Chapter 31
Doudou and Xiaoshu had each other's company and had a great time, but after a few days, when they got up early in the morning, Xiaoshu had pimples all over his face.
"Mom." Doudou screamed and ran to the kitchen door to find Lin Qiao, and said to Xiao Shu, "You have pimples, don't wash your face yet."
Lin Qiao quickly put down the spoon to look at Xiao Shu, and saw that he was only wearing Wearing a red bellyband, there are red spots on the back of the hands, arms and face, and is about to ladle water into the washbasin to wash his face.
Lin Qiao grabbed his wrist: "Xiao Shu, let Auntie take a look."
"Auntie, I'm fine, it must have been a text message." Xiaoshu said.
"Before going to bed, my dad smoked the house with wormwood, and there were no mosquitos at all. You see, I didn't get bitten." Doudou said.
She squatted down and looked at Xiaoshu carefully, just when Gu Lin came back from carrying water, poured it into the water tank and said, "Doudou had eczema, did Xiaoshu also have eczema?" Lin Qiao looked carefully at the expression on Xiaoshu's face
. Red dots, really hard to distinguish, she took off Xiaoshu’s clothes again, saw the pimple on his back, and said, “It’s not eczema, it’s chickenpox.”
Xiaoshu’s chickenpox is not serious now, it’s not The kind that is shiny and shiny, many of them look like red spots.
She tilted her head and said to DouDou who was squatting on the side: "Stay away, chickenpox is contagious."
Thinking of the golden beans and steel irons growing cheeks, DouDou was extremely flexible, stood up and ran into the vegetable field.
"Xiaoshu, you can't scratch your face even if it's itchy." Lin Qiao said, she found the cloth bag that Doudou had used, and put it on Xiaoshu's hands.
"Then what about these two children?" Gu Lin asked.
"He doesn't have a fever yet," Lin Qiao touched Xiaoshu's forehead and said, "But he might have a fever if he has chickenpox, and he needs to take medicine. Maybe he will get worse during the day. I'd better take him by myself. Then What to do with Doudou, if I send it to Sister-in-law Meng and Sister-in-law Luo's house, I'm worried that Doudou will also get chickenpox and infect their children, so I send it to my elder brother. "
Gu Lin thought for a while and said, "I'll take Xiaoshu to the camp, and just play in my office. He eats with me in the cafeteria at noon, and I'll sleep in the office with Doudou at night." "Do you have a bed in your office?"
"
Yes A camp bed."
"Great, Dad, I haven't been to your camp yet." Doudou said.
Gu Lin said: "When I was still in Qingcheng, Doudou often went to my office to play."
Lin Qiao thought this idea was good, but she was a little worried: "Doudou will affect your work."
Gu Lin said: "No, DouDou I will read my military books quietly, just like reading heavenly books."
Doudou pouted, "I want to read."
"But I can't take Xiaoshu to the medical office, so I can only ask for leave." Lin Qiao explain.
The two children were separated immediately, Gu Lin took Doudou to eat in the house, Lin Qiao took Xiaoshu to eat in the yard, after dinner Gu Lin packed up the daily necessities and clothes and took Doudou to the camp, Lin Qiao took Xiaoshu to rest at home.
"I don't know how many days I will stay in the camp. Mom, I will miss you." Doudou said obediently.
DouDou went to his father's new camp for the first time and was very happy. Seeing the uncles in white and neat military uniforms passing by in line, DouDou raised his head and said to Gu Lin: "Dad, the navy not only needs to protect the territorial integrity of the motherland, but also protects the integrity of the motherland. Protect the complete maritime rights and interests that originally belonged to our country."
Gu Lin looked at this little Douding who was three or four years old and couldn't pronounce correctly, and said in surprise: "You are so right, where did you hear it? I haven't told you."
"I just know." DouDou said.
"A child can be taught, you can understand it by reading the heavenly scriptures, right?" Gu Lin held Doudou's little hand, feeling the pride of being an old father.
"Mom will also read to me." Doudou said.
No matter which camp Doudou is in, he is the favorite of the group. Gu Lin asked him to stay in the shade of the training ground, sit on the pony and watch the soldiers training. When he finished his work and went to the training ground, he found a platoon of soldiers resting. There is a circle under the tree, and Doudou sits in it and talks about the mountains.
Gu Lin listened for a while, and found that DouDou was telling them about the Normandy landing, and the little guy was talking in high spirits.
Slurring sounds strenuous, but the soldiers still listened with gusto.
Seeing that Captain Gu was listening intently, some soldiers plucked up the courage to ask: "Captain, are you talking about all the historical facts?"
Gu Lin nodded proudly: "Yes, what he said is correct.
" They are literate, and they have to learn cultural knowledge well.
In the morning, Xiaoshu started to have a fever, but as long as the child does not have a severe fever, he will not calm down. The same is true for Xiaoshu. He is in good spirits and has been playing with Kongkong.
"Xiaoshu sit down, aunt will wipe your body to cool down." Lin Qiao said.
She wiped Xiaoshu's body with a warm towel, carefully avoiding the chicken pox.
Kong Kong watched from the side, it was very smart, it knew it at a glance, and next time it wrung out the towel to wipe the little tree, Lin Qiao watched from the side, reminding it to be lighter.
He even imitated Lin Qiao and tried Xiaoshu's forehead temperature with his hands.
"Wow, Kongkong can take care of people. Except that he can't speak, he really looks like a child." Xiaoshu said pleasantly.
"It's very smart, it can do everything, and it's also a member of our family." Lin Qiao said.
Lunch is very light, boiled rice noodles with vegetables, and a poached egg per person.
After lunch, just as he wanted Xiaoshu to take a nap, Meng Cidi brought a large bowl of mung bean soup, looked at Xiaoshu with pimples and said, "Lin Qiao, my brother-in-law said that Xiaoshu had chickenpox. I heard that mung bean soup It’s good for chickenpox, so I survived some, how is he doing now?”
Lin Qiao went to the kitchen to get her own bowl, poured the mung bean soup into it, and scooped up a small bowl for Xiaoshu. She said, "It's not serious. I think the chicken pox will get worse tomorrow. The fever should subside tomorrow. The day after tomorrow Maybe it will get better."
Seeing Xiaoshu playing with Kongkong, Meng Cidi said, "It seems that he is still in good spirits."
Lin Qiao said, "This is how the child is, as long as it is not particularly uncomfortable, he will not lie down."
She greeted Xiaoshu: "Come here. Have some mung bean soup, Aunt Meng made it specially for you."
Xiaoshu ran over and drank the sweet mung bean soup, with a smile on his face: "It's very sweet, thank you Aunt Meng." "
I added sugar, of course Delicious." Meng Cidi said with a smile.
The two were talking, when Fu Zhenhua hurriedly appeared at the door and said loudly, "Lin Qiao, my eldest brother's family has been poisoned, so I will tell them to come to the medical office, and Xu Haiou will give them sedatives." , They refused, and clamored to go back, Xu Haiou told me to come to you."
Refusal to take the medicine showed that she was still conscious, Lin Qiao must go to the medical clinic immediately, but what about Xiaoshu? If she had other illnesses, she would take Xiaoshu to the medical clinic, but chickenpox was contagious.
Or send Xiao Shu back to Big Brother!
She glanced at Xiaoshu, and before she could come up with a good solution, Meng Cidi said, "Lin Qiao, go, I won't go to the farm anymore, please take time off, and help you bring Xiaoshu this afternoon." Lin Qiao thought it was feasible, and
Xiaoshu I liked Meng Cidi very much at first, and said: "Okay, then I'll go to the medical office first."
Xiaoshu was very sensible: "Auntie, you go, I will stay at home with Auntie Meng, and I will be obedient."
Lin Qiao explained simply After a few words of precautions, she yelled towards the wall again: "Sister Luo."
Sister Luo hadn't gone to work yet, so she quickly responded.
Meng Cidi understood, and said, "Okay, Lin Qiao, hurry up, I'll ask Mrs. Luo for leave." After
talking for only a minute or two, Lin Qiao hurriedly walked towards the stockade with Fu Zhenhua, asking about the situation while walking.
Knowing that they had been suffering from vomiting and diarrhea for several days and did not have a fever or fainted, Lin Qiao asked: "Why don't you take the medicine? If you don't have money to pay for the medicine, the medical office can reduce the medicine fee." Fu Zhenhua said:
" Not only my eldest brother’s family, but also three or four other families were poisoned, and several other families refused to come, saying that it was the medicine given by the poisoner. Going to the hospital for injections and taking medicine will not cure the poison, but will only make it worse.”
Living on the island for such a long time, Lin Qiao has heard all kinds of rumors from the poison masters of the Li nationality, but they are only limited to hearsay. There is no poison teacher.
Because she didn't know much about poison masters and had never seen them before, Lin Qiao had reservations about poisoning.
Soon after walking to the medical point, Xu Haiou and Brother Fu Zhenhua stood in the yard, one wanted to leave, but the other stopped him insisting that he would take medicine to induce vomiting.
Seeing this, Fu Zhenhua became more and more anxious, raised her arms and shouted: "Brother, don't leave, you have been ill for several days, and it is even worse today, you must spit out the poison before you can leave." Seeing Lin Qiao
's Xu Haiou hurriedly greeted her: "Lin Qiao, please persuade them a few, they are obviously symptoms of poisoning, their spirits are not good, and they still refuse to take medicine."
Brother Fu's symptoms are relatively mild, and he said: "The two doctors It’s not that we don’t trust you, it’s that you don’t understand our poison masters in Lizhai, as long as their poisonous injections can only be more serious, we’d better go, now it’s important to find out who administered the poison.” This family is
stubborn Really, if Fu Zhenhua hadn't begged for help to let them come, they would definitely not come to the medical point.
In the room, brother Fu's son and father were lying on the diagnosis bed. The child's condition was the most serious. He was lying on the bed drowsy. Lin Qiao opened his eyelids to check, and asked about the symptoms. The ten-year-old child said He was already dazzled and things were blurry.
Lin Qiao persuaded: "Brother Fu, you are indeed poisoned. If your symptoms get worse today, you must take some medicine and spit out what you ate. Your son is young and his symptoms are the worst. You can't just leave like this.
" The whole family wanted to refute her, Lin Qiao immediately said: "What you are worried about is injections and western medicine. We use traditional Chinese medicine, which is prepared by ourselves with Chinese herbs collected from the mountains. Although it can't cure the poison, but the food you eat Spit it out, and your symptoms will improve."
This Chinese medicine was prepared by Lin Qiao himself, and it is especially effective in inducing vomiting, much better than pressing the throat, picking the eyes of the throat, or even sticking a tube into the stomach.
Hearing that Western medicine was used, Big Brother Fu's face showed a look of shake, and the three of them persuaded him again, and the family agreed to drink Chinese medicine to induce vomiting.
They all vomited outside the fence, Fu Zhenhua was in charge of cleaning them up after vomiting, Lin Qiao asked them to drink water non-stop, vomited again, and drank more water, and when they were almost vomited, they were given light salt water to prevent dehydration.
After tossing and tossing, Lin Qiao asked them to rest on the bed, and began to ask Brother Fu's family about their diet in recent days.
"It's the same as what you usually eat." Brother Fu talked about the grains and vegetables that are often eaten at home.
Lin Qiao first ruled out that there is a problem with drinking water. There are three wells near several villages, all of which are deep wells drilled by the army. The islanders now rely on these three wells for drinking water. If there is a problem with drinking water, it is unlikely that there are only a few households. Symptoms of poisoning appear.
Thinking of the aggravation of the poisoning situation today, Lin Qiao asked what he had for lunch, and Brother Fu said that he ate mushrooms picked from the mountain.
Lin Qiao asked: "Did you punch your eyes, pick poisonous mushrooms, or undercook them?"
Fu Zhenhua shook her head and said with certainty: "If someone else picked mushrooms, they might have holes in them. My elder brother's family ate mushrooms all from me." Dad picked it, and what I ate at noon today is red cloth fungus, it is absolutely impossible to admit that it is wrong, besides, the cooking time is about the same as before." Red cloth mushroom is
a kind of mushroom that local people often eat, red umbrella and white stem, very crispy, delicious delicious.
The locals can judge which mushrooms are edible since they were young, and they also have their own judgment methods. For example, the mushrooms growing on the trees are not poisonous, and the ones eaten by insects are not poisonous. If they are cooked with garlic, if the garlic turns black, it is poisonous. Not poisonous.
Although Lin Qiao thinks that these methods are not scientific, but if you don't use these methods to distinguish, there is only one way left, don't eat. It is absolutely impossible for people not to eat mushrooms.
Unable to find out why, Lin Qiao picked up the medicine box and wanted to go to the village to see the other two families after seeing that the condition of the few people was stable.
"Several houses are not far away, I will show you the way." Fu Zhenhua said.
Brother Fu's family couldn't stay at the medical point and said they wanted to go back to rest. Lin Qiao said, "That's fine. Anyway, we'll be in the village in the afternoon. If you still have symptoms, it's convenient for us." So Lin Qiao and Xu Haiou took the
medical Lock the door at the point, and everyone walks in the direction of the stockade together.
On the way, Lin Qiao and Fu Zhenhua asked the poisoned families if they had any trouble with anyone.
Fu Zhenhua thought for a while and said: "My eldest brother has a good temper. They have never blushed with anyone. The other three families have no enemies except for the two brothers named Hong who don't talk.
" Lin Qiao saw a saponin tree near the boat house, with chicken feathers, radishes, and four-corned beans growing sparsely. There was a basket beside the vegetable field, and there were mushrooms drying in it. The colors of the mushrooms were white, red, and brown. Quickly distinguish, they are all non-toxic and practical mushrooms.
The owner of the village was sitting on the steps smoking a hookah. Fu Zhenhua said, "Grandpa Li, the two doctors know that this family has been poisoned, so come and have a look." The
granddaughter of the owner of the village was delivered by Lin Qiao. He had a very good impression of Lin Qiao, and he trusted her very much. Now he got up and opened the door, and said, "You two doctors, they insisted that someone poisoned you. Quickly see what's going on. "
Lin Qiao can basically hear Li dialect now, and it is no problem to communicate with others simply, and said: "Let's go and see the patient's condition." A weak
voice in the room begged: "Master, you must be the master for us. , this matter needs to be investigated clearly, to find out who Poison Master is, and drive him out of the village."
The owner of the village did not expect Poison Master to be among the villagers in the village, and he felt uneasy, and his status was also threatened. She took a puff of the hookah and said, "Check, if we can really find out who drove him out of the island."
Lin Qiao thought it would be great if the village chief could take care of this matter, maybe he could find out more quickly.
"Sister-in-law, let's come in, the doctor is here to detoxify you." Fu Zhenhua said.
There were four members in the Lan family, and the grandmother had the most serious symptoms of poisoning, so she had to go through the treatment process that Fu's family had been given. She also encountered resistance. Lin Qiao and Xu Haiou persuaded the Lan family for a while before convincing the Lan family to cooperate.
Then I went to the other two families to observe the recovery of several families after inducing vomiting.
Fortunately, these people were not deeply poisoned.
Lin Qiao and Xu Haiou didn't leave Lizhai until it was dark. Xu Haiou's dormitory was at the medical office. She told several families that they could go to the medical office to call the door at night. Lin Qiao also said that they could go to her house to call the door.
In order to prevent another poisoning, Lin Qiao spent a lot of time before leaving, letting these families only eat the food they had at home, dried seafood, and vegetables grown next to the boathouse, and drink water from the pressurized well, and everything else Do not eat or drink.
Fu Zhenhua's old lady said mysteriously: "Doctor Lin, it's useless. It's impossible to know when and where the poison was injected."
Lin Qiao said noncommittally, "Grandma, we will definitely Find out the cause of the poisoning."
Grandma said: "Let's not mess with the poison master."
Fu Zhenhua said angrily: "What's wrong with the poison master, I know who poisoned it, and our families should unite and we must Drive him out of the island, and the owner of the village said he would drive him out of the island." "
You can't say that, shut up quickly." Granny shouted in worry and fear.
Fu Zhenhua took a dog and thankfully sent the two of them to the vicinity of the camp. At the fork in the road, Xu Haiou went back to the dormitory, and Lin Qiao went back to the courtyard.
Like Dou Dou, Xiao Shu was watching helplessly at the gate. When he saw Lin Qiao appearing at the corner, he called out to his aunt and ran over quickly.
Lin Qiao stretched out her arms to catch him, measured his forehead temperature, and said, "The little tree is still burning." The
temperature was the same as when he left, a little over thirty-eight degrees.
"Auntie, I don't feel bad." Xiaoshu said obediently.
"How could it not be uncomfortable?" Lin Qiao said.
Meng Cidi also waited at the door with her, and said: "There must be a sick person. You came back really late today. Xiaoshu took a nap in the afternoon, and the temperature has always been the same." "Auntie, Aunt Meng even wiped my hands.
" My face has cooled down." Lin Qiao said.
The three of them walked into the yard together, Lin Qiao said: "You can help me a lot today, some people in Lizhai have been poisoned, and they have been busy all afternoon. You must be better at taking care of the baby than my elder brother. I want to send Xiaoshu back When my elder brother is there, he himself will be in a hurry."
Meng Cidi blushed slightly, and said, "You are welcome, it is just a small favor, I have helped my second sister with the baby before, so I am not particularly unfamiliar. I will make dinner Well, Xiaoshu needs to eat something light, so I made spring pancakes, and seeing you sprouting bean sprouts, I fried bean sprouts, shredded potatoes, and shredded dried radish." Lin Qiao had already smelled the aroma of the food coming from the kitchen, and said
: "I'm so sorry for you. It just so happens that Xiaoshu likes to eat noodles, and I like to eat them too, so let's have dinner."
Meng Cidi still wanted to go back to her sister's house for dinner, but of course Lin Qiao wanted to keep her at home for dinner, and the three of them had dinner together , Lin Qiao said: "I have to trouble you to help me take Xiaoshu for a while. I have to go and see Doudou to see if he is infected with chickenpox. It probably is not. If he is infected, his father should look for me.
" Shu was also very concerned about DouDou's situation, and said worriedly, "Auntie, go quickly, I hope I didn't pass chickenpox to him.
"
Lin Qiao encouraged him to think on the bright side, saying: "Xiao Shu, don't worry, many children have chickenpox, and they will have antibodies once they get it, and they won't get it again."
Meng Pandi said: "Don't worry, I will tell you The little tree gets along very well."
Lin Qiao walked to the gate of the camp and asked the soldiers to help inform Gu Lin, and five minutes later, Gu Lin came to the gate with a bag.
"Mom." Doudou yelled and rushed over, and said sweetly, "Mom, I miss you."
Lin Qiao looked down at his little face, scraped the tip of his nose, and said, "It's only been a day without you." See, I miss my eldest son a lot too, my heart is empty, I don’t have chickenpox around me.”
Gu Lin replied: "No."
DouDou was also very concerned about Xiao Shu, and asked about his condition, Lin Qiao said, "He has a fever, but he is in good spirits." "Have you
eaten dinner, go to my office?" Gu Lin said.
It's different from when I usually go on missions and my wife and children are waiting for him at home. Today I spend a day with my son, and I always feel that my wife is missing.
"Okay, I just wanted to use your office phone to tell my brother." Lin Qiao said.
After registering at the door, the family of three walked towards Gu Lin's office.
The office building is a small two-story building. Gu Lin's office is on the easternmost side of the second floor. The furnishings are very simple. There are bookshelves, desks, and two bullet boxes for storage. The father and son are ready to sleep here at night, leaning against the bookshelf There are two camp beds unfolded in the position, and the quilts on the beds are neat and tidy, without a single wrinkle.
Gu Lin held back his words, and said in the office: "You haven't seen me all day, and you don't think about me, so your heart is not empty?"
Lin Qiao smiled and said, "Can you be the same as Doudou? I’ve never been separated, you often go on missions, I’m used to it.”
Gu Lin snorted, “I’m also thinking about you and Doudou when I go out on missions.” Lin Qiao
first called Lin Huaixuan and told him that Xiaoshu had chickenpox , the other party panicked when they heard that Xiaoshu had a fever, and said, "It seems that the child is really hard to take care of, so I'll go to your house."
Lin Qiao said, "Xiaoshu is already easy enough, don't worry, now Look, his chickenpox is not serious."
Putting down the phone, Lin Qiao asked Gu Lin again: "Didn't it affect your work?" Gu Lin
smiled and said, "This little guy is very quiet, he is either reading in the office or going to work. Watching the soldiers train at the training ground, it's not noisy at all."
"Are you still used to eating the food in the cafeteria?" Lin Qiao asked again.
"It's delicious. Lunch is seafood stew, and dinner is fresh shrimp, cabbage and tofu. I'm full." Doudou said.
Gu Lin said: "Since growing vegetables and food on the farm, the standard of food in our cafeteria has also improved."
Lin Qiao told Gu Lin about the poisoning of several families, "Everyone said it was poisoned by the poisoner."
"How about I arrange someone to investigate?" Gu Lin was much more vigilant than Lin Qiao, and he must figure out the ins and outs of such a situation.
Lin Qiao thought for a while and said, "The islanders are very afraid of poison masters, so it's better not to make any noise. I'm going to visit these people in the village tomorrow, and I'll ask about the situation by the way. Tell me."
Gu Lin nodded, "Then trouble Comrade Lin Qiao, I need to say something to you."
Lin Qiao imitated his tone and said, "Head Gu, I promise to complete the task."
After chatting for a while, Lin Qiao ordered DouDou went to bed early and said she was going home. This time, the father and son sent her near the house and watched her enter the gate before going back.
Chapter 32
In the yard, Lin Huaixuan had finished asking about Xiaoshu's condition. He was sitting on a horse tie, holding Xiaoshu in his arms, and was talking to Meng Cidi. He said, "Thank you for your help this time." Meng Cidi blushed again and said, "You
guys Siblings are so kind, Lin Qiao is busy today, and I can ask for leave at the farm, and taking care of the little tree is just a piece of cake." "
Doudou is not infected." Lin Huaixuan and his son asked almost in unison.
Lin Qiao said: "No, don't worry about him."
"Brother-in-law is so busy with work, I feel sorry for bothering him to bring a bag. I'll bring Xiaoshu to my office tomorrow." Lin Huaixuan said to the two.
Xiao Shu had a fever, and Lin Qiao was not at ease with her eldest brother. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Meng Cidi say, "It's okay if I ask for a few more days off at the farm. You just arrived at the factory not long ago, and you are doing a good job to win the trust of the factory leaders." It’s better not to ask for leave, and besides, I’ll keep an eye on Xiaoshu, and as long as his fever gets worse, I’ll call Lin Qiao anytime, it’s more convenient.”
Lin Qiao laughed silently, Meng Cidi is really a good girl, she handles things properly, and can Considerate of others.
"I've been bothering you for a long time, I'm too embarrassed to continue to trouble you." Lin Huaixuan said.
"I want to be with Aunt Meng." Xiaoshu said, he complained to Lin Qiao, "Sometimes I'm in Dad's office, but I can't see him for a long time." "
I often go to the workshop." Lin Huaixuan rubbed it with his hands Frowning, she explained that
Lin Qiao said: "Then I owe you a favor, let Cidi come."
Meng Cidi also said: "Your elder brother, you have helped me, so I should help, besides, I like Xiaoshu very much. "
I like Aunt Meng too." Xiaoshu said, holding Meng Cidi's hand.
Meng Cidi was very happy. The child's affirmation made her feel that the half-day effort was worth it.
The three of them agreed that Lin Qiao would take Xiaoshu with him at night, and Meng Cidi would help take care of Xiaoshu at Lin Qiao's house during the day. Lin Huaixuan would come to see Xiaoshu at noon and evening, and pick him up after Xiaoshu's chickenpox disappeared. Go home with Gu Lin.
After the two left, Lin Qiao told Xiao Shu to rest well and go to bed early.
For the convenience of temperature measurement, Xiao Shu and Lin Qiao slept together in the big bed. Xiaoshu felt very at ease and satisfied to be able to sleep with his aunt, so he sat up again, kissed Lin Qiao on the cheek and said, "Auntie, I like you, I really hope that my aunt is my mother." Lin Qiao touched his forehead,
feeling The temperature did not rise, and he held his little hand and said, "I like Xiaoshu too. You can treat your aunt as your mother. Go to sleep. Only when you sleep well can you overcome your illness." Xiaoshu held his aunt's hand
, I fell asleep very peacefully.
After breakfast the next day, Meng Cidi came over to help take Xiaoshu. Lin Qiao lifted Xiaoshu's vest to show her the chickenpox on her back, pointed to one of them and said, "Look, this is just a chickenpox. It was a chickenpox yesterday. Red dot, there is a bubble of water in it now, but his body temperature is the same as yesterday, and it hasn’t risen, if you measure his body temperature over thirty-eight degrees five, you can give him some antipyretics.” Meng Cidi nodded after listening to the
precautions Said: "I see."
Lin Qiao divided the work with Xu Haiou, Xu Haiou stayed at the medical point, Lin Qiao went to the village to see the poisoned patients, she didn't have time yesterday, and today she wanted to ask the family about their diet.
The situation of these people has improved, and Brother Fu even went to work.
Lin Qiao took a notebook to record their food and drink from the day of poisoning. What she originally imagined was specific to every meal and all the ingredients, but they couldn't remember it at all. At most, they could remember what they ate yesterday and the day before yesterday. Not sure.
Some people say that they eat the same thing every day.
"What kind of wild vegetables have you eaten?" Lin Qiao asked.
"Thunder Kola, Li Cuisine, and Guanyin Vegetable all grow not far from the house."
Lin Qiao knew that the Li Cuisine they were talking about was Solanum nigrum, which can be seen everywhere in the countryside, with different names in different places. It bears purple-black bead-like fruits. , but it contains toxic substances such as solanine and solanine, and must be cooked and eaten.
"Is the Li cuisine cooked?" Lin Qiao asked.
"It's cooked. How many years have we eaten this dish? We know it must be cooked."
"What kind of mushrooms have you ever eaten?" Lin Qiao asked again.
"As for the ones in the basket at the door, we can tell the difference between mushrooms, and they won't be poisoned by mushrooms."
The whole morning passed like this, and in the afternoon Lin Qiao and Xu Haiou analyzed the information she recorded at the medical office. Xu Haiou said, "From the ingredients, I don’t see anything unusual.”
Lin Qiao thought the same way, she used a pen to underline the words Rhodochria that appeared one after another, and said, “These families have all eaten Rhododendron, is it undercooked or Did you eat other red-colored fungus by mistake?"
Xu Haiou analyzed: "Islanders always eat mushrooms, and red cloth fungus is common, so they should have the ability to distinguish."
The two couldn't figure out why.
When Lin Qiao went to the stockade again to check her condition, she happened to meet Fu Zhenhua rushing over. The other person felt excited and heavy, and said, "Doctor Lin, there is no need to investigate the poisoned ingredients, we have found the poisoner! "
It's amazing speed!
Lin Qiao felt very mysterious and interested, and asked, "Who, how did you poison it? Why did you poison these families?"
Fu Zhenhua said, "Didn't you deliver the baby to Mrs. Huang last time?"
Lin Qiao Nodding: "Sister-in-law Huang is the daughter-in-
law of the village owner." "That's her sister, Huang Yading. Huang Yading is Huang Laoguan's second daughter. , passed away more than ten years ago, and I heard that Huang Laoguan's dead daughter-in-law was a poison master, and all kinds of pharmaceutical prescriptions were passed on to the second daughter." Fu Zhenhua told Lin all these things like pouring beans into a bamboo tube. Listen up.
Lin Qiao knew Huang Yading, she was seventeen or eighteen years old, and she was beautiful. She brought her niece to the medical clinic for treatment that day. At that time, she was wearing a blue dress, a colorful Li brocade skirt, and a pair of silver bracelets. She was lively and cheerful. Lin Qiao had a deep impression on her because she looked very aura.
"They all live on the island, if she can make poison, didn't you know before?" Lin Qiao asked.
Seeing that Lin Qiao was interested, Fu Zhenhua couldn't wait to tell her, and said, "Which poison master will let people know her identity, even if you ask her, she won't admit it." "Then how do you know
? Lin Qiao asked again.
"Isn't this exposed? Her mother came from outside the island. It was rumored that she could make drugs. After her death, no one mentioned it anymore. Later, Huang Yading talked to the most promising young man in the village. , It is said that she was the first to fall in love with the man, and he gave him an obsessive drug, and that young man was bewildered like a demon, and he would not marry unless she was the one." Fu Zhenhua said.
"Then why did Huang Yading poison these families?" Lin Qiao asked.
"She talked to Lan Naren, but the Lan family didn't agree at all. Lan Naren was a scholar who only came out of the island in decades. He was admitted to the technical secondary school in Rongcheng, and he was about to graduate. The Lan family asked his son Staying in Rongcheng, looking for a daughter-in-law in the city, how can Lan Naren be with her? She has no education, non-agricultural hukou, and can't arrange a job in the city. No, just poison those who obstruct them, these people are close relatives of the Lan family."
Lin Qiao thought that this statement could be justified, she thought for a while and asked: "What does Huang Yading say?"
Fu Zhen Hua said: "Everyone thinks it's her, and the village owner is interrogating her."
Lin Qiao couldn't wait to go and see, but she had to see patients first, and went to a few houses. Everyone's symptoms improved a lot, and more than half of them died Not at home, she checked the situation of these people, and rushed to the place Fu Zhenhua said to watch the fun.
Marriage and love are free in the Li nationality. Girls are 13 or 14 years old and their parents will build them a separate house, and they will move out.
The place of interrogation was in the open air, near Huang Yading's small house. Li Zhaizhu was sitting on a bamboo stool, facing Huang Yading, surrounded by people who eat melons.
This is a big deal, they would rather not go to work, but also to join in the fun.
Huang Yading stood up straight, raised his head slightly, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "I have prescriptions for various medicines in my hand, but I have never given poison. The poisoning of these families has nothing to do with me. They have never dispensed poison or medicine, and they have never harmed anyone."
The melon-eating crowd booed, Lin Qiao saw that their expressions were different, but they were all extremely excited. There was really a poison master in their village, who had been hiding for so many years. They were also caught out.
"Have you drugged Lan Naren? You also drugged these families?" Li Clan Chief asked while smoking a hookah.
Huang Yading didn't panic at all, his voice was crisp like a silver bell blowing in the wind: "I said that I have never given any medicine or drug to anyone. I am in free love with Huang Naren. We are of the same mind and connected with each other. We'll get married when he graduates."
No one believed it, and the eyes of all the people on Gua Gua Island were shining. They used to listen to all kinds of legends about poison masters, but now they finally saw a living one.
Mrs. Huang was very flustered, and said to the patriarch: "Father, I really didn't know that my mother and sister could make all kinds of medicines. It has nothing to do with me. I don't know how to do it." The Lan family was even more unhappy
. Originally, they felt that Huang Yading was not good enough for their son, but now that she knew that she was a poison master, he was even more reluctant, not to mention that Huang Yading had given his son obsessive drugs.
"There is an antidote to the infatuation medicine. You should give him an antidote quickly. My son has finally achieved success. Don't drag him down. Unless I die, he will never marry you." Grandpa Lan said sadly.
"I never gave him an obsession drug." Huang Yading just stood where he was, with his back straight, and said calmly.
Huang Yading is considered to have a personality. More than half of her age has tattoos. When she was a teenager, her stepmother also asked her to get tattoos. She didn't like it. At that time, she had a very unpleasant fight with her parents.
If Lin Qiao commented on this matter, she would definitely think that Huang Yading is a new woman who has the courage to resist the old customs, but the people on the island will only think that she is rebellious, and knowing that she has prescriptions for making various medicines, everyone will think that she is Even weirder.
Everyone talked about it, and when everyone agreed, Li Zhaizhu said: "Since everyone thinks that Huang Yading should not stay on the island, then let her go. I will write a letter of introduction and say that she is from a poor family and goes out to beg. It's already very kind."
Lin Qiao felt very chilled, even Huang Yading's closest family members didn't intercede for her, his father seemed to be in pain, with his hands on his forehead, covering his face, he didn't say a word. Her stepmother even sighed and said that she would do as the village master said. Only her sister was about to cry and begged Li village master to say: "Father, let's check again. My younger sister will not lie. If she said it wasn't her, then She must have never done it, she is an unmarried girl, where can she go after leaving the island?"
Lin Qiao thought that without a job, she would not be able to stay in the city, and she would definitely go to other villages, and the situation would depend on the ability of the local people. He couldn't accept her, and if he knew her status as a "poison master", he would also drive her away.
Everyone even wanted to tie her up, and they drove her out of the island by boat overnight.
"I didn't poison you." Huang Yading raised his voice, his words were sonorous, and there was no more excuses. His expression was determined and lonely. His skin color was originally dark, but the bracelets he could wear were shining pale in the sun. It made her face pale as paper.
Zhaizhu Li wanted to send her to Rongcheng Wharf, but some people said that she should be sent to a deserted island with no one around, and let her fend for herself. This kind of view even got the support of many people.
Sending a young girl to a deserted island without a boat to leave is basically a dead end.
The islanders seemed to be righteous. Lin Qiao imagined, if this poison master was a tough guy who looked evil and hard to deal with, would the islanders dare to treat him so cruelly?
She couldn't bear it anymore, stood up, and said to Li Zhaizhu: "Grandpa Li, we have no evidence to prove that Huang Yading poisoned, and she didn't admit it. I don't want to rush her out of the island. We can find her in the next few days." Let's find evidence, and if she stays on the island, maybe she will show her feet."
This is a tactic to delay the attack, Lin Qiao said this after careful consideration, she did not want to stand against the islanders.
Li Zhai's main subject said earnestly: "Doctor Lin, it seems that you don't know much about poison masters. They are very cunning, and they will only poison without anyone noticing. Of course, no one will catch any evidence, and they will not Admit it."
Lin Qiao spent a lot of talking, maybe the good guys will be wronged, the real bad guys hide and laugh, or Huang Yading has accomplices, then the islanders will face even greater threats.
Village Master Li was stubborn and was not persuaded, but he had a good impression of Lin Qiao, so he gave her face, saying that he should send Huang Yading under surveillance first, and then investigate.
Huang Yading looked in the direction where Lin Qiao was, with tears in her eyes, but she held back her tears, not letting them fall.
The village owner quickly arranged for a few young people to guard Huang Yading's hut, and ordered Huang Yading's hands and feet to be tied up to prevent him from leaving the house. Then he waved his hands: "The meeting is over.
" I went to the medical office and told Xu Haiou about it, and she was also waiting for the truth.
"Do you think it was Huang Yading's poison?" Xu Haiou asked.
Lin Qiao said: "Now is a new society, anyway, there is no conclusive evidence now, so she can't be punished at will."
Xu Haiou thought for a while, and decided to remind Lin Qiao, she said: "If I was at the scene, I would definitely stop her. It’s just that in Lizhai, the owner of the village is the absolute authority. This feeling was even more obvious when I went to the island more than ten years ago. If we really want to drive Huang Yading out of the island, we outsiders can’t interfere. Today the owner of Lizhai gave You have a lot of face, or you might be able to send Huang Yading away overnight."
Lin Qiao nodded and said, "I don't interfere with the affairs of the village. What I said at the time was very euphemistic. There are many poisonous animals and plants on the island. I still want to start with the food and find out the cause of the poisoning."
Xu Haiou said, "That's fine."
As soon as they got home, Lin Qiao smelled a sweet smell, and Meng Cidi was baking bananas with a small tree. Two stones were used as supports, a wire grill was placed on top, and carbon was placed between the stones. The little tree looked very happy, and when it saw Lin Qiao, it called out, "Auntie, come and eat grilled bananas, it's delicious."
Lin Qiao knelt down, took the half-peeled banana from Xiaoshu, held it in her right hand, touched his forehead with her left hand, and said pleasantly, "Xiaoshu's fever has subsided.
" The fever went away."
Lin Qiao checked Xiaoshu again, the chickenpox was almost the same as in the morning, and there were no more. She said, "As long as the fever doesn't flare up again at night, it will get better." The banana peel was baked
black, and she After taking a bite, it was very hot, soft and sweet, even more delicious than raw.
"What's for dinner? It smells so good." Lin Qiao asked.
"I've already made the rice, rice and corn, and some sweet potatoes. Your elder brother is cooking Wenchang chicken, and he leaves work ten minutes early, saying that the chicken will be cooked in twenty minutes, and you can cook it as white-cut chicken." Meng Cidi smiled and said, "I didn't expect your elder brother to be able to cook."
When she said the last sentence, Lin Qiao noticed that her face turned red briefly.
"Try my elder brother's cooking skills, all three of us can cook," Lin Qiao said.
Lin Huaixuan stood at the door with a shovel in his hand: "My colleague from the same office brought me a Wenchang chicken on a business trip. I called Gu Lin and said that you will deliver the food. The two of them should not eat dinner in the cafeteria, and we can improve it." Life."
Lin Qiao smiled and said, "Okay, brother is really thoughtful and even called in advance." "
Doudou said he was just waiting to eat chicken." Lin Huaixuan also laughed.
Lin Qiao's heart softened like cotton when she thought of the little guy who often sat at the kitchen door and waited for his meal.
Wenchang chicken really lives up to its reputation. It is delicious when only boiled in plain water, sweet and tender.
In addition to boiled chicken, Lin Huaixuan also made stir-fried mixed vegetables, shredded green peppers and potatoes, and fried squid with green onions.
"How does it taste?" Lin Qiao asked Meng Cidi.
"It's really good, delicious, much better than my cooking skills." Meng Cidi said.
While eating dinner, Meng Cidi roasted another ten bananas and asked Lin Qiao to bring them to Doudou while they were still hot. As the recent major event on the island, Lin Qiao gossips about the time of poisoning.
"My second sister already knew about the poisoning, and she was talking about it last night. I didn't expect such a thing to happen today." Meng Cidi said.
Thinking of her previous experience, although she didn't know the situation, Meng Cidi sympathized with the girl who was convicted and isolated without evidence.
"Then the news spread really fast." Lin Qiao said.
After dinner, Lin Qiao went to the camp with four lunch boxes. Gu Lin quickly came out to pick her up with a bag. Gu Lin took the lunch box and a net bag to change clothes, and said, "Let's go in and stay for a while.
" Qiao picked up DouDou and kissed his little face: "DouDou must be hungry, try the white-cut chicken made by uncle."
DouDou put his arms around his mother's neck, and said in a cute voice, "My belly is flattened." It’s time.”
The three of them walked towards the camp together. Lin Qiao felt exhausted holding DouDou for a while, and after putting him down, DouDou ran forward quickly with his calves: “Hurry up, Mom and Dad, it’s time to eat.” After arriving at the office,
Gu Lin had already Just as she cleared a space on the desk, and brought two sets of bowls and chopsticks, Lin Qiao opened all four lunch boxes, set aside a small bowl from a box of rice for the bag, and put some chicken for both of them, saying: "Hurry up and eat."
Originally, he wanted to eat bananas as an after-dinner fruit, but he could smell the sweetness, so Lin Qiao had no choice but to take out the baked bananas wrapped in oil paper and eat them together.
"The chicken is delicious, fragrant and tender." Doudou said.
While the father and son were having dinner, Lin Qiao recounted what happened in the afternoon. Gu Lin agreed with her. There is no evidence to prove that Huang Yading did it, so people can't be kicked out of the island at will.
Seeing that Doudou listened with his small ears, Gu Lin touched his forehead and said, "This is an adult's business, and you don't understand, so hurry up and eat." After dinner, a soldier came to pick up Doudou to attend cultural classes
. Rin asked Battalion Commander Qi, who had studied in the military academy, to teach the cultural knowledge of soldiers who did not graduate from elementary school.
"Mom, then I'm leaving." Doudou waved to Lin Qiao, he left one banana for Gu Lin, and the remaining eight bananas were to be shared with Uncle Warrior.
"Do you understand?" Lin Qiao asked.
"Understood, Mom." DouDou said.
After the two left, Gu Lin said, "DouDou would like to stay in the camp."
Lin Qiao said, "That's good, I'm still worried that he won't get used to it."
The two continued to talk about the afternoon, and Lin Qiao said: " I believe in ordinary poisons and medicines. After all, in our island, including Hainan Island, poisonous plants such as blood seal throat and heartbroken grass are everywhere. They can be easily made into medicines, but will there really be obsession medicines? The islanders described these medicines as miraculous, saying that they were given to admirers, and the other party would fall in love with each other as if they had lost their souls. The rubbed bamboo, I heard the islanders say that everyone can tell the legend about the obsession medicine, but they can’t tell who is the person who can make the medicine and the specific formula.” Gu Lin is a firm
materialist The philanthropists would never believe this, and said, "Do you use this thing? I'm not obsessed with drugs, and I'm also obsessed with you."
Lin Qiao smiled happily and said, "I believe it, otherwise You won't marry me, but it's been more than half a year, are you still confused? No matter how deep the relationship is, it will be flat, are you getting cold?" Gu Lin glanced at her and said: "
Then In a few nights, I will show you how enthusiastic I am, and I will never be cold, and I promise you that I will never be cold in my life."
Lin Qiao felt that she was being teased by him: "..."
She turned her head and said angrily: "This is your office, and you are not serious, so it could be the same thing."
Gu Lin has a thick skin, and still leaned in front of Lin Qiao and said, "Why is it not the same thing, what do you cultured people think? Love, love, it feels different, it’s the same thing here.”
Lin Qiao turned her head to the side to avoid his sight, and said with a smile in her voice: “I won’t talk to you, then I’ll go back first gone."
Gu Lin put all the lunch boxes back into the net pocket, and gave her the clothes she changed today, and said, "I'll send you off, do you want me to secretly arrange two assistants for you? They won't participate in the investigation, so they will secretly protect you."
He believed in Lin Qiao's ability, and it was indeed more acceptable to have a doctor who was deeply trusted by the islanders come forward to conduct an investigation, much better than his arrangements. But he wanted to ensure Lin Qiao's safety when the facts were unknown.
Lin Qiao felt that he was really considerate and considerate, so she replied, "Okay."
Chapter 33
After Lin Qiao came home, Lin Huaixuan and Meng Cidi left. Lin Qiao told Xiao Shu a story and told him to go to bed early.
On the third day, Lin Qiao began to check their stored grains, dried goods such as seafood and mushrooms, vegetables in front of and behind the house, seasonings such as soy sauce and vinegar, and even food containers from house to house.
Naturally, she couldn't identify it through laboratory tests like later generations, she could only rely on experience, and found nothing abnormal.
Almost everyone in the village thought she was doing useless work.
After no results, she persuaded Brother Fu to go up the mountain with her to see the conditions of the wild vegetables and mushrooms his family had dug. The two of them were walking when a crisp voice came from behind: "Doctor Lin
, I'll go up the mountain with you."
Her face was covered with sweat, only her eyes were shining and she looked at Lin Qiao expectantly.
A sister told her that Dr. Lin was investigating the poisoning, and she felt that he was her life-saving straw and a trustworthy person.
She wanted to work with Dr. Lin to find out the truth about the poisoning as soon as possible.
Lin Qiao looked into her eyes, she felt that she had never seen such pure eyes, completely untainted by the world, as if she could speak, full of gratitude and expectation.
Make it seem like she's harmless.
Even, if there was not this turmoil, she would think that only the vast sea and beautiful mountains and rivers could give birth to such a beautiful girl.
Brother Fu took two steps back, avoiding her like a snake and scorpion, and frowned: "Didn't the village master arrange someone to guard you? How did you escape?" He turned to
Lin Qiao again: "Look at her like this, what do you all do? We can trust her! We must not let her follow, maybe she will poison you at any time, she just wants to sabotage your investigation, Doctor Lin, you must not soften your heart, they are ruthless when poisoning, but No mercy."
Lin Qiao said: "You go back, you are the person involved, you must avoid suspicion, and you sneaked out, you have to go back quickly, otherwise everyone will suspect you even more." She didn't have any pressure, she couldn't solve the poisoning matter
Gu Lin I will take action, anyway, there will be no such thing as sending Huang Yading to a deserted island to feed wild boars.
Huang Yading understood, and said obediently: "Okay, I'll go back now."
After speaking, she turned around and went down the mountain, turning her head frequently as she walked.
Brother Fu thought that Lin Qiao was a euphemism for driving her back, so he said, "You can't let her follow, you can see that she is reluctant to leave, and she wants to play tricks on us." Lin Qiao also saw Huang Yading's three
steps Looking back, her intuition told her that Huang Yading was wronged, but everything must be based on evidence.
Brother Fu's mushroom picking place is in a mountain depression, the shade is damp, and the mushrooms will grow wildly after it rains.
"We picked the red cloth fungus here." Brother Fu said.
Lin Qiao pointed to the bright red mushroom with long white spots and white stems and said, "This is Amanita muscaria."
Brother Fu said confidently, "This is the best poisonous mushroom to distinguish. Every two-year-old child knows it. We all know it." You can’t make a mistake.”
A thought flashed through Lin Qiao’s mind, and she said a little excitedly: “Amanita muscaria spores may get on the red cloth fungus, although the red cloth fungus is not poisonous, it can get poisonous flies The poison of the umbrella."
Brother Fu scratched his head: "You mean that the red cloth fungus we eat has the poison of Amanita muscaria?"
Lin Qiao nodded: "It may be so, I need to know whether the other three mushroom picking places are poisonous. Mushrooms, let’s experiment with mushrooms to see if they will be poisoned. Brother Fu, don’t eat your mushrooms yet.” Brother Fu was
dumbfounded, and said, “I haven’t eaten them. I didn't eat it."
After going down the mountain, she visited three other families and learned that they also picked and ate the red cloth fungus in the mountain depression, Lin Qiao felt more confident.
After a busy day, Lin Qiao went back to the medical office and told Xu Haiou what he found today. Xu Haiou said, "What you said is really possible. Edible mushrooms grow together with poisonous mushrooms. It is really possible that there are poisonous spores. With Xu
Haiou's affirmation, Lin Qiao became more confident.
After returning home for dinner, she went to the camp to see the father and son, and reported to Gu Lin by the way.
At around 8 o'clock in the morning of the next day, the islanders had already gone to work and had breakfast, and Village Master Li was assigning the farm work for everyone in the morning.
After he finished assigning the work to everyone, Lin Qiao told him his speculation, and Village Master Li found it very strange that he had eaten mushrooms for more than 50 years, and he had never encountered a case where the mushrooms he often ate were contaminated by poisonous mushrooms. .
Almost incomprehensible.
Hearing the conversation between the two, the crowd who were scattered and ready to go to work came back.
Lin Qiao said: "You can test it with dogs. If dogs are also poisoned after eating Rhodocloccus, it's a mushroom problem." The people in the
village also found it inconceivable. Ren's eldest brother, he said: "Anyway, I have been poisoned once, I don't need a dog to try it, I will eat it, if I am poisoned, then the last poisoning has nothing to do with Huang Yading, if I am not poisoned..." He
bit Back molars: "We must send Huang Yading to a deserted island, tied hands and feet, and fed to wolves. Doctor Lin, if you agree, I will eat now."
Lin Qiao: "..."
I respect you for being a man!
She just wanted to do an experiment, but the other party wanted to fight to the death.
At present, there is only one idea of food poisoning. If the food poisoning is not caused by mushrooms, she has no other investigation method. Gu Lin must arrange someone to investigate and find out the truth of the investigation.
In short, it is not in a hurry to send Huang Yading to a desert island.
But Lan Na Snake desperately gave her resolute words, leaving her with no other choice.
She didn't give explicit consent, and didn't say anything dead, she just said, "Brother Lan, let the dog try it." "No,
I'll eat it." Lan Na Snake doesn't believe in dogs, he only believes in himself.
Anyway, he absolutely does not believe that eating the red cloth fungus that grows with Amanita muscaria can cause poisoning.
For the sake of his promising younger brother's future, he must drive Huang Yading away and prevent her from harming the Lan family.
Patriarch Li agreed with him: "Let him eat."
In fact, Lin Qiao had already prepared for the current situation. Last night she told her guess, and Gu Lin knew that if she failed the experiment, it would be hard to accumulate in the hearts of the islanders. His reputation will be ruined, and the islanders will still be resistant to the investigation. He said: "We have to try it in advance. There are eight patrol dogs in the camp, all of which are wolf dogs. After training, six pass the training, and the other two We don't have that much food to feed, so if we want to send it away, we'll use one of them for testing."
Lin Qiao nodded and said yes.
Gu Lin arranged for soldiers to accompany him around, and the two of them went up the mountain with flashlights, went to the mountain to pick red cloth mushrooms, and returned. Lin Qiao was waiting in his office. Gu Lin quickly brought a dog, and he called out: " Number eight, come and eat."
As expected of the dog they had trained, he was very obedient and obediently ate a small pile of mushrooms.
An hour later, the dog fell into a coma. Lin Qiao said, "This mushroom must be poisonous. Dogs don't just fall asleep. They are in a coma, but dogs are different from humans. Dogs will recover from the poisonous Amanita muscaria on their own. We just need to wait. "
The two sat on the edge of the camp bed, Lin Qiao leaned his head against Gu Lin's arms, and in front of him was a sleepy dog.
She yawned and said, "Thank you for being with me."
Gu Lin stroked her neck: "Why are you being polite to me? This matter is very important to the islanders and the army, so we must investigate it clearly. Originally this is something I should take care of, sleepy, or I'll wait, you sleep for a while."
Lin Qiao insisted: "I have to wait too."
"I walked all day today, my feet hurt It hurts, how about I squeeze it for you?" Gu Lin said.
Lin Qiao would not refuse his service, so she quickly lay down on the bed, with her feet hanging on the edge of the bed, and said, "Okay, but if you don't wash my hands after touching my feet, you are not allowed to touch my face again." Gu
Lin Amused by her, she sat on the edge of the bed, took off Lin Qiao's sandals and nylon stockings, and said, "I can touch my face, my daughter-in-law's feet are fragrant." Lin Qiao smiled and said, "You know how to
say It sounds nice and makes me happy."
Gu Lin pushed her calf down on the bed, let her lie down, and kneaded from the sole of her foot.
"Your hand is really hard, it's too strong, be gentle." Lin Qiao said.
Gu Lin said lightly, "Is that so."
"Yes." Lin Qiao said with the corners of her lips curled up.
Doudou was sleeping soundly on the small bed next to him. If you listened carefully, you could hear his faint breathing. Lin Qiao looked at Gu Lin who was massaging her with her head down. The lines are softer than usual.
"Gu Lin." Lin Qiao softly called his name.
"Huh?" Gu Lin was massaging the soles of her feet with her fingers, without raising her head, she replied.
"Kiss me." Lin Qiao said.
Gu Lin raised his head, with a smile on his face: "Okay, it would be great if my wife always took the initiative."
He moved forward a little, bent down, hung his body above her, and kissed her lightly on the lips , The two looked at each other with smiles on their faces.
Gu Lin stepped back to the soles of her feet and continued to massage her.
After pinching her feet, Lin Qiao felt her whole body relaxed and relaxed a lot. Gu Lin followed her request and came back after washing her hands, and the two of them huddled together on the camp bed to rest.
The two of them waited until one o'clock, and three hours later, the dog woke up. Lin Qiao said pleasantly: "The dog's recovery ability is really strong, it's fine."
Her speculation was confirmed.
Gu Lin stroked the dog's back, fed him water and some specially reserved corn porridge, and said, "Number 8 is awesome."
He didn't tell Lin Qiao that such an island with troops stationed at a distance from the shore is extremely easy to be targeted by spies, and he needs to be extra careful. Now that the suspicion of spies has been ruled out, Gu Lin is also relieved.
The dog is in good spirits, wagging its tail happily.
When Lin Qiao came home, Xiao Shu had already fallen asleep, and Lin Huaixuan was sitting in the living room waiting.
Not long after Lin Qiao arrived at the camp in the evening, a soldier came to tell them that Lin Qiao would come back later. Unexpectedly, it was already late at night, and when he heard footsteps at the door, he immediately came out to greet him and asked, "How is it?" "It's basically mushrooms.
" Poisoned." Lin Qiao recounted the experiment.
Lin Huaixuan did not expect the investigation to progress so quickly. He thought for a while and said, "Is this dangerous? There is a saying that do as the Romans do. Is there something we don't know about dealing with people in the village?" Lin Qiao said:
" I am quite familiar with the village owner and many people in the village, besides, Gu Lin has arranged for someone to follow me secretly, so there will be no danger."
Then Lin Huaixuan went back to the shipyard with confidence.
——Li
Zhaizhu personally led people up the mountain, and quickly picked up a basket of red cloth fungus, and the blue snake poured out an enamel pot, and said confidently and domineeringly: "I will eat a pot, and eat it raw." Lin
Qiao Stop him: "How much did you eat when you were poisoned before, whether it was fried or boiled, just the same as last time." The
blue snake had already bravely stuffed three raw red cloth mushrooms into its mouth, Lin Qiao remembered The sentence "Don't look at you having a good time now, be careful about making lists in the future", still stopped him.
He fried some more garlic, and said, "Look, the garlic hasn't changed color, so it's not poisonous at all."
Everyone didn't even bother to go to work, and there were many people watching the excitement and eating melons. Villager Li took Huang Yading with him Near Lana Snake's houseboat, her hands were still tied. Since she sneaked away to strengthen the manpower, four or five big men were watching her.
Lan Na Snake's father also joined in, and the father and son ate up the entire enamel pot of red cloth fungus.
Twenty minutes later, the father and son were both safe and sound. Lan Na Snake was proud and said, "Doctor Lin, it's not that I don't give you face. How can red cloth fungus be poisonous? Huang Yading is a poison master. There is nothing to say about this. She has to go, and it’s useless for anyone to intercede with her.”
Forty minutes later, when the islanders clamored to send Huang Yading away, Lan Nasnake said that he wanted to sail the boat by himself, and he must see Huang Yading go to the desert with his own eyes. Dao, right here, he suddenly put his hands on his stomach, squatted down, and shouted that his stomach hurts.
The noisy crowd suddenly fell silent.
"How do you feel?" Lin Qiao asked.
Lan Na Snake fainted, and said: "Dizziness, nausea, stomachache, I won't be poisoned again."
Within two minutes, Grandpa Lan also had similar symptoms.
Everyone felt incredible.
Lin Qiao explained: "The four families all ate the red cloth fungus picked from the mountain depression. The red cloth fungus was contaminated with the poison of Amanita muscaria, but the toxicity is not too serious, and the symptoms of everyone are not serious." Huang
Huang The sister-in-law said to Village Master Li: "Father, the poisoning has nothing to do with my younger sister. She doesn't harm anyone. Doctor Lin has already checked it out, so you can let her go.
" Sitting on a bamboo chair, smoking a hookah, silent.
He is a ruthless person, so he sent someone to pick some red cloth mushrooms, and after cooking, he wanted to poison himself.
Lin Qiao stopped him and said, "Grandpa Li, you're getting old, so don't try it yourself."
Others also tried to persuade him, but Village Master Li was so stubborn that he didn't listen to the persuasion at all, and insisted on eating mushrooms.
Huang Yading's father had been silent all the time, as if the matter had nothing to do with him. At this moment, he finally stood up and said, "I'll eat these mushrooms." Li Zhai main board refused with a straight face: "I don't need you
.
" After only a few seconds, he still wanted to speak, but was forcibly pulled back into the crowd by his wife. The other party even pretended to say: "Don't make trouble for the village owner, the village owner will definitely investigate clearly."
After eating the mushrooms, without exception, Village Master Li also developed symptoms of poisoning, so he ordered weakly, "Release Huang Yading."
Hearing these words, Lin Qiao felt relieved.
However, Village Master Li still threatened the other party: "I won't hold you accountable this time, and next time someone is poisoned, it will still be on you."
The rope in Huang Yading's hand was untied, and he looked down at the man who was rubbing the red blood mark. Wrist, stand still in place.
She thought there was only a dead end, and she was still desperately trying to escape, but they let her go.
It wasn't until her elder sister came forward to hold her hand: "Yading, go and thank Grandpa Li and Dr. Lin."
Huang Yading raised his head and was stunned for two seconds before he came back to his senses. As if it was lit up, it regained its brilliance, and ran towards Lin Qiao's direction. Sister-in-law Huang pulled her towards Li Zhaizhu, and Huang Yading changed the direction, walked up to Li Zhaizhu and said, "Grandpa Li, thank you!" Return my innocence, I have never harmed anyone, and I will never harm anyone in the future."
Sister-in-law Huang said a lot of good things: "The village owner will never wrong a good person. He did not hesitate to eat poisonous mushrooms in order to find out the truth. You must remember this kindness, and you will have to pay it back in the future."
Village Master Li waved his hand: "You'd better go, and don't walk around the village in the future."
Huang Yading bowed to Village Master Li, and ran to the forest Leaning beside her, she almost cried, and bowed again and again, saying, "Thank you, Dr. Lin, for washing away my grievances. You saved me. I will never forget your great kindness." This beautiful doctor with a sense of justice
is Her savior was a fairy who came down to help her.
Sister-in-law Huang saw her younger sister standing unsteadily, as if she was about to faint, so she hurried over to help her, and said many words of thanks.
Lin Qiao said softly, "You're serious. You must find out the truth so that everyone can feel at ease. This is what I should do. You're welcome. Let's go back and rest for a while."
The tense nerves of the islanders also relaxed. If there is a poisoner around them, they will feel uneasy. Now it is just mushroom poisoning, so they just need to pay attention to it in the future. They even thought of Huang Yading's goodness. She was warm, cheerful, and helpful, and she was willing to help anyone with anything. The prescription in her hand was taught to her by her mother when she was a child. As long as she didn't use it, they would use it. Stay vigilant and don't pursue it this time. They were also very grateful to Lin Qiao, who not only detoxified them, but also stayed in the village these days to investigate the cause of the poisoning, which made them feel very safe. Lin Qiao already had enough experience to know that the poisoning of the three of them would not be too serious, so she first induced them to vomit and then observed their symptoms, and then went home after lunch time. Lunch was ready, while eating lunch, Lin Qiao gossiped about what happened today with Lin Huaixuan and Meng Cidi. Meng Cidi felt that she had already worshiped Lin Qiao, and she said, "Unexpectedly, you would find out and save him in just a few days. Huang Yading, she is so lucky to have met you." Her own experience was also very tragic back then, but no one as capable and righteous as Lin Qiao came out to speak for her. But now she is friends with Lin Qiao, and she is very lucky. "Xiaoshu's chickenpox is much better. It's not an option for Doudou to stay in the camp with his dad all the time. Why don't I take him back and let him play at home by himself." Lin Huaixuan said after dinner. Lin Qiao checked Xiaoshu's whole body, and saw that the chickenpox that developed two days ago had shrunk, and said, "Wait until noon tomorrow, and then go home if there is no new chickenpox." Infected, Xiaoshu had to go back instead of eating and living with Doudou, "I will go to see Xiaoshu." Meng Cidi said. "Aunt Meng, can you stay with me during the day and cook for me?" Xiaoshu asked eagerly. After he had chickenpox, he became very clingy. Meng Cidi was very pleasantly surprised. This cute child liked her very much. She said, "Okay, I can play with you, and I can cook whatever you want."
Lin Qiao joked, "Auntie Meng has been asking for leave for the past few days, which has already delayed Auntie Meng for several days. I have to ask your father to pay her wages.
" Immediately begged Lin Huaixuan and said: "Dad, you have to pay Aunt Meng." Lin Huaixuan said: "No problem, can it
be calculated as two yuan a day?"
I understand it’s a joke.”
Meng Cidi’s cheeks were flushed, “I’m sorry for what you said, but it’s just to help take care of the children for a few days, what salary do you want, please don’t mention it again.” After lunch the next day
, Lin Huaixuan took Xiao Shu back, and Lin Qiao began to disinfect the house, opening all the windows to ventilate, wash the sheets, dry the bedding, even the tables and chairs were moved out to dry, doorknobs and other places that Xiao Shu often touched were sprayed with alcohol.
She is very cautious, but even if it is not cleaned and disinfected like this, Doudou should not be infected.
In the evening, Gu Lin came home from get off work and brought Doudou back. The little guy called out to his mother as soon as he entered the courtyard.
Lin Qiao had just finished steaming the steamed buns mixed with corn and flour, and hurriedly walked out of the kitchen to meet the little guy who ran over. She opened her arms and hugged DouDou and said, "Isn't it so happy to see you every day?"
DouDou He kissed Lin Qiao on the face and said, "I want to see my mother often."
Gu Lin said, "Look at his sweet mouth, he had a great time in the camp, and he couldn't bear to come back."
Doudou said "I haven't played enough, but there is no mother in the camp."
Gu Lin raised the net bag in his hand and said, "The fishing team caught lobsters today, and I bought two, which is also a celebration of Comrade Lin's successful resolution of the poisoning incident.
" Looking at the red and black lobster in the net bag, which was as big as a radish, he said, "How do you eat this? Steam it?"
Gu Lin said, "Steam it, I will do it."
Lin Qiao said, "Chef Gu can do whatever he wants, so I'll wait for dinner with DouDou." The
two dragon fruit trees beside the east wall were covered with bright red fruits. Holding the dragon fruit in both hands, he jumped and handed the fresh dragon fruit to the little master like offering treasures.
DouDou took the dragon fruit, hugged Kong Kong over, and said, "I want Kong Kong too, the three of us will wait for dinner together." "Kong Kong is
very capable, and it will take care of sick young trees." Lin Qiao said.
Doudou held his empty hand in surprise: "You are amazing."
Lin Qiao saw Gu Lin put the lobster into the enamel basin, scooped up half a scoop of water, and carefully scrubbed the surface with a brush. It thought for a while and said: "Why don't you send one to Mrs. Meng's house? Meng Cidi is taking care of the little tree these days."
Gu Lin said, "We all bought lobsters, and Battalion Commander Zhao also has them. I will return the favor later."
Lin Qiao took DouDou and KongKong washed the dirty clothes they brought back at the door of the kitchen, and Gu Lin steamed shrimp to cook in the kitchen. After washing the clothes, steamed steamed buns, steamed lobster, stir-fried scallops with green peppers, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Gu Lin was not afraid of being scorched, so he directly broke off the heads of the two lobsters, and put the fresh and tender lobster meat into the bowls of his wife and children.
"You gave us all the shrimp meat, what are you going to eat?" Lin Qiao asked.
"I eat shrimp heads." Gu Lin said.
"But I don't think there's much meat in the head of the shrimp." Lin Qiao said.
Lin Qiao had already divided her share of shrimp meat into two halves, put half in Gu Lin's bowl, and said with a smile, "Don't you look at how big it is, I can't even eat it with Doudou." "Mom must eat a whole one
, You love big lobsters the most, I have bought lobsters for my mother many times." Doudou said.
"But I've never eaten lobster before." Lin Qiao took a bite and said, "The fresh lobster is quite sweet and the meat is tender." "
Dip in the dipping sauce I made, which contains pepper, oyster sauce, Sesame, I have used all the seasonings in our family." Gu Lin said.
Lin Qiao dipped in the sauce as she said, and praised: "Chef Gu's craftsmanship is getting better and better." The
sweet lobster meat mixed with the rich sauce, taking a big bite, makes people feel that life has become better.
Gu Lin was praised by his daughter-in-law, and he was very motivated: "From now on, I will cook more for you to eat."
Doudou insisted on giving Lin Qiao the whole lobster meat in his bowl, and the three of them pushed back and forth, and finally Gu Lin ate it for a while. Mostly.
DouDou touched his round belly and said, "It's good to eat with my mother when I'm full."
The next day, the soldier sent No. 8 to the medical center, and Xu Haiou wanted to keep it.
Chapter 34
"Anyway, the eliminated military dogs need to be adopted by someone, so why not keep them with me as a companion, so that I can sleep here at night and feel more at ease." Xu Haiou said.
"The wolfdog eats a lot, so you have to buy cornmeal for it to eat, and you can feed it some cooked fish and shrimp to supplement nutrition. You can't feed too much seafood, and you have to check whether it is allergic." Lin Qiao said.
Her family raises chickens and monkeys, and dogs cannot eat bran like chickens and ducks. They have to eat grain like humans. There is really no extra grain for a dog, or she will adopt one.
Xu Haiou said: "Anyway, I don't eat much, except for cornmeal. I'll feed it some sweet potatoes planted west of the medical office, and some carrots to feed it. It's almost done.
" Under the tree, led into the fence at night to guard the gate.
At noon, when it was time to get off work, Huang Yading's father came.
Lin Qiao was surprised at the same time. The other party brought her a large bag of dried abalone, which weighed five or six catties. The dark and honest man stuffed the cloth pocket into Lin Qiao's hand and said, "Thank you, Doctor Lin, for cleaning Huang Yading. I am wronged, now the people in the village no longer guard her, she can move freely and her life is not in danger. If it weren't for you, Aden might have been sent to a desert island. You are her benefactor, and I will remember your kindness forever "
"I don't need to thank you."
Lin Qiao pushed the thing over, and he pushed the thing over again, Lin Qiao looked at his expression, she was truly grateful, and also had a bit of gratitude and joy for the rest of her life.
So he also cared about his second daughter?
Dried abalone is a valuable seafood that the islanders sell for money. Even if it is small, it can be worth forty or fifty yuan. He was able to bring so much to Lin Qiao, which shows that he is sincerely grateful.
But a person like Lin Qiao who was pampered and raised by his parents couldn't understand that when his daughter was wronged, his father would shy away from her like a tortoise.
Cowardly and bloodless and controlled by his step-wife, he is not a father.
At that time, only Huang Yading's sister was anxious and pleaded for her.
Maybe from his point of view, there is really nothing he can do.
Lin Qiao didn't want to criticize anyone, but wanted to know his thoughts, and asked, "Whether my daughter has harmed anyone, a father should know best." Huang's father shook his head, "I really don't know." "Then you just believe it
.
" Others said she was poisoned? You are her own father, so you can't say a few words to her?" "I can't
fight against so many people by myself. It's useless for me to say anything, and they won't believe it."
Lin Qiao: "... "
It's really too much to say.
"Then you let your second daughter fight so many people by herself?" Lin Qiao's tone was a little impatient.
Father Huang lowered his head and said nothing.
"Did you think that if you didn't say anything then, you would have nothing to do with this matter?" Lin Qiao said again.
The other party rubbed his dark and rough hands, very embarrassed, and said nothing.
Lin Qiao didn't press him any more. She knew that many people treat their relatives and friends like this now. Like Xu Manzhi, there are not many people who work hard for their ex-husband and hope that he can live a little easier.
"This is what I should do. I just don't want innocent people to be wronged. You should take these dried abalones back and exchange them with the supply and marketing cooperative. From now on, you should care more about Huang Yading and treat her better." Lin Qiao His tone softened.
After all, Father Huang finally took his things and left.
When he walked back, Lin Qiao said to Xu Haiou: "Do you think Huang Yading's father will find out with his conscience in the future and treat her better?"
Xu Haiou shook his head, she saw it clearly: "Of course not, he himself refuses to stand out. , bringing so many things is just to hope that you can cover Huang Yading more, for him, he is thankful that Huang Yading is alive, and if Huang Yading is really wronged to death, he also thinks it is justified."
——
Today In the afternoon, when it was almost time to get off work, Huang Yading came to the clinic and brought a piece of brocade to Lin Qiao.
She was in much better condition, the previous heaviness was gone, and she felt very cheerful and relaxed wearing a Li brocade top and skirt with gorgeous patterns on a blue background.
This piece of Li Brocade's dark red fabric is not too dark or light. The red fabric is embroidered with indigo, yellow, and red patterns, which looks very bright.
A cloth artwork the size of a single bed sheet.
"Doctor Lin, this is the brocade that I spun, dyed, and embroidered with my own hands. I give it to you. Thank you for helping me out. You have done me a favor of rebuilding. This piece of brocade is my heart. You must accept it." Exit." Huang Yading expressed his gratitude sincerely.
Although it has been proven that she has not harmed anyone, the people in the village are still full of fear of her. Huang Yading also locked himself in the hut to embroider Li Jin as the village owner said, and has never gone out these days.
She was very grateful to Lin Qiao, and felt that nothing could express her gratitude, so she could only do her best to weave a piece of beautiful brocade for Lin Qiao.
Lin Qiao said don't be polite, and then said: "I think it's all grandma who can make brocade. You are so young, can you know all the crafts?" Seeing
Lin Qiao's interest, Huang Yading nodded proudly: "My grandma taught me how to make brocade. "
"Then you are really ingenious." Lin Qiao praised her.
Huang Yading originally thought that Li brocade embroidery was a very common thing, but before Dr. Lin praised her, her eyes sparkled.
"This brocade is so beautiful, it must have taken a lot of time." Xu Haiou leaned over to admire it.
"I work quickly and don't spend much time," Huang Yading said.
Lin Qiao said: "I know that Li brocade embroidery is very complicated and requires patience and perseverance. You see that Li brocade is so delicate, it must be time-consuming and labor-intensive. Did it take you a month? I can't accept such an expensive gift from you."
Huang Yading's eyes were full of joy: "Doctor Lin, this is an ordinary thing in our Lizhai. I embroidered it for you specially. I don't know what pattern you like, so I embroidered our favorite kapok pattern. You see that the kapok tree has flowers and leaves, which symbolize the luxuriant branches and leaves and a happy family, and you can see that there are also cloud patterns and water ripples, which are common patterns." After she reminded her,
Lin Qiao felt that this piece of brocade was more delicate, and then lifelike.
"It's so beautiful. Li Brocade's craftsmanship should be passed on," Lin Qiao said.
"Yes, young people are willing to do it now, but fewer and fewer are able to do Li Jin." Xu Haiou said.
Huang Yading opened his eyes wide, and asked in disbelief: "Is Li Brocade so good? I thought only our locals like Li Brocade." "I like
this piece of Li Brocade very much." Lin Qiao said, "Then I will accept it, and I will give it to you." You use a piece of Dacron fabric to make clothes."
Li brocade can be called a handicraft, but Dacron fabrics are also difficult to buy. When the supply and marketing cooperatives come, Dacron fabrics will be snatched up. Ordinary people may not be able to buy them at all. Many people want to buy them. Accurate fabrics even have to rely on various relationships.
Huang Yading quickly waved his hand: "Doctor Lin, I am very happy if you accept Li Jin, and I will never accept your things again."
Lin Qiao folded Li Jin and handed it back: "If you don't want the fine-quality fabric, I can't either. I want Li Jin."
Huang Yading jumped two steps back and said, "Then I took yours and it's really good." "
I'll bring the cloth to the medical office tomorrow, so come and get it when you're free." Lin Qiao said.
Huang Yading thinks that Lin Qiao is very kind, she doesn't fear her like others, alienate her, and treat her kindly and patiently. In her eyes, Li Jin is very ordinary, but in Lin Qiao's eyes, being beautiful is a work of art. She respects people very much and recognizes their customs and culture. Dealing with Lin Qiao is like a spring breeze.
"Okay, can I come tomorrow afternoon?" Huang Yading asked anxiously.
"Of course." Lin Qiao said.
After work, Lin Qiao brought Li Jin home and showed it to Gu Lin after work. She wrapped Li Jin around her waist and said, "Do you think it looks good if I make this brocade into a tube skirt?" Gu Lin looked at the brocade skirt
. Lin Qiao wore it with a unique charm, nodded: "It looks good, I didn't expect a white shirt with Li brocade to be very fashionable. My wife looks good in anything!" "My mother looks good in anything
." Doudou said, clapping his little hands.
"You two praised me so much that I couldn't find Bei." Lin Qiao smiled, "I think it's too gorgeous and good-looking, and everyone will think I'm ostentatious. Forget it, I'll just wear dark pants and skirts."
She really wanted to wear a tube skirt made by Li Jin, but she resisted it.
Gu Lin deeply thought that Lin Qiao's ordinary national costumes would be so eye-catching, but he encouraged her and said, "You can wear it at home." Doudou said, "Just wear it for Dad to see, he won't worry if you wear it outside
. He wished that your clothes were so ordinary that you couldn’t find them in the crowd.”
Gu Lin bent over and nodded his nose and said, “You kid knows everything, and it just speaks to Dad’s heart.”
Lin Qiao laughed Said: "Sometimes our Doudou family is very cute, and sometimes he can talk like a little adult."
When he was about to get off work the next afternoon, Huang Yading came again. She looked in good spirits and was much more cheerful than yesterday. Qiao was collecting the herbs dried in the yard into the house. Huang Yading helped bring two baskets of herbs into the house, and said enviously, "Doctor Lin, I also want to be a doctor like you to treat diseases and save lives." Lin Qiao said
: "It's good to have this kind of heart. I can borrow you a few books on Chinese medicine. You can see if you are interested."
Huang Yading was a little shy: "I don't know how to read. I haven't finished reading in the second grade of elementary school. My name I can’t even write.”
Lin Qiao said, “Then you can borrow the elementary school textbooks to read, at least you have to know all the characters, and you must also be able to do arithmetic.”
Dr. Lin encouraged her to learn characters and culture, so she must learn!
"I'll borrow books as soon as possible to learn elementary school culture." Huang Yading said briskly, she felt that she really should learn some culture, after all, Lan Naren was a technical secondary school student, and she couldn't read big characters.
After collecting the herbs, Lin Qiao took out two pieces of good quality cloth from the house and gave them to her. They were the most popular white cloth and blue cloth: "It can be used to make white shirts and blue trousers.
" Rubbing it, he said happily: "Such a fine fabric, smooth and cool, thank you, Dr. Lin."
Mrs. Lin was kind-hearted, saved her from suffering, and generously gave her high-grade fabrics.
For a moment, she wanted to make clothes for herself, but she quickly rejected the idea. Of course, such high-end and fashionable fabrics should be made into clothes for Lan Naren.
Thinking this way, she said it out, she said that Lan Na was in a big city, and with the assignment of graduating soon, she needed better clothes.
Lin Qiao asked: "You and Lan Naren should have a good relationship."
Huang Yading nodded shyly, with a sweet expression on his face: "He didn't dislike me when he was admitted to technical secondary school, and said that we would get married after he graduated. At that time, he also wrote me a letter saying that if you can choose when assigning jobs, try to choose one that can convert your daughter-in-law into a non-farmer. I was worried, so I didn't dare to write to him. I know that I will definitely leave Qiongya Island sooner or later, and everyone will feel uneasy if I don't leave here. I think Lan Naren will definitely take me away." Lin Qiao was
curious What kind of young man is Lan Naren? She thinks he hasn't lost himself in the big city, so he should be pretty good.
Lin Qiao felt that Huang Yading was young, but she was very transparent. She said, "Then I wish you lovers will get married in advance."
Huang Yading's eyes glistened with tears, and most people on the island thought she was not good enough. At that time, Lan's family members were trying their best to stop the two of them, and only Doctor Lin sent his blessings.
Dr. Lin is also very kind, like a lamp, illuminating her world. With a sore nose, she said emotionally, "Dr. Lin, when I go back, I will study Chinese characters and mathematics seriously, and I will also concentrate on weaving Li brocade."
"You can ask me if you don't know anything in your studies." Lin Qiao said.
Huang Yading bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Doctor Lin."
Gu Lin recently arranged for someone to count the number of women on the island who can weave Li brocade, and most of the women in their thirties like Fu Zhenhua can weave Li brocade , There were not many people there, so he contacted the department store on Hainan Island and the supply and marketing cooperative to purchase the brocade.
Hearing this news, the women on the island were all beaming, which meant that they would have an extra sideline income.
The salesman in charge of purchasing Li Brocade from Hainan Island specially came to the island to explain the material, size, dyeing, pattern and other requirements to everyone. Only when there are rough standards can the price be determined.
After listening to the salesperson's detailed explanation, the women on the island are all gearing up to weave and embroider Li brocade when they have time.
The prestige of the troops stationed on the island is getting higher and higher. Since the troops came, they have clean fresh water to eat, island doctors, electricity available, and supply and marketing cooperatives that can buy daily necessities, and can sell dried seafood, fur When they are sold to supply and marketing cooperatives, some people will teach them how to grow crops, and their food production will increase. They can work in farms and shipyards, watch movies, and now they can sell Li Jin.
The standard of living is much better than before.
The village owners of several villages would bring prey from hunting, seafood or insoles made by women compatriots to the camp to support the army during the New Year and festivals. Gu Lin usually asked people to accept these military supplies and then gave an appropriate gift in return.
Military-civilian relations are very harmonious.
——Meng
Pandi found out that her cousin was always running to Lin Huaixuan's house recently. She took care of Xiaoshu some time ago, and she got to know both father and son well, so she seemed to have a reason to go to other people's houses. She came back from the farm and cooked and ate with her in a hurry, and then went to help people wash clothes, and came back after washing.
"Is Engineer Lin avoiding you?" Meng Pandi asked.
"No, he is busy with work, often in the office and workshop, and Xiaoshu is taken care of by the aunt next door in the family courtyard." Meng Cidi thought for a while and said.
"Then did he say anything, did he not let you go?" Meng Pandi asked again.
Meng Cidi lowered her head and said with a blushing face, "He didn't say anything, and I don't see him often." "
Then he is avoiding you on purpose? He is afraid of being gossiped."
"He is just busy with work.
" Pandi was confused by her cousin, anyway, she thought it was Lin Huaixuan who was worried about gossip, thought for several days, and finally said: "How about I be a matchmaker to match you and Engineer Lin, but I have to ask about this first." Ask Lin Qiao."
"Okay." Meng Cidi said.
Meng Pandi smiled and said: "You said you were with a boring gourd, yes, once I mention this, you promise to get it quickly." On
Saturday morning, Meng Pandi knew that Gu Lin had gone to the camp, and Doudou was playing with Xiao Wan'er , she was going to chat with Lin Qiao.
But as soon as she reached the door, Meng Cidi chased her out and said, "Third sister, don't mention it. If Engineer Lin disagrees, both parties will be embarrassed." Meng Pandi said, "That's not right, he doesn't like
it Don't go to his house in the future."
"Sister," Meng Cidi drawled her voice, "I went for Xiaoshu, not for him."
Meng Pandi laughed and said, "You are the only one who says that . Believe me, I can't stop other people's mouths, I'm such an adult, so I'll go."
Meng Pandi's second child is already eight months old, and her belly is obviously swollen.
Lin Qiao immediately gave her a seat and poured water, Meng Pandi sat down and said, "You are busy with your business, we live not far away, you are busy with work, and you haven't chatted for a long time, I will come to chat with you for a while, you Are these clothes for children?"
Lin Qiao sat back beside the sewing machine, nodded and said, "Make a pair of shorts for Doudou and Xiaoshu, the children grow up fast and are naughty, so they don't need pants.
" Like a grass, I think Xiaoshu is half a mother with an aunt like you." Meng Pandi said.
"My elder brother is busy with work and doesn't know how to take care of the baby. I definitely need to help more. A while ago, Cidi helped take care of Xiaoshu, so I haven't thanked her yet." Lin Qiao said.
"You are welcome, Cidi likes little trees very much." Meng Pandi said.
After chatting for a few more words, Meng Pandi asked, "Does your elder brother have any plans to remarry? He can't live alone all the time, and Xiaoshu also needs a mother." Lin Qiao nodded: "My elder brother is still young, so he must
. Let’s start a new family.”
After receiving an affirmative answer, they then talked about Meng Cidi, and learned that Lin Qiao’s brothers and sisters had a good impression of her, Meng Pandi said: “Cidi is my cousin, but she is not from our old Meng family. "
"Is she adopted?" Lin Qiao asked.
Meng Pandi sighed: "Yes, my younger sister has a hard life. She is still a young girl, but she is also a married person. If she remarries, she will be a second marriage." Hearing this, Meng Cidi's experience must be unusual
. , Lin Qiao was very interested: "Sister-in-law Meng, tell me." "
My second uncle was a soldier before, and he was comrade-in-arms with Cidi's father. The second uncle saved Cidi's father and hurt his life. The second uncle’s daughter died not long after she was born. Cidi’s father gave the newly born daughter to the second uncle. The second uncle retired from the army and took Cidi home. The two families have not been in touch since then. The second uncle and the second
aunt They are very kind to Cidi. Even if there is only one egg in their family, they will leave it for Cidi to eat. They even sell pots and iron for Cidi to go to school. Our sisters have not studied for a few days, but Cidi has been going to school. The second uncle and aunt are not missing. I was scolded by my grandma, saying that it would be a waste of money to raise a girl from another family. However, my second uncle and aunt passed away when Cidi was in her third year of high school. If they hadn't passed away one after another, Cidi should be able to enter the university. After the two left, the old couple immediately decided to find a husband's family for Cidi. Her partner was mentally ill, but his family could offer a bride price of 120 yuan, so my grandma sold Cidi.
Coincidentally, on the day when the wine was set up, there was a flood in the village, and the meal was not finished. Several people were washed away, and the mentally ill were also washed away and drowned. Cidi was returned to her natal family, and there were various sayings from all over the world, saying that Cidi was a broom star and a funeral star, who killed her parents and her partner, and whoever got involved would be unlucky.
Cidi lived with her bad reputation for several years, but fortunately no one dared to marry her, and her grandparents had no choice but to exchange her for a bride price. Some time ago, someone wanted to marry Cidi and gave her a gift of 80 yuan. She is mentally ill, and grandma wants to sell her again, but Cidi is not happy, so she joins me.
She has nowhere to go but me. All these years, my grandma has been trying to find a husband for Cidi. As long as she goes back, she will definitely marry that psychopath. My grandpa is simply not human. No matter what kind of man he is, as long as the bride price is good. "
Lin Qiao felt sorry when she heard this, and said, "Sister Meng, Pan Di has already reached the third year of high school, why didn't she go on to go to college, as long as she goes to college, she will be able to leave the family. "
As soon as the second uncle and aunt disappeared, all Cidi's books were sold as waste paper. She has no money and a bad reputation, so she can't do anything." Besides, Lin Qiao, if you might change your destiny by taking the university entrance examination, but Pandi and I have no such knowledge or ability at all. Meng Pandi said.
Lin Qiao said again: "Sister-in-law Meng, thank you for being a good sister and willing to take her in." Can you still find Cidi's biological parents, and are they still willing to recognize her? Meng
Cidi said: "The two families have no contact. It is said that her parents said that since Cidi was given away, Cidi is the daughter of the second uncle and aunt, and they will not interfere." But some people say that her parents are high officials. "
Lin Qiao was raised pampered by her parents and elder brother, and said, "Maybe her parents will feel sorry for her when they know what happened to her, and want to take her home." "
Meng Pandi is not as optimistic as she is, she likes to think about things in a bad way, and said: "Maybe her biological parents are also patriarchal, or her parents have many children, and they don't care about one more or one less." "
After talking about Meng Cidi's life experience, Meng Pandi finally got to the point and said, "Lin Qiao, I don't know if you can tell that Cidi likes your elder brother. I thought it's hard to find someone on this island, so why don't we match up?" Cidi and your elder brother, Cidi's education level is not as good as your elder brother's, but she is virtuous and can do everything, and she will definitely treat Xiaoshu like her own." Lin Qiao is not surprised, Meng Pandi is not a person who talks about everything , will not come to gossip about Meng Cidi's life experience for no reason. Besides, Meng Cidi blushes and shy every time she talks to her eldest brother, she can see it, and so can Meng Pandi, her cousin. Lin Qiao said: "Sister-in-law Meng, my elder brother is busy with work, and he didn't take care of the baby much before. Xiaoshu really needs a mother. Cidi said that he was married, but there are always people who don't mind. My elder brother is married twice." Bringing a baby, besides, my eldest brother is thirty-two years old, and he is eight years older than Cidi, isn't he too old?" After she said this, she thought about it, and Gu Lin was only three years younger than Lin Huaixuan, and also older than herself. She is six years older, but she feels that Gu Lin is very young and her elder brother is very old. The difference may be that she is divorced and has a baby. Meng Pandi searched for Lin Qiao and didn't feel that Cidi was not good enough for Lin Huaixuan, which gave her a little more confidence, and said: "Divorce with a baby, older age, as long as Cidi is willing, it's not a problem, it's just me I am worried that your elder brother will not like Cidi, after all, the family environment is too different from the level of education." Lin Qiao said, "You all know my father's situation." Meng Pandi didn't take it seriously at all: "We don't care about this, then Isn’t it just right for your elder brother to find a girl from a poor peasant family?” “Then I’ll ask my elder brother, my elder brother is more educated than me, I don’t know what he thinks about marriage, I’m not sure, I don’t know what my elder brother will What do you think?" Lin Qiao said. Meng Pandi thought, at least she had passed Lin Qiao's test, and she immediately beamed with joy: "Okay, you can ask him, I know that your family is a cultural person, and you must think differently from ordinary people, then I will wait for your news. It's fine if he's willing, but if he's not, I'll let Citi Shao run to him."
When Gu Lin got off work at noon, Lin Qiao told him about it. Gu Lin said, "If your elder brother wants to find a virtuous daughter-in-law to live a stable life, Meng Cidi is suitable. If he wants to find a like-minded woman who shares the same language, I guess he won't agree."
Chapter 35
Lin Huaixuan sneezed all day, thinking that someone must be talking about him. After dinner in the evening, Lin Qiao's family of three came over, to be exact, four, and the three of them even bounced around with a monkey.
Lin Qiao saw that there were not many things in these three rooms, they were clean and tidy, the glass and concrete floors were very clean, it must be thanks to Meng Cidi.
Xiaoshu immediately sent out an invitation: "Doudou, let's take Kongkong to play with other children, they must all like it."
Doudou said in the tone of a little adult: "Let's not go, my mother has something important to tell the grown-up. Uncle said, it has something to do with you, so listen too."
Lin Qiao bent down and stretched out her thumb and forefinger to pull down DouDou's ears, and said with a smile, "You little guy always listens to adults."
Xiao Shu was very happy. Curious: "Auntie, what do you want to say, tell me quickly."
In order to make the atmosphere more lively, Lin Qiao said, "I'm going to tell you a big gossip about Meng Cidi today, you must never think of it."
Xiao Shu was more moved than his father . Interested, said: "What's wrong with Aunt Meng, Auntie, hurry up and tell me."
Meng Cidi's life experience and experience are hard to explain in one word, Lin Qiao tried to speak concisely and understandably, and waited for her elder brother to make a comment after speaking.
Xiaoshu first said: "Auntie Meng is really pitiful. Her parents gave her away. I must make her happy when I see her."
Doudou suggested: "Let's let Kongkong perform a word recognition for Aunt Meng."
"Kongkong knows how to read." Can you read?" Xiaoshu was surprised.
"Yes, I taught." Doudou said proudly.
Lin Huaixuan said nonchalantly, "I didn't expect so many things to happen to her."
After talking about Meng Cidi's life experience, Lin Qiao said again: "I won't beat around the bush, just say it straight, Meng's sister-in-law came to me today and asked if you have any thoughts on remarrying, she wants to be a matchmaker for Cidi, and Cidi will always come to you Running here, you should be able to see her thoughts, Cidi is very willing, brother, I also want to know what you think, do you want to remarry, it is very difficult for you to bring Xiaoshu by yourself, you have to find a mother for Xiaoshu , What do you think of Meng Cidi?"
Xiaoshu understood, took Lin Qiao's hand and asked, "Are you a matchmaker for Aunt Meng and my father?"
Lin Qiao said yes with a smile.
Lin Huaixuan probably felt embarrassed, and said, "Kids, don't interrupt."
Under the pressure of his sister and brother-in-law's eyes, he said, "What can I think, I haven't been on the island for a long time, I just want to focus on work, and I don't want to worry about it." I haven't considered this aspect. Besides, Meng Cidi is too young, she is not considered a second marriage, and she has never been married and has not received a certificate, so she is not suitable for me." Gu Lin didn't want the siblings to argue, he spoke very directly: "Brother, are you I feel that I am an old cow and eat young grass. Who said that you can’t find a girl with a yellow flower after a second marriage? Meng Cidi thinks this is not a problem. She is also worried that you think her education level is low. Her advantage is that she is young and unmarried, and you have an advantage. The cultural work is good, but now she has nowhere to go, she is always a guest at her cousin and her husband's house, and she can settle down in peace even if she finds someone on the island." Lin Qiao pursed her lips and smiled, she originally wanted to say it tactfully, but Gu Lin said Straight to the point. "I don't think she has read too few books." Lin Huaixuan said. Gu Lin felt that there was a connection, and came forward to say: "Brother, we are all experienced, you should consider her as a person, if you can do it, you can't do it, don't make a fuss, like me and Lin Qiao, if you do it at that time. It's definitely not going to happen." Xiaoshu and Doudou were listening with ears pricked up, at this moment Xiaoshu hugged Lin Huaixuan's thigh and acted like a baby: "Dad, I like Aunt Meng, and Aunt Meng likes me too, let her be my mother " "Lin Qiao, what do you think?" Lin Huaixuan asked. Why do I always feel that it is a bit awkward for my sister and brother-in-law to be his matchmaker.
Lin Qiao also felt hopeful and said, "Brother, Cidi has been interested in you for a long time. I think she has fallen in love with you since you helped her at the pier. Battalion Commander Zhao and Sister-in-law Meng are also happy, and I think it's good too. It depends on what you want."
Gu Lin said: "You can treat the two of us as matchmakers, and if the matchmaker comes to propose a marriage, let me know if it's okay."
Lin Qiao said with a smile: "How can you be so anxious, generally no one will Are you saying that you are thinking about writing to me as soon as possible? Brother, you should think about it." "
What is there to think about? Both parties know the bottom line. It's okay to think about it? Like me and Lin Qiao, I saw Lin Qiao first. On the one hand, I only know that she is coming to the blind date party, but I don't know anything else, so I think she is my wife!" "
Then what if I'm not with you." Hearing that his tone was extremely firm, Lin Qiao hypothesized.
Gu Lin said: "Will the soon-to-be daughter-in-law let her fly?"
Doudou stretched out her small chest, tugged at the hem of her father's clothes, and said proudly, "Dad, if it weren't for me, Gu Doudou, Mom might really fly away.
" Lin picked up DouDou and said, "Okay, thanks to DouDou."
Lin Qiao looked at the father and son with a gentle and grateful tone: "Gu Lin, you are so kind, you have overcome all difficulties and stayed with me.
" Her straight waist was straightened up again, and she said confidently and confidently: "Then you have to be nice to me."
Lin Qiao was amused by his tone: "I'm very good to you
. " Treat Gu Lin as an important matter, and think about how to improve." Gu Lin looked at his wife's pretty face and said.
The corners of Lin Qiao's lips kept a nice curve, she turned her face to the side so that he wouldn't look at her, and said with a smile, "I don't know how to do it better." "I'll teach you,"
Gu Lin said.
Lin Qiao laughed silently.
Lin Huaixuan: "..."
These two people can show their affection at any time, what are they doing here!
Just thinking about whether to interrupt them, Xiao Shu ran over and said anxiously, "Dad, Aunt Meng likes me the most, and I want this mother. She never hurts me, speaks in a soft voice, and tells me stories." , will teach me how to write, and treat me better than my own mother.”
They thought that children didn’t understand anything, and they thought that four or five-year-old children would quickly forget their mother after not seeing each other for a long time, but Xiaoshu still hadn’t. .
"My own mother said that I was a capitalist's brat, and I might be dragged to criticize and tease me one day. Dad, what does this mean?" Xiaoshu asked.
This sentence left a deep impression on him. Although he didn't understand what it meant, he could tell the disgust in his tone and knew that it was not a good word.
Lin Qiao frowned slightly. How could anyone say that she kissed her son? She had already caused psychological harm to Xiaoshu, so she was not worthy of being a mother. She squatted down, held Xiaoshu's two little hands, and said, "Don't worry about what she says. Just forget about these words, it’s not worth remembering, and forget about your own mother.”
Xiaoshu nodded obediently: “Okay, aunt.”
Lin Huaixuan suddenly felt a little sad, turned his head to one side, and thought about it. Want to say: "Okay."
Gu Lin just wanted to praise him for his straightforwardness, so he heard him use Xiaoshu as a shield and said, "I mainly think about Xiaoshu. Since Xiaoshu recognizes her, then so be it.
" A little embarrassed, I thought it was better to let him be alone for a while, and said with a smile: "Well, Mrs. Meng and Cidi are waiting for the letter. We will go to her house when we get back." Xiaoshu was so happy that he said: "That's great
. Now, I will have a new mother in the future."
Lin Qiao said, "Let's go and talk first."
"I'll go with you." Xiao Shu couldn't wait to see Meng Cidi.
"Let's go, we'll send you back later." Lin Qiao said.
"We still have to ask our parents for their opinion." Lin Huaixuan said.
Lin Qiao stopped in her tracks: "My mother definitely agrees, and we can't discuss it with her at such a distance. I'll write to her and tell her that my father has to say something."
Gu Lin said, "I'll tell Dad."
"Dad will definitely agree." Lin Qiao said again.
The group walked towards the camp again, and Lin Qiao sighed, "Smooth than I expected."
As soon as they reached the gate of Battalion Commander Zhao's house, they saw a lot of hemp rope hanging in the yard, covered with clothes and bed sheets to dry , and even refurbished and redone the thin quilt.
"Aunt Meng, Aunt Meng." Xiao Shu shouted cheerfully.
Seeing the two little ones running into the yard together, Meng Cidi said, "I made coconut cakes and I was about to deliver them to you. They just happened to be here. Let's eat coconut cakes with Xiao Wan'er.
" The basin came out and greeted the two younger brothers: "Come and eat, it's sweet and soft."
"This is a big cleaning!" Lin Qiao asked when the three of them walked to the middle of the yard.
The sisters were all collecting their clothes, and when they saw Gu Lin coming, they hurriedly shouted into the room: "Lao Zhao, Gu Tuan is here, bring out two chairs."
"It's because Cidi felt uneasy, so she desperately washed her clothes, and I couldn't stop it." Meng Pandi nuzzled.
Lin Qiao smiled and said, "Cidi must be good at living. Are you working hard to divert your attention because you feel uneasy about my elder brother's affairs?
"
Lin Qiao said again: "We just came from my elder brother's place. We talked about it and my elder brother agreed." The
sun shone low and slanted, and a shadow flickered behind the bed sheet. Shrimp, was so pleasantly surprised: "Really, did you agree with us?" Meng Pandi didn't expect it to be so smooth, and said: "What else can happen, isn't that the same thing? Engineer Lin agrees , Cidi, your good days are coming." "What did Engineer Lin say? What does he think of me?" Meng Cidi tore off the bedsheets, hugged a big bag of clothes and sheets, and asked shyly with a blushing face.
Lin Qiao smiled and said, "He just said he agreed, and he didn't say anything special. You have to ask him what he thinks of you."
Meng Pandi was overjoyed, and urged, "Since both of you agree, Then get the marriage certificate as soon as possible, and you two can discuss the date by yourself."
Xiaoshu raised her head with a smile on her mouth: "Aunt Meng, when you marry my father, you will be my mother."
Meng Cidi felt extremely happy, and it turned out that she also To have such a good partner and sister-in-law, and to have a cute son who clings to her.
I can finally climb out of the quagmire.
She bent down, picked Xiaoshu up, kissed his cheek and said, "Okay, then you will be my son." ——They were
talking
about marriage, and Meng Cidi's parents got the news of their daughter.
There was no news for many years, and I didn't deliberately inquire about Meng Cidi's news, until the insider back then, their common comrade-in-arms, saw He Jiefang and told them about the daughter. He Jiefang and his wife didn't abandon their daughter, but since they gave away their daughter, as their biological parents, they didn't want to contact their adoptive parents and completely gave up their daughter to someone else. Although the comrade-in-arms knew about it, both families wanted to avoid suspicion, so he would not spread the word. When Meng Zhugen and his wife passed away, the comrade-in-arms wanted to say that He Jiefang had been transferred several times, and he had long been unable to contact the other party. It wasn't until they all went to the capital for a meeting that they saw each other. "Meng Zhugen and his wife are gone?" He Jiefang didn't expect both of them to leave so early. "Yes, your daughter has suffered an old crime." The comrade-in-arms vividly described Meng Cidi's experience. When He Jiefang came home and told about his daughter's situation, Jiang Chaoying cried like tears: "It's all your fault, and you don't have to send your daughter there to repay your kindness. You still don't allow me to contact the Meng family. Our daughter has suffered so much. have no idea."
Cidi was hugged to Meng Zhugen by a man when she was just one month old. Knowing that her husband was eager to repay her kindness, he said that they would have more children in the future. Although she was reluctant in every possible way, she agreed to send her daughter out.
Later, they did not have any children, and the couple only had one son.
"Let's go and bring Cidi back," Jiang Chaoying said.
He Jiefang rubbed his hands and paced back and forth: "Cidi has already escaped, and the old men and women of the Meng family can't find her everywhere."
Jiang Chaoying wailed loudly: "What have they forced Cidi to do? If you care about her and often inquire about her situation, she will not fall to this point, so what should we do, where can we find her!"
She was like a crazy lioness: "If there is something wrong with Cidi, or I can't find her. Cidi, I will fight with you and the old men and women of the Meng family, and I will kill them." "
Calm down, let's think of a way." He Jiefang persuaded his wife.
"It's easy for you to say, it's all your fault, why should you let me calm down." Jiang Chaoying cried.
"I didn't expect this to happen either. If I knew that Cidi was doing so badly, I would have brought her back a long time ago." He Jiefang couldn't say he regretted it, but he was very sorry.
They are now desperately looking forward to getting their daughter back.
He Jiefang and Jiang Chaoying both asked for leave, and ran all the way to Mengjiazhuang to find their daughters.
"We need to stabilize the old men and women of the Meng family and let them find someone. You must be polite." He Jiefang told his wife.
Jiang Chaoying snorted, I wish I could throw them into prison.
"Uncle, aunt, hasn't Meng Cidi opened a letter of introduction to the captain, so where can she go?" He Jiefang was very clear-headed.
"No, we asked. She didn't issue a letter of introduction. We searched all relatives, but we couldn't find her. Don't worry, she can't go far without a letter of introduction." Old Man Meng said.
The old men and women of the Meng family have found a new way to make money.
Meng Cidi's biological father is actually the head of the People's Armed Forces Department of a certain district in Haicheng. The couple are stylishly dressed and both wear watches, so they must be rich!
They did not abandon Meng Cidi, but they cared about her very much and must take her away.
They found that not only can they ask for gift money from their in-laws for Cidi, but they can also return Cidi to her biological parents. After all, the Meng family has raised them for so many years, and they can ask He Jiefang for a large sum of money, which is much more than the gift money. many.
Old man Meng patted his chest and promised: "We will definitely get Cidi back." He
had to find her before He Jiefang and his wife, so as to save them from taking the daughter away without giving money.
He Jiefang was very polite, and left his address and phone number and said, "Uncle and Madam, please let me know. If there is any news about her
, please let us know immediately." money, and even shamelessly begged for the expenses of raising Cidi for many years.
"We can't go out to find Cidi without the travel expenses, and we have to count the money for delaying work." Old lady Meng said with a shy face.
"Your conscience was eaten by dogs, and you all forced Cidi away. Now she doesn't know whether she is alive or dead. You should be thankful if you didn't pursue her. Where did you have the face to ask for money?" Jiang Chaoying was very angry. Jiang Chaoying wanted to quarrel, but the daughter hadn't been found yet, and He Jiefang didn't want to quarrel with the second elder. He forcibly pulled his wife back and left twenty yuan before the elder couple let them go. After He Jiefang and his wife left, they asked people everywhere for their daughter's whereabouts. But the Meng family is different. The two walked forward, and the old man urged the family: "Now Cidi is our family's cash cow. If you don't go to work these days, you have to get her back." The old lady began to imagine: "Old Meng The family has raised Cidi for so many years, but we can’t raise her for nothing. If we find her, we will ask her parents for a thousand or eight hundred.” The old man flatly denied: “No, this little is not enough, it costs two thousand, and our family needs five thousand. There is a big tile-roofed house, and one thousand yuan should be left for Tianbao."
Hearing his grandpa's arrogant words, Meng Tianbao was really elated: "Master, with so much money, I don't believe that I can't marry Tian Xiaohua.
" Gao, ordinary girls don't like her, only Shangcunhua, but many people think about it, if his family has so much money, Tian Xiaohua will definitely be willing to be with him.
Meng Tianbao took twenty yuan and went to find Tian Xiaohua. After drawing her a big cake, Tian Xiaohua had a good face for him for the first time.
"Your family really has so much money?" Tian Xiaohua asked happily.
"That's for sure. My sister has no letter of introduction and no money. He can't stay outside. She will definitely come back. Her father is a minister. We have such a relative in our family. It will be convenient for us to do something in the future." .” Meng Tianbao rubbed his hands and said complacently.
"That's about the same." Tian Xiaohua said.
Meng Tianbao was so happy that he couldn't find Bei, so he took Tian Xiaohua to the city to buy some clothes. The twenty yuan was put into his pocket and disappeared before he warmed it up.
And Jiang Chaoying recently angered her husband, complaining that he was the head of the personal military department and couldn't find her daughter.
He Jiefang said that he really had no choice. When Cidi left home, not only did he not open a letter of introduction, but also there was no trace of using the household registration book. Where do you think he can find it!
——You
can’t get a marriage certificate on the island, so you have to go to Rongcheng, or someone who handles the marriage registration will go to the island to "office on site" to register the marriage for the couple. It is inconvenient for Lin Huaixuan to ask for leave on weekdays these days. People who leave the island to go to the Rongcheng Revolutionary Committee on Sundays do not go to work, and they cannot get a marriage certificate. He and Meng Cidi plan to go to get the certificate after a while.
After all, she was ready to receive the certificate, and Meng Cidi often went to Lin Huaixuan's house.
On Sunday afternoon, Lin Huaixuan returned from the office to the family home, and saw a row of clothes hanging on the clothesline at the door. The house was quiet and everything was cleaned up. Meng Cidi was sewing shorts for Xiaoshu. Xiaoshu was tired from playing and was sleeping. .
"Cidi, it's really troublesome for you to do housework and cook at the same time." Lin Huaixuan said.
"No trouble, this housework is very simple." Meng Cidi blushed slightly, feeling that the other party was polite, grateful, and caring.
She had had enough of the gossip in the country and felt comfortable with educated people.
"If you use a sewing machine, you can go to Lin Qiao's, and you can go to her house anytime." Lin Huaixuan said.
Meng Cidi nodded: "Lin Qiao also said the same, just a pair of shorts, and they will be finished soon."
The room was still very quiet, only the sound of flying needles and threads could be heard.
Lin Huaixuan said, "Cidi, do you like your name?" "
Of course I don't. This name was given by my grandparents. All the sisters in our family have the word Di in their names. It has nothing to do with me whether I have a younger brother or not. "Meng Cidi said.
"Your name is feudal dross, so you can change your name. We just changed our name when we got the certificate." Lin Huaixuan suggested.
Changing a new name seems to start a new life.
Meng Cidi looked at Lin Huaixuan. Lin Huaixuan was the first good person she met after she ran out. When she met Lin Huaixuan, her gloomy life became bright and vivid. She said: "You can name me." Lin Huaixuan said: "You
too Having gone to high school, I have the ability to give myself a good name."
Meng Cidi smiled and said: "You are educated, so you should name it for me."
Lin Huaixuan said several names in one breath, and said, "Which one do you like?"
Meng Cidi Looking at Lin Huaixuan, his eyes were full of admiration. This man respected her very much and let her make her own choice. She said, "Meng Yunxiu, is that okay ?
"
"Then I will be called Yunxiu from now on. I never thought I could have such a nice name."
Lin Huaixuan encouraged her: "Yunxiu, you have to be confident, you are still young, good-looking, and have gone to high school , you will surely have a happy life.”
"I feel very happy now." Meng Yunxiu was so moved that she wanted to cry. No one on the island said she was a funeral star or a broom star. Lin Huaixuan had never underestimated her, and even spoke of her so highly. She has no self-confidence, and feels that she has been struggling in the mud, but Lin Huaixuan would encourage her so much.
She never took her eyes off him, and there was a bright look in her eyes.
"Thank you," she said.
With a new name, after leaving Lin Huaixuan's house, Meng Yunxiu came to Lin Qiao and happily told her that he had a new name.
"It's the name your elder brother gave me." Meng Yunxiu said proudly, "Your elder brother said this name means that I hope that I will be free in the future, without any constraints, and live a peaceful, peaceful, and happy life. I can't think of your elder brother. Knowing my mind so well, this is my greatest expectation. Lin Qiao, I really like this name, what do you think?" "It sounds good,
Yunxiu, I called you this name before you became my sister-in-law. " Lin Qiao said.
Lin Qiao thought that her elder brother must also wish to be unfettered and free.
When the future sister-in-law called this name, her voice was soft and soft, which made Meng Yunxiu feel that this name sounded better.
Seeing Meng Yunxiu smiling all the time, Lin Qiao joked, "Yunxiu, do you like big brother very much?"
Meng Yunxiu pursed her lips and smiled, "Yes, I think fate has favored me to have such a good husband and sister-in-law. "
You and my eldest brother will be happy." Lin Qiao said.
Knowing that her cousin had changed her name, Meng Pandi also clamored to change her name.
She asked Zhao Qiangguo: "You said our sister's name is so nice. I don't want to be called Pandi either. Why should I want to look forward to my brother? What should I change my name?" Zhao Qiangguo said: "It's so troublesome to change your name. Your household registration
book It’s very troublesome to change, and I can’t change the marriage certificate. Our sister is different, she just got the certificate, and she will go back to the commune to change her residence later.” Meng Pandi thought about it, and
it was really troublesome, so she said: “Okay, it will be convenient later. Change the name and change it."
Zhao Qiangguo's parents went to the island to take care of the confinement for their daughter-in-law, take care of their grandchildren, and leave when the children are older.
Seeing Meng Yunxiu on the island, Aunt Zhao quickly took her hand and said, "Cidi, so you are on the island, your grandparents are looking for you everywhere, your parents have come to Mengjiazhuang to look for you, you Grandma also said that if you were on the island, let us write to them."
Meng Pandi reacted more violently than her cousin, and said, "What, Yunxiu's parents are here?" "
No, this matter People from all over the world know that they and people from Mengjiazhuang are looking for you everywhere, and they will give you money if they find you. Everyone wants to get rewards, so they have searched everywhere." Mrs. Zhao said.
