Several times in dreams

Chapter 33 Rescue
Meng Wanyun hadn't been home for many days, since she was scolded by Meng Zhaoxuan last time, she accepted elder brother Meng Xianjun's suggestion, also for the sake of her father's health.

This time Fujii left the holy city, which made her feel a lot easier, so she bought some supplements and returned to Meng's house.

Meng Xianjun seemed to have expected that she would come back, so he asked Zhang Lingyu to take someone to clean up the room early on, and asked the kitchen to make Meng Wanyun's favorite peach cake, and put her favorite peach blossom in the vase in the room.

Even Meng Zhaoxuan, who has been stubborn for a long time, has already been done with the work. He Jinlian loves her daughter very much, so she can't help adding fuel to the scene. Meng Zhaoxuan can only sigh that the family is unlucky. After all, it is her own daughter.

It's been a long time since I stayed at home. After dinner, Meng Wanyun lay down on the starched rose red and gold brocade silk quilt, feeling warm and peaceful in her heart.

The rose-pink curtain has been carefully smoked with sandalwood, and is tied with tassels that she once made by herself. The top of the walnut bed is carved with rich and noble peonies, and the oily and delicate lines shine softly under the kerosene lamp.

When he came back this time, his father’s attitude improved obviously. During the meal, he took the initiative to give her her favorite bamboo shoot chicken. After the meal, his mother happily grabbed her hand and chatted about the trivial matters at home. .

My mother is really old and has lost the vigor of the past, and she is more affectionate with her father than before.

Meng Wanyun closed her eyes in the thick scent of sandalwood, she was still her former self in a trance, time never passed, the world was peaceful and quiet, this night, there was no nightmare.

After a long and comfortable sleep, Meng Wanyun got up refreshed and had breakfast with her brother and sister-in-law.

Qinghong woke up without eating two mouthfuls, Zhang Lingyu quickly put down the bowl and went to the inner room, Meng Wanyun smiled and said: "With a child, you can't even eat a whole meal in peace, sister-in-law is so virtuous!"

"Yeah, thanks to your sister-in-law taking care of the housework, I can be my husband with peace of mind. No, dad is not in good health, and the school is closed. Your second brother is too busy. I stay in the shop every day. Take care of business."

"Now I know how hard my father is. Back then, it was not easy to support such a big family like us!" Meng Xianjun shook his head and sighed.

"Is the business okay now? Brother, don't work too hard, just make some money. The world is chaotic and there are not enough people, so don't compare with before."

"Yeah, sister, you don't know, the world is hard, and now our shops basically don't make any money, so we can make some money by relying on the cloth shop and the pharmacy. Recently, the pharmacy is not as good as before."

"In the past, those mountain people dug some herbs, dried some centipede and cicada shells, and sent them to the medicine shop, and they received them cheaply and freshly. If you buy from a dealer, the cost will be much higher, alas!"

Meng Xianjun sighed and looked sad.

"Well, it's really not easy..." Meng Wanyun thought thoughtfully, "Brother, there must be a way to reach the mountain, there is always a way, don't worry too much!" After eating a few bites, she hurried back.

Back at the barracks, Meng Wanyun found out Liu Mingliang's confession, read it through, and felt that she was making a big fuss, so she ordered someone to take Liu Mingliang out of the detention center and out of the city.

In less than two hours, Yamamoto came to the interrogation department to interrogate Liu Mingliang, saying that according to reliable information, Liu Mingliang was a spy sent by the guerrillas to the Holy City.

Meng Wanyun was completely dumbfounded, so she had to admit that she had made a mistake in her judgment, thinking that he was just an ordinary mountain dweller, and that it would be better to drive him out of the city than to waste food in vain.

Yamamoto immediately sent people to chase after him, but Meng Wanyun was slapped by Yamamoto's slap, and she was locked up for self-reflection.

In the confinement room of less than three square meters, Meng Wanyun found that she was easily influenced by the outside world recently, and it was easy to make stupid judgments if her head was not calm.

But, brother, is this an unintentional coincidence?Or is it intentional?She lost her judgment for a moment.

Meng Xianjun in the pharmacy didn't know that the matter had been resolved, he was both anxious and excited, walking around the shop like an ant on a hot pot.

Even shopkeeper Shao joked that the young master left people dizzy.

Since he asked the organization for his ideas through Jiang Tongxin and received unanimous support from the superior organization, he was very excited and nervous. This was the first practical work he did for the anti-Japanese revolution, and he hoped to succeed.

Although Meng Wanyun was likely to be suspicious and turned against him, he felt that at least Meng Wanyun would not do anything to him for the sake of his mother and compatriots, not to mention that she had no evidence to say that he was a gangster.

When it was dark, news came that Comrade Liu Mingliang escaped from danger and had returned to Liujiayu.

Meng Xianjun drank two glasses of wine that night. Zhang Lingyu naturally thought that he had successfully repaired the relationship between father-in-law and sister-in-law, and was so happy. It might be because the shop made a lot of money. In short, Meng Xianjun was happy, and she was even more happy.

In June, Meng Wanying was pregnant, and Chen Zhizhou happily told everyone that he wanted to be a grandfather.

After all, Chen Wenjun is still young, and it is a happy thing for him to be a father, but Meng Wanying can't touch and make trouble now, which makes him feel very boring.

Meng Wanying's morning sickness is not so severe, which makes her look quite energetic. Apart from sewing some baby clothes every day, she embroiders bellybands for the unborn baby.

Her mother-in-law, Mrs. Jiang, even took care of the meals herself, and served them properly, which made Chen Wenlan very unhappy.

This morning, Meng Wanying ate breakfast, accompanied by Chunni, and her mother-in-law, Jiang Shi, led Wenyu for a walk in the backyard.

Although the month is still light, Jiang said that being more active will be good for future production, and Wanying doesn't want to be bored in the house all the time.

The wind in early summer was gentle and the sun was warm. Wanying felt a little homesick, but Wen Jun took his family to the countryside to supervise the harvest of summer grain, and he couldn’t come back for ten and a half months. Then I went back to my mother's house to see my mother.

Chunni picked some pea shoots, and later made clear water bean sprout noodles for Wanying. Wanying's appetite is not good when the weather is hot, and the clear and sweet bean shoots have always been her favorite, and she has been looking forward to it for a long time The pea sprouts grow longer, and the boiled noodles are the most refreshing.

The Jiang family is best at making snacks, so in the garden in the backyard, he personally planted peas, mung beans, red beans, lentils and other crops.

Although they can be bought outside, she is used to using what she grows, and the pea-yellow mooncakes, mung bean cakes, red bean buns, and honey beans that she makes are extraordinarily delicious.

Especially the pea-yellow mooncakes, which are crispy in layers, and the fillings are crystal clear. Let alone eating, you will have an appetite just looking at them.

Jiang held Wenyu in his arms and asked the girl to go back to the kitchen with the pea tip. Before leaving, she told Chunni to accompany the young mistress back to the room early. After a while, the sun will be poisonous, and be careful of spots on her face.

Chunni agreed, and walked slowly along the shade of the tree with Wanying's arm.

"Young lady, you said that there are so many Japanese people that we can leave the holy city. I don't even dare to go to the street to buy a headband. Last time I asked Er Huzi, who bought vegetables, to buy it for me, but the things he bought are also worthless." It's too ugly!" Chuni complained.

"Why do you dress up so nicely? Be careful that the Japanese will fall in love with you!"

Wanying intentionally scares Chunni, "Let's stay at home and don't go out. This little Japan is not human. Last time I went to Lijiazhuang to search and passed by our door, there were two passers-by on the side of the road. If there is nothing wrong, they will be killed. The head was cut off and hung on the side of the road for several days, have you forgotten?"

"I have not forgotten, I have scared the master enough to make the whole family's female family hide in the backyard with pot ashes on their faces every day. Thanks to the signboard of the Shengfu branch sent by our wife, this Japanese really respects Lu. Sheng Gong’s, hang up the sign and don’t come in and cause harm.”

"You don't understand this. This little Japan doesn't respect Lu Shenggong. It just wants to kill people and set fires while buying people's hearts. It is cruel and hypocritical. This is what my brother used to say."

Wanying said worriedly, "I don't know where the third brother of our family fought? Was he injured?"

"Well, young mistress, you don't know yet. The eldest lady has become a Japanese. I heard that she is very prestigious. Erhuzi met Liu's mother Liu from the Meng Mansion when she was shopping for vegetables. After listening to her, she also said that the third master is gone. There is no reason for this, the old man's illness was cured by the young lady and the Japanese..."

"I heard from Wen Jun that my eldest sister was not an ordinary person when she was young!" Wanying couldn't help shivering when she thought of the tearful eyes of the offerings on the table.
