Chapter 114 Escape from Earthquake Disaster
When she said this, Shen Hongying next to her looked up. Fubao was a very good girl, filial, sensible, considerate, and caring. She really envied Liu Guizhi for having such a good daughter.
Sad and uncomfortable.
For years, whenever she thought of this, she wanted to slap herself. Why did she force the character "Fu" (blessing) on the fourth child's family? Why did she bully him because he was mute?
But after feeling sad, she thought about her own Niu Dan and Niu Shuan, and saw that they were both grown up and were working with her father and uncle to carry mud bricks and gravel to press the wheat stack. She felt a little relieved.
At least the two sons are quite filial, and their life is much better than Liu Zhaodi's.
As for Fubao… I was so mean back then, bullying the mute Liu Guizhi. This is really karma, karma! I deserve not to have such a wonderful daughter!
Liu Zhaodi felt uncomfortable knowing that Shen Hongying could comfort herself in this way.
Bao Ni from Liu Zhaodi's family is working in the mine now and can't come back. Xiuni is about the same age as Fubao, but this child is not good at studying and has stopped going to school a long time ago. Now she does housework at home and works to earn work points, but she is not motivated and has no manners and is ignorant. Fubao knows how to get his grandmother's legs massaged to please her, but she only knows how to rush to the campfire to warm her hands. As for Dongni, she is an even more ignorant idiot!
Liu Zhaodi looked at Niu Dan and Niu Shuan, then at Tusheng from Niu Sanni's family, and then at Gu Shengtian from Liu Guizhi's family, and found that they all had sons, but she didn't.
I feel so sad!
At this moment, Miao Xiuju was still hugging Fubao, and said with a smile: "You are really grandma's good granddaughter. You know what, Fubao helped me with this pounding, and my leg really doesn't hurt anymore!"
Niu Sanni: "Fubao was born with a pair of clever hands. She can do anything. Of all your granddaughters, Fubao is the most clever!"
When her own daughter Zaochun heard this, she didn't care. Zaochun was an honest child. She usually kept her head down and worked, and didn't like to say much. She was very different from her mother's personality. She was an honest hardworking person.
Liu Zhaodi felt unbalanced. She thought about it and wanted to praise her own daughter, but then she looked at Xiuni, who was useless, and Dongni, who was ignorant. Finally, after thinking about it, she decided to praise Baoni: "Boni is working in the mine. I heard that the mine can get coal slag. I will ask Baoni to get some and use it to burn in the stove for our parents to warm their hands and legs. It will be good for their cold legs."
After she said that, Gu Dayong was stunned, Miao Xiuju was stunned, Niu Sanni was stunned, and even Shen Hongying was stunned.
Finally, Shen Hongying said with a smile, "You don't know? Baoni didn't even tell you, her mother? Baoni had already gotten coal slag for her grandmother and used it a long time ago! You didn't even know..."
Liu Zhaodi: “…”
After a long while, she blushed and said, "I got it... This damn girl, why didn't she say anything..."
She didn't even know about her daughter's affairs!
She's actually still here bragging about how great her daughter is? Her daughter doesn't even have anything to say to her as a mother!
Liu Zhaodi felt like she was slapped three times.
Shen Hongying and the others beside her were also holding back, just smiling slightly, wanting to say something but holding it back.
Everyone knows that Bonnie has always been at odds with Liu Zhaodi and has no close relationship with this mother. But now, she is really slapping Liu Zhaodi in the face.
But think about it, it's what you deserve. Who told you to favor boys over girls? Who told you to call me a dead girl all the time?
Bao Ni is a hot-tempered person and has a grudge against Liu Zhaodi. Otherwise, why would she rather hire Yuehua from the fourth room than Xiuni when recruiting workers?
Miao Xiujiu looked at Liu Zhaodi's embarrassed look and was too lazy to say anything. This was how her daughter-in-law's life would be. But now was a time of trouble and the family had to unite. She just brought up a random topic and changed the subject. Finally, everyone stopped thinking about this.
The family talked in front of the campfire for a while, and then threw the beans, sweet potatoes and other things they brought with them into the fire to roast and eat. The beans made a crackling sound when they were put in, and the sweet potatoes were slowly roasted and simmered inside, and the cooked and sweet aroma emanated, making people's appetites whet.
Niu Dan used a fire poker to pull out the roasted sweet potatoes and distributed them to everyone one by one. They were hot in his hands, and he kept changing hands and blowing on them before they were finally ready to eat. The sweet potatoes were black and gray on the outside, but after peeling them, there was golden soft flesh inside. They were soft, sticky and sweet, and everyone was so delicious that they just breathed in.
In the middle of winter, my hands are so cold that they are stiff. It’s such a pleasure to eat a piece of roasted sweet potato.
After eating the roasted sweet potatoes and drinking a few sips of water brought in the thermos, everyone lay in the wheat pile and looked at the sky. The sky was still overcast, there was no moon, no stars, and the monotonous night was endless. The shadowy and undulating silhouette of the Big Rolling Mountain in the south became the only embellishment of this dark and gloomy winter.
The surroundings were very quiet, with only the clucking of chickens from somewhere and the grunting of pigs from the production team.
Everyone huddled together, several people under one quilt, leaning on each other for warmth.
Originally, Fubao and Gu Shengtian went to school in recent years and had been away from their cousins. Now, Fubao and Zaochun were living next to Miao Xiujiu, while Gu Shengtian was hanging out with Niu Dan and Niu Shuan. It reminded them of their childhood playtime and brought them a sense of closeness and emotion.
That night, everyone slept for a while, but soon woke up from the cold, so some people added firewood to the campfire to keep warm, while others ran and jumped on the road.
The night passed like this.
The next day, dawn came and the sun came out, but nothing happened.
At this time, some people are hungry, tired, uncomfortable, and homesick, so some people wonder: "Is something really going to happen? I think the weather is pretty good today."
Someone echoed: "Yes, yes, the sky is clearing up now, right?"
A little child cried, "I want to go home!"
The women were worried: "I have to go home to get the bed and quilt. Let's go back."
Someone even suggested: "Let's go back and get some more food!"
At this time, Huo Jinyun was accompanying Chen Youfu to look around at the big guys. He frowned when he heard this.
He looked at Fubao with an inquiring look.
Fubao frowned and shook his head slightly.
Huo Jinyun immediately said to Chen Youfu, "Since you're out now, don't go back. What if you run into them? After all, none of us can predict when this will happen."
Of course Chen Youfu believed Huo Jinyun.
In his eyes, Huo Jinyun is a living god.
Chen Youfu began shouting through the loudspeaker: "Everyone, you must overcome difficulties and have the spirit to endure hardships. We have come out this time, and we can't just go back. Going back just like that would be a lack of discipline!"
What he said actually persuaded most of the people. Some sighed, some hung their heads, and some looked at their homes and wanted to cry.
But at least, most people were persuaded.
After all, you have to go to the warm and comfortable kang. Life is more important, and being alive is the most important thing.
But some people just don't believe it.
For example, Nie Laosan's wife was not convinced: "I only followed my family out because Shengjin persuaded me. In fact, I don't believe it at all. What is this? What is this? Why can't I even go back to get something?"
Everyone was somewhat moved by her words, and felt that there seemed to be some truth in them.
But, something seems to be wrong?
Chen Youfu frowned and stared at Nie Laosan's wife: "Who among you still thinks you should go back? Whoever thinks that nothing will happen if you go back, then go back!"
When he roared like that, other people's little thoughts immediately disappeared.
I have lived for most of my life and have to be careful in everything, listen to the party and follow the leader.
The captain has said so, they have to listen.
But Nie Laosan's wife refused to listen and said with a mocking look on her face: "I don't believe it. Am I so unlucky? I went home to get something, how could something happen at this time? Besides, we don't know if it's true or not!"
Huo Jinyun pursed her lips and stopped talking.
He is a scholar with a gentle temperament and speaks in a flowery manner. He really doesn't know how to talk to this fierce rural woman.
Chen Youfu didn't say anything.
Over the years, he was really annoyed with Nie Lao San's wife. If he were not the team leader, he would really want to slap her in the face and tell her to never say goodbye again.
It makes me annoyed when I hear it.
So at this moment, Chen Youfu waved his hand weakly, signaling Huo Jinyun: "Let's go and look somewhere else."
As for Nie Lao San's wife, he really couldn't control her and couldn't manage her.
Seeing that Chen Youfu had left her alone, Nie Laosan's wife was immediately pleased with herself: "You guys, if you want to stay here like idiots, just stay. I'm going back to get food. I'm going to get a quilt and some dry food. See if you're jealous!"
When Shengjin saw this, he quickly grabbed his mother and said, "Mom, you'd better not go back. Listen to Uncle Youfu."
Nie Laosan's wife didn't listen: "Why? Nothing happened all night, why would something happen in just a moment?"
Sheng Jin had nothing to say. He sighed and said, "Then mother, I will go back with you."
Everyone watching this scene couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh, saying that Shengjin was a very filial child, but it was a pity that he had such a mother.
Nie Laosan's wife: "No need, you stay here, I'll be back soon."
When Nie Laosan saw the situation, he called Shengjin to help him with the haystack. Shengjin had no choice but to go over.
Nie Laosan's wife walked home with a swagger.
After Nie Laosan's wife left, everyone couldn't help but have some thoughts. They looked at the sky, the mountains, and the snow. Everything was very quiet, and it didn't look like anything was going to happen.
So someone murmured, should we go back and take a look?
Others also had the idea. After all, it was too cold here and they were short of food and clothing. What was wrong with going home?
Who knew that just as he woke up, he heard a loud noise coming from the Big Roller Mountain in the south, followed by a rumbling sound, and the snow on the Big Roller Mountain also shook violently.
The momentum was as if the sky was about to collapse and the earth was about to crack, a scene of destruction.
This time, everyone was dumbfounded and stunned.
This, this, this...what a sin!
Shengjin suddenly jumped up: "Mom!"
As he said this, he rushed into the village.
Nie Laosan was so frightened that he quickly hugged Shengjin: "My son, my son, please don't let anything happen to you!"
Chen Youfu stared at the mountain with wide eyes, watching the rocks and snow rolling down. He gritted his teeth and roared, "No one is allowed to return to the village. Anyone who does will be beaten to death!"
