Chen Miao arranged the branches, laid out a mat, and got into the car with her two sons.
"Comrade Li, I'm leaving."
Li Wenquan wanted to say be careful on the road, but he couldn't say such pale words. He watched her push the cart away quickly.
He looked at her back and smiled. She was really a powerful woman. This was simply not something a country woman could do.
But she was a person who grew up in the countryside, with no education and little knowledge. How did she do it?
It looked like her steps were very fast, as if she was running.
In fact, she was afraid, right? She just didn't show it.
Chen Miao was really anxious. No matter what the people behind her thought, she had to take her children and leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.
It took about an hour to reach the fork in the road. I was actually quite tired, but I didn't dare to rest.
She laughed to herself. She really didn't forget to eat and not to fight. Every time she came out, she felt in danger. She said she would never come out again. But she would still come out after a few days.
I have made up my mind that I will never come out again. I have lived two lives and know that I can’t be too attached to anything and just let nature take its course.
If you don't have any raw materials, just rest. There's no need to do this. The main reason is that if one of them is really bad, you may be in dire straits.
If you don't have the heart to be a hero, you just want to do what you can do to the best of your ability. But the prerequisite is to ensure your own safety.
Think clearly and walk faster. The children are breastfeeding and can last for two or three hours without any problem.
I originally told them that I would take them to buy sesame seed cakes on the way, but I didn't buy anything.
If you go out again in the future, you must buy something first. Don't delay everything like this time.
"Yun Shan Yun Xin, are you hungry? Are there any glutinous rice sticks here?"
Both children were also wearing masks. They both shook their heads.
"Then mother, hurry up."
Chen Miao's pace became faster. She couldn't wait to get home soon.
Although that dilapidated place cannot be said to be safe, it can be said to be the place where one feels.
After Li Wenquan lost sight of Chen Miao, he packed up all the harvest. The money was more than 100 yuan.
I was going to give it to her, but she ran away. I'll send it to her in a few days. If I had given it to her just now, I probably wouldn't have wanted it.
These five guns are all very good. Keep one for her. In fact, it is her credit, and it is reasonable to give it to her.
He left quickly and wanted to go back to report. Although he knew it was unstable, he didn't expect it to be like this.
The message from above was to ask them to wait for the coming comrades, but no one came.
This area can actually be said to be okay, every village has a militia, but there is no problem in dealing with small enemy teams.
If the little devils and two gouzi really came in large numbers, they wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Li Wenquan smiled bitterly, when is the boss? When can I live a peaceful life? To be honest, it is like this every day, and I feel really tired.
It was past three o'clock in the afternoon when Chen Miao arrived home. She didn't dare to stop along the way because she was really scared. She didn't even unload the car after she got home. She carried her two children into the house.
In my heart, this is not a house to enter, a safe fortress to enter.
If I were on my own, I would just take a rest, but that's not possible. It's cold in the room, and the kang is also cold. I have two such young children, and as a mother, I must give them a comfortable environment.
Brothers Yun Shan and Yun Xin sat on one side sucking milk and watching their mother light the fire.
Chen Miao has a lot of work to do. When the water is hot, he feeds the animals.
"What do you want to eat? Are the dumplings good?"
The two little ones knew what dumplings were and they both smiled and nodded.
Chen Miao was afraid that they would be hungry, so he gave them chicken wings one by one. The chicken legs were too big and they had to occupy their mouths.
After working hard for two hours, my mother sat down on the kang to eat.
Leek dumplings are really delicious when eaten in winter.
Chen Miao was also very hungry. She ate two bowls of dumplings and two pieces of chicken.
I thought to myself that it would be really bad to be so hungry and full. I drank the dumpling soup and my mind was racing.
I estimate that Li Wenquan will come over in the next few days, maybe tonight.
Ergouzi from the county seat is already suspicious. Looking at Li Wenquan's appearance, it might be even worse.
She kept praying in her heart that this place must not be a battlefield.
She also knows that this is not something you think about.
After eating, the two children played on the kang by themselves. Chen Miao lay on the head of the kang. Although he couldn't sleep, it was good to lie down and rest.
The sweet potatoes and yams are steamed in the big pot in the main room to light the fire and keep the house warm. If they really come over tonight, they can eat some sweet potatoes.
The firewood was burning outside, and I would go over there from time to time to take a look. The fire would cease when it got dark, and mother and son ate porridge and salted duck eggs for three nights.
The steamed sweet potatoes and yams were taken out of the pot, and then the mother lay down to sleep.
The two children peed in the middle of the night, and Chen Miao did it with half-open eyes. She was really tired.
When I woke up the next day, I felt much more relaxed. Li Wenquan didn't come over last night. So it doesn't matter when he comes over, forget it. The things can come at any time.
When they got up in the morning, Yun Shan and Yun Xin wanted to go out to play. Chen Miao packed up and went out with her two children.
She wouldn't give it to her son for his birthday yesterday. The child is too young and unstable now, and she's afraid. It's already the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, and tomorrow is Laba Festival, so she will eat Laba porridge.
It's too cold outside. But it can't stop the children.
There are still many children practicing their accuracy under the big willow tree.
Chen Miao watched her two children blending in among the children.
At this time, two young wives came over, "Chen Miao?"
"Second sister-in-law, third aunt." Chen Miao greeted with a smile.
"Are you bringing your children to play?"
"Yes, I'm too old to stay at home. I have to go out in such a cold weather."
"Aren't all children like this? They are still young. When they get older, you don't have to come out and follow them."
"Yeah, what are you going to do?"
"It's okay. I went out for a walk, my hands hurt from grinding corn all day."
Chen Miao also knew that he didn't grind his corn, so he didn't wait to eat it. Ordinary people have to eat every day, so of course they have to wait for the rice to be cooked.
I was alone with two little ones, and they were part of a large family, maybe more than twenty people. Even though there was a lot of land, so many people had to eat, and the amount they ate every day was staggering.
The two of them stood beside Chen Miao, not planning to go anywhere else. They just didn't want to work at home and just came out for a while.
"Chen Miao, your two children are so good. There was also a sister-in-law in my natal village who gave birth to two children, but only one was left."
"Life is not good now, nutrition is not enough." Chen Miao sighed.
"Isn't that right? The baby didn't have any milk at all when he was born, so he was given cereal or cornmeal. I heard from my mother that the baby who didn't have it had a bulging belly and was very hard."
"That means indigestion." Chen Miao felt uncomfortable after hearing this. But that's how it is in this era.
