"Is Uncle Ma gay?" The big girl poked her head out from under Qiao Feng's ribs and asked loudly.
In the past, when their family was still separated, her father Ding Youtian once planted flowers for her mother in the side yard, but as they grew, the branches bent and died not long after.
"Will Uncle Ma die?" If he died, the Ma brothers would be without a father, which would be very pitiful.
Tian leaned over the stove and looked towards the kitchen door. When she saw the two of them, her old face turned red, thinking that she was afraid that they had seen what had just happened.
She gouged her eyes at Ma Fuquan again, remembering what the girl had just asked. She raised her eyebrows and said, "What the hell is this? How come Auntie didn't understand what you meant?"
Tian looked at Ma Fuquan and found that his face seemed a little red and he looked a little uncomfortable. This was strange, this man could blush sometimes.
How could she know what Ma Fuquan was thinking? He never dreamed that his rebirth would be associated with being gay. How could a tough guy like him be gay?
"The flower tree my father planted for my mother grew bent and died. Later, my father tied a wooden stick to it, but it couldn't be saved." The big girl said seriously.
Ma Fuquan coughed lightly. "Well, Uncle Ma won't bend, let alone die. Your aunt said Uncle is not upright. She means that Uncle's back is too straight, too straight."
"What did I say before..." Tian realized halfway through her words and quickly put on a smile and said, "Oh, yes, that's what I meant. What I meant was that your Uncle Ma is so upright, so upright."
Qiaofeng didn't know whether Da Niu had been fooled or not. She only knew that she hadn't been fooled by them. If she had been around seven years earlier, when she was about Da Niu's age, she might have been fooled by them. But she had been through so much in those seven years. What did she know? It wasn't easy to fool her.
"Here, give it to Auntie." Tian took the food box containing the butter cakes from their hands. "After the sweet wine and eggs are cooked, we will start cooking the butter cakes. You guys go play for a while. I'll call you when it's ready."
During the Grand Banquet and National La Festival, there was a custom of using wine lees to cook red dates and eggs. Tian learned the name for sweet wine from Jian Ning, and since the wine lees were so strong, Jian Ning sold them cheaply to the villagers. She made sweet wine from glutinous rice. Some villagers, like the Tians and Changs, had learned how to make sweet wine, but most people were reluctant to use rice, believing it was a waste of grain, and would rather buy the wine lees from Jian Ning for a few cents.
"I'm going to see if Mom is feeling better. Sister Qiaofeng, let's go." The big girl reached out to hold Qiaofeng's hand. Qiaofeng said, "You go first. I'll go to the toilet and then I'll be there."
Qiaofeng wandered around the backyard, then went around to the west window. Tian said Meixiang always stuck to her master, and since her master was injured, she had to help him keep an eye on Meixiang. She had no other skills, but after years of begging, her eyes were very bright. She could tell that Meixiang was hiding something, and she was curious about what she was doing back in the house, so she came over to take a peek.
She tiptoed to the west window, stood on tiptoe and peeked into the room. She saw Meixiang sitting at the table, dressing in front of the mirror. She cursed her inwardly, calling her a vixen. If she was dressing at this hour, was she trying to seduce her master?
Qiaofeng was about to rush in and question her, but then she thought that her dressing up wasn't evidence of seducing her master. Just as she was about to look away, she saw Meixiang put down her comb, then fished out a small porcelain vase from her bosom and examined it.
Qiaofeng was very familiar with this porcelain vase, it was exactly the same as the one that the one-eyed dragon gave to her grandfather. She was shocked. Is Meixiang going to kill her master?
After Meixiang took the porcelain vase and drew her eyebrows in front of the mirror, Qiaofeng tiptoed away, crouching down.
This woman is so vicious. She took advantage of her master's injury and used her beauty to seduce her master. If her master refuses, will she kill him?
The more Qiaofeng thought about it, the angrier she became, but the angrier she became, the calmer she became. She decided to keep a close eye on Meixiang and catch her in the act to see how she would argue.
In the main room, Wei Dong used his inner energy to heal Jian Ning's injuries. She sat cross-legged on the couch, meditating and regulating her breathing. Jian Ning told Huo Jincheng, Ma Xiaomai, and the other children to leave, telling them not to worry about her and that she would be fine after a while.
Huo Jincheng drove Ma Xiaomai, Da Niu and the others out and came back. He saw that Jian Ning's face was still not very good, and thought that she treated A Man well. Children would not lie. If she treated A Man badly, A Man would not make a fuss and refuse to leave before leaving.
"You take a rest, it's okay anyway, I'll sit here and read a book. You are injured, how can you leave no one to watch over you, just rest assured." He took a tube of bamboo slips copied by Ding Youtian from the Three Kingdoms period in his hand, sat by the bed and started to read.
Jian Ning was too tired to care about him. Ever since she knew that he and his original body had been engaged as children, and seeing Huo Jincheng again, she had some subtle changes in her heart.
She suspected that this change came from the soul of her original body, but now she seemed to have merged with the original body and could not tell whose emotions were hers and whose were hers.
Jane Ning drifted off to sleep, and dreamed of the hospital she had visited the night she had traveled back in time. This time, she could clearly see it was the Armed Police Hospital where her unit was stationed. Just like last time, the people coming and going seemed to be unable to see her, and she didn't see a single familiar face.
She turned a corner and suddenly saw Tian in front of her. However, Tian had changed her clothes and was wearing modern clothes. There seemed to be a hint of worry between her brows. She was holding a little girl in one hand and carrying an insulated box in the other.
"Sister Tian, you're here too. Who are you here to see?" Jian Ning stepped forward, but Tian Shi walked past her face to face without even glancing at her. "Sister Tian!"
She shouted again.
Seeing that Tian still ignored her, she raised her foot and followed her.
Tian entered a ward, and Jian Ning followed. When they got inside, they saw the quartermaster, Yu Dahai, there too. Seeing Tian, he stood up and called out, "Sister-in-law." Then, he smiled and greeted the little girl, "Hey, Xiaorui, I haven't seen you for a few days. You seem to have grown a bit taller."
Jian Ning was startled. He called Tian "sister-in-law." Could it be that something happened to Ma Fuquan again? She hurriedly looked towards the bed. Hey, Captain Wu?
Jane Ning was a little confused about what was going on. In her dream, she remembered that she saw Captain Wu with a nasogastric tube inserted in his nose last time. This time, there was no tube inserted, but he looked like he had been unconscious for a long time.
"Thank you for your hard work, Lao Yu. Fortunately, you comrades come to visit Lao Wu every now and then. He knows everything in his heart. He knows everything. Thank you."
"Don't say that, sister-in-law. Lao Wu will definitely wake up. With you taking care of him like this, he will wake up sooner or later. I found two books he likes to read. You can try reading them to him. He used to love tinkering with these books. Maybe it will help."
Jian Ning saw Yu Dahai handing two books to Tian. She leaned over to take a look. They were books about electricity. She was about to ask Yu Dahai how he knew the military team needed such books right now, but when she looked up, she found Yu Dahai looking at her with a puzzled look.
Her heart skipped a beat. Finally, someone could see her?
"Old Yu."
"Um, Lao Yu? Who is Lao Yu?"
She had just greeted Yu Dahai when a sudden voice sounded above her head, which sounded somewhat familiar. She looked up and met Huo Jincheng's gaze.
