Chapter 74 Do you take me as a three-year-old child?
When Shang Ruoting returned to the west yard, Lin Erniu had already returned, and Old Lady Shang also came over to bring lunch to them.
Shang Ruoting washed her hands by the well and walked closer to the few people.
"Tingting, it's already noon and none of you have gone back to eat, so I brought it here. It's still warm now. Ask Tan Chen and the others to come over for dinner."
Shang Ruoting handed the meat in the basket to Old Lady Shang and said, "Grandma, thank you for your hard work. You made a trip to bring us food."
"Child, why are you being so polite to your grandma?" Old Lady Shang said, looking at the piece of meat in her hand. "It's just right. You and Tan Chen have worked hard today. Let's make pork and water celery dumplings for dinner."
"Okay, let's eat dumplings tonight." Shang Ruoting agreed and went over to call Tan Chen and Lin Erniu to come over for dinner.
Lin Erniu lowered his head, looking very worried. Even though Tan Chen could see him, he didn't notice.
Shang Ruoting guessed that Lin Erniu's condition must be related to Yangmei.
Outsiders have no right to interfere in such matters, so she pretended not to notice anything unusual about Lin Erniu.
After lunch, Mrs. Shang left with the empty bowls and plates, and several people were busy sowing seeds.
In the middle, Shang Ruoting gave some suggestions, all of which were based on the most scientific planting methods in her mind.
Tan Chen didn't think there was anything wrong with the method she mentioned, but Lin Erniu kept asking the reason for planting in this way.
Shang Ruoting did not hide anything and told him everything she knew.
After all the seeds were planted, Tan Chen and Lin Erniu went to the well to fetch water to irrigate the fields. Shang Ruoting quietly poured some spiritual spring water into the bucket while the two were not paying attention.
The effect of this diluted spiritual spring water will not be so obvious, but it can also play a role in promoting growth.
This is just right. Their crops grow faster than those of other families, but it is not noticeable. Anyone who sees it will just think that their soil is fertile.
After the vegetable garden was taken care of, Shang Ruoting paid Lin Erniu two yuan as wages and two packs of Moju cigarettes.
Lin Erniu accepted it after some polite talk, and then they all walked towards their home together.
Tan Chen held the hoe in one hand and naturally held Shang Ruoting's hand with the other, walking in front with big strides.
Lin Erniu looked at the two of them and always felt that something was wrong.
"Tan Chen, can you see with your eyes?"
When he shouted in such a loud voice, many people passing by looked at Tan Chen.
Tan Chen grinned at Lin Erniu: "Brother Erniu, I could see it all day long, and you just noticed it?"
Lin Erniu's huge body instantly jumped in front of Tan Chen and waved a finger in front of him: "What number is this?"
Tan Chen was completely amused by his actions and reached out to pry his fingers apart: "Do you take me for a three-year-old child?"
All the villagers passing by stopped and looked at the two men.
"Tan Chen's eyes are healed."
"Tan Chen's eyes are really healed."
"Isn't he blind? How can he be healed?"
"Oh my god, Tan Chen's eyes can really see. Look, he's still joking with Lin Erniu..."
Shang Ruolian watched all this from a distance, biting her lower lip tightly. "Wasn't Tan Chen's eyes supposed to heal in half a year? How could it be earlier?"
For Shang Ruolian, all this happened too suddenly and she could not continue to sit and wait for death.
Thinking of this, she ran quickly towards her home.
Zhang Lanxiang was picking beans in the yard. Seeing Shang Ruolian running back in a panic, she hurriedly asked, "Ruolian, what happened to you?"
Shang Ruolian sat on the small stool next to Zhang Lanxiang: "Mom, I want to go to the city to look for my brother-in-law."
Zhang Lanxiang was puzzled: "Why are you looking for your brother-in-law?"
"Mom, my brother-in-law went to the countryside after finishing high school. He must have high school textbooks. I want to borrow them to study."
Zhang Lanxiang was even more confused: "You're just a country girl. You should just find a good family to marry into. Why would you want to learn Xi?"
Shang Ruolan didn't know how to explain. She had no chance to get close to Tan Chen now. Since that was the case, she could only become an outstanding person to attract Tan Chen's attention.
"Mom, I heard a rumor that our country will resume the college entrance examination next year. If I can get into university, not only will I have a city hukou, but I'll also be the only college student in our village. Do you think that by then, I'll be so outstanding that Tan Chen won't be attracted to me?"
Zhang Lanxiang didn't believe this at all: "Ruolian, you're not a child anymore. How many of those rumors are true? You'd better stop thinking about those unfounded things all day."
Shang Ruolian has made up her mind. No matter what Zhang Lanxiang's attitude is, she must study. Only in this way will she be more qualified to stand by Tan Chen's side.
She stood up and dusted herself off: "Mom, I've already made up my mind. Don't worry about it."
"I don't care. You can do whatever you want as long as it doesn't delay my work points." Zhang Lanxiang also knew that she couldn't communicate with this stubborn daughter, so she simply gave up.
Shang Ruolian went back to her room, changed into nearly new clothes, combed her hair again, and stood in front of Zhang Lanxiang, carrying a crossbody bag. "Mom, I'm going to my sister's house now. I won't be back tonight."
