up.
Su Ying breathed a sigh of relief. Brightness really makes people feel better. She felt like her whole body was relaxed.
Chen Shuyun swept the bed and asked Su Ying and the others to put down their things and sit down to rest for a while.
She went to the yard to fetch wood for the fire.
After the firewood in the brazier started burning, Su Ying and the others sat around the brazier, and only then did they feel their bodies slowly warming up.
"Commander, let me feel you to see if you are cold. I will warm your hands."
Su Ying went to hold Gu Jinghong's hand, but felt warmth.
Chief Gu's hands were very warm. After Su Ying stretched out her hand, he wrapped Su Ying's hand in his big hand.
"Is it cold? I think it's quite cold."
Chief Gu was not lying. Compared to the north, he really didn't feel this kind of cold was a big deal.
Du Feng had a similar feeling. No matter how low the temperature is in the south, it is just below zero. At this temperature, water will not freeze even if poured outside. How can it be cold?
But Su Ying and Chen Shuyun felt unbearable cold, the damp cold, as if ice water was penetrating into their bones.
After Chen Shuyun's hands warmed up, she quickly found a broom to sweep the floor, a rag to wipe the house, changed the sheets, and found a quilt. She was very busy by herself.
Su Ying pulled her hand out.
"I'm not cold anymore. I'll go help my mom clean up. I'll make a bed for you first. You can go to bed and rest for a while."
