Chapter 115 Small World!
Chapter 115 Small World!
Lou Xiao'e sat on the back of Jia Dongming's bicycle. Thinking of the rumors about Jia Dongming in the courtyard, she finally couldn't help but break the silence and asked Jia Dongming: "Chief Jia! I heard that you were separated from your parents when you were very young. Is this true?"
Jia Dongming, who was riding his bicycle, heard Lou Xiao'e suddenly ask him about the time he got separated from Lao Jia. He answered, "It is true. My father and I went to Tianqiao Market to buy food. On the way home, we ran into Xiao Rizi shooting and killing people on the street!"
"Captain Jia! After your memory was restored, have you ever thought about finding your parents?" Lou Xiao'e listened carefully to the whole process of Jia Dongming getting separated from his parents, and asked Jia Dongming with curiosity.
Jia Dongming heard the question raised by Lou Xiaoe and did not intend to deliberately conceal the truth. He smiled and replied: "I was knocked unconscious by a shell during the battle. Only then did I recover a little memory, but I only remembered the names of my parents."
"When I was demobilized and returned to the local area, I originally thought that I would find a way to find out about my parents after I settled down. But I never expected that I would unexpectedly reunite with my mother on the first day I moved into our courtyard. The only regret I had was that I didn't get to meet my father and brother."
Lou Xiao'e, who was sitting on the back of the bicycle, couldn't help but say after hearing what Jia Dongming said: "Chief Jia! Maybe this is fate!"
Jia Dongming sent Lou Xiao'e to the door of the villa downstairs. After saying goodbye to Lou Xiao'e, he rode his bicycle towards Tongluoguxiang.
Lou Xiao'e watched Jia Dongming disappear into the night, reached out and knocked on the door of the villa, and shouted inside: "Mom! I'm back, open the door quickly."
The villa was originally pitch black, but because of Lou Xiao'e's shouting, a light suddenly came on in a window on the second floor. Not long after, Lou Tan, who was wearing a coat, opened the door of the villa and saw Lou Xiao'e standing outside. She asked Lou Xiao'e with a puzzled look on her face: "Xiao'e! Why did you come back so late? Did you quarrel with Xu Damao again?"
When Lou Xiao'e heard Lou Tan mention Xu Damao, the smile on her face froze instantly, and she answered, "Mom! Xu Damao called me an old hen that can't lay eggs, and I was so angry that I quarreled with him, so I rushed back overnight."
When Mrs. Lou Tan learned that her daughter and son-in-law had quarreled, she was not surprised at all, because this was not the first time such a thing had happened in the past year.
Lou Tan was sure of her guess. Thinking that it was already past eight o'clock in the evening, Lou Tan complained to Lou Xiao'e with dissatisfaction: "Xiao'e! It's so late, how dare you come back alone? Can't you wait until tomorrow morning to come back?"
When Lou Xiao'e was arguing with Xu Damao, she was so angry that she didn't check the time and ran out of the house. After running out of the courtyard, she looked at the black box in front of her and regretted it immediately.
Because Lou Xiao'e was a woman who cared about her reputation, even though she was full of fear of the night, for the sake of her own face, Lou Xiao'e forced herself to overcome her inner fear and rushed towards her parents' home with the help of the lights on the roadside.
Perhaps because they were walking too hurriedly, or perhaps because Jia Dongming was distracted while riding his bike, the two of them bumped into each other at a fork in the road.
Facing Lou Tan's complaint, Lou Xiao'e didn't think much about it and answered, "Mom! I didn't come back alone. A neighbor from Xu Damao's courtyard rode a bicycle to take me back."
When Lou Tan heard Lou Xiao'e mention the neighbor, she couldn't help but frowned and asked Lou Xiao'e in a very serious tone: "Is that neighbor a man or a woman?"
Lou Xiao'e, who was carefree, didn't realize that there was something wrong with Lou Tan's tone when she heard his question. She answered, "It's a man! He's the head of the security department of the steel mill. He just moved to our yard and it hasn't been more than a week."
When Lou Tan heard what Lou Xiao'e had said, her face suddenly darkened. She warned Lou Xiao'e in a very dissatisfied tone, "Lou Xiao'e! I have to remind you that you are a married woman. You must not do anything to let Xu Damao down." After hearing Lou Tan's reminder, Lou Xiao'e realized that her mother had misunderstood her relationship with Jia Dongming. She replied angrily, "Mom! I just happened to meet Jia Dongming on my way back from the steel mill. He learned that I was going back to my parents' home overnight and thought it was unsafe for a woman like me to go back so late, so he kindly rode his bike to send me back. What are you thinking about?"
After hearing Lou Xiao'e's complaint, Lou Tan finally felt relieved, but she still warned Lou Xiao'e, "It's best if nothing happens! Lou Xiao'e, I warn you, you have a man, so you must not do anything that will damage the reputation of our Lou family."
When Lou Xiao'e heard Lou Tan's warning and thought about everything that happened when Jia Dongming sent her back tonight, she replied unhappily, "Mom! I'm going back to my room to sleep. I won't say any more to you."
"Ding!"
"The daily sign-in system has been turned on. Would the host like to sign in?" At exactly seven o'clock the next morning, when Jia Dongming was still sleeping soundly, a system prompt suddenly came into his mind.
The system's notification sounded like an alarm clock, waking Jia Dongming from his deep sleep. Jia Dongming opened his eyes and immediately communicated with the system with his consciousness: "System! Sign in."
"Ding!"
"Signed in successfully. Congratulations to the host for receiving a portable small world, 10 kilograms of various grain seeds, 10 kilograms of various vegetable seeds, 10 kilograms of various fruit seeds, and 10 yuan in cash. May I ask if the host has planted the crop seeds signed in by the system in the small world?"
Through the information transmitted by the system, Jia Dongming learned that this small world has the functions of one-click planting, one-click harvesting, and one-click processing. It has an area of about 50 acres. The ratio of time in the small world to that in the outside world is ten to one.
After receiving the information transmitted by the system, Jia Dongming thought that he would be able to achieve food freedom, vegetable freedom, and fruit freedom from today, so he immediately instructed the system with his mind: "System! Plant all kinds of food seeds, vegetable seeds, and fruit seeds."
After all the seeds were planted, Jia Dongming received information from the system. According to the time in the small world and the time in the outside world, it is estimated that it will take one month for the grains to mature, fifteen days for the vegetables, and three months for the fruits to enter the fruit-bearing stage.
Thinking that he would be able to have freedom in food, vegetables and fruits in a short while, Jia Dongming felt extremely happy. He picked up the clothes placed in front of the bed and started humming a song while putting on his clothes.
At around 8 o'clock in the morning, in a consulting room of Union Hospital, after reading Lou Xiao'e's medical report, the doctor said to her seriously, "Comrade Lou Xiao'e! Based on your medical report, I suggest that you ask your husband to come to the hospital for a checkup."
When Lou Xiao'e heard the doctor's words, she immediately remembered what Jia Dongming had told her last night. She asked the doctor nervously and excitedly, "Doctor! From what you said, is there anything wrong with my body? My husband and I have been married for two years, but we have never been able to conceive. Is it possible that it is because of my husband?"
When the doctor heard Lou Xiao'e's question and saw her nervous expression, he did not answer her question directly. Instead, he said seriously, "Comrade Lou Xiao'e! According to your examination results, there is indeed nothing wrong with your body, and you have a physique that is easy to get pregnant. If you want to have a child, I suggest that you ask your husband to come to our hospital for a check-up."
When Lou Xiao'e learned that she could have children, tears immediately burst out of her eyes like a flood. She murmured excitedly, "It turns out that I can really have children. I'm not the hen that can't lay eggs! The one who can't have children is that bastard Xu Damao!"
