The three of them heard the sound and turned around at the same time.

I saw a dark-skinned woman wearing a straw hat, with a clean white towel with holes in it hanging around her neck.

He had a basket of earth hanging on his arm and a pickaxe in his hand, and was greeting them with a smile on his face.

"Yes, yes, we just moved here today. Did you just come back from the fields?" Mother Lu didn't expect that there was someone living next door to her. When she heard the person greeting her, she quickly put down the things in her hands and started chatting with the person.

"Auntie, my name is Qian Xiaomei. I just moved here a few days ago. Now that I have finished cleaning the house, I am going to clean the floor." Qian Xiaomei put her things on the floor and took out the key from her pocket while speaking.

Section 35

"My surname is Lu, you can just call me Aunt Lu. This is my daughter, she's not feeling well, we're here to take care of her for a while." Mother Lu asked Lu Qingyan to come out and say hello to the neighbors, after all, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor.

Get along well with your neighbors now, so that when they are gone, you can ask them for help when you need help.

"Hello, my name is Lu Qingyan, and I'm Gu Mingze's lover." Lu Qingyan also knew that she would live here for a long time in the future, so she had to build good relationships with her neighbors, but if she really couldn't get along, there was nothing she could do.

"Hello, my name is Qian Xiaomei, I'm Chen Dong's wife. I heard from my Chen Dong that he was a subordinate of Captain Gu." Qian Xiaomei looked at the fair and beautiful woman in front of her and spoke haltingly.

"Haha, don't be nervous. I just moved here and don't have any friends yet. Let's get to know each other more often in the future." Lu Qingyan felt that this Qian Xiaomei was very pleasing to her eyes, so she decided to spend more time with her in the future. If they could get along well, then she would have a friend in this era.

"Okay, then if you don't understand something, just ask me." Qian Xiaomei was almost dazzled by this smile, and quickly agreed.

"Then go get busy. When you are not busy, come over and visit me." Lu Qingyan faintly heard Qian Xiaomei's stomach rumbling, so she asked someone to hurry up and get busy.

"I'm going back to the house to eat first. I've been busy all afternoon and my stomach is growling." Qian Xiaomei smiled and scratched her head, picked up her things and pushed the door open to go into the house.

Lu Qingyan took a look inside from the door and saw that the whole house was obviously more than half the size of her own. She guessed that Qian Xiaomei's husband must not have a high position.

Although Gu Mingze's position was not high, he was still a battalion commander, and a young one at that. It was estimated that there were only a few such young battalion commanders in the entire military region, right?

"Xiaoyan, you've been standing for too long. Go back to your room and lie down." Seeing her daughter standing there in a daze, Mother Lu shouted.

"Mom, my stomach is fine, let me stay for a while." Lu Qingyan stood at the door basking in the sun, feeling very comfortable and didn't want to go back to the house.

"Please don't do that. Have you forgotten what your uncle Zhang said, that he told you to stay in bed for three months? Go back quickly and wait for you to get better. You can stay however you want. No one will stop you." Mother Lu didn't listen to her daughter and wanted to help the man.

"No need to help me, can't I go back by myself?" Lu Qingyan looked at her mother's actions, feeling a little amused, but she still obeyed and went back to the room to lie down on the bed.

"Auntie, what happened to my sister-in-law?" When Qian Xiaomei heard no movement at the door, she stuffed a few pieces of pickled vegetables into her steamed bun and came out, eating while asking

"I'm pregnant, but I'm having a miscarriage. The doctor told me to take good care of it for a few months." Mother Lu thought that although the old saying is that you can't tell anyone before three months, it's not right to say that her daughter is in poor health, so she said it after some consideration.

"Ah? Then you have to take good care of it, otherwise it will be difficult to give birth to a child." Qian Xiaomei didn't expect that the old lady who just said that her daughter was in poor health was referring to this.

"Yes, your uncle and I are worried that she can't take care of herself, so we came here to serve her." Mother Lu felt okay with the person in front of her, so she stood there and chatted with him for a long time.

At the last moment, he asked, "Girl, how long have you been married? Why don't I see your child?"

"Hey, I've been married for seven or eight years, and my two kids are in my hometown. My mother-in-law said it's too crowded here, so she's leaving the kids at home for now. I'll move to a bigger place later and bring them over." Seeing that the old lady suspected that she wasn't married, Qian Xiaomei waved her hand and explained.

"Haha, look at me. I saw that you didn't have any children in your room, so I thought you had just been married for a short time." When Mother Lu heard this, she realized that there was a misunderstanding.

"I didn't want to come here at first, but my mother-in-law said that we have been apart for a long time and rarely see each other, so she insisted that I come here." After hearing that she could join the army, Qian Xiaomei also wanted to come, but then she thought about her husband's suggestion that the place they were assigned was not big, so she hesitated.

After all, her husband is the only son left in her husband's family. If she leaves, her mother-in-law will be left alone at home, and she will be worried.

Later, her mother-in-law suggested leaving the two sons at home, so she thought that was fine. The two children are almost seven years old this year, and the youngest is four years old. They can take care of themselves at home and also give her mother-in-law some companionship.

So she slapped her thigh and came here by herself, but she had already made plans. After she finished planting the crops, she would go home to pick up her mother-in-law and children so that they would not have to stay in two places.

"You have a good mother-in-law. If it was a bad one, she would definitely not let you come." When Mother Lu heard this, she was thinking about her daughter's mother-in-law, and her good mood disappeared completely.

"That's not a big deal. My mother-in-law is always nice to me." Qian Xiaomei laughed when she heard this.

"Little sister, you worked all morning and this is all you eat?" Mother Lu asked when she noticed the steamed bread in Qian's hand.

"Yes, it's good to have this. In my hometown, we may not even be able to eat steamed bread made like this." Qian Xiaomei said as she ate the delicious food

"That's not possible. Where are you from? My family also eats steamed bread, but at least we have it every meal and can eat our fill." Mother Lu frowned when she heard this.

"My family is from Jilin Province. It's raining heavily. It was still raining when I came here two days ago. The crops in the fields were all flooded. I don't know what to do in the fall." Qian Xiaomei frowned when she talked about this.

She brought her mother-in-law and children over when the time came, but there were so many relatives in her hometown, and she felt very uncomfortable seeing them suffer.

"It was still raining when you came. But when I returned to Heilongjiang from Liaoning Province a few days ago, the rain had stopped." Mother Lu didn't dare to think about it now. How could the land be in good condition after it rained for so many days in a row?

"Then the rain may stop in my hometown." When Qian Xiaomei heard this, her voice became louder.

"Yes, it's possible that you've been out for so long that the rain has stopped at home." Just as Mother Lu nodded, she saw the sky suddenly become cloudy, followed by lightning and thunder, as if a heavy rainstorm was about to come.

"Little sister, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going back to my room." Mother Lu now had a bad feeling in her heart. After saying hello to little sister Qian, she told the old man to go back to the house and clean out all the water tanks.

Then I filled them up with water, boiled a pot of hot water, and filled two thermos and a military kettle. Only then did I feel relieved.
