As soon as Xu Zhaodi got into the car, she saw that the swelling on Jiang Wan's arm had subsided, but the wound looked horrifying.
Seeing her leg in a cast, Xu Zhaodi felt a little distressed.
"Rest well when you get back. You'll need to rest for a hundred days to recover from any broken bones."
Jiang Wan's eyes curved and he leaned on Xu Zhaodi's shoulder with a smile.
"Thank you for your concern, sister. You've been feeding me delicious food these past few days, and I've gained weight.
Sister, can I still eat the magical tofu you made? "
Xu Zhaodi smiled when she heard it: "You are such a greedy little cat. I will make it for you when I have time when I get home."
The car had a smooth journey. On the roadside, all the major communes were setting fire to the wheat stubble fields. This would kill some insect eggs on the ground, and the ashes could also be used as fertilizer.
When the car arrived at the compound, Zhang Qingdong picked up Jiang Wan by the waist and carried her upstairs under the gaze of several women. Xu Zhaodi helped carry Li when they went upstairs.
As soon as they entered, Xu Zhaodi said, "You have a good rest. I will go back first."
"Thank you, sister."
"Don't be polite to me."
Just as Xu Zhaodi arrived at the door, Chen Jianguo heard a sound coming from the corridor and opened the door. When he saw Xu Zhaodi, his eyes lit up and he pulled her in and hugged her in his arms.
"Did you miss me?"
Xu Zhaodi was helpless. They had just met in the morning and hadn't seen each other yet. What was there to think about?
"Do you believe me when I say no?"
Chen Jianguo let her go, looked down at her bright red mouth and bit her.
Xu Zhaodi was still not used to it, so Chen Jianguo tightened his arms and kissed her for a long time before letting go. As if he was not satisfied, he lowered his head and kissed her again.
Xu Zhaodi pushed him and said, "Okay, have you eaten?"
"I've eaten, fed the chickens, watered the vegetable patch, and brought back the chayote for you. I cut it in half and pickled it with salt."
Seeing that he looked like he was seeking credit, Xu Zhaodi curled her lips and smiled.
"You're a little too diligent today."
"Wife, can we go to bed early after taking a bath tonight?"
Xu Zhaodi's cheeks blushed when she reacted. No wonder he was so impatient, it turned out he was waiting here.
"It's so hot, can you sleep so early?"
Chen Jianguo smiled and said, "Then go to bed a little later, lie down early and talk about your true feelings."
Xu Zhaodi: ...
There was a muffled thunder in the sky and the room became extremely hot and stuffy. Xu Zhaodi leaned over the window and looked out. Dark clouds were looming and a storm was about to come.
The wind was so strong that the leaves on the trees in the courtyard were blown everywhere.
Chen Jianguo said: "I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily. I don't know if the journey to Baoguo is smooth, and I don't know if the wheat in my hometown has been harvested.
I hope there won’t be a heavy rainstorm before the wheat is harvested in my hometown.”
The couple stood at the window, watching the strong wind outside.
Chenjiagou.
Chen Baoguo has been back for three or four days.
The weather here is clear, the sun has already set, and a pleasant and gentle evening breeze is blowing, blowing up layers of golden waves on the full, drooping ears of wheat in front of us.
Chen Baoguo wore a white coat on his upper body, his exposed arms were tanned, and a white scarf was hung around his neck.
He wore a pair of black trousers with the legs rolled up below the knees, and on his feet were a pair of straw sandals woven from corn husks.
He worked efficiently, and when he came back, Chen Kaifang and Zhang Cuiying felt like the pillar of the family had returned.
When Chen Baoguo returned home, he was dressed in new clothes, holding two cloth bags in his hands, walking with a breeze under his feet and a smile on his face. It was obvious that something good was going to happen.
Everyone in the village knew that his family was introducing him to a girl, and that family wanted to go back three times and ring the bell.
Everyone in the village thought that this was impossible. How could a girl be so precious and want so many things? This was obviously making things difficult for people, but the Chen family really took it seriously.
Chen Baoguo is such an energetic young man that many girls in the village are attracted to him, but his family is really poor.
Being poor is not a big deal, but they have elderly parents and young children to take care of.
The family was so poor that they could barely make ends meet, and the two little ones were still in school.
No matter how strong the child grows up, they dare not push their daughter into the fire pit.
The villagers asked politely, "Is Baoguo back?"
"I'm back, aunt."
"Are your elder brother and sister-in-law okay?"
"It's okay. Auntie, I'll go home first."
Chen Baoguo went straight home. When he came back, Chen Kaifang and Zhang Cuiying learned that he brought back three hundred yuan, and the couple felt relieved.
Chen Kaifang squatted under the eaves, smoking a pipe, his deep eyes looking deep.
I brought back three hundred, and I still need three hundred more.
What should I do?
Zhang Cuizhen felt that having three hundred was much better than getting nothing at all.
I just feel sorry for the old couple.
Zhang Cuizhen asked, "After you left, was your sister-in-law angry?"
Chen Baoguo knew what his parents were worried about. After all, before they left, the two people were incompatible and disgusted with each other.
"Mom and Dad, don't worry, my sister-in-law is very nice to my brother now.
Of the three hundred yuan, two hundred was a reward given to my sister-in-law by the Public Security Bureau for saving a person from human traffickers, and she has never been willing to give it away.
My eldest brother and his wife have been helping the family, so let’s not cause them any more trouble in the future.”
When Chen Kaifang heard this, he realized that the girl was cunning and domineering in the village. Although she was fat, she was also arrogant. This was completely different from how she was after Jianguo moved to the city.
Zhang Cuizhen asked worriedly, "Is your sister-in-law not injured?
The human traffickers are ruthless and merciless. How can your sister-in-law defeat them alone? It’s dangerous just to think about it.”
"My sister-in-law was injured, with a deep cut on her arm.
So mom, this money was earned by my sister-in-law with her life, and I don’t want to waste it.
On the way back, I decided that I would not get married. "
Upon hearing this, Chen Kaifang paused holding his pipe.
"What's going on?
People your age would have their children run away."
Zhang Cuizhen also said: "Your father is right, it is definitely not right not to get married."
"Then I'll wait a little longer."
Chen Baoguo knew that he only had three or four hundred yuan left, and he would not be able to get it back even if he sold himself.
Chen Kaifang said, "I saw that you brought some delicious food when you came. After the wheat is harvested in a few days, you can go to the next village to meet Tian Xiaoyun and discuss this with her first to see if there is anything else to discuss."
Chen Baoguo knew what was going on and decided to go no matter what.
"Dad, some of the things my sister-in-law brought back are for her uncle's family. I'll take them back later."
Chen Kaifang said: "Your sister-in-law is really thoughtful now."
At this moment, Chen Baoguo recalled the scene when he came back, looked at the mountains not far away, and took a deep breath.
He has been busy harvesting wheat these days and has not had time to visit his sister-in-law's house.
After harvesting a bundle of wheat, Chen Baoguo bent down again and saw a thin figure walking towards him not far away.
Isn’t it Tian Xiaoyun?
She had two pigtails, a red ruffled shirt with her sleeves rolled up, and a pair of blue overalls.
She was holding a basket covered with a white cloth. She held her head high and looked full of energy.
