"Second Aunt, Yuling, wash your hands and let's eat."
For lunch, I made noodles, fried chives, stir-fried pork with green peppers, and a cucumber with mashed garlic.
Li Qinglian was better off after all, and was willing to use more oil when cooking. Qiu Yuling felt that the quality of this meal was almost as good as that of a chef, and it seemed that her appetite had increased a little.
Qiu Yuling held the large bowl, put a spoonful of sour chives on the wide noodles, added a spoonful of chili oil, and then covered it with green peppers and shredded pork. She picked up the chopsticks and stirred it. The bowl of white noodles turned red and exuded an indescribable fragrance.
After eating the noodles, Qiu Yuling scooped a spoonful of noodle soup. She held the bowl, put a spoonful of chives in it, scraped the remaining vegetables on the edge of the bowl into the bowl, blew on it, and took a sip. "Ha~" delicious!
"Look at our Yuling, she knows how to eat." Li Qingju was already half full after cooking the meal. At this moment, Qiu Yuling's eating manners were particularly appetizing, and suddenly her noodles also became mouth-watering.
Because there was a play to watch in the afternoon and they didn't rest after dinner, grandma and Qiu Yuling both wanted to help wash the pots. Li Qinglian didn't let anyone go and cleaned up in no time.
Originally, they had planned to ask a neighbor for help to deliver the sewing machine to the car returning to the army. Now, they didn't have to find anyone. Li Qinglian was not at work in the afternoon, so they worked together to put the sewing machine on the back seat. Li Qinglian pushed it in front and Li Qingju supported it from behind, and they easily delivered it to the destination.
"Sister-in-law, let me do it." The young soldier on the vehicle didn't let them do it themselves. He saw it first and lifted the sewing machine onto the vehicle bed.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. Many family members have put their things in the car and are going to work." Perhaps seeing that Li Qingju was a little hesitant, the young soldier took the initiative to comfort her.
Sure enough, the bucket was filled with a lot of things, including a basket of chicks. The little soldier moved the chicks to the shade of the sewing machine, and the wilted chicks began to chirp one after another.
"Okay, thank you, Captain Zhang. I'll take my mom and the others to see a play. I'm sure it won't delay the dispatch."
"Sister-in-law, you're welcome, but hurry up. Aunt Wu and the others have already gone there, so there must be quite a lot of people here by now."
Well, hold on tight.
Li Qinglian has a bicycle, but it can't carry four people.
Finally, with the help of comrades from the People's Liberation Army, Qiu Yuling and grandma sat on the front bumper, and Li Qingju was in the back seat. Li Qinglian leaned on the bike, and the comrades from the People's Liberation Army assisted in a run-up, and Li Qingju successfully pedaled the bike.
When they arrived at the destination, Li Qingjue from the back seat jumped out first. Her belly was a little obvious, and the way she jumped around startled passersby. Then Li Qinglian was able to get out of the car and put down Yuling and her second aunt.
The play hasn't started yet, but outside it's already bustling with activity.
Qiu Yuling felt a little regretful for joining in the fun. Not to mention what happened to the old lady, she was still scared when she thought about what Li Qingju had just done. It was not long ago that Dr. Duan had a miscarriage after falling.
Grandma Yuling obviously had the same thought. Even at this point, she seemed to be in no mood.
But since I'm here, the worst that can happen is that I don't have to squeeze into the crowd.
"Oh, it's also my fault that my legs are short. I can't support the car unless I get out. Is Qingju okay?" Li Qinglian was checking on her cousin at the moment. She hoped that nothing would happen if she got involved. If something happened, she would regret it to death.
"Oh, what's wrong with you? I'm fine. My child was just throwing a tantrum when she first arrived, but she's been so well behaved since her grandma came home."
"That won't do. Let's just stand here under the shade of the tree and listen to the noise. We won't squeeze in."
"That won't work! I can't see anything under the shade of the tree..."
"Qingju, listen to Second Aunt. It's so crowded in there, and you have to be careful as a mother."
Li Qingju's main purpose was to let her mother and niece see the world. It was a rare opportunity for them to witness the excitement.
"Fourth Aunt, stop making trouble, dear. You are going to be a mother, so you must be more careful. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall..."
"Yuling has gone to school yet? This little girl keeps talking, just listen to Yuling." After a complete victory of three to one, Li Qingju had no choice but to lean against the tree stump, holding her belly.
Everyone gathered near the stage, but there weren't many people there, so a few people sat outside waiting for the show to start.
The event started at 2 o'clock sharp, and it began with the classic [Ming Gong Duan].
In her previous life, Qiu Yuling had never felt this kind of cultural atmosphere, but now she was following the singing styles of the old, young and female actors in Peking Opera, and lived a life like Qin Xianglian swallowing the bitter lotus.
It was not until Bao Zheng decided to sacrifice his official position to bring Chen Shimei to justice that the scene erupted in applause, and Qiu Yuling felt that the anger in her heart had been vindicated.
After the first act of the play was over, the onlookers were still not satisfied. Qiu Yuling reminded a few people to retreat before the crowd reacted, otherwise they would be easily trampled.
Such a grand occasion is indeed rare to see. Qiu Yuling knows in her heart that people's spiritual activities are rich only in recent years. In a few years, it will be the dark decade, and people will lose the freedom they have now in speaking and doing things.
Having learned from the experience of coming here, Li Qinglian pushed the cart on the way there. The four of them walked and talked all the way to the intersection just before the city gate.
"Qinglian, don't see me off. Let's go back. It's just in front."
"Okay, auntie, you guys should get on the bus early and take the front seats. I won't follow you. Remember to find me next time you come to the city." At this moment, her second aunt looked a bit like her own mother.
Li Qinglian was choking up as she spoke. It seemed like she hadn't been home for three years. This year, the train was open, and she no longer had to change buses or ox carts every few steps along the way. Li Qinglian secretly made up her mind to go back to her parents' home this year.
There happened to be a play being shown in the city today, and everyone went to join in the fun. As expected, they came back early, so Qiu Yuling took the initiative to reserve a few good seats for them, along with Wu Tiejun and his grandmother.
"Sister Yuling, didn't you go to the theater? I still have sweet soup." Wu Tiejun rushed onto the truck bed like a firecracker. Before he even got on, his voice came first.
"Tiejun, pull your grandma down first." Grandma Wu was supported by someone from behind, with her hands on the rope ladder. She was about to call her eldest grandson for help, but the brat went to show his courtesy to the little girl first.
It was only with the help of the young wife next to her that the old lady was able to come up safely.
"Oh my god, I have to admit I'm getting old. When I was young, I could climb trees like a monkey, but now I can't even climb a car."
Wu Tiejun was just about to go back to fetch his grandma as he was told when he saw her coming over. "Grandma, come quickly. Sister Yuling saved a seat for us. She's so nice of you, thinking of us so much. If only you had brought a bowl with you, I could have brought a bowl of sugar water for Sister Yuling too. It's so sweet, I'm sure she'll love it..."
