Chapter 59 Returning home.
After staying at Dongzi’s house for a while, Xu Wanning left.
She had to go to the black market while it was still early to exchange for some supplies.
After almost fifty yuan was exchanged, Xu Wanning stopped.
The supplies she took out from the space were all good, and occasionally taking out a little was acceptable, but if she took too much at once, it would definitely attract some people's attention, and if it caused trouble, the gain would outweigh the loss.
After coming out of the black market, Xu Wanning took a bag of millet to Dongzi's house.
"Sister-in-law, are you..." Dongzi hesitated.
He knew that nowadays such good millet could only be purchased on the black market, so his sister-in-law must have gone to the black market.
He hated his incompetence and could not let his wife and children live a good life. Even a little millet had to be supported by his sister-in-law.
But unfortunately he couldn't refuse, because this was the child's food ration. He cannot let his son have nothing to eat because of his ambition.
"Take it, it's business to fill the child's belly first. Also, don't tell Lin An about this matter. I'm afraid he won't be able to accept his special status."
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, this matter will go bad. " It's in my stomach, and I will never let Brother An Zi know."
Xu Wanning explained a few more words before returning to Dajiang Village.
On the way back, she made a special detour to the department store and bought some toffee for the two children and two pounds of peach cakes for Mother Lin.
By the time she arrived at Lin's house after a long journey, the sky was already dark.
Like many times before, as soon as she parked her bicycle, Dachun and Yaomei threw themselves into her arms one after the other.
"Mom, my sister and I have already boiled hot water. I'm going to get you some hot water to soak your feet."
"Okay, thank you Dachun."
"Mom, I used a toffee to cool down with Da Ya today. "The grass has been brewing all afternoon. I will make you a cup of hot tea with the cold grass."
"Okay, thank you Yaomei."
Looking at the busy figures of the two children, Xu Wanning felt filled with emotion.
I don’t know what the original person is thinking. Why doesn’t he cherish such a good child at all?
Now it’s good, is it easier for her?
At night, Xu Wanning was falling into a dream when she heard someone knocking on the door of the courtyard regularly.
Her sleep was always light, and she almost woke up as soon as there were two or three knocks on the door.
After sitting on the bed for a while, hearing the knocking on the door still ringing regularly, Xu Wanning put on Lin An's military coat and got out of bed.
As soon as she walked out of the bedroom, she happened to see Mother Lin who was about to go out.
"Mom, I'll just open the door. You can rest in the room."
"I'd better go, it's not safe in the middle of the night."
Xu Wanning knew that Mother Lin was worried about meeting someone with bad intentions. Ruined her reputation.
This kind of thing has happened several times in several surrounding villages. It has never happened in Dajiang Village before, but it does not mean that it has never happened before.
Xu Wanning was not worried. Mother Lin dragged her injured leg to open the door alone, and simply helped her along.
When the door opened, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were a little surprised to see the person standing at the door.
"Anzi, are you back?"
"Yes, Mom, this year's situation is special, and the organization allowed me to take leave a few days early to go home."
Xu Wanning saw that mother and son were reminiscing about old times through a door, and said hurriedly: "Go inside first, It's too cold outside."
The three of them walked into the main room, and Xu Wanning poured a glass of hot water for Lin An.
"Drink some water first to get rid of the cold."
"Thank you." Lin An reached out to take it, and his fingers inadvertently touched the back of Xu Wanning's hand. At that moment, he felt as if his hand had been electrocuted and his whole body was numb.
He subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Xu Wanning, only to see that the other party was talking to Mother Lin without realizing it.
"I'll get another brazier, so that the room can be warmer."
"It's okay, Mom, the quilts were just sewn this year, and the cotton is new, so it's warm."
Not to mention the bed is so big. , two people huddled together can rely on each other's body temperature to keep warm.
When she thought about sleeping with Lin An again later, Xu Wanning felt her cheeks burning instantly.
I just don’t know how powerful the red one is.
She was worried about being noticed by Lin An, so she kept her back to him.
In this way, no one can see her expression clearly.
"That's OK. Anzi, just go to bed after a while. If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it at dawn tomorrow."
Lin An originally wanted to finish the water in the cup, but before the water temperature dropped, Mother Lin said Constantly urging him to go back to the house and sleep.
Helpless, Lin An had no choice but to follow Xu Wanning into the room.
Xu Wanning took a brand new ceramic basin, poured some hot water from the thermos bottle, stretched out her hand to test the water temperature, and after making sure it was OK, placed it at Lin An's feet.
"Soak your feet in hot water to relieve your fatigue."
"I can do it by myself. You don't have to take care of me like this." Lin An was obviously not used to it.
Xu Wanning rarely took care of others in this way, but Lin An was still the father of two children, and just pouring hot water once was nothing.
What's more, this is a new basin that has never been used.
"It's okay, you wash up first, I'm going to lie down on the bed."
Xu Wanning took off her military coat and got into the bed shivering.
Every time she lay on the cold bed, she would spit on and criticize the author of this book.
It is obviously a story that took place in the coldest Black Province, so why not build a kang in accordance with the tradition of the Black Province?
She had been to the Black Province once in her previous life, when the temperature was more than ten degrees below zero.
It's so cold outside that if you pour freshly boiled water, it will instantly freeze into ice.
That's all, lying on the kang wearing only a thin autumn coat.
But the world of this book is obviously in the Dark Province, but the people here don’t even know what a kang is!
Therefore, we can only rely on willpower to stay warm in the winter.
Just as she was thinking about it, Xu Wanning felt that the bed beside her collapsed.
Immediately afterwards, a warm breath surrounded the right half of her body.
As expected, Lin An was indeed very warm.
She resisted the urge to move her body and did not move closer to him.
"Today..."
"Go to bed first. If you have anything to say, I'll tell you when you wake up tomorrow."
"Yeah."
The next morning, Xu Wanning got up at seven o'clock as usual.
She was about to stretch out as usual, but her hand touched something hard.
At that moment, Xu Wanning felt that her limbs were stiff.
What's extra on her bed?
She looked down tremblingly and saw Lin An, who was still sleeping soundly.
Xu Wanning breathed a sigh of relief.
It was her fault that she was still a little confused in the morning, and even her brain was shut down. She completely forgot that Lin An went home last night.
Lin An noticed the movement of the people around him, opened his eyes instantly, and sat up habitually.
