The villagers couldn't help but wipe away their tears when they saw the warm interaction between the two families.
The saying that distant relatives are close neighbors is true. When something happens, you still have to rely on your fellow villagers for help.
But such a touching scene seems to some people like a needle pricking their eyes.
If Lu Juanjuan wasn't strong enough inside, the fake smile on her face wouldn't be visible at all.
Unfortunately, she was a cadre, so not only could she not show her unhappiness, she also had to smile and congratulate.
As for Shi Xiaoli, she didn't even bother to hide, especially after seeing Kong Xingbai also applauding, she turned around and stood in the corner with dissatisfaction.
When Yang Dahua saw her daughter unhappy, she gritted her teeth in hatred.
I didn’t expect that the fool was not killed by the wolf and is now called a heroine.
Fuck you!
What do you call this? You want her to have a bad life, but she's getting better and better. It's really weird.
After chatting for a few more sentences, Lv Huanying said with some embarrassment: "Secretary, Yuzhu has made a contribution this time and saved people. It's a good thing, but... her... her clothes must be mostly wet now. I'm thinking of asking her to change..."
In fact, the old lady had wanted to say these words before, but everyone was too enthusiastic.
But if I don’t change it now, what if the silly girl catches a cold?
"Look at my brain." Secretary Zhang finally reacted, slapped his forehead and quickly stood up: "Come on, come on, everyone, disperse and do what you need to do."
In this way, all the villagers and cadres dispersed.
Only Zheng Mudan handed the baby in her arms to Xu Jian and took the bag that Xu Jian was holding.
"Grandma, I've already prepared some clothes for Sister Yuzhu to change into. They're a little old, but they're clean. I washed them at the beginning of last spring, and they haven't been worn yet this year."
The villagers who were about to leave heard these words and all thought that Zheng Mudan was a good person.
She was very considerate, as she knew there were no extra clothes in the hut.
And Lu Huanying really wanted to ask Su Zhen to find two of her old clothes.
But in fact, Su Zhen didn't have many clothes. She only had two or three thin and torn pieces, and she wore them all on top of each other even in the middle of winter.
Seeing Zheng Mudan so enthusiastic, she had no choice but to compromise: "Thank you, Mudan."
Zheng Mudan said seriously, "Grandma, we are a family and we should keep our distance. Please don't mention the word 'thank you' again, or I won't be able to thank you and Yuzhu enough."
This man had a mouth and a pair of hands. While speaking, he opened the bundle neatly and took out all the clothes.
A cotton jacket with a blue background and small white flowers, and a pair of black cotton trousers.
Just as she said, although it was a bit old, it was clean and there was not a single patch on it.
In other people's homes, this could be worn as new clothes, but Zheng Mudan was so grateful that she would not be willing to give up even more old clothes, let alone this one.
"Okay, this dress is nice." Lv Huanying saw it and was very satisfied: "Yuzhu, come and change into the clothes your sister-in-law gave you. Don't get cold. Come here quickly."
After Tian Yuzhu saw that everyone in the room had left, she quickly got off the kang and warmed herself by the fire.
When I heard my grandma calling me, I got up and walked over.
Zheng Mudan enthusiastically came to help her unbutton her clothes. She was so scared that she subconsciously stepped back, looking alert: "..."
"This girl is shy, let her change by herself!" Lu Huanying explained hurriedly.
Zheng Mudan was immediately amused: "Sister is still a particular person, then fine, you change yourself, take off all the inner clothes and sister-in-law will wash them for you, wear this one today."
"Let me wash it. I have nothing to do." Su Zhen didn't want to be idle. She was happy from the bottom of her heart that the silly girl came back safely.
Zheng Mudan stopped arguing with her. She touched the kang and said, "Then I'll add some firewood to make it warmer."
Seeing that there was not much firewood in the hut, he hurried back to get some.
Tian Yuzhu changed her clothes here.
To be honest, she not only wanted to change her clothes, but also wanted to take a bath.
But under these conditions, she has nowhere to wash herself!
Except for the red jacket, which was a treasure given by the old lady and was still relatively clean, the other clothes that the original owner had worn were extremely dirty.
Su Zhen washed out several basins of dirty water, and at the same time she thought that she should find a way to give the silly girl a bath!
When Zheng Mudan came from home carrying firewood to heat the kang, she whispered to her, "Sister, I remember you used a big wooden tub to bathe during your confinement period. You're the only one in the village who has one. Can you lend it to Yuzhu to bathe in?"
"There's nothing I can't borrow. Go boil some water and I'll go get it."
Zheng Mudan hurried home again to get the big wooden basin.
After returning, the two of them worked together to set up a basin in the small thatched hut in the yard, boiled a few buckets of hot water, and poured it in, determined to give Yuzhu a bath.
Tian Yuzhu: “…”
Of course I want to soak in it right away when I wash her, but why not just help her wash it?
"Yuzhu, don't be shy. I've been through this before, so don't be afraid."
"Jade beads..."
The result was that the two sisters-in-law circled around the big wooden basin, and the silly girl refused to let them take off their clothes no matter what she said.
Tian Yuzhu also pretended to be stupid and blurted out two words: "You guys go out, I'll wash it myself, you guys go out."
Can she really wash herself?
Zheng Mudan and Su Zhen exchanged glances.
We can't keep making such a fuss. The water must be cold in such a cold weather.
Why not let her try it herself?
Su Zhen had no choice but to say, "Yuzhu, the sisters-in-law are waiting in the yard. You wash yourself. Remember to take off your clothes first and put them on the kang before putting them in the basin. Don't get your clothes wet."
Yuzhu nodded: "I understand."
Go, she still understands.
Zheng Mudan and Su Zhen closed the door with a smile, and stood in the yard stamping their feet to wait in the cold.
Inside the house, Tian Yuzhu was so excited. She could finally take a shower. It felt so good!
While she was taking a shower, Zheng Mudan and Su Zhen started chatting.
Originally, Zheng Mudan was the type of person who didn't like to gossip about others behind their backs, but since this matter concerned her younger sister Yuzhu, she decided to ask a few more questions.
"Ah Zhen, I heard from the villagers that the day Yuzhu went up the mountain and found the wild boar, it was that damned girl Xiaoli who tricked her into going up the mountain?"
"Sister, you know about this too?"
Su Zhen feels very guilty when talking about this.
That day she heard with her own ears that Shi Xiaoli instigated Yuzhu to go up the mountain, but she did not have the courage to expose it, nor did she succeed in stopping Yuzhu from going up the mountain.
Whenever she thinks about it afterwards, she still feels terrified.
If Yuzhu had not come back alive that day, she would have felt guilty for the rest of her life.
But no matter how much she thought about it, she still couldn't face her own heart at this moment. She just said, "Yuzhu did say that the other day. She said in front of everyone that it was Xiaoli who asked her to go up the mountain."
Zheng Mudan couldn't help but curse, "A girl who hasn't even married yet, she's so filthy-hearted and vicious. Yuzhu couldn't possibly go up the mountain alone in her condition, and Xiaoli knew it, yet she still did it."
Su Zhen glanced towards the main house fearfully: "Sister, please keep your voice down, my mother-in-law might hear you later."
"Bah, I'm not afraid of her Yang Dahua." Zheng Mudan was indignant.
