In fact, if Yang Yulan calmed down and thought about it, she would know that this time was not enough for them to go to the town and back. Not to mention that it was raining and the road was difficult to walk on, just carrying Song Jianye on her back was a bit short.
But she was worried and scared at the moment, so she didn't think too much.
After Song Aiguo and his three brothers sent Song Jianye back to the west room, they wiped their faces, said a few words, and left.
"Third sister-in-law, wash Jianye with hot water, don't let him catch a cold."
After saying that, Song Aiguo and the others left. Their clothes were soaked through, and they had to go back and change clothes quickly.
Yang Yulan looked at Song Jianye and wanted to ask something, but didn't know how to start, so she simply suppressed the thought, quickly poured hot water for Song Jianye to drink first, then got more hot water to wipe his body, and helped him to the bed.
Baoya and Tianen are playing with their brothers in the main room at the moment and are not here.
After Song Jianye finished his cup of hot water, Yang Yulan poured him another cup and asked him to warm his hands. Only then did she ask, "How was this trip?"
In the side room over there, Song Aiguo still felt his hands and feet were cold after washing. After all, they had been in the rain for several hours, and even someone in good health might not be able to withstand it.
Afraid of catching a cold, he went to the kitchen, poured a few large ladles of water into the pot, and started a fire. He added firewood while roasting the fire, and his body became much warmer.
Seeing him here, Chen Xiuxiu followed him over and asked quickly, "How is it? Have you arrived in town? What did the doctor say?"
Song Aiguo sighed: "We didn't make it to town."
"ah?"
"When we were halfway there, the road was flooded. If it was just a little bit, it would have been easy to cross, but the flooded road was too long. We had to carry Jianye on our backs, and we were afraid that he might fall again. Jianye was also afraid that something might happen again, and he didn't want to go any further, so we turned back."
Song Jianguo sighed and said helplessly.
When Chen Xiuxiu heard this, she wanted to say something but didn't know how to start. In the end, all her words turned into a sigh.
well.
......
Over there, Shen Yibei and Zhao Rongsheng had both gone home. Since it was raining outside, they should have stayed in the cowshed and not come out. However, they usually had to work during the day and had no free time at all. Since it was raining these few days and they didn't have to go to the fields, they wanted to take advantage of this time to do something.
Zhao Rongsheng went to the back mountain to dig herbs, and also picked up some wild vegetables and other things to cook when he got home. Shen Yibei also went to the back mountain to see if he could try his luck and pick up something.
Estimating the time, Shen Yibei waited for Zhao Rongsheng on his way back, and then the two of them returned to the cowshed together.
"Xiaobei, look, I'm lucky today. I found this..."
Zhao Rongsheng was very happy that he had found a medicinal herb to treat Jiang Qiuli's eyes today. But before he finished speaking, he saw that Shen Yibei's face was not right.
He followed Shen Yibei's gaze and the medicinal herbs in his hand fell to the ground.
The cowshed is gone? After taking a closer look, the two of them realized that the cowshed had collapsed!
Realizing this, the two men no longer cared about anything else. Their hearts were pounding, and they could not hear the sounds around them. They ran towards the cowshed like crazy.
I kept praying in my heart that Jiang Qiuli must not be in there, must not be in there.
Shen Yibei ran faster, and when he reached the cowshed, he didn't care if he would get hurt, and started scratching.
"Grandma, grandma!"
After all, Zhao Rongsheng was old and his legs were slower, but he also rushed over now, and followed Shen Yibei to cling to the collapsed roof.
"Qiuli, Qiuli..."
Both of them were in great torment. On the one hand, they hoped that Jiang Qiuli would respond to prove that she was okay, but on the other hand, they were afraid that she would not make any sound.
The two of them were digging in the soil like crazy, especially Shen Yibei, whose originally calm and indifferent eyes were now very red.
"Qiuli, Qiuli..." Zhao Rongsheng never cried when he was demoted. Now thinking that his wife might be down there, he couldn't help but shed tears. He kept calling out, which was so touching.
The rain was still falling, the cold rain hitting them, slowly chilling their hearts...
After Jiang Qiuli told the team leader about the collapsed cowshed, she was afraid that the two generations of grandparents and grandchildren would be scared when they came back and saw the collapsed house, so she hurried back.
As a result, when he came back this time, he saw them digging through the rubble from a distance. He was so distressed that he ran over and shouted:
"Old man, Xiaobei, I'm here, I'm fine."
When Zhao Rongsheng heard the voice at first, he thought he was hallucinating, but Shen Yibei reacted first: "Grandma."
The two stopped and ran towards Jiang Qiuli. Zhao Rongsheng looked Jiang Qiuli up and down several times, still worriedly asking:
"Are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Jiang Qiuli shook her head. "I'm fine. I ran out before the cowshed collapsed. I just went to the team leader's place."
Only then did Shen Yibei and Zhao Rongsheng feel relieved, but they were still a little scared.
"It's all right, it's all right."
It's raining now, and the cowshed cannot be built for the time being. Fortunately, there is an empty small house not far away, which is less than ten square meters in size, but at least there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
Jiang Qiuli had just gone there to discuss this matter with the team leader Gao Zhifu, asking them to stay there temporarily. Although they were sent down, they still had to be given a place to live, so Gao Zhifu agreed.
"Let's find some necessary things first and get through today."
It is still raining and several people have been wet for a while. Not to mention clothes, they have to find the stove and pot, otherwise they won’t even be able to drink water.
"You guys go over and rest for a while, I'll look for it myself, I know where it is." Shen Yibei drove Zhao Rongsheng and Jiang Qiuli to the small house over there, and started looking for it alone in the rain.
He moved quickly and soon found everything, including the medicine Jiang Qiuli used to treat her eyes.
Holding the things, Shen Yibei ran all the way into the hut, running back and forth three times to find all the necessities. Zhao Rongsheng took the bucket to fetch water, washed it briefly, and then lit the stove to boil water.
The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren then took a short break, and Jiang Qiuli told them about being rescued by Feng Guizhi.
"I was originally sleeping in the house, and I woke up when I heard someone shouting outside... She pulled me out and said that the cowshed was going to collapse. We had just run a few steps when the cowshed behind us collapsed with a bang!..." Jiang Qiuli still feels a little scared when she thinks about it now.
Just a little bit, otherwise she would be buried in it.
Shen Yibei and Zhao Rongsheng frowned when they heard this, and they were also frightened. At the same time, they were extremely grateful to the person who saved Jiang Qiuli.
"Whose family saved you? Although our identities make it inconvenient, we must repay such a great favor."
Shen Yibei was also listening, keeping this kindness in his heart.
Jiang Qiuli shook her head. "I asked, but she didn't tell me. But judging from the direction they were going, they must be from the Red Flag Production Brigade next door."
Zhao
Rong Sheng nodded, "Then let's wait until we find the family and then figure out how to repay them."
"Um."
.......
In the main room, Baoya didn't know that Song Jianye had returned. She was currently studying ancient poetry with Song Bowen, Song Boyu and others.
The little ones in the house were really bored staying at home these days, but they couldn't go out anyway, so they were all called into the main room and started teaching them to read.
Song Bowen thought that Yunduo and Tianen would also have to go to school when school started soon, so he took the textbook and taught them the first grade content first.
"I slept through the spring night, and heard birds singing everywhere..."
Yuanbao also recited: "Spring sleep does not wake up until dawn, mosquitoes bite everywhere~ Ah! I know what this means. It means that in spring, you can't sleep because there are always mosquitoes biting you."
After saying that, he started scratching his head again: "But there aren't that many mosquitoes in the spring, they only appear in the summer. So, it should be that we don't feel the dawn in the summer, right?"
“.......”
"Yuanbao, if you say this in school, the teacher will punish you by making you copy a book fifty times." Song Boyu said to Yuanbao with a complicated expression.
"Ah? Isn't that what you mean?" Yuanbao looked unconvinced. He felt that this was what it meant.
"Okay, the meaning of this poem is actually about sleeping in spring..." Song Bowen quickly interrupted the conversation between the two and forced everyone's attention back to the small classroom.
Baoya had been worried about Song Jianye's leg these past few days, and hadn't studied hard the last two times. Today, she learned that Song Jianye had gone to town to get his leg treated, and although she was worried, she started studying more seriously.
She sat there listening obediently, repeating every word Song Bowen read, though she didn't quite know some of the characters. But Yuanbao next to her couldn't do it. He tried hard to remember, but soon his eyes started to become dazed.
Ancient poetry is so difficult that he can't remember it.
After holding on for a while, Yuanbao couldn't hold it in any longer, and it felt like there were nails on his butt. He turned to look at Baoya who was serious and scratched his head.
He endured for a few more minutes, but couldn't help but move closer to Baoya and asked her, "Sister Xiaobao, where is the little red I gave you? Let's go find Xiaohong to play with her."
Xiaohong is the crayfish.
Baoya blinked. Xiaohong was staying peacefully in her jar in her room. She looked at Song Bowen and Song Boyu, who were teaching in the front, and thought that she could play with Xiaohong before going to bed tonight. Now was the time to study.
"Read, at night, play
"Baoya said softly.
Seeing that they were all studying, even little sister Xiaobao was so serious, Yuanbao felt shocked.
Why do they still like studying if it's so difficult? Yuanbao thought helplessly as he lay on the table.
After dinner in the evening, Baoya and Tianen found out that Song Jianye did not go to the town to treat his leg. The two little ones frowned and became depressed.
Song Jianye pinched their little faces and said, "It's okay. It doesn't matter to Dad whether his leg is cured or not. This may also depend on fate. Maybe one day I will meet a doctor with excellent skills who can cure Dad's leg in one go. You are still young, so you don't need to worry about these things."
Tian'en was still a little sad, so he went forward and lay in Song Jianye's arms. Song Jianye also took Baoya in his arms and whispered some comforting words to them.
"There's a line in a poem that goes, 'When you're at the end of your rope, you think there's no way out, but when you're looking up, you'll find another village.' It means that when you feel like you've reached the end of your rope and there seems to be no way out, maybe a little longer will lead to a new opportunity. So, don't rush to treat your leg; it might just be that the time hasn't come yet."
"Just like your little sister Xiaobao, she couldn't speak at first. It's not that she really couldn't, it's just that the time hasn't come yet. When the time comes, she will be able to speak. Do you understand?"
Song Tianen probably understood what he meant. He looked at Baoya and suddenly felt less sad. Maybe his father's legs were just like his sister Xiaobao's, just a little later in speaking.
Baoya looked at Song Jianye with her eyes open, not quite understanding what he said, but she remembered what he said, that as long as she met a good doctor, he could cure her father's leg.
The rain continued for two more days and finally stopped on the third day.
The road was still a little difficult to walk, but Shen Yibei always remembered what he said about giving Baoya something last time. Although he was not sure whether they would come out, he still ran to the mountain to find another one, and then went to the place where he saw Baoya last time to wait.
He looked at the thing in his hand and thought uncertainly: Will they come today?
