It was dark when we returned to Quanshui Village Commune.
The village party secretary asked the educated youth to come out and unload the New Year pig. Everyone was very happy to see that they had won the advanced award from the commune.
Shi Zhentang took Tian Yuzhu home directly with bags.
Watching them walk away, Lu Juanjuan was furious. Suddenly, the village party secretary's voice rang in her ears: "Xiao Lu, why are you doing this? Do you want me to send someone to take you back?"
Lu Juanjuan snorted coldly: "No need."
Without a man to accompany her, she didn't dare to go back. She, Lu Juanjuan, was not a fool...
No, she walked out a few steps angrily and quickly stopped. She remembered the incident of wolves entering the village, so she had to bite the bullet and go back: "Uncle, are you going home now? Let's go together."
The village party secretary shook his head and sighed.
…
Shi Zhentang returned to Old Shi's house and was just about to push the door when someone opened the door and came out.
It was Dr. Wei Xinyi from the commune. He was stunned for a moment, adjusted his glasses, and said in surprise, "Captain Shi is back!"
Ever since the day they followed the village party secretary up the mountain to rescue the silly girl, and after hearing the soldiers call Shi Zhentang the battalion commander, Dr. Wei had an immense admiration for him in his heart.
He also wants to join the army, but unfortunately he doesn't meet the requirements.
Shi Zhentang: "Doctor Wei, this is..."
"Oh, it's Auntie who's sick. She's had a high fever for the past two days. I just prescribed some medicine for her. Come inside quickly. It's quite cold outside. Don't worry about Auntie's illness. She'll be fine once the fever goes down."
After a few pleasantries, he left.
In fact, Shi Zhentang was just worried about his grandmother's health, but he didn't expect to hear that Yang Dahua had a fever.
Tian Yuzhu knew exactly why Yang Dahua had a fever.
The woman was so scared by herself that she thought she saw the ghost of Shi Zhentang's mother that night, which was why she fell ill.
Now it seems that the two big yellow croakers have been saved.
Yes, after she went to the town, Yang Dahua didn't dare to go to the hut to ask for the yellow croaker. Not only did she not dare to ask for it herself, she also didn't allow Shi Xiaoli to go.
In short, Yang Dahua was lying on the kang sick for the past two days, and the small house was rarely quiet for two days.
At this time, Shi Xiaoli, who heard the noise, and the two little guys Chengcheng and Doudou ran over to open the door.
"Second brother, you're back?" Shi Xiaoli was surprised and happy: "Where are my boots? Did you buy them?"
"Second uncle."
"Second Aunt."
The two little guys, Chengcheng and Doudou, came forward and hugged the long legs, and their two favorite people went home.
Shi Zhentang hugged one, and the silly girl followed his example and hugged one.
The group went straight into the cabin.
Where was Shi Xiaoli left out in the cold... No, she wouldn't give up and shamelessly followed him into the cabin.
As for Shi Weiqiang on the kang: "..."
Forget it, second brother just treats him as air.
Shi Zhentang did call Shi Weimin and Shi De "father", but as for Yang Dahua, he didn't even glance at her.
Although Yang Dahua had a fever, she was not confused.
When she heard that Shi Zhentang had returned, she simply closed her eyes and dared not look. She felt guilty!
"Second brother, did you buy me boots?"
Shi Xiaoli chased in without giving up.
After Shi Zhentang called her grandma, the silly girl ran over and snuggled in the old lady's arms. The outside world was not as warm as the little house.
A smile flashed across his brow.
Although he turned around and ignored Shi Xiaoli, he still took out a pair of cotton boots from his bag: "Take it."
Shi Xiaoli's wait was not in vain. She happily grabbed it and said, "Thank you, second brother. Is there anything else?"
This time, Shi Zhentang ignored her and said directly, "Get out."
"cut!"
Shi Xiaoli rolled her eyes immediately. She didn't want to go out at all, but her second brother's eyes were as sharp as a knife, so she was still afraid and could only go out with an unwilling look on her face.
Su Zhen, who had been boiling water for the old lady in the hut, was now standing in the corner.
She has always been timid, and she is both respectful and afraid of her brother-in-law.
When I heard him say "get out", I was also frightened and turned around to go out.
"Sister-in-law."
But the cold voice of my brother-in-law came from behind me.
Su Zhen was startled...
Usually they discuss all the matters at home. The brother-in-law rarely calls her or talks to her. It is scary that he suddenly calls her now.
She turned around slowly and nervously, and found that Shi Zhentang's eyebrows had become much softer: "Sister-in-law, you have worked hard these days!"
While in the guesthouse, the village party secretary had told him everything about his family.
Shi Zhentang was grateful to his sister-in-law from the bottom of his heart and wanted to buy her something, but he didn't know what to buy.
He took out a ten-yuan cloth coupon and said, "Sister-in-law, the New Year is coming soon. You and my brother should go to the city and buy whatever you want. We can also buy some cloth to make new clothes for Chengcheng and Doudou."
This frightened Su Zhen so much that she didn't dare to accept it: "No, no, no, Zhentang, I can't accept it."
Not to mention ten dollars, not a penny from the family has passed through her hands over the years, so how could she dare to take it!
Moreover, in Su Zhen's heart, the old lady treated her and the children well, so it was her duty to repay the old lady's kindness to her.
Old Lady Lü Huanying, who was sitting on the kang, said hurriedly, "Ah Zhen, just take what you're told to take. If you keep stuffing it around and the people in the outer room hear you, you won't get a cent."
"But milk..."
"Here."
The old lady got off the kang, took the money and cloth coupons from Zhentang and handed them to her: "Be brave, keep the money and coupons well, don't let your mother-in-law see them."
Su Zhen's eyes were sore with gratitude.
"Thank you, grandma, and thank you, Zhentang."
After all, not everyone in the Shi family is conscienceless!
She was so moved that she didn't know what to say.
Shi Zhentang turned around and gave two bags of fruit candies to Chengcheng and Doudou respectively, and also a string of candied haws to each of them.
"Thank you, second uncle."
"Thank you, Second Aunt."
The two little ones were very sensible and immediately opened the candy bag and gave one to each of them.
Tian Yuzhu scratched their little noses with her fingers, and after she was happy, she went to see the two big yellow croakers.
Su Zhen wiped her eyes and said quickly, "I've been changing the water diligently these past two days, and the fish are doing well!"
After she finished speaking, she left the cabin.
Every time her brother-in-law came back, they would squeeze into the kang in the main room and spend the night there, and let him stay in the small thatched house in the yard. Now she had to clean up quickly.
Shi Zhentang couldn't help but walk over to look at the fish, and he couldn't help but feel amazed.
He had never seen such a big yellow croaker in his life. It was hard to imagine that the silly girl could catch three at once.
In the words of the village party secretary: "Yuzhu is blessed. Even though she doesn't know anything, she is blessed with good fortune."
After looking at the fish, he simply packed up the things he brought back.
He put the flour and sugar in grandma's small cupboard, and also bought socks and a padded jacket for the old lady. He originally wanted to buy more for grandma, but he only had so much money and tickets.
I can only wait until next time to buy it.
Yet, even so, the old lady still blamed him for spending money recklessly!
