Fang Jie ignored whether she was angry or not and continued wiping herself.
The basin of water turned black in no time.
She suspected that no one had cleaned her mother-in-law's body while she was in the hospital.
Song Dalong, a grown man, wouldn't do these things. Song Dani and Song Erni are still children, and Fang Min is a lazy person who can sit on a stool all day without moving.
She covered her mother-in-law with a blanket, then took the basin and went out again.
When Song Fanxing saw that she had brought out a basin of pitch-black water, and the towel was stained black, she turned her head away in disgust.
She felt so sorry for her mother...
Fang Jie changed the water five times before cleaning her mother-in-law's body and changing her into clean clothes.
Grandma Song felt much better immediately, but she still didn't give Fang Jie a friendly look.
Song Darong was very grateful to his wife, and he held Fang Jie's hand and said thank you, which made Fang Jie feel embarrassed.
Although her mother-in-law treats her badly, this is not the time to hold a grudge.
Song Fanxing shook her head, thinking her mother was too kind-hearted.
Kind-hearted people are easily bullied. Old Mrs. Song might not be grateful to her; she might even take it for granted.
Next came the task of serving Old Lady Song.
As the eldest son of the Song family, Song Darong arranged for each of the three families to take care of him for a week, in rotation.
Li Zhen said with dissatisfaction, "This kind of thing should be done by the daughter. Our daughters-in-law are outsiders to our mother, and she definitely won't look down on us. It's not convenient for the three of them, as men, to take care of our mother. You know, Cui Cui is really something. She's asked someone to pass on the message for several days now, but she hasn't come to see Mom yet. She's so heartless."
Li Zhen didn't dare to antagonize Song Darong's family. She was quite afraid of her brother-in-law, and since all three families had sons, it was inappropriate to single them out. So she could only bring up Song Cuicui.
The three Song brothers, Darong and his brother, had objections to Song Cuicui's actions.
Song Cuicui's husband's family lived in the next village, very close to Songjiatun, less than an hour's walk away. If she wanted to come, she would have come long ago; the fact that she hasn't come for so long means she's deliberately avoiding it.
Song Darong said, "Let's not worry about her for now. Mom's matter is more important. Let's take care of her first. It's settled then. The three families will take turns taking care of her. Our family will go first."
Song Darong planned to personally take care of his mother for a week. He took 10 days off and could stay at home for a week.
Fang Jie already works very hard, and he can't let her take care of his mother anymore.
Song Dalong had opinions but dared not speak them, after all, Song Darong's distribution was reasonable, and if he said anything more, he would be in the wrong.
Song Dapeng didn't say anything, but Song Darong was furious when he saw that Song Dapeng looked like he was about to die.
When did my younger brother become like this? It's really upsetting to see him like this.
Seeing that her brother-in-law was about to get angry, Huang Juan quickly said, "Okay, let's do as my brother-in-law says."
Looking at Huang Juan, Song Fanxing felt that she couldn't quite understand this woman.
The original text describes her very little, only mentioning her briefly.
But she always felt that this person was hiding something.
Next, Song Darong personally took care of Old Lady Song, but the old lady never gave him a kind look.
He didn't care.
Seeing that Song Darong's eyes were red from staying up late these past few days, Song Fanxing brought him a bowl of water every day.
After drinking it, Song Darong felt all his fatigue disappear and his whole body feel refreshed.
He smiled and picked up Song Fanxing, "Daddy's little darling, you're the one who loves Daddy the most. After drinking your water, Daddy feels so comfortable."
He was about to return to his unit, and the thing he would miss most was his daughter.
The thought of not seeing his daughter for several months broke his heart. He had never felt this way before; perhaps it was because his daughter had grown up, become even cuter, and was so sweet.
The day before Song Darong was to return to his unit, the village's bumper harvest finally came to an end. Everyone was exhausted; even a group of grown men couldn't keep going.
Fang Jie was the only one who looked energetic, though she had gotten a bit tanned.
Fang Jie knew it was all thanks to her daughter, who gave her water from the space every day.
The water seemed to have magic power, more effective than medicine. It was amazing; after drinking it, one felt full of energy.
There's no rush to start work after the autumn harvest. Fang Jie used the last day to cook a delicious meal. As soon as she entered the kitchen, a large basket of white eggs was placed in the center of the kitchen.
After thinking for a while, she realized that it was the chickens her daughter was raising in the space that had laid eggs.
Wow, these eggs are so beautiful.
Fang Jie couldn't help but pick one up and look at it from left to right, overjoyed.
This meal ended up with an extra dish: braised eggs.
Song Darong ate with great delight, having finally gotten to eat everything he wanted since returning.
After finishing his meal, Song Darong returned to his unit.
Before leaving, Song Darong pulled Fang Jie aside and told her that he would send 20 yuan home every month and that she should be careful to receive it.
Fang Jie nodded. Her mother-in-law couldn't get up, so she wouldn't ask Song Darong for money anymore. Song Darong would keep some of the money for himself and send the rest home.
After deducting household expenses, you can save quite a bit over the course of a year.
We'll expand their house, extend the yard, and build two more rooms. The children are getting older; it won't be good for them to all be crammed onto one kang (heated brick bed).
Fang Jie stuffed a bag of hard-boiled eggs into Song Darong's luggage bag; the bag contained eight hard-boiled eggs.
Song Fanxing was led by Fang Jie, followed by Song Yaohui and Song Yaohua. Fang Min and Ye Fangxuan also came along. The group escorted Song Darong onto the oxcart.
Song Darong hugged Song Fanxing tightly, his voice choked with emotion.
Song Fanxing was also moved and felt a pang of reluctance.
She said in a sweet and adorable voice, "Daddy, don't be sad. We'll be reunited soon. Xingxing will miss you at home."
Upon hearing this, Song Darong immediately turned his head away and wiped his eyes.
Honestly, he's a grown man, and he actually cried.
Song Fanxing: ……
Her intention was to comfort him, so why did she get even more emotional?
