Chapter 5: Separation

Xu Qingmu came back early the next morning with his daughter-in-law and little daughter.

Xu Shuxin was hospitalized in the hospital for observation for a night, during which she also developed a fever, but fortunately it was not serious, and the fever quickly subsided after taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor.

In the morning, the doctor examined her and let them come back.

An extra day of hospitalization will cost you an extra day.

The doctor had been working in the commune hospital for a long time, and he knew the situation of the members, so he prescribed some common and cheap Chinese medicine and let them go home.

But even so, half of the money Xu Qingmu withdrew from the accountant was spent.

Pinching the remaining three yuan in his hand, Xu Qingmu got into the ox cart with a calm expression.

It was Ma Shengli who drove the car, he didn't go back last night, and accompanied Xu Qingmu's family in the hospital for one night.

Therefore, it is time to bring Xu Qingmu and the three of them back again.

No matter what reason Ma Shengli didn't go back at night, but chose to stay in the hospital for one night, Xu Qingmu confessed his feelings.

The same goes for Xu Shuxin.

This time, whether it was her father going to the accountant to withdraw the money in advance or arranging for his grandson to send them to the hospital, he helped them a lot.

Sitting in the car, Xu Shuxin thought so.

When the group returned to the Peace Brigade, it was already work time, so there was no one in the village.

Ma Shengli sent people to the door of Xu's house and went back.

Seeing that the door of the house was closed, Xu Qingmu directly pushed the door as usual.

In normal times, if he pushed like this, the door would be opened, after all, in a place like the Peace Brigade, the doors of every house would not be locked during the day.

But now he couldn't open it at all, and the door was locked from the inside.

It also shows that someone is at home.

"Who's at home? Open the door for me. Xu Aoki shouted into the door.

After all, the meals of a large family of more than 20 people are not a small project, and if they all wait for work and then come back to cook, it will be too late.

As is customary, today should be a four-room cooking.

Sifang has no daughter, and he hasn't married a daughter-in-law yet, so now the fourth daughter-in-law Ma Dahua and Mrs. Xu should be at home.

Mrs. Xu is old, and she has a daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law, so she won't go to work.

"Mother, I'm back, open the door for me!" Xu Qingmu shouted again and patted the door.

It was quiet inside, and no one answered him at all.

"Is there no one at home?" Cui Lanhua asked.

"My grandma must be at home." Xu Shuxin suddenly said, "There is also the fourth aunt, it is her turn to cook today, they must have heard it, but no one ignored us, it can be seen that they don't want us to go home." ”

Xu Shuxin's words stunned both Xu Qingmu.

Xu Qingmu even forgot to slam on the door.

"Qiya, you, you, you... Was it you talking just now? Xu Qingmu turned his head stiffly to look at the little girl, and he stammered a little when he spoke.

"Qiya, aren't you stupid?" Cui Lanhua asked.

Xu Shuxin directly skipped Cui Lanhua's words, and showed a smile to Xu Qingmu, "Dad, I'm talking." ”

"Great!"

Xu Qingmu was so excited that he picked up the little girl and wanted to throw the person away, but he thought that the little girl had just hurt her head, so she had to hold back her excitement and only hold the person steadily.

"That's great!" Xu Qingmu kept sighing, and even his voice was choked.

Xu Shuxin didn't speak again, but stretched out her thin hand and patted the father.

Although she was confused before, she also knew that this father was really good to herself and really loved herself, so now that she is sober, he will be so excited.

After a long while, I felt that my father's emotions had calmed down, and Xu Shuxin spoke, "Dad, the most important thing for us now is to split up, my mother and I are waiting here, you go and find the captain." ”

Although it's work time, it's a bit bad to have the captain come over and take care of their chores, but they can't really stand here for half a day, right?

Although the family of three had breakfast, because of the money, the family of three only ate two steamed buns.

That's it, Xu Qingmu bought two more because he wanted to buy breakfast for Ma Shengli, and prepared one for his daughter-in-law and one for his little daughter.

But neither Cui Lanhua nor Xu Shuxin could do anything to eat alone and make him hungry, and in the end, the three of them shared two steamed buns.

Naturally, that bit of buns can't fill your stomach.

Not to mention Xu Qingmu and Cui Lanhua, even Xu Shuxin's stomach couldn't help but protest.

Xu Qingmu had already made up his mind when he said the word "separation" last night, and now that he was locked out of the door like this, his heart was even more like falling into an ice cave, cold and cold.

also strengthened his determination to split up.

He immediately said, "Okay, Dad will be back soon." ”

After speaking, Xu Qingmu put the little girl down, comforted Cui Lanhua again, and immediately ran away.

Xu Aoki came back quickly.

There were not only the captain, but also the old man Xu and the branch secretary and accountant cadres who came back together.

Because it was work time, the captain's face was long.

The captain and the branch secretary are both members of the team, and it stands to reason that the position of the branch secretary is older than that of the team, but because the captain is old, the people in the village are more convinced of him, so the captain is mainly in charge of the affairs of the team, and the branch secretary is mainly responsible for the external affairs, as well as the transmission of various documents and meetings.

But for this kind of family separation, the branch secretary also has to come to witness.

The captain was originally annoyed by the Xu family's delay in production, but now looking at the closed door of the Xu family, and Xu Shuxin's mother and daughter were sunburned and red, and the anger in their hearts was even greater.

He said to Old Man Xu with a dark face: "Xu Youtian, you come to open the door!" ”

Old man Xu didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly called someone to open the door.

Unlike before, Old Man Xu had just finished shouting, and the door was opened from the inside.

It was Aunt Xu who opened the door, and she looked at the people outside the door, especially the captain with a black face, who was a little flustered.

"Dad, captain, and the branch secretary, you come in quickly."

The captain was the first to come, and he scolded Aunt Xu as he walked, "Finally willing to open the door?" I thought everyone in the family was dead, so no one came to open the door! ”

Aunt Xu Si sneered, "Where, the third brother Xu is voice is too quiet, I didn't hear it." ”

"Humph!" The captain snorted coldly, indicating that he did not believe it.

Aunt Xu didn't dare to refute it anymore.

The group entered the hall and sat down in the house.

The captain said straight to the point: "Okay, let's talk about the separation." ”

As soon as she heard about the separation, Aunt Xu's eyes lit up, and she couldn't care about being afraid, so she boldly said: "Dad, since you want to split up, do you want to call back the eldest brother, the second brother, and my man?" ”
