When Uncle Niu came back with Qin Guoqing, Li Huan gave Uncle Niu a basket of food and asked him to go back first. Most of the food was for Zhao Guoliang and his wife, and the other half was for him. Of course, there was the meat floss that he missed day and night.
.
"Little ruffian, how much does this food cost?"
"Uncle Niu, wait until I get back. I'm busy with other things now, so you can go back first."
Uncle Niu nodded repeatedly, got on the bullock cart, and left shouting. Although the little ruffian and Cheng Qiao didn't say what they were doing, he knew it. It was great, and he could have a sip of soup in the back.
Qin Guoqing wanted to sleep after eating. In order to pick up Cheng Liguo earlier, he had not slept for two consecutive nights and was very tired.
"Go to bed first, but the kang is still cold. You can sleep in my father-in-law's room first."
As soon as Cheng Qiao and the others arrived at the house, they first burned the kang in the second room. The outer courtyard had not yet been burned, but fortunately they had hot water heated up, which allowed Qin Guoqing to wash his face and feet and sleep like this.
Feel comfortable.
Qin Guoqing refused. He hadn't taken a shower in several days, and he didn't want to dirty Cheng Liguo's house. The Kang would be cold if it was cold, and it would be hot after a while.
By the time Li Huan heated up the whole room, Qin Guoqing was already snoring. Li Huan smiled and shook his head. This kid is so hard-working, I don't know how he was raised.
"What a coincidence, our children must be able to endure hardships in the future. Only by enduring hardships can they become great people."
Cheng Qiao rolled her eyes. She didn't agree with this concept. There were so many people who endured hardships, but a few could become masters.
Li Huan took Cheng Qiao to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy food. Cheng Liguo had nothing to do and began to check the van. You must know that Cheng Qiao and little Cheng Li will be taken with you on the way back. There must be no problem with the car.
First, I removed the oil drum from the car, opened the fuel tank and filled it with oil. Then I checked the brake pads and found that the brake pads were newly replaced.
If this were the case, Cheng Liguo would no longer need to inspect it. Even the brake pads had been replaced. This car must have been inspected before going out.
There were only three seats in the front of the van, and the back was empty. When preparing to store supplies, Cheng Liguo was cautious and placed a large backpack behind the seats, which was filled with things they needed to eat and use on the road.
When Cheng Qiao and Li Huan came back, Skinny Monkey happened to pull a cart of corn kernels over. They had just been harvested and had not yet been ground into powder.
"Qin Guoqing is here, this guy is one day early."
"That's it. Then I'll go pick up the goods and there'll be a truckload of rice."
"No need, Cheng Qiao is also going this time, and he's taking little Cheng Li with him. There's too much stuff for people to sit down."
"ah……"
Shouhou looked at Cheng Qiao in surprise, but his mind quickly turned around. After all, they were a father and a daughter. Of course, the daughter was worried that her father would not have enough food, shelter, or warmth, so it was normal for her to go and see him.
"Don't take little Cheng Li with you. It's so far away and the conditions there are very difficult."
"No, let the little guy see the hard place. Besides, neither of us will feel at ease if little Cheng Li is not by Cheng Qiao's side."
Yes, mother and child are also connected. I really hope that my daughter-in-law will give birth to the child soon so that he can also contribute a share of fatherly love.
While there was still time, Cheng Qiao not only made a sumptuous lunch and dinner, but also made a dozen portions of food for the road and put them in the space. She also brought a kerosene stove so that she would not be afraid of not being able to eat in the cold weather.
Hot rice and hot water.
He even steamed a lot of custard and put it in the space. Little Cheng Li had to eat a bowl of custard every day. Anyway, he kept it in the space and let Cheng Liguo take cover when the time came.
Qin Guoqing slept all day and all night. When he woke up, it was already the morning of the next day. He had breakfast, packed up supplies, and was ready to set off.
Qin Guoqing took out 5,000 yuan and handed it to Cheng Qiao. Now an average of 5,000 yuan is spent on these supplies every month. The sick patients have received nutrition and their bodies have recovered quickly.
Moreover, they can also transfer the excess materials to those in special need and slowly earn back some capital, so that a steady stream of capital can be replenished.
Now, people from several fraternal units have been keeping an eye on their area, and they all want to get a piece of the pie. Fortunately, the old man is very brave and has to go back.
"Sister-in-law, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you have to go, too."
When Qin Guoqing saw Cheng Qiao holding little Cheng Li to get into the car, he was so shocked that he couldn't even speak. How could Cheng Qiao and little Cheng Li survive such a long journey, sleeping in the open air, with delicate skin and tender flesh?
"Let's go. My daughter's temper is as stubborn as a donkey. I can't persuade her at all. If you let her go once, she won't come back next time."
Qin Guoqing was filled with admiration and quickly opened the car door to let Cheng Liguo, Cheng Qiao and others get in the car.
"Qiao, take good care of yourself and your son. Dad, I leave my wife and son to you."
Li Huan reluctantly held the hands of Cheng Qiao and little Cheng Li, hoping that Cheng Qiao would suddenly regret it and stop talking, but he knew that this hope was too slim.
The car started slowly. Looking at the car getting further and further away, Li Huan felt very uncomfortable. How would he live without Cheng Qiao's company?
"You are not allowed to go up the mountain, you must remember this."
Cheng Qiao shouted one last time and rolled up the car window. Otherwise, the cold wind would blow in and little Cheng Li would be the first to be unable to bear it.
She took out three hot water bottles, gave one to Cheng Liguo, put one in little Cheng Li's cotton-padded jacket, and placed the other on Qin Guoqing's lower back, so that it would not be too hot but would be warm through the clothes.
Qin Guoqing was driving much slower because Cheng Qiao and the others were there, but he was guaranteed food and drink along the way. He was extremely happy especially when he saw Cheng Qiao actually using a kerosene stove to heat rice and vegetables.
He had been chewing on cold steamed buns along the way. The steamed buns were still made of flour, but there was no other way to freeze them into ice lumps. He could only use them as a way to exercise his teeth.
"Beef rice, my God, sister-in-law, how can you still make such a delicious meal?"
Qin Guoqing held the rice box and ate the fragrant beef rice, tears of joy were about to come out. It would be great if Cheng Qiao could be in the car every time he ran long distances.
"On National Day, when you get to the Hexi Corridor, I'll give you this kerosene stove. You won't have to eat cold food when you run long distances in the future."
Cheng Qiao directly gave the kerosene stove to Qin Guoqing. Qin Guoqing was so moved that he could no longer speak. Cheng Qiao laughed. In fact, she had better gas and gas tanks in her space, but she did not dare to take them out.
On the seventh day, the car entered a winding mountain road. This is a winding mountain road with 22 sharp turns. The lanes are very narrow and the curves are very sharp. You must drive carefully.
"Sister-in-law, it's quick. There are still eight turns to go. You should overcome it."
Cheng Qiao had already put little Cheng Li to sleep. The little guy slept soundly and didn't feel any discomfort at all. However, a sudden brake woke him up.
"Wow...wow..."
Little Cheng Li was so frightened that he started to cry, but Cheng Qiao felt a chill in her heart.
