Chapter 42 Returning Home (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
"Mom, if we raise fish, shrimp, and crabs here, they'll definitely grow big and fat." Mentioning this made Xu Qingmo's mouth water.
Wang Jing nodded, "Of course, I remember there's a river near the family compound. We can go there to catch fish and shrimp when we have time."
"The family compound is so nice, I want to go there now."
"We'll set off tomorrow," Wang Jing said with a smile.
Xu Qingmo was overjoyed; she was now filled with curiosity and longing for the family compound.
The land in the space was fertile and very easy to plant. Before long, the mother and daughter had planted the seeds and fruit trees they bought in the black market.
There are still some seeds left in the cabin. The cabin is a good storage solution, so there's no need to worry about the seeds spoiling.
After finishing everything, the mother and daughter left the space.
Shen Jiang's voice came from outside. He seemed to be worried about the mother and daughter, so he went out to look for them.
Wang Jing led Xu Qingmo out of the alley.
“We’re over here,” Wang Jing replied to Shen Jiang.
Upon hearing the noise, Shen Jiang immediately came over, embraced Xu Qingmo, and took Wang Jing's hand with his other hand as they walked back.
"It's getting late, let's go back quickly," Shen Jiang said.
I need to leave early tomorrow, so I need to go to bed early tonight.
"Okay," Wang Jing agreed with a smile.
Xu Qingmo looked at Wang Jing, then at Shen Jiang, and asked, "Is there a small room for me in the family compound?"
Wang Jing understood what she meant and felt a little disappointed. "Yes, there is, but Momo is so young, it's more suitable for her to sleep with me."
"I don't want to. I want to sleep in a small room by myself. I'm a big kid now."
Xu Qingmo didn't want to be a third wheel between the two of them.
Ever since Wang Jing married Shen Jiang and left Xujia Village, the women in the village would gather together and inevitably bring up the two of them.
The phrases "dry wood and raging fire" and "like wolves and tigers" all apply to these two people.
Xu Qingmo understood, but at her age she could only pretend not to.
She didn't want to hear strange noises next to her when she couldn't sleep at night.
“Since Momo wants her own little room, we’ll arrange that for her,” Shen Jiang said.
Wang Jing sighed, "Mo Mo, are you really not considering sleeping with Mommy?"
"We'll sleep together again tonight," Xu Qingmo said.
Wang Jing sighed again, feeling that it wasn't Xu Qingmo who couldn't live without her, but rather that she couldn't live without Xu Qingmo.
The family of three returned to Wang Xiuzhi's home and slept soundly until dawn.
Xu Qingmo got up, but Shen Jiang had already gotten up and prepared everything.
As Wang Jing walked under the eaves, all the meat hanging there was put into her space.
Wang Xiuzhi was overjoyed to see that they left with only a small package.
The car started and drove away with the family of three. Wang Xiuzhi stood at the door to watch the car leave.
It wasn't that she was reluctant to part with him; she was afraid that Xu Qingmo might suddenly remember that she hadn't brought the salted meat and come back. Once she was sure that Xu Qingmo had gone far away, Wang Xiuzhi immediately went home, closed the door, and bolted it shut.
He turned around happily, only to find that there wasn't a single piece of meat under the eaves, and even the rope that had tied the salted meat to it had disappeared.
Wang Xiuzhi was completely dumbfounded. After regaining her senses, she started cursing and shouting in the yard.
On the other side, not long after Xu Qingmo and the others left Xujia Village, a fire suddenly broke out in the kitchen of about twenty houses, burning down most of the kitchen.
These were the same people who had previously suspected the barefoot doctor of having rabies and had thrown stones at him.
Xu Qingmo fell asleep after a bumpy car ride that lasted for several hours.
When I woke up again, I was already lying in a bed.
The unfamiliar environment, a small, private room, with a table and chairs, and a small cabinet containing clothes suitable for her to wear.
I counted them; there were five sets and three pairs of shoes.
A pair of red leather shoes and two pairs of cloth shoes, both of which are popular styles these days.
It's clear they really want her to come over.
Xu Qingmo felt a warm feeling in her heart.
"MoMo, you're awake." Wang Jing came over to check if the little one was awake. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Xu Qingmo standing in front of the wardrobe. Wang Jing explained, "These clothes were bought by your father and me. We don't know if you like them. If you don't, we can go to the city together another day and buy some more that you like."
Xu Qingmo: "I really like it, thank you Mom and Dad."
"I'm glad you like it. It's time for lunch. Let's go eat."
Xu Qingmo followed Wang Jing out of the small room. Standing in front of the dining table was a handsome little boy with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose, and fair skin, like a beautiful porcelain doll.
Shen Jiang came out of the kitchen, holding a rice bowl in his hand. Today he had cooked meat dumplings and stir-fried one meat dish and one vegetable dish.
The little boy was very shy. When he saw Xu Qingmo, he opened his mouth, but ultimately couldn't bring himself to call her "sister."
Wang Jing introduced, "Mo Mo, this is Lu Ting, three years older than you, the son of your father's comrade-in-arms, who lives with us."
"Lu Ting, this is my daughter, her full name is Xu Qingmo. You can call her Momo or your sister."
Lu Ting said "Oh," glanced at Xu Qingmo, and whispered, "Hello, Momo."
"Hello." Xu Qingmo's expression was indifferent; she wasn't very good at getting to know and interact with children.
After all, in the environment she grew up in, only by defeating her peers could she gradually rise to a high position.
Although she doesn't have to do that now, she has developed a mindset of not liking people her own age.
She felt she had grown up because she could speak calmly and rationally.
Lu Ting pursed his lips. Why did he feel like this younger sister didn't like him?
Shen Jiang set out the chopsticks and invited them to eat.
After dinner, Shen Jiang asked Lu Ting to take Xu Qingmo for a walk around the neighborhood so she could become a familiar face to him.
Many people encountered Xu Qingmo when they went out and immediately surrounded her.
"Is this the daughter Shenjiang brought back? The wife is beautiful, and the daughter is beautiful too."
"Soft and cuddly, like a little dumpling, so cute." Xu Qingmo's cheek was pinched.
She didn't like the touch and took two steps back.
Lu Ting immediately spread his arms to block Xu Qingmo, saying, "My sister isn't a small animal, please don't crowd around."
"This child's words are really hurtful. We're just being affectionate with your sister, and you're still protecting her."
"Fine, fine, if they won't let us watch, we won't watch. Let's go home first."
"My son is naughty and tore his pants in the crotch again. I'll go back and mend them while it's still light."
"Aunt Li, wait for me, there's something I want to tell you."
The women went home one by one.
Lu Ting didn't say anything and continued walking forward. The two of them walked around half of the family compound, and Xu Qingmo got to know them roughly.
But her mind wasn't on that; she was more interested in the small river near the family compound.
Lu Ting walked ahead without speaking to Xu Qingmo. Since Xu Qingmo needed his help, she had no choice but to grab onto his clothes.
"Lu Ting, I want to go play by the river. Will you take me?"
