Chapter 87: Sharp tongue, soft heart
On the way back, Xiao Chenye touched his head and felt a little pain.
Wen Ran rolled his eyes speechlessly, "What do you want?"
She pulled Xiao Chenye's head and checked it carefully. "It's not broken, nor swollen, just a little red."
Xiao Chenye wanted to say something, but when he saw the father and daughter on the ox cart, he held it back.
"It's okay. It doesn't hurt much."
"Is it you?" Zheng Chunyan looked at Xiao Chenye, "The other person, is it you?"
Xiao Chenye nodded, "It's me."
Captain Zheng's eyes were red, "Thank you so much, if it weren't for you, my daughter would have suffered even more.
Fortunately, before the news spread, Chunyan, the damned girl, was rescued."
After all, it was just a coincidence.
Zheng's mother's family lives in another place. Her uncle had a baby and asked Zheng's mother to attend the wedding. Zheng's mother originally wanted to give some gift money and then decided not to go, so as to save the trouble of traveling back and forth.
Who knows, it's just such a coincidence.
Zheng Chunyan had a quarrel with her sister-in-law. On one side was the daughter-in-law, and on the other side was the spoiled daughter.
Zheng's parents were so overwhelmed that they simply gave their little girl some money and sent her to live with her grandmother.
Zheng Chunyan took the money and ran away. She stayed comfortably at her grandmother's house for half a month and then came back on her own.
That's when the incident happened.
Zheng Chunyan still feels scared when she talks about it. "I was tricked as soon as I got off the train and was detained for more than half a month."
Wen Ran was completely shocked. "More than half a month, and no one noticed?"
Captain Zheng smiled awkwardly, "It was a complete mess. We thought she was still at her grandmother's house, but the other party thought she had already arrived home."
Later, it was only after they wrote a letter of thanks that Zheng's parents realized that Zheng Chunyan had left. But the problem was that after she came back, no one knew where she had gone.
I was extremely anxious all night and got up before dawn to go to the county town to send a telegram.
However, the telegram was not taken. When they passed by the Public Security Bureau, they reported the case. Then a man ran out from the beggars and grabbed them, calling them father and mother...
The past is too painful to recall.
Seeing this, Wen Ran could only say that although Zheng Chunyan was unlucky, she still had some luck.
"It's also considered good luck. Let's just pretend that nothing happened during that time."
"Well," Zheng Chunyan's eyes were red, "I kept it a secret. I said I got off the wrong station on my way back and I had no money to eat so I became thin due to hunger."
Wen Ran thought this was ridiculous, but when he thought about what happened to Zheng Chunyan, he felt that was even more ridiculous.
We arrived at Zheng's house while chatting.
Zheng's mother and Zheng's eldest sister-in-law were arguing. It seemed vaguely that one wanted to go back to her parents' home, and the other didn't let her go back.
Wen Ran glanced at Captain Zheng and suddenly felt that they had come at a bad time.
"I want to leave, so just let me go, why are you stopping me?" Mrs. Zheng said quickly, "If I stay at home and do nothing, how can I expect food to fall from the sky?
There is not much food at home. If we don’t find a way to get more, are we really going to starve during the winter?
If you want to drink, you can drink. I won't drink. I'm going back to my parents' home to get food. You guys should stay at home and go to the mountains to get more mountain products. Anyway, we can fill our stomachs this winter."
"Lingling, we can't go back! Can't we go up the mountain together?"
Mother Zheng said earnestly, "Your family is not easy to get along with. If you go there, I'm afraid you will suffer."
Mrs. Zheng was angry, "What can we do? We are the ones asking for help, how can we get food without any help?
You are willing to endure hardships, but my son is not! Also, my spoiled sister-in-law won't chew on those things every day even if you ask her to!"
"Mom won't eat it anymore," Zheng's mother said with red eyes, "Mom will save it for you to eat."
Mrs. Zheng looked at the tears on her mother-in-law's face, feeling bitter in her heart, but she spoke sternly, raising her hand to wipe away her tears, sneering: "You useless girl, why are you crying?
If I starve to death, you will enjoy life, what's wrong? Are you thinking of dying early and reincarnating early, and not taking care of my children? That's impossible!"
Wen Ran looked at Zheng Chunyan, who lowered her head and said, "I already know I was wrong, and I haven't quarreled with her since I came back.
My sister-in-law is a good person, she has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Her family is really bad, she will definitely suffer if she goes back."
Wen Ran smiled.
Mrs. Zheng is not only a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart, her little mouth is probably full of poison.
Zheng Chunyan jumped off the ox cart and said, "Sister Xiao Wen, I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go and persuade my sister-in-law."
"Um."
Zheng Chunyan returned home and the quarreling inside stopped.
Captain Zheng sighed and said, "Little Wen, I'm sorry to make you laugh."
"It's no joke," she said softly, "No matter how much you quarrel, it's all for the good of the other party. Captain Zheng, you are blessed to have such a family."
Captain Zheng grinned, "My wife and daughter-in-law are both good. My daughter is also good. She used to be spoiled, but now she has suffered a lot. She is sensible and makes us feel sorry for her."
As soon as we entered the door, we exchanged pleasantries, but as we all had things on our minds, we quickly got down to business.
Looking at the wheat seedlings and glutinous rice in their home, Wen Ran repeated the steps step by step according to his memory from his previous life. Zheng Chunyan took a notebook and took notes.
Mrs. Zheng was so anxious, "Did you remember it?"
"Yeah, I've got it in mind!"
Zheng Chunyan spread out her notebook and showed it to Zheng Dasao eagerly, "Look, sister-in-law, it's exactly the same."
Wen Ran took a glance and was speechless. It was indeed word for word. Sometimes, she even remembered the interjections she pondered.
Mrs. Zheng touched the notebook with envy, looking at the mysterious symbols on it, "Just write it down, I can't read."
Zheng Chunyan was a little annoyed. "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. I..."
"Well, what does my inability to read have to do with you? Are you sorry?"
"sister in law……"
Wen Ran smiled brightly, "Well, just follow the steps I told you. But since this is your first time, you should start with a 10:1 ratio of glutinous rice to wheat seedlings. If it succeeds, then think about saving raw materials and make a 5:1 ratio."
"Okay, thank you very much."
“You’re welcome.”
According to Wen Ran's instructions, they spread out the wheat to allow it to germinate. After doing some other preparations, Wen Ran and his group left in a hurry.
After all this trouble, we returned to the Shaluozi Brigade and happened to catch the pig-killing meal.
The captain came over in a hurry, "Are you okay? Is everything going well?"
"Well, it went smoothly. They have already noted down the recipe I gave them," Wen Ran touched his stomach, feeling a little hungry.
"You must be hungry," the captain said with a loving face, "Hurry up, we can eat soon."
After saying that, he glanced at Captain Zheng and said sarcastically, "That's rude. They came all the way to help you, but you didn't even ask to stay for a meal."
Captain Zheng laughed, "I forgot, I really forgot."
"Shame on you," the captain said sourly, "I didn't even let her do the work for nothing!"
Captain Zheng immediately promised, "No matter whether the maltose can be made this time, I will definitely give you what you deserve!"
"That's more like it."
