708: Awakening
While I was daydreaming, Yu Zhengxian came back, carrying a pot of rice porridge in a bamboo basket, and a small bowl of fried pheasant eggs, which are very precious in the forest area.
Yu Zhengxian had wiped away his tears, but his eyes were still a little red and swollen.
However, the light was dim, and Chen Ci didn't even look at him, so she didn't notice that he had just cried.
After bringing out the food, Yu Zhengxian carefully helped Chen Ci up.
Because Shen Ci was not wearing any clothes, he wrapped her in a quilt and let her lean on his arms. Then he held the porridge in one hand and scooped it into Shen Ci's mouth with the other hand.
Perhaps Chen Ci had completely given up this time, and instead of resisting, she opened her mouth and took a sip of the warm rice porridge.
Seeing that she drank the porridge, Yu Zhengxian felt relieved. He didn't say anything and fed her silently.
After feeding him a bowl of porridge and a small bowl of scrambled eggs, Chen Ci said:
"I need to get dressed."
Yu Zhengxian asked in a hoarse voice:
"Do you want my help?"
"Need not."
Yu Zhengxian gently put down the porcelain and went out.
After standing outside the house for more than ten minutes, he still felt uneasy and asked:
"Alright, alright, I'm coming in."
Just as Yu Zhengxian was about to push the door, it opened and Chen Ci came out wearing clothes and holding a spittoon to pour out urine.
Here, the winter nights are long and the weather is cold, so almost everyone, regardless of gender (including educated youth), has a spittoon or chamber pot to make it easier to get up at night.
Yu Zhengxian vaguely saw her coming out with a spittoon, and knowing that she had just relieved herself inside, he hurried over to take the spittoon:
"Give it to me, I'll pour it for you."
Without any explanation, he grabbed the spittoon.
Chen Ci had no choice but to let him do as he pleased and went back to the house. With the dim light of the lantern, she scooped up water to wash her face and brush her teeth.
Yu Zhengxian emptied the spittoon and came back into the house. He saw Chen Ci washing in the house. It seemed that he would not move out.
This comforted him a little.
He had always wanted Chen Ci to move in, but Chen Ci never agreed. He didn't expect that he would achieve his goal under the circumstances.
I can only say that life is unpredictable!
After the sunken porcelain was washed, Yu Zhengxian took the initiative to carry the basin outside to pour water.
He poured the water for washing his face to the door and saw that the bed was covered with a porcelain quilt, while his quilt was placed on the floor.
Obviously, he would have to sleep on the floor tonight.
But he didn't dare to hope to sleep in the same bed with Chen Ci.
He was already very content to be able to sleep in the same room with Chen Ci.
He took off his coat and got into the tub.
Both of them lay down. There was a dim lantern hanging on the wall. Yu Zhengxian turned his head and looked at the bed in the light.
He really wanted to have a good chat with Chen Ci. They had never really spoken to each other and there was a real lack of communication.
But I was also afraid that it was the middle of the night, and if I said something wrong, I would make her cry again, and she would not be able to sleep tonight.
Therefore, Yu Zhengxian had to hold back:
"Go to sleep, don't worry about anything, I'm here, you can sleep peacefully."
“------”
Chen Ci still didn't respond.
Yu Zhengxian knew that she would not respond to him, and he did not have any illusions, so he closed his eyes and went to sleep.
He sleeps well and falls asleep as soon as he closes his eyes.
But that night, he got up three or four times.
Every time Chen Ci needed to go to the bathroom, he would get up and stand outside the house. After Chen Ci finished, he would go back into the house to sleep.
Tossed and turned all night until dawn.
After dawn, Chen Ci got up and went to the cafeteria to work.
Yu Zhengxian stopped him and said:
"You don't have to go. I've asked for leave for you from the cafeteria. Mrs. Xue knows the situation anyway, so she won't dare to bother you. You can rest at home for ten days or half a month. When you've rested enough, go back."
Chen Ci hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to stay at home.
Yu Zhengxian hesitated, then approached Chen Ci and said:
"Wife, no matter what happens in the future, let me take care of you during this time. I know that nothing I say will be of any use, and I don't want to think too much anymore. From now on, I will do what I should do and take good care of you and your mother. You wait at home, and I will bring the meal back later."
After saying that, Yu Zhengxian turned around and left.
When I walked outside, the dog was guarding outside.
Yu Zhengxian instructed Gouzi:
"Hei Dou, from now on, when I'm not at home, you have to stay and look after the house. You are not allowed to go anywhere. Do you hear me?"
"Woof woof!"
Hei Dou barked twice and then lay down obediently at the door to guard it.
Yu Zhengxian arrived at the cafeteria and saw Mrs. Xue again.
When he saw her at this time, Yu Zhengxian really didn't feel anything, as if his six senses had been cleared and he had no distracting thoughts.
Yu Zhengxian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, how much loss must a person suffer, how many mistakes must he make, and how many precious things must he lose before he can truly wake up?
Why can't we understand those principles from the beginning?
Why do we have to wait until we get our heads broken and bleed before we know what is right and what is wrong?
Why do we have to wait until it is too late to regret?
If I had woken up a day earlier, I wouldn't have ended up in this situation today!
After finishing his work in the cafeteria with infinite regret, Yu Zhengxian finally found time to deliver breakfast back.
Chen Ci was eating the breakfast that was brought back, and Yu Zhengxian sat next to her and said:
"I'll find an electrician to run the power line to our house in the next few days, and then I'll go to the farm office to buy a light bulb. Then we'll install an electric light so we don't have to use lanterns at night."
Chen Ci didn't say anything and ate in silence.
A few days later, Yu Zhengxian found an electrician from the forest farm and installed an electric wire to his home.
After the light bulb was installed, the house was lit.
From then on, at night, there was no need to light the dim oil lamp. Just pull the lamp cord and the room would become very bright.
Since then, Yu Zhengxian seems to have really changed a lot. He talks less and becomes less interested in chatting with others.
Just kidding, I go home whenever I have time every day and never go anywhere else.
He is no longer willing to go into the mountains to hunt, because it takes half a day or even a whole day to go hunting in the mountains, and he has to bring the dog with him. Yu Zhengxian now has to leave one of him and the dog at home, otherwise he will not feel at ease.
So we haven't gone into the mountains to hunt for a long time. As a result, the food in the forest farm has declined. We haven't eaten meat for more than ten days. Occasionally, the farm office sends some pork, but it only has a slight smell of meat. Each person can't get a piece of meat, and everyone's stomach is hungry.
The workers at the forest farm were unhappy and angry. The bearded captain went to find Yu Zhengxian and threatened him:
"Do you still want the hunting rifle? If you do, go into the mountains and hunt some game for me, or give it back to me!"
Yu Zhengxian had no choice but to take his hunting rifle and hunting dog with him and go into the mountains with the Oroqen hunters from the forest farm. After searching for a long time, he brought back two roe deer and seven or eight pheasants.
The forestry workers feasted on the meat for two days in a row.
In the summer, Yu Erye came once and brought some soft cloth to Chen Ci to make baby clothes and bedding.
Chen Ci was very happy to get the fabric and finally smiled. They even specially invited Yu Erye to have a meal at their home.
Yu Erye was very happy when he saw that his elder brother and sister-in-law moved in together and that his sister-in-law's attitude had become much more relaxed, thinking that the two had reconciled.
But only the two of them knew that their relationship was just maintaining superficial peace, and the cracks in their hearts could not be bridged.
In the blink of an eye, summer goes and autumn comes.
After Yu Xiaoye finished the performance to comfort the troops and returned to the farm, he happened to meet Zhou Ziheng who brought provincial forestry experts to the forest farm to guide the work. Yu Xiaoye followed the working group to the forest farm and came to visit Chen Ci specifically.
