Chapter 17 The whole family goes out



After Ji Nanfeng spread the ointment on Ruan Tang, he withdrew his hand.

In fact, it was Ruan Tang's pleading, which was too torturous.

Ruan Tang felt a little reluctant to leave and praised Ji Nanfeng's massage skills.

Ji Nanfeng sighed helplessly, "Tell me, where else do you want me to rub?"

"My waist. You tormented me all night yesterday, and it's so sore..."

Ruan Tang finished mumbling her complaints before she realized what she had said.

The air in the room suddenly became thinner, and both of them were breathing faster.

Ji Nanfeng's rough palm touched the waist, and that area became extremely hot...

The two of them were stuck in silence until Ruan Tang raised her head and looked at Ji Nanfeng, her gaze already shrunken...

Ji Nanfeng's kiss fell gently.

After the kiss, Ruan Tang fell into Ji Nanfeng's arms.

Just at this moment, a woman's delicate moan came from the window.

They both looked towards the window.

They actually heard the sound of the wedding next door, and the sound passed through several walls and was clearly heard by them.

Ruan Tang's face turned pale: "You can hear this? Then what happened yesterday..."

Ji Nanfeng soothed him, "How is that possible? He can hear it from such a distance, wouldn't his parents be deafened by it?"

Ruan Tang thought about it and agreed. Not only was there a courtyard wall, but there was also a wall between the rooms. If there was such a loud noise, wouldn't half the village hear it?

Ji Nanfeng found an excuse to go to the toilet, fetched a bucket of water and poured it next door.

"Ah - damn it, someone pour some water!" Xu Yan was in high spirits when he was suddenly drenched in water and immediately became exhausted.

Ji Nanfeng's voice was icy: "Get away from me and don't dirty my ears. Next time, I'll pour more than just a basin of cold water on you."

Xu Yan felt embarrassed and was about to retort when Du Xueqing pulled him away tremblingly with her arms around her.

Xu Yan's screams were so miserable that Ruan Tang herself could hear them. In all those years in her previous life, she had never once noticed the stench beneath Xu Yan's sheep's clothing. How blind she was.

Fortunately, Jiaojiao is not his child.

Fortunately, she was able to come once.

When Ji Nanfeng came back, he saw Ruan Tang's eyes were eager and sparkling.

Ji Nanfeng got on the bed without saying a word and lay down.

Ruan Tang had already been frightened by his demand last night, and just now she had been frightened by the shameless guy next door. Therefore, Ji Nanfeng did not plan to touch Ruan Tang recently, lest she have a psychological trauma. He could wait for her to grow up.

"You have to get up early tomorrow, go to sleep."

Ruan Tang felt at ease listening to Ji Nanfeng's breathing. In just one night, she seemed to have slowly gotten used to Ji Nanfeng.

Ji Nanfeng listened to Ruan Tang's long breathing, and only after he was sure that she was asleep did he hold her in his arms.

Before dawn, Ji Nanfeng started packing his things.

As a barefoot doctor, Ruan Tang had to go with the team. Although he didn't have to dig the canal, he had to ensure that there were doctors on the scene to rescue in case of accidents.

Digging a canal is physically demanding work. After finishing the work, I just want to take a quick bite and then lie down to rest.

Therefore, every family must prepare enough dry food.

Grandma Ji had to hang saline solution every day, so she had to go with Ruan Tang. So this time, the whole Ji family went out.

As soon as six o'clock arrived, the village loudspeaker started to sound.

The tractor and oxcart, loaded with tools, traveled for more than three hours.

The Ji family's situation was special. Ruan Tang had sprained her foot, and Grandma Ji was ill, so they were specially allowed to ride in an ox cart.

After arriving at the place, each family began to build a straw hut.

The Ji family arrived late, and the only land they could choose was in the corner. Ji Nanfeng didn't mind and quickly built two straw huts.

Tie the three pieces of wood provided by the teacher into a triangular bracket and insert it into the ground. Then surround it with rainproof cloth and cover it with a few layers of straw.

Ruan Tang put things in order, Ji Nanfeng set up the stove and pot, and cooked porridge. After the porridge boiled, he tore the pancakes into pieces and threw them into the porridge to cook together.

After eating a hot lunch, the team leader, Father Xu, began to call for assembly.

After Ruan Tang gave Grandma Ji an IV drip, she asked her younger brother Ji to watch over her, then she limped off, carrying the medicine box on her back and prepared to go to the gathering.

Ji Nanfeng picked up Ruan Tang horizontally. Ruan Tang's eyes widened with fear and she exclaimed, "You're crazy! If someone reports you, you're finished."

Ji Nanfeng didn't care at all, "Who dares? If anyone wants to mess with me, go to the front line and kill a few enemies first."

Ji Nanfeng walked steadily and put Ruan Tang next to Secretary Hu, asking him to look after Ruan Tang.

Perhaps it was because Ji Nanfeng's aura was too strong, only the young people were making a fuss, and no one was making sarcastic remarks.

Father Xu put up small flags on the river where the tasks were assigned by the team, gave some words of encouragement, and then began to distribute the tools.

In those days, digging river channels relied entirely on manpower, with people pulling and carrying on their shoulders.

In her previous life, Ruan Tang had money and tickets sent by her family, which was enough to support herself and occasionally eat some meat to satisfy her cravings, so she never dug a canal.

Now, standing on the embankment, with the red flags waving, listening to the slogans, and watching the workers working hard, my heart is surging. This generation has toiled all their lives with their own hands and has silently contributed to the construction of the country all their lives.

In the dense crowd, Ruan Tang saw Ji Nanfeng at a glance.

He had a hemp rope on his shoulders and was pulling a flatbed cart full of lumps of earth. Two uncles were pulling on both sides and transporting the earth out.

Ruan Tang found a wooden stick to use as a crutch and walked around with Secretary Hu.

The canal digging project was a county-wide task, and all the villagers from Hongyang County came. Ruan Tang learned that the Honghui Village was digging a canal next door, so her family was relocated to the Honghui Village.

Ruan Tang stood on the embankment marked by red lights, staring at the dense crowds of people below with red eyes. After an hour, he still couldn't find his family.

By the afternoon, Ruan Tang was busy. The mud in the river made it difficult to walk, and people kept falling and spraining their muscles. Ruan Tang had to be on standby at all times.

Digging a canal is really hard work. Men are treated like donkeys and women are treated like men.

Even after Ji Nanfeng came back every day, he would just eat something quickly and go to bed.

This went on for five days in a row.

On the sixth day, while Ji Nanfeng was still awake, Ruan Tang told him that his family had also been sent down to Honghui Village.

"I'll be careful. I'll just sneak in to see if they need help. I won't be a burden to you."

"I have the money and the tickets. I just saw that all the men and women who were sent to the bullpen were pulling flatbed carts. If you don't want to, we can leave..."

Ji Nanfeng leaned over and blocked Ruan Tang's chattering mouth, "Be good, don't worry, I'll ask someone about it tomorrow."

Ruan Tang's eyes widened in shock. She had told Ji Nanfeng everything because she was afraid of getting him into trouble. She had told him in advance so that he could be prepared. If things got out of hand, he could still get a divorce. She hadn't expected Ji Nanfeng to help her at all.

"Are you really willing to help me?"

"Why, I, an ugly son-in-law, can't stand seeing my parents-in-law?"

Ruan Tang hugged Ji Nanfeng's neck in surprise, and the straw hut shook a little.

"Take it easy, if the shed collapses, we'll be the talk of the town tomorrow."

Ruan Tang was not annoyed by being teased. She hugged Ji Nanfeng's arm and lay down, whispering about the fun things she had as a child...
