Chapter 55: She has been busy with this

Chen Xiang stayed in the crib for a while.

The sky outside the window was turning gray, and it seemed that it was getting late.

She didn't delay any longer and got up immediately.

By this time, Zhou's mother had already fed the pigs, made breakfast, and even helped her light the stove. There were plump sweet potatoes buried in the sand.

Everything you need is in the car.

She can just push the car.

No need to bother.

After finishing her work, Zhou's mother saw her daughter-in-law had washed her face, and quickly grabbed a hot corn cake from the pot.

She blew over and said, "Xiaoxiang, come and eat quickly."

"You can't skip breakfast like you did yesterday. People tend to collapse easily if they skip breakfast. You'll have a stomachache then!"

Chen Xiang reached out, took it, and took a bite.

It was so hot that she was hissing. Haha.

Zhou's mother looked at the innocent expression on the girl's face and couldn't help but smile: "Slow down, slow down, don't burn your teeth."

Chen Xiang was chewing something and responded vaguely: "Hmm..."

"Sit down and eat."

Zhou's mother pulled over a small stool for her daughter-in-law to sit on, and also brought some side dishes and placed them in front of her.

Chen Xiang was halfway through her meal when she suddenly looked up and asked, "By the way, Mom, how was Dad last night? Is he feeling better?"

“So much better!”

"real?"

Mother Zhou: "Your father fell into a drowsy sleep after taking the medicine yesterday afternoon. I saw him sleeping soundly last night and he didn't wake up once."

"If you knew about this disease, how could you let him sleep so soundly?"

Chen Xiang pursed her lips and smiled: "That's good."

It seems that the nutrient solution is working.

Zhou's mother stopped scooping water and frowned slightly, a little puzzled: "It's strange, the effect of this medicine was not so good after I took it before."

"Maybe it's just like you said, there's something wrong with the medicine!"

Chen Xiang comforted Zhou's mother softly, "It's okay, Mom. After a few days, when I save some money, I will take my dad to see a Chinese doctor in Changling City."

"Then we can ask the doctor there to see if this medicine can be taken regularly."

The daughter-in-law's words made sense, so Zhou's mother would definitely listen to her.

"OK……"

Zhou's mother couldn't help but complain, "In the end, it's still the daughter who has to worry about this. Giving birth to a son is useless..."

She added, "Xiaoxiang, I'll take you to the commune later."

"OK."

Chen Xiang took a bite of the cake and nodded in agreement.

In the morning, Zhou's mother fried eggs for her.

She looked at the eggs in the bowl and suddenly thought of an idea. She looked up and said, "Mom, when you go out later, can you give me some eggs from home?"

Zhou's mother was stunned: "You want to eat it? I haven't cooked it yet. Is it too late for me to cook it now?"

Chen Xiang shook her head: "No need to cook."

“I’m going to sell it with the sweet potatoes!”

Zhou's mother: "Then I'll give it to you now."

As she was talking, Zhou's mother got up and went into the house, and took out all the eggs hidden beside the legs of the cabinet.

She returned to the kitchen and showed the basin to her daughter-in-law: "Take all these away."

The eggs at home are usually placed in a basin by Zhou's mother. Now the basin is half full. The eggs in it are round and cute.

Chen Xiang took a look and said, "Should we keep some at home?"

“No need to stay!”

"The chickens in the backyard are enough to eat now..." Zhou's mother put the chickens and eggs in the car, and then covered them with the rice dumplings leaves.

…

With yesterday's experience, the two were much more relaxed today.

Chen Xiangan finished her breakfast peacefully, and at 5:15, she rode out on her bike. Zhou's mother closed the fence door and turned around to catch up with her daughter-in-law to help push the bike.

Wait until Chen Xiang and the others leave.

Zhou Dongmeng's tall figure slowly walked out from behind the house.

His brows were tightly knitted, and there was an impenetrable thick mist in his deep eyes, which was even darker than the night.

Zhou Dongmeng followed them from a distance.

Watching Chen Xiang riding the tricycle with difficulty, her mother pushed even harder.

He gritted his teeth and tightened his hands hanging at his sides.

original……

She has been busy with this these two days.

Zhou Dong pursed his lips tightly, his heart completely sinking.

They walked for a long time and finally arrived at the commune. When they stopped, I don't know what they said. The mother turned around and went back, but the girl continued walking forward.

Where else is she going?

The man was somewhat confused.

He frowned, raised his feet and followed, walking for more than ten minutes.

When he realized that she was heading towards the county town, Zhou Dong paused slightly.

The expression on his face was unclear.

He has walked this road many times. It is the only way to get to the construction site every day.

When he left before, I didn't feel anything.

But now, seeing this girl riding a bike all alone and struggling, he felt a surge of sadness in his heart, making him irritable for no reason.

Zhou Dongmeng stood behind a tree beside the road, looking at Chen Xiang getting farther and farther away.

He exhaled slowly.

I followed her all the way, and finally saw the girl arrive at the county high school, where she went to greet the guard with a smile.

Zhou Dongmeng stood there for a long time before turning around and leaving in silence.

—

Chen Xiang parked the car at the same location as yesterday.

First, she dug out a sweet potato and an egg from the sand. She had put the egg there on the road and wrapped it with a layer of rice dumplings leaves.

At this time, the rice dumplings leaves have been roasted to a golden brown, and the eggs inside are just cooked.

Chen Xiang cleaned the sweet potatoes, removed the rice dumplings from the eggs, and came to the guard booth with the two items in her hands: "Thank you, good morning."

Mr. Xie is still dressed the same as yesterday.

He was wearing a black work suit and a green military coat draped over his shoulders.

When Chen Xiang came in, he was holding the morning paper in his hands and reading it attentively through his reading glasses.

After hearing the voice, Old Xie raised his head and peered over his reading glasses. When he saw that it was Chen Xiang, he immediately smiled, took off his reading glasses and stood up: "Come on, come on, little comrade."

He raised his hand and beckoned Chen Xiang to the stove.

"Haven't you eaten yet?" he asked.

Then he took out a lunch box and handed it to her: "Before I left this morning, I asked my wife to cook some eggs for you."

Chen Xiangliang took out the egg in his hand and smiled: "What a coincidence, brother Xie, I got you an egg too."

Old Xie was stunned: "..."

The lunch box was hanging in the air for a moment, in a dilemma whether to give it or not.

In the end, Chen Xiang took the lunch box first.

Then he placed the sweet potato and egg on the table and said with a smile, "Take turns and eat them."

Old Xie nodded and said, "Young comrade, sit down and warm yourself by the fire first. The students will have to wait a while before they can arrive."

"Okay, I'll bother you for a while then."

Chen Xiang didn't bother to be polite with him and pulled over a chair and sat down.

Old Xie: "What do you mean by disturbing me?"

The reason why he was restrained was because he thought the other person was a little girl. Now it seems that this little girl is much more straightforward than a man.

Mr. Xie gradually loosened his hands and feet and sat down again.

He asked, "Did you go to the steel factory yesterday?"

Chen Xiang nodded: "Yes, it is very lively there."
