Chapter 21 The Loess Plateau has good scenery
The weather on the loess slopes was completely different from Chen Qinghuan's previous days in the south. Jiangnan water town, cold in winter and hot in summer. But it's only the end of September, and the weather is starting to get a little cold.
After Wang Lai'an successfully quit his family, his life was still so ordinary. Chen Qinghuan planted on time and on time in the dream town every day, harvested and processed products, and worked hard like a little bee. Dream town upgrade once, the further back you go, the more difficult it becomes, mainly because the base is too large. Even if you count airplane transportation and helicopter transportation, you don't earn many points. Now there are people around every day, and there is no treasure, but nothing can be done. It's really aggrieved!
Fortunately, time is the medicine that cures everything, Wang Lai'an is also a lot more cheerful these days, occasionally Chen Qinghuan follows her to work in the field, and meets a long-tongued woman, who talks a lot of yin and yang weirdly, Chen Qinghuan looks at Wang Lai'an and is fine. But Chen Qinghuan also knew that this might be an appearance.
Wang Lai's inferiority complex has always been there, but it has not been exposed in front of outsiders. And the only way to change her inferiority complex, Chen Qinghuan can only think of making her different from the past, learning more knowledge, and understanding more knowledge.
But this matter can't be rushed, so Chen Qinghuan doesn't pay attention to her anymore at present.
Her headache now is the two persimmon trees in the yard.
Earlier, Chen Qinghuan didn't feel anything unsafe. But the leaves on the persimmon tree have fallen clean one by one, and the big yellow-orange persimmon is left hanging on the branches, and you start to feel that something is wrong at a glance.
And the dates on the tree from before. How do you look ... Not really... How to say it!
In Chen Aqiao's memory, this can be regarded as a bumper harvest!
But this year's weather is no different, and Chen Qinghuan usually has no special management or anything, and even fertilization is just a pile of sheep manure next to the tree, which is a routine operation.
Why is it different this year!?
Chen Qinghuan thought that it would be because he was sometimes lazy, and he was too lazy to pour it into the distance after taking a bath with the water in the dream town, and watered the tree in between.
Perhaps?
!!!
It just feels like it!
Chen Qinghuan chuckled in his heart, and began to feel uncertain.
A few jujube trees in the field also grew exceptionally well, where Chen Qinghuan often watered the ground and watered it a little by the way, and he had watered it many times in the long run.
Looking to the side to other people's houses, it is not a few minutes away, but the trees are still half-dead, and they are just showing teeth and claws, and they can't bear a few fruits.
In contrast, the lush and tall tree of its own tree is as striking as the green onion pulled from the ground!
But if you really want to say that it looks too eye-catching, it won't be.
That is, the foliage is more luxuriant, and the fruit is longer. I guess other people's homes will also think that it's because of the moisture, and other people's homes don't water much.
But could it be ... Chen Qinghuan had a faint doubt in his heart, thinking that maybe there were more secrets waiting to be explored in the dream town.
Maybe you can try it next year, water the trees separately and water them on one side, and see if there is anything different at the end of the year. After a few experiments, you can always detect the contrast.
She secretly wrote down this matter in her heart, and didn't think much about it.
This time of autumn is the harvest season, and the persimmons on the trees in the courtyard are red and shiny one by one hanging on the branches, and people feel greedy when they look at it.
There are too many fruits, but it is not good to eat fresh ones, Chen Qinghuan is going to pick the persimmons on the branch and make them into persimmons. This is not difficult, Chen Aqiao was a veteran before.
But before I could climb the trees and pick them off one by one, there were people in the small courtyard.
He wore a white turban on his head, a gown with holes, and no patches or anything.
He is not very old, and he can see on his face that it is the traces left by years of running around.
Chen Aqiao's third son-in-law - Cao Xiaosi
"It's Xiaosi, why are you here today?" To be honest, Chen Qinghuan really didn't want to sarcastically mock this son-in-law, she was quite surprised.
It's just that I've been wondering for half a year, and I'm about to forget about him, why did I come here.
Cao Xiaosi sneered, "I'm here today to come to see Lai'an." I'm working in other places, and I haven't had time to come back, no, as soon as I have the effort, I came. Isn't Laiping going to give birth at the end of the year, I'm coming back this time, and I plan to stay at home with her. Wait until she's done giving birth before leaving. ”
What he said was still like that, and Chen Qinghuan didn't ask much why he didn't plan to pick it up after so long. After all, he is also Wang Laiping's husband, since he came to pick up Wang Laiping, there is no need to show others his face, after all, this matter has nothing to do with him at the beginning.
"Since you're here, eat at my side and then go home. I haven't seen you for a long time, this baby has lost a lot of weight! ”
Chen Qinghuan led him into the courtyard as usual, and called Wang Laiping, who was sewing in the cave, to come out.
Wang Laiping had a big belly and walked very slowly. Recently, her legs and feet have started to swell, and her body is not very flexible. With one hand dragging her belly, you can see that she looks very good.
Cao Xiaosi looked at Wang Laiping and said, "Daughter-in-law, I'll take you home." ”
Wang Laiping didn't answer anything. Chen Qinghuan really couldn't see what she was thinking. When she goes back, she just waits for her to make her own decisions.
instructed Wang Lai'an to make a bun full of dustpans, and Cao Xiaosi ate most of the dustpan alone. He almost had one in two bites, and his stomach was like a bottomless pit.
Chen Qinghuan frowned slightly and asked,
When are you going to work again? ”
"I plan to go back in the next year, and when Laiping Doll is born, the family also needs money."
"You're out there, but you've suffered, and you're out of shape." Although it was distressing, Chen Qinghuan looked at his unscrupulous eating appearance, and he was a little displeased.
But this has to do with upbringing, and it has to do with living in the world. Chen Qinghuan didn't bother to say.
Chen Qinghuan glanced at Cao Xiaosi, looked at him and gobbled it up, and said, "It's a lot more money to make money outside than ours, but it's far away from home, and it's too offended." I went to Hong Kong with my brother this time! The realm of the earth is like the heavens! The streets are bright at night! It's beautiful! There is also that food, and there are many kinds of food! But it's not as fragrant as the food at home! But I think it's good there! I will make money in the future, so I will move there with Lai'an, everything! ”
Cao Xiaosi talked eloquently, chatting about his part-time job, and his eyebrows danced.
This Wang Laiping, Chen Qinghuan and Cao Xiaosi were eating in this house, and Wang Lai'an had already gone to the next door to eat with two steamed buns.
Chen Qinghuan looked at Cao Xiaosi's sweet posture of eating, and called Wang Laiping to pour a cup of tea for Cao Xiaosi, and followed him to the kitchen.
"This little four is here, and you haven't spoken for a long time? and ignore him ... What do you think of telling your mother, if you still have anger in your heart, then continue to live in your mother's house. If you want to go back with Xiaosi, your mother won't say anything, after all, you are a married girl. ”
Wang Laiping muttered in a low voice, "I'll go back with him, and I don't know the bottom of my heart." I'm going to give birth to this doll, I don't believe what my mother-in-law can do to me. If this baby is born, and my mother-in-law still treats me like that, then I will take the baby home and raise it myself. It's just that I'm afraid... What Wang Laiping was afraid of, she didn't say it.
Chen Qinghuan looked at her and said, "The decision you make, no matter what it is, your mother supports it anyway, just count the points in your own heart." Don't be angry with yourself when you go back this time, I think Xiaosi is okay, and it's okay for you to have a good chat with him, after all, he is your man, and he will be a father soon, so it's a big deal to break up! Mom will definitely be on your side then! ”
Chen Qinghuan thought, anyway, he is now at this age, who are he afraid of! Love to chirp! I'm not afraid of anything anyway!
It's just that Wang Laiping's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and he has to be careful, he can often go to see her, otherwise what will happen, what can be done? !
As a woman from modern times. Chen Qinghuan feels that giving birth to a child is really important to him! In these years, the medical conditions are not good, and giving birth to a child is a life of death!
After Cao Xiaosi finished eating, Wang Laiping had already packed up his things. These days, Chen Qinghuan has made her several clothes and pants, her belly is getting bigger day by day, and the previous clothes will be tight not long after, looking at Chen Qinghuan, I feel depressed. Anyway, the cotton cloth in the dream town is really worthless to me. Just do something good.
Suddenly remembering these two small bites, life is not easy. Chen Qinghuan was a little worried that after they went back, Wang Laiping's mother-in-law would not detain her and not give her food, so she simply went directly to the chicken pen and caught two chickens. Fill a basket with 50 eggs and let them both take them home.
"How can this be done, just keep it, grandma." Wang Laiping took Chen Qinghuan's hand, and his eyes were red like rabbits. Chen Qinghuan also felt that his eyes were sour.
"I've been living here with my grandmother for more than half a year, how can I still bring these things home."
"I'll take it with you, she's about to give birth, and she can't eat something nutritious. These eggs are also for my grandson, and they are not cheap for others! Little four, you must take good care of Laiping, this pregnancy is a big deal! But be careful. Chen Qinghuan said to Cao Xiaosi, turned his head and looked at Wang Laiping again, "I will go to see you when I have time in the future, and you will also send someone back to tell me, don't run away by yourself, you are pregnant with a child in your belly, pay attention to yourself!" ”
"Alas, Grandma! Grandma... Wang Laiping grabbed Chen Qinghuan's hand tightly and refused to let go.
It seems that at this moment, Chen Qinghuan's mind flashed that Chen Aqiao gave birth to and raised his young third daughter... Memories of slowly walking through hardships.
My daughter ...
My daughter ...
My daughter!!
