Chapter 390: One key to start over
After many twists and turns, I was finally able to go home.
Jiang Rou took her three children back with her.
Liu Gensheng had just recovered from a serious illness, and Jiang Rou originally wanted to hug him.
But the little child was very stubborn, and was afraid of causing trouble for Jiang Rou, so he insisted on walking home by himself.
Jiang Rou didn't insist too much and let Zhou Xiaochuan and Zhou Xiaohua hold his hands on each side, and the three of them walked together.
Return to the courtyard where I used to live.
It’s only been three days, but it feels like a lifetime ago.
Their house is made of bricks and tiles and is of good quality, so it was not seriously damaged in the earthquake.
There was just some dust in the house, and the things on the cupboard also fell to the ground with a rustle.
Especially in the kitchen.
Many of the kitchen utensils and pots and bowls that Jiang Rou had accumulated were broken.
Luckily, these are small things, so I can buy them again without having to feel bad about it.
besides.
The area of their house that was most seriously damaged was the yard outside.
The wall in the yard cracked and collapsed in the earthquake.
Now, the courtyards of Zhou's family and Zhao Guifen's family no longer had a wall in the middle, and they were connected as if they were one family.
Zhao Guifen no longer had to stand on the bench and could just lean on the wall to talk to Jiang Rou.
As soon as the two of them came out of the house, they faced each other.
Moreover, the collapsed bricks and stones all fell into the Zhou family's yard.
Under the wall are the new crops that Jiang Rou planted in late summer, as well as the cherry trees she transplanted specially.
Now, more than half of it is destroyed.
But Jiang Rou felt heartbroken for a few minutes.
It really was a one-click start, and everything started over again.
Jiang Rou and the others returned home.
Zhao Guifen from next door heard the noise and came out immediately.
She arrived home before Jiang Rou and checked the house thoroughly.
The troops received special training, teaching them how to check walls and identify cracks. If a house is dangerous, it cannot be inhabited.
Fortunately, everything is safe.
After Zhao Guifen walked out, she happened to see Jiang Rou staring at the collapsed wall and looking at the vegetable field with a look of regret.
She first greeted, "Sister Rou, you're home. Oh, it's so easy to talk all of a sudden. I'm really not used to it."
Right after.
Zhao Guifen said again.
"Don't worry about the wall. Don't rush. I'll let my Da Huzi and Er Huzi take care of it. They're grown boys now. They can do half the work of a man. Together, they can do one thing. Just leave it to them. Go take care of the things inside the house first. Even though you haven't been home for only three days, there are things to do inside and outside the house."
After listening to this, Jiang Rou nodded.
That's all for now.
Zhao Guifen walked closer and took a look into Zhou's house. She vaguely saw the figure of a strange child.
She approached Jiang Rou and whispered.
"Did you bring the child back?"
Jiang Rou said, "Yes. He had nowhere to go, no relatives, and was sick, so I brought him back with me."
Zhao Guifen sighed with regret on her face.
"Oh, such a small child, what a pity... and so thin... when my son was that age, he ate like a fat boy. So pitiful... Sister Rou, are you going to adopt that child?"
"Not sure yet. Let him stay at home for now. Chongshan doesn't have time to come back, so we'll talk about it after he comes back."
Jiang Rou replied.
Zhao Guifen nodded and gave a few instructions.
"Sister Rou, your family already has two children, Xiaochuan and Xiaohua. You and Captain Zhou will definitely have children in the future. Although the more children the better, but once you become relatives, it means a lifelong relationship and responsibility. You must think about it and don't be impulsive."
Zhao Guifen felt sorry for the child, but she cared more about Jiang Rou.
Jiang Rou said gratefully, "Sister Guifen, I will keep your words in mind and think it through carefully."
Seeing that Jiang Rou had listened, Zhao Guifen didn't say much and immediately changed the subject.
"Sister Rou, they say that those who survive a great disaster will have good fortune in the future! We have survived such a great disaster. Let's have a good meal tonight. You don't have to cook. I promised to treat you to pork stewed with vermicelli, but I never had the chance, and there is no pork now. Why not stew chicken in a iron pot instead! I'll take out the iron pot and cook it in the yard, and we'll eat together tonight!"
"good."
Zhao Guifen's cheerful spirit returned and infected Jiang Rou.
When Jiang Rou and Zhao Guifen were talking.
Zhou Xiaochuan and Zhou Xiaohua took Liu Gensheng and walked into their small room.
It is their room and will also be Liu Gensheng's room.
Zhou Xiaochuan introduced it to Liu Gensheng.
Liu Gensheng looked around curiously.
Everything in the small room was prepared by Zhou Chongshan and Jiang Rou for their two children. The room was new and the furniture was new too.
Liu Gensheng had never seen such a brand new room.
Zhou Xiaohua stepped on a small stool and opened the drawer on the desk that belonged to her.
The drawer is full of her treasures.
Lots and lots of them.
Jiang Rou said that she was only allowed to bring two toys to school, so she hid the rest in the drawer and arranged them neatly.
The candy wrappers of White Rabbit milk candies were all flattened and placed neatly together.
The wrapper of the fruit candy is shiny and colorful. It can be folded like a fan and tied with a rope in the middle to make a colorful little butterfly.
…
In addition, there are many shells and conches.
Those were what Jiang Rou brought back to Zhou Xiaohua every time she went out to catch the sea.
There are all kinds of big and small ones.
Jiang Rou also said that if she saves more, she can make shell wind chimes in the future.
Zhou Xiaohua always remembered what Jiang Rou said, so she kept trying to collect them.
I saved a lot.
She likes it very much. Usually she just takes it out to look at it, touch it, and then puts it back to display neatly.
Zhou Xiaohua first took out conchs and shells from the drawer, picked out the most beautiful ones, and placed them in front of Liu Gensheng.
Liu Gensheng didn't understand what was going on.
He stood there in the strange environment, motionless.
Zhou Xiaohua tilted her head and looked at him.
Didn't he like beautiful conches and shells?
Then give me some more.
Zhou Xiaohua touched the drawer and took out a large pile of things and placed them in front of Liu Gensheng.
Thought about it again.
She took out all the things in the drawer.
Zhou Xiaohua's favorite instrument is the harmonica, but it is broken.
Now all the toys, except the harmonica, are taken out.
She opened her big eyes and stared at Liu Gensheng without blinking.
Liu Gensheng became even more panicked now.
He couldn't understand Zhou Xiaohua's eyes, nor did he know that Zhou Xiaohua could speak now.
In this strange environment, I was nervous and at a loss.
"Xiaohua wants to give it to you, let you choose."
Zhou Xiaochuan spoke up from the side.
When Liu Gensheng heard Zhou Xiaochuan's voice, he looked over with a pleading look as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
Zhou Xiaochuan spoke carefully.
"These are the toys that Xiaohua collected. They are also her favorite things. You are our family now, and she wants to give you a gift. There are so many here, you can choose whatever you want, all of them are fine."
family……
all……
So many...
Liu Gensheng looked at the colorful pile of things in front of him, and tears almost burst out again.
He lowered his head and wiped away his tears.
Under the gaze of Zhou Xiaochuan and Zhou Xiaohua, Liu Gensheng reached out and picked a white conch from a pile of things.
"I...I want this, one is enough."
He spoke with a sob, he was not greedy and was easily contented.
After saying this, he raised the corners of his mouth and smiled with tears in his eyes.
