Chapter 39



Lin Duzhong didn't notice anything wrong with them. "You're back. It's just right. Give the medicine to this female comrade."

Lin Chuanbai came over silently and gave the medicine to Gao Yimei. Gao Yimei took the medicine with one hand and gave the money with the other: "Thank you, Dr. Xiaolin."

Everything seemed the same as before, but they both knew that the other party's identity had been confirmed.

He just called Dr. Lin "grandpa", so he is his grandson and his home is here. Lin Chuanbai knows that Gao Yimei works at the fabric factory, and Yu Xiangan, who came with her, can find out by asking her.

As soon as he went out, Yu Xiangan immediately asked Gao Yimei, "Do you know who the person who just came in is?"

Gao Yimei: "I know, he is Dr. Lin's second grandson, his name is Lin Chuanbai, his father is the one who joined the army, he seems to work in the county hospital, it is very convenient to get medicine, why are you asking about him?"

"I haven't seen him."

Gao Yimei remembered, "You didn't come when I came alone before, so you didn't meet him and missed him. Doesn't he look good? Although he doesn't look very energetic, he is quite tall. I remember he didn't seem to have a partner. He is about your age."

She had also considered a fair-skinned young man. Although he didn't look very energetic, his family was not bad. Unfortunately, she was several years older than him, so the possibility was too small.

Yu Xiangan: “…”

Not very energetic? The implication of this sentence now is that he looks average.

The aesthetic standard at that time was that a good-looking young man had to have thick eyebrows, big eyes, and regular and elegant facial features. Guys like Lin Chuanbai, who looked more like the young handsome guys of later generations, were not very popular at that time.

Many of the handsome young men and beautiful women who made their fans scream in later generations were subject to various prejudices at that time.

But Yu Xiangan couldn't say anything. This was a difference in aesthetics caused by the times and there was nothing much to say.

But are you attracted to him?

She shook her head and hurriedly explained, "No, don't think too much about it. I just didn't see him a few times before, so I'm a little curious. I won't consider personal issues in the short term."

Hearing her say this, Gao Yimei remembered the gossip she had heard before, and looked at her with sympathy in her eyes. It seemed that both of them were not having a smooth marriage.

Not many people talk about it nowadays, but if they are talking about marriage, the man will definitely be able to find out if he asks around.

It will definitely take some twists and turns.

After the two of them left, Lin Chuanbai also asked Lin Duzhong about their situation, "Is that unfamiliar person also here to see a doctor?"

"No, she came here with her friend."

"Do you know him? Are they all from the textile factory?"

Lin Duzhong thought for a moment and said, "No, I think she said that it was her friend, from the food factory, named Xiao An."

He recalled and confirmed that Gao Yimei had asked her to help buy canned fruit and other things.

"What's wrong? The girl is pretty, do you want to date? Grandpa will introduce you to one." He joked, without any hope at all.

It's still a long way until he finally comes to his senses.

As expected, his grandson refused. "No, I just think he looks familiar. I seem to have seen him somewhere before. If you put it that way, then I must have remembered it wrongly. I have never been to a food factory."

"Maybe you saw her in the hospital. She brought her sister-in-law to see me before. She and her sister-in-law had been to the hospital. Her sister-in-law is the one I mentioned before, pregnant with twins."

Lin Chuanbai nodded. It would be easy since she had been to the hospital. She could ask around and find out that not many people are pregnant with twins.

Yu Xiangan was also thinking about going back and asking around. Even if he didn't know everything about him, he could get a general idea of ​​what kind of person he was. Generally speaking, there was no need to question his character. If his character was not up to standard, he would not have rushed to save people at that time. But what about other details?

Many times, details determine success or failure.

It’s not like there haven’t been people in TV dramas who traveled to another world and thought they were the protagonists, calling the shots.

TV dramas are artistically processed, so only the protagonist's domineering aura is exuded and he reaches the peak of his life. However, in reality, he shows too many abnormalities and people around him will be wary.

Yu Xiangan and Gao Yimei went to the fabric factory as usual. Lin Chuanbai was not in a hurry about this matter. There would be plenty of time to figure it out slowly in the future. Now let's see if he can find a bargain.

If you can, you won't have to worry about fabric for some time.

If possible, she wanted to buy a new bed sheet, a thick one for winter.

It’s not that her current bed sheets are unusable. They were given to her by her grandmother when she moved into her new house, and they are still very new. But they are for summer use. It’s winter now, and every time she gets into bed, she has to warm them up for a while before they get warm.

She also knew that the defective fabrics were dealt with by internal personnel, who were people holding certain positions within the company.

If she came, she would take up Gao Yimei's share, so she had to know the limits. At the same time, she was grateful to her for this favor.

This was Yu Xiangan's first time going back to the fabric factory. Most of the workers were not there at this time, but there were still people in the production workshop.

Workers work in shifts.

The Chinese New Year is the time when the busiest orders come in, and they still have some orders that haven’t been completed.

Gao Yimei is also very proud when she talks about it. The more orders they get, the higher the subsidies and benefits they will give out, so it is naturally something to be proud of.

In this respect, the fabric factory is still inferior to the food factory.

Since Gao Yimei wanted to do this favor, she would not give up halfway.

I took Yu Xiangan to the destination, and gave up reluctantly after seeing a small piece of orange cloth.

She likes it very much, but she also has to think about her wallet.

She repeatedly said she didn't want it, but Yu Xiangan took it anyway.

This color is very nice and it will definitely look great made into a skirt.

I was also planning in my mind to share some of the brown sugar she bought with her.

She needs it now.

Yu Xiangan bought the cloth and immediately asked people about it, but there was not much information about Lin Chuanbai.

He used to come back here less than once a year. He and his grandfather both lived in the city. It is said that he came back to live permanently after he graduated from high school and his grandfather retired, and he passed the exam and was admitted to the county hospital.

He doesn't like to talk usually, but he has real abilities.

I never come late or leave early.

He looks like a cautious person.

Coming here from the city where I have many acquaintances can help me avoid many problems.

Lin Chuanbai asked the doctor that Ye Qijia was seeing and found out Yu Xiangan's name, and then a series of information came out.

He just needs to go to those people who like to gossip and start talking, and then others will automatically follow suit.

The information provided was very complete, so complete that it even surprised him.

However... he seemed to ask casually: "Isn't she being too decisive in doing this? The change is a bit big."

The person who was speaking didn't care: "What's the big deal? After going through something, some changes are natural, aren't they?"

If there really is a change, the reasons are already there.

Lin Chuanbai nodded thoughtfully.

Both sides now feel that the other side's approach is more reliable.

Yu Xiangan gave the cloth to Yao Cuifen and asked her to help make a skirt. That night, Yu Xiangqing came back and she had a 15-day vacation.

When she came back, Zhao Qiaoniang still had to work as a temporary worker in the factory for a few more days. The housework was not finished yet, but it was almost cleaned. Her and Yu Xiangyan's bedding and other things had also been dried in the sun and smelled of the sun.

After coming back, Yu Xiangqing lay in bed from evening till noon the next day before he fully recovered.

She was too tired and missed home too much. She was so excited that she couldn't sleep a few days before she came back. There were so many people and things to do in the car and she couldn't sleep. Now that she is finally back, she can finally rest assured. She lay down for a long time.

It was noon and Yu Xiangju was the only one at home, so she took him to her grandmother's house.

Yao Cuifen saw her and held her hand, unwilling to let go.

The child went to the countryside and lived a hard life in a place she couldn't see. Look at her hands, how much rougher they were than when she went to the countryside. Look at her skin color, how much darker it was. You can tell from these without asking carefully, not to mention that she had encountered such a thing. Yao Cuifen didn't want to make her granddaughter sad, so she didn't mention Liang Yong at all, but only asked if she ate well there and lived well.

Yu Xiangqing didn't want to make her worry, so he only picked out the good things and said, "The family I live with is very good. Grandma Chen is gentle and has helped me a lot. I teach her grandchildren to study, and they respect me very much. There is only one son in their family. He is a soldier in another place and rarely goes back. However, he sends his allowance back home. Life is not bad. The people there are very friendly. I have also submitted my article to a newspaper, but I haven't received a reply from the newspaper yet. I will continue to work hard."

"I made friends. I can get along with most of the educated youth. They come from all over the world. Some are very far away, just like my cousin. They have traveled across half of the country, and it is very troublesome to go back home, so they rarely go back. I learned a lot from chatting with them."

Going back is not just a matter of not having enough time, but also a very practical problem is the price of the train ticket. After working hard for several years, a train ticket will empty your wallet. Then you have to go back again after two days, and the going and coming are in a hurry, which is costly and laborious. I really can't afford it.

Every time this happened, she was glad that she lived not far from home and could return in less than a day, which saved her a lot of trouble.

"By the way, grandma, I remember my little sister told me that you really like the steamed glutinous rice there, so I brought some back. It's very fragrant. It's the glutinous rice that was just harvested this year."

Yu Xiangqing was very attached to Yao Cuifen. She could not regard Zhao Qiaoniang as her own mother. When Qin Fenglan's mother passed away, she was already in her teens and could remember things. Except for Yu Xiangju who was still ignorant, how could they regard her as their own mother? After the biological mother passed away, the role of mother was often played by the grandmother.

If this attachment is graded, her attachment to her grandmother is the deepest. It's okay when she's not around her, but as soon as she sees her, she wants to act coquettishly with her.

"Glutinous rice? Yes, Xiao An brought some back. I think it tastes better than the local glutinous rice here. Do you have any? Keep it for yourself. Grandma is old and has eaten everything."

"I do have it. This is what the team gave me. I still have a little bit left." She said feeling a little guilty.

The glutinous rice not only came from the team but also from what she bought from others.

How could Yao Cuifen not see it? She patted her hands and said, "Okay, grandma knows you are filial. Xiao An bought some fabrics before, and I made the clothes for her. You can take it back and let her try it to see if it fits. If there is anything wrong, I will modify it for her."

Yu Xiangqing took it and took a look. "I don't think Xiao An's craftsmanship will improve in the future. She just doesn't have the talent for it. It's strange, because it's not like she's undefted. The food she cooks is delicious." She unfolded it and shook it. "I guess it's fine." It's just that the fabric is not very colorful. It's blue. It would be better if it had flowers on it, which would be more suitable for their age.

She put it away, and Yao Cuifen took out another piece of clothing: "This is made by grandma, try it on to see if it fits. Xiaoan has her own job, and she buys her own fabrics. It's a bit difficult for you now, so grandma will buy it for you. Our Xiaoqing is not much older than Xiaoan, so she should wear something more stylish."

Yu Xiangqing felt a little blocked in her throat. She blinked quickly, not wanting her eyeballs to fall out: "Grandma..."

"You, don't give up. We will find a way for you. Now put on this dress and clean up. Grandma will introduce you to someone."

Yu Xiangqing: “……!!!”

Who to introduce?

No, no.

Yu Xiangqing's tears shrank back and he laughed dryly: "Grandma, I'm not in a hurry."

Yao Cuifen: "You are not young anymore. If you find a family with more jobs, you can come back. When you come back, the whole family can be together again. Isn't that good? Your sister died not long after she went to the countryside. Girls are different from boys. You don't know how much your grandmother worries about you. Your mother is gone, and your grandmother has to help her look after you."

Yu Xiangqing couldn't say no.

Yao Cuifen held her hand without giving her permission: "Listen to grandma about this matter! Stay with grandma and let my old sisters take a look at you."

Yu Xiangqing: "..."

Before Yu Xiangqing could catch up with his family, he was dragged by his grandmother to visit various places.

After Yu Qingshan found out, he didn't object at all. He silently took out a piece of yellow cloth and told her to make it brighter.

At that time, most of the cloths were black, blue and gray, and the bright ones were all good stuff.

I don’t know where this Bu Yu Qingshan came from.

Yao Cuifen was very satisfied when she received the cloth.

He was not in a hurry and still took her out for walks during the day. When he had free time, he taught her how to make clothes.

When it comes to making clothes, the two sisters, the eldest brother is no better than the second brother. Yu Xiangqing is better, but not to a great extent.

But if she tries hard, it may still be saved.

Yu Xiangan expressed deep sympathy for Yu Xiangqing's experience. There were only a few days of vacation, and it was difficult to find someone reliable and compatible during this time.

When Yu Xiangqing was in dire straits, Yu Xiangyan and the others came back.

Because Yu Xiangyan and his friends didn't write back to say which shift they were on, so we didn't know they were back until they arrived at the door. Yu Xiangyan walked in, exhausted, with a bright and flamboyant smile on his face, "Dad, I'm back!"

They were having dinner at the time, and when they saw them coming back, they stood up immediately in surprise. Yu Qingshan put down his bowl and chopsticks and walked over to them, "You're back!"

Yu Xiangyan nodded, "Dad, Aunt Qiao, Manchang, Xiaoqing, Xiaoan, Xiaoju, I'm back."

Yu Qingshan looked at his size and nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, okay."

Yu Xiangyan took Wen Ruzhen to offer tea to Yu Qingshan: "Dad, I brought your daughter-in-law back. This is my brother-in-law Yizhen."

Wen Ruzhen was a little nervous, but she looked calm, smiling and handing over the tea: "Dad."

Wen Yizheng also called out, "Uncle."

Yu Qingshan took the tea with both hands, then went in and took out a red envelope wrapped in red paper: "Okay, good boy, come, sit down and eat. You must be hungry. Go and make two more dishes. Manchang, run an errand for me and tell your brother that his younger brother is back. Ask him to come over and talk." His attitude did not change, and Wen Ruzhen felt relieved.

Yu Qingshan then turned his head and looked at Yu Xiangyan, "Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming back? I've been waiting for your letter and was wondering if you were delayed on the way."

Yu Xiangyan sat down and said, "I didn't send a letter. It's okay. There are three of us. Why are you worried about something? There aren't many things, so I didn't write. It's much faster to come back directly than to write a letter. Otherwise, maybe I'll arrive here, but the letter will arrive two days later."

Yu Xiangan brought out two bowls of soup and placed them in front of her second sister-in-law and her brother respectively. "Today I made bone soup and added some pepper. Are you used to it?"

Wen Ruzhen thanked him and said, "I'm used to it." Drinking a bowl of soup like this on a cold day warms up the whole body.

Yu Xiangan took a closer look at her second sister-in-law.

She is an outstanding beauty, and even when wearing old clothes, she has her own elegance.

Her younger brother is the same, just like the beautiful boy in the comic book. He automatically attracts people's attention just by standing there, without saying anything.

Their genes are really good-looking, but they look too thin, especially when they sit together with Yu Xiangyan, the contrast is too obvious.

Yu Xiangan quickly returned to the kitchen and poured a bowl of soup for Yu Xiangyan.

Zhao Qiaoniang and Yu Xiangqing cooked a few more dishes in the kitchen and added some sweet potato flour.

Cooking is too slow at this time.

All three of them were hungry. There were quite a few radishes in the soup, so they ate them all in one go before stopping.

"How long did you take the train?"

Yu Xiangyan sighed, "I was unlucky this time. I don't know what went wrong on the way. I stopped at a station for more than two hours and was late."

Yu Qingshan, "You must be tired, take a good bath and go to bed early."

After a few words, Yu Xiangqing and Zhao Qiaoniang came out with noodles, and there was an egg in each person's bowl.

It smells delicious.

As soon as the food was served, they started eating. Judging from the speed, you could tell they were very hungry.

I guess I didn't have lunch.

They put down their bowls, and Yu Xianghai, Ye Qijiajia and Yu Mingjie came over.

Yu Xianghai gave Yu Xiangyan a bear hug, "You boy, you are finally back."

"Brother, sister-in-law, this is Mingjie? Children grow up so fast." Yu Xiangyan sighed, "Brother, this is your sister-in-law, and this is my brother-in-law. Yes, I'm back."

Yu Xianghai smiled at Wen Ruzhen and said, "Hello, sister-in-law. I will trouble you as your younger brother in the future."

Yu Xiangyan was not happy to hear this, "Brother, why do you bother her by saying this? I am so kind, and we are obviously supporting each other."

Yu Xianghai laughed, "You are still so shameless."

Ye Qijia sat down next to Wen Ruzhen, "Sister-in-law."

Wen Ruzhen called out, "Sister-in-law."

Yu Xiangqing walked over to them and said, "Second sister-in-law, you are really pretty. Both of my sisters-in-law are pretty. My nephews and nieces will definitely not be ugly in the future, so it won't be difficult for them to find a partner."

Both of them laughed. Wen Ruzhen looked at Ye Qijia's belly and her voice became softer. "It's twins, right?"

Ye Qijia, "Yeah, does your belly look bigger? It's normal..."

Yu Xiangyan and Yu Xianghai talked for a while and began to unpack their bags. They brought back a lot of things.

Seeing his movements, Yu Qingshan came over to help, "What did you bring? There are so many."

"They are all local specialties, mushrooms and fungus. There are a lot of them there. When it rains, they pop out of the soil one after another."

"Many of these were picked by a few of us in the mountains, and then brought back to wash and dry. There are also some medicinal herbs from there, which can be added when making soup."

The mushrooms over there are used to help us get through the lean years when food is scarce.

Everyone will pick a lot.

He also brought back half a ham. "This ham was made by an old woman over there. She is a master at making ham. Every year, people always ask her for help. I helped her with a small favor before she agreed to give it to me. I have tasted it and it is very fragrant. Whether it is made into soup or steamed, it is so delicious that I want to swallow my tongue with it."

Ham is made from the hind leg of pig and is meat.

It's easy to attract people's attention.

Yu Xiangan knew what was good. He walked over, took a look, smelled it, and gave a thumbs-up. “This must be made by black pigs.”

Yu Xiangyan was surprised, "How did you know?"

Yu Xiangan smiled and said casually, "I've seen it before at the canteen chef's place in our factory. It's quite similar to this one. He treasures it very much." This kind of ham is not cheap.

Her second brother is quite capable to get such a big one.

Yu Xiangyan said, "That's right. I put a lot of effort into this. I was amazed when I ate it for the first time. I wanted to bring some back for everyone to try."

Yu Xianghai patted his shoulder and said, "Boy, I know that you will do well wherever you go."

Yu Manchang nodded in agreement; he thought so too.

Yu Xiangqing went to the kitchen and looked, "The water is hot, who will take a shower first?"

Wen Ruzhen looked at Yu Xiangyan, and Yu Xiangyan also looked at her, "You go wash first, I'll wash last."

Yu Xiangan, "Your room has been cleaned up and you can move in directly. Second sister-in-law, I will follow me. This is your room. Yizhen, you sleep in this room."

The three of them were really tired, with obvious dark circles under their eyes, so no one talked much. They took a shower and went to bed. Yu Xiangan and Yu Xiangqing put away the things they brought with them.

He had already divided some of them, some for grandma and his family, and some for grandpa and his family.

Zhao Qiaoniang didn't clean up together. She was preparing things to make tofu at home tomorrow.

She no longer has any temporary work to do and she is on a long vacation. It is foreseeable that she will be out of work for the next few months.

This year has been pretty good. I have been working for half a year and have earned a lot of money.

To make tofu, you first need to soak the beans, then grind them with a stone mill to get the soy milk. The soy milk is then filtered with gauze, boiled, and placed in a jar with brine to precipitate. Finally, put it into a mold and use a stone to press out excess water, and the tofu is ready.

There are a lot of steps, and tomorrow's entire morning will be spent on them.

Before Yu Xiangyan fell asleep, Yu Xianghai shared a piece of news with him.

Liang Yong came back yesterday. He had already prepared the sack and was waiting for him.
