Jiang Xinyu was woken up several times by Dabao's cries. Chen Xiuyun and Jiang Zhenzhen shared a bed, and it was quite tiring to get up in the middle of the night to change the baby's diaper.
Chen Xiuyun has become accustomed to it these days, but after falling asleep again in the middle of the night, it is inevitable that she will wake up half an hour later than on previous Saturdays.
Chen Xiuyun got up in a hurry and went to Jiang Xinyu's bedside to explain: "You went to work in the fields today. If anyone asks, you will say that the child is not nutritious enough. I will go to the county supply and marketing cooperative to see if there is anyone selling milk powder."
Milk powder tickets are a scarce commodity these days. Even more scarce than milk powder tickets is milk powder, which is so in demand that it is sold out as soon as it appears in a department store. Of course, people in the village will never spend money to buy milk powder.
, no one is willing to part with it.
Of course Chen Xiuyun was lying. Even if the villagers thought she really had milk powder tickets, they would automatically assume that they were given by her mother-in-law.
Jiang Xinyu was tortured very much that night, so she turned over after responding.
At this time, Chen Yigang rode his bicycle past the yard of Jiang Xinyu's house. Zhang Tiezhu, who had been bitten by mosquitoes all night, heard the movement of the bicycle and sat up on the slope in a daze.
Chen Yi stopped his bicycle, narrowed his eyes and asked loudly: "Who is there?"
Zhang Tiezhu didn't dare to move. He was a little angry. Why wasn't it Chen Xiuyun? Could it be that he had slept so soundly before that he didn't hear Chen Xiuyun when he came over?
Seeing Chen Yi slowly approaching, Zhang Tiezhu simply stood up, cleared his phlegm-filled throat, spit on the ground and said, "It's me, you Uncle Zhang, it's not yet dawn, where are you going?"
Zhang Tiezhu came closer and saw clearly through the moonlight that there was nothing in Chen Yi's car. What else could he do besides doing bad things if he went out so early?
Chen Yi got on his bicycle and did not answer his question. Instead, he asked calmly: "You have a home and you don't want to go back. What do you want to do if you fall asleep at this intersection?"
Chen Yi knew that Chen Xiuyun would go to the county to do business during the team's elementary school holidays. Now it was difficult for him not to suspect that Zhang Tiezhu's sleeping on the road at the entrance of the village had something to do with it.
If you are caught speculating, you will have to squat on the fence.
Zhang Tiezhu hummed: "I can be wherever I want to be, where are you going?"
Chen Yi replied succinctly: "Go to the city and check out the radio."
After answering, he added: "You slept here most of the night. When I come back today, I will respond to the captain."
Zhang Tiezhu was stunned, "What's your reaction? What did I do to me?"
"This is an intersection, and female comrades from the brigade will pass by at any time. If you squat here, it will be difficult for people not to suspect that you have ulterior motives!"
Zhang Tiezhu pointed his finger at him, and was speechless for a long time. Finally, he said angrily, "I saw a fucking rabbit passing by here yesterday, can't I just guard the rabbit here?"
Zhang Tiezhu is not doing his job properly and is involved with Yuan Chunhua, but he and Yuan Chunhua are in love, and it doesn't bother anyone. Everyone in the brigade turns a blind eye and ignores them, but if someone is
It's serious to accuse someone of being a hooligan. How can you call this nonsense?
Chen Yi watched the candles in Jiang Xinyu's house light up and then go out soon after, and wondered if Chen Xiuyun had heard what was going on here. He deliberately asked Zhang Tiezhu: "Uncle, did you and Yuan Chunhua go to the woods again yesterday?
"
Zhang Tiezhu was stunned and denied it, "Chunhua and I are innocent, you kid, don't talk nonsense."
Although many people in the brigade knew about his affair with Yuan Chunhua, he would not admit it to anyone who asked.
But what this kid is talking about is yesterday. He didn't go to Yuan Chunhua yesterday. Now when he goes to see Yuan Chunhua, he waits until it gets dark and goes directly to her house in the middle of the night. When did he go to the woods?
Chen Yi looked confused and said casually: "That's really strange. Who else could it be if it weren't you? I think that figure from the back looks like you."
Zhang Tiezhu's fists were already clenched.
Yuan Chunhua actually went with others behind her back? How could she treat him like this? He had given her some food and money to subsidize her, so how dare this bitch go behind his back to find someone else?
"You should go quickly, it will take a long time to get to the city."
Zhang Tiezhu drove the people away and walked into the village himself. Chen Yi was going to slap him. Of course he couldn't continue to sit here and wait. He had to go to the toilet of Chen Xiuyun's house and guard it.
Chen Yi walked towards the road, looked back several times, and thought there would be no problem before riding away.
Chen Xiuyun was already preparing to leave with pig soap and mung bean cake. When she left the main house and entered the courtyard, she heard voices not far away.
It was too quiet at night, and even though the voices reached the courtyard and she couldn't hear the specific words, they at least let her know that there was someone at the intersection.
Chen Xiuyun sat on the small bench in the shed and listened quietly. After a while, the sound of the two talking disappeared, and there was a slight sound of footsteps at the door of her courtyard. Xiao Hei came out from under the shed and ran to the door of the courtyard, barking fiercely.
called.
Zhang Tiezhu, who was outside, cursed in his heart, "I'll kill you sooner or later," and then he hurried away.
Chen Xiuyun didn't know what was going on outside, but she knew that it was not a good time to go out today, so she simply carried her things in and put them away.
While Jiang Xinyu was drifting off to sleep, the team leader whistled and started calling the members to work.
In summer, you have to take advantage of the cool weather in the morning to go work quickly, then go home for dinner at seven or eight o'clock, then go to the fields to continue working until the sun reaches the top of your head before going back to rest and eat.
Jiang Xinyu felt that life was too difficult. She didn't sleep at night and had to get up early to sweat in the fields.
She got up in confusion, and was stunned when she saw Comrade Chen Xiuyun. Could it be that what her mother told her before was that she was dreaming?
"Mom, why didn't you go to the county?"
Chen Xiuyun took out Jiang Xinyu's oldest and most patched clothes and gave them to her, "Someone was talking outside before, so I didn't go. Quickly change clothes and go to work."
Jiang Zhenzhen patted Dabao on the bed in the room, "Mom, what should I do for you?"
Chen Xiuyun said: "Bake some mung bean porridge. There are two eggplants in the field that are quite big. You can pick them back and steam them for cold salad. Then heat up the steamed buns."
After explaining, Chen Xiuyun took Jiang Xinyu to the fields.
It was still early in the morning, and the wheat straw was covered with dew. It didn't take long for Jiang Xinyu's patched trousers to become half wet.
God, letting her work would really kill her. Looking at Su Qingqing, who was not taking a breath a hundred meters away, as if she had been given a shot of blood, she fell to the ground in admiration.
Sweat flowed into her eyes along her forehead, and the coarse clothes on her back were soaked through. Her old waist could not straighten up. It was not until she got home for dinner that Jiang Xinyu came back to life again.
After going to work in the afternoon, Jiang Zhenzhen took her child to the fields and gave him cold boiled water from the well. When the sun filled the sky, Chen Yi finally came back with colorful auspicious clouds.
