Suddenly he heard Gu Juncheng's voice coming from outside, as if he was ordering him to stand in the corner again?
She quickly got up and washed, and saw Gu Juncheng coming out of Zhiyuan's room.
Seeing her, Gu Juncheng coughed twice and looked away.
Lin Qingping: ...What is this person thinking about?
"What happened to Zhiyuan?"
Gu Juncheng's expression returned to normal. "You little brat, you learned to run away from home! I caught you at the entrance of the village!"
Lin Qingping suddenly remembered what Zhiyuan said yesterday: He will leave...
He actually left!
She still carried a glass of milk into Zhiyuan's room.
Zhiyuan has a small body, but he stands in a very standard military posture with his body very straight. He didn't even turn around when he heard someone coming in.
"Zhiyuan." She called him, "Didn't you drink milk today?"
Zhiyuan tilted his head slightly and ignored her.
There is still no ice-breaking between her and Zhiyuan.
Ever since she got married, she has ignored Zhiyuan. Zhiyuan doesn't like her, but Zhiyuan is very clear about one thing: she is Uncle Gu's wife and one of their own. So, even if someone outside slanders her, he will defend her no matter what, because this is to protect Uncle Gu's face.
Lin Qingping looked at this little kid and felt very sorry for him.
"Come, drink the milk first," just like last time, she fed it to his mouth.
This time, he didn't drink it. Instead, he lowered his head and dodged it.
"What's wrong? Can you tell me?" She asked patiently, "I heard from your uncle Gu that you are leaving?"
The word "go" finally made him move, but he lowered his head even lower. "I will leave after Uncle Gu returns to the army."
"Why are you leaving? Where are you going?" she asked in surprise.
Zhiyuan fell silent again.
Lin Qingping thought for a moment and put down the milk cup, "What if I say I won't let you go?"
When Zhiyuan heard this, he suddenly raised his head.
Lin Qingping discovered that the child's eyes were indeed red again.
"I won't let you go, Zhiyuan," she repeated.
"Then...then give me eggs and milk powder..." the little guy stuttered.
"What does this have to do with you leaving?" She didn't understand either.
Zhiyuan lowered his head. "It's the same in operas and storytellers. They give guests good food and wine, some gifts, and then send them away..."
Lin Qingping: …
It turned out to be such a misunderstanding.
A sensitive and precocious child who really thinks too much...
“I…I…”
Lin Qingping hugged Zhiyuan for a long time, "Zhiyuan, that's not what I meant. You misunderstood. From now on, you will have eggs to eat and milk to drink every day. I will make them for you, right here at home. I just hope you grow up tall and strong, like Uncle Gu."
Zhiyuan didn't say anything, but Lin Qingping felt that there was a wet spot on her thin summer shirt where Zhiyuan's eyes were pressed.
Zhiyuan, thank you for calling me "Mom". In this life, we both start over again...
Lin Qingping didn't let Zhiyuan continue standing in the corner. After watching him drink the milk, she boiled an egg for him and then started preparing the meal.
She worked in the catering industry in her previous life and was quite skilled in cooking. However, during her time at the Gu family, she was notoriously lazy and never worked, and she also never let anyone else have her delicious food.
But today, she walked into the kitchen.
It was as if the mother-in-law saw the sun rising in the west.
"Well... Chengzi finally came back, I'll make him something to eat." Lin Qingping explained, "You...you go do something else, I'll do it."
No matter how naughty this daughter-in-law usually is, Liu Fen felt more or less comfortable that she had this intention towards her son, and she gave the kitchen to her.
In the countryside at that time, material resources were very limited. My mother-in-law treated oil and sugar like treasures and was reluctant to use them. Lin Qingping did not dare to waste them either, so she just used the existing ingredients to cook a meal.
The big pumpkin was steamed and mashed, and mixed with cornmeal to make a full pot of pumpkin cakes. I was reluctant to fry it in oil, so I fried it with a little oil, but it tasted very good. The pumpkins grown in the countryside are sweet, and after it was cooked, it was just the right sweetness that everyone loved when desserts became popular decades later.
Then, the tofu is directly baked and sprinkled with chili powder and salt. Although it is not as amazing as the tofu with pulp, it is much better than my mother-in-law's cooking skills, who can only stir-fry tofu and often make it black.
The lentils were fried until they were burnt in the iron pan, and the green peppers were also fried until they were burnt, and then they were mixed together and fried until they smelled so good that my mother-in-law thought she had burned down the kitchen.
After frying a large plate of cabbage, the rice is ready.
When it was served on the table, Zhiyuan stared at the pumpkin pie with shining eyes, and his mother-in-law was also shocked.
Lin Qingping first gave Zhiyuan two pumpkin cakes and said to her mother-in-law, "Mom, you eat first. I'll go call Dad and Chengzi back for dinner."
She thought Gu Juncheng was helping his father-in-law with work, but when she arrived at the field, she found that only her father-in-law was there.
After calling her father-in-law, she continued to look for Gu Juncheng. She walked around the village but didn't see anyone. However, she saw that all the villagers were running towards the back mountain.
"Hurry! There was a landslide in the back hill, and I heard someone was injured!"
"Let's go! Let's take a look!"
The young and old in the village were still very enthusiastic and ran up the mountain. Lin Qingping was startled. Could it be that Gu Juncheng was also on the mountain? She had searched everywhere but couldn't find him!
She immediately followed the villagers and ran up the mountain.
Soon we arrived at the landslide site.
Lin Qingping was looking up from below, and saw Gu Juncheng hanging on a tree, holding a branch with one hand and holding a person with the other hand: Chen Xia.
The whole valley was filled with Chen Xia's cries, "Brother Chengzi, Brother Chengzi, please don't let go! I'm scared..."
Lin Qingping's heart was hanging on Gu Juncheng, and the tree he was climbing was already shaky.
The two people were actually not very high from the ground. As long as Gu Juncheng let go of their hands and jumped down, neither of them would die. However, it was hard to say whether their arms and legs would be broken.
The most important thing is that Gu Juncheng died young in his previous life, and Lin Qingping already has a shadow in her heart and cannot bear to see him encounter any danger.
She didn't even dare to shout, for fear of scaring Gu Juncheng and causing him to fall accidentally.
The villagers spread out their fishing nets at the bottom of the collapsed cliff and shouted to the people on top, "Chengzi, come down! We will catch you!"
"Okay! I'm letting go! Hold tight!" Gu Juncheng shouted.
Then, Gu Juncheng let go and they both fell into the fishing net.
The moment Lin Qingping saw Gu Juncheng fall into the net safely, she breathed a sigh of relief, but what was going on with the two people in the net?
Chen Xia hugged Gu Juncheng's neck and started crying, "Wow, Brother Chengzi, thank you, wow, Brother Chengzi, you really scared me to death..."
Lin Qingping discovered that Chen Xia was wearing a green top.
She suddenly remembered the figure that flashed by behind the big tree that day...
A woman's intuition sent alarm bells ringing in Lin Qingping's ears.
Chen Xia was the one who cancelled her engagement with Gu Juncheng because she disliked Zhiyuan.
But didn't Chen Xia get engaged to a young man who came to the countryside from the city to train? That was before she and Gu Juncheng got married. Why is she here again now?
