Shen Ping beside her talked to herself for a long time, and her mood finally recovered.
He stood up suddenly and looked at her: "Cousin, I'm fine, let's go!"
"Are you really okay? You won't cry anymore when you go home?" He Wanqing retracted her gaze and looked at Chen Ping, who had put on a smiling face, and then she stood up.
"No." Shen Ping shook her head.
The two sisters talked for a while, and then at the entrance of the village, one went east and the other went west to return to their respective homes.
After returning home, He Wanqing gradually forgot about Gu Chengan's departure under the care of her mother and others.
After lunch, the villagers started to go to work one after another, including He Wanqing.
She still ran around with her work points book as before, occasionally visiting Chen Ping or causing trouble for the Xu family.
Originally, when Xu Weiguo died, the Xu family should have held a funeral, after all, they were both father and daughter’s lives.
But no one knew what was wrong with the Xu family. They didn't even do anything for the father and daughter. They just wrapped them up in straw mats and carried them up the mountain to bury them without even preparing a coffin.
At first they didn't want to bury it, they just threw it away. If the team leader hadn't led the men in the village to dig a hole, there would have been a murder lawsuit in the mountain behind their team soon.
Seeing the Xu family members working with serious faces but without a trace of sadness, He Wanqing stood on the edge of the field and observed for a long time, but could not figure out why they were like this.
But there was a voice in her heart telling her that the Xu family's behavior was not normal and she should be careful.
She couldn't figure it out, and just as she was about to make things difficult for them, she was taken away by the team leader who came over.
"Uncle Sanzhu, why are you calling me?" She was just looking for trouble.
"Wanqing, take a break these few days and don't cause trouble for the Xu family, so that they won't take out their anger on you. Don't forget that it's not safe for you to live alone now."
Thinking of what he heard at the door of Xu's house last night, He Sanzhu always felt that the Xu family was a dangerous group.
Didn’t they see that their own son (man, brother) had died, and they didn’t even show the slightest bit of sadness?
If you really offend people like this, who knows what they will do.
"Got it, Sanzhushu. I'll go over there to record the work points." She looked back at Xu's family, thought of her current physical condition, and nodded in agreement to his suggestion.
But she had made up her mind that when her brother-in-law and his men arrived, she would do as Gu Chengan said and ask them to help her beat up people.
During this period, I have relaxed a lot on this matter, but from now on it will be better to do it once a day.
"Go!" After saying that, he glanced at the Xu family, shook his head, put his hands behind his back and turned away.
He Wanqing went to the fields to record work points.
After several days of scorching sun, the first heavy rainstorm of the hot summer finally arrived.
Sitting under the eaves, watching the heavy rain pouring outside, I felt worried when I thought of the people from the countryside who were coming soon and the man who had no news since he left.
She turned her head and looked at the kang, and after finding that Chen Ping had the same expression as her, she sighed again.
Alas~
What kind of days are we living now? It really is not easy to be a military wife!
Now she finally understood why her mother often stared in one direction and sighed.
Because she was like this now, with lifeless eyes, she looked at the work in her hands for a while, then looked outside, hoping that Gu Chengan would push open the door of the house and say to her that he was back.
Her mother used to have the three siblings play around every day to divert her attention, so she has to wait until next year.
"Sister, what do you think Su Benjun and the others are doing now?" Chen Ping, who was lying on the kang, asked without any clue.
Before, she worked every day, so she only thought of the man who left her one day after their marriage when it was quiet at night. Now that she doesn't work, she feels out of place everywhere.
"How would I know? Okay, forget it. Do you still want to wear the soles in your hand in autumn?"
I rolled my eyes and thought, if she knew, she wouldn't have been thinking about it just now.
As if talking to herself, Chen Ping continued: "Alas~
When Benjun left, he told me that if there were any letters from Nanshi, I didn't need to read them and should keep them for him to read when he came back.
But it has been several days, and there has been no letter, not even a telegram or phone call. I am still a little uncomfortable with it. ”
She had been fully prepared to fight against her mother-in-law who was overconfident and incompetent, but it turned out to be in vain.
"That's not good. Come on, don't think about it. Go and sew the soles, or you'll have nothing to wear in the fall."
Just as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door: "Knock~knock~knock~"
"Who is it?" She turned her head and looked outside the door, frowning. Who would come to see her in this weather?
"Wanqing, the Youth Educated Office just called to inform us that the youth educated in our village have arrived, but because of the heavy rain, everyone is trapped in the county town.
The captain and I are going to pick someone up in a while. Do you want to bring anything? ”
Thinking of his niece's recent severe morning sickness, Uncle He ran over to ask despite the heavy rain.
"Uncle, I don't have anything to bring. Please be careful when you and the team leader go to the commune."
Hearing this, He Wanqing, who was just wondering when the educated youth would arrive, stood up.
She wanted to go to the door, but then she looked at the rain in the yard, then looked down at her shoes and belly. In order to avoid being nagged, she did not go out.
After she finished speaking while standing at the door, she was still worried and gave a few more instructions. Only when she heard the sound of an ox cart driving outside the door did she go back inside and continue to sit down and mend the soles of her shoes.
"Sister, is it your brother-in-law's brother or sister who is here?"
Chen Ping had been reminded by Su Benjun, so when she heard Uncle He say this, she immediately understood the underlying meaning of his words.
"Well, don't go back tonight. Let's just eat together like we did last night!"
Without looking at her, he nodded in agreement with her words while talking about dinner in a while.
"Not waiting for them?"
"No, it's already afternoon. Uncle and his friends are going to the commune, so they won't be back until tomorrow."
She looked up at the rain outside and found that it was getting heavier. She also became worried about the people who went to the countryside.
Especially after hearing from her mother-in-law on the phone that day that the little girl of the Gu family's younger sister had also come. She was a little spoiled and came in a rage, so it was unknown whether she would be in a bad mood.
"That's right, let's eat early tonight and go to bed early after eating."
"Okay." After saying that, he put the semi-finished product in a dustpan, got up and went to the outer room with her to prepare dinner.
The dinner for the two of them was simple, and since they had no shortage of money or food, they made hand-rolled noodles.
Each person had a bowl of hand-rolled noodles with scallion oil, and ate until their stomachs were full, accompanied by the sound of rain outside.
One of them was holding his stomach and digesting the food on the ground, while the other was lying on the kang without moving.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, He Wanqing, who finally felt better in her stomach, muttered to Chen Ping, who was sprawled on the kang:
"Don't lie down anymore, get down and walk around quickly, or you'll feel uncomfortable from indigestion." After saying that, he took the dishes and went to the outer room to wash them.
