Tian Yuzhu pushed open the door of the second house which was half-open.
These houses are built along the street. The front house is a whole small bungalow, and there is a backyard through the bungalow.
There was no one in the front room and the furniture was relatively simple, so you could tell at a glance whether there were any children there.
Walking through the front house and reaching the backyard, what I saw was a particularly warm scene...
Coincidentally, Qin Xu also hurried in at this time. Tian Yuzhu quickly reached out to stop him and signaled him not to make a sound.
“…”
The two of them looked towards the yard quietly.
I saw Erhu snuggled in the arms of an elderly lady. The old and the young were looking at the trap on the ground with a focused expression.
A bamboo basket was propped up with a stick, and there were some rice grains on the ground within the range covered by the bamboo basket.
The rope tied to the supporting wooden stick was in the old lady's hand. At this time, two little birds were hopping towards the bamboo basket not far away.
When they reach the bamboo basket, the old lady pulls the rope in her hand and the two little birds will be caught.
This scene is very interesting.
Tian Yuzhu couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips slightly.
Little boy Erhu had no idea that his mother Feng Chun was about to cry herself to death. He just enjoyed this moment of joy with a childlike face.
The old and the young seem to be crossing time together, how wonderful!
Qin Xu's gaze quietly shifted from the old lady and Erhu to Tian Yuzhu's face.
Her beauty is like the morning dew and the midnight fragrance.
The smile on her face is like a spring breeze, making people's hearts beat fast!!!
The bird finally walked under the bamboo basket, and the old lady suddenly pulled the rope in her hand.
The bamboo basket fell down and actually covered one of them.
"I caught it, I caught it." Erhu jumped up and down with joy.
The old lady was also very happy. She patted the baby's head and said, "I'll catch it for you."
Tian Yuzhu finally spoke, "Erhu." She approached and politely addressed the old lady, "Hello, Grandma. I'm so sorry, but this kid is from our military district. He got lost on his own. I'm sorry to have caused you so much trouble!"
The old lady shook her hand: "It's no trouble. I'm happy to have a child at home."
Go get a bamboo basket to catch birds.
Tian Yuzhu hurried forward to help.
Qin Xu finally calmed down...
He also hurried forward to help, pretending to be nonchalant and joking: "I didn't expect Grandma Qiao to have this skill!"
Grandma Qiao looked up and smiled brightly: "Oh, Mayor Qin."
"Haven't I told you many times, just call me Xiao Qin." Qin Xu Nuan smiled and helped her tie the knot on the bird's feet. The bird was held by Tian Yuzhu.
Her fingers are long and thin, and her skin is white and delicate. You can't tell at all that she is a working person from the countryside.
Grandma Qin said cheerfully: "No, no matter how old you are, we have to follow the rules. We can't mess around."
It can be seen that the old lady is a person of principle.
After chatting for a few more words and coming out of Grandma Qiao's house, Tian Yuzhu learned about it from Qin Xu.
It turned out that Grandma Qiao's husband was an old Red Army soldier who did not come back alive in a battle against the Japanese invaders. She left behind a son, and now she lives with her son and daughter-in-law.
In this way, Grandma Qiao can also be considered a military family member, and a very respectable older generation military family member.
No wonder her personality is much brighter and more generous than that of an ordinary old lady.
We walked onto the street while chatting.
Seeing that they found Erhu, everyone gathered around excitedly.
Feng Chun, in particular, rushed over, bent down, hugged the baby, and burst into tears: "You scared Mom to death, you scared Mom to death!"
Erhu was completely bewildered: "..."
The little guy had no idea what was going on.
He just went to his ancestor's house to play for a while.
Unexpectedly, before he could come to his senses, Feng Chun slapped him on the butt: "I told you to run again, are you going to run again? Huh?"
Erhu was beaten before he even understood what was happening and he was so scared that he burst into tears.
Everyone quickly persuaded Feng Chun not to hit the child.
Wang Xiudi was responsible for this matter. She stepped forward and hugged Erhu in her arms, saying sternly, "Achun, that's enough. The child is only a little kid. It's enough that we've found him. What else are you trying to do?"
A military wife should behave like this. What's wrong with crying and making a fuss?
Feng Chun then calmed down a little and sobbed while wiping away tears.
Seeing that there was nothing to worry about, Tian Yuzhu said to Wang Xiudi, "Sister-in-law, please help take Dahu and Erhu back first. I'll go to the oil press to get some oil."
She now bought a pair of barrels, plus the pair of wooden barrels she brought on her shoulders, making two pairs of barrels in a stack.
Then put all the oil bottles in and pick them out.
Zhao Cui said that she would go and pick her own bucket and her sister-in-law's bucket.
They both knew that only Wang Xiu Di could cure Feng Chun, and now she had to accompany them back to the military region.
Wang Xiudi nodded in understanding: "Ah Chun, why don't you hurry up and thank the neighbors for helping to find your baby?"
After Feng Chun really did as she said, he went back to the military region with her and the two children.
Qin Xu also asked the neighbors to disperse.
"Thank you, Mayor Qin!"
Tian Yuzhu was a little slow, as she had to express her gratitude on behalf of the military wives for the leader's help.
Qin Xu smiled and shook his hand: "It's okay, it's no big deal."
At this moment, a town government staff member came running over and said, "Mayor, a few foreign friends just arrived, saying they're here for an inspection."
"Foreign friends?" Qin Xu's eyes flashed with confusion: "Do you have a letter of introduction?"
"Yes, and there is another overseas Chinese who translates for them."
"Why haven't I received any notification from above? Let's go and take a look."
Qin Xu hurriedly told Tian Yuzhu that he had something to do and had to leave first, then hurried away with his colleagues.
Tian Yuzhu thought to herself, what are foreign friends investigating?
Logically speaking, such a big thing is usually arranged by the higher authorities, and Qin Xu, as the mayor, should have received the call a long time ago.
But from what he said it seemed like he had no idea about it beforehand, which is totally against the rules.
"Yuzhu, let's go!" Zhao Cui found that the girl was in a daze!
Tian Yuzhu came to her senses and quickly followed her.
They went to the oil press to get oil and barrels and rushed to the military area.
Not long after walking out, he caught up with Wang Xiu Di, Feng Chun and others.
The two of them carried the two brothers, Dahu and Erhu, one on each of their backs.
The weather was so hot that Feng Chun no longer had the energy to scold the child.
But when she saw the oil in Tian Yuzhu's bucket, her eyes lit up: "Sister-in-law, how can you squeeze out so much oil?"
Wang Xiudi glanced at her and said, "You're from the local area, but you don't know as much as Yuzhu. If she hadn't led the way, I wouldn't have known that white sesame seeds could be used to make oil, and the oil is so fragrant."
"Sister-in-law, can you take me with you? I'll go pick perilla seeds with you in the future."
"Don't ask me that." Wang Xiu Di glanced at Tian Yuzhu.
She knew that Feng Chun was having a hard time, as the baby was growing older and the expenses were increasing.
But this person is just lazy. She is too lazy to cultivate the private plots in the army and just hopes to live on the pension every month.
If we could let her help pick perilla seeds and press oil, we could save a little money.
But this matter was initiated by Tian Yuzhu, so you have to ask Yuzhu. If she disagrees, no one can speak up.
