Qi Fusheng looked at Jiang Xiaohui with a complicated look.
If he had agreed to Qingmei earlier, the three children would not have suffered this.
"Okay, go back and wash and change your clothes, then come into the house to eat."
"No need, I can cook for myself." Jiang Xiaohui refused and walked away with a blank face.
Qi Fusheng, "..."
"Dad, everyone in the village is here. Brother Xiaohui should be excused. I will bring him food later." Qi Qingmei said softly to Qi Fusheng.
Qi Fusheng nodded and shouted to the members who came over to watch the fun, "Go to work, my two kids are back, so I won't go to the fields anymore.
You guys finish your work, I'll come to check later, if it's not done well I'll deduct your work points."
The members all went to work with laughter.
When I went back to work in the fields, I found Zhu Yinling still lying on the ground. Something looked wrong.
"Jiang Kun, quickly carry your mother back."
A woman with a towel covering her head shouted at Jiang Kun.
Jiang Kun walked over slowly and looked down at his mother, who was almost unrecognizable after being beaten.
He resigned himself to his fate and carried Zhu Yinling on his back and walked back.
"Why does Zhu Yinling only remember to eat and not to be beaten? She can't provoke the Jiang family but still wants to provoke them. Isn't she asking for a beating?"
"Who says it's not true? She has suffered all her life because of her big mouth. She dares to say anything."
"The Jiang family is united. Jiang Chunshan and his wife have a very good relationship. Zhu Yinling even said that Hongmei and Jiang Chunlin were having an affair. If she doesn't get beaten, who will?"
"If she was making up stories about other people, I would believe it, but when she was making up stories about Jiang Chunlin...it's because she thinks her skin is too loose and needs someone to tighten it up."
Several people laughed and chatted while working, and the thing they talked about most was the return of the village chief's two children.
Most people thought they would never come back, but unexpectedly, the baby was lucky and came back safe and sound.
When Gao Qiufeng got home, she filled the pot with water and said to Liang Lu, "Lulu, go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy some meat. We will make dumplings later."
"Okay." Liang Lu replied with a smile, went into the house, got the meat coupons and money, and rode her bicycle to the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Zhongcai, what happened in the past few days? Why did you come back just now?" Qi Fusheng sat under a tree in the yard and asked Qi Zhongcai, who looked haggard.
Qi Zhongcai glanced at Qi Qingmei's room and said with a strange look, "Dad, it's all over. I don't want to mention it anymore, and you don't have to ask."
Qi Fusheng thought that the kid had a hard time these days and now that he had just returned, he naturally didn't want to mention the bad things and didn't ask any more questions, planning to ask again after a few days.
Qi Qingmei stood at the window, looking at Qi Zhongcai and Qi Fusheng sitting in the yard.
I felt relieved when I heard what Qi Zhongcai said to Qi Fusheng.
"Zhongcai, come and get some hot water. You and Qingmei should take a bath first." Gao Qiufeng stood at the kitchen door and said to Qi Zhongcai with a smile.
Qi Zhongcai responded and went to Qi Qingmei's room carrying a bucket of hot water.
Qi Qingmei stood up from the edge of the kang and looked at Qi Zhongcai with a pale face, "Brother..."
"I didn't say anything." Qi Zhongcai interrupted Qi Qingmei, put the bucket on the ground, turned around and went out, carrying a large basin in, and poured the water in the bucket into the basin.
He walked to the door carrying the empty bucket, paused, and did not look back.
"Qingmei, I am your brother, but what you did makes me so disappointed."
"Brother, I didn't mean it, I..."
"I know." Qi Zhongcai smiled bitterly, "You should take a shower."
After saying that, Qi Zhongcai left with the empty bucket.
Liang Lu bought two pounds of pork belly. Gao Qiufeng had already kneaded the dough and went to her private plot to cut some leeks, which she chopped together with the meat.
While making dumplings, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted and laughed, sweeping away the gloom of the previous few days.
"Mom, sister-in-law, I'm here to help too." Qi Qingmei had already taken a shower, changed into clean clothes, and walked in with half-dry hair.
Liang Lu looked at Qi Qingmei in surprise. This sister-in-law never goes into the kitchen to cook. Did the sun rise from the west today?
"My child has grown up!" Gao Qiufeng looked at Qi Qingmei and smiled.
Qi Qingmei smiled shyly, "Mom, people will grow up eventually."
"Yes, my baby has grown up." Gao Qiufeng said with a smile.
Liang Lu glanced at Qi Qingmei and felt something was weird.
After the dumplings were cooked, the family sat in the yard and ate them.
"Dad, Auntie." Qi Dongming, who was lying on a low stool eating dumplings, suddenly looked up and said, "Everyone in the village said you were dead and would never come back. The other kids bullied me."
"Mingming, what's wrong with your neck?" Liang Lu then noticed that there was a scratch on her son's neck, with blood oozing out.
He quickly put down the bowl, pulled his son into his arms, pulled open his clothes and looked at the wound on his neck.
Qi Dongming buried his face in his mother's arms in grievance, "They all said that my father and my aunt were dead.
I told them they were talking nonsense and they beat me.”
Liang Lu hugged her son distressedly, "They are talking nonsense, your father and your aunt are fine."
"Well, I'll go and argue with them after dinner. I'm going to fight back." Qi Dongming said unconvinced.
"Grandma will go with you later and see who dares to hit my baby." Gao Qiufeng said with a deliberately threatening face.
Qi Dongming grinned, then ran to a low stool and continued eating dumplings.
Gao Qiufeng put down the bowl, got some wood ash and gently rubbed it on her grandson's neck.
"Mingming, aunt will go with you later." Qi Qingmei said to Qi Dongming with a smile.
Qi Dongming smiled at Qi Qingmei, "Okay!"
Liang Lu glanced at Qi Qingmei. Could it be that after escaping death, her personality has become more humane than before?
…
Shen Qinghe came back from the county and heard He Xiuyun say that Qi Qingmei and the others had returned. She also heard that Zhu Yinling had been beaten unconscious and Jiang Kun had sent her to the county hospital.
"Zhu Yinling deserves it. I've disliked her for a long time." He Xiuyun picked up a chicken leg for Shen Qinghe, "Qinghe, eat more. Ask Chunlin to go to the mountain and catch a pheasant. I'll make soup for you tomorrow."
"Thank you, mother." Shen Qinghe smiled and slowly chewed the chicken leg.
Jiang Chunlin looked at Shen Qinghe's small mouth slowly biting the chicken leg, and thought to himself, my wife loves to eat chicken legs.
So, after dinner, Jiang Chunlin went to the mountains to catch pheasants.
Didn't Shen Qinghe say that they were not spiritually familiar? He didn't know how to make her spiritually familiar, but it was always right to be nice to her.
Shen Qinghe sat in front of the sewing machine and made clothes for a while. After thinking for a while, she went out and walked towards the educated youth point.
She wanted to ask Jiang Xiaohui why he was also captured by that group of people that day.
What happened next?
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the educated youth center, I ran into Qi Qingmei who came to see Jiang Xiaohui.
"Shen Qinghe, what are you doing here?" Qi Qingmei didn't expect to meet Shen Qinghe at the entrance of the educated youth center, and glared at her.
Shen Qinghe blinked and deliberately angered Qi Qingmei, "I'm here to find your brother Xiaohui."
Qi Qingmei, "..."
