Chen Laosan hardly rested during the journey, and was even out of breath when he was surrounded by people asking him questions.

After taking a deep breath, he said, "The doctor said that the bones in his legs are all broken. Whether he can walk in the future depends on how well he recovers."

"What?"

After hearing this, everyone took a deep breath.

"Broken bones? Doesn't that mean you can't stand up?"

They have only heard of bones breaking, but never of anyone having a bone shattered.

"Can this still be connected? It shouldn't affect walking later, right?" someone asked again.

Without waiting for Chen Laosan's reply,

Aunt Li said, "My third son is not a doctor, how would he know?"

He turned around and pulled his son, asking carefully, "Then he should be fine elsewhere, right?"

Although I asked this question, I still don't have high expectations.

She saw it all last night. When Yao Zhendong was carried back, he was covered in blood.

The injuries on his legs are so severe, the injuries on other parts of his body are probably not any less serious.

The others had similar questions as Aunt Li, and they stared at Chen Laosan without blinking.

Chen Laosan sighed, "The bones in my hand are broken, but not as serious as my leg injury."

Simply put, Yao Zhendong's legs and arms were both broken, the only difference was the severity.

The villagers were silent for a long time.

Farmers depend on a handful of rice for their livelihood.

Yao Zhendong suffered such a serious injury. Even if he recovers, he will be a useless person.

The Yao family is really finished now.

With something like this happening to the eldest child in the family, will there ever be peace in their family?

Aunt Li moved her lips and asked, "Where are your brother and the others?"

Her first three sons all went with her, so why did only the third one come back?

Chen Lao San explained: "Several people fainted at the captain's house, and there was no one to guard it. My brothers are guarding it."

The villagers nodded. Yao Zhendong fell so badly that it was like the sky falling for the Yao family.

The group asked a few more questions, mostly about Yao Zhendong's physical condition.

Seeing that Chen Laosan's lips were chapped with anger, as soon as he finished speaking, Aunt Li took her son back.

After a busy day, you may not have eaten anything. Don't let yourself get too hungry.

When these two left,

Others also quickly dispersed from the millstone and began to visit each household, telling them the news that Chen Laosan had brought back.

The details of Yao Zhendong's injuries soon spread throughout the entire Stone Mill Brigade.

Whenever Jiang Yuman entered or left the house, she could hear people at the educated youth center discussing this matter.

Including Zhou Yun's family.

Mrs. Cai was sitting at the door picking beans. She said with wide eyes, "With his arms and legs broken, he is useless. His sister is really a troublemaker. She stayed up in the middle of the night and took her family to the back mountain."

Zhou Yun curled her lips and said, "No wonder they live so well, it turns out they are speculating and profiteering!"

As long as he is accused of speculation, it will be a question whether Yao Anguo can remain as the captain.

"Isn't it? There are many good things on the hill behind."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were discussing heatedly.

When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. The current Yao family is no longer the Yao family that they had tried hard to please before.

When the other educated youth heard what they said, they quickly followed suit.

We talked about this topic for an entire afternoon.

Jiang Yuman did not join in these meaningless conversations. After waking up from her nap, she gathered a pile of dirty clothes and put them in the basin.

When Fu Jingchen saw it, he took the basin and said, "I'll wash it."

Ever since Jiang Yuman fell into the river last time, her family never let her go near the river again.

Fu Jingchen usually takes care of all the laundry.

Jiang Yumen looked at him with a smile in her eyes.

Housework is never a woman's job alone.

She likes men who can handle things and have an eye on housework.

It was because Fu Jingchen doted on her so much that she loved this man so much.

"Brother, I'll help you wash too." Seeing this, Fu Haitang stood up and said.

She saw that there was not only a large basin of stuff, but even sheets.

If you wash alone, you don’t know when you will finish.

"No, Haitang," Jiang Yuman coughed twice, "Let your brother wash it."

The tone was a little uncomfortable.

The bed sheets were all filled with Fu Jingchen's good deeds, and she didn't dare let Fu Haitang see them.

"Sister-in-law, I wash clothes and they are clean too." Fu Haitang was unaware of the situation and thought that Jiang Yuman disliked her.

Fu Jingchen said: "I'll wash it alone."

His eyes were indifferent, but his tone contained a tone that brooked no room for argument.

Facing his brother, Fu Haitang dared not speak out.

I could only sit there angrily, "You don't know good people."

Fu Jingchen turned a deaf ear and went straight to the river with the basin.

No explanation was given.

He knew that his wife was shy, so it would be best for him to wash the clothes.

She is already tired enough from being pregnant, and I just have to do the laundry so as not to embarrass her.

"Why are you so angry?"

When Fu's mother saw that her son had walked so far away, Fu Haitang was still angry.

He couldn't help but laugh and nodded his daughter's head, "I let you take a break, but you seem to have been robbed of a good thing."

Upon hearing this, Fu Haitang's eyes became evasive.

She is not stupid, of course she knows that washing clothes is not an easy job.

She just thought that her sister-in-law had become a better person, and she wanted to show off as well.

He sighed secretly, turned his gaze, and looked at the quilt that Fu's mother was sewing, and his attention was instantly attracted again.

Her eyes lit up, "Mom, let me sew a few stitches too."

Sewing a quilt cover is not a difficult task. Fu's mother handed it to her and taught her patiently.

Seeing that her younger sister finally stopped insisting on helping with the laundry, Jiang Yuman breathed a sigh of relief and turned back into the house.

Zhou Yun, who was sitting opposite, saw all of this and couldn't help but mutter:

"Bah! Men are supposed to do serious work! Who would spend all day washing sheets and clothes? This woman is so lazy."

When she said this, Yang Tianci was listening beside her.

Looking at his mother, his eyes thoughtful.

——

Fu Jingchen was very angry, and he was used to doing housework in the army, so he came back soon after washing his things.

By the time the clothes were hung up, Fu's mother's meal was ready.

After dinner, I sat in the yard for a while before going back to the house to prepare for bed.

When Fu Jingchen finished washing up and entered the room, he saw his wife sitting by the bed with something in her hand.

Looking closely, it was the quilt that Fu's mother had been sewing recently.

After a few days, the quilt of the house was almost sewn.

She was also gesturing with needle and thread at this time. Looking at this scene, Fu Jingchen's lips curled slightly:

"The light is very dark, don't hurt your eyes."

"Come here quickly," Jiang Yuman waved at him, "and see how I'm sewing."

Fu Jingchen walked over.

I saw a word sewn on a corner of the quilt. With the help of a kerosene lamp, I could barely make out that it was an irregular "Man".

He looked at Jiang Yuman with a smile in his eyes, "When the baby learns to read, he probably won't recognize that this is 'Man'."

Jiang Yuman's expectant gaze froze, and then she reached out and punched him twice, "Okay, you're making fun of me."

She said unhappily, "This is my first time sewing, isn't it good enough that you can tell it's a word?"

Seeing my wife is angry,

Fu Jingchen put his arms around her and softened her, and only coaxed her into submission when she was almost asleep.

After the people around him fell asleep, he picked up the quilt that was a little small for adults, stroked the word, and his eyes were filled with anticipation and tenderness.

The next day, Jiang Yuman got up and prepared for class.

When making the bed, I picked up the quilt on one side and prepared to give it to Fu's mother.

As a result, I just glanced at it and froze.

Next to the shapeless character "曼", there was a crooked "臣".

There is one character on each diagonal corner, very neat.

Her bright eyes couldn't help but curl up, and there was a smile on her lips.

Just at this moment, footsteps were heard at the door. She turned around with the quilt in her hand and looked into the eyes of Fu Jingchen who came in.
