Chapter 56: Do your waist and legs hurt?
Jiang Rou saw Lin Yulan and immediately greeted her with a smile.
She first put Zhou Xiaohua on a small stool beside her, then stood up and called her affectionately.
"Sister Yulan."
The last time Lin Yulan came to deliver something, the Zhou family was still penniless. After Jiang Rou's tidying up over the past few days, the house has become cozy.
All the daily necessities were also purchased.
Jiang Rou used the newly bought glass cup to make tea for Lin Yulan.
Although it is called brewing tea, it is not real tea leaves, but sugared tea.
Add two full spoons of white sugar into the glass, then pour in hot water. The white sugar begins to melt quickly and the syrup slowly rotates.
In this era, because no one can afford sugar, sugary tea is the best way to entertain guests.
While Jiang Rou was making tea.
Zhou Xiaohua blinked her big black eyes and looked at it seriously, licking the corner of her mouth, looking greedy.
The cute round head and cheeks made Lin Yulan smile lovingly.
She said, "Sister Rou, it's not easy for you to have some candy at home. You should leave it for Xiaohua and the others. Children like sweets."
"Sister Yulan, it's okay. You brought so many things to our family last time, including vegetables and eggs. I didn't know how to thank you. Now I'm just inviting you to have a cup of tea, so don't be polite to me."
As Jiang Rou spoke, she stuffed the warm cup into Lin Yulan's hand.
at the same time.
She handed the small spoon that she had just used to dig into the sugar jar to Zhou Xiaohua.
There is a thin layer of white sugar on the white spoon.
Zhou Xiaohua held the spoon in a daze, raised her head and looked at Jiang Rou in confusion, and didn't react for a moment.
Jiang Rou touched her little head and said softly.
"Take it and lick it for a few times. Lunch will be coming soon. You can't eat too much sweets."
It’s not that Jiang Rou is reluctant to give up the white sugar, but the time is not right.
Zhou Xiaohua understood now, and held the small spoon as if it were a treasure, grinning.
He immediately stuck out his tongue and licked it.
So sweet!
…
Jiang Rou and Lin Yulan did not sit in the house, but were in the yard, talking in the sun.
Lin Yulan came this time to show concern for Jiang Rou's situation and to see the two children, especially Zhou Xiaochuan.
The news that Zhou Xiaochuan fell ill on a stormy night spread throughout the compound.
Although everyone knew that Jiang Rou broke into the military camp in the middle of the night with her child on her back.
But everyone has stereotypes in their minds.
Especially about stepmother and stepson.
As long as there is a stepmother in a family, no stepson will be able to live a good life.
What’s more, Jiang Rou is such a young and beautiful stepmother.
There was some crazy talk in the compound.
Some even spread that Zhou Xiaochuan's illness was actually caused by Jiang Rou.
Although the affair between Xu Chunxiang and Aunt Xu was later exposed and the truth was revealed.
but……
Still can't stop the gossip and rumors.
Now that Lin Yulan came this time, she not only saw that Zhou Xiaochuan had a rosy complexion, but also looked much more energetic than before, and did not look like he was sick at all.
I also saw that Zhou Xiaohua seemed to have changed her appearance.
The dirty and sloppy child before has now turned into a milky white baby.
When he looks at people with his big black eyes, he looks particularly energetic.
Lin Yulan couldn't believe it.
She looked to the side of the yard. After Zhou Xiaohua got a small spoon dipped in candy, she was happily showing off to Zhou Xiaochuan. The two children were leaning against each other intimately and communicating silently.
She asked, "Is Xiaochuan's illness cured?"
Jiang Rou replied, "He is getting better. But his stomach is not in good condition, so he needs to be taken care of slowly before he can fully recover."
"Yes... You can't rush into stomach problems. You have to take care of it slowly. Xiaochuan is still young, and children recover quickly. He will definitely get better. Don't worry too much."
Lin Yulan is a gentle and generous person, and she speaks in a careful and considerate manner.
Jiang Rou smiled and nodded.
Another purpose of Lin Yulan's visit this time was to inform Jiang Rou about the verdict on Xu Chunxiang and Aunt Xu.
"Sister Rou, if you hadn't been careful and discovered that Xiaochuan didn't have acute gastroenteritis but food poisoning, we would still be kept in the dark by Xu Chunxiang. Captain Zhou paid her so much a month, and she actually did such a thing, even daring to attack such a young child... I really can't imagine how Xiaochuan and Xiaohua lived before..."
Speaking of this.
Lin Yulan had a look of heartache and reluctance on her face, and she felt miserable as well.
My eyes almost turned red.
She was emotional yet restrained.
He took a deep breath and shook his head again.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about something good. Sister Hong has already received a report from the village party secretary..."
Aunt Xu took all the blame. The evidence was solid and she admitted it herself, so she was taken away by the police station. Judging from the situation, she will probably have to stay in prison for half a year.
As for Xu Chunxiang...
What she did was not against the law, but the social atmosphere is different nowadays.
"Xu Chunxiang was assigned to labor reform. The village production team was short of a pig feeder, so she was assigned there. Sister Rou, that's about it. Do you have any other requests?"
Jiang Rou heard it.
It’s to feed the pigs!
Is Xu Chunxiang willing to do this dirty and tiring job?
She suffered a lot in the days that followed.
This mother and daughter finally got what they deserved.
Jiang Rou breathed a sigh of relief.
She nodded and said, "Sister Yulan, I believe in the organization. If Sister Hong thinks it's okay, then it's okay for me. Thank you for the organization's care and concern for our family."
Lin Yulan didn't expect Jiang Rou to be so calm.
After all, she had heard that when Jiang Rou was at Xu Chunxiang's house before, she was so furious that she wanted to eat Xu Chunxiang alive.
Now, her job became easy.
At the same time, the look in her eyes when she looked at Jiang Rou also changed.
Lin Yulan looked Jiang Rou up and down. She was a delicate and pretty girl with fair skin and a shallow dimple when she smiled, which made people feel kind and comfortable.
Such a lovely girl, not only men like her, but also women like her.
that is……
Jiang Rou was sitting on a short stool, with her legs apart and knees bent, looking relaxed and casual.
Lin Yulan pursed her lips, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
She lowered her voice and asked softly.
"Sister Rou, how are you? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Me?" Jiang Rou was stunned. "I'm fine. I eat well and sleep well. We are doing well on the island and have a good life."
Jiang Rou's words blocked what Lin Yulan originally wanted to say.
Lin Yulan wanted to open her mouth several times, but she didn't know how to start.
Struggling with it.
Suddenly, another person's voice was heard in the yard.
The man shouted at the top of his voice.
"Sister Rou, Yulan wants to ask you, is your waist sore? Do your legs hurt? How can you still sit comfortably on the small stool? Aren't you uncomfortable?"
