There was no one in the room to disturb him. Song Tao ate his meal while telling them about Qin Menglan coming to him to have his urine pumped in the morning.
Gong Linglong, who was enjoying the braised pork belly, asked: "Did you really drink the whole pot?"
"Ahem, there wasn't even a whole pot, probably one third of the pot. The rest was splashed on his face and head. There was a very strong foul smell in the ward, so bad that the nurse had to clean it up many times." Song Tao couldn't help laughing when he thought about it.
Gong Linglong rolled her eyes and smiled slyly: "Today he'll have to pee, tomorrow he'll have to eat shit."
Song Tao: "...Maybe."
Bai Shuixian and Lu Jingchuan chuckled quietly, looking forward to tomorrow's excitement.
"Oh, there's so much fun happening at home that I don't even want to go to school." Song Tao regretted not asking for a few more days off.
Gong Linglong chuckled softly, understanding his feelings very well. She smiled and said, "When the matter has a final conclusion, I will write the subsequent events into a story and mail it to you. I guarantee that you will feel as if you are there in person."
Song Tao expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Bai Shuixian smiled at her increasingly lively daughter and gave each of the three younger generations a piece of meat. "Taozi, Jingchuan, eat quickly. The meat won't taste as good if it gets cold."
"Mom (Auntie), you eat too."
Four people, four dishes, everything was cleaned up, not a drop of soup left.
Lu Jingchuan put the dishes into the basket and didn't let Gong Linglong wash them. He said to the mother and daughter, "Linglong, you take a nap with mom this afternoon. Taozi and I will go help your aunt with some errands. I'll come over when I'm done."
"Okay, go ahead and get busy." Gong Linglong waved at him, her eyes curved with a smile.
Lu Jingchuan stared at her with deep eyes. When she smiled, she had a pair of beautiful shallow dimples, her eyes sparkled with bright and charming stars, her whole body exuded youthful and lively vitality, and her every frown and smile was very contagious. Every time he saw her smile, he felt particularly good and had a feeling of peace and satisfaction in his soul.
Gong Linglong walked them to the door and locked it after they were gone. Then she walked to the bedside and excitedly told her mother the good news: "Mom, I planted apple cores, orange seeds, and rock sugar mandarin seeds in the space. Now they have grown into fruit tree seedlings. I should be able to pick the fruit tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Bai Shuixian smiled when she heard that, and took out the remaining seeds from the orange she had eaten that morning and gave them to her. "There are still six or seven seeds here, take them and plant them."
"good."
Gong Linglong used her mind to toss the seeds into the space and continued, "Mom, I took some time out this morning to pick some peppers. I found an abandoned sack at my aunt's house, and now it's full of fresh peppers. It's not the season for peppers to ripen, so I can't sell them on the black market, and they're not easy to dry. What should I do with them?"
"Linglong, go to the supply and marketing cooperative later and buy a cutting board, an enamel basin, a large earthenware pot, and some more salt. We'll pickle the chili peppers tonight and take them to Seoul to eat later."
Bai Shuixian arranged this matter, thinking about the food and vegetables in the space, and said: "Buy more sacks and sieve bamboo baskets, and pack the ripe food and vegetables first."
"good."
Gong Linglong nodded in response and told her another thing: "Mom, the area of the space is obviously larger than it was at the beginning. We marked it last night and have moved it a little to the outside."
Bai Shuixian was very happy to hear this, and immediately told her the news she had heard from Song Tao today.
After learning that there were three welfare homes in Tancheng and a resettlement center for disabled veterans, all of whom were homeless and helpless veterans, Gong Linglong made a plan in her mind. "Mom, I understand. After you are discharged from the hospital, I will go and give them more food and money."
"Linglong, there is another hen. Is it raised at Taozi's house?" Bai Shuixian asked again.
"Well, it's currently being kept in a small cage in my aunt's backyard."
"Linglong, keep this hen in the space. Go buy some eggs later and I'll pick out some fertilized eggs to incubate. This way, we won't have to go out to buy eggs when we go to Jingchuan."
Bai Shuixian is now making plans. Both she and her daughter had no jobs in the past, and the son-in-law was the only one working and earning money. The family's daily expenses are not small. If they go back and grow more vegetables and take some vegetables and eggs from the space to supplement the food, the pressure of life can be reduced a lot.
"Mom, I've left this old hen for you to make soup to nourish your body. You can kill it and eat it after you're discharged from the hospital. I'll go buy another hen to hatch chicks later."
"Don't buy it."
Bai Shuixian had been accustomed to a frugal life over the years, and she had eaten particularly nutritious meals three times a day these past few days. She felt much better and whispered, "The aura in this space can heal wounds. I'll stay in there more often in the future, and my wounds will heal."
"As for conditioning your body, we'll take our time. This can't be done in just three to five days. After you're discharged from the hospital, I'll write a prescription myself, and you can go get me some Chinese herbs for warming and nourishing."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Gong Linglong now has a plan. She plans to raise more chickens and ducks in the space, and grow more corn and vegetables to feed them. She can slaughter one when she wants to eat it in the future.
Gong Linglong went out to buy some things and asked her mother to take a nap in the ward. She also asked her to lock the door before leaving.
In order to avoid being recognized, Gong Linglong hid in the space and changed into an old cotton-padded jacket, wrapped her head and face with an old scarf, and went shopping at supply and marketing cooperatives and state-owned stores. It took her nearly two hours to buy everything she needed.
When she returned to the ward, Bai Shuixian had already woken up. The mother and daughter entered the space together and worked together to clean up all the red peppers.
Gong Linglong had never done farm work in her previous life, but the original owner was a good hand at farm work and housework. With her memories to guide her, she was able to do the work with ease and finished all the work neatly in just one hour.
Bai Shuixian was also a person who could not sit still. She helped to pack all the ripe rice into bags, packed all the sweet potatoes and potatoes, and then replanted new seeds.
Not long after they came out of the space, Lu Jingchuan brought them dinner. It was delivered early today, and it was a simple mixed noodle dish mixed with the spicy meat sauce made at noon.
"Mom, Linglong, I have to go to the Public Security Bureau to help arrest someone tonight. I'll have a simple meal now. If you're not full, you can go to the cafeteria and buy some more."
"If you want to go and do something, don't bother making dinner. We can just buy food from the cafeteria."
Gong Linglong quickly helped open the lunch box and handed him the large portion. "Eat quickly, and then get back to work. Protect yourself and don't get hurt."
Lu Jingchuan felt warm at heart at his wife's concern, and took the initiative to tell her: "Don't worry about me, there will be no danger in tonight's operation. It's just that the number of people we need to capture is a bit large, so I'll go and help."
She had seen his skills before and knew that he could take on ten police officers by himself, so she was not worried about his safety.
Lu Jingchuan was busy at night, and Gong Linglong was not idle either. After dark, she went to two welfare homes and donated a small half of the food she had looted from Bai Gouzha. She planned to send the remaining majority of the food to another welfare home and a resettlement center for disabled veterans.
