Chapter 29 Shocking news
Zhang Chunnuan walked a little faster, rushed into the courtyard gate and walked into the main room without stopping.
I pushed the door, but it didn't open.
She put down a little pig and raised her hand to bang on the door. After a while, the door was opened from the inside.
A small head poked out of the door, with two surprisingly large eyes due to its thin cheeks.
"Mother Chun Nuan, you are finally back! Qi Qi and Qi Qiu have been crying for a long time!"
Zhang Chunnuan responded urgently, put the things in the main room and went to the room.
The mistress who stayed in the main room closed the door and stared blankly at the two little piglets that kept barking.
It's a little pig, it's so dark and beautiful!
He didn't dare to move, let alone get close to the basket and piglet Zhang Chunnuan brought back.
Two minutes later, Father Shen walked out of the room and saw the mistress leaning behind the door, looking at each other eagerly.
He sighed silently and said kindly: "My dear, it's really hard for you to help me take care of Qi Qi and Qiu Qiu. You go back to deliver medicine to grandma. If grandma is fine later, you can come to grandpa's house for dinner."
It turned out that when the third son came to Shen's house to ask Father Shen to take medicine back to his sick grandma, he happened to see Shi Qi and August crying, so he helped Father Shen comfort the children for a while.
When the third son returned home with the antipyretic medicine given by Father Shen in his arms, he was still recalling the smell of pork distributed by the production team four years ago when his parents were still alive.
He was only 4 years old four years ago, and the taste in his memory is becoming increasingly blurry, just like the appearance of his parents in his memory, which he has almost forgotten.
Talking about the Shen family, Zhang Chunnuan looked at the two children who were crying, their faces were red, and they were crying and burping while sucking milk. Her heart ached as if being tightly grasped by a big hand.
"Mom's good baby, please stop crying. Seeing you cry makes me want to cry..."
After finally coaxing and feeding the two babies, Zhang Chunnuan was just about to go to the kitchen to find some food when she heard the voice of Father Shen outside the door:
"Nuan'er, I cooked noodles for you. You must be hungry. Come out and eat some after the children are coaxed."
"Okay, I'll come out right away. It's better for you, dad. I'm really hungry!"
Zhang Chunnuan said and was about to open the door. Unexpectedly, as soon as he took two steps and escaped the sight of the two children lying on the bed, he saw them moaning and looking like they were about to cry.
She was so frightened that she quickly retreated and returned to the bed.
Seeing Zhang Chunnuan appear again, the two little kids pursed their lips and stopped crying!
Zhang Chunnuan: "..."
Did you two reincarnate without drinking Meng Po soup?!
She tapped the tip of her little nose and said, "Dad, Qi Qi and Ba Qi can't live without me now. Just open the door and come in."
When Father Shen heard what she said, he opened the door and walked in with noodles.
Putting the bowl on the bedside table, he withdrew again, stood by the door and said:
"Nuan'er, dad will help you bring the basket into the house later. I've put the two little pigs in the sheep pen. I'll find someone to build a pig pen later.
Don’t worry, you don’t have to worry about the chickens, sheep and pigs at home, dad will take care of them!”
Zhang Chunnuan sat on the edge of the bed with noodles in his hand, looked at the two eggs in the bowl, and felt warm in his heart, "I know dad is very capable, but I can't work hard. Your health is the most important thing."
As she ate, she said, thinking that the third son opened the door when she entered, and asked: "Dad, why did the third son come to our house?"
Father Shen then remembered what he had just said about letting his mistress come to dinner, and said:
"His grandma had a fever and there was no medicine at home, so she went to find Lao Zhou and Shuan Zi. They took him to the brigade health center, only to find out that the health workers were not there and there was no medicine.
Later, Lao Zhou remembered the common medicines he had prepared for me when Huzi was around, so he came to the house to ask for help. As soon as I gave Xiaosanzi the medicine, the two babies started crying.
When Lao Zhou and Shuan Zi saw that I couldn't be coaxed, they went to borrow a bullock cart from another team and said they would go to the commune to find you, so the mistress stayed to help me take care of the baby."
The old Zhou mentioned by Father Shen is the village chief uncle, and Shuanzi is the captain of the production team of Shanjiao Village.
Zhang Chunnuan asked curiously: "Third grandma has a fever? How come no one has ever heard of it?"
She sat on the bullock cart and listened to the gossip in the village, but no one mentioned it.
Father Shen sighed, "Oh... She was not in good health when she was young. Now she is old, and she only has one grandson, the third son... I heard that she was caught in the cold in order to save some firewood for the family."
At this point, he observed Zhang Chunnuan's face and said cautiously: "Nuan'er, I think our family still has plenty of charcoal. See if you can give them some."
Zhang Chunnuan hesitated for a while, then nodded and agreed, "My mistress will come to our house for dinner tonight. Let him take some back with him when he leaves so as not to be seen by others."
The charcoal in her family was bought from the team. When the team organized the chopping of firewood and burning charcoal, the family had no labor force, so they could not divide it and had to buy it.
Although she later took advantage of several trips to the mountains to cut some hardwood firewood, brought it to the farm, and used a processing workshop to process it into high-quality smokeless charcoal, the appearance was too different from the purchased charcoal so she could not use it.
Therefore, the charcoal at home is abundant, but not much.
It was barely given to the third son, grandson and grandson. If other people in the village saw it and came to beg or borrow it, what would she burn at home?
When Father Shen saw that Zhang Chunnuan had agreed, he didn't say anything more. He took the basket she had put in the main room into the house, took the empty noodle bowl and went out.
It happened that it didn't snow today, so he needed to save some fodder and vegetables for the sheep and pigs at home.
In the evening, Father Shen and Zhang Chunnuan prepared dinner but did not wait for the mistress.
"Nuan'er, how about I share some dishes for them and bring the charcoal with me?"
Zhang Chunnuan did not agree with Father Shen to go this time. It was dark, it was cold at night, and the roads in the village were not easy to walk.
She was worried.
You must know that Father Shen is several years older than Xiaosanzi's grandmother. Although he has a strong body, he is still at this age.
If you fall somewhere when you go out, or if you catch a cold or have a fever, it will be quite embarrassing.
Seeing that Zhang Chunnuan disagreed, Father Shen looked at her and licked his lips a few times, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it after all.
In order to save kerosene, Father Shen and Zhang Chunnuan went back to their rooms after dinner.
After returning to the room, Zhang Chunnuan first put her two children to sleep, then lay straight on the bed, consciously entered the farm, and began daily farming and processing.
After working for about two hours, she finally exited the farm and was about to go to bed when a rapid tapping sound suddenly came from the courtyard door.
What's going on here?
Zhang Chunnuan was lying on the bed. Just as he was about to get up, he heard the sound of the main room door being opened. He thought it must be Father Shen getting up.
Then she heard someone talking outside the courtyard gate, but she couldn't hear clearly because of the howling cold wind.
After a while, someone came in, and Father Shen's voice came from outside the house.
"Nuan'er, are you asleep? Dad is going out for a trip. Get up and close the door."
Zhang Chunnuan rolled over and sat up, put on his cotton coat, and asked anxiously: "Dad, where are you going? What happened?"
