Chapter 468: Dreams at Night
Gao Yunyi was shocked.
Chen Kexin and Dong Li, who were following behind to see the guests off, looked suspicious.
Only Zhao Meihua, who had just stood up from the edge of the kang, understood that it must be her mother-in-law who was eavesdropping. Her mother-in-law had done such a thing before.
Besides, there is no outsider at home, so who else could it be if not her? She suddenly fell weakly on the edge of the kang.
She wanted to keep the family's dirty laundry private, but her mother-in-law kept pushing her boundaries.
So embarrassing!
Sure enough, after the sound of the fall, Xiaoliang’s grandmother’s angry curses were heard, “What are you doing? You’re going to kill me.”
What a way to turn the tables!
After hearing Xiaoliang's grandmother's voice, several people immediately realized that the other party must be eavesdropping, or they must have put their ears against the door, otherwise there would not be such an effect of being hit.
Gao Yunyi sneered and said, "Auntie, didn't you go back to your room to sleep? Why are you hiding behind the door like this?"
Chen Kexin said sarcastically, "Why do you have to eavesdrop? If you want to hear something, just go into the house and listen openly."
Xiaoliang's grandmother looked at him angrily and said in defense, "Who said I was eavesdropping? I just wanted to ask you if you wanted some water. Good intentions were not rewarded, and you hit me to death..."
Several people knew very well that the old man was just trying to cover up the problem.
They didn't want to argue, so Gao Yunyi continued to walk out.
When she walked into the yard, she whispered to Chen Kexin and Dong Li who followed her out, "Don't bother with the old man, or Zhao Meihua will lose face."
They both nodded.
Seeing Sister Gao walking further and further away, the two turned back and found that Grandma Xiaoliang, who had just fallen to the ground, had already returned to the house swiftly.
When I returned to Zhao Meihua's room, I saw that her eyes were red and swollen, and she was sitting on the edge of the kang with a depressed look on her face.
Xiaoliang was lying on the kang and had fallen asleep.
Zhao Meihua said apologetically: "Kexin, Dong Li has wronged you. Can you go back tomorrow morning?"
Chen Kexin shook her head and said, "No rush. Settle down tomorrow morning, and we'll help you move in the afternoon and go back together. You have nothing to do now, do you need our help to pack?"
Zhao Meihua shook her head and said, "There's nothing at home. Let's talk about it tomorrow afternoon."
Chen Kexin looked around the room. The bulky tables and chairs were obviously made by amateurs. They should be the work of Xiaoliang's father. There was only a pair of small wooden cabinets with nice-looking patterns on the surface. It was obvious that they were made with money.
As for the bedding on the bed, you can just roll it up tomorrow afternoon.
There's really nothing to clean up in the room, just move the quilt and the cabinet away.
"Okay, let's clean up and go to bed too?"
The three sisters soon lay down on the kang.
Meihua was lying next to Xiaoliang at the head of the kang, Chen Kexin was lying in the middle, and Dong Li was lying at the end of the kang.
The weather nowadays doesn’t need to be very hot, so there’s no need to heat the kang. It doesn’t matter whether it’s at the head or the end of the kang.
Dong Li didn’t know if it was because she was too tired or because of her physical condition, but she quickly fell asleep with her head on the pillow, and even started to snore softly.
Chen Kexin heard Zhao Meihua tossing and turning and knew that she was not asleep.
He whispered to comfort her: "Sister-in-law, don't think too much, go to sleep, everything will be fine when Xiaoliang grows up."
Zhao Meihua's nose twitched slightly, and she was obviously crying silently. After a long while, she said, "Your eldest brother is not like his mother. He is caring and considerate to me and is generous. It's a pity..."
Chen Kexin could hear that her sister-in-law and eldest brother had a very good relationship, and her words were full of protectiveness.
She didn't believe in ghosts and gods before, but since she came here, she hopes that the dead can have a happy ending, especially those martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country.
"Sister-in-law, I believe in my eldest brother's character. He will protect you and your child in peace. Don't be sad."
"Sister, do you think people have souls after they die?"
"Sister-in-law, I think humans and ghosts are from two different worlds and there will be no intersection. You can imagine that he is watching you from a distance, or you can imagine that he has been reincarnated."
Zhao Meihua sighed heavily and said, "Sister, I understand. Go to sleep. Maybe he will come to me in your dreams. I miss him very much..."
Zhao Meihua's voice became smaller and smaller, until it was almost invisible.
Chen Kexin thought Sister Meihua had fallen asleep, so she closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep.
I don’t know how long I slept, but I heard a scream of “Ah…” and Chen Kexin woke up from her sleep in an instant.
I found Sister Meihua sitting up.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Chen Kexin asked with concern. She reached out and gently touched her forehead, and soon felt cold sweat on her face.
She hurriedly turned on the light, went downstairs, grabbed a dry towel, and wiped the sweat off Zhao Meihua's face and hair, whose eyes were dull.
"Sister-in-law, are you dreaming?"
Zhao Meihua held her hand tightly, tears streaming down her face as she said, "Sister, I dreamed that your brother was covered in blood and wanted me to save him. I wanted to hold his hand, but I couldn't reach it. I watched him being blown away by the wind, and I cried loudly while looking for him..."
Seeing Zhao Meihua's panic-stricken and helpless expression, Chen Kexin hugged her in her arms distressedly, patted her back gently and comforted her: "Sister-in-law, as the saying goes, you will dream about what you think about during the day. Don't let your imagination run wild. My brother died for the country. Like all the martyrs, he stands proudly between heaven and earth, protecting our motherland. His heroic spirit will never dissipate..."
Zhao Meihua asked helplessly: "Really?"
"Of course it's true, don't scare yourself..."
Zhao Meihua nodded slightly like a helpless child and closed her eyes weakly.
Chen Kexin was filled with grief. How many martyrs had sacrificed their lives for the country, but their loved ones were suffering from grief and pain...
She really wants to do something for the wives of soldiers and children of martyrs?
Now, her radio factory is doing well, but unfortunately she doesn't have much money.
Then we should expand the scale of production, develop new projects, recruit relatives of military martyrs, arrange jobs for them and improve their lives.
After all, there are very few military wives like Sister Meihua who can go to college.
Most of the pensions for the families of martyrs were misappropriated and they live in poverty.
After making money, he negotiated with the army to set up an orphanage to raise the orphans of martyrs' families.
Thinking of this, she lost all desire to sleep and continued to think about how to operate it.
Before she knew it, the morning light came in through the window. She got up carefully and wanted to make breakfast.
There is a lot to do today, so Sister Meihua must eat something.
Walking out into the kitchen, I saw not much white flour, but a lot of cornmeal.
After washing her hands, she wanted to make noodles with two kinds of flour.
I put the noodles on the plate and found that there was too little white flour. I secretly took out a large bowl of white flour from the space and added a small amount of corn flour.
While kneading dough with the water from the space source stream, he suddenly heard the kitchen door "bang" and it was suddenly opened. Xiaoliang's grandmother's dissatisfied voice chattered, "It's you again! You lied and said you paid for the food, but actually you regarded the money as a gift. You are shameless..."
