Chapter 37: The Past
In the afternoon, Anxia cleaned up the vegetable patch in the yard, she asked Aunt Ma for some peppers, tomatoes and lentil seedlings again, and hurried to plant them.
Then she went into the woods and gathered many branches, and when she came back, she spread them out on the stack of firewood and dried them to make a fire, and then she cleaned the house inside and out, and tore off all the sheets and covers on her grandmother's bed, and washed them cleanly.
After all of it was done, it was time for dinner, An Xia cooked a little porridge, found red dates and wolfberries from the space, and put them in the porridge together, she sighed a little, the things in the cave are really too complete, there are a lot of medicines, medicinal materials, and even food supplements.
And there are these food supplements, An Xia thought about it, maybe because of those sea-like medical books, there is a special part of food supplement medical books, she has read a few books these days, in fact, the concept of Chinese medicine is very advanced.
The essential concept of traditional Chinese medicine is not to cure diseases, but to prevent them, to reduce the risk of disease from the root, and to fundamentally regulate and nourish the body's internal organs, so as to greatly reduce the number of times an individual gets sick, and a strong body, even if it is sick, can be cured as soon as possible than a body with insufficient qi and blood.
Therefore, food supplements are greatly respected, and are considered to be the foundation of Guyuan, so there are also many foods that can be eaten and replenished in the cave, Anxia took out a handful of dried longan, and the best white fungus soaked in the bowl, and when she went to see her grandmother tomorrow, she wanted to stew white fungus candy for her grandmother to drink.
After finishing this, she was about to boil water for a bath, because it was dark, and when she took firewood, she didn't notice that the placket of her clothes was hooked by a few branches, and with a "tearing" sound, several large long openings were torn out in front of her clothes, and the clothes in front of her became strips of cloth.
An Xia smiled bitterly, this is one of the only two coats she has, this is still the school uniform of Aunt Ma's eldest son, he can't wear it after he grows up, Aunt Ma saw that she didn't have any clothes, just such a coat, she didn't have any clothes to wear after washing, so she gave it to herself.
It looks like a sportswear, the color is also refreshing, and it is easy to wear this dress to work, so she has been wearing this dress, and now this dress is also dead.
Anxia sighed, took off her clothes, looked at it a few times, it really couldn't be mended, thought about it, washed it and put it away, it would be useful after the clothes were torn, she could only put on the last coat she had left, which was a red padded jacket.
There is not much cotton in the jacket, it is cold in winter, and it is hot in spring, but this dress is bought by my grandfather, and it has been worn for six years, the sleeves are short, and the clothes are not long enough, except that the fat and thin are still very fit, and the circle of the cuffs has been wrapped in a layer of red cloth by her, so that she can wear it for a few more years.
"It seems that I really want to buy a dress, and I can't save this money." Anxia sighed gloomily, remembering what her grandmother had given her when she was sick, she carefully opened the wooden box and pulled out two letters and a few pieces of money wrapped in a roll from the bottom of her clothes.
When these two letters were hospitalized, she turned them out and read them, one was written by her grandfather, when the war was fought, her grandfather was a soldier under Grandpa Lu Baichuan, and he once rescued Grandpa Lu Baichuan in the pile of dead, and was shot in the leg, in order to avoid the pursuit of the enemy, my grandfather endured the pain in his heart, and ran to a safe place with Grandpa Lu Baichuan on his back, one of his legs had a high fever because of a bullet infection, and he almost died, and this leg was lame after being cured.
In the letter, the grandfather said that they finally had a little girl in the An family, and that Anzhu had not been able to form a marriage, hoping that the old squad leader would like Anxia and let Anxia marry his grandson, and said that he was most sorry for Anxia, and the child suffered a lot with him, and wanted to entrust Anxia to the care of the old squad leader, so that the child would stop suffering and live a peaceful life.
There is also a letter to Anxia's father Lin Rongwei, this letter is very harshly worded, directly accusing Lin Rongwei of treachery and deceiving his daughter Anzhu, and now Anxia has been raised by them, asking Lin Rongwei to treat his girl well, and also warned Lin Rongwei that he still has the evidence of the year, if Lin Rongwei does not want Anxia, he will never give up, he has given the evidence to reliable people.
This is something she can't figure out, first of all, what evidence does her grandfather have, this evidence seems to be Lin Rongwei's weakness, because when she came to the door in her previous life, Lin Rongwei was impatient, and even wanted to drive her away, but was stopped by Xu Meifeng.
And she is too simple, she was dazzled by Xu Meifeng's rhetoric in a few words, except for her grandparents and fourth uncle since she was a child, there has never been a fourth person who has been so good to her, so she stupidly handed over all the things her grandmother gave her to Xu Meifeng, including the more than 100 yuan left by her grandmother, this is the money left by her grandmother, she would rather die of pain and starvation, she did not touch the money, but gave the money to herself early, and her grandmother tried her best to give Anxia a final retreat.
And after Xu Meifeng took advantage of her kindness and deceived these things, she didn't expect An Xia's grandfather to have such a deep relationship with an old general, she took An Xia and Lin Yuejiao to visit Lu Baichuan's grandfather, and also mentioned An Xia and Lu Baichuan's marriage as if she was a good person.
Seeing the resolute and cold Lu Baichuan, An Xia's heart skipped a beat, she had never seen such a man, standing in front of her like a god, with the unique temperament of a soldier, tall, introverted, stable and domineering, she even felt in her heart that her grandfather had arranged a good marriage for her.
But who knew that Lin Yuejiao also fell in love with Lu Baichuan, but no matter how hard Lin Yuejiao tried, Lu Baichuan never gave her a look, Lin Yuejiao couldn't get Lu Baichuan, and she didn't want An Xia to get such a good man, the mother and daughter took advantage of An Xia's trust and gratitude to them.
An Xia did the only bad thing in her life that made her conscience tingle and she couldn't be at peace for the rest of her life, she slandered Lu Baichuan, saying that Lu Baichuan had slighted her, and even made trouble in the army, and asked Lu Baichuan's grandfather to beat him up and drive him out of the house.
After this incident, An Xia never saw Lu Baichuan again, but at that time she didn't know that she was deceived by Xu Meifeng's mother and daughter, she thought that Lu Baichuan had underestimated Lin Yuejiao, she was standing up for Lin Yuejiao, and she used this way to repay Xu Meifeng's mother and daughter, ridiculously repaying!
In her previous life, she was a cow and a horse for them, and even the necklace left by her mother was snatched away by Lin Yuejiao, and she could only bow her head and admit it, who let Xu Meifeng give her mother-like warmth.
An Xia laughed self-deprecatingly, she was so stupid and simple, and because Xu Meifeng was too scheming and too good at superficial work, she was folded in the hands of this mother and daughter in her previous life.
But in this life, she will seek justice for her past life!
