"My daughter, what time is it? It's raining outside and I don't even know when it will start." Mother Lu saw her daughter coming out and went to the balcony to serve the meal while asking
"It's past nine o'clock, Mom. Next time, you and my dad should eat first and don't wait for me." Lu Qingyan looked at the hot food on the table and felt warm in her heart.
"It's okay. Your father and I don't do anything and we're not hungry." Mother Lu waved her hand, picked up the bowl and asked, "I seemed to hear the door open in the middle of the night. Did Mingze go to work?"
"Well, they said it was raining heavily outside, and they were afraid something might happen, so they went back to the military area." Lu Qingyan took a bite of the meat stewed with dried eggplant, and her eyes suddenly lit up. She smiled and said, "Mom, your stew is still so delicious."
"If it tastes good, eat more. But you and Mingze have prepared too much. It will be a waste if they can't be stored." Mother Lu was shocked when she thought about getting up in the morning to cook and looked at the things on the balcony and under the dining table.
I was thinking that these two kids really don't know how to live. Why did they buy so many things? It would be a pity if they were spoiled.
"They can all be stored, don't worry, mother." Lu Qingyan ate the food happily, comforting the person who had been used to hardship all her life and said, "There are so many good things, just stew more at one meal, it's just right for you two elders to replenish their bodies during this period of time."
"We are both in good health, so we don't need any nourishment." Mother Lu rolled her eyes at her daughter, looked at her old man and sighed, "I don't know what's going on at home. It's raining so hard, will the crops in the fields be flooded?"
"Don't worry about it. It's not up to us to decide whether to flood the food or not." Father Lu took a bite of the dish and said while eating.
It is said that the Dongfeng Brigade and the Majia Brigade were harvesting sweet potatoes and potatoes in the midst of strong winds and heavy rains, fearing that they would rot in the fields if they were too late.
"Brother, I'm afraid all the food is ruined." The second brother Lu was barefoot and looked at the soybean and wheat seedlings that were blown down by the strong wind. Fortunately, the corn and rice seedlings were still good.
"Oh, stop talking, and start digging." Brother Lu sighed, lowered his head, pulled up the sweet potato vines with his hands, plucked the sweet potatoes off and threw them into the sack.
He lowered his head and pulled the sweet potato vines. Because of the strong wind and heavy rain, the hoe could not be used at all, so he could only pull them out little by little with his hands.
"Luckily, my parents went to my younger sister's place, otherwise they wouldn't be able to bear it after all this." Brother Lu wiped the rain off his face and said thankfully.
The brothers of the Lu family were glad that their elders had gone to Lu Qingyan's place.
However, the Gu family started quarreling with each other because the two elders of the Gu family fell ill after working all night in the wind and rain and returned home.
"Sister-in-law, you are the eldest, you should take care of our parents." Liu Xiaocao heard the coughing in the room and said with disgust.
"I'm the eldest and I should take care of my parents, but the fields are so busy right now and I have to do laundry and cooking when I come back. What's wrong with the three of us just looking after each other for a few days?" Niu Lili looked at the third son's wife and really wanted to slap her.
"Sister-in-law, don't tell her. She is a selfish person. We don't need her." Xu Lihua looked at Liu Xiaocao coldly and said, "Sister-in-law and I will take care of our parents. Don't ask us for help in the future. We won't have you as our sister-in-law in the future."
"Oh, as if I'm willing to care about you." Liu Xiaocao curled her lips, twisted her waist and went back to the house, closing the door tightly.
"Ahem, ahem, eldest daughter-in-law, third daughter-in-law, we don't need your help, please go back." Lin Dacui said while coughing and covering her chest.
"It's okay, mother. Drink the medicine quickly. I'll heat up the kang in a moment. You'll be fine after sweating at night." Xu Lihua came over with two bowls of medicine and said
Old Man Gu sighed deeply, took the bowl, raised his head and drank it. After the two daughters-in-law left, he looked at his wife and said, "Don't feel sorry for the third brother and his wife in the future. The third brother is an ungrateful person."
Lin Dacui nodded with red eyes. She didn't expect that just a cold could tell a person's true heart. She felt really anxious.
