When Song Jianshe was leaving this time, he somehow woke Yuanbao up. When he was half asleep and half awake, Yuanbao cried when he saw Song Jianshe leaving.
Finally, Li Qingyan coaxed him to sleep for a long time.
However, when he woke up, Yuanbao was no longer sad. He had actually gotten used to it. It was just that, in his half-sleep, he suddenly felt a little reluctant. Yuanbao scratched his head.
At this moment, Yuanbao was not sad at all, but rather annoyed, because he forgot to tell his father to bring some delicious food when he came back!
Although Song Jianshe would buy some food every time he came back, such as White Rabbit milk candy or malted milk, Yuanbao had tried the pig liver porridge last time and found it particularly delicious, so he wanted his father to buy some more when he came back next time.
Yuanbao sighed, alas, I forgot all about it because I cried so much at that time.
Yuanbao had no choice but to repeat a few more words in his mind, hoping that Song Jianshe could understand his thoughts. However, Yuanbao only thought about it for a while, and soon his attention was drawn away by other things.
"Grandma, when can we eat corn?" Yuanbao asked Feng Guizhi eagerly.
Feng Guizhi nodded in amusement, estimated the time in her mind, and then said, "Count on your fingers. Once you have counted four times on all ten fingers, you will be able to eat the corn."
Yuanbao looked down at his fingers, counted them back and forth several times, and found that he had no idea how many days it was. So he simply gave up counting. Anyway, it should be ready to eat soon!
Yuanbao became happy and agreed immediately: "Okay."
Feng Guizhi smiled and nodded at him, then turned around and continued to work.
The corn seedlings in the private plot behind have grown a little. Yuanbao counts them on his fingers every day, and then pulls Baoya over to show them.
Looking at the green corn seedlings, which are treated so carefully, I am looking forward to eating them.
......
Two days later, the sky was completely clear and the summer heat returned. The people in the team also returned to their lives before the heavy rain, going to work every day to earn work points.
The people in the old Song family also became busy, but when they thought of Song Jianye, they couldn't help but sigh.
It has been almost ten days since the accident and the rain. Although I can go to the town hospital now, the delay is really too long. In addition, the main labor force in the family is
Song Aiguo and Song Aimin, their entire family depends on those work points. Now that there is a shortage of manpower to dig the river, they cannot take leave at will.
Also, Song Jianye himself didn't want to be treated anymore, so in the end the matter could only be left at that.
However, it had been raining for the past few days and it was boring for not only the children but also the adults. So, when they went to work these past two days, when everyone was working in the fields, the young wives and mothers gathered together and couldn't help but say a few words:
"I heard that the third son of the Song family seems to have a dislocated leg bone?"
"What? It's dislocated. Wasn't it being kept at home before? How did it get dislocated again?"
"Oh, you don't know yet, right? To be honest, this matter is somewhat related to Mrs. Tian's family. These two families are really enemies." As he said this, he clicked his tongue twice.
After hearing this, the daughter-in-law was still a little confused: "Isn't it about the third son of the Song family? Why is he involved in something with Mrs. Tian's family?"
"Yeah, what's going on? Tell me quickly."
"Before the rain, Mrs. Tian's grandsons took the third son to the mountains, and then..."
"I know that, but didn't they find out everything was fine later? What happened to the third brother's leg?"
"It was because his son was missing, and he went out to look for him. He ended up falling down in the mountains and dislocated some bones."
"Ah? His leg was broken, why did he run off instead of taking good care of it? Now what happened? My son is fine, but I'm the one who got into trouble."
"Everyone says that." Several people said this and shook their heads in disagreement.
Mrs. Li next to them interrupted and asked, "Hey, you guys just said that the third son of the Song family had his leg dislocated again. Who told you that? Is this true?"
"Auntie Li, don't you live next to Old Song's house? Don't you know about this?"
Mrs. Li shook her head: "How would I know? He stays at home and never goes out."
"Then how did you know? Is this true or false?" The wife next to him also began to doubt.
"Of course it's true. That's what Old Yang said. Old Song's family took the third child to the clinic to see him. Old Yang found that the bones were dislocated and said that Song Jianye's leg was incurable and that he would still limp even after he recovered."
When the others heard this, they couldn't help but sigh: "This is too tragic, it seemed like it could be cured, right?"
"Yeah, he could have gotten better with some rest, but he ended up like this after going out. Sigh."
"No wonder they say the Song family is unlucky. When people are down on their luck, there's really nothing they can do."
"Who says it isn't?"
“…”
After talking so much, Feng Guizhi, Yang Yulan and the others heard some of it. Feng Guizhi pretended not to hear anything and continued to do her own work. Yang Yulan felt a little uncomfortable listening to these words, mainly because she felt sorry for Song Jianye.
While Chen Xiuxiu was working, she heard a few women talking nearby. She put her hands on her hips and said back with a stern face: "If you want to talk about people behind their backs, do it quietly from a distance. Don't act like no one knows. You're just shouting at them with a megaphone."
"Is it worth talking about this little thing every day?"
"We just chatted for a few minutes, nothing much to say, let's get back to work." A daughter-in-law said something softly with a smile, then turned around and dispersed, each getting busy with their own work.
Chen Xiuxiu sighed as she thought about how her in-laws and sisters-in-law must have heard it. But since they had the right mouths, she couldn't stop them from speaking.
Chen Xiuxiu shook her head and stopped thinking about it. She lowered her head and continued working.
It's the hottest time of the year right now. It was fine the first two days after the rain, but the temperature has risen sharply these past two days. Even just standing in the sun for twenty minutes makes me drenched in sweat, let alone work. If I sweat so much, any more work will leave me thirsty and I have to drink a lot of water.
They would bring a pot of water with them before going to work, but that little water was not enough to drink, so around three or four in the afternoon, the younger members of Old Song's family would go to the fields to deliver water.
Because the weather was hot, the children stayed at home during the noon period to play and learn to recognize words. When it was not so hot, they went out to continue looking for cicada shells.
It was just after three o'clock when the water was delivered and the kids went out, which was just the right time.
Yesterday, Song Bowen and Yun Duo went to deliver water to Song Aiguo and Song Aimin, and today it was Baoya and Song Tianen's turn.
It was still too hot at the moment, so Song Aiguo and Song Aimin were not digging the river, but were still busy working in the fields. Baoya and Tianen also went to the fields where they worked.
This location is close to the Yuejin Production Brigade next door. When two people go there, they have to take a road shared by the two production brigades.
On the way, Song Tianen said: "Xiaobao
Sister...sister, I'll pick...pick mulberries for you when we go to the mountain later, okay...okay?"
Mulberries were what Shen Yibei told them when they followed him these past two days. When the little ones ate them for the first time, their hands were covered in red juice.
Baoya thought about the sour and sweet taste of mulberries, nodded her head, and said in a soft and sweet voice, "Okay~."
That's right, Baoya remembered that she had stained her clothes with color last time. She looked down at the new clothes Yang Yulan had made for her, and thought in her little head that she had to be more careful when eating this time and not get her clothes dirty.
The two children walked over while talking. Not far away, Jiang Qiuli was working in the fields. She had been bending over for a long time, which made her feel very sore. She slowly straightened her body to relax for a while.
She raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and her eyes happened to see Baoya who had just walked past.
She was startled and quickly took two steps forward. She didn't have time to see Baoya's face, but just looking at her back, Jiang Qiuli felt that she looked familiar.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Rongsheng was not far from Jiang Qiuli. Seeing that her reaction was not right, he raised his head and looked over and asked.
Jiang Qiuli walked over to Zhao Rongsheng, her eyes still fixed on Baoya, and said hurriedly, "I just saw two children walking over. One of them looked like the child of the family that saved me that day."
Jiang Qiuli pointed to Zhao Rongsheng and said, "It's right there, do you see it?"
Zhao Rongsheng looked in the direction of her hand, but Baoya and Tianen had already walked some distance away, so he couldn't see clearly.
Jiang Qiuli started to get anxious. "It looks like him, but I can't see his face, so I don't know if he is the real one. I finally came across him, so I have to go and take a look."
Jiang Qiuli was about to leave when Zhao Rongsheng stopped her, saying, "It's too hot out here. Don't run away. Don't run back and get a heat stroke. Stay here. I'll go with you and see if I can find it."
Zhao Rongsheng had heard Jiang Qiuli's description and probably had an impression of Baoya. He hurried out of the field, went around to the road and chased Baoya and the others.
Coming down from the main road, Baoya and Tianen turned into a small road. Not far away, they arrived at the place where Song Aiguo and Song Aimin worked.
They stood at the edge of the field, and Tian'en called out to the busy Song Aiguo, "Uncle!"
Song Aiguo was still busy working and didn't hear anything. Song Tianen put his hand to his mouth as a megaphone and shouted again:
"Big~
Uncle! "
Song Aiguo heard it this time. He stood up and looked in the direction of the two children. After recognizing them, he strode over.
"Today, Tian'en and Baoya are the ones bringing water to uncle?" Song Aiguo wiped the sweat off his face by grabbing his clothes and said with a smile.
He had wanted to rub their heads, but when he saw his hands were a little dirty, he gave up. Song Aiguo took the water from Baoya, filled the pot, and drank two big gulps.
My smoking throat finally feels better.
It was really hot that day, and the sun was so strong and scorching that Song Aiguo had already become much darker in just a few days.
He looked at the sun above his head, then at Baoya's fair and tender little face, and couldn't help but say, "Don't come next time, let Bowen Boyu and the others take you there. The sun is so strong, don't get tanned."
Song Tianen is okay. Although he is not very white, he is not dark either. He has a normal skin color.
But Baoya is different. It is a white and tender ball, especially under the sun, it looks so white that it seems to be glowing.
Song Aiguo, a rough man who never cared about his skin color, couldn't bear to look at Baoya, fearing that Baoya would get tanned because of delivering water.
Song Tianen wanted to say it was okay, he was a man and it was okay for him to have some black spots, but when he saw Baoya, he was speechless. He could have some black spots, but, but, his little sister Xiaobao couldn't have any black spots.
He said, "Next time I'll... do it myself and let Xiaobao stay... at home. That way she won't get... tanned."
Baoya frowned and said, "Come on, let's go together."
Knowing that they were afraid of getting tanned, Baoya opened her eyes wide and added: "Wear a hat, and you won't get tanned."
Song Aiguo looked at the two little ones and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, next time you come, wear a hat so you won't get tanned."
After he poured out half of the water in the kettle, he handed it back. They had to give the rest to Song Aimin.
"Okay, go ahead, and go home as soon as you're done."
Baoya nodded, and continued walking forward with Song Tianen holding her hand. Song Aimin was also working in the same area, not far away.
Zhao Rongsheng chased to the intersection of the path. He looked inside along the path, but he could no longer see Baoya and Tianen.
A little further inside the path there is a small ditch filled with tall reeds that block the view.
He walked a little further inside, but still didn't see Baoya and the others.
After all, he was a demoted person, and he was in the Yuejin Production Brigade. It was not a good idea for him to go too far into the Hongqi Production Brigade at this time, so as not to arouse people's suspicion. He could only sigh and turn back.
As I was leaving, I faintly heard a voice coming from the other side: "...it was bought by Old Song's family for ten yuan...they were so poor, but they still spent so much...I heard that his third son's leg..."
"...What bad luck! Hey, you say, this thing can't be related to the girl I paid for..."
"It's hard to say..."
Zhao Rongsheng didn't listen very carefully, and the sound gradually faded away.
"How is it? Did you find it?" Jiang Qiuli asked hurriedly when she saw Zhao Rongsheng coming back.
Zhao Rongsheng shook his head: "No, I couldn't see anyone when I went over there."
Jiang Qiuli sighed a little disappointedly, then thought of something and said, "Maybe they'll pass by here later. Let's keep an eye out, maybe we can run into them."
Zhao Rongsheng nodded: "You are right, let's pay attention and see."
However, after Baoya and Tianen delivered water to Song Aimin, they went back from another road and did not go this way, so the two of them could not wait.
"Well, let's see tomorrow."
After work, Zhao Rongsheng and Jiang Qiuli went back together. Shen Yibei was still on the back mountain.
After delivering the water, Baoya and Tianen Yuanbao also came to the back mountain. After looking for a while, Shen Yibei came. In the past few days, they came to the back mountain with Shen Yibei. Now, the little ones all regarded Shen Yibei as the big brother.
"Hurry up and pick up cicada shells today. I'll take you somewhere after you finish picking them up."
"Where? Are we going to pick mulberries?"
Shen Yibei shook his head: “No, you will know later.”
