After this period, the busy spring planting season will begin again.
"Jingshu, come over here and bask in the sun."
The aunts in the village warmly invited Lin Jingshu to sit over.
"No, auntie, I'll just walk around the village, you two can chat."
Lin Jingshu declined politely. She was not a fool. If she sat down, she would not be able to leave for three to five hours.
The gossipy eyes of the aunts could not be hidden.
Lin Jingshu took Gu Chengze to walk by the river, and sighed as she looked at the frozen river.
Thinking back, the original owner jumped into the river and left, and she came here by chance.
Everything has its own arrangements.
Lin Jingshu noticed that the ice near the shore was not frozen solid, and she was eager to try it out. "Let's go over and see if there are any fish."
Walking down the gentle slope of the river bank, there was another child there besides them.
Lin Jingshu glanced at the other person's clothes and frowned slightly.
Whose child is this? He is only wearing a thin cotton jacket in such a cold day. The sleeves are covered with black oil stains. I don’t know how long it has been since he washed it.
Lin Jingshu noticed that he pursed his lips and looked down, his gaze resting on the roasted sweet potato in her hand.
She handed it over and asked tentatively, "Would you like some roasted sweet potatoes?"
The little guy's eyes lit up, then dimmed as if he was thinking of something, and he shook his head slightly.
Without waiting for Lin Jingshu to speak, he ran to his small fishing rod and continued to wait.
Lin Jingshu was a little worried. She could tell that he hadn't eaten for a long time.
How can a child of this age grow taller if he doesn’t eat enough?
Lin Jingshu walked over with a roasted sweet potato and said gently, "Here are two roasted sweet potatoes. I can't finish them. Can you help me eat one?"
The little guy widened his eyes in surprise. Is there anyone who doesn’t like to eat roasted sweet potatoes?
Lin Jingshu tore off the outer oil paper, and the aroma of the roasted sweet potatoes became even stronger.
Smelling the delicious food so close to him, the little guy pursed his lips. He wished he could have some roasted sweet potatoes too.
When he felt the warmth in his palm, he realized that he had unknowingly spoken out his true feelings, and his face became hot.
"Eat it quickly, the sweet potatoes my mother roasted are delicious."
The little guy was really hungry, and he ate voraciously, eating up everything, including the skin and flesh.
He didn't even let go of the residue on his hands and licked it all clean.
Lin Jingshu stuffed the remaining sweet potatoes into his hands.
"You, you don't want to eat?"
Lin Jingshu shook her head. "I'm not hungry yet. You should eat it all."
The reason I said that just now was because I was afraid that he would have a psychological burden.
"Thanks."
The little guy was caught off guard and knelt down to kowtow to Lin Jingshu.
Lin Jingshu was so frightened that she took two steps back, "Huh? What are you doing? Hurry up and get up."
It was inconvenient for her to bend down because of her big belly, so Gu Chengze picked up the little one.
The child's face was covered with tears and he kept sobbing.
Lin Jingshu helped him wipe away his tears and comforted him softly.
After getting to know him better, I found out that the little guy's name is Lele.
"My mother said she hopes I will be happy every day."
But things went against his wishes, and Lele hasn't laughed happily for a long time.
Since his father passed away, the family lost its main labor force, and the mother and son could only live on meager work points.
In order to earn more work points, he even stopped going to school.
Two days ago, his mother caught a cold and was bedridden. Lele wanted to try his luck at the river to see if he could catch some fish to take back for his mother to nourish her body.
"I want to take this sweet potato back home for my mother to eat."
Lele stuffed the sweet potato into his arms and held it carefully.
Because of this roasted sweet potato, he will never feel cold again this winter.
Lin Jingshu felt sorry for the little guy's hardship, turned to look at Gu Chengze and said, "I want to eat fish, too."
Gu Chengze understood, rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll go back and prepare things. You guys wait here for me for a while."
They came out empty-handed, with nothing at hand, and had to go home to prepare bait.
Lin Jingshu and Lele were waiting by the river.
Lele held the sweet potato in her arms, hesitated for a long time, and said embarrassedly: "Sister Lin, can I go home first and give my mother a roasted sweet potato?"
Afraid that Lin Jingshu would refuse, Lele hurriedly said, "My home is just up ahead. I'll be back soon."
Seeing him anxious to explain, Lin Jingshu comforted him, "It's okay, go ahead. I'll be waiting for you here. Don't worry."
Lele nodded heavily.
After Lele left, Lin Jingshu stood by the river and looked at the ice in the distance, wondering if she could go up and skate.
She was so focused on staring at the river that she didn't notice someone approaching from behind.
Lin Qiaoqiao pulled up a strange smile and stretched out her hands silently towards Lin Jingshu. The two were very close.
As long as Lin Jingshu is pushed down, she will not be able to swim out in such a cold day because she is pregnant. Then there will be two deaths and we will see how she can show off.
A hint of madness flashed in her eyes. Why didn't Lin Jingshu become a widow after marrying Gu Chengze, but also became pregnant?
In her previous life, she was abandoned and never opened her heart to Gu Chengze until her death.
She originally thought that if she could live her life again, she would marry Zheng Guoqiang first and live the life of a rich wife like Lin Jingshu once did.
Who knew that he would jump from one fire pit into another.
I finally get to go back to my parents' home, but I still have to be pointed at by everyone.
Lin Qiaoqiao couldn't win the argument with them, so she ran to the river in anger and noticed Lin Jingshu standing there alone.
It was really God's arrangement. She brought her own death upon herself.
Lin Qiaoqiao looked around and after making sure that there was no one around, she slowly approached Lin Jingshu. The distance between the two of them was getting closer and closer, and a ferocious expression appeared on her face.
Lin Qiaoqiao gathered her strength and pushed forward.
"Sister Lin, get out of the way!"
Hearing the sound, Lin Jingshu reacted subconsciously and took a small step to the side.
With a "splash", Lin Qiaoqiao exerted too much force and fell directly into the river, and a hole was smashed in the ice.
The ice near the shore was fragile, and after Lin Qiaoqiao fell in, she quickly surfaced.
The icy river water made her feel cold all over, and Lin Qiaoqiao asked for help from people on the shore.
"Lin Jingshu, hurry up and rescue me."
Lele ran down and stood beside Lin Jingshu, panting, "Sister Lin, she is a bad guy. I saw her trying to push you down."
Hearing Lele's words, Lin Jingshu quickly retreated three steps away.
Lin Qiaoqiao, who was struggling in the river, saw this scene and was so angry that smoke came out of her nostrils.
"Lin Jingshu, we are a family after all. You can't just listen to this kid's one-sided words and stand by and watch him die."
Lin Qiaoqiao was shivering from the cold, and her voice trembled.
Lin Jingshu narrowed her eyes coldly, "Do you think I'm a fool? Lin Qiaoqiao, our relationship isn't close enough to just say hello, right? You suddenly appeared behind me, you know what you want to do."
"God has eyes, and you will reap what you sow."
In such cold weather, let alone a pregnant woman, even a healthy person would get sick if they fell into the river.
Gu Chengze rushed back with things in his hand and heard someone calling for help from afar. Without thinking too much, he rushed to the river as fast as he could.
Seeing his daughter-in-law standing there safely, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is my wife okay?"
