Chen Zhaozhao saw that Chen Ermei didn't want to say more, and now was not the time to talk about this. She saw that Chen Ermei was in good condition, so she didn't ask any more questions.
Chen Ermei was also worried about her injury and asked her to lie down. The two parties briefly said a few words and then separated.
Chen Zhaozhao went back to his room, and his three sisters went to the kitchen to help.
Not long after, Yu Jinggui came with four friends.
It takes more than an hour to walk from Lishan Village to the town, and only takes about half an hour by bicycle.
The sound of "ding-ding-ding" bicycles outside the hospital is very noticeable.
Chen Dawang and Zhang Genshan went to greet him immediately.
Chen Sanmei and Chen Simei looked out of the kitchen window curiously.
Yu Jinggui was the first to come in pushing his bicycle. His bicycle was full, and the bicycles of the other four people were also full.
Rice, oil, fish, and meat made Chen Dawang and Zhang Genshan confused.
They have never seen so many things in their lives.
Chen Sanmei and Chen Simei, who were peeping in the kitchen, were also stunned.
Yu Jinggui and the other five parked their bicycles and unloaded their things.
Only then did Chen Dawang and Zhang Genshan react and go to help.
"Comrade Yu, what are you doing?" Chen Dawang asked awkwardly, looking at the things on the ground.
Yu Jinggui said with a smile on his face, "Uncle, we are a group of people with big appetites. We are here for lunch. Of course we have to bring something with us. You are welcome and put it all away."
"This... this doesn't work. How can you buy so many things? How much does it cost? You buy so many things for one meal, and we can't accept it." Chen Dawang came from those extremely difficult years and ate
Gnawing through the roots of the grass and the bark of the trees.
I know very well how difficult it is to get food.
"Uncle, just accept it. Captain Yu bought most of these things. We don't have much money, so we bought these." Wu Sanqiang pointed to a pound of meat and a fish and said with a smile.
What's left is a ten-pound bag of rice, a five-pound can of oil, two pounds of meat, two tube bones, a chicken, a duck, a fish, a basket of eggs, a bag of candy, and two bottles of canned food.
Because Yu Jing returned to town and separated from the four of them, he bought a lot of meat and fish.
"Uncle, where do you put the things? Let's take them over." Wu Sanqiang said with a smile.
"This..." Chen Dawang still didn't dare to accept it.
"Take it, uncle." Yu Jinggui said, "I owe Xiaoni a lot these years, and I also owe Comrade Chen Zhaozhao and you. It's time to buy something. These bones, chickens and cans are for Comrade Chen Zhaozhao to replenish his health.
.
This candy is for Xiaoni, we will eat the rice and meat for lunch today, and you can eat the rest slowly."
"Okay, you're interested, thank you." Chen Dawang said awkwardly, asking them to help take the things to the kitchen.
Seeing them coming, Chen Sanmei and Chen Simei immediately left the window, and Chen Simei went to open the door.
Because there were so many people, Chen Dawang didn't take anything, so he showed them the way. Yu Jinggui took the lead with rice and a bag of things.
Liu Guihua led Chen Xiaoni to the door, "Xiaoni calls daddy."
"Dad." Chen Xiaoni yelled timidly.
Yu Jinggui felt that his heart was hit by her soft "Daddy", which made him feel agitated.
"Hey." He looked at Chen Xiaoni with a smile, "Xiao Ni is so good!"
He walked in as he said, "Aunt, where do you put this rice?"
"Put it over here." Liu Guihua pointed out the location to Yu Jinggui and said awkwardly: "Comrade Yu, how can you buy so many things? How much does it cost?"
"It's okay, Auntie, just a few thoughts." Yu Jinggui said with a smile.
He looked at the kitchen of Chen Zhaozhao's house. On the left side of the door was the wall. On the left side of the wall was a door connecting the main room. There was a wooden single-door cabinet and a water tank in the inner corner.
Against the opposite wall is a three-port stove, one for cooking, one for boiling water, and one for cooking.
Opposite the stove, in the middle of the kitchen, there is a rectangular kitchen table for chopping vegetables. There is a double-layered wooden cabinet in the corner against the right wall. Next to the cabinet is a rice vat.
It's not very big and relatively simple, but it's very clean and things are arranged in an orderly manner, giving people a comfortable feeling as soon as they enter.
This actually made him a little surprised. It seems that the judgment of a family cannot be compared with Zhao Youchang's family.
He put the rice away, then walked to Liu Guihua and Chen Xiaoni with a bagful of things, took out a half-pound bag of hard candies from his pocket, and handed it to Chen Xiaoni, "This is candy for Xiaoni."
Chen Xiaoni looked at him confusedly and did not answer.
Liu Guihua said: "Xiao Ni, just take what dad gave you."
Chen Xiaoni glanced at her, then took the candy bag and held it in her arms, whispering: "Thank you, Dad."
Yu Jinggui was stunned for a moment, and Liu Guihua was also stunned for a moment. They didn't expect that Chen Xiaoni would know how to thank her without having to teach her.
"Xiao Ni is so good!" Yu Jinggui liked Chen Xiaoni more and more, smiled and stroked her little head, then handed the net bag to Liu Guihua and said.
"This is for Comrade Chen Zhaozhao."
Liu Guihua took it with some fear, "Thank you, Comrade Yu, it's really costing you a lot."
There are two cans in the net pocket.
Candies and canned goods are absolute luxuries in rural areas of this era.
"It's okay." Yu Jinggui smiled, then looked at Chen Xiaoni, "Xiaoni, can daddy peel some candy for you?"
Chen Xiaoni smiled and nodded.
Liu Guihua looked relieved and sighed, "Xiao Ni, let's go out to play with daddy."
Chen Xiaoni was reluctant to leave Liu Guihua, but she also wanted to play with her father, so she hesitated.
"It's okay, go ahead and play in the main room with dad, while grandma is cooking in the kitchen."
Chen Xiaoni nodded, and Yu Jinggui hugged her and left the kitchen.
Before leaving, Yu Jinggui asked Liu Guihua to keep chickens and ducks for Chen Zhaozhao to replenish his body, and he also bought the bones for Chen Zhaozhao to replenish his body.
The others had already put their things away and went out to help Chen Dawang and the others chop wood in the woodshed.
After Yu Jinggui took Chen Xiaoni away, only Liu Guihua and her daughter were left in the kitchen. They all felt like they were dreaming when they looked at the pile of things.
At this time, in the kitchen, except for the live chickens and ducks, everything else was placed on the kitchen table, full of them.
They had never seen so many things. Even during the Chinese New Year, they only had half a catty of meat. Originally, their family could have more, but Jiang Chunxiu took it all away.
"Okay, stop looking at it and start cooking quickly." Liu Guihua urged, "Simei, please send this to Zhaozhao first."
"Hey~" Chen Simei responded, carrying the can and leaving the kitchen.
Entering the main room, Chen Simei looked at Yu Jinggui playing with Chen Xiaoni, looked at the scene of the two getting along harmoniously, and thought of how Chen Zhaozhao had been obsessed with Jing Gui before.
She rolled her eyes and walked up to Yu Jinggui, handed the things to him and said, "Comrade Yu, you bought this for Zhaozhao, give it to her."
Yu Jinggui didn't answer and hesitated, "Isn't this bad?" He, a grown man, entered the girl's room. It would be bad to spread the news.
"What does it have to do with it in broad daylight? Besides, you two have children." Chen Simei said nonchalantly, "And she is a patient now. You are just visiting the patient."
Yu Jinggui felt that it was still not possible. If Chen Zhaozhao agreed to marry him, it would be alright. The problem was that now that Chen Zhaozhao was unwilling to marry, he had to consider her reputation.
Chen Simei knew his concerns and sighed helplessly in her heart, "Otherwise, let's do this. I will go together, and so will Xiaoni."
"Go." Xiaoni looked at Yu Jinggui with bright eyes.
Perhaps it's the nature of father and daughter, but they became very familiar with each other after just getting along for a while.
"Okay." Yu Jinggui responded with a smile.
Chen Simei looked at them, smiled, said hello, and walked towards Chen Zhaozhao's room.
