Chapter 64 Going to the County
Yang Jingxiu nodded, raised his right hand, and patted Xie Shen on the head. He rarely did this. When he was out, he would always keep his hands on his cane, afraid that he would lose his balance and fall, making a fool of himself.
This move today was also a result of his heart. He held the crutch with his armpit and didn't dare to raise his right hand too high, for fear that the crutch would slip out of his control if it wasn't clamped properly, which would be embarrassing.
When Xie Shen saw that he was about to raise his hand, he bent down reflexively so that he could pat his head without having to raise his hand.
This child seems to be born with a strong ability of empathy.
Yang Jingxiu smiled, said goodbye to Xie Shen, turned around and walked away slowly on crutches.
Xie Shen wandered around for another half an hour and shot down three more turtledoves.
During this period of bird hunting, he has been observing the turtledove. He found that this kind of bird is quite speechless. They just pull two branches to build a nest, and dare to lay eggs and hatch chicks on it. When the breeze blows, the nests and eggs begin to shake and become shaky.
He was afraid they would fall and break!
To ensure the sustainability of his bird hunting business, he climbed several trees to reinforce the nests. As for the eggs, he didn't want to take them because they were too small.
Xie Shen returned with four turtledoves, quickly filled his stomach, and ran to school.
Zhang Ruifeng prepared and pickled the turtledoves. Xie Yun had nothing to do in the afternoon and couldn't sit still at home, so he carried the basket and went up the mountain again, taking Xie Shen's slingshot with him.
She is even more diligent than the original owner.
The original owner could sit still at home, and occasionally when he had nothing to do, sitting and daydreaming was a rare way to relax.
She couldn't sit still at all, so she might as well walk and move around so that she could bring something back home.
As the saying goes, there is no work that is done in vain. In rural areas at this time, if you want to improve your life, you can only work harder.
In reality, not everyone is diligent. Many people spend their days off sunbathing, chatting, living day by day, and making do with whatever they have.
Xie Yun brought back a basket of firewood and a wild rabbit.
Considering that he had to go to the county to look for someone the next day, Zhang Ruifeng immediately packed up the hare and wanted Xie Yun to take it as a gift tomorrow, but was stopped by Xie Yun.
"Mom, let's just bring some cabbage and radishes we grow ourselves. This is our first time meeting him, and we don't know who he is. It's safer to bring some things we grow in our own plots."
Zhang Ruifeng nodded. "You've thought it through. Let's keep this rabbit for ourselves. We've been eating a lot of roasted food lately, so let's stew this one."
She smiled and said, "Before, Mom never dared to dream that we could have such a good life. Now we can eat meat almost every day. Look at me, I've gained weight. The fat on my face has smoothed out the wrinkles. Look at Mumu, he's grown so fast. I see he's grown a lot in the past three months."
Xie Yun smiled and said, "He is in the growth stage now. He can't be short-tempered at this time. If he is short-tempered, he won't grow taller."
Zhang Ruifeng laughed and said, "When you were his age, there was a famine and you didn't have much to eat. Otherwise, you would have been taller."
Xie Yun laughed, "Mom, I'm quite tall now. There are almost no girls in our brigade who are taller than me. Even though we encountered a famine, you and Dad gave me all the delicious food, so I didn't suffer any loss."
She is 1.66 meters tall, which is considered tall in Liushu Village, taller than many young men.
At that time, the average height of men was between 1.6 and 1.7 meters, with those over 1.7 meters considered tall. According to Xie Yun's observation, there were no more than five men in Liushu Village who were 1.8 meters tall, and they were all grandfathers and uncles. Their sons were only around 1.7 meters tall, not as tall as their fathers.
Most lesbians are between 1.55 and 1.65 meters tall, and an ideal height is over 1.6 meters.
She is 1.66 meters tall, why does she need a bicycle?
Zhang Ruifeng smiled and said, "Your father loved you the most when he was alive. If he knew his daughter was so beautiful and capable, I wonder how happy he would be."
...How heartbreaking.
When Xie Tan was alive, he was reluctant to let his children work.
Xie Yun smiled and said, "Our lives are getting better and better, and my father will definitely be happy. In the future, neither of us will have to work in the fields, and he will be even happier."
Zhang Ruifeng smiled, her eyes far away. "You're right. Your father will be happy for us."
That night, after Xie Shen fell asleep, Zhang Ruifeng lit a kerosene lamp and stitched up both his cotton and outer pants. Speaking of height, she took a look at Xie Shen's pants and noticed they were hanging down a bit. If they weren't lengthened a bit, they would be too long for his ankles.
She discussed with Xie Yun: "Next year, let's not plant medicinal herbs first. Let's plant some cotton first. We should also add some new cotton for our cotton-padded clothes and quilts."
"OK."
Xie Yun had no objection. There was no rush to make money. You couldn't live without money these days. But even if you had money, there was no way to fundamentally improve your life. It would be better to grow something practical, which would really help improve the quality of life.
Early the next morning, around six o'clock, Xie Yun set out from home carrying cabbage and radishes.
After leaving the brigade, she put the things into the space, carried the empty basket and moved forward lightly, and only took out the things after arriving at the county town.
The person Li Wenrui provided was Qin Fuhai, director of the Qushui County Grain Bureau, and the address he gave was Qin Fuhai's home.
At around ten o'clock in the morning, Xie Yun knocked on Qin Fuhai's door.
Qin Fuhai also lived in a small bungalow. After Xie Yun knocked on the door, an old lady who appeared to be in her sixties opened it. "Miss, who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Director Qin. I'm from Taoyuan Commune. A doctor named Li sent me here."
The old lady immediately said, "Come in quickly."
Wasn't Doctor Li from Taoyuan Commune her husband's lifesaver? Fu Hai had visited him before and told him he wasn't doing well. He wanted to help, but there wasn't much he could do. Furthermore, Doctor Li didn't want to implicate him, so he refused to accept his help. He had come to her house this time, so there must be something wrong.
Xie Yun followed her into the house.
"Old man, this girl was sent here by Doctor Li."
As soon as she entered the room, the old lady said these words to the old man who was sitting in the room drinking tea.
The old man then stood up and asked, "Miss, are you Dr. Li's?"
Xie Yun smiled and said, "We are friends regardless of age. Doctor Li asked me to deliver a letter to Director Qin."
As he spoke, Xie Yun handed over the letter written by Li Wenrui.
The old man put on his reading glasses and opened it directly.
