Chapter 848 Running around
Forty-nine cities, courtyards.
The sky is refreshing and the sun is shining brightly.
At noon, the temperature even rose to 25 or 6 degrees Celsius, causing people in the yard to take off their sweaters and woolen pants and hide from the sun under the eaves.
Of course, not everyone is avoiding the sun.
Mrs. Jia Zhang stood in the yard with a smile on her face, looking at the pot lids, winnowing leaves and even a mat in front of her.
Since getting three bags of corn kernels back, everyone in the Jia family has become more comfortable.
This is the first time that their family has taken advantage of Yang Xiaotao, and there are still so many.
Thinking that with so much food, her family will be able to eat enough, the smile on Jia Zhang’s face became even bigger.
Of course, they did not take it out immediately, which would easily lead to suspicion. After all, the corn had been at the door of Yang Xiaotao's house for many days, and there was no guarantee that anyone would see it.
Therefore, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have agreed that this must be done slowly.
So, the Jia family had been paying attention to the movements in the courtyard for the past two days. Qin Huairu even paid careful attention to the words of the people around her and found that no one mentioned anything about corn, so she felt relieved.
Perhaps they all thought Yang Xiaotao had put it away.
So, the two of them felt that there was no problem today, and they didn’t want to wait any longer.
There is no way to wait. After all, there is not much food left at home.
Take the changed bags of corn kernels to the yard, wash them, and then dry them in the sun for grinding.
Sure enough, as soon as there was some action, someone came over to inquire about the news. Qin Huairu only said that it was placed under the bed at home before, forgetting that this was because the child hated to find it.
Although the people in the courtyard did not believe it and were even surprised, they did not think that the Jia family was the owner who could keep the food.
However, everyone was just curious but did not ask.
Don’t interfere with the Jia family’s affairs.
This is something that all the children in the courtyard know.
So in this courtyard, after losing the stick stem, Xiaodang could only lead the Sophora japonica to play.
"Huairu, are you ready to ask?"
Jia Zhang looked at the corn kernels drying at the door. After sorting, those corns that were moldy and hairy were picked out and thrown away. There are quite a few left.
It’s just that these corns are generally rotten, and I don’t know what kind Yang Xiaotao planted. Some of them are gray. If they are not washed, can the ground flour be eaten?
Even if you pick and choose and throw away a lot, if the rest is ground into powder, it will probably weigh about forty or fifty kilograms.
“Let’s ask around. There is a small mill at Chu Laosan’s house outside the alley. People usually grind grain, but we need to use it. Just give us half a catty of corn when the time comes.”
Qin Huairu He pulled the pot with his hand and poured the washed corn onto the pot lid with a smile on his face.
Obviously, these dozens of kilograms of corn are like a charcoal in the fire for them.
“Still collecting things? This bastard Chu Laosan, can’t we have some conscience when our family is in such difficulty?”
"No, I'll go talk to him. I don't believe that this person has no conscience and dares to ask for my things."
With that said, Jia Zhang stepped out of the Chuihua Gate in a blink of an eye and walked towards the alley. Go outside.
Qin Huairu didn't stop her when she saw it. Half a pound of corn was too much, and it was enough for their family to eat.
Thinking mentally, he picked up the corn in the bucket beside him.
Qin Huairu felt that the bucket of corn was a bit light. It looked full, but in his hand, it was not that heavy.
‘Maybe it’s because I’m full and have strength. '
Qin Huairu didn't think much about it. He just took a look at the corn. This one should be the latest one, because it is much fresher than the two bags of corn kernels. He didn't understand why Yang Xiaotao used such good corn. It would be a shame to throw it away and bury it.
‘Those who have money to burn buns. ’
He could only think of this reason, and then Qin Huairu did not wash it, but just poured the corn on the mat to dry.
“Huairu!”
A mother came over from the side, carrying a bag of eggs in her hand.
“Auntie!”
Qin Huairu’s eyes shone and she immediately stepped forward to speak.
“You guys have a lot of corn here.”
The aunt looked at the corn spread on the ground, a little surprised.
"Hey, isn't this what I took out from the bed for fun? If it weren't for them, we would have forgotten it."
"Really, that's great. With these grains, you guys The family can be better off."
Auntie didn't ask any further questions. It's up to you to get food these days. What you eat is yours. As long as it doesn't break the law, who cares?
"This is for Xiaodang and Huaihua. Let them replenish their bodies. They can't starve at such a young age."
"Auntie, I thank them on behalf of the two sisters. You.”
"Why are you so polite? It's in this courtyard~"
The eldest mother sighed with emotion. Qin Huairu also felt new feelings after hearing this, and the two of them held hands tightly together.
“By the way Huairu, when are you going to see Banggeng?”
Qin Huairu smiled and said, “Last time I went to see Banggeng, this guy said he recognized him in it. A brother who takes good care of him.”
“I don’t think he has enough to eat. He hasn’t been there for the past few days.”
Qin Huairu thought of Banggeng's appearance as a little adult, and felt deeply that her son had grown up.
After he comes out, he will be able to support the Jia family.
"Yes, it seems that Banggeng has become sensible too. After some calculations, Banggeng is already seven years old this year. Life goes by so fast."
Auntie She sighs with emotion, as if Banggeng has grown so big in the blink of an eye, and when Banggeng was just born, the courtyard was very lively.
At that time, there were deaf old ladies, Jia Dongxu, Liu Haizhong, Liu Guangqi, Shazhu and He Yuyu, some from the Xu family, some from the Chen family and her wife.
But in the blink of an eye, it was all gone.
Auntie felt that time passed too quickly, so fast that she lost all taste of life.
"Yes, Banggeng is seven years old, seven years."
Qin Huairu seemed to have his heartstrings plucked, recalling the past, with laughter, sadness, pain and suffering. sweet.
But if you really want to give yourself an evaluation.
regret!
A word comes from the bottom of my heart, and then there is unspeakable sadness.
Regret all kinds of things.
But if we talk about the biggest, maybe.
Qin Huairu looked at the corn kernels on the ground. What he regarded as a treasure, he discarded like worn-out shoes.
Maybe this is the gap.
"By the way, Huai Ru, next time you go and help me bring two clothes for Lao Yi. The weather is getting warm, so you can't wear thick clothes."
The aunt reacted and said: Qin Huairu said.
Qin Huairu nodded immediately after hearing this, "Okay, I will tell you in advance next time I go."
The aunt nodded, handed the egg to Qin Huairu, and then turned to go home.
Qin Huairu walked into the house with the eggs and asked Xiaodang to watch the locust flowers and not break them.
Then he thought for a while, pulled out a few pieces of unlined clothing from the kitchen, smelled them, threw them into a basin, and held them under the faucet.
Here, this faucet is prepared for her.
Noon, meal time.
Qin Huairu dried the clean clothes and was about to go back to the house when she saw Qin Jingru coming out of the moon gate in the distance, holding her belly with one hand and raising her face high.
Qin Huairu felt aggrieved when she saw Qin Jingru like this.
She is also pregnant and has a baby, so it doesn’t matter that she is not as good as Ran Qiuye. After all, Yang Xiaotao’s beast is too strong. He earns so much, so eating is nothing.
But she, Qin Jingru, is a country bumpkin, and it makes no sense for her to live such a life despite her fortunes.
This guy, with his appearance, must be going to a restaurant again.
snort!
Qin Huairu snorted coldly and returned to the house holding the basin.
Qin Jingru glanced at Qin Huairu who was leaving, her big eyes rolled up, and she was too lazy to respond.
But Qin Jingru frowned again when she saw the clothes hanging on the rope.
“You still want to do good things if you don’t change your evil intentions? Humph.”
He turned around and walked towards the Chuihua Gate, stroking his belly as he walked, "If Silly Zhu dares to give you money again, I won't let him touch it next time."
As the sun set, the remaining light fell on the truck, It left a long shadow behind him.
“Almost there!”
Yang Xiaotao stood in the carriage, holding on to the handrail in front, and Wang Huzi stood beside him.
The two of them held cigarettes in their hands and looked ahead, where there was a ditch.
"Yes, after here, there are still three miles."
This is where Yang Xiaotao entered last time.
The difference is that the person who picked him up last time and the person who said this to him are no longer here.
However, this time he is back.
Yang Xiaotao said to Wang Hao and others in the carriage, and soon there was the sound of movement in the carriage.
This truck ride is more tiring than the train ride.
Especially the bumpy road, which made them want to vomit.
This time is finally here, no more suffering.
The car drove for another three minutes, and a protective fence appeared in front of it, as well as two sentry towers made of stones, with people shouting from them.
Obviously they noticed the lights of the car, and then they saw the lights dimly turning on.
"We're here!"
Seeing someone standing at the gate of the farm and the car parked aside, Wang Huzi jumped out of the car first, followed by Yang Xiaotao.
“Chief!”
The leader is Ma Sanxing, the farm director whom Yang Xiaotao is familiar with, and following him is Mazi, the new owner of the farm after the death of Captain Mu.
Wang Huzi nodded, and Yang Xiaotao stepped forward.
"Director! Mazi!"
Yang Xiaotao stepped forward and they were also excited when they saw Yang Xiaotao.
Those who survived that attack were extremely excited to meet again.
"Teacher Xiao Yang, now that you are here, we will feel confident."
Ma Sanxing held Yang Xiaotao's hand and affirmed.
"Yes, we have been looking forward to your arrival every day."
"I'm sorry to have delayed everyone's time. Some things have been delayed and kept everyone waiting for a long time."
Yang Xiaotao was so excited that his words were confused, but his meaning was conveyed very clearly.
"No, no, no, we'll be fine later. As long as you come, Teacher Yang, we, we guys will have a good psychological foundation."
A voice came from behind Ma Sanxing. Only then did Yang Xiaotao see clearly that the group of people standing behind him turned out to be the college where he taught and guided last time.
They hurried forward to shake hands one by one, "When did you come?"
The dozen or so people were very excited. The leader smiled and showed a row of teeth, "We came two days ago when we were notified. Waiting for you to command us to go to the battlefield."
"Hahaha"
"Okay. Then we will win the battle and let the leader celebrate it."
" Hahaha”
Yang Xiaotao met everyone and introduced Hou Lijing and others to a few people.
Everyone respected him when he learned that this was a technical guide sent by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
"Okay, let's arrange accommodation first, we are going to have a big fight tomorrow."
Wang Huzi said at the side, the bumps along the way made the bones loose.
"Yes, yes, come in quickly. We have prepared a meal. Everyone will have a rest after eating."
Ma Sanxing stood aside.
Everyone entered the house. Wang Hushi and Yang Xiaotao sat down next to each other. Wang Hao, Hou Lijing and the driver Xiao Wu, a total of eight people filled the kang.
The old man on the farm placed a bowl of Erhe noodles steamed buns in the middle of the table, then placed a bowl of radish heads soaked in soy sauce aside, and then placed a bowl of water in front of each person.
This is a sumptuous dinner.
