Chapter 1245 Whatever
I told Chen Guifen and Tian Guihua all the precautions I could think of at the moment.
Fu Jingyou took out a towel, went to the backyard to fetch a bucket of water, added some hot water and returned to the room.
Although it was not that cold in the south this year, Lu Miao was weak and the conditions in her hometown were not as good as those in northern Beijing. After she lay down, she curled up in fear of the cold.
Fu Jingyou stroked her forehead.
He had originally planned to wipe her face, but seeing her like this, he was afraid that she would loosen her clothes and catch a cold again, so Fu Jingyou simply gave up the idea.
He quickly washed up in the room, hung up the towel and put the bucket back. Then, wanting to warm up the house as soon as possible, he came back and turned up the stove damper a little.
After finishing all this, he locked the door, undressed, got into bed and lay down with Lu Miao in his arms.
He was warm, and Lu Miao felt more comfortable next to him.
The other one was indeed a little tired because he had been highly focused all the way from north to south.
While Lu Miao was fast asleep, he also had to hurry up and get some sleep.
Otherwise, when I get busy again tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I might not be able to take care of everything at the same time...
With him warming the bed, Lu Miao gradually stretched out his arms and legs, and leaned against his arms unconsciously.
Fu Jingyou was about to fall asleep when he noticed her slight movement. He smoothed his big hand on her back, hugged her and fell asleep with her.
The couple in the room had just fallen asleep when the whole family outside the door started to get busy.
Lu Miao had said earlier that the vegetables in the countryside that had been frosted were delicious.
Chen Guifen remembered what she said.
Tian Guihua was picking out some snow clams and bird's nests at home and quickly soaking them to prepare.
Before it got dark and the road was unclear, Chen Guifen asked He Erge to carry a basket to the fields to pick some fresh vegetables.
After explaining this, the old couple went to the He family.
Taking advantage of the dim light, one of them went to the chicken coop to catch and kill chickens, while the other took out the bedding and went to make the bed in He Erge's room.
When they first received the letter, everyone back home thought Fu Jingyou and Lu Miao would not be coming back.
As the New Year was coming to an end, He Erge said that he would still live at the Fu family's place so as to avoid the trouble of moving back and forth.
But now that Fu Jingyou and Lu Miao are back, some changes need to be made at home.
The main reason is that Minmin is back too.
Chen Guifen was afraid that Zhao Lanxiang would cause trouble, so she suggested that Minmin, Tian Guihua, Minrui and others continue to live in the Fu family.
As for He Erge, the second uncle, and Minjie, who is not young anymore?
There are differences between men and women. They can go to the Fu family for meals during the day, but Chen Guifen asks them to go back to the He family for rest at night.
This arrangement was naturally appropriate, but for Zhao Lanxiang, who still lived under the same roof with the old couple, she was so angry that she was trembling.
It turned out that because it was the New Year, Minrui was unwilling to go back to the main house to live with Zhao Lanxiang, which made Zhao Lanxiang very upset.
Now Minmin is back with Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou. There is no need to mention the fact that they were escorted by three powerful little cars when they entered the village.
Zhao Lanxiang held her breath and didn't go to the threshing ground to watch the fun.
But Zhao Lanxiang also heard about it from others afterwards.
They carried several boxes as big as small table tops out of the car!
All those big boxes were taken to the Fu family without exception. Zhao Lanxiang was so angry about this that her chest ached.
Last time, Minmin sent more than 80 yuan home. Although not a penny of it went into Zhao Lanxiang's hands, through that incident, Zhao Lanxiang had already determined that Minmin must have made a lot of money outside.
Thinking of the big boxes that the villagers talked about, Zhao Lanxiang couldn't help wondering which one of them was Minmin's.
When Zhao Lanxiang thought about the money her daughter earned and the things she bought, which she, her own mother, didn't even get to enjoy at all before they were all taken away to other families, she felt as if she were being pricked by needles.
In the past, whenever something unpleasant happened, Brother He would usually escape reality and go to sleep, while Zhao Lanxiang would mutter in the room.
But this time it's different.
Brother He paced around the room with his hands on his hips, occasionally bending over and lowering his upper body to glance out the window.
Seeing that everyone outside was busy but no one paid any attention to them, Brother He had a hard time telling how he felt.
After watching quietly for a while, Brother He suddenly turned around and impatiently kicked Zhao Lanxiang, who was lying on the bed with her legs hanging down.
"What time is it? You're lying there without even cooking? How can you live if you can't even eat a warm meal all day? If you don't want to cook, then get up and pack up. Let's go to Zhao's house while we can still see."
How could Zhao Lanxiang not hear Brother He’s subtext?
She wanted to scold Brother He for being shameless, thinking of going to his father-in-law's house for a free meal during the New Year.
But she was probably sick, her chest felt very stuffy and she had no energy.
Zhao Lanxiang lay on the bed without moving.
Brother He didn't get a response, and he felt upset.
Amid the sounds of chickens being slaughtered outside and the crowing of roosters, Brother He kicked over a chair in the room in anger.
But it didn't attract anyone's attention.
Brother He twitched the corners of his mouth, then finally lowered his head and sat down beside the bed.
After the old couple finished cleaning up and carried the bled rooster out of the house, Brother He left the room and went to the main room to pour hot water and make a bowl of lotus root powder.
Do you think life is miserable?
Brother He would definitely say "cowardly".
But now that it has come to this, what can I do if I am so cowardly?
Eating a bowl of bland lotus root powder in a hurry is considered a meal.
Brother He wiped the corner of his mouth, went to the kitchen to wash the enamel bowl, and put it back in the drawer of the table.
He fetched water to wash up, and went to bed when it was time.
As for Zhao Lanxiang?
Brother He thought:
Whatever.
He is tired.
He doesn't know how to get through tomorrow.
He can't control other people or things, nor does he want to control them anymore.
Let's just make do with it.
…
Fu Jingyou went to bed early the day before and got up early the next day.
The house was quiet at four o'clock in the morning. Fu Jingyou got up, changed the coal in the stove, and tiptoed out.
In the room opposite the main hall, Tian Guihua heard the noise and got up to put on her clothes.
When I arrived at the backyard, Fu Jingyou was bending over to brush his teeth and wash up.
"Second sister-in-law."
Fu Jingyou spat out the toothpaste foam and said hello.
Tian Guihua yawned and looked at the sky:
"The roosters haven't even crowed yet. What are you doing up so early?"
"I'm going to buy some things. If we go to town early, we'll have more things to do. Miaomiao needs to sleep a little longer. By the time she wakes up, I'll be able to get back."
Tian Guihua nodded after hearing this, and could not help but persuade:
"That's too early! You should go back to sleep. Your second brother is on vacation and has nothing to do these days. If you want to buy something, just wait until he comes in the morning and ask him to ride his bike to buy it."
"No need, sister-in-law. I can go. It's fast to drive back and forth."
Fu Jingyou was determined, so Tian Guihua didn't say anything more.
She brought the remaining half pot of hot water from the main room for Fu Jingyou to use for washing his face. Tian Guihua went back to the front room, opened the chicken coop, and let all the chickens out.
