Qian Xiaolan became angrier and angrier, and decided to find an opportunity to ask for some compensation.
"Xiaolan!"
Hearing that Hu Guifen had returned, Qian Xiaolan hurried out of the kitchen and asked, "Aunt, what's wrong?"
Hu Guifen handed her a bottle of medicine: "Although the wound on your head has scabbed over, you still need to apply the medicine. I bought this for you at the health center."
Qian Xiaolan didn't expect that she still remembered this, so she took it with gratitude. But before she could say any words of thanks, Hu Guifen left in a hurry again.
She pursed her lips and smiled, then closed the gate and went back to the kitchen to pack up some odds and ends.
When Qian Xiaolan saw the tin tea can, she held it in her hand and looked at it for a long time. After thinking about it, she stuffed it into the space.
This tea can was one of the few items her mother got from her grandmother when the family split up.
Her father was not good at speaking and he didn't know how to please people. After serving in the army for a few years, he came back with a lame leg. Her grandparents disliked him even more and only sided with their youngest son.
When the family was divided, her grandfather had already passed away. Her grandmother and mother did not get along, and they wanted to kick her family out of the house on the grounds that her father had no son.
Her mother had a very bad temper and made a scene without caring about her dignity. In the end, she got fifty yuan, three sets of bowls and chopsticks, a kettle and a tin tea can.
There is no more, otherwise her grandmother will fight with her mother.
Qian Xiaolan used to hear her mother scolding her grandmother at home, and knew that her grandmother had a lot of silver dollars that she had hidden away.
There was also a gold bracelet, a gold ring and a pair of gold earrings, all of which were given to Sun Honghua after her death.
I don’t know where Sun Honghua hid the things. She didn’t see them this time.
While thinking about all these things in her mind, Qian Xiaolan had tidied up the house without realizing it.
When she looked up, the sun was setting. No wonder she was so hungry.
She cooked some sweet potato porridge and some cold cucumber to fill her stomach, then she picked up a bucket of water, picked up a bundle of straw ropes in the yard and threw it into the space, then went out to fetch water.
The village's domestic water is drawn from mountain streams and village wells.
Qian Xiaolan's home was at the foot of the mountain, closer to the stream, so she walked into the mountain.
About five minutes later, she saw several bamboo pipes dripping water under a cliff, and then she remembered that this was the water collection point built by several old men at the mule shed.
She unceremoniously placed the bucket under the bamboo pipe to collect water, then stood up and went into the mountain.
Even though the original owner's father, Qian Changfu, had always been quiet before, he was actually a very powerful man.
He didn't stay in the army for long, only three years or so before he was discharged due to injury, but he was very skilled. After returning home, he could still drag his crippled leg up the mountain to hunt and dig traps, and go to the sea to fish, dig for earthworms and catch crabs.
He is much more capable than the men in the village who have all their hands and feet.
The original owner grew up with Qian Changfu until he was eleven years old, and learned some skills from him.
Later, I learned a lot of medicine from that old man, and I learned even more.
There was a trap on the mountain that the original owner had secretly dug.
Qian Xiaolan followed her memory and turned left and right in the mountains, and finally came to the trap dug by the original owner.
Seeing the hay on the trap collapse, Qian Xiaolan was delighted and quickened her pace.
However, when she looked into the trap, her face changed drastically.
