After pouring the hot water from the pot into the thermos, He Wanqing said as she walked:
"Grandpa, I don't have much to do at home. I'll just boil a pot of hot water for you to drink at night." As soon as he finished speaking, he just lay on the kang.
Grandpa Gu looked at her smile, and thinking about their time together this afternoon and what Gu Chengshi and the others said, he was extremely satisfied with her as Zhang's grandson's daughter-in-law.
"Then you can let Chengshi do it. Don't do it next time."
She glanced at Gu Chengshi and saw him nodding after following Grandpa Gu's words. She smiled and nodded in agreement: "Okay."
However, it is not certain whether she will ask Gu Chengshi to help her boil hot water, after all, he has to go to work during the day.
The five of them chatted on the kang for a long time, and most of the talk was done by Gu Chengshi and the other two. The old man responded to the three with a smile, then turned around and praised He Wanqing for her initial actions.
He Wanqing was helpless when she was praised by several people. She could only put on an awkward yet polite smile. It was not until half past eight that she finished chatting and went back to her room to rest.
Lying on the kang, she recalled the old man's words. Thinking that the old man might not leave after coming here, she sighed.
Alas~
Her mother probably won't go with the army again, it's all her fault for holding her back.
After thinking, I turned over, closed my eyes and rested.
On the second day, He Wanqing, who did not sleep in, got up and prepared breakfast for Grandpa Gu, who had gone out to exercise early in the morning. After going out to play with others, she returned to her room and took a nap before she went up the mountain with Shen Ping, full of energy, carrying a backpack.
"Sister, is my uncle okay?" Chen Ping asked curiously as she walked and looked at her.
"It's okay, you'll be fine after some rest." Thinking of He's father's injury, she was obviously relieved because she happened to have this medicine in her space.
Thinking back to her original soul state, shuttling between various high-tech laboratories and getting those high-tech medicines, she couldn't help but admire herself for her foresight.
Otherwise, based on what her father said that day, she would probably have received another martyr's certificate.
"That's good. By the way, I heard from Xiaoya this morning that Grandpa Gu probably won't go back to Nanshi this time???" Thinking of what she heard in the morning, Chen Ping glanced at her.
"Well, the old man has this idea. After all, South City is very chaotic now, and he is safer here than in South City."
This was said in a simple way, but Chen Ping, who had been taught by Su Benjun, understood it immediately. She nodded and said:
“Indeed, I used to envy city dwellers for having jobs and making money, but now it seems that our village is better.
Although the money was not much, it was enough, and there was no need to worry about being betrayed and sent to the farm. ”
After taking a look at my cousin, I saw that she was no longer as eager to go to the city as before, so I nodded with satisfaction:
"Yes, city people are not necessarily good either. Just think about the educated youth who came here. They may not live as comfortably as we do."
"That's right." Thinking of those educated youth, who were arrogant but clean-handed, Chen Ping nodded in agreement.
"Xiao Ping, do you remember the brigade primary school I told you about before?" When they arrived at the place, He Wanqing put her backpack on the ground and while picking mushrooms, she looked up at her who was already working.
"I remember, what's wrong, sister?" How could Chen Ping forget this pancake?
"My uncle said last night that someone from the public society will come in the next two days to announce that the address of the new expanded school is at the intersection of our three brigades.
Each of the three brigades needs two people to be teachers. Both educated youth and villagers can sign up, but in order to be fair, an exam is required. Do you still want to go? ”
Hearing this, Chen Ping looked up at her and shook her head directly: "Sister, I won't go. I'm pregnant now, and I have to take care of the baby after giving birth. How can I have time to teach the child?
It would be a waste of my place if I passed the exam, so I might as well not take the exam. I will go again if there is still a chance when my children grow up and can run away. ”
He glanced at her, and after seeing that she was not reluctant, he nodded and said, "That's right, the child is grown up now, you can do whatever you want, but let's put it aside for now!"
The two sisters picked mushrooms and chatted while they soon filled their backpacks. They then went down the mountain along the same route they had come.
When passing by the ditch at the foot of the mountain, they saw Xu Qiuhua acting sneaky again. The two sisters looked at each other, and after seeing a plot in her eyes, they did not follow her.
Instead, when they were at the foot of the mountain, he told the people who came to the mountain to pick mushrooms where Xu Qiuhua was.
"Auntie Feng, there are many grapes in the valley over there. You see, we are picking them there. You can go there too!"
"Sanniang, there are a lot of mushrooms in Pozigou over there, you should go quickly, or they will be gone in a while."
"Auntie Zhang, yes, it's the Pozigou over there. There are a lot of mushrooms there. You should go quickly. Many people have already gone there. If you go too late, there probably won't be much left."
.......
They told many people in a row, and finally when they arrived at their doorstep, they told the location to several loudspeakers in the village. Then the two sisters sat at the doorstep and began to clean the mushrooms they had picked up the mountain.
As for what happened on the mountain, the two of them didn't care. They would know it soon anyway, so they didn't go to watch the excitement.
What happened on the mountain was just as the two men had imagined. They had just taken off their clothes and rolled around together, and when they were getting excited, they were blocked in the bushes by a group of people picking mushrooms.
One of the nosy people even took Xu Qiuhua's clothes in his hand and looked at them. As for the person next to her, he took the pile of men's clothes on the ground in his hand.
The group of older women were not shy at all. They chased away the young unmarried girls and called the team leader. Then they looked at the two people who were still stuck together and started to comment on them.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Xu Qiuhua is so hungry that she does it in the mountains in broad daylight."
"Who said it wasn't? I remember Zhu Sanni scolded He Cao like this before. I didn't expect that her own daughter would be such a slut."
"That's right. Look, we've been standing here for such a long time, and these two are still together. Why don't they separate for a while?"
"Sister Wu, stop talking. Qiuhua really knows how to pick people. We have been standing here for so long, and he still hasn't softened."
........
Xu Qiuhua was almost ashamed and angry to death by everyone's comments, but that was not the important thing. When the captain and his group arrived, she realized how disappointed she was.
The people working in the fields were bored and had nothing exciting to watch, but they unexpectedly heard this good news.
Without even waiting for the captain to call out, a group of people ran very fast and arrived before the captain and his men.
A few shameless people walked straight up to the two people hugging each other, pulled Xu Qiuhua's face apart, and looked at the man's face.
"Oh, isn't this Wang Laosi from Wangjiawan?" He Ergou's words made the crowd excited again.
Everyone present knew who Wang Laosi was. He had a wife and children, especially a daughter who was not too young.
