Chapter 20: Just for peace of mind
When Xu Wanning came out of the team headquarters, except for the shadow of the tree, she didn't see Lin An's figure.
She wasn't disappointed, after all, she didn't expect anything from the beginning.
However, it was freezing on this day, and there was no one on the road to see it, only the sound of the north wind howling, and she was still a little worried in her heart.
I knew that I should have borrowed a flashlight from the brigade headquarters.
Just thinking about it, a non-dazzling bright light refracted her, Xu Wanning subconsciously blocked her eyes with her hand, and then a glass bottle filled with hot water was stuffed in her hand.
It is the kind of glass bottle used in the clinic to hang bottles.
The glass bottle is contained in a cloth bag, and the hand can be reached into it, and the palm of the hand can be wrapped in the back of the hand, and it can also prevent it from being burned by boiling water.
"Are you done?" was Lin An's mellow voice.
Xu Wanning replied vaguely, "I came out just now and didn't see you." ”
"I saw that the captain asked you to come into the office, I should have something to look for you, so I went back first. It's getting late, I'm afraid I won't know, and my mother and children are worried. ”
He patted the back seat of the bicycle: "Come on, I'll take you back, it's too cold." ”
It didn't take long for the two to go home.
When the children heard the movement in the yard, they both ran out and threw themselves into Xu Wanning's arms one after the other.
"Mom, you're finally back, I haven't seen you all day, I miss you. ”
"I miss you too. Xu Wanning squatted down, hugged the two children respectively, and said softly: "Let's go in first, be careful if the wind blows and gets sick." ”
On the floor of the hall, there are two porcelain basins, which are filled with hot water.
"Mom, Dad, my sister and I boiled some hot water, and you two can be more comfortable with scalding your feet. ”
"Da Chun'er is so good. Xu Wanning's big hand unceremoniously rubbed Da Chun's hairy hair.
The younger sister originally wanted to remind Xu Wanning of her merits, but after seeing her brother's messy hairstyle, she silently took two steps back.
"Is Grandma asleep?"
"Well, grandma said that her leg hurts, so she lay down on the kang early, and when my brother and I went in to see it just now, grandma was already asleep. ”
Xu Wanning frowned slightly.
Mother Lin's leg injury was not serious at first, but for the sake of her son's marriage, she was afraid of spending money, so she dragged it out seriously.
In addition, he has been working in the field, and he has not allowed the leg injury to have a recovery period, resulting in severe pain as soon as it is cold.
Even if Xu Wanning bought a plaster before, it can alleviate one or two, but in the end, it treats the symptoms but not the root cause.
"When the weather is warm, can you take a few days off in the team, and we will take my mother to the provincial capital to see the legs. ”
Lin An was a little surprised, obviously he didn't expect to hear such words from Xu Wanning's mouth.
His mother's leg disease has always been a pain in his heart, but almost all the allowances he saved in the past few years were used to get married, and his mother has always comforted him that it is not serious.
But he had been planning to take his mother to the doctor, for which he secretly saved up private money.
Unexpectedly, it was Xu Wanning, who disturbed the peace at home, and took the lead in proposing it.
Seeing Lin An in a daze, Xu Wanning thought that he was not good at asking for leave, so he said: "Actually, I don't have to ask you to go, the main provincial capital is far away, my mother's legs and feet are inconvenient, and I bring two children, I'm afraid that I won't be able to take care of it, and there will be something missing." ”
In this era, abductions are extremely rampant, and without surveillance, the children are lost, and it is estimated that it is difficult to find them.
Although she wore the book to avoid the end of Da Chun's sister being sold, she was really worried that the world in the book had its own consciousness and would automatically fix all the unreasonable and cause the loss of the two children in another way.
She couldn't take that risk.
"I'll arrange this. ”
Listening to Lin An's determined tone, Xu Wanning breathed a sigh of relief.
Da Chun and his sister were already sitting in the chair and drowsy.
After soaking their feet, Xu Wanning and Lin An went back to the room with their two children in their arms.
She took off her padded jackets for the children, covered them with quilts, and tiptoed out of the room.
The basin where he soaked his feet just now was gone, and there was the sound of Lin An walking in the yard, thinking that he should have picked it up and poured water.
She was shy for a few seconds and went to wash.
When she got back to her room, she lit a kerosene lamp and began to unwrap it.
First of all, a few pieces of clothing.
Two small ones, one navy blue and one goose yellow padded jacket, also bearing the logo of a department store. There is also a jujube red woolen coat, depending on the style, it should be prepared for Mother Lin.
In addition, there are two pairs of leather shoes with a dotted heel, one black and one white, which is a style that the original body will like.
Then, there are all kinds of snacks bought from department stores, scattered and scattered.
There is also a letter in it, which was written by Xu's father.
In the letter, he wrote about the recent events at home in a very small space, and the rest was to say hello to Xu Wanning. Xu's father also specially told that when the weather warms up, he must take Dachun and his sister to the photo studio to take a photo and send it back to Beijing, and his grandparents and two uncles are looking forward to seeing them.
Looking at Xu's father's strong and powerful handwriting, Xu Wanning couldn't help but moisten her eyes.
The original body has never really cherished the warmth given by her family, because she has grown up in a loving environment since she was a child, and the love of her parents and brother for her is like air, which exists in all aspects of her life.
But Xu Wanning is different, she is an orphan, and later met the master by chance, and through the master's connections, she got to know many grandfathers.
Master, mother, and grandfather treated her very well, and even taught her all her skills, but whenever she encountered something, they would help her.
However, the master and grandfather also have their own grandchildren, and there is too little love to share with her.
She had never felt such a sincere and pure affection.
She could feel it even through the thin piece of letterhead.
It was also at this moment that Xu Wanning finally had a real feeling.
If in this era, she can really harvest her parents and family who love her, then this trip to wear books is worth it!
There were also a number of bills in the envelope.
Grain stamps, meat stamps, sugar stamps, cloth stamps and industrial stamps are all used throughout the country, so you can imagine how troublesome it is to exchange these bills.
And Xu's father, Xu's mother, and the two elder brothers get so many tickets every month, so these bills are the love of the Xu family.
The Xu family is a big family, the grandparents have a total of three sons and a daughter, the aunt is the youngest, but the most educated, married to an engineer uncle, the two took their cousin abroad a few years ago.
Of course, they went abroad with the consent of the state, otherwise they would have been implicated in the great turmoil a few years ago.
Xu's father is third, and there are two older brothers in front of him.
