Li Dajuan's daughter-in-law gave birth to a big fat grandson, but instead of showing any joy or happiness on her face, a red blister appeared at the corner of her mouth.
There was no way, she was worried.
The daughter-in-law had little milk, and the fat grandson couldn't get any more after just a few sips. He couldn't eat enough and could only lie there crying, his face red from crying. Finally, she took two eggs and begged a woman next door who had just given birth to feed her grandson. He was fed today, but after returning home, who else could she ask for help?
I can only find a way to make my daughter-in-law produce more milk.
That would require fish, eggs, meat and poultry, but where would she find them?
Although her family has two working parents and their material level is better than most, they cannot always get hens, fish or other fresh meat, or even some vegetables. Sometimes, even if they have money and tickets, it is difficult to find meat.
After instructing her daughter-in-law to look after her eldest grandson, she walked out of the door carrying a basket, ready to shamelessly go to the countryside to find the relative who was several generations away from her family. Even if she paid more money privately, it would be useless because her eldest grandson was still waiting for her.
As soon as Li Dajuan walked out of the hospital gate, she felt like she was walking in the wind.
At this moment, a young man about sixteen or seventeen years old suddenly came from the corner. Halfway through his walk, he did not walk straight towards him, but instead swayed in place.
For some unknown reason, her attention was drawn to take another look.
The young man was tall, with fair skin, neatly cut hair, a straight nose, a beard on his chin, and two dark circles under his handsome eyebrows.
Combined with his anxious footsteps and the huge package on his back, he silently told others that he was in trouble.
Li Dajuan was still worried. She was about to divert her gaze when she accidentally glanced and saw a chicken head popping out from the gap in his package.
The chicken came out?
Li Dajuan squinted her eyes and blinked again. The chicken just shook its head, as if to say, "I am the chicken you are looking for."
Under normal circumstances, she probably wouldn't even approach a young man with poultry and ask him about it.
Now it is really urgent and there is no other way.
The young man looked up at the woman who stopped him, his eyes revealing a hint of doubt and vigilance.
There were people coming and going at the door, so Li Dajuan didn't dare to say anything and gestured for him to go to a place where there was no one nearby.
The two of them stood under a large tree away from people. Li Dajuan felt it was a bit awkward, but since they were called over, she had to look at the young man in front of her. When she got closer, she realized that the young man in front of her was really handsome, with a kind of exquisite handsomeness.
She lowered her voice and asked, "Hey young man, are you giving this chicken away? I see you've been hanging around there for quite a while."
"Well, you didn't tie the package tightly, and the chicken came out. If you're not giving this away as a gift, then, are you going to sell it?"
The sound behind seemed as light as a breath.
After she said this, she saw the young man in front of her show a wary expression and pull the package tighter.
Li Dajuan was afraid that he would leave, so she hurriedly explained, "Eh? I didn't mean anything else. I just wanted to get something else, or at least exchange it."
Seeing that the young man in front of her had lost some of his vigilance, she wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Look, if I wasn't anxious, I wouldn't have stopped you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man slowly put down the package, revealing the old hen that Li Dajuan had been thinking about.
The young man's voice was also very pleasant, "How much?"
"Ah? What? Oh," Li Dajuan realized, fearing he would change his mind, and said a price with surprise. "You see, it's 1.2 yuan a catty outside and you need a ticket. I don't have a ticket right now, so I'll give you 1.4 yuan a catty. I see this chicken is at least 3.5 catties, so I'll give you 4.9 yuan. Round it up to 5 yuan, okay?"
Money was no longer as important as her eldest grandson, so she'd rather spend a little more. Besides, if she went to the countryside and gave some gifts, it would cost about the same. And if she went today, she didn't know if she'd be back before tonight.
After saying this, she kept staring at the young man in front of her.
Accepting the memory of this era, Lu Qin knew that this was probably the price on the market.
When he opened the package, he accidentally revealed the eggs inside... They were all fresh, but it was a pity that several of them were eaten by hooligans.
Li Dajuan's eyes lit up, and she asked the question clearly, and bought up the rest by the way.
After thanking her again and again, Li Dajuan secretly handed over the money and the goods, and returned to the ward carrying a lot of bags.
Her daughter-in-law hadn't slept, her eyes were red, and she couldn't produce milk. Not only was her mother-in-law upset, but she herself was upset too. Now she saw her mother-in-law walking in with a smile on her face, carrying a lot of things, even a chicken in her hands. She widened her eyes in surprise, "Mom?"
Li Dajuan smiled and said, "I'm lucky today. I met a good person. And here's a big hen."
She walked to the window, put down her things, and looked at her grandson with loving eyes. She looked out the window and saw that there was no one under the big tree opposite. She exclaimed, "How could the person disappear so quickly?"
Lu Qin, who had hidden his achievements and fame again, whistled happily after she left, and then packed up the remaining things. It was worth it that he went through a long detour to find this place.
After collecting the money, he counted it, divided it into two parts, and quickened his pace to run in the opposite direction.
The sun gradually climbed to the center and the shadows became shorter.
The things have been packed.
Sun Laimei was lying on the bed holding her grandson, watching her daughter-in-law stuff all the clothes, thermos and other items into a package.
Lu Chunnong checked the package over and over again, hesitated and did not dare to go out. He glanced outside frequently, and his hands were cold.
"Chun Nong? Chun Nong?"
Lu Chunnong was distracted. "Ah? Mom, what's wrong? Do you want to go to the bathroom?"
"No, I just called you several times. What are you thinking about? When are we going back? When will your uncle come over?"
No one has fed the two chickens at home these days. I don’t know if they have laid eggs. And the pickles I made in November can be eaten this month.
After a series of questions, Lu Chunnong was a little distracted. She could only suppress her anxiety and pick out questions to answer her, "Mom, don't worry. Just sit for a while. We can go back soon."
Sun Laimei had no choice but to calm down again and play with her grandson's toys, but she would glance at her daughter-in-law from time to time to observe her expression.
There was a sudden noise at the door of the room.
Lu Chunnong stood up quickly.
As soon as Zhou Guixiang entered the room, she was startled by her movements and her eyes inadvertently moved around.
"Chun Nong, Lu Qin hasn't come back yet?"
When Lu Chunnong saw who it was, her heart dropped again. She opened her mouth, but thinking of the few dollars he had lent her, she didn't dare to meet her eyes. She opened her mouth and uttered with difficulty, "Not yet."
Sun Laimei was confused as she listened to their conversation, but she grasped the key point, "Chun Nong wants to wait for Lu Qin to go back together?"
When Zhou Guixiang heard this, she knew that Lu Chunnong had not told her mother-in-law about it.
Lu Qin jogged all the way and broke out in a sweat in the cold weather. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that many people were looking at him today.
When he reached the door, he stopped and casually wiped his hair.
"sister?"
