Chapter 52: Injury

Mom, what are you eating? I smelled it in the yard."

"Chili sauce." Tang Ningning saw Widow Luo gulping down a bowl of water, so she quickly filled several bowls of boiling water in the pot and started to dry it.

All the children were here, except Gu Han.

Tang Ningning was still a little reluctant to let go.

Gu Han went to study alone early in the morning and was not allowed to see him off. Fortunately, the weather was nice, otherwise Tang Ningning would have been worried to death.

School ends late at night, so it will probably be dark when we return to the village.

"Ah, it's so spicy--" Gu Zhou exclaimed, pulling Tang Ningning away from her thoughts.

I saw this snack foodie took a bamboo spoon, scooped up a spoonful and put it into his mouth, choking and making his whole face turn red.

"Oh, you kid, eat slowly." Tang Ningning hurriedly brought the water over.

Gu Zhou drank water and was obviously much better.

With bright eyes, she shouted, "Mom, this sauce is delicious."

After saying this, several children looked at the chili sauce on the table with salivation. Tang Ningning noticed He Hua who had followed Gu Yan back and said with a smile, "Sit with Lotus."

"Yes." The little girl was still a little shy, but she was much better than before.

She stared blankly at the chili sauce on the table, smelled the rich aroma, and swallowed with salivation.

Tang Ningning didn't notice and just told Gu Zhou, "Zhou'er, go call Dahua and Shanyou."

When Widow Luo heard this, she quickly said, "No need to shout, I went back to Canghe Village yesterday and didn't come back."

"Okay, let's have dinner."

Tang Ningning spent the whole morning making chili sauce, cooking some porridge, and heating up steamed buns. They were a bit shabby, so she took out the dishes she had eaten for the New Year two days ago.

There are pig head meat, yellow croaker meat, and duck leg meat.

During this year's Chinese New Year, Tang Ningning's biggest regret was that she didn't get any shrimp, and the old man never went to the dock to sell them again.

She sighed, looked at how everyone was eating, and said quickly, "You put the chili sauce in the steamed buns and put a piece of pork head in it. That taste is delicious."

Several people listened and learned to eat.

After dinner, everyone went home.

Tang Ningning went to Li Zheng's house.

"Aunt Liang, have a great New Year." Li Zheng's daughter-in-law, whose surname is Liang, is from Canghe Village. She is smart and capable.

When Mrs. Liang saw Tang Ningning, she quickly put down what she was doing, wiped her hands, and said strangely, "You came here just as you said you would. What do you want to eat?"

Tang Ningning put the chili sauce and New Year's greetings in her hand on the table and said with a smile, "It's the New Year, it should be."

"Good boy, you are really thoughtful." Mrs. Liang hurriedly called for everyone to sit down and said with a smile, "Your uncle Zheng had expected you to come. He couldn't take care of it, so he asked me to keep it for you."

After saying that, he took out all the household registration certificates.

It has already been stamped.

Tang Ningning took a few glances to confirm that there was no problem, and said, "Uncle Zheng is really in trouble."

"It's not troublesome, but it's hard on you."

It is really difficult for a widow whose husband's family does not recognize her and who has four children to take care of.

The two chatted for a while, and then Tang Ningning left Li Zheng's house with the five-sin dish given by Liang.

This five-spice dish is a gift that villagers often give each other during the Chinese New Year, which means good luck. It contains onions, ginger, garlic and mustard peppers.

As soon as she walked to the big locust tree in the village with the gift in hand, she saw Old Mrs. Gu coming back with a droopy face, followed by Old Man Gu with a gloomy face.

The villagers sitting under the locust tree couldn't sit still and began to murmur.

After the old couple of the Gu family left, they immediately gathered under the locust tree with the villagers who had gone to watch a play in the town, and proudly told what they saw in the town as a joke.

"Really, you were kicked out?"

"No face was given at all. Old Man Gu left the table angrily, and the couple came back."

Tang Ningning hid behind and listened briefly.

It is said that the first wife of Mr. Gao family passed away early after giving birth to a daughter.

I don’t know why this daughter was raised to be obese, with big shoulders and a thick waist, but she is also quite strong. She talks like a man.

Later, Mr. Gao married another woman, who was young and easy to have children.

The stepmother gave birth to another daughter.

Now it's better, one of the two daughters is beautiful, one is ugly, one is thin and the other is fat.

Everyone in the house hates this young lady.

The matter was well hidden, and not many people knew that Mr. Gao had a step-sister and a daughter.

I didn't find out until the wedding.

The old man of the Gu family felt cheated and was furious.

When Gu Haoshu saw Miss Gao's look, he also regretted it.

There was quite a commotion.

But who are the Gao family? How can we allow them to regret it and force them to get married directly?

The old couple of the Gu family were also kicked out, not to mention the other relatives who went to accompany the guests. They were all kicked out. There were huge complaints.

Tang Ningning wanted to laugh. She really lost her wife and lost her army. With such a thoughtful step-in-law, it was unclear whether Miss Gao would be able to receive the inheritance.

Before she got home, Tang Ningning saw He Hua running out of the village with tears on her face, "He Hua, why are you running in such a hurry?"

Hearing her voice, Lotus stopped crying and stopped.

"Sister Xiaoning, my grandma fell and I need to ask a doctor."

There are no doctors in Dayue Village. Within a few miles, there is only one Doctor Hu living in a village not far from Dafeng Village.

Tang Ningning said quickly, "Go to Uncle Wu's house and ask him to ride a donkey cart to ask for the doctor. It's twenty coins back and forth. He will definitely go."

The Chinese New Year has just passed, so Uncle Wu probably hasn't left the car yet.

"money--"

"Go quickly, I'll give you some money." Tang Ningning looked at the confused and painful Lotus and immediately took out twenty coins.

He Hua was shocked and quickly wiped away her tears and bowed to her, "Thank you, Sister Xiao Ning."

As soon as he finished speaking, he spread his legs and ran away.

Tang Ningning also quickly went to Aunt Hao's house.

This is her first time here. The whole yard is not big. Although it is dilapidated, it is kept very clean. There is a pile of firewood piled under the north corner. Walking further in, there is a tofu shop.

Faintly, there is also the fragrance of tofu.

Tang Ningning didn't dare to look carefully and quickly entered the house.

Inside the house, it was very dark.

"It's the lotus. The lotus is back?"

"Uncle Li, I am Tang Ningning, I live next door."

Uncle Li is Aunt Hao's husband. He is old, his eyesight is not working well, and he cannot see people clearly.

"Xiao Tang?" He often heard He Hua say that the woman who lived in front was a kind-hearted woman who was very nice. It seemed that she was the one.

Tang Ningning responded and looked at Aunt Hao who was lying on the kang. It was nothing serious, but she was old and could not withstand the fall and fainted.

"Uncle Li, let me see my aunt."

"I'm old. I fell down on the stove. I don't know if I touched anything?" He couldn't see anything and was worried.

Hearing this, Tang Ningning touched it carefully. Suddenly, her eyes froze and she stretched out her hand. There was blood on her hand.

She quickly opened the window and pulled Aunt Hao's head. When she saw that it was bleeding, it seemed that she had hit something hard.
