Chen Jianan sat on a tree stump by the road, gasping for breath.
"What a mistake..."
He had calculated that his physical strength was poor, so he made the move in advance.
He estimated that he could complete the journey in two hours, which would take a normal person an hour.
But it's still bad.
He came with two pheasants and was not very busy, so the journey was relatively easy.
When he went back, he was carrying a large sack weighing seventy or eighty kilograms.
As a result, he had to rest for a while after walking for a while.
The clothes were wet and dry, dry and wet again, leaving a large white stain of sweat.
"No, we can't delay any longer. Mom and little sister will definitely be worried."
Chen Jianan gritted his teeth and stood up, picking up the sack again...
“Crash…”
Under the moonlight, Chen Jianan opened the door of his home.
After putting the sack down, I finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then I felt stars in my eyes and felt dizzy.
"who?"
Liu Guifen, who was lying on the kang, heard the noise.
"Mom, it's me."
Chen Jianan gritted his teeth and agreed.
"son!"
Liu Guifen was surprised and happy, as if she had suddenly regained her strength. She sat up from the kang and quickly walked out of the house.
Then he looked at Chen Jianan, who was sweating profusely.
"Son, you scared me to death..."
Liu Guifen rushed over, hugged Chen Jianan, and burst into tears.
"Wow, brother, Lingling misses you too..."
Lingling held the tortilla in one hand and hugged Chen Jianan's thighs tightly with the other hand, rubbing his pants with snot and tears.
"Okay, okay, I'm back now, it's okay."
Chen Jianan quickly comforted the mother and daughter.
Although today was tiring and dangerous, it was very rewarding.
It feels so good to have two people who truly love you waiting for you at home. No matter how hard or tiring it is, it is worth it.
"By the way, Mom, is there anything to eat at home? I'm hungry."
Chen Jianan felt dizzy and was about to suffer from hypoglycemia.
He had only drunk a bowl of corn porridge since this morning, and his stomach was burning with hunger and his stomach was sour.
"Brother, I have tortillas for you!"
Lingling held up the tortilla.
Chen Jianan started eating with big mouthfuls.
"Slow down, don't choke."
Liu Guifen poured a bowl of boiled water.
After eating the cake and drinking three bowls of boiled water, Chen Jianan finally recovered.
"Mom, where did this tortilla come from?"
As Chen Jianan recalls, his family was short of food and had always been eating thin porridge mixed with vegetable leaves.
"It was given to me by your aunt Zhao Shulan."
"I will remember this favor. I don't know when I can repay it..."
Liu Guifen sighed.
"Haha, don't worry, I'll be able to pay it back soon."
Chen Jianan is a man with many grudges.
If someone bullies his family, he will definitely take revenge.
If someone does a favor to his family, he will definitely repay it.
Entered the house and lit the kerosene lamp.
Chen Jianan placed the sack in the middle of the ground, which immediately attracted the attention of the mother and daughter.
"Brother, what is this?"
Lingling walked to the sack curiously, looking inside with her big eyes.
Chen Jianan opened the sack, took out the small bag on top and put it aside.
The golden cornmeal underneath was revealed.
"Wow, that's a lot of cornmeal!"
Lingling shouted out in surprise, and immediately grabbed a handful of cornmeal with her little hands and held it in front of her mother.
Liu Guifen was also surprised and happy.
There are only three or four pounds of cornmeal left in the house, and they are about to run out of food. She is worried.
Judging from the bulging appearance of the sack, it must weigh at least 40 kilograms.
"Mom, these ten pounds of cornmeal are what I got from hunting today."
Chen Jianan took out the slingshot and showed it off.
"Did you go hunting in the deserted grassland today?"
"How dangerous this is!"
Liu Guifen's face changed and she screamed in fear.
She had been worried about her son all day, but she didn't expect that he would dare to go hunting in the wasteland.
"Don't worry, Mom. It's dangerous to others, but it's gold everywhere to me."
Chen Jianan smiled confidently.
Then, he opened the small bag next to it.
"Lingling, what do you think this is?"
"Ah, rattle!"
Lingling widened her eyes in surprise, took the rattle and shook it back and forth, making a gurgling sound.
"Mom, this is for you."
Chen Jianan took out a board of black hairpins.
Then I picked one up and pinned it on my mother's hair myself.
"You kid... you always make me worry... what are you going to do with all this money..."
Liu Guifen had never been bad looking, but her hard life made her look a little old.
After the white hair was pinned up with a hairpin, it immediately looked neat.
"Oh, mommy is so beautiful."
Lingling clapped her hands.
"You're already an old woman, why are you still beautiful..."
Liu Guifen shook her head, but couldn't help looking at herself in the mirror.
"Son, you are lucky today. Maybe it is your father's blessing from heaven."
"We got these things from hunting, which are enough for a while. Don't go to the wasteland again."
Liu Guifen was very happy to see her son earn so much.
But I'm still worried about his safety.
"Mom, I'm grown up now, you don't have to worry about me."
"I know what's going on."
Chen Jianan held his mother's hand.
Although he understood that his mother was worried about him.
But the wasteland is an important part of future career development and cannot be given up.
"Alas, when a son grows up, he is no longer under the control of his mother."
"You have definitely grown up."
Liu Guifen sighed.
Looking at Chen Jianan's angular face, a circle of fine black hair had grown on his lips.
"You have to promise me that you won't take any risks. If anything happens to you, I won't be able to live."
"Okay, I promise."
Chen Jianan and Zheng Yi nodded.
Liu Guifen was pleased to see his mature appearance.
Suddenly I remembered what happened during the day, so I told it again worriedly.
After listening to this, Chen Jianan narrowed his eyes.
You, Zhou Huanghe, and Ma Laosan, actually bullied me. Don’t blame me for being rude!
Chen Jianan went out again and brought back the hidden pheasants and eggs.
Lingling lit a fire and boiled water, while Liu Guifen kneaded the dough to make pancakes.
After Chen Jianan came back, he quickly prepared the pheasant and cooked it himself.
An hour later.
The dining table was set up on the kang.
Today's dinner: golden corn tortillas, a big bowl of stewed pheasant, and a plate of wild vegetables fried with lard.
“Wow, it smells so good!”
Lingling sniffed hard and swallowed her saliva.
But she didn't dare to sit at the table and eat.
Because men still favor women over men, men must sit at the table first.
"Son, you eat first. You are weak, so you need some more nourishment."
Liu Guifen looked at her son with a face full of love.
"Mom, let's not have so many rules in our house. Let's eat together."
Chen Jianan picked up a chicken leg and put it in Liu Guifen's bowl.
Then he found some chicken hearts and put them in Lingling's bowl.
"If you eat chicken hearts, you will be smart and cunning in the future."
Chen Jianan touched his sister's little head.
"Thank you, brother!"
The little girl couldn't wait any longer.
After receiving Liu Guifen's persuasive look, he started eating immediately.
“It smells so good!”
Lingling took a bite and her eyes immediately widened.
"If it tastes good, eat more."
Chen Jianan picked up another large piece of chicken for her.
"Dad, have you seen that? Your son has made great progress..."
Liu Guifen wiped her tears.
At this moment, she felt that no matter how much hardship and grievance she had endured in the past, it was all worth it.
"Mom, why are you crying?"
"This is just…"
"We should not only eat corn tortillas, but also fine grains, big steamed buns, and pork dumplings in the future!"
Chen Jianan held his mother's hand.
After he became rich, his biggest regret was that he was not able to take good care of his mother.
It is a permanent pain in a child's heart that his parents are gone when he wants to support them.
Now that my mother is right in front of me, I must make her happy forever.
