Chen Jianguo was troubled. Looking at the photo of the couple on the tombstone, his heart sank beyond words.
With red eyes, he squatted down and took out two fruit candies from his bag.
He remembered that Feng Daqiang used to bring candies for the children every time he went out for fun.
Because they all lived through the Great Famine, two pieces of fruit candy for one cent might be a common occurrence for children from wealthy families.
But for those who come from the lowest class, that is out of reach.
Feng Daqiang likes to eat candy, but he never wants to eat it.
Chen Jianguo choked up and said, "Old Feng, we have brought the child here, don't worry.
My wife and I will treat them well.
You two are such a jerk. I don't even want to say anything to you.
Anyway, remember to accompany your children in your dreams.
This time, they also suffered a lot.
I will come to see you two when I have time."
The autumn wind blew, the sound of the wind was wild, and Chen Jianguo's tall back looked inexplicably sad.
He stood there for a long time, then took a deep breath and turned away.
As for Tian Wenjun, she pulled two radishes from the backyard, steamed rice for the three children, stewed radish and pork ribs soup, steamed cornmeal steamed buns for the couple, and fried a dish of cabbage.
Things are different now than before. With three more mouths to feed at home, she has to be frugal.
Tian Wenjun was halfway through her meal when there was a knock on the door.
She opened the door and saw that it was Liu Chunhua.
Speaking of which, Tian Wenjun hasn't seen Liu Chunhua for more than two months.
I haven't seen Liu Chunhua for more than two years, but she is still the same as before, without changing at all.
Liu Chunhua was carrying two white cloth bags and three buckets of malted milk.
Tian Wenjun looked delighted.
"Sister-in-law, why are you here?
I haven’t seen you for more than two months.”
Liu Chunhua smiled and said, "That's right, after my son was admitted to university, I went to the city to study.
Look, I just came here these two days.
Now, I have been transferred to the No. 1 Middle School in the county to be a Chinese teacher. "
Tian Wenjun was also happy. Liu Chunhua was an intellectual. She hadn't seen her for more than two days. She wanted to find out about her, but she had no place to ask.
Liu Chunhua handed over the things in his hand and said, "Hurry up and take them. I brought you 10 kilograms of rice, and this cloth bag is full of dried vegetables you gave me.
We old couple can’t finish it.
Old Zhou eats in the cafeteria alone, and I can’t come here on weekdays because I’m in the city, so I can only come here on weekends. It would be a pity to leave so many delicious dishes at home and let them grow worms in the spring.”
"Sister-in-law, you are so polite. I farm your land, and the vegetables I gave you ended up in my stomach. What's wrong with that?"
"Hey, listen to what you say.
To put it bluntly, the land in the backyard used to be vacant only for our two families. I didn't dare tell others when I went out because those were my lands.
Ever since you came here, someone has helped me farm, and I have fresh vegetables to eat. I am all thanks to you.
Besides, I am your sister and your sister-in-law, why are you being polite to me?
Here, here are some malted milk and some snacks for the children."
Tian Wenjun knew that she was taking care of three children in disguise.
They all have a heart.
Tian Wenjun said: "Then I would like to thank you on behalf of the children.
Sister-in-law, please sit down first. I'll pour you some water."
"It's okay. I won't drink. Stop working on it."
Tian Wenjun still poured Liu Chunhua a glass of brown sugar water.
At this moment, the three children are in the small house and rarely come out.
After the two sat down, Liu Chunhua looked around and asked in a low voice, "Where are the children?"
Tian Wenjun sighed and said, "Since we came here, except for meal time, the three siblings have been hiding in that little house and have not come out.
These three children are so sensible, maybe they are afraid of being separated again."
Liu Chunhua sighed and said, "Alas, they are too young.
I'm sorry for your hard work. You two are under a lot of pressure. If you have any urgent matters in the future, just look for Lao Zhou.
I can only come here on weekends, so I can’t help you much even if I want to.”
"It's okay sister-in-law, I know you're busy with work."
“Some things are beyond human control, who could have expected that this couple would have such a hard life.
To put it bluntly, it is better to live a miserable life than to die.
On the battlefield, bullets have no eyes. Even if you are crippled, at least you still have your life.
But……
well……"
Liu Chunhua had nothing more to say after this.
Tian Wenjun said: "Alas, it's too late to say anything now.
What I can do is to help them take good care of their child.”
Liu Chunhua said: "This is the only way."
Liu Chunqi sat for a while before leaving.
Chen Jianguo seemed to have become calmer on the training ground.
Zhao Yidan and Zhang Xiwa will be leaving in a few months.
They have now become squad leaders of another group of rookies, but in Chen Jianguo's eyes, they are still rookies.
While Chen Jianguo is away, this group of people have been training hard on their own.
They performed quite well in the assessment that afternoon.
When Chen Jianguo came back from the training ground, Tian Wenjun had already prepared dinner.
Feng Xueqin tried to help serve the food but was stopped by Tian Wenjun.
Tian Wenjun said, "Help auntie put the dishes and chopsticks away. This ceramic bowl is too hot to touch. Auntie will take it."
Feng Xueqin nodded and brought the dishes to the table.
Tian Wenjun put the other dishes on the table and served rice to the three children.
She smiled and said, "Okay, you guys eat first."
Feng Xueqin shook her head, and Feng Xueyan followed suit.
Tian Wenjun knew that Li Wenhui had taught her three children well, and she just smiled faintly.
Soon, Chen Jianguo arrived.
As soon as he came over, he saw Tian Wenjun and the children sitting next to them. He took off his hat, brushed off the dirt on it, hung it on the wall, and strode towards them with a smile.
"Hey, are you waiting for me to come over for dinner?"
Chen Jianguo deliberately wanted to create a great atmosphere, but how could the children's psychological trauma be healed in a day or two?
Chen Jianguo took out three fruit candies from his bag and put one in front of each of the three children.
Said: "Here, your father Chen brought it for you. You can eat it after dinner."
Hearing the three words "Dad Chen", Tian Wenjun just smiled faintly.
She reminded him, "You haven't washed your hands yet."
Chen Jianguo realized it later, patted his forehead and said, "Oh, I have to listen to your mother Tian. I'll wash my hands first."
Tian Wenjun knew that Chen Jianguo was also trying his best to coax the children.
She looked at his tall back and thought that if she could get pregnant, he would definitely be a very caring father.
Tian Wenjun looked at the three children and said, "Don't listen to your Uncle Chen. Call him whatever you want."
The three children looked at each other and slowly lowered their heads.
After Chen Jianguo took his seat, Tian Wenjun served pork ribs and radish soup to the three children's bowls, and he and Chen Jianguo took steamed corn bread.
As soon as Chen Jianguo saw it, he knew that his wife had already started planning her life.
He sighed inwardly, thinking that he would have to talk to her in the evening.
Feng Xueqin didn't move her chopsticks. She looked around, went into the kitchen and took out two more bowls. She divided her bowl of rice into three bowls, and put half a bowl in front of Chen Jianguo and Tian Wenjun respectively.
Tian Wenjun was stunned for a moment.
This child is really sensible.
Seeing this, Feng Zhidong also wanted to touch the rice in his bowl.
Seeing this, Chen Jianguo hurriedly stopped him.
