Chapter 94: School starts, leaving home(1/2)
Sister-in-law Wu didn't say a word to her daughter when she took her child to the county town. Because she looked bad, even a few people in the car who could be considered acquaintances didn't speak to her.
Zhang Jing made countless phone calls to Yang Binbin in the car, but there was no response every time. She sent one message after another, but all of them seemed to be lost in the sea. She knew that Yang Binbin had probably blocked her, so there was no response.
She was filled with hatred, so resentful that her chest felt like it was being pressed and she could hardly breathe. She didn't dare to cry. Her eyes became wet again and again, and she tried to hold back the tears.
It was past nine o'clock when the bus arrived at the county seat. The sun was shining brightly, and the ground was getting a little hot. The heat was rising day by day.
Sister-in-law Wu called an environmentally friendly tricycle and went straight to the hospital. She did not go to the county hospital or the Women's Health Care Center, fearing that if she met an acquaintance or was seen by people from neighboring villages, the news about Zhang Jing's pregnancy would be spread.
Everyone knew about it, so I went to a private hospital.
After registering and queuing up for the B-ultrasound, Zhang Jing's face turned pale when she got the test sheet. It clearly said early pregnancy, about 8 weeks, and the fetal development was normal.
Sister-in-law Wu's whole face was black, so she went to the doctor to order an abortion, and she went for a painless abortion.
That kind of Zhang Jing was pushed into the operating room and lay on the cold operating table. Fear came over her like a tide, and she kept sobbing nervously.
The painless abortion only takes three to five minutes to complete, and it only takes about 20 minutes with anesthesia. The operation is over quickly, and anti-inflammatory injections are administered.
After the operation, Zhang Jing collapsed immediately and was helped out of the operating room by a nurse. Sister-in-law Wu accompanied her in the infusion room with a gloomy face to give her an injection. After injecting anti-inflammatory drops, she took the medicine and left the hospital without stopping.
Sister-in-law Wu was so angry that her daughter had embarrassed her that she still didn't treat her well. She bought something on the street and took it for lunch, then went straight to the station to catch the 11:30 train back to Jiudao.
When Sister-in-law Wu and Zhang Jing were waiting for the eleven o'clock bus to return to their hometown, Zhou Qiufeng drove a tricycle to Shennong Mountain. She received a call from Lele in the middle of the morning, and Lele said that she would be able to leave the mountain in the afternoon.
From this, Zhou Qiufeng went home without saying a word, made some food first, fed the piglets and chickens, and then drove immediately to Shennong Mountain to pick up the child.
The beginning of autumn is also the peak travel season in Shennong Mountain. There are cars and people on every route. Zhou Qiufeng also picked up two dizzy foreign tourists on the way and drove them to a main road in Bancun, Shennong Mountain, and let them
Go wait for a passing tour bus.
And she drove on by herself. At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Qiufeng arrived at the intersection where she sent Lele into the mountain yesterday. She didn't stop, but continued to drive forward. After turning around a mountain, she saw a mountain pass in the distance.
There were some things piled up at the intersection where we were going, and there was a person looking under the tree beside the road.
Leyun stood by the tree at the intersection, looking down from time to time. She had good eyesight. When Zhou Qiufeng came out, she could see it from a long distance away.
She waited for a short while. Yesterday she went up the mountain and actually went into the mountain. It only took half a day to cross a ridge and reach the mountains behind. She searched for mushrooms and herbs for half a day and then hid them in a space until this afternoon.
Find the right time to go down the mountain.
Classmate Le had chosen a good place. The road leading into the mountains led to a village where people still lived. It would not be surprising if she appeared at the intersection and was seen by others.
Emerging from the ridge, she took out all the things she had packed last night and piled them under the tree. While waiting, many people stopped and asked her if she wanted a ride, but she declined.
Seeing the new mother coming, Le Yun ran out of the shade of the tree and stood in the sun waving. Zhou Qiufeng saw the child running in the sun, driving very fast, and when approaching, he hurriedly adjusted his head before getting out of the car.
There are several bags placed under the tree. Two woven bags are obviously filled with watermelons, because there is a small tear in one place, and the green skin of the melon can be seen; there are also two woven bags, one of which is also bulging.
There were items, one bag was made of strips, and there were several large plastic food bags, all of which were bulging. There was also a bag that was opened to let air, and a big bag of mushrooms.
"Lele, you picked up pine cone fungus again." Zhou Qiufeng couldn't help but sweat when she saw the big bag of fresh mushrooms.
Turkey tail mushrooms are expensive, but not as expensive as pine nut mushrooms. Pine nut mushrooms cost 70 to 80 yuan per pound, while dried ones cost at least 5 to 600 pounds.
There are many pine and oak trees in Jiudao Township and Shennong Mountain, and the pine nut fungus is rare in number. It is rare for someone to be lucky enough to pick it up. Some people travel all over the mountains and ridges, and they may not be able to pick up a pound of pine nuts in one autumn.
Lele has gone into the mountains several times. Including this time, he has picked up pine nut fungi four times. I don’t know how jealous he would be if he let others know about it.
"Hmm, I've always been very lucky. I'll have a good meal when I go home at night." Le Yun raised her head proudly. She had plug-in space in her hands. Matsutake mushrooms were mass-produced and she could have them anytime she wanted.
Little Lele's triumphant look looked like a big rooster that had won a fight. Zhou Qiufeng found it quite funny. He went to move things into the car, but to avoid damaging the watermelon, he went to the roadside to grab a few straw mats away from people's eyes.
I put the things in the truck compartment and put them securely. I also folded a few branches and weeds to cover the surface to prevent them from getting burned by the sun.
Leyun climbed onto the side of the car and opened an umbrella to cover herself and the germs. Zhou Qiufeng drove home, beeping loudly.
When Dad Le came home from get off work, he was leaning on crutches. He washed and cooked rice first, then fed the pigs, chickens and ducks, and washed the vegetables. It was almost dark and no one had come back. He was worried about safety and could not help but feel a little anxious.
He looked around for more than a dozen times and saw that the sky was gray and numb. Finally he saw Zhou Qiufeng coming back.
Driving to the front of the house, he followed behind with one foot high and one foot low.
Zhou Qiufeng parked the car and moved things into the house. Leyun stuffed a bag of mushrooms into her father's hand: "Dad, this is the most expensive thing. I leave it to you."
Dad Le was carrying a bag weighing only three or four kilograms. He was very... very blushing. He was a big man and could only do light work every time. How embarrassing!
He took the bag and went to the house to get a bamboo sieve, poured the mushrooms out to dry, and then went to see what the girl had brought back.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Throwing the lightest bag to her father, Le Yun twisted up a few plastic bags and placed them on the wooden bench in the living room. Then she turned around and hugged a bag of watermelon with one hand and twisted it with the other.
Bag tomatoes, walking as fast as flying, took the things to the refrigerator room, opened the bag, took out the watermelon and put it on the ground, and poured out the tomatoes to let it breathe.
Zhou Qiufeng first moved the watermelon bag, and then moved the bag containing the strips. She also opened the bag and took the things out for ventilation.
There are only eleven watermelons, but there are quite a few tomatoes, and there are quite a few cucumbers in a bag.
"Lele, did you get it from the old man again?" Seeing the things that the girl brought back, Le's father wiped his face with a guilty conscience. Didn't the little cotton-padded jacket say that the old man's things were ruined, so why did he bring so many things back?
"Yeah, yeah, that's right. The old man knew that I was going to Beijing to study, so he gave me most of what he planted. He only kept three watermelons for himself to eat, and he also helped me carry the things down the mountain. Oh, dad, you
My little cotton-padded jacket’s character has exploded!”
Dad Le was very embarrassed and felt that the little cotton-padded jacket was like a robber.
Le Yun didn't care whether her father was scared or not. She gathered up the scattered tomatoes with a smile: "I brought three watermelons, several kilograms of tomatoes and cucumbers to Beijing, and gave two watermelons to Boss Wu. I will eat a few at home.
Save it for when Grandma Zhou helps us look after the house."
Le's father and Zhou Qiufeng have no objection at all and let the girl arrange whatever she wants.
After arranging the things, Le Yun took a watermelon, washed it, put it on the table, and killed the melon with a knife. The skin of the watermelon cracked open, and the sweet and sweet smell wafted out.
Dad Le and Zhou Qiufeng felt their throats were dry and swallowed quietly.
After a few cuts, the watermelon was cut into segments. Le Yun first held two pieces and placed them in front of the incense tablet to offer sacrifices to her grandfather and grandma. She then gave one piece to her father and new mother, and one piece to herself.
Dad Le and Zhou Qiufeng picked up the watermelon, chewed it, and took two bites. Their eyes were lit up like torches. This watermelon was so delicious, sweeter than anything they had eaten before!
The two of them ate one piece, took another piece, finished eating, wiped their mouths, and went to dinner happily.
School is about to start, and the girl has to leave home to go to another place. Le's father is particularly reluctant to let it go, and Zhou Qiufeng is also reluctant to let it go. She just married the Le family and gets along very well with the children. Now they are about to be separated again. Thinking about it, she feels a little empty. Therefore, the two of them can't wait to leave.
Give the best to your children, kill a chicken or duck every other day, make delicious food every day, and try to let your children eat more domestic chickens and ducks. After all, it is difficult to eat native chicken in the capital.
Classmate Le ate the watermelon and brought a package of the twisted medicine into the room. He poured the yam and lily slices into a sieve and moved them to the second floor for storage.
The next day is August 25th. Some of the students who took the college entrance examination that year have already set off to report in new places. The reporting time of universities in various provinces in China is not consistent. Some students register in late August, while others have to wait until September.
That day was also classmate Le's last day at home. Le's father went to work, and Zhou Qiufeng stayed at home to dry things and see if the child needed help with packing.
Classmate Le sent away her domineering father and went upstairs to take the yams and lilies out to dry. In fact, they were half-dried during the few days they went into the mountains in the middle of the month, and now they still need to be dried again.
What makes her happiest is that she has a father and a new mother at home who don't ask questions about anything. Even if she gets back a lot of things, sometimes they don't seem to make sense, but they won't get to the bottom of it.
Only with two parents who didn't ask anything, Mr. Le dared to often steal food from the house. Sometimes he also stole medicinal materials, dried them in the sun, hid them, and replaced them with others to dry, and even some
The medicine never seems to dry up.
Of course, these were hidden from the two adults, because Lefu and Zhou Qiufeng usually did not go upstairs unless they were drying things. It was evening or night when they went upstairs, and they did not see them.
Dry your things, pack your luggage, move everything out, and see what you need to take to the capital.
Zhou Qiufeng quietly went to get a new suitcase and a small cross-body backpack and handed them to the child. She helped buy them. She was very thoughtful and was afraid that Lele would go to the capital to study and there would be too much stuff and the suitcase would not be enough.
She specially prepared a towbar suitcase for Lele. She knew that Lele did not have a small backpack or other bags, so she also bought a small backpack that can be used on both shoulders and on both shoulders, which can be used at any time.
daily necessities, and can also be used to hold books when attending school.
Because she couldn't help, she stood aside and watched to see what Lele had brought, what else he would need to get to the capital, and how much it would cost.
Le classmate packed up clothes, down jackets, mid-length jackets, jeans, and spring, summer, and autumn clothes. They were all bought during discounts on the street, especially summer T-shirts, many of which cost ten yuan a piece. Zhou Qiufeng also helped buy them.
New clothes, clothes, shoes and necessary daily necessities fill a suitcase
The other box contains several large packages of dried yam and lily slices, as well as a package of dried mushrooms and a package of pills made last time. The empty space is reserved for taking to the capital when you get on the train at the station.
Stuff your suitcase with watermelons and the like.
Pack everything up neatly, and then stuff the toothbrush, toothpaste, towel, comb, mask, small flashlight, mobile phone, power bank, etc. that you need in the car into your backpack. In this way, your luggage for Beijing is basically determined.
When Le's dad came home in the evening, Boss Wu grabbed him again and made an appointment where he would wait for him tomorrow morning. Le's dad kept it in his heart, feeling very sad along the way, as his caring little cotton-padded jacket would be leaving for a long journey tomorrow.
Dad Le originally thought that the family of three could have some family fun that night, but who knows, as soon as he drove home, Brother Zhou, Grandma Zhou, and Mr. and Mrs. Cheng Youde each brought chicken and meat, and came to Le's house for a celebratory drink.
.
Zhou Qiufeng originally slaughtered a chicken, but when guests came to see her child off, she felt that one chicken was not enough, so she slaughtered another chicken and was busy making dinner.
Le Yun went to wash a watermelon, cut it into segments, and served it to the table to entertain the neighborhood elders. Brother Zhou and the others ate the watermelon, and were particularly surprised. Where did Lele find the watermelon?
Zhou Qiufeng cooked a sumptuous dinner for the guests. Everyone was sweating profusely after eating, and they were so happy. When it was time to go home, Brother Zhou gave a red envelope: "I didn't buy Lele anything to eat, so I'll give you a small red envelope. Lele
Enjoy buying something to eat in the car."
"Brother Zhou, why are you so embarrassed?" Dad Le looked at the thick red envelope and was embarrassed to accept it.
"Are you sorry? Your girl is also my nephew, so I should give my niece a red envelope." Brother Zhou gave the red envelope to Dad Le and gave his mother a hand.
Grandma Zhou also put the red envelope into Yueqing's hand: "This is for the children. I am old and can't buy things. It's too hot today and it's hard to bring eggs in the car. I haven't cooked them either."
"Yueqing, this is our little gift for Lele. This belongs to my dad. My dad was picked up by my sister a few days ago and is not at home." Cheng Youde and Sister-in-law Liu also gave a big red envelope.
Dad Le received the red envelope, his eyes were burning, and he and Zhou Qiufeng saw off the guests. Le Yun ran to the refrigerator room, packed five or six cucumbers and a few tomatoes, and one watermelon for each family, and chased after them to let them take them home to eat.
