Chapter 111: Saving People
Shen Meng got up early, and Lu Zhenping didn’t have the habit of sleeping in. One of them made breakfast, and the other pulled a flatbed cart to the mountain to cut two carts of firewood.
There was not much firewood left at home, so he had to store more firewood at home to survive the winter. In addition to firewood, there were some dry and fallen leaves, which were also good things and could be kept for kindling.
Lu Zhenping pulled two carts of firewood home in the morning. He spread the damp firewood in the yard, and when the sun came out, he would dry it for two days, and then he could carry it to the firewood room.
When Shen Meng came back for the second time, he filled the washbasin with hot water.
"Don't go out, wash your hands and prepare for dinner. Wake up those who are going to school. I want to go to the county town to buy some things after dinner. If you have nothing to do today, go to my mother's house to see if the house is built. When you come back, get some cypress branches. The mutton is still a little old, so it can be made into bacon. It's not a good idea to leave it like that. Make the rest into bacon and eat it whenever you want."
Lu Zhenping hung the mutton on the beam of the kitchen. It was cold, so it wouldn't go bad, but it wouldn't be fresh after a long time, so it's better to eat it quickly.
When the children in Mingyang got up, they smelled the familiar fragrance, and one by one they got out of the warm quilts a little faster than usual.
Hot big steamed buns stuffed with mutton, a pot of pan-fried buns, and spicy spicy soup. It was a great treat to have such a meal on this chilly autumn morning.
Mingyang, Mingliang, and Mingfang ate so
much that they didn't even raise their heads. "Zhenping, send some buns to Jinghao and the others. I made a lot, so let them have some too."
"Okay."
Shen Meng took five buns, wrapped them in a cloth and handed them to Lu Zhenping. When he left, he took another bun in his hand and finished it in a few bites.
After dinner, some went to school, some went to visit relatives, and Shen Meng, who was going to the county town, locked the door and rode his bicycle towards the county town. On the way, he met Zhou Jiaojiao who was riding a bullock cart.
Everyone in the car was wearing a headscarf, but Shen Meng still recognized Zhou Jiaojiao at first sight. The reason was simple. Everyone else had their hands in their pockets and bent their waists, but the heroine stood straight. She looked so beautiful in her green striped coarse cloth coat.
Tsk tsk tsk, the heroine is different!!!
After arriving at the county town, she didn't go anywhere else. She directly found a deserted place and entered the space. She rode the bicycle for almost an hour, and was really tired. After arriving at the space, she quickly took off her thick clothes, then entered the living room and lay on the sofa for a while.
After resting well, she took a pot of soup base, ate a comfortable Sichuan authentic hot pot, and ate a bowl of ice cream, and slept comfortably for more than two hours.
After she calmed down, she went to the warehouse and found a large stainless steel coal stove. She also pasted the yellow peony wallpaper she bought at the small commodity market on the coal stove.
The coal stove, which had seemed a little high-end just now, now showed low-key luxury and a very old-fashioned atmosphere. After it was ready, she put a hundred coal briquettes in two bamboo baskets and placed them on both sides of the bicycle.
Mingyang's four children hadn't taken a bath for several days. She searched through the boxes and cabinets and found two red bath covers. She had forgotten what the thing was called when she bought it. She had to ask the vendors to describe it for a long time before she bought it.
She also packed some ripe pears, apples and winter dates from the field, milk powder, malted milk, orange-flavored vitamin C powder, cashmere wool, and several sets of striped grandma-style autumn clothes, for both adults and children. She also found some socks for Lu Zhenping and a pair of Liberation shoes with thin cotton pads...
She stuffed the sack full and tied it all to the bicycle. She sighed. It would be very tiring to ride the bike back with all the things. But there was nothing she could do. The past two years have been different from before. The roads are full of people. If she went back with an empty bike and suddenly a bunch of things appeared on the bike, people would think she was a monster if they saw her!
Finally, after tying up the coal stove, she pushed the bicycle out of the space, and after many twists and turns, she was about to get on the bicycle and ride away from home when she saw Zhou Jiaojiao holding a pale pregnant woman standing there and calling for help. However, the alley was a bit remote, and no one passed by after she called for a long time.
Shen Meng's eyes lit up. This pregnant woman seemed to be the daughter-in-law of the director of the textile factory. Because her belly was big, she was afraid that she would have trouble giving birth, so she often went out for a walk. I don't know how it happened that her stomach suddenly hurt today, and the only person passing by was Zhou Jiaojiao.
She saved the lives of a mother and her son, so the director of the textile factory naturally wanted to repay her, but Zhou Jiaojiao refused. After many days, the textile factory had a vacancy, and it was the director's daughter-in-law who personally came to lobby Zhou Jiaojiao to agree to work in the textile factory.
From then on, she seemed to have stepped onto a ladder, and every time she went out, she would encounter something, whether good or bad, it could become a reason to help her and Lu Jiaxuan move up.
But since she encountered it, this good thing could not be left to Zhou Jiaojiao.
She turned around and pushed the bicycle back to the alley, put the bicycle into the space, took out another one, and hurriedly pushed it to the side of the two people.
"Jiaojiao, what's wrong with you? Oh, this girl looks like she's about to give birth!"
Zhou Jiaojiao was so anxious that she frowned when she saw Shen Meng. She saw that the woman lying on the ground was well-dressed, so she hurried over to help. Otherwise, she would never intervene. If something went wrong, it would be her fault.
"Sister-in-law, why are you here? This comrade said she has a stomachache and needs to go to the hospital quickly. Sister-in-law, go and call someone nearby. I'll take care of this female comrade." She
wanted to send her away, but that was not enough.
"Jiaojiao, you are still pregnant, how can you know more than me? I have given birth to a child, don't worry, I have a bicycle, I will check on your condition first, you can't move immediately when you are giving birth, don't be afraid!"
Li Qianqian was in great pain, leaning on Zhou Jiaojiao's arms and looking at the woman who suddenly appeared in front of her, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw. This person said she had given birth to a child, so she must be more reliable than the person who just knew how to shout for help.
What first took off his coat and covered Li Qianqian.
"Let me see if you are bleeding or your water has broken. If it is, we should go to the hospital and wait for the birth of the baby. It will be fine in two hours. It is not far from the hospital. Don't worry."
Shen Meng reached to Li Qianqian's buttocks and untied her belt. He reached to her lower body and took his hand out. It was full of blood.
Zhou Jiaojiao screamed "Ah" and almost threw Li Qianqian, who was leaning on her, to the ground.
"Shut up!"
