Chapter 131 Cherish Life

I have to take care of everything and spend a lot of time and effort.

Although some things cannot be said in detail, I have made such a great effort, so I still have to let the other party know.

I can't do good things without leaving my name.

Liu Qingqing: "Brother, don't worry about the sheep last time. I have sent the person away."

Liu Dongfang was carefully studying the girl's driving movements.

After teaching this, he had to do it himself.

"Ah, yes, sister wanted to tell me this a few days ago." I was embarrassed to speak.

I was also a little worried that the job that was about to be in hand would fall through.

Liu Qingqing pursed her lips and talked about her gift of cigarettes and tea: "These relationships should be maintained. They are both capable people. They don't like ordinary things. If you can get something rare, give it to me. If you can't get it, you can also come to me."

Sales will always exist.

Liu Dongfang was touched. His sister took care of him too much.

After a few simple instructions, Liu Qingqing stopped the car and motioned Liu Dongfang to change seats.

She valued her life so much that she would never sit in Liu Dongfang's co-pilot.

He has learned almost everything at this time. The two of them will find an empty place.

Let Liu Dongfang practice alone in a while.

As for himself, he stayed far away.

Cars and other things are not as important as himself.

Liu Dongfang climbed into the driver's seat and touched the steering wheel excitedly.

Every part looked familiar yet strange. He took a deep breath and wore a smile that he couldn't suppress.

Just when he wanted to tell his sister not to worry, he looked up and saw that his sister had already walked deep into the wheat field.

And she was still going inside...

His smile froze on his face, showing how much he didn't trust himself.

Silently closing the car door, he began to operate step by step according to his sister's instructions.

Liu Qingqing turned back and measured the distance. Well, there shouldn't be any problem.

Even if he stepped on the accelerator incorrectly, the ditches and bumps in the wheat field could stop him.

Watching Liu Dongfang drive slowly, although it was bumpy, it was still stable, and she felt relieved.

If the car was really damaged, it would be quite troublesome.

Liu Dongfang...

Liu Qingqing waited until he drove around and around, then stopped the car and got out.

Then she moved to the main road.

No matter how confusing Liu Dongfang's expression was, she remained calm.

Well, people must cherish their lives. There is no driving school at this time.

Otherwise, I would never teach others to drive.

————————————

Old lady Liu stayed with her for a while, and seeing that she ate well and slept well, she went back.

It was so hot, and it was really uncomfortable for two people to squeeze into one bed.

She was not an old lady who didn't understand things and only knew how to enjoy herself.

Mother Liu gave herself a thumbs up in her heart.

Carrying a small bag, she got on the big car and went back to the village.

The villagers were used to her going back and forth.

It was not surprising, even Zhang Daqin, the big mouth, didn't want to pay attention to her.

The old way of showing off every day was not attractive.

When Old Lady Liu got off the car, she didn't receive any attention from everyone, and no one wanted to listen to her showing off.

She was very unhappy.

Humph, sooner or later she will have a big one, so that these old women can learn a lesson.

In the blink of an eye, it was July, and Liu Qingqing's belly was already visible.

It was mainly because it was summer, and everyone wore less.

The belly of more than five months was actually not that big.

She controlled her food intake and didn't eat or drink a lot, just like usual.

At most, she drank some milk powder and malted milk to supplement.

The fruits in the space were also mixed in the same way.

She also eats coarse grains every now and then, and takes vegetables and vegetables to make her nutrition balanced.

The old doctor nodded every time, saying that she was well-nourished.

As for the small pills, she didn't take any of them.

Medicines are toxic to some extent. Adults can absorb them, but I don't know if children can.

Wuning's summer is hot, but the sun is also very scorching.

When it is the hottest, the exposed skin can be sunburned and cracked.

In fact, as long as you avoid the time period of two or three in the afternoon, there will be no problem.

Usually, there will be cool breezes blowing in under the shade of trees and in the house.

At night, it was even cooler. Without the sun, the temperature outside was just right. She could move a recliner to the yard and lie down. If there were no mosquitoes, it would be the best time...

Director Li knew that she was leaving soon, so the purchasing work was gradually taken back.

She was now just doing the work for a salary, not doing much.

It was also because she had thought about this problem. She was worried that the person who took over would find out about the situation. Another reason was that the purchasing volume when she was there was different from the purchasing volume after she left.

It is better to be safe than sorry, so she stopped adding goods some time ago.

She was not too worried when someone else took over.

Chapter 132 Picking up people

The time of departure is getting closer and closer.

As soon as Liu Qingqing received her salary for July, she went through the handover procedures with Liu Dongfang.

Sister-in-law Ping Xianghong is a decisive person. She hasn't waited for the day yet.

She has enough money and hurriedly brought it over.

Ping Xianghong touched her newly pregnant belly. This one didn't come easily. She waited and looked forward to it for so many years.

Good things happened one after another during this period.

"If my sister needs my brother and sister-in-law in the future, we will never hesitate."

Liu Qingqing took the money with a smile and looked at her dusty bicycle: "Sister-in-law, will you take over the bicycle?"

Liu Dongfang runs between the village and the town every day. It's not bad to have a bicycle.

Ping Xianghong pondered and looked at it. The bicycle was quite new. Even if it was second-hand, it was worth a lot of money.

"Sister, to be honest, we don't have any money on hand..."

Liu Qingqing nodded: "I know, I'm not in a hurry to use the money. Sister-in-law, if you want to keep it, you can write me an IOU first. As for the money, I will pay it back next year when my brother gets enough salary to live at home."

Ping Xianghong smiled happily and wrote an IOU.

After Liu Qingqing took her to transfer the car, she wrote a sales contract for her.

Director Li accepted the benefit and didn't have a card case.

In fact, it is more convenient for a male comrade to come to the purchasing department than a female comrade, but he won't be able to drink Xiao Liu's tea in the future, which is a bit of a pity.

Until Liu Dongfang introduced himself and smiled innocently.

Director Li's eyes were bright again.

As for the work permit, Liu Qingqing did not return it, and Director Li did not keep an eye on it. He also gave her a few stamped letters of introduction.

Convenient for others, convenient for yourself.

Liu Qingqing thanked with a smile, and flattered him as usual.

Director Li was greatly comforted. He felt that Xiao Liu's words were more or less sincere after being flattered by Xiao Liu.

Look, he has left but still does not change his original intention. What a good comrade.

Liu Dongfang's other door was also opened. He stared at the interaction between the two people in front of him with sparkling eyes, without blinking, for fear of misremembering the words.

Now I just want to find a pen and paper to take notes...

————————

Everything was handled properly, and the only thing left was the luggage.

She planned to simply carry her personal belongings in a bag and walk over lightly.

As for other things, she sent the big ones directly by mail, and put the small ones into the space.

If it was really inconvenient to take them, they could only be placed here.

She didn't plan to let anyone live in the house.

She would lock the house when she left and let the Zhou family take care of it.

Old Mrs. Liu refused to take the key to the house. What's the point of her living here once the old lady left?

It's better to live in the village.

As for food and vegetables, they must be clean and dry if they are not edible.

She left a little and asked the old lady to take them back when she left.

It was still early before the scheduled time, so she didn't rush to pack. She packed a little here and there every day.

She also took time to visit Fu Meili.

This girl suffered much more than her during her pregnancy.

She started vomiting everything she ate when she was about one and a half months pregnant.

If she didn't eat, she would vomit bile.

Mother Fu prepared sour plums, honey, ginger juice, and anything she heard was effective was given to the girl's house.

Mother Fu Meili also made her a folk recipe of wine-brewed dumplings.

But nothing worked.

When there was really no way to relieve the pain, she got medicine prescribed by the hospital.

It's much better now, but she can only eat light food.

Liu Qingqing brought her a bag of soda biscuits.

This kind of salty biscuit has a certain effect on relieving morning sickness, and Fu Meili also likes it.

But it's rarely sold here.

Xu Fangqing's mother has a simple and honest face and a friendly attitude.

Her daughter-in-law is not feeling well these days, so she comes to cook for her every day.

"Xiaoqing, these cookies are beautiful and delicious, but I can't always let you take them. You must keep the money."

The two of them argued for a while, and Liu Qingqing agreed to take the money next time. Only then did Xu's mother give up.

After leaving the grain station's family compound, before reaching home, I saw my eldest brother Liu Dongfang wandering around from a distance.

"Brother, you came to see me?"

Liu Dongfang finally saw someone: "Sister, your brother-in-law called you and said he would come back to pick you up in three days."

Liu Qingqing blinked. Because it was inconvenient to make and receive phone calls, the two of them only contacted each other by telegram even if it was urgent. She didn't expect him to call.

"Brother, come in and have some water." He was sweating anxiously.

"No, sister, I'm leaving first. I'll bring my mother to see you tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." If his mother knew that his sister was leaving now, she might have to wipe away tears for a while.

Chapter 133: Knowledge of current affairs comes from the root

The next morning, when Liu Dongfang went to work, an old lady sat in the back seat.

He had been following Li Jun for a while and had also run a few short distances.

At first, he imitated the girl and called her master flatteringly.

As soon as the words came out, he blushed.

Oh, it was so embarrassing.

This master was only ten years older than him!

But he got used to it after calling her that. Every time he blushed, he would think of the girl and feel more at ease.

Old lady Liu twisted in the back seat, it was too uncomfortable.

Nowadays, female comrades must sit sideways on bicycles.

To exaggerate a little, no matter you are eighty or eighteen, if you ride a bicycle astride, you will be labeled as a hooligan.

When Mrs. Liu first lived in the city, she heard the old ladies in the alley gossiping about a young wife who went out with a man and was criticized for her "hooligan sitting posture".

Although this incident made her a celebrity in the village for a while, it also left a deep mark in her heart, even though she was already an old man.

You can't guarantee that some black-hearted person will put the blame on her head. ,

If she hadn't had to, she really didn't want to ride this "broken bicycle".

Mrs. Liu jumped off in a hurry without waiting for her eldest son to stop.

Liu Dongfang frightened her and almost threw the bicycle away.

He crossed his legs and looked at Old Lady Liu. She was walking in small steps as if nothing had happened. In a blink of an eye, she stood in front of Liu Qingqing's courtyard and knocked on it with her hands.

Her mother's physical condition was better than Xiang Hong's.

After watching the old lady being welcomed into the house by her sister, he got on his bicycle again and hurried to the unit.

"Old lady, you are leaving as soon as you say you will. My heart is pounding... Have you packed everything?"

Old Lady Liu was about to speak hesitantly, but her full emotions were stuck in her throat as soon as she entered the house.

She looked around, and almost all the objects on the surface disappeared.

There were several bulging sacks in the corner of the main room.

At this time, sacks were called sacks in the village. At this time, this kind of sacks were used to pack food.

In the years when everyone ate from the same pot, "hemp" was an economic crop that the production team had to grow, just like wheat and corn.

It needed to be handed over to the government, and there was a special factory to weave and make sacks.

Sacks are strong and wear-resistant, and they are not afraid of being scratched along the way.

"I'll slowly pack them up when I have nothing to do."

The state just now was interrupted by this, and Mrs. Liu was no longer in the mood to sing a song, and she said something here and there.

"Take all these when the time comes, anyway, Song Jinglin will come back and let him move them." She was originally quite satisfied with this son-in-law, but now it's not the same. Her good old lady was taken so far away, and it would be difficult for her to see her again.

When she thought of this, her nose was sour.

Her old lady has been very good to her in the past two years. She is willing to give her all kinds of delicious food and drinks, and even buys her cloth...

When Liu Qingqing saw that the old lady was really sad, she hurriedly took her to see the things she left for her.

Two bottles of malt extract, mixed with the "Bone Strengthening Powder" that she got last time with the good luck bonus.

This is specially for the elderly, so she didn't mix other pills in it.

Mainly because the big black pills tasted too bad and were really hard to mix.

Last time, the sesame powder mixed with medicine, old lady Liu always felt that it had mixed with something.

There were also some fine grains, coarse grains, thermos bottles and the like.

Old lady Liu's eyes were shining, and she rubbed them one by one.

"Don't you take these with you?"

"It's not easy to carry. The food is too heavy. The thermos will break easily if it is knocked."

Old Lady Liu nodded repeatedly: "That's right. OK, OK, I'll take it back. You can get it from me when you come back."

She fumbled with the malted milk: "I won't take this stuff. You keep it for drinking."

Although it was rare, she was an old woman. Why would she need malted milk?

Liu Qingqing pushed her into her arms: "I bought these two specially for you. They are good for your health, but don't drink too much. Just one cup a day is enough. If you drink too much, it will be bad for your health."

Old Lady Liu's head was nodding like a chicken pecking at rice. She was absolutely relieved. She was not a shallow-minded old woman. She would definitely not do anything that was bad for her health. She cherished her life.

She asked the old lady about the house again. Seeing that she really didn't want to live there by herself, she shook her head like a toad, and she didn't say anything more.

Old Lady Liu, who planned to stay there until Song Jinglin came back, followed her eldest son back to the village the next day because she got these things.

Her life experience told her that she couldn't take a lot of bags in front of her son-in-law.

He still has his parents, what will he think? He must be awkward with his daughter.

As for showing off?

She, Li Guihua, only shows off herself.

She never shows off these rare things.

It makes people jealous.

The things that have been packed.

They were carried to the post office by Liu Dongfang.

At the post office, they still have to open and check, re-pack, and then sew the mouth with needle and thread.

These things that are not needed will be sent out, and the rest will have to be carried with you.

Don't expect to receive these packages for ten days or so.

Chapter 134 Two Days and One Night

I asked Xu Fangqing to buy two sleeper tickets in advance.

If I buy them on the day, they may not be available.

Since Song Jinglin said he would be home in three days, he must have boarded the train.

Even if something unexpected happened, he could change the ticket.

The thirty-eight-hour journey was staggering.

To stay on the train for two days and one night.

It was a relief to have a direct train. It would have been even more difficult to reverse in the middle of the journey.

There were no ticket sellers on the way.

After Liu Qingqing got up, she rolled up the quilt.

The blanket had to be taken away.

At that time, the supplies were tight, and it was impossible to buy them when she got there.

She was too lazy to make breakfast. The finished products made in the space could last her for one or two months.

After eating a bun and drinking a bowl of porridge, she went to the yard to do some simple stretching exercises. She had cleaned up the house so well that she didn't know what to do anymore. When Song Jinglin pushed the door open, he saw his wife stretching her arms and legs with her bulging belly. He was so scared that his heart skipped a beat. "Wife, slow down." He spoke softly, worried that he would scare her if he moved too loudly. Liu Qingqing saw him as soon as the door made a sound. "It's okay, I just stretched, I didn't jump or jump." Her face was slightly flushed after she had just stretched, and she stood there with a smile. Her pretty appearance made Song Jinglin dazed. His wife was beautiful again. He went over to hold Liu Qingqing's arm, carefully looked at her belly, walked two steps into the house, and looked at her belly again, repeatedly making Liu Qingqing laugh.

Knowing that he must have not eaten anything on the way.

Liu Qingqing let go of his hand and turned to go into the kitchen.

It was the same breakfast as hers, and she prepared it for him just after she finished eating.

But the porridge was a little cold.

It was just right for summer.

Song Jinglin felt relieved to see how much his wife missed him.

This is the feeling of home!

Quickly shoveling breakfast into his mouth, Song Jinglin and his wife squeezed into a spring and autumn chair and looked at the slightly round belly carefully.

"Wife, have you felt uncomfortable these past few months?"

His wife always wrote letters to report good news but not worries, always saying that everything is fine.

But he also knew something. How could such a big bulge not hurt or itch?

Liu Qingqing didn't say that everything was fine at this time: "It's okay. He hasn't been very good recently. He often punches and kicks inside."

As for fetal movement, she said it in an artful way. She didn't say whether it was uncomfortable or not.

Sometimes, don't be too strong.

If you say everything is good and everything is fine, the other party will get used to it and think that you are really fine.

In the future, if you say something is wrong or uncomfortable, you will be labeled as hypocritical.

It's not worth it.

It's better to be "hypocritical" from the beginning.

Song Jinglin frowned and said worriedly: "I'll take you to the hospital."

"Let's see next month. We've checked this month."

As they talked, the baby in her stomach seemed to feel a different breath, and a small round bag suddenly bulged out.

Song Jinglin was so scared that he wanted to cover it with his hand, but stopped halfway, looking up at his wife in confusion.

What should I do (⊙o⊙)!

Liu Qingqing gave him a soothing look: "It will be fine in a while."

The baby in her stomach is actually lazy and doesn't move much. She was a little worried before and went to the hospital to see it, but the old doctor said helplessly that it was fine.

This time, it moved a little and then became quiet again.

Song Jinglin stared at her closely and waited for a long time. When he saw that his wife's expression did not change, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He had heard of fetal movement, but he had never seen it.

Although his wife said it was not too painful, he still felt uneasy.

Chapter 135 Sending off

Early in the morning, Liu Dongfang thought that he would ride his bike to help his sister get some things, and just send her off.

But his mother didn't want to, and the child also followed to join in the fun.

When his daughter-in-law heard that they were all coming, she wanted to come too.

He was not very familiar with the bicycle skills, and after some worrying research, he decided to let his daughter-in-law hold the child and sit in the back, and his mother would sit on the beam.

When Mrs. Liu heard her eldest son's idea, she almost spit at him.

She rolled her eyes at him.

I don't want to suffer that, and besides, riding a bicycle is not safe, and it is easy to be accused of a crime.

She directly pulled her daughter-in-law and took her granddaughter to the ox cart in the village.

Liu Dongfang nodded, got on the bike and followed.

...

Song Jinglin checked the front and back of the house, fixed the windows and locked the door.

Then he picked up the sacks, carrying one and holding one, and carrying two in each hand.

Liu Qingqing's big handbag containing toiletries and food and drinks on the way was also snatched away by him.

Song Jinglin had a lot of things, and he could no longer hold a hand to help his wife. He was a little worried that she would be bumped into.

"Wife, you go in front." He followed closely and could react to anything.

Liu Qingqing put on the "Service for the People" bag.

She refused Song Jinglin's hand.

"Such a small bag is not heavy. There are tickets and documents in it, which will be useful later."

Besides, she would not fight an unprepared battle.

She raised her wrist to check the time, and it was almost time.

After leaving the yard, Liu Qingqing locked the door.

She has lived in this house for a long time. I don't know if I can come back to live here. I feel a little sad.

"Old lady, mother is here!"

Liu Qingqing's emotions suddenly stopped. Oh, this tune reminded her of a skit.

Turning back, a group of people from the Liu family appeared at the entrance of the alley.

"Mother, sister-in-law, why are you all here?" She said she didn't need to see her off, but she didn't even let Liu Dongfang come over.

Liu Lili ran to the front with her legs shaking: "Auntie, there's me, there's me."

"Yes, there's also our little Lili."

Liu Dongfang took the sack hanging on Song Jinglin and put them on the bicycle one by one.

Old Lady Liu held the hand of her daughter, and Liu Lili quickly grabbed the other hand when she saw this.

Liu Qingqing was sandwiched between the two, listening to what they said, and couldn't help laughing.

Ping Xianghong glared at his daughter, and never showed such a servile look to her mother.

After leaving the alley, a big Jiefang was parked on the road.

Li Jun jumped out of the car: "Little apprentice, the car is delivered to you."

"Thank you for thinking about me, Master. I have been grateful for your care in the past two years. Master, this is my wife Song Jinglin, Jinglin, this is the Master Li Jun who taught me how to drive..."

I did mention it when I was looking for a topic in the letter.

Li Jun was very happy to hear this, and he greeted everyone with a smile, especially Song Jinglin. From what his little apprentice occasionally said, this guy has a strong relationship in the team. If his child goes in this direction in the future, it will also be a help. Even if it may not be useful, it is good to maintain a good relationship.

After a brief chat, Li Jun glanced at Liu Dongfang to the side, fearing that he would delay Liu Qingqing and the others' time to catch the car. He was really not sensible and could not catch up with his little apprentice.

It would be fine if he didn't understand, but he was still stubborn.

"Xiao Liu, since you are here too, you can drive over and return it to the supply and marketing cooperative after use."

Liu Dongfang said "ah" and reacted.

He had never thought about driving the supply and marketing cooperative's car. Alas, his mind is still not active enough.

Li Jun gave the space to the family, took Liu Dongfang's bike, waved and walked away.

——————————

A group of people stood by the platform, listening to the loud speaker announcing that train No. 6905 would be delayed by half an hour.

Even though the train was 100% delayed at this time, no one was really late.

Xu Fangqing's ticket seller relative gave out a middle berth and a lower berth.

At their station, it was good to have a lower berth.

As soon as the train stopped, the crowd on the platform rushed forward like a tide.

Especially after hearing "the train will stop for two minutes", the people around seemed to be poured with a pot of hot oil, and they pushed each other anxiously.

Song Jinglin quickly turned around to protect the people.

The group of people arrived at the door of the hard sleeper compartment with difficulty.

Liu Qingqing was sent up by Song Jinglin first, and then turned around to receive the luggage handed up by Liu Dongfang.

It was very difficult to check tickets at the door at this time. The train attendant could not stop the swarming crowd from squeezing up. Even if they did not have tickets or had hard seat tickets, they would still go in from this side.

Song Jinglin supported himself for a while with his strong arm strength, and after receiving three luggage bags, he had to give up the door because there were still people waiting to get on the train behind.

Liu Qingqing opened a window, stuck his head out and shouted: "Brother, pass it from this side."

Liu Dongfang hurried to the window, and Heping and Xianghong worked together to stuff the luggage in.

Until the train started, the few of us had not yet experienced any sadness of parting. We stood on the platform and shed tears. We only felt that after this period of nervousness and busyness, our foreheads and backs were all sweaty...

Chapter 136 Big World

Liu Qingqing took out her handbags, and Song Jinglin lifted the rest of the things one by one onto the shelf.

Before they finished packing, the train attendant started checking tickets.

Although it was very crowded to get on the train, there were still many empty seats in the carriage.

There were only a few people in the sleeper car where they were.

Come to think of it, this is a long trip.

Wuning is a small station that the train has just departed from, so some tickets must be reserved for the big station behind.

"I'll go get some water to dry." Song Jinglin took out a large teapot. He just noticed that the water at the head of the carriage had boiled.

Liu Qingqing leaned against the head of the bed and nodded.

After thinking about it, she got up and took out the lunch box from under the bed and put it on the side of the table.

In this hot weather, if you keep it in, it will easily go bad.

She didn't prepare too much food for the trip.

It was only enough for today, and you would have to eat it on the train tomorrow.

Unlike when Song Jinglin was traveling back and forth, it was winter when he was there, so the food could be stored.

In August, if you store it for too long, you might get an upset stomach.

In fact, if you bring harder steamed bread and dry food, it won't go bad.

But they are not poor, so why bother themselves.

The food sold in the dining car at this time tastes good, not much different from that in the state-owned hotel.

It was really boring to sit there for a while.

She took out a collection of quotations from her small bag.

Alas, more than 30 hours, it would be boring if I didn't bring something to kill time.

She also prepared a few newspapers, and she would read newspapers when she had read enough quotations.

These two things are the safest, and no one can find anything wrong with them.

...

————————

Old lady Liu held Liu Lili in her arms and sat in the passenger seat, her head drooping.

Liu Dongfang glanced at his mother, and the words he wanted to say turned around in his mouth and swallowed them back.

He should learn to be smart and not take the initiative to send him forward at this time.

Liu Lili's eyes rolled around. She was shocked by the scene at the station just now. When she wanted to say a few more words to her sister-in-law, her hand was held tightly by her mother, for fear that the crowd would disperse.

She had heard from her uncle that the place where her aunt and her family were going was better and bigger than the town.

A lot of the rare food that her aunt brought back was from big cities.

She wanted to go...

"Grandma, don't be sad. When Lili grows up, I'll take you to Xiping to see my aunt." Look, she even remembered the place name so well. She hasn't forgotten it after such a long time.

Old Lady Liu's eyes lit up. Hey, this is a good idea.

When her daughter gives birth, she will go to take care of her during the confinement period. Isn't a mother much better than an old lady?

Can Old Lady Song be asked to do such a face-saving thing? Don't even think about it.

The more she thinks about it, the more reliable it is. By then, she will be an old lady who has seen the world.

The love for this granddaughter was not in vain. She stroked the little girl's fluffy head and said, "My eldest granddaughter is really considerate. When you get home, go with grandma. Grandma has canned food."

Liu Lili smiled and said, "Grandma, I won't eat your canned food. You can make up for it yourself. But if you find it boring to eat alone in the future, just call me, Lili, to talk to you and relieve your boredom."

Look, there is no nice thing said in vain.

Of course, this also depends on who she is talking to. To the one who is searching and doesn't like her.

For example, her second aunt, even if she is praised by her second aunt as the Queen Mother, she will not give her a good look.

Ah, bah, bah, the term Queen Mother is not allowed to be said.

If her grandma knew, she would definitely twist her ears.

Liu Dongfang was almost amused by the lady's company, and secretly held back his breath. His mother was suddenly excited again, and who knows what she might have in mind...

————————

Zhang Dani, who was far away in Taoshan Village, sneezed. She rubbed her nose and continued to criticize Liu Dongyuan: "We are brothers, how come he can get real benefits? A bicycle, a job? What do you have? Nothing, not even a hair."

Liu Dongyuan was a little accustomed to Zhang Dani's fickleness. He felt that she had been a little abnormal since she got pregnant.

She might be in a low mood at the moment, and she might get angry and lose her temper after a while.

He patted his lady lightly and didn't say anything.

Although what Zhang Dani said was true, he knew his younger sister. She was a money-grubber. What's wrong with being a brother? Even if they were her own mother and father, she would not give them away for free.

Just look at the debts that his elder brother had everywhere.

If he really gave it to him, would he have the money to buy it?

I heard that his elder sister-in-law's family had borrowed more than 70 yuan.

He glanced at Zhang Dani. If her family didn't bring back enough things during the Chinese New Year, she could get them out.

Chapter 137 Family Courtyard

Liu Qingqing slept soundly during this afternoon nap, and it was almost evening when she woke up.

Many people had already boarded the train, and the carriage was filled with various noises.

It is said that children do not need a very quiet environment when they sleep, and it is easier to sleep soundly with some white noise.

It is true that this kind of noise that is not too loud is very helpful for sleeping.

As soon as Liu Qingqing moved, Song Jinglin, who was sitting at her feet, felt it.

He helped her with his hand: "Do you want some water?"

Liu Qingqing nodded and took the teacup he handed over: "Where are we?"

Song Jinglin spit out the two words "Si Shui".

Liu Qingqing didn't know which Si Shui it was, and she was confused by these place names.

She must buy a map to study it if she has the chance.

Every time she heard these unfamiliar names, she would sound a warning bell in her heart, reminding herself to be careful again.

It's time to have dinner, Liu Qingqing

She didn't meet any people who were looking for trouble in the novel routine along the way.

The people around her were relatively quiet, occasionally chatting with the people next to them, and more often they were lying on the bed and taking a nap.

It's just that the people on the swaying train are drowsy.

Not to mention the slow speed.

It also stops at unknown sections of the road from time to time.

From the beginning, it was half an hour late, and the following stopped and chased, and arrived at Xining Station, it was more than an hour late.

When the two left the station, it was already dawn.

They got on the car arranged by Song Jinglin and went further and further away.

It had been two hours since we arrived at the military district.

The family compound was not close to the military camp. After passing the military district, we drove for a few minutes and stopped in front of a small courtyard gate.

This row of courtyards were all independent courtyards with walls.

Looking back, there seemed to be five rows of bungalows.

Not far away was a four-story building with a red brick structure, which looked quite new.

To the right of the small building was a large courtyard with the words "Military Service Society" written on it, and a bathhouse next to it.

Perhaps because of the time, the few people did not see anyone in the family compound.

Song Jinglin opened the car door and helped Liu Qingqing get out of the car.

With her excellent physical condition, she felt exhausted in the past two days.

Song Jinglin took out the key and opened the gate.

Wang Xiangjun, who drove to pick them up, helped unload the luggage, blushed, put the candy that Liu Qingqing stuffed to him on the table, and ran away as if he was escaping.

Liu Qingqing shouted from behind but it didn't stop.

He looked around the house.

The house had good lighting, and the layout of three bedrooms and one living room was very spacious.

The kitchen was built at one end of the house, with an independent door, and had to enter from the yard, which might be due to the fumes running into the house.

Song Jinglin had cleaned the house in advance, and he had added some things in the past two months.

At least the basic furniture and cabinets were available.

The two of them only needed to clean up briefly and put on the bedding before they could move in.

As soon as Liu Qingqing stretched out her hand, she was stopped by Song Jinglin.

"Wife, you just sit here and give orders."

Liu Qingqing followed his advice and did not fight with him. She sat on the prepared bed and watched Song Jinglin unpack.

Then she kept hearing "Where should I put this?"

Liu Qingqing was not tired of it and gave detailed instructions for every question.

Sometimes women feel that the other party is asking questions knowingly. It's not uncommon for them to do this. Why do they ask this and that when they get to the other party? Are they unwilling to do it?

As she asked, she got annoyed. It was so much trouble for him to do it. It would be better to do it herself.

When she was a child, she often saw her parents doing this.

Finally, her mother angrily snatched the work from her father and said, "I don't need you anymore."

Liberate the other party and make yourself angry.

Many men are actually lazy. When they are used to a kind of rhetoric that can get rid of the troublesome work in their hands, they will often use it.

Liu Qingqing thought it was nothing more than a waste of words, and the man's attitude at this time was to take the initiative to do it, so let him do it.

Why do you have to snatch it and do it yourself? If he asks, you just answer.

It's just a few more words.

If it really doesn't work, prepare a teacup of water to moisten your throat...

While she was sitting on the side and letting her imagination run wild, Song Jinglin had already put the things in place obediently.

Well, this one in her house doesn't need her whole cup of water.

Chapter 138 Neighbors

After cleaning the house, Song Jinglin took his lunch box to the canteen.

Although there was some food at home, there was no vegetable.

After such a long time, they were too lazy to cook now.

The food in the military canteen was very good, and the two of them quickly solved their lunch.

After eating, Song Jinglin went to the team.

His leave was originally approved by special approval, so he had to report back as soon as possible.

——————

Although Liu Qingqing and his wife didn't meet anyone when they arrived, by noon, the neighbors around them basically knew about it.

Not long after Song Jinglin left, two military wives came in.

They all looked to be in their thirties.

But some people at this time look old, and it's hard to say.

Before Liu Qingqing could speak, a woman with a very hearty laugh introduced herself first: "Sister, I live in the courtyard next to you. We will be neighbors in the future. My name is Guo Fengjuan and my husband is Yao Ranpeng. I heard that you moved in today. Is there anything I can help you with? Just let me know, but don't be polite with the sisters-in-law."

Liu Qingqing quickly memorized the name Yao Ranpeng and smiled as she pulled the two of them into the house to sit down: "My name is Liu Qingqing. I'll trouble the sisters-in-law to take care of me in the future. Come in quickly. There's nothing to clean up. You can live in it after a simple cleaning."

Guo Fengjuan glanced to the side: "Hey, sister is a hard-working person. She has already cleaned up in such a short time."

Liu Qingqing waved her hand: "Sister-in-law, please don't praise me, I was lazy and didn't pick it up much. These furniture is still very good, just use it directly. "" Your house used to live in the second regiment. . Her son Song Jinglin is a battalion-level officer, so it's not his turn yet.

But she likes the yard more, as it has much better privacy than the building.

She had just seen that building, with an open-air corridor and a shared toilet, and the conditions were average.

The two chatted for a few words, and Liu Qingqing glanced at the other woman, who had been silent since she entered the house.

At this time, she was staring at her belly...

Guo Fengjuan followed Liu Qingqing's line of sight and quickly nudged the woman with her elbow: "Her name is Qiu Xiaoshuang, Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's wife, and we are from the same regiment. She lives to the west of your house, and the three of us are neighbors, so we came together."

The woman saw that she was mentioned and smiled: "How many months have you been pregnant?"

Liu Qingqing's smile faded a little. This man's behavior was strange, and she didn't want to get in touch with him: "Almost seven months."

Qiu Xiaoshuang nodded and returned to silence.

Guo Fengjuan laughed and changed the subject: "Sisters, you have been busy all day, take a break, and we will talk together tomorrow."

After speaking, she pulled Qiu Xiaoshuang out of the door.

Originally, the men on both sides worked together and had a good relationship. She thought that the rear should also be united and support the men's work.

As a result, Qiu Xiaoshuang became crazy as soon as she entered the house, making them look like bad people.

"Sister-in-law Guo, Sister-in-law Qiu, please come visit us again when you have time." Liu Qingqing politely sent the people away, locked the gate, and let the tech mouse out.

She didn't let it clean too much, just cleaned the area around the bed where the two lived.

As for other places, take your time.

Otherwise, when Song Jinglin comes back at night, wow, the house is shiny.

If you can't do the same results as ten cleaners in the afternoon, isn't that asking for trouble?

Song Jinglin is not a big fool.

Guo Fengjuan walked out of the door, her face immediately fell: "You are so rude again, as if you are looking for trouble with someone."

Qiu Xiaoshuang's eyes seemed to be empty, and it took a long time for her to come back to her senses: "I didn't show my anger, I'm sorry, sister-in-law Guo."

Guo Fengjuan shook her head, and it was not easy to say anything to her.

Since Qiu Xiaoshuang came to follow the army, the two have been getting along well.

She is usually taciturn and never talks about other people's shortcomings.

She just stares blankly when she sees others getting pregnant and having children.

Speaking of which, she is also a pitiful person. I heard that she was pregnant before she followed the army.

It seems that she was tortured by her in-laws, and then it became difficult and she never went to bed again.

As for more details, Xiaoshuang didn't say any more.

She was a tight-lipped person, unwilling to talk about other people's affairs, nor about her own affairs.

This year seemed even weirder than before, and she was a little scared.

"Let's go, go back and rest, I'll call you to work later."

Both of them worked in the textile factory run by the military district.

Qiu Xiaoshuang nodded silently without saying anything more.

Chapter 139 Order

When Song Jinglin got home from get off work in the evening, Liu Qingqing mentioned the two people who came during the day while they were having dinner, and asked him if he knew them.

"I know Mrs. Guo, she is the wife of Political Commissar Yao Ranpeng. I have a good relationship with Lao Yao, and Mrs. Guo seems to be a very straightforward person. As for the wife of Deputy Battalion Commander Wang, I don't know. Wang Lianlu and I are from the same regiment, and our relationship is average."

Song Jinglin is really unfamiliar with the people in the military family area. When the house was allocated, he came here to clean up and just nodded and said hello. Some of them didn't match.

Liu Qingqing nodded. It was normal that she didn't get in touch with these people. She would see for herself.

As for the average relationship, it means that they are not very good.

Song Jinglin hooked her little finger and pinched it gently: "Don't bother with those you don't get along with, it's okay."

Liu Qingqing smiled and rolled her eyes at him, pulling out her finger: "Don't be idle, get up and work."

The houses in the family area are neat and tidy, and they look like they were built in a unified way.

Each family has a small front and back yard, the front yard is about ten square meters, and the back yard is bigger, about thirty or forty square meters. It should have been used as a vegetable garden before, but now it has a few weeds.

Two rows of bricks are arranged along one side of the vegetable field to the north to form a path. The toilet is built at the end of this path, in the corner of the vegetable field.

Although the climate here is slightly hotter than Wuning.

But here is also a yearly season. By the end of August, nothing can be planted, so Liu Qingqing no longer cares about the vegetable field.

Song Jinglin was directed by her to clean up the front and back yards, mainly the toilet.

It gave people a shaky feeling, and she was worried that she would be buried in it when squatting.

According to Liu Qingqing's idea, Song Jinglin pushed the toilet and rebuilt it.

The next day, Yao Ranpeng heard the commotion and came to help.

After Guo Fengjuan cleaned up the dishes, she also brought a three-year-old girl with her. Seeing that there was nothing for her to do, she chatted with Liu Qingqing.

"You just moved in, so I don't want to bother you all the time. I'm afraid you haven't cleaned up yet. Don't take yesterday's incident to heart."

Liu Qingqing smiled and waved her hand: "Sister-in-law, you worry too much. People have different personalities. I don't take it to heart."

Guo Fengjuan sent her little daughter to play, and simply told Liu Qingqing about Qiu Xiaoshuang's situation. She explained it clearly in advance so that people wouldn't have any grudges.

Liu Qingqing nodded slightly and passed it over. No matter what the reason was, it was better to stay away from it.

From Guo Fengjuan, she also learned about the living conditions here. 、、

The military service agency next to the bathhouse in the compound is the supply and marketing cooperative here.

In addition to selling daily necessities and supplementary food, they can also cut hair, make clothes, and take photos.

The services are quite comprehensive.

You can also get food quotas there.

After Liu Qingqing followed the army, her household registration also followed. Tomorrow, I will ask Song Jinglin to buy food for the two of them.

Guo Fengjuan looked at her belly and mentioned the nursery here. Children as young as a few months old and as old as six or seven years old can be sent there.

As for tuition, there is no charge, just pay a little food fee every month.

The people working in the nursery are all family members of the army, and their wages are all paid by the army.

In addition to being able to work in nurseries, the military region also has a textile factory to take care of military families, specifically recruiting them to join the army. Once the children are sent to daycare, the adults can have their hands free to work in the factory to supplement the family income. When they reach the age of elementary school, they have to go to the city to study. Their location is remote and it takes more than two hours to go to the city. Therefore, the children of the army need to board at school and can only come back once a week. Liu Qingqing frowned as she heard this. This condition was really not good. The child had to live in school at a young age, which sounded pitiful. Guo Fengjuan's eldest son is in primary school. When we see him once a week, he wipes his tears every time when he gets on the bus.

Although she felt bad in her heart, there was nothing she could do.

However, the little girl was still in the nursery in the military area. She was sent there every morning and picked up in the evening, which made her feel more at ease.

It was getting dark, and Song Jinglin and Yao Ranpeng stopped their work.

After sending the three people from the Yao family away, the two of them went back to the house to wash up and go to bed.

After staying for a day, she moved her bedtime forward. She had to go to bed earlier. Before she could even open her eyes, the military bugle outside would sound, and she really couldn't stay in bed.

Chapter 140 Military Service Club

The next morning, she woke up when the wake-up call rang, but she still felt sleepy. She sat up reluctantly and said a few words that she couldn't remember, then lay down and fell asleep again.

When she opened her eyes again, the seat next to her was cold, and she didn't know when the person left.

The porridge was warm in the pot, and there were two buns from the canteen on the curtain.

I think Song Jinglin has come back once.

Liu Qingqing got up, served a bowl of porridge, and took a simple bite.

It was almost done.

She let the little mouse out during the day. It not only swept the floor and vacuumed, but also climbed the walls and roofs.

It was so sneaky that it would be scared if someone saw it.

The cleaning power is good, but it is a little conspicuous, not as good as spiders.

After complaining about the white mouse, she took out a stack of letter paper and started writing letters.

There are still many people to contact, write a letter to the family, Fu Meili, Li Jun, Lu Yan, and Zhou Dasao.

It is not convenient to make phone calls at this time, and the relationship between the two sides is maintained by writing letters.

It is just to report safety and talk about what I saw on the road. As for the situation in the military area and the environment of the family compound, nothing is written.

After stacking them separately and affixing stamps, Liu Qingqing took a cloth bag and went out with the letters.

After sending the letters, go to the service center to buy some "needed" things at home.

Enter the door of the service center.

Opposite is the store, which is divided into two spaces. The counter on the left is for daily necessities such as cloth, mats, stationery, soap, ointment, needles and thread, and further inside are some books.

On the right are biscuits, dried fruits, salt, sugar, soy sauce, canned candies, and other foods. At the end, there are some side dishes, some seasonal vegetables, eggs, and a meat stall, but there is no meat for sale at this time.

Liu Qingqing took out the bottle and made some soy sauce.

The waiter who made soy sauce greeted with a smile: "Girl, have you just arrived at the army? I haven't seen you before."

Because of the complete living facilities, many things can be done in the military compound, so the people here are very familiar with each other, even if they can't call each other's names, they can get to know each other.

Liu Qingqing took the bottle of soy sauce and was not in a hurry to leave. She stood by the counter and chatted with her: "Well, the ones who came to follow the army these two days, sister-in-law has a good eye."

Those who can work in the service center must be military dependents.

"It's nothing. You are so beautiful. If I had seen you before, I would definitely remember you." The waiter thought to himself that those who can come to follow the army are either men who are 35 years old or have served in the army for 15 years.

This pregnant woman looks only in her early twenties. Even if the man is older, he can't be ten or twenty years older.

That means the lover is of a high level, at the battalion level.

Although this position is not uncommon in the military compound, the advantage is that you are young, and the height in the future will be different.

Liu Qingqing covered her mouth and smiled: "Sister-in-law, please don't compliment me. I think you are pretty. My name is Liu Qingqing, and my husband is Song Jinglin, the battalion commander of the first regiment. I wonder what your name is?"

"My name is Lu Guiying, and my husband is the political commissar of the second regiment."

Liu Qingqing called "Sister-in-law Guiying" affectionately.

Lu Guiying also wanted to make friends. Judging from her clothes, her clothes were still fitted and without patches even though she was pregnant, which proved that her family conditions were also good.

Maybe she would want to take a photo of her child as a souvenir after giving birth.

"Sister, there is a barbershop and photographer to the south of our store. You can go there anytime for a haircut, but you can only take photos on the eleventh of every month. The photographer works in the city and only comes one day a month."

Liu Qingqing nodded, and remembered her camera, which she had not taken out and used yet.

After chatting for a while, I learned a lot about the service center from her.

For example, if you want to buy meat for a treat, you can say hello at the meat stall in advance.

Another example is that sometimes there are sausages, fish and shrimps here, which are relatively rare, and you have to know the news in advance to buy them.

In addition to the service station, Liu Qingqing also inquired about the medical conditions here. The military hospital is not far from here. It mainly provides medical services for soldiers and their families in the military area, and also provides medical services and medicines to the people in the surrounding villages. What surprised Liu Qingqing the most was that during the busy farming season, the hospital would organize people to help nearby villages plant rice and harvest rice...

This is really hard to imagine, a scalpel in front and a sickle in the back?

I really admire some of the leaders at this time. Serving the people is not just talk.
