Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 250: He has a bad gastrointestinal condition and cannot eat meat.

Wang Qiuju and Wang Baoshan followed Wang Baoshan to a thatched house. The layout was the same as that of Xiaomai's house.

When I came to the door, the door of the main room was wide open.

"Li Hong!"

Wang Baoshan shouted inside.

Seeing no one responded, he said to Wang Qiuju, "She should be cooking."

After finishing speaking, I will go out.

He must have heard some noise, as there were sounds of walking and shouting outside.

"which one?"

After a while, I saw an old lady walking in from outside carrying a rice bowl.

The other party was wearing a patched cotton jacket.

Most of his short hair is now white, and his face is also covered in wrinkles.

"Sanda, why are you here? Do you have anything to do with me? These two are..."

Zhao Lihong looked at Wang Baoshan and said hello with a smile. When she saw Wang Qiuju, she hesitated.

He quickly put the rice bowl on the table.

Looking at the two of them curiously.

"Sister-in-law! You are getting old too!"

Wang Qiuju sighed in her heart when she looked at the old woman in front of her who had turned mostly white.

The other party is actually in his early forties.

However, rural people who are exposed to wind and sun all year round tend to look older.

Just like herself, a 35-year-old person, she is also like an old lady. She has only been in the city for the past six months, which is a little better.

"Ouch! This is... Qiu Ju? Are you Qiu Ju?"

When Zhao Lihong heard this title, she looked at it carefully and understood immediately.

Wang Qiuju nodded slightly when she saw this: "Yes, I am Qiu Ju."

……

Good people's commune~
Good people's communes,
……

While I was thinking, the speakers outside changed the music.

Wang Baoshan turned his head and looked around and said, "It's time to finish work. Let's chat. I'll go back first. Qiu Ju, come to my house for dinner tonight."

After saying that, without waiting for Wang Qiuju's consent, he left directly.

Wang Qiuju saw that her sister-in-law did not stop her, and finally did not open her mouth to stop Wang Baoshan.

After all, they still have to eat when they come here.

"Hey, Qiu Ju, sit down quickly. Your eldest nephew will be back soon, and your eldest grandson and the others will be back soon."

Wang Qiuju was about to sit down when she saw this.

But when he saw the gruel in the pot, he frowned.

Instead of sitting down, he asked directly: "Sister-in-law, the wheat rations are here with you. When you eat porridge, you give her thin soup?"

The porridge in the rice bowl, although the contents can be counted.

But the rice bowl that Mai was holding was almost clear soup and watery.

Except for a few wild vegetable leaves, it's almost all water.

The little warmth they had just met suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Zhao Lihong also sighed: "You don't know the situation in the village now. There is no food now. The captain went to the city to buy this food. Those who don't work can only eat like this. It's not that I don't give her food, the family We have to focus on the labor force, right?”

Hearing this, Wang Qiuju took a deep breath.

I also understand in my heart.

In the past, we were always busy working at home, and our two daughters also had the least to eat.

The dissatisfaction in my heart just now dissipated a little.

Zhao Lihong looked at Yang Xiaole next to her and asked with a smile: "Is this from your family? Which number is it?"

When Wang Qiuju saw this, she turned around and said, "Oh, this is the third child in our family, Xiao Le, called aunt."

When Yang Xiaole saw this, he looked at it and called out from behind.

"Mom, is the food ready? I'm starving to death."

While thinking, a man's voice came from outside.

Zhao Lihong turned around and saw a young man in his 20s, followed by a woman in her 20s, and two little carrot heads behind her.

Then he smiled at Wang Qiuju and said, "Qiuju, that's the eldest nephew, and his wife has two children."

Wang Qiuju nodded and saw a few people coming over, feeling excited in her heart.

"Big pillar! Big nephew!"

Wang Tiezhu had already seen the two people, and when he came closer, he looked at them hesitantly.

After thinking for a while, he reacted when he heard the title just now, with a hint of joy on his face: "Auntie? Are you auntie?"

"Hey, I'm your aunt! My aunt took care of you when you were a child!"

Wang Qiuju also held his hand excitedly.

Wang Tiezhu said with a smile: "Auntie, I was only six or seven years old when you left. I have some impressions, but I can't remember clearly. When did you come?"

"Just arrived. You went to the second uncle's house just now."

Hearing this, Wang Tiezhu nodded and said to Zhao Lihong: "Mom, add some corn and cook some rice!"

In his opinion, only his own family here is related to his aunt, and the others are not within the third generation.

Definitely eating at home.

Zhao Lihong said with a smile, "You don't have to worry. The captain said we would go to their house to eat in the evening. The food at the captain's house is much better than ours."

Wang Tiezhu heard the words, thought for a while, and nodded slightly: "Okay, aunt, you can eat at our house tomorrow! Hongmei, come here, this is aunt, my name is aunt."

The last words were said to the wife next to him.

The other party looked at Wang Qiuju and shouted softly: "Auntie."

Wang Qiuju smiled when she saw this: "Okay, okay,"

Then he introduced: "This is the third eldest child in our family, Xiao Le, called eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law."

Yang Xiaole saw this and shouted there.

We got to know each other, and they sat there chatting.

"Grandma, I'm hungry!"

While thinking, the two little guys muttered that they were hungry.

There are two younger ones, a little boy about six years old, and a little girl about four years old, both of whom are little carrot heads.

Seeing this, Wang Qiuju hurriedly urged: "Okay, you guys eat first, we will go to the captain's house to eat later."

Zhao Lihong looked at her wailing grandson and felt a little distressed, so she went to serve some food to everyone.

Yang Xiaole took a look.

It contains powder ground from corn cobs and some unknown wild vegetables.

Wang Tiezhu had the thickest bowl, followed by his wife Hongmei, his mother Zhao Lihong, and lastly his two children.

Wang Qiuju also saw it.

It's not a taste in my heart.

When it comes to thickness, wheat is indeed a clear soup with little water.

But they also ate porridge cooked on corn cobs.

There are no corn kernels in it.

The whole environment is not very good.

Yang Xiaole watched from the side and understood the confusion in my mother's heart.

I am angry and distressed.

It is estimated that this fire will not be ignited.

Wang Tiezhu, his wife, and Zhao Lihong had the rice ready and were not in a hurry to eat it. "Auntie, you guys have some to eat first, and then go to Third Daddy's place to eat more later. We'll cook some more."

After saying that, he pushed the two pieces of porridge over.

Wang Qiuju shook her head: "You have worked for a day, you can eat."

Then he asked him: "Tie Zhu, how is the village now?"

Wang Tiezhu shook his head: "No, the food is almost all gone now. In previous years, when the farming was busy, we could still eat some dry food. Now... we can only eat some thin food, and there is no food. Fortunately, we are here. In the mountains, you can find something to fill your stomach."

Wang Qiuju also noticed it.

These people are all a little bloated from walking all the way.

Even the wheat just now was a little swollen.

The eldest nephew and niece-in-law in front of them both had swollen eyelids. This was not because they were fat or beaten, but because they were hungry.

Several people were chatting there.

Yang Xiaole looked at the sky. He was bored staying here anyway, and said to Wang Qiuju, "Mom, I'll go to the consignment point to see if there's anything."

After hearing this, Wang Qiuju thought for a while, "Wait a minute, you don't know the road!"

"It's okay, I'm going to find Mai! Just let her take me there."

When Wang Qiuju heard this, she felt that it was okay: "Then you go and come back early."

Upon seeing this, Yang Xiaole stood up, said hello and left.

After leaving the room and coming outside, many people were walking back carrying things.

These people looked at him curiously.

He ignored these people and went directly to Mai's house.

"Wheat, open the door!"

When he came to the door, seeing that it was closed, he knocked lightly.

"crunch~"

After a while, the door was opened, revealing a small head, looking at him timidly.

Seeing it was him, Xiaomai breathed a sigh of relief and shouted softly: "Brother!"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole smiled: "Hey, why didn't I hear you call me brother just now! How old are you by the way?"

"11 years old!"

Xiaomai answered timidly.

Yang Xiaole nodded when he heard this and looked inside: "Have you eaten your food? After you have eaten, take me to the consignment store to see if there is anything I can buy? Is it far?"

"I've eaten. The consignment point is not far away, just three miles away!"

"Okay, can you take me for a walk?"

Hearing this, Xiaomai looked around the room: "But my aunt's things are in the room. What if they are lost?"

"It's okay! I can get it back if I lose it."

After hearing this, Xiaomai thought for a while, nodded, ran back, and covered the two of them with a quilt.

Then he returned to the main room.

After closing the door, the two walked towards the outside of the village.

As he walked on the road, Xiaomai kept looking at him curiously, but he didn't dare to speak.

Yang Xiaole also looked around: "Wheat, among the mountains nearby, which one is closest?"

Ever since he entered the mountainous area, he couldn't tell clearly. He was blocked by the surrounding trees and low hills and couldn't see clearly what was going on around him.

All I know is that there are mountains everywhere nearby.

"There are mountains around here!"

Mai asked blankly.

"Oh, I mean, where can I get wild boars and pheasants around here?"

If the things in the space are not suitable and can be taken out directly, some excuses are still needed.

Wheat thought for a while, pointed in one direction and said: "Over there, Hulukou, past the mountain there, there are deep mountains behind. There are wild boars over there, but no one dares to go. Now that the weather is warm, there are more wolves." "

Yang Xiaole glanced in the direction.

This is not an open area, nothing can be seen at all.

He nodded slightly and found a reason to go take a look later. If he couldn't do it today, he would go there tomorrow.

"By the way, how does your aunt treat you?"

While walking on the road, Yang Xiaole asked curiously.

This determines the future attitude towards this family.

Now that I'm here, I must help, but marrying my eldest brother is still too ridiculous.

When Xiaomai heard this, she pursed her lips and said nothing, walking with her head lowered.

After waiting for a while, she said: "My eldest brother and sister-in-law are very good to me! As long as he is at home, Erdan and I are the same when eating."

Yang Xiaole understood after listening.

It means that the aunt is not good to her, but Wang Tiezhu, the uncle's family, is very good to her.

No wonder today’s meal is about to let Xiaomai carry the rice bowl home to eat.

It is estimated that Wang Tiezhu comes home late every day because of the busy farming season.

At that moment, I already knew what to do.

There are two plans for the time being. It depends on what my mother decides. After all, she has the final say.

As long as it's not too outrageous.

After walking and chatting for more than ten minutes, the two of them arrived at the brigade's consignment point.

"Uncle Li!"

Yang Xiaole entered the consignment point and saw Li Changshun sorting out the things that had just been shipped back.

"Oh, Xiaole! Mai is here too!"

Seeing him, Li Changshun responded with a smile.

Yang Xiaole smiled and nodded: "Well, Uncle Li, let me see if there is anything to buy here! Wheat, look, is there anything to buy?"

Hearing this, Xiaomai looked at it and finally shook his head: "There is no one to buy! If you want tickets, we don't have tickets. If you don't want tickets, it's useless to buy them."

Yang Xiaole felt the same when he heard this.

He looked back at the counter.

There was nothing to eat, just some brown sugar, and he didn't have any sugar tickets here.

But Brown Sugar’s mother already brought some, so there’s no need to buy any more.

After thinking for a moment that he might not be able to leave tomorrow and would have to eat, he asked Li Changshun, "Uncle Li, I would like to ask if I can use the national food stamps and money to exchange for some rice or flour at the brigade?"

You may not be able to change it elsewhere.

But there must be someone on the captain's side, even in this most difficult time.

"This……"

Li Changshun hesitated.

National food stamps are a precious thing. You can take these to the commune and exchange them for grains, whether coarse or fine grains.

"How much do you want to change?"

Yang Xiaole thought for a moment and said, "Ten pounds of rice! I'll pay for it in addition."

Li Changshun hesitated and asked, "Are you in a hurry?"

"It's not urgent, just give it to me tomorrow!"

Hearing this, Li Changshun thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, give me the money and tickets, and I will send them to you tomorrow morning."

After hearing this, Yang Xiaole thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, thank you Uncle Li."

Then he took out two yuan and ten pounds of national food stamps.

The reason why there is no need to pay more is because you can use the national food stamps to buy cooking oil in other places.

National food stamps are very rare in the city.

As for the profits in the middle, he didn't care about it. Who would want to do something that is not beneficial?
After the agreement was made, Yang Xiaole was ready to leave. Originally, he was planning to see if there was anything he could buy!
He looked at the two bottles of white wine on the counter that were covered with a layer of dust.

foziling wine
As a Huizhou native, he knows this stuff.

This name may not be very famous now, let alone in the whole country, even in the whole province, but the name that was changed later is quite popular.

Welcoming guests with tribute wine.It is the predecessor of this wine.

The place of production is also in the commune next door, Huoshan.

"Uncle Li, do you need a ticket for this drink?"

Li Changshun looked at the only two bottles of liquor and shook his head: "This used to be free of charge. It was produced in the commune next door, so the price is quite expensive. 1 yuan and 2 bottles. Now you need a ticket."

It is indeed quite expensive.

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole looked at it and said with a smile: "Uncle Li, you should not have to pay for this when purchasing the goods in the past, right? This wine has not been here for a long time, right? Can you do it without a ticket?"

Hearing this, Li Changshun looked at the wine.

Then he turned around and smiled: "Zhao (ok), how many bottles do you want! I'll get them for you!"

Yang Xiaole's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Uncle Li, what do you mean, do you still have something here? And you don't need a ticket?"

"Don't worry about it. There are only four bottles at most. How many do you want?"

After hearing this, Yang Xiaole recalled that this place was [-] to [-] kilometers away from the commune, and there might be something in between that he didn't know about.

But he doesn't care about this.

Smiling, she took out the money and handed it to him: "Give it all to me! I just happened to come to the door and there was nothing to give."

Upon seeing this, Li Changshun took the money and left with a smile. After a while, he handed four bottles of liquor to him.

"It's really gone now!"

Yang Xiaole smiled and nodded, "Thanks, Uncle Li! Let's go first."

After saying that, he took his things and prepared to leave.

"Hey, brother, there is no kerosene at home."

Just as he was about to leave, Mai said something to him.

Seeing Yang Xiaole's strange look, she pursed her lips and said, "We don't usually light kerosene lamps at home. We ran out of them before the Chinese New Year. I didn't have any money, so I didn't buy them."

Yang Xiaole nodded upon hearing this.

My aunt probably took the money.

He turned to look at Li Changshun: "Uncle Li, give me some more kerosene. How much is their ration? Give it all to me."

Li Changshun nodded after hearing this.

He came to the counter and took out a registration book, and asked without raising his head: "It belongs to Wang Shuisheng's family, right? Your family still has a ration of one and a half taels, which is three months' supply. Do you want all of it?"

"I need them all! Uncle Li gave me a salt water bottle, but I didn't bring a bottle."

Yang Xiaole spoke before Xiaomai could speak.

"I'll go back and get it!"

Xiaomai will go back after hearing this.

"Forget it, don't go back. Uncle Li, if you have an empty bottle, give me one and let's calculate the money together."

Li Changshun nodded: "The ration for two and a half is 1 cents, and a salt water bottle is three cents for a total of 8 cents!"

Yang Xiaole nodded, took out the money and handed it to the other party.

Upon seeing this, Li Changshun found a salt water bottle, went to the oil drum next to it, pressed it a few times, and pulled out a third of the bottle from it.

He closed the lid, wiped it with the dirty towel next to him, and handed it over.

Seeing this, Xiaomai took it directly: "I'll take this dirty one!"

Yang Xiaole looked at it without saying anything and asked, "Is there anything else you want to buy?"

"Gone!"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole nodded, smiled at Li Changshun and said, "Uncle Li, let's go back first!"

"Okay, you go back first and I'll deliver it to you tomorrow."

Upon seeing this, Yang Xiaole took Mai and left.

Twenty minutes later, we returned to the village.

After opening the door, Xiaomai took out the "kerosene lamp" on the table and poured oil into it.

This is a small glass bottle with a round iron lid and a wick in the middle.

After rummaging around, he found half a box of matches, and said with a smile, "Now the family only needs one box of matches a month. Fortunately, this box has not been used up."

I picked up a match and tried to light it.

After a while the lights came on.

"All right!"

Xiaomai said happily: "This one won't go out. When you come back, I heard that you have electric lights in Kyoto! It's not very bright."

"It's okay! We used to live in a rural area and there was no electricity!"

Yang Xiaole comforted her and said with a smile: "Then you stay here and just eat the peach cake. I'll go find my mother and I'll be back in a while."

"Ok!"

Mai nodded obediently.

When Yang Xiaole saw this, he left immediately.

When I arrived at Wang Tiezhu's house, I was told that my mother had gone to the captain's house.

The other party took him there.

After arriving at the place, the house was very lively at this time.

They were all middle-aged and elderly people, surrounded by some older girls and younger wives.

Just listen to Wang Qiuju resisting there.

Seeing Yang Xiaole coming, I quickly pulled him over and introduced him.

This dad (meaning grandpa), that grandma, this dad (meaning uncle), that mother (meaning aunt), this brother, that sister.

Yang Xiaole was led to recognize a circle of relatives in confusion, and hurriedly ran to the side and hid.

He really doesn’t know anyone!
It was already dark outside.

In the end, captain Wang Baoshan sent these people away on the pretext that they were eating.

A group of people even came to the house to chat at night.

After they left, Wang Baoshan pulled the two of them into the main room.

It was already dark outside at this time, and a kerosene lamp was lit on the dining table in the main room.

"Come on, sit down! We don't have any food, so we'll make do with it!"

Wang Baoshan greeted with a smile.

There were still several people sitting around at this time.

An old lady, a middle-aged couple, two teenage boys and a seven or eight-year-old girl.

After introduction, these people were the captain's wife, son, daughter-in-law, two grandsons and a granddaughter.

There are three dishes in the middle of the table.

A plate of pickled rabbit meat, a total of four or five pieces, a bowl of sauce, and a pot of vegetable soup.

There are 5 corn tortillas in the basket next to it.

Wang Baoshan said with a smile: "Eat, this pancake belongs to you, this is rabbit meat, you can try it."

After saying that, he handed the cakes in the basket to the two people.

And he himself was holding a bowl of porridge and a pancake to eat.

It means he is a piece of cake.

Wang Qiuju's mother and her son are two each.

As for the others, the situation is the same, but it's better than Wang Tiezhu's. At least there are still some corn dregs in it.

The three children were eating, staring at the pieces of meat in the bowl, but no one dared to ask for it.

Wang Qiuju felt a little embarrassed.

She is also from a rural area and knows the rules.

In the past, when guests came to my home, I was treated like this. The guests and the head of the house were well fed, but everyone else was poorly fed.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole took out the wine he bought and put it on the table: "Third daddy, take some of this wine and drink it!"

After saying that, he opened the wine and placed it on the table.

"Hey, you kid! This costs more than a dollar!"

Wang Baoshan was surprised. Before he asked for tickets, he could only drink one bottle of this wine a year. Unexpectedly, this little guy got a bottle.

Yang Xiaole smiled and said nothing.

I took a bite of the tortilla and ate some of the vegetable soup without oil.

As for the rabbit meat, he didn't touch it.

He could still smell the faint smell wafting in the room. It was because there was not enough salt in the rabbit when it was pickled, and the taste changed a bit.

Just like that little pork taste.

However, some old people especially like to eat this taste, just like his former dean, who loved to eat baby pork.

But he felt stinky.

When he smelled this smell, he thought of the old dean.

Wang Qiuju took one look and knew that her son was rich, so she smiled and said: "Sanda, you drink some. This is your grandson's filial piety. Brother, drink some too."

Wang Baoshan's son smiled and shook his head when he saw this: "You guys drink, I won't drink anymore."

But the action of licking his lips betrayed him.

When Wang Qiuju saw this, she didn't try to persuade him.

If the head of the family came over, he would definitely bring her to drink with him. Although she was a woman and she also drank, she decided not to go back to her hometown to visit relatives this time.

Wang Baoshan saw this and said with a smile: "Then I won't be polite!"

Find a wine glass, pour a glass or two, and carefully put away the rest.

Then he asked: "Qiu Ju, what about the wheat matter? Have you settled it?"

Wang Qiuju was silent for a moment after hearing this, "I just chatted with my sister-in-law for a while, and she said that there is no food in the house now. My brother decided on wheat when he was dying. As for what to do, it's up to me."

That means that the family has no food and cannot raise wheat.

I won't raise her in the future. Wheat is what you have to do when your brother dies. Those are his last words. If you don't agree, you'll be sorry for your brother.

Wang Baoshan was also confused for a while.

"Then what do you think?"

Wang Qiuju thought for a while and then said: "Third major, let me tell you the truth, the control over there is very strict now. I don't know if it is possible to register a household registration. It will be very troublesome for Xiaomai to go there. If she doesn't have a household registration, where can she go?" There is no ration and no food to eat. But if we don’t take it away..."

It's best if someone here can take over the wheat.

But it seems that even if the sister-in-law takes over the wheat, life will probably not be easy in the future.

Yang Xiaole thought about it for a while.

He still said, "Mom, you just asked for ten days of leave, and now it's already exceeded. I don't know what will happen when I get back!"

After saying that, he asked directly: "Actually, this matter is easy to decide. If Brother Tiezhu can accept her, we will send money and tickets in the future. If not, the second uncle and second aunt are gone, and she is not yet an adult. Is that right?" Anyone who can come to our house can take refuge."

He had inquired about it when applying for household registration before.

In the case of wheat, you can go directly to your home.

It just requires a lot of procedures.

"Real or fake? Can you register with us?"

Wang Qiuju was pleasantly surprised.

Seeing his mother's expression, Yang Xiaole shook his head. It seemed that his mother had already made a decision.

Then he nodded: "Well, I asked before when we applied for household registration. This situation is possible. This requires a certificate from here. It also needs to be stamped by the commune, county, and city, so that it can be done when we get there. formalities."

Wang Qiuju felt happy for a while after hearing this: "That's good, then it's decided. Mai Mai will come with us to prevent the two of them from quarreling."

Yang Xiaole thought about it for a moment and asked, "What's going on? I left and you guys had a quarrel?"

"I didn't, but when it came to the matter of wheat, Tie Zhu said to keep her, so that if he had something to eat, wheat would have something to eat. The two of us started to quarrel."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole nodded slightly.

Better take it away!
Although a stranger came to the house, I felt uncomfortable.

But this natural disaster will take three to four years. Wang Tiezhu can still protect her now, but in the most difficult years, no one can know.

If you don't take it away, something will happen to Mai in the future.

Starving to death, or something like that, my mother will probably feel guilty for the rest of her life.

This is also a question he has been thinking about.

Now it seems that it is better to take it away. Anyway, the family does not lack her food.

Wang Qiuju felt happy for a while: "Okay, we will go through the formalities tomorrow. We can't stay here for too long."

Yang Xiaole said, "Mom, have you discussed this matter with dad? What did he say?"

This is no small matter.

Wang Qiuju was also confused for a while after hearing this.

"Your father said that it's okay for us to get married. He asked me to come over and have a look. He didn't say anything about moving in!"

Yang Xiaole shook his head: "Mom, you make your own decision. Look at how old Xiaomai is. He is 11 years old. When he reaches the age where he can get married, that will happen after eighty or nine years. There are regulations in the city. When you reach that age How old is the eldest brother? According to the eldest brother's false report of two years old, he will be 28 by then. And close relatives are not allowed to marry in the city, so don't think about this matter. What I am thinking about now is whether to take the wheat away or keep it! Let’s go and go through the formalities tomorrow. If you stay, discuss with whom and what to do next. Don’t think about anything else.”

Wang Baoshan looked at Yang Xiaole in surprise when he heard this.

The other party's thinking is very clear.

He's very good at talking!

Wang Qiuju thought for a while and nodded: "Let me think about it!"

Seeing this, Wang Baoshan turned around with his chopsticks, picked up a piece of rabbit meat and handed it to Yang Xiaole: "Come on, Xiaole, eat the meat, think about it slowly, don't be in a hurry."

Gave another piece to Wang Qiuju.

Yang Xiaole looked at the meat and smiled awkwardly.

He gave the meat directly to the boy behind him.

He said directly: "Third Grandpa, let them eat!"

I'm sorry to say that the meat tastes bad.

Wang Baoshan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, "Hey, are there still people who don't eat meat?"

Wang Qiuju knew the reason when she smelled the smell of rabbit meat. She had eaten too much of this delicious little thing, and now she actually disliked the taste of the meat.

All he could do was laugh and say: "Sanda, please leave him alone. He has a bad gastrointestinal condition recently and cannot eat greasy food."

Yang Xiaole also rolled his eyes when he heard this!
How can you say that about your son?

The meal lasted for a long time, and several people were chatting there.

After dinner, it was completely dark.

Wang Baoshan's son sent the two people to Mai's house before returning.

"Auntie!"

When Mai saw the two men coming back, he quickly stood up.

Wang Qiuju looked at the dim light and said with a smile, "Wheat, is there any water? Let's wash our faces and go to bed. We'll talk about anything tomorrow."

"Yes, I just boiled some water!"

After wheat finished speaking, he went to the kitchen and brought some water in a wooden basin.

Seeing this, Wang Qiuju went over to find her own towel, and while washing it, she asked, "What are you using to cook this? Is there a pot at home?"

Xiaomai Yaoyaotou: "No, they are cooked in clay pots. When steel was made in the past, the iron pots were gone."

"Well, be good, Xiaomai!"

The two of them washed their faces and feet and went to bed.

An old wooden bed.

Fortunately, I still have quilts at home, otherwise sleeping at night would be a problem.

The quilt was very worn and had a layer of patches on it, but it was washed clean and had no smell.

Wang Qiuju slept in the middle, and the two of them slept in the middle.

After extinguishing the kerosene lamp, Wang Qiuju hugged Mai Mai and asked softly: "Mai Mai, tell auntie about your father and your mother!"

"Auntie, you want to ask."

……

The two lay there, chatting quietly.

Yang Xiaole went over there to sleep.
