The old couple were grinding corn, and they were a little surprised when they saw their daughter coming in. Didn't they say they couldn't come back?
"Dad, Mom, I'm pregnant. The old Taoist didn't let me go on the mountain. I was afraid of any danger, so I came home."
"Are you OK?"
"It's good, nothing happened."
Liang Caixia put down the corn cob in her hand and got down on the kang. "You get on the kang, and I'll ask your third aunt to come over and show you."
"Mom, I'm going to the county town and a medical clinic later. There's no need to call me third aunt."
"What are you doing in the county town?"
Chen Miao sat on the kang and started rubbing corn while talking about rescuing people. "There are still forty-three and a half boys at home. Uncle Shen went to find Comrade Li and they went to the guerrillas."
Chen Dongsheng sighed, "You were lucky enough to save them. They were stolen out at such a young age that they don't even remember their own home."
"No, I almost cried when I saw them. It was so miserable. They were so thin that they had no human shape. Each of them had a hunchback. They were tired from working for a long time."
"If you have a few bags of corn at home, push them back first, and you have to eat."
Chen Miao shook her head, "Mom, I got a lot of money. This time I plan to let them bring food to the guerrillas. Talk to Comrade Li about giving them some food. They are still young and they are growing up. They must be raised back. Otherwise, you will end up with something wrong in the future."
"There are many people in the village who want to sell food."
"Dad, Shen Jianchun went to help me organize things. I'll go back soon. If anyone wants to sell grain, send it to me."
The old couple also went back with their daughter to have a look.
After seeing these half-grown children, I felt sad. Human traffickers really deserve to be cut to pieces.
"There are cabbages and radishes in the cellar." Liang Caixia told her daughter before leaving. She really couldn't stand it. Everyone has children, and it hurts to see such children.
When they went out, they saw two families bringing corn.
After saying a few words, the couple went home, "You will bring two baskets of sweet potatoes when you go back. Those children should want to eat them."
"Okay," my wife is a hard-spoken person with a soft heart.
Katsuko and the others helped with the work, and the corn was placed in the yard.
Shen Jianchun came over and said, "Brother, please help me count the houses. You can remember the number of houses. I'll go to the county seat."
"Ask your sister-in-law to go with you."
Chen Miao shook her head, "No, let my sister-in-law cook for them at my house."
"How are you going?"
"My father is driving to see me off, and all the accounts will be settled when I come back."
"Zhong, I understand."
"Shengzi, can you guys grind the noodles? Do you know how to use a roller?"
"My benefactor, we can do it. Don't worry, we'll grind the noodles right away."
I was touched knowing that the food was prepared for them. I had forgotten what happened when I was a child, but I thought that this was the case for my family, right?
"I'll push a few bags to my house at once. It's faster if there are more people than two rollers."
"Yes, it saves trouble to just take the cornmeal away." I was afraid that I wouldn't have time to grind the cornmeal when I got to the station.
Chen Dongsheng drove over with two baskets of sweet potatoes in the car.
Chen Miao smiled. In fact, people are kind. When they have the ability, they will still help when someone is in trouble.
"Dad, wait a minute, I'll steam the sweet potatoes." There are many people, and someone makes a fire. Let them eat when they are cooked. The sweet potatoes are sweet and they should all like to eat them. This time I came back and brought back two bags of sugar, so they can improve it.
"You can go to Xiaofeng's house, I'll just steam it."
"That's okay, brother, just let them work."
"No, let them rest."
"Sweet potatoes will satisfy their cravings. Brother, ask if anyone sells them and buy me some."
Chen Miao was wearing a coat and hat, but she didn't dare to catch a cold.
When they arrived outside the city, "Dad, please go back. It's not convenient to drive in. Besides, we don't know when we will come."
"You must be careful and go to the hospital for a checkup." She was still worried about her daughter's health.
"I know, I'll go to the hospital first."
Chen Miao watched her father drive away before entering the city. When she arrived at the hospital, there were many people today, and Chen Miao sat aside and waited.
Almost all the people who are willing to come to the medical center are living a good life at home. The country people will endure even if they are sick and are not willing to spend the money.
When it was her turn, the doctor took her pulse and said, "There should be two boys in her belly."
Chen Miao was stunned for a moment. She felt that there was a girl in her belly, or two boys?
"Thank you, doctor."
"It's okay, don't worry, you are in good health."
"Okay, the doctor will prescribe some medicine for my injuries, both external and internal."
"No." She said and glanced at Chen Miao. She immediately understood that they should be controlling their medical clinic, right?
Chen Miao had no choice but to pay ten yuan of medical fees and leave.
This place is close to Cloth Shop. She came in and was greeted by the waiter, "Sister-in-law, our shopkeeper said you are here and asked me to take you to see him."
Chen Miao knew that the shopkeeper he was talking about was Xiao Nan's father, so he nodded and followed the waiter into the backyard.
"My niece is here, sit down quickly."
"Uncle, hasn't Xiao Nan come back yet?"
"Not yet, it should be soon. When will you come back?"
"Last night, uncle, gave me five hundred pounds of cotton and matching thick cloth to make a quilt."
"Xiao Wu, go get ready."
They were the only two left in the study room. "Girl, why are you carrying so much luggage?"
"I packed up a group of human traffickers and rescued more than 40 half-year-old children. I don't have that much luggage at home. They will definitely leave in the future and I can take them with me when the time comes."
"You're such a smart girl."
Chen Miao shook his head, "There is no way. They were all stolen when they were very young. I don't even remember them. Let's take care of them for a while."
"You." Most people will hide their money and live a good life by themselves, but this girl spends so much money every time and has nothing of her own.
"Uncle, won't it be next year before Xiao Nan goes there again?"
"Well, his wife is about to give birth, so it's better not to go out. If you buy too much, you'll be tried. There's no need."
Chen Miao nodded, indeed, if it doesn't work, it will be confiscated, and no one is willing to pay or not.
"I won't pass this year either."
"Okay, Xiao Nan comes back to see you."
"I also want to meet Xiao Nan. If he goes there before me next year and takes some people with him, too many people will be needed to farm the land there."
"Okay, let him find you when he comes back, and you can tell him directly."
"Uncle, the cotton is going to be sent out of the city for me. Be ready and wait for my news. I have something else to do."
"Well, OK, if it doesn't work, I'll ask them to drive you back."
Chen Miao thought about it. The waiter and Xiao Nan went to his house so that he could make a few quilts today.
"Well, that's best. I have something else to do here."
"Be careful."
Chen Miao understood, "Okay. Uncle, you are busy and I have left."
Xiao Nan's father came out and asked the waiter to take someone with him to deliver the goods.
Chen Miao had already settled the bill without waiting. She had absolute faith in the Xiao family and her character was beyond words.
