Chen Miao thought that Li Wenquan was still a male chauvinist.
It was almost dark when the two got home. Chen Jiang looked at the third sister who got off the car and breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried about them all day and couldn't do anything.
"Wait a minute, Comrade Chen, this is the cloth I bought."
Chen Miao thought about it and took it, then handed Li Wenquan a bunch of copper coins, "Thank you, Comrade Li."
Li Wenquan waved his hand and drove away without taking the money.
Chen Miao did not think about returning it to Li Wenquan in the future.
"Third sister, how is the county?"
"It's just that the inspection at the door was too strict and there was nothing inside. It's also because I didn't go anywhere."
"Third sister, I've made porridge. You can eat while I go back."
"Can you just eat here?"
"No, I'm leaving."
Chen Miao didn't force him to keep it. The porridge and noodles left after he was full would be delicious in pancakes tomorrow.
Today was a very tiring day, so I had no dreams all night. When I woke up the next day, it was still the same repetitive work, but the happiest thing was that the ducks also laid eggs.
Salted duck eggs, my mouth is watering just thinking about them, no, I have to eat them for lunch.
We are picking small cotton peaches. The small ones will not grow even after autumn. If we pick them now, we can save nutrients.
"Third sister, third sister."
Chen Miao agreed and came out in the cotton field. "Why are you so impatient?"
"Third sister, Comrade Li is going to take a few people from the village to find the little devil."
"Looking for it?"
"Yes, that's what Comrade Li said."
"without you?"
Chen Jiang was a little frustrated, "No."
"It'll be just fine without you. You help me make the corn coops."
"Third sister, we'll do it later, I'll go see them now."
Chen Miao had no objection. She didn't want him to go, but this was a personal matter for him. He was still young, so it was better not to take risks.
Continue working and throw the picked cotton peaches on the ground. The cotton buds have a special smell and the animals don't like to eat them.
After everything was done, I went back to cook.
This time the pancake still contains minced meat and green onions, so it's still delicious even without vegetables.
Chen Jiang ran in and smelled the fragrance, and swallowed in vain.
Chen Miao asked him to have dinner with him.
"Third sister, I have eaten."
"Eat more, there's meat in it today, it's delicious."
Chen Jiang said he still ate three pancakes. "It's so delicious."
Chen Miao ate a pancake and a bowl of porridge, and Chen Jiang took care of her without refusing. She lay on the kang to rest. Now her belly was much bigger, and it was difficult to squat down. Today, she had to kneel down to make the fire. This was really
Too uncomfortable.
"Third sister, Comrade Li and the others left. This time Xiao Song wanted to go, but Comrade Li didn't want him. Daqiang and the others said it was all because of Xiao Song. Otherwise, they could have dealt with a few more kidnappers, and Comrade Li would not have been hurt.
"
"Chen Jiang, don't talk about this kind of thing to others. Just know it yourself. Think about it, if something bad happened to you, would you be happy if others said it?
As long as you know what kind of person he is, just don't approach him when there is danger in the future."
Chen Miao knew that this was a bit selfish, but she must pay attention to such things, after all, it was a major matter related to life.
"Third sister, everyone in the village knows now, but you don't know yet."
"Now that you know it, it's even more important not to talk about it. Talking about things is not what a man should do."
Chen Jiang nodded, "I understand, I won't tell others."
"Third sister, this time Comrade Li left with six people, all carrying guns and bullets. Tell the village chief that the village cannot relax,"
Chen Miao nodded. This is good. It should be what he saw in the county yesterday. In fact, it is not a good thing to take the initiative like this. He has no combat experience, but this is not what he can say. In the future, he must be younger before giving birth to children.
Honestly.
Yesterday, the old doctor said that he might be able to give birth in November, which doesn't take long. He just wanted to be safe for the sake of himself and the baby.
Chen Jiang didn't sleep either. He stayed for a while and ran away.
Chen Miao started making quilts after she woke up. She really couldn't make them after her belly got too big.
The adobe house was short and dark, so it couldn't be seen well even in the daytime. Fortunately, as long as it could be built, it was not for the new daughter-in-law.
Today's fabrics are narrow and can only be spliced together. Fortunately, there are portable sewing machines like those in supermarkets.
Chen Miao had a smile on her face, and her life was pretty good. Without the golden finger, it would have been very hard to survive here.
Prepare to make two quilts. If the winter is too cold, build two more quilts.
I made a quilt and felt quite uncomfortable in my stomach.
It seems like everything has to be moved forward, which makes me a little depressed just thinking about it. There are so many tasks after autumn.
This big belly is too inconvenient. If that man didn't have anything to do with me, I would be more comfortable being single than I am now.
However, I feel quite lonely when I am alone. With my children by my side, I can look forward to my days.
After tidying up and opening the door, the chickens, ducks, and geese also came back. Our livestock is very good, and we can pick up four eggs every day. It seems that no more eggs are being laid outside.
After the little donkey is fed, he doesn't want to cook, but he has to light a fire, otherwise he won't be comfortable sleeping. He drinks milk to sleep after taking a bath.
I heard a knock on the door in the middle of the night and was so scared that I almost peed my pants. Because of my big belly, I had to go to the toilet more often. Didn't being frightened like this mean I almost peed?
The knocking on the door became more and more urgent. Chen Miao had no choice but to put away the bedding. Fortunately, the old bedding was aside.
He put on his clothes and went out. "Who is it?"
"Chen Miao, I am your fifth uncle. Do you still have your bruise medicine?"
"Comrade Li and the others are back. Da Biao and Dayong were injured. Comrade Li helped take out the bullets. There is no medicine."
"Uncle Wu, wait a minute. I bought medicine from the county town. I told the doctor that I often go up the mountain and I will get injured. They prescribed it to stop bleeding and relieve pain. I think it should be about the same. You'd better ask Comrade Li if he can use it."
.”
"Okay, you still have your heart."
Chen Miao went in and took out a large bag, "There are nine small bags in it, one for each meal, and three bowls of water boiled into one bowl of water."
Shen Wufu left in a hurry, and Chen Miao got on the kang and continued to lie down.
When they come back at this time, is it possible that the little devil is not far from here?
Chen Miao couldn't sleep now. She got up and put away everything. The chickens, ducks and geese were all in the baskets, and she put the donkey cart in the dark and drove to the village chief's house.
Shen Wufu came out, "Uncle Wu, ask Comrade Li if the Japs are not far from our place? I'm afraid. I want to go to the foot of the mountain."
"Be careful, I'll ask Jianlin to ask Chen Jiang to follow you."
"No, I can do it myself. Besides, I'm at the foot of the mountain."
