Chapter 69 Give Three Liters of Rice
"Forget it. If you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it. Every family has its own difficulties." The old lady understood.
Besides, although they are relatives, they are not really that close.
Don't force people to say it.
"Dangui, take the cornmeal back."
The old lady took out the cornmeal and gave it to Qiao Dangui.
"Remember, our family is going through hardship right now. All those little favors and grudges from the past are no longer worth mentioning. You must support each other to get through this difficult time."
There was a trace of pain in Qiao Dangui's eyes.
Yes, she understood now.
There is nothing to earn and nothing to grab.
Grabbing the cornmeal in the oil bag, she whispered, "Thank you, auntie."
"Don't thank me, thank your fourth sister-in-law. She's the one who's in charge now."
The old lady directly pointed out Sang Ning's identity.
Qiao Dangui suddenly looked up, looking shocked.
Although the relationship between the two families is distant, my father-in-law cares a lot about my uncle's family.
When he first learned that something had happened in the Marquis' Mansion, he cursed all night long.
He called his uncle stupid and General Sang a sinister villain.
Isn’t fourth brother’s wife…the daughter of General Sang?
What's going on?
Sanning smiled at her.
Qiao Dangui was a little flustered.
"Auntie, I'm leaving first."
Qiao Dangui left in a hurry.
She hadn't even noticed Huo Changan leaning on the bed.
Everyone continued to finish their meal and speculated about what had happened to Mo Cuiyu.
Then there was a "bang bang bang" sound of banging on the door outside.
"Who is it?"
"It's me! Huo Baohong!"
When the old lady heard this, she hurried to open the door.
"Second brother!"
Huo Baohong was dressed in linen clothes, had a hunched back, and half of his hair was white. He no longer looked like a glamorous and wealthy scholar businessman.
It seems that he suffered a lot during the exile and military service, and he even walks with a limp.
It was late in the evening, and his face was as dark as the twilight.
The first thing he asked was, "Where is the daughter of that old thief Sang?"
"Second brother, she is now Shilang's wife!"
"Yang! She is the enemy who harmed the Huo family! How could you be so stupid!"
Sang Ning, who was inside the house, heard it, but she didn't go out.
At this time, if she defended herself, it would only backfire.
Huo Changan was restless and looked like he really wanted to go out.
But because Sang Ning was too quiet, he gradually calmed down.
"What are you doing?"
Sang Ning stood with his back to the paper, his head lowered, holding a small burnt wooden stick in his hand, scratching something on a piece of paper.
"Please ask a carpenter to come tomorrow and make you a wheelchair."
"A wheelchair? A four-wheeled wooden ox?"
"Yes, it is four wheels."
Sonning drew the general outline for him to see.
"This way you don't have to stay indoors all the time. You can walk around and get some sunshine."
Sonning taught him how to brake and how to drive.
Huo Changan was very surprised and delighted.
This thing doesn't look like it requires more than a few pieces of wood. It's lighter than a four-wheeled wooden ox and can move by itself without being pushed by anyone.
It is very urgent for him now.
The people outside are still arguing.
Then I heard the old lady say, "Just because she carried Silang for a thousand miles and protected us to arrive in Liangzhou safely, is that enough reason?"
"What? Silang is still alive!" Huo Baohong's voice was extremely surprised.
Then the door was pushed open.
Huo Baohong barged in without warning.
I saw the couple whispering to each other.
He barged in rashly, and the young man put his hand loosely on the woman's shoulder, then gave her a fierce glance.
Like what?
The ferocious lion is warning the intruder.
“Ouch!”
Huo Baohong turned around and continued running out.
It's a bit embarrassing for an old man like that. This is really rude.
"I'm leaving first!"
This time you come at the wrong time!
I no longer have the mood to attack the Sang family.
"Second brother, is everything okay at home? Are the children okay?" the old lady asked immediately.
Huo Baohong said nothing and ran as fast as he could, limping.
"Mom, I want to go see Cuiyu tomorrow." Li Yuzhi said worriedly.
"Go, go and see what's going on with that kid."
…
The next day, just after dawn, Huo Jingya got up and went to queue up to fetch water.
The spring yesterday really didn't produce any water in the end, and she was afraid that it wouldn't come out today.
It’s better to go early.
As soon as I opened the door, I was startled by the dark shadow squatting at the door.
It turned out that the young carpenter Liu Dong had been waiting outside early.
But he came too early.
Everyone has been busy for many days and wants to rest for a while!
"Please wait a moment!"
"Okay, okay." Liu Dong squatted down against the wall again.
The young carpenter waited for a while, and the kang-making master came.
Soon, Li Yuzhi invited the two men into the yard to wait.
Sang Ning had a very difficult time sleeping.
At first she slept on the ground with straw.
When I sleep, I always feel like there are bugs crawling on my body, and it makes me itchy.
It's so strange. I didn't notice anything like it when I was in the wild before. The ground here is not humid at all, but there are bugs.
She climbed onto the bed again and squeezed in with Huo Changan.
She thought the wall was dirty, so she pushed Huo Changan inside and slept outside herself.
Then I fell out of bed in the middle of the night.
I climbed up and continued to sleep, but I felt even more uneasy. I was always worried that I would fall.
Half asleep, she felt an arm around her waist.
I don’t know if it was a dream or reality.
I fell asleep later and the daylight soon came.
She got up when she heard some movement in the yard.
I cooked a pot of vegetable porridge and gave a bowl to each of the two chefs. I beat the rest with egg drops and they drank it themselves.
The two masters were flattered.
They only eat two meals a day, when do they eat in the morning?
Of course, it is normal to have a rumbling stomach in the morning, but if you are too hungry, you won’t feel it anymore.
To be honest, the two of them held a big bowl of porridge mixed with cornmeal and were reluctant to drink it.
This porridge is so delicious, and it contains precious soybeans!
It can satisfy both hunger and thirst.
"Mrs. Sang, can I go home and bring the bowl back?" Liu Dong asked secretly while swallowing his saliva.
He wanted to send it back home.
Sang Ning understood as soon as he heard it.
"Master Liu, don't be in a hurry. I'll tell you what I want to make first. After I'm done, you can just take the blueprint home."
Sang Ning asked Master Wu, who was making the kang, to measure first and then show the blueprint to Liu Dong.
Making a wheelchair is not complicated. The main thing is to firmly fix each component, polish the rotating parts smoothly, and ensure the balance.
After reading this, a flash of disappointment crossed Liu Dong's eyes.
It turns out that it is just such a small thing.
In this case, I feel embarrassed to accept any compensation.
Just think of it as a way to thank her for giving Dad that piece of bread.
"This is it, do you think you can do it?"
"Sure, I'll go up the mountain and cut some more pine wood today. If it's not painted, it can be delivered in three days. If it's painted, it will take longer."
“No.”
Sang Ning felt that Huo Changan would not need the wheelchair for long, so there was no need to make it so complicated.
Liu Dong breathed a sigh of relief.
If he paints it, he will have to pay for it.
"Then it's settled. Instead of paying with money, we'll give you three liters of corn, okay?"
At this time, one liter is about 1.25 kilograms, and three liters is about four kilograms.
Sang Ning thought it was very reasonable and did not compare it with the sky-high prices of food outside.
"What? What did you say? How much?"
