The father and son quickly got on the car from the back and sat in the truck bed. They were so glad that Lian Xiaomin was there to help them. How come things went so smoothly?
They took the clothes and saw that they were new.
One is dark gray, one is navy blue, and there are short-sleeved tops and pants. It's really thoughtful.
The truck bed was covered with cloth and was very tight. They quickly put it on and started eating.
As soon as they opened the lunch box, they were stunned again.
Especially Zheng Haichao, his eyes immediately turned red.
When has he ever eaten rice or white flour buns in the past two years?
A full lunch box and two stir-fried dishes... Ever since Zheng Ying was sent down to the countryside, the family's life has been miserable and they haven't eaten anything like this.
Originally they all lived in the provincial capital, and Tan Fanghua also had a job as a tailor in Garment Factory No. 2.
Later, he was implicated, lost his job, and returned to his hometown in Xiliangtun with his two children.
Tian Changsheng, the production team leader of Xiliangtun, was not a good person. He usually embezzled public funds and treated the educated youth badly.
Whoever gives gifts will be assigned easy work, and whoever doesn't give gifts will be assigned the most tiring work.
He had always looked down on the Zheng family. They had a person like Zheng Ying, who was able to work in a film studio in the provincial capital. Once they fell into trouble, he would definitely add insult to injury.
So Tan Fanghua has suffered a lot in the past two years taking care of her two children.
Zheng Haichao is seventeen years old this year. His family had a good life when he was a child. But after his father, the pillar of the family, got into an accident, he returned to Xiliang Village and that was the end of it. He fell into a hard life.
When I saw the food, the first thing I thought of was to save it for my mother and brother.
Zheng Ying saw that he was stunned and didn't move his chopsticks, and knew what her son was thinking.
"Forget it, just eat it. Don't let it go bad in this hot weather."
Zheng Haichao was still reluctant to pick up his chopsticks. Thinking that his mother was about to die and hadn't even had a bite of fine food, he couldn't swallow it...
Zheng Ying patted her eldest son on the shoulder and asked him to look to the side. There were two large baskets with grain bags in them, as well as two pieces of cloth and some scattered items.
I know clearly in my heart that Master Lian is a very good person. This must be for my family.
"Haichao, look, Dad's benefactor, Master Lian, must have prepared food for the family. When we get home, he will cook rice porridge for your mother and younger brother. You can eat yours."
"... Dad still has a lot of money, which he will give to Master Lian. Although it is far from enough compared to what she gave me... We must keep this kindness in our hearts, and there will always be a day to repay it."
Zheng Haichao wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, nodded heavily, and then started eating with big mouthfuls.
Before dawn in the morning, he quietly left the adobe house and hid in the back mountain.
It's already two o'clock in the afternoon and I haven't eaten anything. Now I'm holding the lunch box and eating something. It smells so good.
I sighed in my heart, there is so much oil and water in that dish!
(In fact, Lian Xiaomin is not very good at frying, and her hands shook so much that the oil bottle almost fell into the pot.)
The slices of meat are really big!
(It’s too hard to cut, I can just cut it…)
…
After the meal, the father and son started burping. They ate everything except five steamed buns.
The rest of the time, I just lie down in the truck and rest.
The truck never stopped and headed towards Yuan County. Lian Xiaomin asked Zheng Ying and found out the approximate direction of Qi.
Three hours later, when we were almost there, I called Zheng Ying from the back to sit in the front passenger seat and showed her the way to Xiliangtun.
At about half past five, we were close to the village and could not drive any further.
Zheng Ying guided the car and found a secluded and deserted forest to park.
They waited until it was getting dark before they dared to enter the village. Fortunately, the Zheng family lived in the most remote place at the end of the village, so they wouldn't be easily seen by going around from the back.
Zheng Ying wore a big straw hat to cover her face and let her son take the lead.
Zheng Haichao was not afraid of being seen since he was a villager, so he went to investigate first.
Lian Xiaomin took out two backpacks, one for herself and one for Zheng Ying.
"I also carried a bag of rice, a bag of noodles, and a bucket of oil."
"Master Lian, I still have several hundred dollars in my hand. I will give it to you when I get back. Thank you..."
Lian Xiaomin waved her hand: "Hey, Uncle Zheng, stop talking about this and go home first!"
Soon Zheng Haichao came back and said, "It's okay, everything is normal, let's go!"
The three of them hurriedly ran home under the cover of night, and only felt relieved after they quickly ran into the yard and bolted the door.
Zheng Haichao said that there were no neighbors next to the yard. There was only one household more than 30 meters away, and it was an elderly widower named Mr. Li. Everything would be fine when he got home.
A young boy had been waiting quietly at the door. When he saw his elder brother and father really came back for the first time, he was so excited that he wiped away his tears.
He didn't dare to say a word, and came over obediently to help unload the things and carry them into the house.
After everyone entered the house, Zheng Ying hugged her youngest son and pulled him into her arms: "Xiao Bing, you've grown so tall! Let dad take a look!"
“Dad… wuwuwu…”
Only Zheng Haibing knows what he has been through in the past two days. Once his elder brother left, he felt like he had lost his soul and his mother's life is in danger at any time. No one will help them at this moment. They really have nowhere to turn to and feel helpless.
He was just a teenager, but he was holding on, constantly feeding his mother corn porridge and drinking hot water to induce sweating.
I really don't know how I persisted.
At the same time, I was worried that something might happen to my eldest brother. He didn't bring any food with him, and there was not a single ticket at home. What would he eat on the way?
At such a young age, he was prepared to die together as a family of three. If something happened to his eldest brother or his mother died of illness, he would not live either.
What’s the point of living in this dark day?
Zheng Ying quickly let go of his youngest son. He had to quickly check on his wife.
Lian Xiaomin put down her basket and soybean oil barrel and hurried over. She was also carrying a cross-body travel bag, which was filled with a lot of things.
Of course, it is just used to cover up. If any medicine is needed, it has to be taken from the space under the cover.
Tan Fanghua, who was lying on the kang, had been having a high fever for more than three days. His face was pale and without a trace of blood.
"Fanghua, I'm back, can you hear me? Fanghua..."
It would have been fine if he hadn't seen his wife, but as soon as he saw his wife, Zheng Ying's tears rolled down like pearls from a broken string.
Tan Fanghua didn't react at all and was unconscious at this time.
"Uncle Zheng, let me take a look. I brought some medicine. No matter what, let's try it."
Zheng Ying really didn't expect that Master Lian also had the ability to treat illnesses. She nodded without hesitation and made way to the side.
Lian Xiaomin took off her shoes and got on the kang. She put down her big bag and checked Tan Fanghua first. She heard that he had been hit by a club, so she wanted to see where he was injured.
I soon discovered that there was a swelling on the back of my head. It must be there.
She was also in trouble, thinking it might be a cerebral hemorrhage.
She is not a brain doctor. With the basic surgical treatment she learned in her previous life, she can treat trauma and other things, but she has no way to deal with this kind of brain problem.
