"At that time, almost every household had two kilograms of meat coupons, but I never saw any. Every time the food coupons and meat coupons were distributed, Yanbei's grandmother would go to collect them, and naturally the food coupons would fall into the hands of their two families."
But even so, she never regretted marrying Xie Yanbei's father.
He is such a good person, and if there is no one to comfort him in such a suffering, his days will seem endless.
Ji Qingzhou was filled with righteous indignation, and his fair hands were tapping the table angrily.
"These people are really going too far. They're profiting from other people's hard-earned money. How can they feel comfortable spending it? And my uncle's parents are truly one of the most bizarre couples in the world. Their eldest and youngest sons are both their biological children, but their second son was adopted, right?"
Ye Lanqing was frightened by Ji Qingzhou's suddenly raised voice.
Seeing her angry, her face, which had finally gained some weight in the past few days, became rounder.
Her face was full of smiles. Little girls are indeed the best. Even when they are angry, they are still soft and cute.
"We must find a way to get these things back!"
Ye Lanqing's emotions were inexplicably affected by Ji Qingzhou.
She curled the corners of her lips and smiled, as if all the suffering she had endured over the years had been written off.
"You're right, we have to get our things back no matter what!"
Ji Qingzhou originally thought that Ye Lanqing would still persuade her, but she didn't expect that she would actually agree with her point of view, and her confidence increased greatly for a while.
"Auntie, don't you think my idea is too radical?"
The quilt that Ji Qingzhou had just dried fluttered in the wind, and it still had the smell of sunshine on it.
The sun moved westward little by little, and the smile on Ye Lanqing's face became even more intense.
She gently pinched Ji Qingzhou's face with one hand, as if she was coaxing a child.
"Qingzhou, Auntie knows that you are a child with your own opinions, and I also know that what you said is right. It's rare for Yanbei to meet someone as good as you."
"I was a bit cowardly when I was young, but I also knew right from wrong. If I still blindly tolerate you now that I have your support, wouldn't that chill your feelings? I'd also be embarrassing for you."
Her words made Ji Qingzhou feel a little warmer in his heart.
But how can I get those things back intact?
Ji Qingzhou supported her chin with one hand and thought about her previous life. She had also visited her uncle's and younger uncle's homes many times.
The first time she went as a new daughter-in-law and Xie Yanbei to visit, the people on both sides were very indifferent. Even when they were on the table, there were not many dishes they could recommend.
At that time, Ji Qingzhou thought that this was their usual living habit.
Now that I think about it, there were actually signs of their selfishness a long time ago.
Because he didn't take Xie Yanbei seriously, he didn't take his new wife seriously either.
But one thing is that whether it is my aunt or my sister-in-law, their biggest hobby is to show off the good things at home.
After a few visits, Ji Qingzhou became more familiar with the structure of their home.
After Xie Yanbei's father passed away, Xie Yanbei's grandmother drove him and his mother out, leaving them to live alone.
The courtyards of the main house and the third house are on a separate slope.
After Ji Qingzhou settled Ye Lanqing, he went to the Xie family to check things out.
Seeing that the time was almost up, she went to the health center to find Xie Yanbei.
"Your wound is still in the recovery stage and will take some time. If you feel any discomfort, please let me know in advance. You can stay here for the day."
Old Master Peng reopened Xie Yanbei's wound and treated him.
Before cutting the wound, Old Peng cleaned out a utility room in the clinic. Currently, the two of them live there. It's not a problem, but it's hard for Ji Qingzhou to deliver meals every day.
After changing the medicine today, Mr. Peng also set up a bed next to me.
Xie Yanbei's current condition requires constant attention. Ji Qingzhou is a girl after all, so it is not convenient for two people to be together.
As a doctor, it makes the most sense for Mr. Peng to take care of patients here.
Xie Yanbei glanced at his legs and nodded gratefully.
"Thank you, Dr. Peng, for your hard work during this period."
Mr. Peng waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's all my responsibility. Besides, you've also contributed to the country. I can't just watch a former hero fade away."
Just as Xie Yanbei was about to speak, he heard footsteps outside.
Knowing it was Ji Qingzhou, he turned around and saw that Ji Qingzhou was accompanied by workers who had just returned from working on the river.
"Doctor Peng, please take a look. I don't know what's going on these past few days, but my hands have been itching terribly. Rubbing them with salt hasn't helped, and today it's so painful I can't even lift a hoe. If this continues, I'm afraid the progress will be delayed."
The man stretched out his hands, both of which were red from the cold.
There were calluses on his hands, deep cracks spreading across them, and wounds of all sizes almost too numerous to count.
Mr. Peng only took one look and understood what was going on.
"Your hands are frostbitten. You need to take some time to recover over the next two days. When you work outside, try to wear thick gloves. Come here, I'll get you some medicine."
The man hurriedly followed behind Mr. Peng, and Ji Qingzhou placed the food he brought from home on the table.
Xie Yanbei looked at the backs of the two people leaving and said hesitantly:
"Has the river work started already? Why didn't anyone come to inform me?"
Ji Qingzhou placed the food on the table one by one and looked at Xie Yanbei helplessly.
"You're a patient now, having just undergone surgery. It's reasonable for you to rest here. The river has just frozen over, and it's very cold outside. Everyone is concerned about your health, so of course no one came to inform you."
Xie Yanbei looked at the steaming food and felt more and more uncomfortable.
He took a look at his legs that were wrapped like a mummy and decided to go to the river to work with everyone else.
"I can do the same things that others can do. From tomorrow on, you don't have to help me deliver meals anymore."
Ji Qingzhou knew that his stubborn temper had come up again. He took a look at his current appearance and felt helpless.
"Don't you know what your current condition is? You can hardly even walk a few steps, yet you still want to join others in digging a canal. Can't you wait until you're better? Why do you have to compete with such useless effort now?"
Hearing that Ji Qingzhou was a little angry, Xie Yanbei quickly apologized.
He folded his hands together helplessly, wanting to pull Ji Qingzhou's hand, but felt it was a bit abrupt.
In the end, he could only touch her arm lightly.
"Qingzhou, I know you are worried about my health, but I am a soldier. Even if my leg is injured or lost, I cannot lose my responsibility."
Whenever a river is blocked, the People's Liberation Army always rushes to the front. How could he be a deserter?
