Chapter Eighty-Nine: Contradictions Deepen
The corners of her clothes were wrinkled by Xiaolan, and she smoothed them with her hands again, smoothed them out and wrinkled them again, and so on several times......
Although she rejected Shen Yunqing's proposal, it was like planting a seed in her heart, and a little sprout popped up from time to time, making her ready to move.
Xiaolan finally threw away the tissue in her hand, and her face basically returned to normal, she stood up and said, "Thank you for listening to my complaints, after I said my grievances, I felt much better, I will go back first." ”
Shen Yunqing nodded.
After Xiaolan left, the village chief and Uncle Gan came to find Shen Yunqing.
"Qing girl, or we won't enter the town, this is also close to Ningzhou, I heard people passing by say that Ningzhou County guards the people, and will open a warehouse at the gate of the city every day to put grain, and each person can receive five catties of grain."
The village chief and Uncle Gan have been getting closer and closer recently, and if there are any tricky matters between the two villages, they will discuss and solve them together.
That's a good thing.
They listened to the advice of most of the villagers and decided to go to Ningzhou County to get some food.
Although five catties of grain can't solve any problems for them, after eating, they still have to rely on wild vegetables and fruits in the mountains to survive.
But some people have elderly people, children, and pregnant women at home, but these five catties of food can save their lives.
After discussing it with Uncle Gan, the village chief decided to ask Shen Yunqing what he meant.
According to Shen Yunqing's original plan, he would make a little more supplies in the town below the mountain, and then continue to walk the mountain road.
Hearing the village chief say this, she also had to think about the other people in the village, and after listening to Nangong Qiao's detailed explanation of Ningzhou County last time, she was also very curious about Ningzhou.
So, she said with a straight face: "The county guards Huaide and benevolence, then let's go and have a good time." ”
The village chief and Uncle Gan looked at her together, and smiled, "I'll go and tell them to prepare." ”
"No hurry, village chief." Shen Yunqing called the village chief and pointed to the sky, "It's dark now anyway, have a good night's rest, and set off tomorrow." It's only two days away from Ningzhou at most, so it shouldn't be that urgent, right? ”
When she said this, the village chief smiled a little embarrassedly and touched the back of his head, "Miss Qing is right, I am too anxious." ”
***********
Xiaolan returned to her resting place, and Ergou and his mother were ready to sleep.
Recently, the weather has become colder, and the cold air is heavy at night, and the second dog used the long rattan along the way to weave a mat for his mother and spread it on the ground.
Seeing that Xiaolan came back so late, the old woman said intentionally or unintentionally: "Who did you go to see secretly at such a late hour?" ”
What she said made people infinitely reverie, the person Xiaolan secretly saw must be a man in Ergou's eyes!
Ergou also followed his mother and asked: "What did my mother ask you, who did you go to see?" ”
Xiaolan replied: "I didn't see anyone, just walked around." ”
She told Shen Yunqing and Yang Xiu everything, which was equivalent to her secret with them, so she wouldn't tell what she did today.
But the more she didn't say it, the more suspicious Ergou became, and the signs of suspicion were planted in her heart, and she couldn't extinguish it.
Ergou glanced at her: "Hurry up and sleep, I'm going to leave for Ningzhou tomorrow morning, just now the village chief came to speak, I heard that Ningzhou is targeting refugees and is opening a warehouse to release grain." Each person can receive five catties, and when the time comes, ours will be eaten by my mother. ”
After speaking, he lay down next to his old lady and took off the clothes she was wearing as a quilt cover.
Xiaolan stood aside and looked at where she slept.
She has been very weak since she was born prematurely, and the doctor said that she can't suffer from the cold anymore, but the mud in the mountains is wet, so she lies on the ground and sleeps for one night, just afraid that she will have back pain and illness the next day!
The second dog on the ground was originally facing away from her, feeling that she was not moving, so he turned his head and glanced at it: "What's wrong?" Don't sleep yet! ”
Xiaolan held her breath in her heart, and her tone was a little rushed: "There is no place for me to sleep, where do you tell me to sleep?" ”
She is just a little temperament, I want to see, I said it so bluntly, can't Ergou hear what it means?
Ergou: "In such a big place, why is there no place for you to sleep?" ”
The old woman on the side said with added vinegar: "I guess I don't want to sleep here, make excuses!" ”
Xiaolan laughed angrily at her mother-in-law's words, and was about to reason with her, when she was interrupted by Ergou: "My mother is right, I used to sleep like this, why can't I do it today?" Are you hiding something from me? ”
"Nope!" She looked at the old woman alone, lying on the ground and occupying the big rattan mat, and simply said more bluntly: "My body can't stand the cold, and I have to sleep on the rattan mat!" ”
The rattan mat is very large, and it is a little loose for two to sleep on it, and if there are three people, it is still okay to barely squeeze it.
She just wanted to see if Ergou was willing to wronged his mother for herself.
Seeing that Ergou sat up and looked at the rattan mat, he was glared at by the old woman before he could speak, and then turned his head to lie outside.
Ergou is very knowledgeable, knowing that his mother is not happy, and the words he just prepared changed to his mouth, "I can't sleep on this mat, how you slept before and how you can sleep now, why do you have to work with me everywhere from today?" Was it instigated? ”
How did you sleep before? Xiaolan snorted coldly in her heart, they used to sleep on the mat, and she found a tree trunk to lie on it and pass it away.
I've tasted the feeling of not being taken seriously many times, and I suddenly don't want to taste it today.
At this time, I remembered what Shen Yunqing said about harmony, and this idea became stronger and stronger, but if I said it directly, Ergou would definitely not agree, so I really couldn't tell Ergou to divorce her, she didn't want to live like this again.
Xiaolan stood aside for a long time, and Ergou and his mother didn't open their eyes to look at themselves.
Until the two of them were sleeping and snoring, Xiaolan ran to Shen Yunqing's side again.
Because he wanted to think about entering Ningzhou, Shen Yunqing called Nangong Qiao over, and the two were discussing something, Shen Yunqing was holding a few thin branches in his hand, and he was wearing something roasting.
It smells so good!
"Aunt Xiaolan!" It was Shen Yunqing who greeted her first, "Come and eat skewers!" ”
Xiaolan had come to find Shen Yunqing, and when she saw her shouting, she was not polite, and walked over.
Shen Yunqing's "eat skewers" woke up Yun Jiao, who was already asleep, and she got up with her eyes closed, "Skewers? Where there are skewers, they are so fragrant! I want to eat! ”
After saying that, he lay down again.
Shen Yunqing pursed his lips and smiled, beckoning Xiaolan to sit down: "Don't worry about her, sleepwalking!" ”
She leaned on the tips of her wings, and more than a dozen strings of wingtips were evenly spread on the fire, sprinkled with various spices, and the smell made people want to eat it.
At this time, many families in the team can't get enough to eat, but the life of Shen Yunqing's family is getting better and better, and sure enough, people with ability are not afraid of anywhere.
Xiaolan sat opposite Shen Yunqing, took the three strings of wingtips she handed over, and said "thank you".
