The two rode slowly back home from the commune under the scorching sun.
It was too hot on the road, so they went to rest under a tree on the side of the road to cool off, and then continued riding after they had rested.
It was already 2 o'clock when the two returned home. Every household had finished lunch, and some went up the mountain to collect firewood, while others tidied up their vegetable gardens and yards.
Maybe the sun was too strong, so the old people who usually could only do simple things like chatting at the entrance of the village were not there today.
There were only a few tree stumps under the trees at the entrance of the village today, and no one was there. Not only were there no people, but several dogs that were supposed to guard the village were also missing.
"Sister, it's so hot. There's no one at the entrance of the village today." Thinking of the old men and women who always gathered here, Chen Ping said with a smile.
"Of course they all went down the mountain to cool off." He looked at the foot of the mountain while riding his bike towards home.
There is a row of thatched huts there, which were built by the villagers for cooling off in the summer.
I guess the entrance to the village will be much less lively in the future, it’s not going to be lively anymore.
"Too."
Thinking of the row of straw huts, Chen Ping nodded in understanding.
The two of them rode slower from the moment they entered the village, all the way to Shen Ping's house. When they saw her walk in with the newspaper, He Wanqing got on her bike and sped back home.
She thought her door was locked, but when she got home, she found it was wide open and there were a lot of people sitting in front of the door?
What's going on? ? ?
Could it be that Gu Chengan came back so soon? ? ?
"Aunt Jiang, why are you in my house?"
When she got closer, she found that it was the accountant's wife and a few others. She looked into the yard and found that her mother was not there, so she couldn't help but become curious.
"Don't look, your mother and the others are helping you tidy up the vegetable patch in your backyard.
We were too lazy to go back, and your house happened to be close to the foot of the mountain and quite cool, so we stayed at your door.
Why are you not welcome? ? ? "The accountant's wife explained while sewing the soles of her shoes.
"No, I definitely welcome you to come and play. Wait a minute, I'll go in and get you some water."
He got off his bike, pushed it quickly into the door, and greeted a few people with a smile.
“No need, your water tank is right there, if we are thirsty we can just scoop some water and drink it ourselves.
You'd better pack up the newspapers in the back of your car first! "Jiang Mei glanced at the people around her, and seeing so many newspapers behind her car, she directly refused.
Hearing this, she took a look at the location of her own water tank and saw that several people had the same idea, so she didn't force it. She took the bicycle into the warehouse and began to untie the rope.
Jiang Mei, who was standing at the door, saw that she had brought back so many newspapers. Thinking of the muddy wall of her house, she followed her into the yard holding her shoe soles.
Standing at the door, sewing the soles of shoes while chatting with her.
Looking at the accountant's wife who kept her eyes fixed on the newspaper while chatting with her, He Wanqing smiled knowingly:
"Aunt, if you want newspapers, just tell me. There's no need to beat around the bush." Then he took out a stack and gave it to her:
"Hey, are these enough for you?"
There are many places to post them in her house, and these are all she can distribute now, and she doesn’t know whether the other people at the door want them or not.
"It's enough. It's just one room. These are too much. You can take some back." They were all bought with money, so Jiang Mei felt embarrassed to take more.
"Take it, it's not much." After saying that, he turned around and put the newspaper in the warehouse, and then placed the thick wooden board he brought back upright in the corner of the wall before turning around and leaving.
"Aunt, you play at the door. I'll go to the backyard and call my mom and the others over."
"Go ahead, it's time to finish it."
He rolled up the newspaper in his hand and tucked it under his armpit, then turned and walked towards the door.
He glanced at the door and saw that they were still at the same place as before, so he went to the backyard.
I pulled out the wild vegetables in the backyard, applied farmyard manure, and helped her put up the trellis for the beans that needed it.
After helping her reinforce the roots of tomatoes, eggplants and peppers with a branch, He's mother, Aunt Shen, and Aunt He left the backyard and walked towards the front yard.
The two sides just met at the corner: "Mom..."
"I'm back. Have you eaten?"
Interrupting her, He's mother looked her up and down, and when she saw her nod slightly, she was delighted, but did not show it on her face.
"I've already eaten. Didn't you say you'd wait for me to come back and make it together?"
I took a look at the tidied backyard and smelled the pungent smell of farm manure. Even though I was mentally prepared, I almost vomited.
"Okay, hurry up and get out, we've got it done here."
Seeing her face suddenly turn ugly, and thinking of what they had just splashed, He's mother waved her hand and asked her to leave.
Aunt He and others who had already guessed what was going on also urged her to go out and play for a while. They didn't even want to get close to her, for fear that they would have that smell on them and make her vomit it out.
There are outsiders at the door now, so it would be bad to let them guess or see what is going on, after all, they are not sitting firmly.
"I see. Then I'll go find Xiaoping." She didn't feel it just now, but now she felt that the whole yard was filled with the smell of farm manure.
"Go." Looking at her expression, several people spoke at the same time.
"Yeah." After saying that, he frowned, turned around and walked away quickly, without even entering the house, and walked straight out the door.
When he was almost at the door, he saw so many people outside. After thinking for a while, he turned back to the warehouse to get a basket and a sickle, intending to go to the mountain to get some herbs.
"Where is Wanqing going with the vegetable basket?" An old lady who was sewing clothes saw her go in and leave soon after, and immediately asked curiously.
"Aunt Fifth, I'm going to take Xiaoping to the mountain for a walk." After saying that, he nodded to the others and walked around them and out of the house.
Only after I walked a long way did I feel that the oppressive feeling I had just felt was much relieved.
She didn't know why, but the smell of toilets in every household along the way didn't make her feel uncomfortable. Instead, she almost vomited just now.
Could it be that I ate too much? ? ?
Before she could figure it out, she had already arrived at Chen Ping's doorstep.
Just as I was about to step in, I heard a burst of angry cursing coming from inside.
"How can your aunt cheat you? She told you such a good marriage, but you rejected it without even looking at it. Why can't you think about me?
If you refuse me like this without any consideration, how can I face your aunt and uncle in the future? ”
"Chen Ping, I'm your mother, how can I cheat you? I met that person today, he's very good, don't go out this afternoon. Wait for someone to come and meet him together."
"Impossible, if you want to meet someone, you can meet them yourself. As for marrying them, that's even more impossible.
If that person is really as good as you say, why doesn't my aunt introduce him to her own daughter?
Okay, even if you say her daughter has a boyfriend, what about your uncle’s daughter?
It's impossible that two people who didn't have a partner some time ago now have a partner at the same time, right? "The tone was firm and unquestionable.
