Chapter 443 Moving to a new home!
Jiang Wanwan reached out and held Shen Xingjiang's clear face, tears hanging from the corners of her red eyes: "Don't worry, I won't abandon you, don't grow gray hair for me anymore."
The dim light made the outline of Shen Xingjiang's face more three-dimensional, and the sharpness on his face was well hidden in front of Jiang Wanwan.
"Okay, it won't grow any longer."
She was not feeling well and her emotions were affected by hormones, so Jiang Wanwan's mood was changing.
She cried for a while and then felt better. She wiped her tears and let go of Shen Xingjiang’s face: “Go pack your luggage.”
After moving over there, we will have to slowly vacate the family compound here. When we come back in the future, we will still live at the Shen family's place, and the houses here will be distributed to other soldiers.
Shen Xingjiang packed up most of the luggage and moved it over first. It was not very useful. In a few days, Shen Dazhu and Shen Erzhu would be less busy and come to take the things away.
In the new house in the county town, Chen Xingjiang bought a new iron kettle, enamel washbasin, towel box and wardrobe. What he needed to take away were clothes, shoes and the like, as well as the quilt brought by Ling Xue and the photos hanging on the wall.
They had almost packed two large military packages, and it was getting late when they finished packing, so Shen Xingjiang coaxed Jiang Wanwan to sleep.
In October, the weather in the north begins to cool down.
In order to prevent the radishes and cabbages in the fields from freezing, they had to be moved into the house. Jiang Wanwan and Shen Xingjiang took a lot of seedlings and seeds from the nursery in the spring, and there were a lot of potatoes, radishes and cabbages in the garden.
There is a difference between growing things yourself and buying them outside. Chen Xingjiang dug up all the potatoes and radishes a few days ago, and spent two days tidying up the yard. He stored fifty or sixty cabbages, two large shredded bags of potatoes, and two shredded bags of radishes and mustard greens.
On the day of moving, Bao Erzhuzi drove the donkey cart to help transport the vegetables.
He first went to Old Shen's house, loaded a truck with the carts, swings, rattles and other things made by Shen Yejun and Cheng Wenyuan and sent it to the county town, then returned to bring the vegetables over.
Li Yu took a day off to help pack up. She had grown her hair to shoulder length and was wearing a newly made cotton-padded jacket. She looked refreshed and her temperament was different.
"Sis, do you have anything else to bring besides the food? I'll help you pack it up."
Jiang Wanwan was already dressed, wearing a hat and a scarf.
There was a kind of coldness that made Shen Xingjiang feel that she was cold.
She covered her forehead with sweat and said, "Nothing else. Fu Hansheng and Chu Changfeng will come over to help with the other luggage. Tell your brother-in-law what you want to eat and ask him to order the food."
Li Yu shook his head: "I don't have anything to eat."
I know that Xu Lan and Cheng Lingxue are going to live in the county town to take care of Jiang Wanwan while she gives birth.
There were many people going, and the car had to accommodate both people and luggage. There were so many people, and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to squeeze in the car, so she picked up her bag and walked out: "I'll take Erzhuzi's car."
Without waiting for Jiang Wanwan to say anything, the person had already left.
Li Yu walked to the door and called Erzhuzi, "Erzhuzi, wait for me. I'll take your donkey cart over there."
Bao Erzhu jumped out of the car, made room for himself on the side, and scratched his head in embarrassment, his cheeks flushed. "I thought you were going to ride with them."
Li Yu smiled, found an empty seat beside the car and sat down, holding onto the board to avoid falling off: "There are so many of them, I'm afraid there won't be enough room, I'll take the car with you."
Bao Erzhu nodded: "Is that so."
Before he cracked the whip, he glanced at the car parked at the door and then at Cuihua.
Li Yu saw that he seemed to be worried: "What's wrong with you?"
Bao Erzhu said honestly: "I'll think about it again. I'll buy a car in the future. If one day you want to be with me, I'll let you ride in a four-wheeled car and you can enjoy life."
"Then I bought Cuihua from the production team and let her stay in the pen every day to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks, so that Cuihua no longer had to go out to transport goods."
Cuihua twisted her big donkey's butt and walked harder, humming.
(You are a master with great ambition!)
(My life depends on you!)
After hearing what Bao Erzhu said, Li Yu suddenly laughed.
She is a pretty girl, 70% looks and 30% dressing. She looks cool and delicate, and as tough as a reed.
Bao Erzhu turned his head to take a look and was stunned: "You... you are so beautiful."
"Smile more. You look better when you smile than when you don't smile."
Li Yu is very busy at work every day and hasn't had some free time to enjoy himself for a long time.
She sat on the donkey cart, looking up at the blue sky, below her was black soil, and the biting north wind was just like the one that blew when she was a child, carrying sand with it.
She heard the sound of cracks opening in her heart.
"You know, after my mother died, I was abused and beaten. I ate slop and drank dirty water. My hands were always soaked in ice-cold water in winter. I worked so hard to chop firewood, but I was not qualified to boil a pot of hot water for washing clothes."
"My stepmother abused me, and my biological father was standing by and almost clapping. The leftover food at home went bad and was fed to the dogs instead of being given to me."
"Sometimes I wonder, you say we are all human, why am I living such a miserable life?"
"Everything my mother left me will be sold by them."
"The day Sister Jiang came, I was actually very angry. I sat there washing clothes and they were almost torn to pieces by me."
"But it was she who saved me before leaving."
Li Yu closed his eyes: "Erzhuzi, I don't know how to love people, because I have never been loved since I was a child. I am good to Sister Jiang. She is my lifesaver, and I can pay her back with my life."
"When my mother was alive, my father was good to her and to me. After my mother died, he changed."
"When I was a kid, I even suspected that a monster from the mountains came down and ate my dad, then transformed into my dad's appearance. He was not my real dad."
Bao Erzhu felt so distressed that he wanted to say something to comfort her, but he was too tongue-tied.
"It's all over now."
Li Yu smiled and nodded: "It's over in my life, but it's not over in my heart."
"I'm telling you this because I want to tell you that it's hard for me to accept other people's feelings right now. I'm skeptical about love. I think men are unreliable and I can't accept other people's feelings."
Bao Erzhu said anxiously: "I can wait!"
Li Yu: "That will take a long time."
Bao Erzhu: "I've been waiting for a long time..."
…
Before noon, with everyone's help, Jiang Wanwan and Shen Xingjiang moved their belongings to their house in the county town.
The house has been renovated. The walls are covered with newspapers, the kang is covered with kraft paper, the cabinets are wiped clean, and the big kang in the main room is very spacious and can easily accommodate five or six adults.
Jiang Wanwan walked into the house, took off her hat and scarf that were in the way, and took off her coat.
"Let's go out to eat later."
Shen Xingjiang hung up her coat and said, "Okay, there happens to be a state-owned restaurant a few blocks away, let's go there to eat."
