Lu Caiqing heard this, and hurriedly said, "Uncle Village Chief! Neither! What is this for, I know that you are just a child in your family, and I have developed her temper when I am used to it, but that is her personal behavior, and it has nothing to do with you, these are what I said to you before, how can I still recycle it? ”

"Pick green! You take it! Since you came to our Chenjia Village, some people have said that you are a mourning star and cause trouble, and we also feel that more things are better than less things, so as not to bring bad to the atmosphere of Chenjia Village, so as not to send you away as soon as possible, only to listen to Chen's demagogy against your will, and sell you, this matter is a hurdle in the heart of your village chief uncle, Yan'er did such a ugly thing You didn't blame us, so that there was another scene in the fish market, we take your money again, it is really unbearable, although we are greedy for money, But we still won't do things that harm others and benefit ourselves. ”

Song Ziyu heard this and hurriedly said, "Aunt Village Chief! Don't say anything else, all of this is also for Chen's village, you did it because of Chen's bewitchment, don't worry about this matter, it's all in the past, anyway, now that the little daughter-in-law is doing well, you don't have to feel so guilty. ”

When Lu Caiqing heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Uncle Village Chief!" Neither! Speaking of Chen, I would like to visit her house! Since you have brought the money, I think it is better to help the poor in the name of the village, she is now lonely and has no personal care, so it is better to give her the money! ”

Uncle Village Chief raised his eyes and was stunned for a moment, looked at him with puzzled eyes and said, "Cai Qing!" Do you really want to see her? She used to be so bad to you, and you still think about her? ”

Lu Caiqing smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Village Chief! You also said that it was before, things have passed so long, now I am very happy, I don't care about the previous things, not to mention that he lost a son again, now he must be lonely, let's go see her together! As for Sister Yan'er! When Lin Huaijin comes back from Beijing, I will help ask, it is his business whether he cares or not, I can only help pass on a message. ”

The village chief and his family listened to it, and they got up and thanked them, whether they listened or not, they were all hope, and if they couldn't do it, they could only watch it, and it was worth it for her to exercise there.

Song Ziyu saw that the village chief and his family were really not greedy for the money, so he wrapped it up and put it on his body, and the village chief insisted on saying: "Cai Qing!" You just have the heart, but since I return the money, I don't plan to take it again, so you can do it! There are special funds for poverty alleviation in the village, so don't worry about it. ”

Lu Caiqing couldn't say anything, since they sent it back, they wanted to have peace of mind, so they followed their wishes, and the money they got was still too biting?

Song Ziyu carried two pheasants, carried the white noodles on his shoulders, and carried the pastries in his right hand to accompany Lu Caiqing to the Chen family with the village chief.

The two village chiefs thought that they would talk casually, who knew that they had already prepared, and as the head of a village, they couldn't be empty-handed, so they asked the mother-in-law to go back and hurriedly weigh some white noodles, with two catties of pork, eggs at home and a fat and big old hen, and the four of them walked into the yard.

Lu Caiqing walked into the yard with a heavy heart, after all, it was a house where he had lived for several months, the yard was empty, and there were some weeds, and the lid of the vat in the yard was not covered, and the water had bottomed out, indicating that Chen did not carry water.

Walking to the door, the village chief's daughter-in-law shouted: "Is the old sister of the Chen family here?" ”

Several people stopped for a while, only to hear a weak voice inside: "Who? Ahem, ahem, ahem, ......! A violent cough followed.

Song Ziyu walked in front, and when he saw that no one came out, he wanted to vigorously push open the door, but he opened it with a light touch. Pushing open the door, he walked in first, looked at the left and right rooms, and saw that one of the rooms had a curtain hanging and did not close the door, so he opened the curtain, and stretched out his head to see that there was indeed someone on the kang inside.

He didn't go ahead, so he raised the curtain and shouted, "Uncle and aunt of the village chief!" Over here! ”

The old couple walked in, Lu Caiqing also walked in randomly, looking at the four walls of the house, the same room, the same furnishings, the incense hall on the kang cabinet has an extra pair of dishes and chopsticks, but there is a lot of dust added to it, and looking back at the old lady on the kang, she is already sick.

When the village chief's daughter-in-law came in, she covered her mouth and shouted, "Oops! Is this still a house that people live in? Even if it's dilapidated, why still smells stinky. ”

Chen's illness for a few days, due to the lack of nutrition, and no one around to take care of him, a few days ago he could barely cook a little food, and now he has basically lost his ability to take care of himself on the kang, Si'er is anxious and his health is not good, he can't afford to be seriously ill, he opened his eyes and looked at the village chief and his wife, and his heart was still a little moved, and when he raised his eyes to see Lu Caiqing and the two, there was a trace of disgust in his eyes.

When the village chief's daughter-in-law saw it, she moved her hand and said, "Sister Chen hasn't been on the kang for a few days, look at it, I'm afraid it's incontinence!" No wonder this smell, Cai Qing hurriedly went to the kang to open the window to disperse the smell. ”

Lu Caiqing listened, quickly took off his shoes and went to the kang, and opened the windows in turn, Chen saw her busy figure, and said stumblingly: "Lu Caiqing!" Don't pretend to be kind to me, do you see my son dying and come to take me...... I'm taking my house, I'm ...... You're here to laugh at me, look at my jokes, aren't you? ”

The village chief's daughter-in-law knew that Lu Caiqing came to see her sincerely, and helped Lu Caiqing explain: "Sister of the Chen family! Why don't you know what to do, your house is worth a few dollars, people are lacking in your broken house, people are kind enough to come to see you, and bring you pheasants, white flour and pastries, you will be content. ”

"Just how much your house is worth, people are short of your broken house, people are kind enough to come to see you, and bring you pheasants, white noodles and pastries, you will be content, think about how you treated people before, now come to see you, be content!"

"I ...... I didn't ask her to come and see me, and now I can't move, maybe she's coming to see me for a joke. Chen said angrily.

Lu Caiqing opened the window and shouted, "Brother Song! You go to the yard to pick up some water, I'll go to weld some water in the cauldron, the summer is over, and you have to ask for warm water to wipe your body. ”

Lu Caiqing knew that the old lady had a knife mouth, and she definitely didn't believe that she came to see her sincerely, but for Chen Ming's sake, she didn't care about a terminally ill person.

So Mari put on his shoes and went to the outside of the house to pick up firewood and weld a large pot of water. The village chief was in the house at this time, sitting on the edge of the kang and enlightening Chen: "Look at it! How good it is for people to pick green! If you hadn't coaxed me and said that she was not good and that it was not good, would I have helped you sell her? Now I'm getting my retribution. ”

Chen lay on the kang and didn't speak, listening to the village chief's familiarity: "Old sister of the Chen family! You are the only one left in the Chen family now, and now there is no one to take care of, and there is no one in the distance, it's not that I said you, it's just your mouth, you don't have a good sister in the village, and now you are sick and you don't even have someone to take care of. ”

"I don't have to take care of it, I've been so strong all my life, I'm used to living with two children, and now I'm the only one left, I'll just lie down and wait for death, so I can find them to ...... quickly" After speaking, he cried sadly.

"That's what I said, but if you look at it now, are you really waiting for death like this? Although our village is not an advanced village, it is not a ruthless and unintentional village, and I have brought some food today, so we will deal with it for a few days, and we will come to see you in a few days. The village chief said as he smoked a cigarette pouch and pot.

"Thank you village chief for your concern! I don't think I'm getting better, so it's better to go to his father as soon as possible and reunite with his sons, so I don't have to bother...... The village chief and his sister came all the way to see me. Chen refused.

"What is that called, what is a long way away, and it is not so far as ten miles and eight miles, how far can a village be from the east and a west, it is more important to recuperate well than anything else, and find a mother-in-law to wash and scrub to help in two days, and the village will pay for the hired people." Chen Youwang suddenly found his conscience and took care of Chen's future life.

"How? The village chief can't do this, my illness is already so serious, who wants to wait on me, a dirty and troublesome person! Chen said self-deprecatingly.

Lu Caiqing raised his legs and walked in with a steaming wooden basin of warm water, and said, "That's it, Uncle Village Chief!" I don't have anything to do during the day, I'll take care of her, you just find a mother-in-law who is willing to keep vigil, and I'll take care of three meals a day. ”

"Don't be kind to you, who knows what you're trying to do with your dedication? I see it at a glance here, you take what you like, I don't want you to block it in front of my eyes. Chen said as he coughed.

The village chief's daughter-in-law followed in and said, "Old sister! You have a stinky temper, let me give me money, I won't come to serve you, it's too hypocritical. ”

Chen knew that the village chief's daughter-in-law would not usually come to help, and no one would reach out when there was something to do, and he didn't know why he came with Lu Caiqing.

As soon as he thought of this, Lu Caiqing took off his shoes and got on the kang, and said to Chen Youwang: "Uncle Village Chief! You go out first to see if Brother Song's water is full, and if it is full, let him pick up the grass in the yard. Aunt Village Chief, you help me with the handle, I changed my aunt's clothes and washed them, and by the way, I was wiping my body, although the summer has passed, but now the weather is still hot, wipe it cooler. ”

Chen Youwang knew that Lu Caiqing meant to let him go out, and it was inconvenient for them to work, so he knocked his eye bag along the edge of the kang, rolled up the cigarette bag and went out with his hands behind his back.

The village chief's daughter-in-law was a little reluctant when she saw that this posture was to pick up the dirty pants for Chen's, but seeing that Cai Qing had already gone on the kang to lift the quilt, she thought about it and thought that she was just a hand, and she didn't come by herself, so she just went back and washed it well.

Sure enough, Lu Caiqing just couldn't move the old lady, so she asked her to help support her, and after a whole set, she was nothing, just tired Lu Caiqing and sweated profusely.
