Chapter 23 That Era 17
When they were halfway there, Uncle Wang was afraid that they would be tired from sitting, so he stopped the oxcart specially.
He nimbly got into a bush and soon picked a few bunches of purple-black wild fruits for them to eat. They tasted very good, sweet and sour.
But she didn't dare to give it to Maomao. The child had a weak stomach and was afraid of spoiling his stomach. Lin Qian stuffed a fruit candy into his mouth and gave a few more candies to Uncle Wang.
It was almost winter at this time, and it got dark early. It was already past seven o'clock in the evening when we arrived at the entrance of the village.
Uncle Wang said there was only one road into the village and he could walk with his eyes closed, but Gao Xiaoan still took out the flashlight and used it to shine on the road ahead.
There was no one on the village road. After Uncle Wang drove an ox cart into the village, he pointed to a tall bungalow and said: "That is the warehouse of our village. There is an open space in front of it for drying grain. The house next to it is where the brigade sometimes A place for meetings.”
Lin Qian couldn't help but glance over there. It was so dark that she could only see a rough outline. It was indeed a little higher than the other houses. "Uncle, are we going to find the village chief now?"
Uncle Wang got off the bullock cart, led the bull's head around a corner, and replied: "Why are you looking for him? Let's go to my house for dinner first. My baby's stomach is very hungry."
The bullock cart finally stopped in front of a yard. After the people in the house heard the noise outside, a middle-aged man came out of the house on the left, holding a candle in his hand.
The middle-aged man was followed by two people. One seemed to be his wife and the other was his child. However, the boy looked much younger than Lin Qian, about seven or eight years old. Could it be that he was born late in life?
The middle-aged man walked over quickly and said, "Dad, you are back. Mom has been nagging you for a long time, so I just asked someone from the village to pick you up on the road."
The little boy chased after him: "Grandpa, you are back!"
"My dear grandson, come and eat some candy!" Uncle Wang took out a fruit candy from his pocket, stuffed it into the little boy's mouth and asked, "Is it delicious?"
"Sweet!" the boy replied loudly, then leaned next to Uncle Wang and secretly looked at Lin Qian and the three of them.
Uncle Wang then turned to talk to the middle-aged man, "Your mother is just timid. I have been walking for so many years, what can happen to her?"
"Daniu, go and take down the luggage of the educated youth and put it in your little sister's house. The oxcart will be sent back to the cowshed. When you come back, you will call your cousin to the house and say that the educated youth comrade has been taken back. Our family is having dinner.”
Uncle Wang thought for a moment and then added, "Get a bundle of firewood at home and deliver it to the people in the cowshed."
"Okay, dad, I'll go right away." Daniel smiled honestly at Lin Qian and the others, picked up two boxes and walked to the room on the right.
"It's so troublesome!" Lin Qian wanted to refuse, but they didn't bring a quilt, so they might as well listen to Uncle Wang's arrangements now.
"Comrade educated youth, come and sit at home! It just so happened that my youngest daughter got married to the next village at the beginning of the month. Her house was originally intended for my three grandchildren to live in."
"But the older two couldn't wait to go hunting in the mountains. The younger grandson is left at home. After dinner tonight, he will stay in my daughter's house for a few days. We will go over to clean up the house tomorrow."
After Uncle Wang finished speaking, he looked at the woman who was also carrying luggage, "Dani, go prepare some dishes for the educated youth comrades, make the dried rabbit at home, steam the salted fish, and add some noodles. Three eggs.”
"Okay, I'll go cook now." The woman named Dani hurried to the kitchen.
"Uncle Wang, there is no need to trouble this lesbian, you are too polite!" Gao Xiaoan wanted to pull the woman but failed.
Uncle Wang waved his hand and said, "It's okay. That's my eldest daughter-in-law. She's good at cooking. When friends come to our Black Ridge Village, the family will definitely prepare good food for them!"
Lin Qian said hurriedly: "Uncle Wang, my mother and I can't eat much at night. We will go to bed soon. Traditional Chinese medicine says that eating too much at night is bad for your health. Mom, right?"
"Yes!" Gao Xiao'an said firmly.
"We are like iron rice and steel. If we don't eat even one meal, we will feel hungry. Girls, please don't be polite to us. Look at you, you are thin. Eat more, and you will grow strong and look good!"
"In this case, Uncle Wang, let's just have one bowl of noodle soup and eat the rest tomorrow! If you make more than you can finish tonight, it won't be fresh until tomorrow."
Uncle Wang looked at Lin Qian and Gao Xiaoan and felt that they were not being polite, "Zhong, I'll listen to you."
He turned around and walked to the kitchen door and said loudly, "Dani, just order a bowl of noodles for Comrade Educated Youth and me, and add eggs for the three of them."
After all the luggage was put down, Da Niu unloaded the cart and put it in the yard. Then he took a bundle of firewood and led the cow to the cowshed to return the cow.
"Sit down quickly and drink some water!" Uncle Wang took three slightly chipped porcelain bowls and poured a bowl of water for the three of them.
At this time, there was some movement in the back room nearby. Uncle Wang opened the thick curtain and said to Lin Qian and the others: "I'm sorry, your aunt's legs hurt so much when it's cold, so she can only lie down in bed."
Gao Xiao'an seemed to have just come to her senses, and some doubts disappeared in her heart. She walked outside the door curtain and asked, "Uncle, how about I show it to auntie first?"
"Hit!" The wrinkles on Uncle Wang's face relaxed.
The temperature inside the house was higher than outside. After Lin Qian and the others came in, they got to know the old woman who was half lying and half sitting on the kang. Lin Qian called her Grandma Wang.
Grandma Wang already has more silver hair than black hair, but her hair is neatly combed and she is in good spirits.
According to Uncle Wang, Grandma Wang was a good hand at farm work when she was young. Later, when the county built a reservoir, Grandma Wang also participated.
Winter came very early that year. Seeing that the reservoir was about to be repaired and ready for use in the spring, the people building the reservoir jumped into the river regardless of the cold and biting water.
The root of the problem in Grandma Wang's right ankle was at that time, especially as she got older. As soon as the temperature dropped, she was in so much pain that she couldn't walk. It was only slightly better when she lay on the warm kang.
"Comrade educated youth? How are my wife's feet?" Uncle Wang asked anxiously after watching Gao Xiao'an take his pulse and check his feet.
Grandma Wang patted Uncle Wang's hand and said to him: "Old man, you take the educated youth comrades to dinner first. I can smell the aroma of noodles here. Don't worry, I have been here for so many years. "
Uncle Wang took them back to the yard to wash their hands.
The water in the water tank was ice cold, so Uncle Wang went to the kitchen to get some hot water to make it better.
After Lin Qian and the three of them washed their hands, the woman named Dani had already brought out four bowls of noodles, with a plate of fried sauerkraut and a small plate of chopped garlic in the middle.
"Dad, you eat first. If there's not enough for me, I'll go down to the kitchen. The educated youth comrades will stay here tonight. I'll clean up my little sister's house first?"
"Zhong! Da Nier, you have worked hard these days!"
"Thank you, Auntie!" Lin Qian smiled gratefully at the middle-aged woman.
Four bowls of simple water noodles, three of which were more and one less were for Maomao. Lin Qian picked up Maomao and sat on her lap, feeding him first.
"Has your ankle been broken before?" Gao Xiao'an asked Uncle Wang while eating noodles.
