Xiaojie suddenly got goosebumps all over his body and took the first step to go home.
His aunt is really capable, but sometimes she talks nonsense!
Cheng Jingmo glared at her lovingly, took the things from her hand, and whispered, "Don't speak in this tone in front of Xiaojie anymore. Let's go home."
Yu Xiangnian leaned close to his ear and continued to tease him, "Do you want me to talk to you alone?"
Cheng Jingmo carried the things in one hand, pulled up her sleeve with the other, and took her home.
"Why did you buy these things?" Cheng Jingmo asked as he looked at the hydrogen peroxide and medicine in the bag.
Yu Xiangnian replied cheerfully, "I went to get my hoof trimmed today!"
"so what?"
What does seeing a hoof trimmer have to do with buying these things?
Yu Xiangnian said: "If an animal's hoof is inflamed, disinfect it with hydrogen peroxide first, then sprinkle it with medicinal powder and wrap it with cloth, and it will be healed."
She watched those videos of hoof trimming and saw that it was done this way.
Cheng Jingmo: “…”
Damn it! He actually hoped that one of the animals would get a hoof infection!
When I got home, my family had already eaten and said they had left some food for them in the kitchen.
The three of them went to the kitchen and saw that there was something left, just three steamed buns and a few handfuls of leftover fried potato shreds.
Cheng Jingmo rolled up his sleeves and said, "Let's cook some egg noodles."
The Cheng family members sat inside and outside the main hall, resting and chatting, and the aroma of scrambled eggs wafted from the kitchen.
Zhang Hongli took two greedy breaths and said, "Mom, I think they did it on purpose! They deliberately ran out during dinner time, waiting for us to finish eating, and then they could eat the good food themselves!"
Mu Huanzhen has always been resentful of Cheng Jingmo for not allowing Cheng Shuanzhu to take his place in the army and not marrying Cheng Shuanchun.
She looked at Cheng Huazi and said quietly, "This isn't my biological child. I can never raise him well."
Cheng Huazi smoked his pipe and glanced at Mu Huanzhen, "Don't let Jianwa and the others hear you say this."
"Dad, Mom, you can't say that about Brother Pickup Baby!" Cheng Shuanzhu said, "Although Brother Pickup Baby hasn't been home these past few years, the family has spent a lot of his money."
Cheng Shuansuo said dissatisfiedly: "Without his parents, he wouldn't be where he is today. What's wrong with spending some of his money?!"
Li Cuihua rolled her eyes in disdain. "It's only natural for Mom and Dad to spend his money, but who did he spend the most of the money he brought in? How dare you say that!"
Cheng Shuansuo said angrily: "Have you never spent money before? How dare you say that to me!"
"Enough!" Seeing that the two sides were about to quarrel, Cheng Huazi knocked his pipe on the ground.
"I'm willing to spend the money that the pick-up kids bring me! No matter how much or how little you spend, no one can tell anyone else!"
After dinner, Yu Xiangnian took the eggs and brown sugar she bought back to her room. She didn't want to give them to the family.
Seeing Cheng Jingmo carrying another bucket of water out, Zhang Hongli said disdainfully, "It must be that his precious wife wants to take a bath again!"
Li Cuihua retorted, "I didn't ask you to carry water, why are you so jealous? Besides, carrying water used to be your job. Ever since you came back from picking up the baby, you haven't carried a single load of water."
Zhang Hongli snorted coldly, "You're defending them so much just to curry favor with them. Do you really expect them to live a good life in the future?"
Li Cuihua also said in a cold voice: "They brought this and that back, and they didn't offend you. Why do you always pick on them?"
The two sisters-in-law have never gotten along and always have arguments with each other.
Cheng Shuanzhu quickly pulled Li Cuihua away.
The brother who picked up the baby and his family only come back once in so many years, don’t make things difficult for them.
Yu Xiangnian could hear their conversation in the room.
But she didn't care what they said!
The water Cheng Jingmo carried in the morning was almost used up, so he carried it four more times to boil water for bathing and washing clothes.
It was dark before Yu Xiangnian could take a bath.
Due to limited conditions, she can only take a shower and change clothes once every two days.
In the cowshed, a kerosene lamp was lit and Yu Xiangnian was taking a bath.
Cheng Jingmo was waiting outside, ready to add water at any time.
One inside and one outside, chatting.
"Cheng Jingmo, is this the cowshed where you slept as a child?"
"Um."
"Third uncle's grandmother said that Third uncle gave you three dollars. Have you paid it back?"
“I paid it back.”
When he first joined the army, his salary was very low and he had to send money home every month.
He saved money for half a year by living frugally and finally collected twenty yuan, which he sent to his third uncle.
"After hearing about the monkey today, I thought of you. I feel so sorry for you!"
Cheng Jingmo said: "Situations like this are very common in rural areas."
Maybe because he had seen too much, Cheng Jingmo's voice was calm and emotionless.
Yu Xiangnian said: "That's why our motherland must be strong and prosperous! We can help ten or twenty children like this, but there are so many such cases across the country, we can't help them!"
"Only when our country is prosperous and strong can we solve problems such as food, education, and medical care, and only then can people's lives be guaranteed. We are young and should shoulder the responsibility for the prosperity and development of our motherland!"
This is Yu Xiangnian’s most profound feeling since entering this era.
As a doctor, she could save hundreds of thousands of patients, but millions of people in our country still live in extreme poverty.
Since she has mastered so much advanced knowledge, she should take on more responsibilities and play a greater role.
Our country needs to develop and integrate with the international community. She wants to be an excellent diplomat and help our country get on the international track.
Try your best.
Yu Xiangnian's words were like a loud bell being struck, shaking Cheng Jingmo's heart, and these words kept echoing in his ears.
He knew that Yu Xiangnian had seen the world, but he didn't expect that Yu Xiangnian had such a broad mind, caring about the country and the people!
The pearl that he looked up to was shining brightly!
Cheng Jingmo was also inspired by Yu Xiangnian, and his blood was boiling.
"You're right. I want to dedicate my life to the prosperity of my country! My biggest shortcoming right now is my cultural knowledge. I must persist in learning every day."
Yu Xiangnian said with satisfaction: "Yes! The future army will focus on high technology and information technology. Cheng Jingmo, you must work hard to be a good leader!"
The flickering lights illuminate the direction in which the two people are struggling.
Inside and outside the cowshed, accompanied by the sound of water, the two hearts became one, imagining the future together.
After a tiring day, Cheng Jingmo felt particularly energetic when taking a shower and washing clothes.
When sleeping, Cheng Jingmo held Yu Xiangnian in his arms.
"Nian Nian, I used to feel lost sometimes. I didn't know what I could do after leaving the army. I didn't want to go back to this kind of life. So, I worked really hard to stay in the army."
"Today you gave me a new understanding of defending our country, and I have a deeper understanding of staying in the army! The best thing I have ever done in my life was to join the army and become a soldier. Then, I had the honor of marrying you!"
