the other side.
Qin Huairu, holding Xiaodang in her arms and carrying a lot of bags in her hands, got on the bus to Qinjia Village.
After an hour or so, the bus slowly stopped.
Qin Huairu got off the car with her things. Looking at the familiar place in front of her, her eyes couldn't help but become moist.
"I haven't been home for several years. I don't know how my family is doing."
Qin Huairu wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and went home with her things.
At this time, there were not many people in the village, and most people were busy in the fields.
After a while, Qin Huairu arrived home carrying her things.
"Squeak——" Qin Huairu pushed the door open and went in.
"I'm back!"
Looking around the house, Qin Huairu saw no one at home and felt a little disappointed.
Suddenly I thought of something and patted my head:
"Oh! How could I forget? Everyone is out in the fields doing farm work at this hour!"
Qin Huairu went out and put the things in the living room.
"Ah wu——"
Xiaodang in his arms suddenly woke up and burst into tears.
"Xiaodang, don't cry, don't cry~~~" Qin Huairu immediately untied the rope that was tightly tied around Xiaodang and coaxed him gently.
"Ah~~~" Xiaodang opened his cute little mouth and waved his chubby little hands, as if pointing at his mouth.
"Ah, Xiaodang, you're hungry, right? Mommy will feed you right away!" Qin Huairu held Xiaodang and went into the bedroom where she used to live.
After taking off her clothes, she started feeding Xiaodang.
In an instant, Xiaodang stopped crying, and his mouth twitched from time to time as he sucked milk.
Qin Huairu couldn't help but smile when she saw the quiet Xiaodang.
Finally I had some free time and looked around the bedroom. It was almost the same as when I left.
At the same time, outside the door.
A girl was walking towards home when she suddenly heard crying.
"Where is the crying sound of a child coming from? It's strange. Neighbors around here don't have any children making any noises. Where is this sound coming from?"
The girl was curious, so she followed the sound and came to her door.
"It's strange, why is there a child crying at home?" The girl scratched her head.
Suddenly, he clapped his hands: "Oh no! Could it be that there is a thief in the house?"
"You little thief, you actually ran into my house, wait and see how I'm going to deal with you!"
The girl looked around and suddenly found the hatchet placed outside.
Looking at the house, he picked up the hatchet quietly.
The girl did not rush in, but walked around outside the house and heard the crying sound coming from her own bedroom.
The girl flew into a rage and gripped the hatchet even tighter: "You little thief, you actually ran into my room, let me show you how I'm going to teach you a lesson!"
He walked quietly to the door and pushed it open little by little.
“Gah—”
"Damn it! Why did the door break at this time when it could have broken at any other time? What the hell!"
Since she had caused such a commotion, the girl stopped pretending.
"Bang!" He kicked the door hard and raised the hatchet high.
"Thief, die!"
As soon as I entered the room, I saw a woman sorting things and looked up.
The two looked at each other and froze in place, stunned.
"Sister, what are you doing?" Qin Huairu pointed at the hatchet.
"Sister, why are you back? Why didn't you tell me?" Qin Huaihe cried out in surprise. (My name is set)
He threw the hatchet casually on the ground and rushed towards Qin Huairu.
"sister!"
"younger sister!"
The two hugged each other and couldn't separate for a long time.
Holding her family in her arms, Qin Huairu felt relieved all of a sudden.
After a while, the two separated, and Qin Huaihe suddenly thought of something.
"By the way, sister, did you hear any crying just now? Our house was robbed!"
"Crying?" Qin Huairu looked puzzled.
"Yes, just cry, and you're still a child!"
"That should be my daughter. She was hungry and cried for a while!"
As she spoke, Qin Huairu took Qin Huaihe to the bedroom and looked at Xiaodang who had just fallen asleep.
"Sister, this is your daughter! She's so cute! So pink!"
Qin Huaihe looked at Xiaodang, who was sleeping soundly with her lips pouting, and carefully touched her chubby little face.
"Sister, what's her name? How old is she?"
"Her name is Jia Dang, and her nickname is Xiao Dang."
"Xiaodang, Xiaodang, what does this name mean?" Qin Huaihe looked at Qin Huairu in confusion.
Qin Huairu just smiled and said nothing.
She couldn't say that Jia Dongxu just picked this name randomly and it had no meaning at all.
Seeing this, Qin Huaihe didn't ask any more questions. After all, girls had a very low status.
Qin Huairu and Qin Huaihe, these two nice names, were not chosen by Qin's father, but were chosen with the help of a village teacher.
If Qin's father were to choose a name, he would probably choose something like Shufen.
Qin Huairu didn't dwell on the name and quickly changed the subject:
"By the way, where are our parents? Aren't they back yet?"
"My parents are still working in the fields, but they will be back soon. There is nothing much to do in the fields. Calculating the time, it is almost time now."
Hearing this, Qin Huairu nodded and pointed at the things she brought.
"By the way, I brought some things back. Let's go see if there's anything you like?"
"Sister is so nice. She remembers to bring me something when she comes back!" Qin Huaihe giggled, hugged Qin Huairu, and ran out.
Most of the things Qin Huairu wore were made of scraps of cloth.
These scraps of cloth vary in size, with the small ones being several feet long and the large ones being several feet long.
There are also small pieces of cloth such as towels, handkerchiefs, etc.
Qin Huairu got up early in the morning to queue up at the supply and marketing cooperative to buy these, mainly because no tickets were required.
Scraps of fabric can be used to make shoes, and pieced together to make underwear.
Large towels can be put together to form a "towel blanket", which is considered a "luxury" enjoyment.
Qin Huairu didn't tell the people in the yard. After all, the cloth that didn't require a ticket was very rare and hard to get. If she told everyone about it, it would be even harder to get it.
These were all snatched by Qin Huairu with great difficulty.
"Wow! The pattern is so beautiful. With these fabrics, I can also have a piece of clothing!" Qin Huaihe was delighted holding the fabrics.
What she is wearing now is basically what Qin Huairu discarded, and the clothes are covered with patches.
"And this purple one, it looks great too!" Qin Huaihe was overwhelmed as she picked out different fabrics.
Although the cloth is not large, it can be made into a very nice piece of clothing by patching it together.
At the same time, a few more people came in from outside the door, holding farm tools in their hands.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Qin Huaihe choosing fabrics.
"Mom and Dad!" The people who came were Qin's father and mother.
"Huai Ru, why are you back?"
Qin's mother was extremely surprised and hurried to Qin Huairu, holding her face and looking at her carefully.
He looked at Qin Huairu's body carefully again and said, "Child, you have lost a lot of weight!"
Hearing this, Qin Huairu couldn't help but have tears in her eyes.
Father Qin's expression did not change, as if he was not excited at all, but if you noticed his slightly trembling hands.
"I'm glad you're back!" Qin's father said lightly.
"By the way, Huairu, why are you back? Did you get treated unfairly in the city? Tell mom and I'll take care of it for you!"
Qin Huairu shook her head: "Mom, I didn't suffer any injustice in the city, not at all!"
"I haven't been back for several years. I came back to visit when I missed home. By the way, I brought my granddaughter to you!"
"Granddaughter? When did it happen?" Mother Qin was surprised. She didn't know her daughter was pregnant yet. Qin Huairu explained: "It won't be long. The baby will be a month old soon. I'll bring her to you to see!"
After saying that, he went into the bedroom and carried Xiaodang out.
"Mom, her name is Xiaodang!"
"Xiaodang, call grandma!"
Mother Qin looked at the chubby little Xiaodang who was sleeping soundly, her eyes revealing doting.
Although Qin's father didn't care, he turned his head and took a look out of curiosity.
"Xiaodang, Xiaodang!" Qin's mother called softly a few times.
"Ah~" The little girl in her sleep cried out subconsciously a few times.
"Dad, look, little Dangchao is waving at me!" Mother Qin quickly reported to Father Qin, her tone full of joy.
"I just waved, there's nothing to say, it's not a fuss!" Qin's father said calmly.
However, he glanced over "inadvertently", showing that he cared a lot.
Qin Huairu was very happy to see how much her parents loved Xiaodang.
She was afraid that her parents didn't like girls.
But what Qin Huairu didn't know was that Qin's father and mother just didn't like girls, but this was their daughter's child, so they loved her as well.
"By the way, Mom and Dad, where are my brother and sister-in-law? Why don't I see them?" Qin Huaihe asked, "I wanted to introduce Xiaodang to them."
Hearing this, Qin's father and mother glanced at Qin Huairu casually and saw that she showed no strange expression.
"Your brother still has to go to the blast furnace and won't be back soon. Your sister-in-law should be back soon."
"Mom and Dad, why are you looking for me?" At this time, a voice came from outside the door.
A woman walked in. She was even more sturdy than Qin Huairu, obviously from working in the fields.
She had yellow-white skin, but compared to Qin Huairu, her skin was yellow-black, and she was not as pretty as Qin Huairu.
No matter from which aspect you look at her, she is not as pretty as Qin Huairu.
"Fengjuan, you're back. Your sister-in-law is looking for you!"
The person who came was my sister-in-law, Lu Fengjuan.
Most people in Qinjia Village have the surname Qin, but there are also a few outsiders, and Lu Fengjuan is one of them.
Not long after Qin Huairu married Jia Dongxu, Lu Fengjuan also married his brother.
"Grandpa. Grandma!" the two children held by Lu Fengjuan's hands called out softly.
"Hey, come here quickly, grandpa will hug you!" Father Qin immediately smiled.
The two boys ran towards Qin's father and mother.
Qin's father picked up the older boy, and his mother first gave Xiaodang to Qin Huaihe, freeing her hands to pick up the younger one.
"Grandpa, grandma!" the two children were held and shouted again.
Both Qin's father and mother showed a smile that came from the bottom of their hearts, and the corners of their mouths were even more raised than when they were holding Xiaodang.
Qin Huairu also noticed that it was not necessary, but she didn't say anything.
"Oh! Isn't this my sister-in-law? Why are you back?" Lu Fengjuan said indifferently, without a trace of surprise.
Qin Huairu explained: "It's not that I miss home, I just came back to see my parents."
Lu Fengjuan glanced at Qin Huairu: "Oh, really? I don't know if you really miss home or if you want to take something away."
"A daughter who is married off is like spilled water. Once she is out, don't even think about coming back."
"Those who know him think he is homesick, and those who don't think he is out to be a robber!"
Hearing this, the room fell silent for a moment, and Qin's father and mother did not tease the child.
Since Qin Huairu married Jia Dongxu, she has come back two or three times. Originally, they were very happy that Qin Huairu came home.
But every time Qin Huairu came back, she didn't take anything with her, and only took some food and meat with her when she left.
The family was not well-off to begin with, and Qin Huairu took some things away, which made Lu Fengjuan, who married into the family, even more unhappy with Qin Huairu.
Not only did Qin Huairu not help her family, she also took away some things, making life even more difficult for the Qin family.
At this time, Qin Huaihe stood up, pointed at the fabrics, and defended Qin Huairu.
"Sister-in-law, how can you say that about my sister? My sister brought back a lot of fabrics this time! Look!"
Lu Fengjuan followed her finger and saw a pile of cloth on the ground. Although they were all scraps of cloth, there were still quite a lot of them.
By mending the stitches together, you can also make a few pieces of clothes for the two children.
He immediately put on a smiling face: "Hey, Huairu, you are really something. You didn't even tell me you were coming back so that I could ask your brother to pick you up!"
"You're greedy for money! You're a snob!" Qin Huaihe looked at her sideways and muttered softly.
Lu Fengjuan also noticed Qin Huaihe's expression, but she didn't care.
"Ah, you're tired after coming back! Are you thirsty? I'll go get you a glass of water!"
After saying that, he poured her a glass of water without caring whether Qin Huairu cared or not.
Seeing this, Qin's father and mother felt relieved.
For them, the most feared thing in a family is disharmony.
Qin Huairu looked at Lu Fengjuan who was busy pouring water for her, like a pug, and felt a sense of refreshment in her heart for some reason.
In the Jia family, she was the one who was busy taking care of others. She didn't expect that when she returned home, there would be people taking care of her, even if it was just a small thing like pouring water.
But for Qin Huairu, this feeling is precious!
"Sister-in-law, the water is coming!"
"Hmm!" Qin Huairu responded lightly, then took the water and drank it.
Lu Fengjuan looked at Xiaodang in Qin Huaihe's arms and said, "This must be my sister-in-law's child. How cute!"
"Look at this little pink face, much prettier than my child, worthy of being a city kid."
Qin Huairu raised her head slightly: "Of course, I gave birth to this child in the hospital. The doctors and nurses were busy running around, so it couldn't be that bad."
"Wow, sister, you really gave birth in a hospital. How was the hospital? I heard that the hospital is big and bright!" Qin Huaihe asked hurriedly.
But when Lu Fengjuan heard this, she felt uncomfortable.
She gave birth at home, while Qin Huairu was in the hospital.
"That's right, the hospital is big and bright, sister, when you have time, go to the city and I'll take you around!"
"Okay, okay!" Qin Huai He shouted happily.
If I wasn't holding Xiaodang in my arms, I would have been dancing with joy.
Different from the intrigues of the adults, the two children looked at the sleeping Xiaodang and liked him very much.
"Grandpa, I want to see!"
"Grandma, I want to see it too!"
The two children spoke at the same time, pointing at Xiaodang.
Seeing this, Qin's father and mother hurriedly hugged them and approached Xiaodang.
The two children stared at the chubby little Xiaodang with their big round eyes.
The older child exclaimed in amazement, "She smells so good! Grandpa, she smells so good!"
The child also chimed in: "What a nice smell! What a nice smell!"
Qin Huaihe explained: "Of course it smells good. Xiaodang is a girl and she was just breastfed. She smells like milk. How can she not smell good?"
Hearing this, the two children turned to look at their mother, Lu Fengjuan.
"Mom, I want a sister who smells this good!"
"I want a sweet sister!"
But when Lu Fengjuan heard that it was a girl, she was overjoyed.
She thought Qin Huairu was holding a boy, but it turned out to be a girl.
"Be good! If you behave, I will give you another brother!"
Hearing this, the two children protested.
"I don't want a brother! I want a sister!"
"I want a sister!"
"Be obedient and want a brother, not a sister!" Lu Fengjuan pretended to be angry and threatened: "If you make any more noise, I will beat you."
The two children were silent immediately. Although they were young, they were afraid of being beaten.
How could Qin Huairu not understand what Lu Fengjuan said? Wasn't it because she disliked the fact that she gave birth to a girl?
At this time, Qin's father stood up and changed the subject:
"Alright, alright, now that you're back, stay for a few days. Don't leave in a hurry!"
Mother Qin also agreed: "Yes, Huairu rarely comes here, so it's just right for her to stay a few more days. It's almost noon now, let's go to the cafeteria quickly."
"Huai Ru, you don't know that we now have a big pot of food and eat in the public canteen. The food there is delicious, with both meat and vegetables."
Qin Huairu didn't want to talk too much about Xiaodang being a girl, so she pretended to be surprised: "Really? Then I'd like to taste it!"
The group headed towards the public cafeteria.
