When it was time to eat, there was no shadow of Dajun and Naughty Er, which invisibly made Aunt Liu have questions, and she asked Peach Blossom: "What are these two boys doing without eating?" ”

Peach Blossom and Lijuan looked at each other and said, "Mother, they have something to do when they go out, don't wait for them, let's eat." ”

Even though Peach Blossom said it very easily and calmly, it was still difficult to escape Aunt Liu's eyes. Aunt Liu just hindered the atmosphere at this time, and it was not easy to ask questions, so she really suppressed it and tacitly took care of Sun Lijuan's parents and Xiaobao to eat with vegetables, and laughed with everyone.

But when the meal was almost finished, she asked again: "Peach Blossom, what are they doing?" Why don't you come back for dinner? ”

She saw that Peach Blossom and Lijuan only cared about taking care of the old and young on the kang, and the two of them were busy for a long time and didn't eat more. It was Sun Lijuan's words that made her even more suspicious, and without waiting for Peach Blossom to answer, Lijuan opened the topic and said to her parents: "Dad, Mom, you hurry up and urge Xiaobao to finish eating, don't we still have to pull melon seedlings in the second half of the night?" ”

Sun Laocun was stunned, and suddenly realized his daughter's words, and knew that there must be something wrong with his daughter, so he stumbled and replied, "Oh, yes...... yes, I forgot about it. ”

Liu Qiaoxian is of course a very shrewd person, how can Peach Blossom and Lijuan's story be hidden from her? She knew that something was wrong, so she said to Peach Blossom: "Peach Blossom, let me ask you, there are no outsiders here, you tell the truth, what are the army and naughty children doing?" What's the matter with them? ”

Peach Blossom saw that the old people and Xiaobao had all finished eating, anyway, the father-in-law and mother-in-law had to know sooner or later, so it was better to tell her as soon as possible, so that she could also go and see it as soon as possible, so as not to keep thinking about it in her heart, so she said to Aunt Liu: "The army went to the village clinic just now, it may be Tao...... Brother Qi'er was touched by a carriage, and he was afraid that you would not eat in a hurry, so he didn't dare to tell you. ”

Liu Qiaoxian was surprised when she heard this, she frowned and said, "Oh my God, you children, can you hide this?" Quick, pack up and go see how it goes? ”

While speaking, Liu Qiaoxian stretched out her legs and slipped out of the kang, Lijuan stepped forward to help her and persuaded: "Auntie, don't be too anxious, maybe it's not a big deal, or the army should have come back to say it." ”

Peach Blossom also persuaded while cleaning up the dinner table: "But isn't it, if you meet a bad one, the army should have come back with a letter." ”

Although Peach Blossom said so, she kept muttering in her heart: What did it look like? The army didn't come back to say anything, could it really be that it didn't hit lightly? Sent to the county hospital? The army also followed to the county seat? Didn't you have time to notify your family?

"Sister Lijuan, you help me clean up" Peach Blossom suddenly felt that the situation was not good when she thought of this, she took advantage of the situation and said to her mother-in-law: "Mother, don't worry, you accompany the uncle and the aunt at home, I have a good leg, go see what is going on first, and then come back to inform you." ”

"Okay, you don't care about the family affairs, you can go and take a look." Lijuan urged.

Before the mother-in-law could react, Peach Blossom was about to leave the gate.

At this time, the army pushed the door in, his face was full of exhaustion, he saw Peach Blossom and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Peach Blossom said: "Seeing that you don't come back, my mother is really not at ease, so let me see what your brother has become." ”

Aunt Liu and Lijuan's family had already arrived, and they heard Dajun explain to everyone: "It's not a big deal, it's just that he scratched some flesh, I accompanied him to send him home after the infusion, he stopped the frightened carriage and saved a lot of lives in the village, what is this called...... Well, yes, 'righteousness and courage', the village party secretary said that good people and good deeds must be commended, but the cadres of the village and the production team went to his house, as if they were going to comfort him. ”

"Don't be verbose, let's take a look." Aunt Liu said to the peach blossoms: "Let's go to the head, let the army eat at home, accompany your aunt and them, let's go for a walk......

Peach Blossom glanced at Lijuan and said, "Sister Lijuan, help the army serve some rice." ”

Lijuan nodded, pursed her lips and smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I promise to feed him." Then, Lijuan said to her parents, "You take Xiaobao home." ”

Xiaobao didn't follow, and begged to follow his mother in vain, but grandma and grandpa coaxed him away.

As soon as Aunt Liu and Peach Blossom entered Liu Haitao's door, they heard the voices of the people in the house. Sure enough, as the army said, the room was full of cadres from the village and the production team, and Chang Shouli, the secretary of the branch, was talking about the current domestic situation and the future direction of the country's development.

Chang Danian, the captain of the production team, sat on the bench without saying a word, just smoking a stuffy cigarette, he saw Aunt Liu enter the house, so he hurriedly got up to greet him: "Yo, the old sister-in-law is here?" Sit down, sit down. ”

"Auntie, how do you know? Have you had lunch? Liu Haitao was half-lying on the kang, leaning his back on the quilt and pillow.

Chang Shouli also greeted with a hippie smile and said, "Aunt Liu came to see the naughty child?" This kid is a big hero in our village, if he hadn't tried his best to stop the startled horse, maybe how many more people would have been hurt? Commendable! Come on, come on, Aunt Liu, sit down. ”

The secretary took the lead in giving up his seat, and other cadres also responded. Aunt Liu saw that although Liu Haitao's left leg and hands were wrapped with bandages, and his face was still covered with adhesive tape, the injury was not very serious from his complexion, so she was relieved. She looked at the room full of people and smiled politely and said, "Sit down, our village cadres have come to visit him, I thank you for being naughty." ”

"Whereever, we should be the ones who say thank you." Chang Shouli pointed to Liu Haitao lying on the kang and said: "I have long known that the naughty brother has been taken care of by your Aunt Liu since he was a child, of course, the whole village said so, if it weren't for Aunt Liu, would Liu Haitao have survived to this day?" Right? Hahaha......"

The other cadres responded in unison and said, "The secretary is right! ”

Chang Danian threw the cigarette butt at Aunt Liu and said: "Although the naughty child's injury did not hurt the muscles and bones, it was not a light injury, and he needed to recuperate and rest for a while. However, he can't move for the time being these days, he has to be taken care of by someone to eat, drink and Lazar, just now I was thinking, old sister-in-law, you have to come forward to take care of it, and the delayed work in the production team will be recorded for you according to eight points a day, I don't know if this arrangement is okay? ”

Liu Qiaoxian waved his hand and said: "Uncle Chang looked at what you said, it is right to take care of my nephew, what kind of work is not divided, I don't think so." Don't worry, give me the naughty child, and promise to call him okay soon. ”

"Then, I want to thank my sister-in-law."

"Thanks for what? You're busy with yours, naughty ones don't have to worry about you here. ”

Chang Shouli stood up and said to Liu Haitao and Aunt Liu: "That's it, the brigade also wants to say that we will hold a meeting of all cadres when we go back, and we will also make appropriate compensation for naughty children and Aunt Liu, our village is to encourage this kind of people who are brave and have done good deeds." ”

The village party secretary and cadres are gone, leaving Captain Chang Danian, and when he went out, he said to Aunt Liu: "Seeing that it is almost autumn, the team knows the situation at your home, if there is something to share, I will notify your family, and the team will also send someone to send you to your home, sister-in-law, naughty child and brother will ask you to take care of it." ”

Liu Qiaoxian listened to the captain's heart-warming words, and was moved to tears, she wiped her tears with the corner of her clothes and thanked her: "Uncle Chang, I really don't know how to thank you, Peach Blossom, pour water for your uncle." ”

"You're welcome sister-in-law, it's time for me to go." Chang Danian stepped out of the room, and he turned back and instructed, "Wait a while, remember to get some food for the naughty child." ”

After sending Captain Chang away, Liu Qiaoxian sighed: "Alas, God is really blind, how can our family fight against the livestock?" The old man's injuries had just been lightened, and he was naughty again...... Alas, there will be no more proper labor to do any work in the future. ”

"Auntie, don't worry, it's all skin bruises, as long as it's not inflamed, it will be fine in a few days, besides, didn't Uncle Chang promise us? The production team will help our ......"

"Silly boy, that's not what my aunt meant, I'm worried about whether there will be any more mistakes in our family in the future?"

Peach Blossom has been silent, she brushes the pot in the outhouse and prepares to cook for Liu Haitao to eat. Aunt Liu heard the sound of "bang, bang, bang", and looked into the outhouse to understand what Peach Blossom was going to do, she smiled and said: "Peach Blossom doesn't have to cook, no one has eaten too much of our meals at noon, it's enough to get some for the naughty child, if it's cold, it's hot." ”

"Yo, isn't it, look at my memory." Peach Blossom entered the house without raising her head to Liu Haitao and asked, "What do you want to eat?" ”

Liu Haitao grinned and said: "Anything, it's best to even bring soup and water, and eat comfortably." ”

Of course Liu Qiaoxian knew about the two of them, but she just pretended to be deaf and dumb, turned a blind eye, alas, wasn't it all about hugging her grandson? As long as you can leave a root for the Liu family and don't say anything, aren't there many examples of this kind of thing in our rural elders? She looked at Peach Blossom's face crimson, and knew that she was embarrassed in front of her old woman, so she said with a smile: "Peach Blossom works well, and it will depend on you to take care of the naughty child in the future." ”

Peach Blossom was reluctant to say: "Mother, Uncle Chang handed him over to you, why did you push me here?" ”

"What do you mean by pushing at you, kid? Are you helping your mother? ”

"I don't care, I'll go get some food." Peach Blossom turned and walked out of the house.

But the mother-in-law looked at the back of the peach blossom, and laughter came from the house......

Peach Blossom walked on the way home and kept thinking about her mother-in-law's words, since her mother-in-law knew that she and Naughty Er had ......, what did it mean that my mother-in-law asked me to take care of him later? She shook her head and subconsciously covered her face with her hands, her face hot and hot. Afraid of what? People say: One day husband and wife hundred days. What's more, maybe she will be pregnant with his child in the future!

Peach Blossom pondered things in her heart, and soon arrived home. But as soon as she pushed the door, she found that the door was closed tightly, and pushed it harder, only to hear a "bang" and finally opened, but she heard a whispering sound in the inner room, and when she opened the door curtain to see, the scene in front of her made her stunned.
