In the early morning of the next day, Tian Jing was woken up by Li Zhengguo while she was sleeping soundly.
She rolled in the bed for a long time without crawling out. It was too difficult. She had been missing sleep for several years and she would not be able to make up for it for a while.
But it doesn't matter, just buy what you need to buy, and she will sleep this winter, treating herself as an animal that needs to hibernate.
Seeing the little girl rolling on the kang, struggling against the warmth of the quilt, Li Zhengguo really wanted to put her in his arms, kiss her, hug her and lift her up high.
He tried his best to suppress his hands and threatened the little girl on the kang, "If we don't leave, it will be noon when we reach the county seat, and the black market will be closed."
Oops, Tian Jing sat up and said, "Bring me some cold water to wash my face."
Li Zhengguo was reluctant to part with it, "I have prepared warm face wash for you. Take my thin quilt with you so you can sleep on the way."
"How to sleep?"
"I'll carry you with a cloth strap."
Is it like packing a doll and carrying it on your back? She had seen women in the village tie their dolls behind their backs with cloth straps.
She didn't want it, "No, I would rather sleep in a basket than be packed with you."
"While you are sleeping in the basket, my wheelbarrow has to be pushed smoothly. I am hunched over and tired, which slows me down."
"Then let's walk together." Tian Jing did not compromise, squatting at the door of the hall with a toothbrush, brushing her teeth under the light of the lantern.
After returning to the room and washing his face, Li Zhengguo stuffed him with a handful of bills and thirty yuan, "I only have this money for the time being. Those bills were exchanged with others, so put them together with your money."
When Tian Jing took it, he took out the roll of clothes wrapped with ginseng, opened it and looked at it. When he saw that it was no different from the newly dug one, he felt relieved and rolled it up again.
Tian Jing blinked Kazilan's big eyes. She nourished the wood-type power twice a day through the roll of clothes. Can it still be broken?
When we set out, it was dark outside. Without the light of a lantern, we would have been unable to find the road.
After leaving the village and walking about two or three miles, they arrived at the Ku River. Li Zhengguo was worried about her and wanted to carry her across the river, so Tian Jing listened to him.
Lying on his back, under the light of the lantern, she saw large round stones at his feet. No wonder she didn't trust her to walk alone.
A stone like this could really slip and fall into the river if you're not careful. Of course, that's an ordinary person, not a person with super powers like her.
Putting her down on the other side of the river, Li Zhengguo took the lantern and returned to the other side to push the wheelbarrow.
Under Tian Jing's worried eyes, after narrowly pushing it over, she went back to carry the basket, two baskets and a basket on her back.
Tian Jing was quite interested when she saw the bamboo basket, "Is this also borrowed?"
"Yes." Li Zhengguo saw that she liked her and said, "When I come back, I will make you a smaller one."
"Okay, I'll make a bigger one for you to carry on your back, and then go up the mountain to get something ready to cover it up."
"Okay." Li Zhengguo smiled gently at her and tied the basket with a rope, "Are you still sleeping?"
"I won't sleep anymore," Tian Jing waved her hand with the lantern, "Let's go."
After passing the Wang'er production team, it was dawn. Li Zhengguo took the lantern and blew it out, hung it on the handlebar, and pushed Tian Jing to sit in front of the quilt-covered carriage. He took out two eggs from his arms and said, "You
Eat, it’s still warm.”
Holding a hot egg in his hand, he looked at Li Zhengguo, who was only wearing a military green jacket. Couldn't this egg be stuffed into his arms when it was just boiled?
Li Zhengguo understood Tian Jing's thoughts, and took out a new towel from his arms, "I'm not stupid."
Not stupid? "Where's your breakfast?"
"I'm not hungry."
Tian Jing stopped talking, knocked the egg on the handle of the car, carefully peeled the shell, and waved to Li Zhengguo who was standing aside, "I want a drink of water."
"Okay." Li Zhengguo came over, took out a bamboo tube from his arms, bent down and handed it to Tian Jing.
Tian Jing grabbed him by the collar and stuffed the peeled eggs in his mouth into his mouth, "Eat, one for each of us."
Li Zhengguo was stunned for a moment, then he opened his mouth and bit the egg. His eyes were already smiling. Was Tiantian feeling sorry for him?
Tian Jing lowered her head and continued to peel another one, then slowly started eating it.
After eating, he rested for a while and continued on his way. There was an S-shaped five-mile curve in front of him. After climbing the five-mile curve, Li Zhengguo asked Tian Jing if he could persist?
"Yes." Tian Jing waved her hand, "Keep going."
After about ten miles, they passed the Plow and Shifting Production Team, and after another ten miles they arrived at the Zhangshan Production Team. The two looked at each other and passed quickly in tacit understanding.
Although there are still several miles from the village to the roadside, according to the height of the sun, it should be around nine o'clock. If you meet an acquaintance and they go to Tian's house to regret their marriage, it will be difficult to bargain.
Two miles ahead was the brigade yard. The two of them also speeded through, and only slowed down after passing the brigade.
Li Zhengguo was worried about whether Tian Jing was tired again. Tian Jing put her head in front of him and said, "Look, I'm not sweating, which means I'm not tired."
A person whose back is already wet with sweat always asks her, a person with powers who is not sweating, if she is tired.
The little face in front of him was indeed refreshed. Li Zhengguo smiled reassuringly, "As long as you're not tired."
Staring at his dimples, Tian Jing asked a silly question, "Do you know how to drink?"
After asking, she even laughed.
Li Zhengguo looked at her smile, and the smile on his face deepened, "I'm not very good at drinking."
In fact, he is a good drinker and has a good capacity for drinking, but Tiantian doesn't like the smell of alcohol on drinkers, so he must not be able to drink.
"Oh, I thought having dimples means you know how to drink."
Tian Jing couldn't help but laugh again. This kind of question was something she heard when she was a child. It was later proven to be unfounded. Because it was an innocuous question, not many people went out of their way to correct it. They would often treat it as a joke with friends with dimples.
"There is no basis for it. The amount of alcohol you drink is related to your physical constitution."
"Yes." Tian Jing nodded and did not continue talking. They still had a few miles to go to the commune and another twenty miles to the county seat. They had to save energy.
At about eleven o'clock, the two people entered the county town. Li Zhengguo and Tian Jing knocked on the door of a courtyard, and the sound of footsteps could be heard in the courtyard.
"Who is it?" The voice was a little old.
"I, Zhengguo." Li Zhengguo answered.
The door opened quickly, revealing an old man. He looked at Li Zhengguo and then at Tian Jing next to Li Zhengguo, "What is this?"
"This is my wife Tian Jing, Tian Jing, and this is Uncle Song." Li Zhengguo briefly introduced the two of them.
"Uncle Song."
"Okay." Uncle Song answered Tian Jing with a smile, and then looked at Li Zhengguo, "Is your kid finally willing to take a wife? Come in quickly." Uncle Song opened the courtyard door.
Li Zhengguo pushed the wheelbarrow into the yard and said, "Uncle Song, please lend me a carrying basket."
"Take whatever you want." Uncle Song pointed to several baskets in the corner of the yard.
Li Zhengguo handed the bamboo basket to Tian Jing and picked up a basket from the corner, "Uncle Song, let's go shopping first. We will eat out at noon."
"good."
When Li Zhengguo and Tian Jing left the courtyard, Uncle Song hurriedly closed the courtyard door.
