457. Stay

 The bullock cart slowly walked towards the entrance of the village. From a distance, I saw a person sitting under the big tree at the entrance of the village.

The old man who dared to drive an ox cart called Captain Zhou.

"Captain Zhou, do you think whose family that is? Why are you sitting there? What if you can't freeze well in this cold weather?"

At this time, the wind and snow have become very heavy, and heavy snowflakes are floating in the sky. If it rains for a while, it may rain even more heavily, and it will be difficult for the oxcart to drive.

The old man got off the bullock cart, holding the reins tightly with his hand, and led the cow forward step by step.

Captain Zhou also got off the ox cart and walked towards the entrance of the village. Before he could call the man, the man stood up.

It turned out to be Father Jiang.

Captain Zhou looked at him in surprise.

"Brother Jiang, what are you doing sitting here in this cold weather?"

Father Jiang stood up and gathered his coat.

"Aren't I worried about our daughter? Come and pick her up here, you are all back."

After saying that, he held his coat and ran towards Nuannuan.

I ran to the bullock cart and quickly took out the hot water bottle in my arms.

"Daughter, hurry up and put this hot water bottle in your arms. It's still hot."

In fact, it's not that hot, it's just relatively hot.

At first glance, you can tell that he has been waiting here for a long time.

"Dad, it's such a cold day, what should you do if you catch a cold?"

Dad Jiang smiled.

"I'm afraid you'll be too cold on the way back. I'll get you a hot water bottle to keep you warm. Come on, I'll heat up the kang at home when I come out."

Just for a moment, Dad Jiang’s accent became like a country man.

Those who don’t know think he grew up here.

Jiang Ma looked at him angrily and scolded him all the way back.

Father Jiang felt that his ears were about to fall off, so he muttered softly.

"Old lady, can you please stop mumbling? My daughter is watching."

Jiang Ma stretched out her hand and pinched his ear.

"You still know."

It was noisy all the way to their house.

The house is not big. It is just big enough for them to live together.

In the mud house at the back, Jiang's father, Jiang's mother, and Guan's mother each lived on one side.

The two rooms on the front and left are occupied by Jiang Shaoqing and others.

It's the room on the left that warms them.

Each room has a fire pit.

In front is the kitchen. There is also a small room next to the kitchen to temporarily store some sundries.

The kangs in the four rooms are all burning, and the room is warm.

After Captain Zhou sent them over, he helped move their things.

By the way, I told you something.

"The firewood left for you is distributed from each house. If it's not enough, you have to go up the mountain. From now on, all the villagers will live here. If you have anything, just tell me. We are now

There is no need to work in Maodong. When spring comes, people will have to work at home. How much food we can get all year round depends on centimeters. The young men are young and strong and can go to the fields. Brother Jiang, please do some easy work.



No one objected to this.

After a few more pleasantries, Captain Zhou left, asking them to rest quickly.

When you left, Lu Changqing asked when they would line up to the county seat.

He has to buy something.

Captain Zhou mysteriously told him that if he wanted to buy food, he would have to hire an oxcart to go there, and just pay him one yuan.

Other times, I will go to the county town every Friday, and everyone pays 10 cents for the toll.

Lu Changqing wrote it down.

They all brought bedding when they came, and Lu Changqing spread the new bedding on the kang. It was extremely thick, and he quickly let Nuannuan sit on it.

Mother Jiang and Mother Guan were sorting out their supplies.

Lu Changqing bought a bag of cabbage, radish and a small handful of vermicelli and white noodles from somewhere.

He also took out four or five eggs from his pocket.

Jiang's mother immediately lit a fire and steamed three bowls of egg custard, poured some soy sauce and sesame oil on it, it was very fragrant, and served it to the two pregnant women and children at home.

Guan Mingyue had nothing to do, so she sat next to Nuannuan.

Little Junjun was lying on the window sill obediently, eating his own egg custard, and smiled at Nuannuan when he turned around.

"Auntie, it's delicious."

Nuannuan touched his head.

"Then you eat quickly, and my aunt will give you some too."

Guan Mingyue looked at Nuannuan helplessly.

"Nuan Nuan, you are too used to this brat. He has enough to eat."

Xiao Junjun also nodded quickly.

"Auntie, I don't want yours. I have enough of my own. Grandma said that you are pregnant with a baby and you need to eat more good food. I will share my egg custard with you."

As he spoke, he scooped a large spoonful from his own bowl and shakily put it into the warm bowl.

Nuan Nuan was so cute that her heart softened.

"Our little Junjun is the best, you can eat it yourself."

Guan Mingyue ate the eggs in the bowl one bite at a time.

I feel a little melancholy.

"I didn't expect that after so many years of carefree life, we would end up in this situation. Will we stay here for the rest of our lives? Will we never be able to go back to Beidu?"

It was the place where she was born and raised. If she couldn't go back, she would be a little sad.

Nuannuan touched and held her hand.

"Don't worry, take it as it comes, and a leisurely life is good. After saving so much money for so many years, it will definitely be enough even if you don't work. Don't think so much. If the atmosphere is tense, we will hide here.

It’s pretty good too.”

Guan Mingyue looked at Nuan Nuan in surprise.

"You are quite open-minded in your thinking. Now that we are here, we can only settle down first. We will look at it later."

Nuannuan took out the sour apricots that Lu Changqing bought before.

"This sour apricot is delicious. Do you want to try it?"

Guan Mingyue took a bite.

My teeth were so sore that I almost fell out, so I vomited it out quickly.

"It's so sour. How can you eat it when it's so sour? Do you have any milk sugar? I want to eat something sweet."

Sweet?

Unexpectedly, Guan Mingyue likes to eat sweets after becoming pregnant, so Nuannuan took out a handful of milk candies from her bag and gave them to her.

"You've had this taste a lot. You used to like spicy food, but this time you like sweet food. You won't be pregnant with a little princess this time."

When Guan Mingyue talked about the child in her belly, she had a gentle smile on her face.

"I wish it was a girl. Your brother keeps nagging you all day long that you should have a daughter after having a son. I think he will become a daughter slave in the future. You don't even know it, but I found that he has been secretly learning to sew recently."

These words really shocked Nuan Nuan. I didn’t expect that his brother had such skills.

"No, he's a big man with rough hands and feet. How can he make clothes?"

I don’t know about Guan Mingyue. She works there mysteriously every day and hides when she sees someone coming. She doesn’t know exactly what it is like.
