Reborn in 70s to marry a big man, Jiaojiao has one child after another

As a single man, he had nothing to pack except a set of bedding and a change of clothes.

The clothes I had just changed out the day before were still hanging outside. I just rolled up my bed and packed my luggage.

The captain pulled off the clothes hanging outside, motioned for Yao'er to follow him, and told Xu Ningyan: "You clean up first, and I'll ask Tie Zhu to call you after dinner!"

After saying that, he took the people and walked home.

After the people walked away, Xu Ningyan turned around and opened the door to the room where she lived.

No one has lived there for a long time, so the smell in the house is not very good.

Xu Ningyan opened the doors and windows to let some air out. He also took out the bedding in the cupboard to let some air out. He would definitely not put this on when sleeping at night, so he would just get another clean set from the space.

The room was cleaned, a pot of water was boiled, and the tables, chairs, and beds were scrubbed.

There were signs of use in the kitchen and it was not very clean.

There was plenty of firewood, some of which I had left unused, and some of which were newly cut and piled up at the back.

The dishes and chopsticks had all been used, so Xu Ningyan had no intention of cleaning up. Anyway, she would only be staying for a day or two at most, and there was food in the space, so just making do with it was enough.

She didn't go into Jiang Zhiyuan's room before.

There were only two simple pieces of furniture inside, and the other things related to Jiang Zhiyuan had long been taken away.

People from the military region also searched carefully, and it was impossible to find anything left.

The stove in her house was still there. She dragged it over and rearranged it. She installed the chimney, lit firewood and put it in to try it out. It still worked.

The room quickly warmed up, and the coldness that had been unoccupied for a long time was replaced by warmth.

Xu Ningyan took inventory of the things in the house, thinking about what to give away, what to take away, and what to leave with the captain's family.

Then I heard a gentle knock on the courtyard door outside, and a low voice: "Is Comrade Xu here?"

It's the guy over there in the bullpen.

When Xu Ningyan came out of the house, she saw two figures standing outside the courtyard door. The weather was so cold. They were wearing clothes and worn-out cotton-padded jackets, and their faces were so cold that they turned blue.

It was the little baby Xu Ningyan had met before and the grandfather and grandson of the professor from the Agricultural University.

At their feet lay a basket and a patched bag.

Seeing Xu Ningyan coming out, Professor Gu didn't dare to approach, and only whispered: "Comrade Xu, these are the sweet potatoes and corns from the private property. We will keep your part specially. When we see you come back, we will send you some first." , I’ll send you the rest early tomorrow morning.”

Xu Ningyan looked down and saw that there were sweet potatoes in the basket. They must have been taken out from the cellar. They looked quite plump.

Needless to say, the patched pocket contained corn kernels.

After the grandfather and grandson finished speaking, they didn't dare to stay and turned around to leave.

Xu Ningyan stopped me: "Please help me move these things into the house!"

He said making way.

Professor Gu hesitated a little, looked around and saw that no one was there, gritted his teeth, picked up his bag and basket, and walked inside.

His little grandson followed behind and stretched out his hand to help lift the bottom of the basket, trying to make his grandfather relax.

Entering Xu Ningyan's house, the two of them were startled by the warmth inside. This house was much warmer than their cowshed, and even warmer than the bed at night.

But they didn't dare to look any further, so they put down their things and left.

Xu Ningyan had already made a bowl of brown sugar water by herself, and stuffed a white rabbit into Professor Gu's little grandson: "Drink the sugar water before leaving."

Professor Gu felt a little embarrassed. They had been devolved for so long and had become used to seeing many people who didn't want to see them and didn't look at them seriously.

Suddenly someone treats them better and treats them normally, but they don't know how to accept it.

He looked down at his little grandson. Although he stared at the white rabbit toffee eagerly and swallowed his saliva, he did not dare to reach out to pick it up, but looked at himself.

He couldn't help but feel sour in his heart. The White Rabbit toffee was just a common thing for his family before, but now it is an unattainable luxury.

I originally wanted to refuse, but I finally swallowed it, nodded, and motioned to my grandson to take it: "Thank you, Comrade Xu!"

Now that I have accepted the white rabbit milk candy, it would be a bit pretentious to refuse the brown sugar water.

And on such a cold day, how comfortable it would be to drink a bowl of steaming brown sugar water.

Thinking like this, Professor Gu simply gave up. Although he didn't know what Xu Ningyan was doing by being so nice to them, he was a lonely old man with only such a lone seedling beside him. He had no money, no power and no influence. He really had nothing to gain. of.

The days of devolution were too hard. Not only was it hard, but there was no hope, and he was already in despair.

Now drink a bowl of brown sugar water. Even if you can't survive this winter, you will at least taste a little sweetness before you die.

Holding the brown sugar water, Professor Gu said calmly: "Comrade Xu, now I am a bad old man with no power and no money. I don't know how long I can live. If we drink this bowl of brown sugar water, we have nothing to give in return." your!"

Xu Ningyan waved her hand: "It's just a bowl of brown sugar water. I just want to thank you for helping me move my things in. Don't worry about it."

After thinking about it, I mainly saw the grandson of Professor Gu. I heard that he was seven or eight years old, but he looked like he was no more than five or six years old. His body was thin and shriveled, and his head looked particularly big. I don’t know who the cotton-padded jacket he was wearing was. For adults, they were wrapped randomly, and their feet were still cloth shoes, with several holes in the front, exposing toes that were blue from the cold.

The hand holding the bowl of brown sugar water was red, swollen, and chapped. The index finger and little finger both had frostbite, and they were ulcerated and leaking pus.

As if aware of Xu Ningyan's eyes, Professor Gu's grandson put down the bowl of brown sugar water uncomfortably and shrank his hand behind his back.

Xu Ningyan said calmly: "What is there to hide? I also had chilblains on my hands when I was a child! Later, I used a few home remedies and kept using them for a few years, but they disappeared. It didn't cost you any money, and your chilblains were broken. , go back and boil an egg, take out the yolk, put it in a spoon, slowly bake it over a slow fire until it becomes buttery, rub it several times a day, and it's ready. Slice the white radish on the unbroken skin, and bake it until it's hot. Cover the area with frostbite and bake it by the fire. The redness and swelling will subside in a few days."

Professor Gu also felt sorry for his grandson's frostbite, but he knew these folk remedies and felt extremely guilty because he had no money to buy the ointment.

At this moment, I heard what Xu Ningyan said and hurriedly wrote it down.

However, I turned around and became a little discouraged. The people in their cowshed had difficulty even having enough to eat. Where could they get eggs? Even if there are eggs, the most important thing is to eat them in the stomach to replenish the body. If there is any extra, they can be used to bake egg butter.

He sighed, touched his little grandson's head, and said warmly: "Drink the brown sugar water quickly, so we can go back! We don't want to disturb Comrade Xu."
