The arrival of the two brothers, Dahu and Xiaohu, didn't even attract Wu Tiejun's attention.
"Huh? Isn't this the lame dog?" Wang Xiaohu walked around Wanjin twice. Is he completely healed?
"Gouzi, come here." Wan Jinbi was even colder to Wu Tiejun than before, and didn't even roll his eyes at him.
"Tsk tsk tsk, you can even eat birds. You live a better life than your brother Tiger." Wang Xiaohu didn't have much affection for any living creature that could compete with him for food. He turned his head and looked at the bird that Wu Tiejun was roasting.
"Tiejun, give this to me first after it's roasted. That little thing looks full." As for whether it was really full or just pretending, Wang Xiaohu felt that there was no need to be so serious about it.
Wu Tiejun raised his eyelids and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth. However, the anger in his heart was almost dissipated by the shameless man's approach, but he could still hold it back.
Wang Dahu consciously went to pick up dry firewood. He was not as fierce as Xiaohu, so he approached as if nothing had happened.
"Hey, do you know? At noon, we heard Qiao Yunyun's grandmother tell us about the inverted foot fairy..."
Wang Xiaohu imitated the old lady's expression when telling ghost stories, which was so lifelike that not only did Wu Tiejun unconsciously blow the roasted bird to cool it down before handing it to him, but even the knowledgeable Qiu Yuling was impressed by his performance.
What a talent! In the future, wouldn't this be a perfect blogger on Tianya?
Wang Dahu put down the firewood and took over the task of roasting the bird. He would occasionally check and fill in the gaps in his brother's story. The atmosphere was unknowingly controlled by the two brothers.
Wang Xiaohu took the time to give his brother a look. How was it? This trick always worked. Qiu Yuling pretended not to notice the eye-to-eye fight. Seeing that Wan Jin had almost finished eating, she said hello and stood up to go back. Wu Tiejun was still asking...
The days passed slowly, and Li Qingju also finished her leave and went back to work.
Grandma Yuling did all the chores inside and outside the house, including her future grandson's bedding, clothes, winter and summer shirts, diapers, sheets, head protectors ("covers sewn at the ends of the quilt"), pillowcases. She sewed whatever could be sewn, pieced together whatever could be pieced together, and in short, she did all the chores she could do.
She and her granddaughter also packed their bags. When they went back, it was just her and her granddaughter. Her daughter prepared a bunch of cotton, cloth, food and other things, and planned to send them back before leaving, so as to avoid the inconvenience of the two of them, one old and one young, carrying too much luggage.
"Mom, I told Qingtong in my last letter not to panic when you leave the station." Ever since she was four months pregnant, Li Qingju's belly had suddenly grown much bigger, as if it had been inflated.
The old lady unfolded her daughter's head scarf while she settled her little girl. Although she had an appetite now, she couldn't go hungry. She was in a good time now. If she could give birth, she must go to the hospital. She probably wouldn't be able to come by then...
There are always countless reminders before leaving, but no matter how many words are said, it cannot affect the departure time. "Good Yuling, be careful on the way and take good care of grandma. Write me a letter when you arrive, okay?"
Originally, I told Li Qingju not to come and send her off, fearing the tearful scene at this moment. "Aunt, I'm taking grandma in. Grandma left something for you under her pillow in the room where she sleeps. Remember to get it when you go back."
The crowd carried them forward, and the following words drifted to Li Qingju's ears intermittently. Li Qingju cried even harder. Her husband had gone out on a mission again. Now she was alone with her big belly, crying in the wind. She waved in the direction of the train until it started to move.
"Comrade, the train has left, hurry back." The station staff couldn't bear to see this and came over to persuade him. Li Qingju rubbed her swollen eyelids and said "hmm" in a hoarse voice.
"Grandma, slow down." Zhou Chuanwu asked someone to reserve a sleeper ticket for her in advance. Qiu Yuling stuffed the backpack carrying Wan Jin under their lower bunk, and first opened the kettle to pour some water for grandma.
Grandma put fifty yuan under her pillow, and Qiu Yuling added another fifty yuan. However, grandma didn't know that her aunt would just think that her mother was using her life savings to support herself.
In fact, she usually leaks a little here and fills it in a little there, but she doesn't brag about it and take credit for it.
It's not that she is pretending to be a saint. She has plenty of money, but she has no legitimate source of it, so her money cannot be obtained in a clear way and cannot be taken out in her own name.
But people are all made of flesh and blood. She has already benefited from the kindness others have shown her. Shouldn't she give some compensation under limited conditions?
"Ah? It's full? Didn't you say that tickets aren't sold at the station, and as long as you get on the train and find an empty seat, you can get a sleeper berth?"
"Shh, be quiet, don't shout, and look ahead..."
A man and a woman just came in. The woman had a sullen face and started to scold the man angrily after just one glance. The man hurriedly coaxed the woman to go to the back, and his voice gradually became smaller. It was estimated that he was checking each section one by one.
At this moment, the train attendants are not that dedicated, unless special groups of people are sitting in special carriages, they will be greeted and given special attention.
In an ordinary carriage like theirs, it's possible for someone to take advantage of loopholes, but they shouldn't be so blatant. Qiu Yuling wondered if they were short of staff on this new route?
After thinking about it, she whispered to Wanjin and told him not to bark unless some bad guys rummaged through their things.
Wanjin also followed his master's lead and woofed softly, indicating that he understood.
"Little girl, this dog is very well-behaved. It must be six months old, right?" Qiu Yuling said "hmm" but didn't say how old it was exactly.
Her grandmother was also a little upset. She was happy when she came, but hesitant when she left. She had to hurry up and comfort her own old lady.
"Grandma, don't be sad. You will live a very long time. Believe me, Auntie will be able to return home, and we can still visit Auntie and her little kids. If they don't behave, I'll help you beat them up."
Qiu Yuling understood her grandmother's sadness. It was simply because her fourth aunt had gone too far away. It was not an easy task for either party to travel back and forth. What's more, she felt that she was already sixty years old and did not have that long to live, so she was particularly reluctant to let her go.
Of course, Qiu Yuling really has the ability to make her grandmother live to at least a hundred years old, but her grandmother just thought that she was just talking childishly to cheer her up. She held her granddaughter's hand and patted it again and again, but she didn't feel much better in her heart.
Qiu Yuling felt the need to earn money was urgent. These special-function pills were too expensive, and the money she was earning wasn't enough to improve her current predicament. Her parents worked hard all year round, her brother was still growing up, and her grandmother was already thinking about taking photos of herself and making funeral clothes...
