Chapter 109: New Life in the Countryside



Bai Yu's sarcastic words were like a thunderclap, striking the hearts of everyone in the Lin family.

He knew everything about Li Lin Wanru and Jiang Ye, so no matter how much they said, it would just seem like they were just quibbling.

Lin Wanru bit her lower lip in embarrassment.

There were big tears in his eyes.

Unfortunately, no one inside or outside the house felt any sympathy for her.

Jiang's mother even thought that Lin Wanru was really good at pretending.

Such a woman is a troublemaker and should never be married home.

Not only is the Bai family not allowed to marry her, but she will definitely tell her relatives and friends about it after she returns.

No matter which family Lin Wanru marries into, there will be no peace in that family.

The three people in the Lin family didn't know that Bai's mother had already classified Lin Wanru as the daughter-in-law who should not be married.

Lin Songshan rubbed his forehead and finally agreed to cancel the engagement with the Bai family.

Lin Wanru's name became a notorious name in Beijing in a short time.

She hides at home every day and dares not go out.

Yanjiang Village.

In order to avoid causing trouble for Yao Qiyue and others, Lu Zhian and Du Yun left the thatched house before dawn the next day.

The thatched house and the cowshed were less than a hundred meters apart.

It took two or three minutes to get there.

Yao Qiuyue and his wife went into the village to find Captain Ji Ping with a bag of milk powder and ten boiled eggs.

Ji Ping just had a little grandson. Life in the countryside is not easy these days, and it is difficult to save a few dollars throughout the year.

In the past few years, the village suffered from natural disasters and there was no harvest. Every household went to the mountains to dig wild vegetables and eat tree bark.

It was at that time that my daughter-in-law was injured, and she became pregnant two or three years after the disaster.

Ji Ping's wife treats her daughter-in-law and grandson as her own treasures.

All the delicious food and drinks are available at home.

But the conditions in the countryside are limited, and the best thing my grandson eats is an egg drop soup every day.

There are now quotas for raising chickens in the village, and each household cannot have more than two.

Ji Ping's wife even separated from her eldest son in order to raise two more chickens.

There are two thatched houses in the house now, one in front and one in the back.

The front yard is Ji Ping's home, and the back yard is the home of Ji Ping's son Ji Wei.

Yao Qiyue thought she had gotten up early, but she didn't expect to see smoke rising from every household in the village.

The two of them went to the village and asked someone where Ji Ping's house was, and then went there.

Ji Ping's home.

Ji Ping was puffing on his pipe at the dinner table.

Mrs. Ji's wife, Li Hong, sighed as she fed her grandson rice porridge.

There was no way. My daughter-in-law had suffered from hunger in the early years, and she was still malnourished after two years of care. She had no milk at all after giving birth.

Their little grandson can only survive by drinking rice porridge.

The child was not well fed and looked like a big-headed doll. His body was as thin as a bag of bones and his head was frighteningly large.

"Old man, I heard people say what kind of milk is available in the city. Could you ask someone to tell me?"

"Our baby is two months old and is getting thinner and thinner."

"This isn't a solution!"

How could Ji Ping not know this? "Milk requires milk coupons. Where can a country boy like us earn milk coupons?"

Li Hong couldn't help but complain: "Look, you're the team leader. You can't get anything good from your family."

What could Ji Ping do? He was also very worried.

“Ding ding ding.”

"Captain, we are the new educated youth Yao Qiyue and Jiang Ye."

Yao Qiyue knocked on the door and shouted crisply.

Inside the room, Li Hong asked in confusion, "Why are they here so early?"

Ji Ping sighed: "How should I know?"

"As long as you don't become unable to bear the rural environment after just one day and start clamoring to go back to the city, that's fine."

Ji Ping really didn't have any hope for these delicate city people.

As long as they behave themselves and don't cause him any trouble, that's all that's fine.

Although Ji Ping complained in his heart, he still opened the door for the two of them.

He couldn't just let the two of them stand at his door.

As soon as Yao Qiyue entered the room, she saw the child in Li Hong's arms crying.

"Uncle Ji, why is your baby crying so hard?"

Ji Ping sighed, feeling extremely worried.

"Why else? Can't you cry if you're really hungry?"

Jiang Ye took out a bag of milk powder and ten eggs from his pocket.

"Uncle, this is milk powder from the city. It can supplement the child's nutrition and also help keep him from getting hungry."

"You can make a cup for the child to try."

"Here are some eggs. My grandfather said red eggs should be given as a gift when moving into a new home."

"We are a new family here and we are unfamiliar with the place. We don't have anyone to send us off, so we sent it to you."

When Ji Ping and Li Hong heard about milk powder, their eyes lit up and they stared at the two palm-sized milk powder bags, looking extremely curious.

Ji Ping remained silent. He knew that the powdered milk was difficult to grind. As the saying goes, one never visits a temple for no reason...

Ji Ping didn't know whether this was true or not, but he felt that Yao Qiyue and the others definitely did not want to send just milk powder and eggs.

Ji Ping was patient, but Li Hong couldn't wait any longer.

"July, right? You don't mind my aunt calling you that, do you?"

"You must have spent a lot of money on this milk powder. How can we accept such an expensive gift?"

Li Hong was about to say something in a roundabout way, but the child in her arms couldn't even cry, obviously because he was too hungry to have any strength left.

If my grandson could drink milk powder, he wouldn’t be as hungry as a big-headed doll as he is now.

She hardened her heart and spoke directly.

"It's not easy for you to come here from the city. Now that you see my grandson is starving, I won't beat around the bush with you."

"If you have any problem, just tell me directly. I will never refuse to help you if I can."

Yao Qiyue was waiting for these words. She smiled and said, "Auntie, if I hadn't said it, I would have felt very close to you."

"Look at how I prepare the milk powder first. Let's make sure the baby has a full meal first."

Fortunately, Captain Ji had a thermos at home. Yao Qiyue skillfully poured a cup of hot water into it, poured the milk powder into the hot water and stirred it evenly.

"Auntie, just follow my instructions. Look at this cup. Don't be reluctant to put in the milk powder."

"A small spoon like this should hold four scoops. If there's less milk powder, the baby won't be full."

Li Hong listened carefully and nodded from time to time.

Although Ji Ping acted as if he didn't care, he still followed Yao Qiyue and watched carefully.

Yao Qiyue prepared the milk powder and handed it to Li Hong: "Auntie, can you see if the baby wants to drink the milk powder?"

Li Hong held the child in one hand and took a spoonful of milk powder with the other hand and fed it to the child.

When the child smelled the flavor, he opened his mouth and drank it, enjoying the sweet taste.

Li Hong and Ji Ping couldn't help but look surprised as they watched the child drink up half a cup of milk powder that Yao Qiyue had prepared without realizing it.

The child stopped crying and making a fuss when he was not full, and fell asleep while smacking his lips.

Li Hong was extremely grateful when she saw her child sleeping so soundly.
