Chapter 49
"Yes, come in."
Jing Xian said loudly and walked outside, where she saw a simple-dressed older sister standing at the door.
The eldest sister had short hair, with both sides of her hair pinned behind her ears. She was wearing a navy blue coat with patches on it, and navy blue cloth shoes on her feet. For a moment, it was impossible to tell what she was doing.
"Hello, comrade. Do you know where Chen Baomin's home is?" the elder sister asked politely.
When Jing Xian reached the door, she noticed that next to the great man there were two large sacks and two flour sacks, which were filled to the brim with stuff and she had no idea what they were filled with.
She took one look and then looked away: "Sister, please wait a moment. I will ask you."
"Thank you so much!"
"Need not."
Jingxian was about to ask Ma Shufen, but she saw Zhao Xiuzhi coming out of the house with a basket in her hand, not knowing where she was going.
She shouted, "Sister-in-law, do you know where Chen Baomin's house is?"
Zhao Xiuzhi was startled by Jingxian's shout, and then she turned around when she heard Chen Baomin's house. She saw a strange woman standing at Jingxian's door, and realized that it was not Jingxian who wanted to ask Chen Baomin, but the woman next to her who was asking Chen Baomin.
"Know."
"It's this elder sister who wants to visit Chen Baomin's house." Jing Xian arrived late, and so many things happened afterwards, so her relationship with her neighbors became dull.
Many people have seen it, but cannot remember its name, let alone those soldiers who are not at home during the day and only come back from get off work at night.
"Okay, come with me. I'm just passing by here."
Zhao Xiuzhi didn't come over either, she just stood there waiting.
"Thank you so much."
The elder sister bowed gratefully and put two flour bags on her shoulders, picked up a large sack, and tried to pull another sack. Jing Xian frowned and looked at the thin body of the woman, wondering how she could carry all these things by herself.
She reached out and pulled over another sack, then picked it up easily: "Big sister, let me take you there."
The eldest sister was stunned. She tilted her head and looked at Jing Xian with great effort. She said a little at a loss, "This thing is quite heavy. I can carry it by myself."
"It's not far. Besides, I'm strong. Don't you think so, sister-in-law?" Jing Xian walked up to Zhao Xiuzhi while speaking, looking at her with a half-smile.
Zhao Xiuzhi's expression changed instantly. She looked at the older sister with disdain, reached out to take the two flour bags off her shoulders and held them in her hands.
"Here, I'll get you one."
This tone of Shi En's voice really makes people feel very uncomfortable.
The elder sister was so grateful that she burst into tears. However, she was afraid of dirtying Zhao Xiuzhi's clothes, so she wanted to snatch them back: "No, no. Just lead the way for me. You don't have to help me get things. I can do it myself."
Zhao Xiuzhi pouted in disdain: "Alright, look at your small body, and you're carrying a big sack, I don't know how slow you're walking."
The eldest sister was suddenly at a loss.
"Let's go. It's quite heavy to carry so much stuff." Jing Xian was calm and composed. She said it was very heavy, but she stood there as if she was holding a bag of cotton, and showed no sign of tiredness at all.
Zhao Xiuzhi was a little scared of Jingxian, so she said nothing and just walked forward with her things in her hand.
Jing Xian also followed behind with a sack in her arms. The eldest sister was startled and hurried to follow.
When they reached the intersection ahead, Jing Xian saw the four men in their family and said, "You guys stay here, I'll be back soon."
"I'm going back."
Xiao Mao didn't play much at the beginning and seemed a bit out of place.
Hearing this, he got up and walked home.
Fusheng also wanted to go back and play, so when he saw Xiaomao's back, he shouted, "Simao, wait for me!"
Xiaomao walks faster!
When the elder sister saw the two little guys, she asked in surprise, "Are these your children?"
"Well, these are the third and fourth children in our family." Jing Xian pointed at Tiedan and Damao who were surrounded by the children and said, "The one in the middle is the second child in our family, and the tall one is the eldest child in our family."
The eldest sister was shocked.
The older one is ten years old, right?
"You look really young."
Zhao Xiuzhi couldn't help but sneered, "She is young to begin with."
"How old are you?" asked the eldest sister.
Jing Xian said, "I am nineteen."
The air suddenly became quiet.
The eldest sister opened her mouth, then shut it obediently, secretly hating herself for being so rude.
Zhao Xiuzhi didn't expect Jingxian to be so single.
"The child belongs to my boyfriend, and the next three are triplets." Jing Xian dared to say this, so she didn't worry about Zhao Xiuzhi ruining the show.
Zhao Xiuzhi is a military dependent after all, and she knows that saying some things will hurt her children.
"Triplets? Oh my God! There hasn't been a birth of three children in our village in the past few hundred years." The eldest sister was immediately envious, but when she thought that the children were not Jing Xian's, she became speechless again.
Just when we were feeling awkward, we arrived at the destination.
“Here it is.”
Jing Xian looked up and found that this was the home of the lesbian who used to greet her often.
"Liu Cailan, are you there? Someone is coming from your hometown." Zhao Xiuzhi said, and then she remembered to ask about the identity of this elder sister, "Are you from their hometown?"
The eldest sister nodded: "Yes, I am here to look for my brother."
"Oh, you are Chen Baomin's elder sister? Then come and visit us often when you have time. Our house is next door to theirs." Zhao Xiuzhi was still very enthusiastic.
It should be said that people of this generation are very enthusiastic.
"good."
The eldest sister looked inside eagerly.
After a while, there was some movement in the room.
Liu Cailan came out of the house with an abnormally red face, which was different from her usual look. It seemed that her eyes were full of spring. Jing Xian squinted her eyes unconsciously and her ears moved slightly.
Liu Cailan saw the people standing at the door and asked in surprise, "Sister-in-law, why are you here?"
When Chen Yinghong saw Liu Cailan, the smile on her face faded a little: "Cailan, Baomin is not at home?"
Hearing this familiar yet unfamiliar voice, Liu Cailan's pupils shrank, the smile on her face disappeared, and she looked at Chen Yinghong in shock.
"Sister? Why are you here?" Liu Cailan's voice was trembling.
Chen Yinghong frowned: "Didn't Baomin tell you? He asked me to come here."
Liu Cailan dug her fingernails into her palms and pierced the skin, but she didn't feel any pain, only that her whole body felt cold.
"Ah, he said he was coming." Liu Cailan's smile was very forced, not enthusiastic at all.
Jing Xian looked into the yard thoughtfully and said nothing else. This was not her home, she was not familiar with Liu Cailan, and it was her first time meeting Chen Yinghong. Naturally, she would not speak carelessly.
Zhao Xiuzhi listened to the conversation between the two and said impatiently while holding her things: "How long are you two going to talk? Liu Cailan, your elder sister came all the way here, why is she standing at the door? People have brought so many things for you, let her in quickly."
Having said that, Zhao Xiuzhi walked inside first.
Liu Cailan came to her senses, hurriedly chased after him, and said loudly: "Sister-in-law, let me do it! Don't tire you out, I can get it myself!"
"Let me take it in for you. You definitely can't lift it." Zhao Xiuzhi was about to go inside with it, and Liu Cailan chased after her and tried to take it.
"How heavy can it be that I can hold?"
As soon as Zhao Xiuzhi let go, Liu Cailan fell to her knees.
She looked at the things in her hands in shock, not knowing what was in the two bags. She was not mentally prepared, not only did she fail to lift them, but she also sprained her waist.
Liu Cailan's facial features were distorted for a moment in pain.
"Sister, what's in here? Why is it so heavy?" Liu Cailan thought to herself, it doesn't matter if it hurts, just put the thing at the door and send her to the hospital.
Chen Yinghong frowned and said, "It's just 80 kilograms of millet. You can't even carry this little thing? No wonder you and Baomin have been married for so long and there's no sign of pregnancy. Give it to me, I'll carry it in myself."
"Sister, I think I sprained my waist. I may need to go to the hospital." Liu Cailan pulled Chen Yinghong's hand pitifully.
Jing Xian put down the sack and prepared to leave, not wanting to join in the fun.
As soon as she put the things here, Zhao Xiuzhi said beside her: "No need to go to the hospital. What's the point of going to the hospital? Just let Jingxian take a look."
Liu Cailan hated Zhao Xiuzhi's stupidity.
In the past, Zhao Xiuzhi's stupidity was borne by others, but now that she has to bear this stupidity, she realizes how destructive it is.
Chen Yinghong was afraid of troubling Jing Xian: "It's just a sprained waist. Just go back to your room and lie on the kang for two days. There's no need to see a doctor. I'll help you go in and lie down for a while."
"I……"
Just as Liu Cailan was about to speak, Chen Yinghong grabbed her arm and lifted her up. She was a farmer and had great strength, so she pulled Liu Cailan up with one hand.
Chen Yinghong thanked Jing Xian and said, "Sisters, wait a minute. I brought a lot of local specialties from my hometown. I'll give you some to try later."
"No thanks." Jing Xian just wanted to leave.
Zhao Xiuzhi wanted it, but when she heard Jingxian refuse, she felt embarrassed to ask for it.
"I still have to go to the grocery store to buy some stuff, so I'll leave first."
Jing Xian watched the two people enter the house, turned around and walked out, quickening her pace. Before she reached the door, she heard a woman's scream coming from inside the house.
"What's going on?" Zhao Xiuzhi turned around and chased inside when she heard the sound.
Jing Xian wanted to catch it but failed, so she could only follow passively.
"Oh my god, what happened to your head? It's bleeding! It's over, I have to go to the hospital to get it bandaged." Zhao Xiuzhi squatted down, looked at the wound on her head carefully, turned around and asked Jing Xian, "The wound is a bit deep, will it leave a scar? That would be terrible, leaving such a scar would be so ugly."
Jing Xian felt that Zhao Xiuzhi's mouth was as bad as Song Ning's today. She didn't see that Liu Cailan looked so ugly, and she was rubbing salt into her wounds. She felt that rubbing salt was not enough, so she stabbed her wounds twice.
"I'm not a surgeon, I don't understand this." Jing Xian didn't want to get involved.
She instinctively felt that Liu Cailan was not a good person and subconsciously wanted to distance herself from her.
"It's just a small wound. Just sprinkle some soot on it and it will be fine." Chen Yinghong didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. This abnormal behavior made people suspicious.
Zhao Xiuzhi thought about it and agreed: "We didn't have the conditions in the countryside before, but now there is a hospital, which is quite close, so we can go and have a look. What if the scar is smaller after the doctor's examination?"
Zhao Xiuzhi would have been better off not saying this.
Suddenly, she shivered: "Why is your house so cold?" Zhao Xiuzhi looked up and saw the back door of the outer room open. She was so shocked that her eyes almost fell out. "What's wrong with your house? It's not May or June now, why is the back door open? Do you think it's too warm at home?"
Jing Xian didn't think Zhao Xiuzhi was stupid before, but now she realizes that Zhao Xiuzhi's brain is really not enough.
She suddenly became curious about how she came up with the idea of suspecting her of being a spy.
It's not that she looks down on Zhao Xiuzhi, it's just that Zhao Xiuzhi simply doesn't have the brains for it.
Chen Yinghong's face was extremely ugly at this moment. She lowered her head and looked at Liu Cailan coldly. Liu Cailan sat on the ground pretending to be dead, wishing that Zhao Xiuzhi would get out immediately.
