Gu Zhenqi took the two children back to the room, took out wet towels to wipe their little hands clean, and took out two portions of food and placed them on the kang table.
Looking at the children who were eating in a hurry, her eyes were filled with heartache and even some self-blame.
"I'm sorry, my babies, mommy is hungry for you!"
Ruiduo raised her head, looking at her with her big eyes in a daze, with a grain of rice hanging from the corner of her mouth: "Mom, don't say sorry, I'm fine! I love you so much!"
"I love mom so much, don't be sorry!" Fei'an's mouth was full of rice, and his little face was bulging, just like a cute little hamster. He spoke vaguely and accidentally spilled a few grains of rice.
He picked it up with his little hands and put it into his mouth carefully.
Gu Zhenqi rubbed their little heads lovingly and said with a gentle smile: "Eat slowly, don't choke!"
Then he took out two more cups of juice, holding one cup in each hand and feeding them: "Be good! Drink some juice to smooth your mouth, your mouth is too dry!"
The two little cubs drank two sips obediently and finished what was in their mouths smoothly.
The next second, when eating, he had returned to his usual well-behaved self!
"Slow down, slow down, oh my god, it hurts so much, is my arm broken?" Ge Yun grimaced in pain.
"Don't lift it, don't touch it, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, I hope I won't become disabled." Fan Chun's expression was distorted in pain, sweat was oozing from his forehead, and he said while sucking his teeth.
"Wait a moment, Chen Qiang is going to borrow a bullock cart, and I'll go get a quilt. Otherwise, if the bumps get more serious, it will be troublesome." Wang Guiying said.
Gu Zhenqi, who was in the room, looked at the two little cubs who were eating seriously and attentively.
"You guys just eat your meal first, mom will go out and see your aunt and second aunt, okay?"
"Mom, go ahead. We will be good!"
Ruiduo and Feian spoke in unison in their baby voices.
In the yard
Chen Guo paced back and forth with a worried look on his face.
Ge Yun and Fan Chun collapsed on the table like a puddle of mud, and kept uttering "Ouch, ouch..." in pain.
The expression on his face was distorted, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his eyes looked very anxious.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, are you all right?"
Hearing Gu Zhenqi's voice, they rolled their eyes and said in great pain: "No, it's very bad. My arms feel like they were forcibly removed. Zhenqi, do you think we will be disabled like this?"
They were in tears as they spoke. If Gu Zhenqi answered "yes", they would definitely break down and cry the next moment!
"No, it was probably hurt while pulling the plow. Just go to the clinic and see a doctor to straighten the bone!" Gu Zhenqi comforted.
"Come out, I have borrowed the oxcart!"
Chen Qiang's shouting was heard from outside the yard.
Wang Guiying just came out of the room holding a quilt and helped someone walk out.
She put the person on the ox cart, and went back to the yard, and said to Gu Zhenqi: "Zhenqi, don't worry too much, just take good care of the child at home, we will go!"
"Mom, slow down, I'll prepare a midnight snack for you at home!"
"Don't bother, you've been tired all day, go to bed early. We may be back late at night. They injured their arms and will need to recuperate for a few days. You will have to work hard!"
After saying that, she turned and went out into the yard.
Just as Wang Guiying expected, it was already past three in the morning when they returned.
Gu Zhenqi has always been a light sleeper. When he heard the noise coming from the yard, he put on some clothes and quickly got off the kang without turning on the light.
Seeing her coming out of the house, Wang Guiying hurried forward and asked: "Why are you out?"
She looked at Ge Yun and Fan Chun who were being supported, and saw that their facial expressions had returned to normal, but their faces were still a little pale, and they did not look as energetic.
"I'm a little worried about my eldest and second sisters-in-law, mother, how are their arms?"
"It's not serious. I'm telling you, I held on. It took a little too long and it got inflamed. I prescribed some medicine. It will be fine in ten days or half a month!"
"It's just right that we have some free time during the farming season, so we can have a good rest for a few days!" "That's good, as long as it's nothing serious! Mom, have you all eaten?"
"After eating, go to bed and we can talk tomorrow!"
As Wang Guiying spoke, she pushed Gu Zhenqi, urging her to go back to sleep.
She looked back and said: "But...sister-in-law, second sister-in-law and others..."
"What can happen to them? It's inevitable that some people will get tired or injured while working. They are thick-skinned and not so delicate. I'll say hello to them for you later. Go back quickly!"
What else could she say? She had to turn around and go back to her room to continue sleeping.
…
It took Ge Yun and Fan Chun a whole month to heal their arms, and they were finally healed.
During this month, the two of them felt that their lives were more comfortable than those ladies in the old society!
Due to the inconvenience of their arms and the lack of work, they hardly did any work and spent more time in the house than outside.
They eat well and have enough for three meals a day. Now they are much whiter and rounder.
All this is thanks to Gu Zhenqi. After this incident, the two of them are truly grateful to her from the bottom of their hearts.
Winter is approaching, and every household is preparing for the winter and the New Year.
The older men in the family would go up the mountain in groups to chop wood and make charcoal. Those who had some skills would even go hunting.
However, no one dared to go deep into the mountains. The mountain in their village has been protected for a long time and is close to the primeval forest. It is lush and green, with many towering ancient trees.
The thinnest tree is as thick as a bowl. All kinds of birds and animals live in the mountains and forests. In the deepest parts of the forests there are wolves, tigers, black bears, wild boars, yellow foxes, cunning foxes... and other wild beasts.
Therefore, the villagers only dared to move around on the periphery, and at most walked a little further inside. No one dared to go too deep.
