Chen Jiaojiao got up in anger and began to put on her clothes layer by layer: "What does her bad mood have to do with me? Isn't she just bullying me on purpose? What do you mean by eating and sleeping? What's the weather like outside now? Which family doesn't stay indoors? Isn't she the same? If she has the ability, why doesn't she go out and find something to do?"
Mo Ze sat up from the bed: "She can say whatever she wants, just ignore her. Where are you going now?"
Chen Jiaojiao wrapped herself up tightly and said, "I'm going back to my parents' home to see my mother."
Mo Ze sat on the bed without moving, and said insincerely: "It's so cold, don't move. Do you want me to go back with you?"
Chen Jiaojiao rolled her eyes at him and walked out of the bedroom. Sun Miao had already returned to his room after his outburst. Chen Jiaojiao quickly ran to the storage room, picked out some easy-to-carry food, filled a basket and went out.
When she got outside, even though she was wearing very warm clothes, Chen Jiaojiao still shivered from the cold. She sniffed and quickened her pace towards her mother's home.
The weather was too cold and there were hardly any people walking outside. People we met on the street were all in a hurry. No one recognized each other and no one paid any attention to each other.
Chen Jiaojiao walked and stopped and fell several times. She felt a little resentful towards her mother for not listening to her and moving in with her. She had to suffer in that one-bedroom apartment, which made her feel alone and powerless in the Mo family, and she was insulted by the old woman at home every day.
Seeing some passengers riding snowmobiles on the road, Chen Jiaojiao gave them half a pack of biscuits as fare and squeezed in.
Finally arriving at the door of her home, Chen Jiaojiao knocked on it, but there were three people in the room. Her younger brother Chen Qi was lying on the bed, looking a little pale, and there was a tall man sitting on the side, drinking tea.
Chen Jiaojiao frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed her expression: "Mom, what happened to my brother? Captain Gao is so busy on weekdays, how come he has time to come over?"
Li Zhenzhen closed the door tightly and took the things from her daughter's hand. "Your brother has a fever. Captain Gao sent some medicine when he found out. Now you can't buy antipyretic medicine in the pharmacy. If it weren't for Captain Gao, your brother would still be suffering."
Chen Jiaojiao hurriedly thanked Captain Gao: "Thank you so much. In this weather, many people can't stand the cold and get sick. Many medicines in the pharmacy are out of stock. Captain Gao, please send your medicine over. We really don't know how to thank you."
Captain Gao put down the cup in his hand, stood up, and replied: "Your mother and I are colleagues. A few pills are not worth much. Your brother's health is the most important. You and your family can talk. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Li Zhenzhen didn't want to keep him, she stood up and sent him to the door. Captain Gao turned around and said, "It's too cold outside. I'll close the door when I go out. Don't send me off. The child hasn't recovered yet, and you've caught a cold too."
Li Zhenzhen nodded, and Captain Gao opened the door and walked out, closing the door. Li Zhenzhen then bolted and locked the door in the house.
Chen Jiaojiao sat in front of her brother's bed and reached out to touch his forehead. Li Zhenzhen turned around and saw this scene and hurriedly stopped her.
"Don't freeze your brother. He just feels a little better. If you really want to touch him, rub your hands first." Li Zhenzhen said.
Chen Jiaojiao pouted: "My hands are not cold. It's true that you don't feel sorry for your daughter after she gets married. You only have your brother in your heart."
Complaining, Chen Jiaojiao rubbed her hands carefully, and touched her brother's forehead when she felt it was about time. Chen Qi opened his eyes and looked at her. Chen Jiaojiao's jealousy disappeared a little, and she felt a little distressed again.
"Qiqi, I brought back some eight-treasure porridge. I'll heat it up and you can have some. I also brought back a piece of frozen meat. When you feel better, let your mother cook it for you." Chen Jiaojiao said to her brother.
Chen Qi curled his lips at his sister and closed his eyes tiredly. Li Zhenzhen sat beside him and picked out the good soybeans from a plate: "Let him sleep for a while, his fever has just subsided."
Chen Jiaojiao moved to sit next to her mother, looking at the beans on her plate that were mixed with dirt and bad seeds, and frowned: "Why did you pick these up? Is there nothing to eat at home? Why didn't you tell me?"
Li Zhenzhen smiled and said, "How can there be no food? This is what I found at the supplies department. Food is so precious nowadays. Don't underestimate this small amount. If I pick it up, I can exchange it for a lot of practical things."
Chen Jiaojiao also knew that life was not easy now, but she still felt sad: "I told you to move in with me. No matter what the Mo family does, they can't have more than two of you."
Li Zhenzhen had her own thoughts: "What would that look like? Your brother and I are not having a hard time right now. Compared to the other people in this shelter, we are already doing well. If we still go to your house to eat and drink, what will the people here think of us?"
Chen Qi's work has also been suspended for more than a month, but Li Zhenzhen's work in the Materials Department is still continuing. The only difference is that she doesn't have to go there every day like before. Now she works in shifts, with two days off and half a day off, and her work points are only ten points a month.
But Li Zhenzhen and Chen Qi had saved some work points before, and her work at the Materials Department also made it possible for Li Zhenzhen to stock up some things. Chen Jiaojiao was married again and would occasionally bring some things back, so her and her son's life was not really difficult.
Chen Jiaojiao sat aside without saying anything. Li Zhenzhen saw that she looked resentful. Thinking of her bad face after she came in, she asked, "Did you quarrel with your mother-in-law again? Did she say something unpleasant again?"
Chen Jiaojiao glanced at her brother who seemed to be asleep, and pulled her mother: "Let's go inside and sit on the bed and talk for a while, so as not to disturb her brother's rest."
Li Zhenzhen followed her and stood up: "Let me soak the food I'm going to eat later in hot water first."
When Li Zhenzhen entered the bedroom, Chen Jiaojiao was already sitting on the bed covered with a quilt. When she saw her mother come in, she quickly lifted the quilt and let her sit next to her.
"That old woman scolds me every day, calling me a hen that doesn't lay eggs. She says all kinds of ugly things. She is so vulgar and shameless. I really don't know why the Mo family would marry such a person. I heard that she used to be a college student, but I can't tell at all. This old thing is almost seventy years old and she doesn't even have many white hairs. The other elderly people are almost dead, but she is still jumping around happily. I am so fed up with her now!" Chen Jiaojiao complained while hugging her mother's arm.
Li Zhenzhen touched her daughter's head and said, "Some people's personal qualities have little to do with their education level. When you were about to marry her, I told you that woman was not a worry-free person. The most uncomfortable thing about being a daughter-in-law is that the elders above are difficult to get along with, and the husband is also useless."
Chen Jiaojiao didn't want to hear this and continued, "She keeps urging me to give birth every day. Am I some kind of reproductive machine? Don't you see what kind of life I'm living now? If I get pregnant and give birth in this situation, I think she wants me to die."
Li Zhenzhen also felt that the current situation was not suitable for having a child: "Why don't you stay at home for two days, so you don't have to worry about seeing your mother-in-law."
Chen Jiaojiao didn't want to stay because the conditions at home were too simple. It was really not as good as the Mo family, where they had everything they needed. She still wanted to go back.
As soon as the conversation changed, Chen Jiaojiao asked, "Mom, is there any news about my dad and the others? Last time I heard that the head of the Mo family specially sent someone to tell you that we can use the radio to find them?"
Li Zhenzhen shook her head: "I tried once, but there were many places where the radio didn't respond. Maybe I couldn't get in touch with them. I didn't have any news, so I didn't bother them again. It's freezing cold, and I can't get over it even if I know. So forget it."
Chen Jiaojiao's mind moved slightly: "Mom, what's the matter with Captain Gao? Why do I feel that he cares so much about our family's affairs? Especially for you, he cares a lot."
Li Zhenzhen raised her eyes, not knowing where to start. This Captain Gao was a martial arts coach before. She heard from others that this man had real kung fu and was very skilled.
Li Zhenzhen had no doubts in her heart. The fact that the Mo family appointed him as the security captain outside the main area showed that this man was no simple one, and his physical fitness was really good. Even in such a bad environment, Li Zhenzhen had never heard him cough once.
But according to Li Zhenzhen's thoughts, she didn't want to develop any relationship between men and women now under the invisible protection of the Mo family. Privately, she didn't think much of Captain Gao. She had seen a lot of men, and love had long been insulated from her.
If someone as powerful as Mo Qing came and gave her the opportunity, Li Zhenzhen would definitely seize it. As for someone like Captain Gao, Li Zhenzhen's current situation is not so dire.
It's just that at the beginning, she and Qiqi were not careful in doing things and were seen by this man. Li Zhenzhen now has to deal with him indifferently. Fortunately, this man is polite and doesn't do anything annoying.
