Although grandma repeatedly refused and mother Qiu was helpless, Qiu Yuling still insisted that these must be taken, otherwise she would not let grandma go back.
There wasn't anything good in it, and Qiu Yuling just regretted that she couldn't take out the things in her space and show them off in public.
Okay, Mother Qiu didn't intend to refuse. If the conditions allowed, who wouldn't want to take care of their parents more?
The sun was setting and it was not so hot anymore. A sack of wheat straw was placed on the donkey cart. Qiu Yuling did not ask her mother for help. She carried her grandmother onto the cart by herself and jumped on without saying a word.
Mother Qiu has become very numb and doesn't want to care about her daughter who is a traitor.
"Oh, go!"
With a shout from Qiu's mother, the donkey cart started slowly. Qiu Yuling leaned on her grandmother's shoulder and for the first time looked forward to growing up quickly.
She carefully told her grandma to eat what she should eat, drink what she should drink, rest when she should rest, and take good care of herself. When she grows up, she will take her grandma to her own home, and then she will not have to do anything and can just wait to enjoy her life.
Mother Qiu listened to her like a little adult, and felt sad and bitter in her heart.
Even though it was moving slowly, the car still managed to get into the Shangquan Team of the Quanshan Brigade.
After tying up the donkey, Li Qingmei and Qiu Yuling took things and helped someone.
I thought I had to roll up my sleeves and work, cleaning the house for Grandma Yuling, but I didn't expect the table to be clean when I got in. It was obvious that someone had cleaned it. No one had informed me before I came, and they didn't know I would be back today, which means someone cleans it every day.
"Your aunt is very considerate." Mother Qiu knew that neither her eldest brother nor her fourth brother was the type to worry about such things, so it was obvious who did it.
"I told you to worry less. I'm lucky in this life. My sons are all honest and straightforward, and my daughters-in-law are all very smart." Grandma Yuling never blames her daughters-in-law. She is a rare good mother-in-law with a clear vision and a bright mind.
They responded with kindness, and the daughters-in-law all said nothing to her.
Qiu Yuling finally felt relieved. Mother Qiu thought since she was already here, she might as well make dinner before leaving, but Yuling's grandmother wouldn't let her do that.
"Hurry back, we still have to prepare meals for our family. My son-in-law and Dashan have been working all day and are cutting grass after work. They are late when they come home. You can still give them a ready meal."
While opening the closet to put things in, he continued, "I can still do it. How can you be so old and still do it? Come home."
He called Qiu Yuling over and took out something wrapped in a handkerchief from the secret compartment of the wardrobe. As he unpacked it, he said, "This is your fourth aunt's betrothal gift. She and her son-in-law discussed it privately. She said she would definitely go with the army and that she couldn't take the big items with her, so she asked for a betrothal gift of 100 yuan.
This money wasn't allowed to be shared openly; it was given to me privately. On the surface, they were revolutionary partners, and didn't ask for a gift or dowry. But in reality, the son-in-law was very kind to Qingju. I also saved some of it earlier."
As he spoke, he opened his handkerchief, counted out twenty yuan and handed it to Qiu Yuling.
"Grandma, what are you doing? I don't want it. If you have money, you should buy yourself some delicious food and keep yourself strong so that I can pick you up and enjoy life in the future."
The old lady was amused by her granddaughter's persistence in wanting to take her to enjoy the good life, but she still didn't take back the hand holding the money. "Hurry up and take it. This money belongs to me. You can spend it on whoever you want. It's yours now. Even your mother is not allowed to take it back."
Excluding the eighty, my grandmother had only saved a little over twenty years in total. I don't know how many years it took. As a widowed old lady, she raised a bunch of children, and married off those who were supposed to get married. She herself had bound feet and could not go to work or earn work points. She relied on the little work she did at home to make cloth and hemp rope to exchange for a little money. I don't know how long it took her to save.
Qiu Yuling felt that the money was extremely hot, but she couldn't refuse it.
"Mom, what are you doing? As a mother, how can I let my daughter suffer? How can I need your help? Please take it back. This is not right." Li Qingmei felt that she had never been filial to her mother, but in return she asked her mother to subsidize her family. This was not the right thing to do.
If the money could be pushed back so easily, the old lady wouldn't have taken it out to make it conspicuous.
However, Li Qingmei had no choice but to compromise, and Qiu Yuling took the money and held it carefully.
Grandma looked at it and took out a small purse the size of a palm from the bag under the cupboard and handed it to Qiu Yuling. Seeing that she didn't know how to use it, she asked her to take off her shoes and stand on a stool. After she stood higher, she passed the purse string through the belt buckle on her pants and took it out to hang it up.
"It can hold money and candy." Grandma looked at Qiu Yuling with a smile.
This purse was more exquisite than all the previous embroidery, and Qiu Yuling's homesickness was slightly distracted.
At the urging of Grandma Yuling, Mother Qiu had no choice but to untie the rope that tied the donkey and rush back with her daughter.
Qiu Yuling leaned back on the straw bale, holding a piece of dogtail grass in her mouth, her eyes were dull and she didn't say a word.
Mother Qiu thought she was just in a bad mood, so she didn't pay much attention to her and just shouted at the donkey to hurry on.
Qiu Yuling's consciousness indeed sank into the space farm.
She hasn't been in there once recently. She just collects the products every day and piles them up there. She hasn't had time to sell them yet.
It's the end of June, and it's time to harvest the crops.
She harvested all the crops in one go, leaving only a small amount of stock, and gambled away the rest.
Looking at the points coins beeping up, I still feel that it is still a little short, a little short.
Since this is the case, there is no need to hold back and continue with production.
Qiu Yuling opened up another 20 acres of land in one go, and planted soybeans, mung beans, black beans, red beans, peanuts; carrots, cabbage, green vegetables, bamboo shoots, lettuce, taro; garlic, shallots, perilla, mint... everything you can think of.
Two acres were also left to exchange for flower seeds, including gallnut, indigo, madder, gardenia, rose, rose, and Chinese rose.
She even consciously expanded the populations of livestock and poultry such as chickens, ducks, pigs, cows, and sheep, and began to raise tens of thousands of them.
The points coins fell back again, and her lost heart was miraculously healed as if she had shopped online on Double Eleven.
When returning the donkey cart, Qiu Yuling showed off her new purse to Mr. Qiu Wu, who was in charge of the livestock. Qiu's mother shook her head and smiled, saying that she was still a child after all.
He didn't rush to call her. He added fodder to the donkey and went home to cook first.
"Qingmei is back. Did Aunt Li send her back?" On the way, they met Zhang Wanhua, who had just finished work and came back to cook.
"Well, it's time to harvest the wheat. Is Sister Hua rushing back to cook?"
"That's right. I'm busy with these things every day. I don't know what the point of living is." Zhang Wanhua complained jokingly.
"Don't talk nonsense. Life is getting better and better with hope. You are busy arranging a marriage for your son and your daughter, and you don't have enough work to do. Others have even less." Mother Qiu said with a smile.
Zhang Wanhua just said this, and she felt in her heart that the days were getting better and better.
