Chapter 414 Goodbye Lai Xiang
414
As soon as the car stopped, Tang Yue got out and immediately fell into a cold embrace. Lai Xiang's sobbing could be heard in her ears. "Xiao Yueyue, it's so good to see that you are safe. Where did you go? Why didn't you tell me? You made me so anxious."
Tang Yue's big eyes blinked as she stared at Tang Jianye, but Tang Jianye had forgotten about this matter. Last time, he returned to the army early to deliver the news, and Tang Yue stayed in the cowshed by herself.
Later, Tang Yue left with the two people who secretly delivered the treasure without leaving any message for Tang Jianye, so Tang Jianye couldn't find her.
No one was seen across the border, and Tang Jianye later made two trips to look for her. Lai Xiang and the others living in the cowshed were terribly worried. Especially Lai Xiang's parents, whose child had vanished just to see them. How could they possibly rest in peace?
Wu Jinghua's condition began to relapse. Elder Ke and Elder Xu were also worried. The little girl had done them a favor. If she hadn't come, they might have frozen to death on that freezing night. How could they have eaten and slept so well as they did now?
Moreover, after taking medicine, the injuries of the two elders gradually improved and their spirits became different.
"Well, I couldn't find you at that time, so I came back twice to look for clues about you."
Tang Yue understood the situation and knew that Tang Jianye was too concerned about her. She didn't mean to blame him. Tang Yue patted Lai Xiang, but she didn't care where she was. She was too small and couldn't reach her back at all.
"Sister Lai, it's too cold outside. Let's go back inside and talk."
Lai Xiang finally reacted and immediately picked up Tang Yue clumsily and walked towards the house. Tang Yue...
This feeling is very strange, really.
"Sister Lai, please put me down quickly. I can walk by myself." Lai Xiang was a little reluctant, but she really couldn't hold Tang Yue. She could only put Tang Yue down in disappointment.
After Tang Yue left, the team leader brought his men to the house they had built last time and gave it a thorough finishing touch. The doors and windows were all installed. A thick gate was also added to the snow wall. Lai Xiang pushed the gate open and led the two of them into the courtyard.
The two piles of firewood Tang Yue had placed here last time had been covered by Lai Xiang's straw curtain. However, the amount was obviously much less. "Xiao Yueyue, you got these firewood here, right?"
Tang Yue didn't deny it, and Lai Xiang sighed. "Yueyue, I'll never be able to repay the kindness you've shown our family."
Tang Yue chuckled, "Sister Lai, it's a bit strange for you to say that."
Lai Xiang opened the door, and a wave of hot air rushed out. Several people hurried inside. Tang Yue looked at the furnishings in the room. Everything was very simple. The small table and chairs were made by Lai Xiang using the firewood Tang Yue had stacked, with grooves of the same length and width dug out using a falcon-shaped structure. There was also a wooden box and a kang table.
"Yueyue, the cut wood you sent is so fine, it's a waste to use it as firewood. Look, I made all of this myself using some tools I borrowed in the village."
The smell of raw wood lingered in the air, and it was particularly pleasant. Lai Xiang was also very skilled, and these small pieces of furniture were well made. She had a lot of furniture in her space, but she had no reason to show it off.
It’s good that Sister Lai can solve these problems by herself.
Tang Yue gave Tang Jianye a look, and Tang Jianye resigned himself to his fate and went out to move food. Lai Xiang immediately stopped him, "Yueyue, I still have a lot of food here, enough to eat. I can go back to work when spring comes, and then I can earn my own money."
"Really, Yueyue, you have helped me and our family enough. Now everything is really good, Yueyue, you really don't need to bring me anything anymore. I am really happy that you can come to see me."
Before Tang Yue could say anything, Tang Jianye had already gently pushed Lai Xiang aside and walked out. Tang Jianye knew that Tang Yue had a lot of good things, and giving this to Lai Xiang was nothing at all.
Moreover, he knew the little girl's temper. As long as someone treated her well, she would repay them a thousandfold. If she was not allowed to leave something for Lai Xiang, the little girl would definitely be very sad.
Seeing that she couldn't stop it, Lai Xiang could only shake her head helplessly. "Xiao Yueyue, are you really okay? Are you hurt anywhere?" Lai Xiang felt very guilty. She didn't take good care of Yueyue and let the little girl find it herself.
She felt really bad.
"Sister Lai, I'm fine. I disappeared suddenly because I went on a mission. You don't have to blame yourself. Are you okay?"
Tang Yue felt that Lai Xiang was much better than she had been a few days ago. Her whole spirit and energy were completely different.
Lai Xiang held Tang Yue's small hand in his own, "Yueyue, it has never been so good. Really, I have never felt so wanton. The whole house is mine. As long as I don't leave, I can live here forever."
"I'm still so close to my parents. I can visit them whenever I want. I don't have to write letters and wait over a month for a reply."
"There's no need to envy others. I'm also by my parents' side, and this feeling is truly blissful. And what makes me most satisfied is that I can still do my part for them."
Lai Xiang hugged Tang Yue again and said, "Yueyue, I really, really appreciate you. Without you, none of this would have been possible. Who knows, our family might be lying in a snow cave right now."
Tang Jianye came in carrying a large bag of cabbages, "Lai Xiang, where should we put these cabbages?"
Lai Xiang stood up and looked at the big bag of juicy cabbage, unable to recover from his shock. This cabbage was stored too well. "Oh, oh, put it in the west room. There's no kang over there, so the temperature isn't high."
Then, Tang Jianye brought in several more bags of potatoes, white radishes, and green radishes, along with three bags of rice and flour. Lai Xiang was numbed by the sight.
"Sister Lai, let's cook. We're both hungry." Tang Jianye came in carrying half a pig. "Yes, Xiao Yueyue, how about we eat dumplings? I haven't had dumplings in a long time."
"Okay, then you two take a break, I'll start making dumplings now."
Lai Xiang didn't ask where these things came from. She just remembered Yueyue's kindness. She had learned many skills now. Although the dumplings were not as delicious as Lin Cuicui's, Tang Yue still ate a lot. It was dark outside, and it was completely quiet.
"Sister Lai, let's go to the bullpen."
Lai Xiang came out with a large black clay pot filled with most of the dumplings, and said, "Let's go."
"Sister Lai, you are not in any danger here, right?"
Lai Xiang smiled. "No, no one could climb up this two-meter-high ice wall. Two educated youth did come over and cause trouble, but they were both sent away by the team leader."
The captain had someone make this door for me. I traded it for flour. It's incredibly strong. As long as I don't open it, no one can get in."
Tang Yue felt relieved.
After getting in the car, Lai Xiang realized that there was a lot of rice and flour on the passenger seat and the back seat. "Yueyue, I..."
Tang Yue waved her hand nonchalantly, "Sister Lai, don't be polite with me. I really don't need these things. You can use them without worry."
Lai Xiang could only accept it with a smile. "Yueyue, the waterproof membrane you used for my parents is really great. Now they even have a layer on the floor. Especially during the day when the sun is out, the house is so warm."
"They originally thought they couldn't survive this winter, but with you, their lives have become so much more comfortable."
"Is Auntie's illness healed?"
Lai Xiang was a little sad when she mentioned this. "No, she's fine. She will definitely be fine this time."
They soon reached the outside of the cowshed. Tang Jianye didn't turn on his headlights. The cowshed was on a slope, so they couldn't get up there and had to park at the bottom.
Now, only Lai Xiang's parents, Mr. Ke, and Mr. Xu were in the cowshed. The four of them got along very well.
Hearing the sound of a car outside, the few people in the house fell silent. Lai Xiang walked to the door and knocked gently, "Mom and Dad, it's me!"
