Wearing the new shoes given by Zhou's mother, Zhou Songbai sent him back to the educated youth's courtyard.
For a period of time afterwards, Meng Zhiyu either went to the county town to sell goods, or gave Zhou's father acupuncture, medicinal baths and pulse diagnosis. When medicinal materials were available, he would go to the back mountain to collect herbs accompanied by the three brothers of the Zhou family.
Sometimes Zhou Songbai would take her to the back mountain to hunt. She would provide the medicine powder and help, and they would split the money equally.
The day before the autumn harvest, Meng Zhiyu went to the county town to sell the goods, and then went to the post office with satisfaction to pick up the newspaper packages and letters sent from his grandfather's house.
This time it was written by grandma herself. The content of the letter was nothing more than her concern about whether she was living well here and whether anyone was bullying her. If she was wronged, she should not keep it to herself but tell them. She asked her uncle and cousin to go and support her.
Then she said, "We're all wearing sweaters and pants at home. How's the weather where you are? You should keep warm. There are two sets of sweaters and pants in the package, one made by her and the other made by her aunt."
My second aunt made me a pair of knitted gloves and a pair of thick cloth shoes.
Meng Zhiyu felt warm inside when she saw this. She continued reading and her grandmother said that her eldest cousin’s wife came home to visit and knew that she was going to mail something to her, so she specially brought out a hat and scarf that she had made in advance and asked her to mail them together.
My second cousin's wife was clumsy and not very good at sewing, so I gave her thirty yuan and two cloth coupons and told her to buy whatever she needed.
I mailed her 150 yuan and some various tickets, so she could buy whatever she wanted to eat.
Meng Zhiyu read the letter carefully, folded it in half and put it away, took out a pen and paper to write a reply, rode his bike to a secluded place, and put the package into the space.
She took out a big bag and put the things she had prepared in it one by one, including a set of clothes bought for her grandparents, two cans of milk powder, and a foot bath medicine bag suitable for the elderly that she had specially found in the library.
Knowing that my uncles like spicy food, I looked for many recipes for making chili sauce in books. I hid in the space and failed twice before I made six jars of shredded pork chili sauce.
There are also skin care products for my aunt, second aunt, and cousin's wife. She bought them in the mall and changed them to the packaging of this era.
The rest are some small snacks for my nieces and nephews.
After mailing the letter and other things, Meng Zhiyu went to the restaurant to have lunch before leisurely riding his bike back to the village.
The next day, the busy autumn harvest season began, and Meng Zhiyu was assigned to break corn cobs.
Based on the old man's (Song Yun) experience, Meng Zhiyu and others found a piece of cloth to wrap their heads, faces and necks tightly, dressed their bodies as tightly as possible, and wore crocheted gloves on their hands.
Even so, at the end of the day, Meng Zhiyu still had a lot of small bumps on the back of his hands, which were very itchy.
After taking a shower, I changed into clean clothes, took out the disinfectant I bought at the mall, disinfected the back of my hands first, and then applied the disinfectant and anti-itching ointment I developed myself.
There is mint in it that she specially put in it. When you apply it on the back of your hand, it feels cool and the itchy feeling that is scratching your heart and lungs is relieved a little.
Just as the busy autumn harvest was coming to an end, the Public Security Bureau finally brought good news. Meng Zhiyu's fellow patient Liu Hui and her twin grandchildren were, after repeated verification, confirmed to be the two lost children of Mrs. Zhang and Li Zhengzhi.
The moment the news reached the team, everyone was very happy. Li Zhengzhi couldn't help but have tears in his eyes. He hugged his wife and kept repeating the good news to her.
When everyone in the Flash Star Brigade was happy about the news, Mrs. He from the neighboring Sunflower Brigade was taken away by the police. An insider revealed that Mrs. He was involved in the loss and sale of Li Zhengzhi's twins.
The He family became the stinking rats in the village. No one in the entire brigade liked them because this incident not only damaged the reputation of the He family, but also the reputation of the brigade.
The Sunflower Brigade leader was even called to the county office to receive criticism. This means that at least this year, the Sunflower Brigade will no longer be awarded the title of Outstanding Brigade.
"They're back, they're back. The twins are brought back." A group of people who had been waiting at the door of Li Zhengzhi's house for a long time shouted excitedly when they saw the familiar cow appear in their sight.
Today is the day to go to the county town to pick up the two children. Almost the entire village is out standing on the road to the village. Meng Zhiyu and his friends are also squeezed in the crowd.
There were so many people, and many of them were not behaving themselves. You twisted your neck, she twisted her waist, one moved her legs, and that one shook her arms.'
Meng Zhiyu felt like she was in a shaker cup, being passively swayed over and over again. If she wasn't careful, she would get hit in the stomach or waist by some old lady's elbow, or have her feet stepped on hard.
Li Tingman and the others had been squeezed away for a long time and no one knew where they were. After a lot of effort, the child finally arrived at the village. Meng Zhiyu didn't know who pushed her from behind, and her body fell to one side uncontrollably.
After a few seconds of panic, he was trying to grab the clothes of the person next to him for leverage, when he felt a tightness on his lower back and was lifted up by a pair of strong hands.
"Be careful." A deep male voice came from behind. Meng Zhiyu didn't even need to turn around to know who was behind him.
"Thank you, Brother Zhou San." Meng Zhiyu walked forward with the flow of people, turned his head slightly and thanked him.
"Well, don't be polite to me." Zhou Songbai followed closely behind her to protect her, trying his best to prevent others from squeezing her.
When they finally followed the crowd to the gate of the Li family, the two children were carried out of the car. Considering Mrs. Zhang's situation, the team leader asked the village chief and his wife to go along.
The village chief led the cow, while his wife and Li Zhengzhi each held a child. The two children were over six months old and were very anxious and crying in a completely unfamiliar environment.
Fortunately, the village daughter-in-law and Li Zhengzhi spent most of the day playing with the two children at the Public Security Bureau. The two children were somewhat familiar with them and stopped crying after being coaxed for a while.
Meng Zhiyu looked at the two little kids, tears in their eyes, and their little mouths, relying on you with a wronged look, and thought they were so cute.
People around them couldn't help but praise them, "Why do I feel that these two children look like their grandmother, especially the little boy."
The two children wore clothes of the same style but different colors. A few days before Li Zhengzhi knew that the children were coming back, he went to the county town to buy clothes made by a Butuo family. He did not want any clothes from the shop in the county town.
"That's right. Logically, the girl should look more like him. They grow in the opposite direction, so the girl looks more like the great-grandfather."
"It doesn't matter. As long as the child is healthy, even if he looks like a pig, it's still a happy thing."
Meng Zhiyu, "..."
The words were rough but the truth was there. Although it sounded a bit harsh, it was also the fact. Li Zhengzhi, the biological father, nodded heavily in agreement.
