Father's Land Mother's River

Chapter 162 A Different Kind of Life

The room was tidied up and furnished.There are two pots of Chlorophytum placed on the window sill, and a large bed is placed near the window. Even if the child is not outside, the child can still enjoy the sunshine while lying on the bed; on the opposite side of the bed is a TV cabinet and a TV cabinet with a remote control. TV, a dressing table and a four-door wardrobe are placed on one side of the bed.

A plastic washbasin and a toilet are added to the bathroom, and everything that can be thought of is thought of.

All the staff of the farm stood in front of the building and waited for the arrival of Wu Yanli, mother and son.After Liu Xiaonan's car stopped, everyone helped move things into the house, and several women helped Wu Yanli decorate the room.

Liu Xiaonan stood outside holding Wen Tian.Shashan Shashi reported to him that last night, several wooden boats came to the outer sea, and they were driven away by their motorboats. It was time to catch sea cucumbers.

He asked everyone to make preparations in advance today, and what was missing made Shazhou drive his pickup truck to buy, and the sea cucumbers will be officially fished tomorrow.

After the room was set up, several women came out together, and everyone dispersed to do their own work.

Sha Wanli told Liu Xiaonan that on the sunny side of the hillside, there were a few early-ripening big cherries that were already in red, and he took the child to go there to get used to the environment and change his mood.

The big brother himself had lost his wife and child, and he always had a special affection for the child.Actually, this sentence was also for Wu Yanli.

Liu Xiaonan took Wu Yanli, mother and son, to the bay for a walk.Wu Yanli hugged her son, and said to Liu Xiaonan with a relaxed expression, "Thank you, you have considered everything for me and my son. I feel like I am back at home."

Liu Xiaonan said: "Your room was decorated for you by my two uncles and sisters-in-law. It was not my intention to welcome you and the children, but their own initiative. Everyone here is very friendly, and you and the children can feel at ease. It’s safe and clean to live here. Those sister-in-laws will take the initiative to help you if anything happens.”

Wu Yanli said: "When Xiaoyun got married, I stayed at your house for one night. It was the first time I lived in the countryside. Unexpectedly, my son and I will live in this beautiful place for a long time."

Liu Xiaonan hugged Wen Tian in Wu Yanli's arms, and discussed, "Should I buy a wheelchair for the child? Push him around when he's free."

Wu Yanli said, "I've thought about it too, I'll give you the money, and you can buy one for me."

Liu Xiaonan said: "Wen Tian is also a member of the big family of the farm, and all the expenses are borne by me."

Walking through the corner of the bay, Liu Xiaonan pointed to the three houses in Sha Wanli, and told Wu Yanli the story of his relationship with Sha Wanli and his wife.

Wu Yanli remembered, and she said: "That time when we were traveling here, you brought some cucumbers, tomatoes, apricots and gave them to me. They were all given to you by Brother Sha?"

Liu Xiaonan smiled and said, "Look, everyone is destined."

Walking to the bottom of the earth hill, I saw that on the hillside facing the sun, the big early-maturing cherries were already showing a slight red face.Walking into the cherry orchard, Liu Xiaonan knelt down and asked Wen Tian to pick the cherries by himself.

Wen Tian's left hand couldn't reach the level of dexterity to pick one by one, but just grabbed a bunch of cherries, pulled them down with the leaves, and put them in Wu Yanli's hand.

Wu Yanli picked off the leaves, and her son took one by himself. The mother and son tasted the big cherries sweetly, with long-lost happy smiles on their faces.

Liu Xiaonan also picked big cherries and put them in Wen Tian's coat pocket.He said: "Uncle, there are many good things here, and you can get everything you want."

Wen Tian agreed with an "ahh".Wu Yanli looked around, and she asked, "You also contracted this large cherry orchard?"

"Of course." Liu Xiaonan bragged about himself in a rare way: "Now that you know my strength, do you think I'm still the farmer's rotation worker who put the wefts on for you back then?"

Wu Yanli smiled: "You were so simple back then, I dare not say it now."

In the afternoon, Liu Xiaonan drove back to the city with Wu Yanli, mother and son, and bought a children's folding wheelchair at a medical equipment store.By the way, I sent Wu Yanli's mother and son back home and told her parents that everything was fine.

Passing by the department store, Liu Xiaonan insisted that Wu Yanli go and buy some new clothes for her and her children, a new life requires a new look.

After returning to the farm, Liu Xiaonan contacted the customer, arranged for tomorrow's work, went around the room of Wu Yanli, mother and son, and then drove home.

When I got home, I didn't have time to eat first, so I went to report to Wang Aiqing immediately, and brought some big cherries that had just ripened.

After listening to Liu Xiaonan's arrangement, Wang Aiqing said with satisfaction: "Xiaonan, I didn't misunderstand you. Then again, you should do this both emotionally and rationally."

The rural elder brother said: "I said earlier that our brother's biggest advantage is his benevolence. Writing articles and starting a business is not a big deal, I only value him."

Liu Xiaonan said: "Master Wang, I have completed the task you entrusted to me, and I have to entrust you with another task. This is what I think. Wu Yanli can't just take the child with me for the rest of her life. She should Live a normal family life. You know a lot of people and you are very popular, help her find a man who treats her and her children sincerely. It doesn't matter about the economic conditions, we are all her natal family and will help her."

Wang Aiqing nodded and said: "What you said is really a matter. But this matter has to be put aside for a while. Although it is not too particular now, at least it will have to be discussed after half a year or a year."

Liu Xiaonan said: "What I mean is, Master Wang should take this matter to heart first, and find a few targets first."

"How many more?" Wang Aiqing said awkwardly: "With a disabled child, how many loving, courageous and capable men can accept their wives? To say something that shouldn't be said, this matter Difficult."

Liu Xiaonan took out a big cherry: "If not, Master Wang will go out in person. I'll thank Wu Yanli here in advance."

"Smelly boy, plug my mouth with big cherries." Wang Aiqing tasted a few big cherries and said, "I have been neighbors for a few years, and I have eaten all your free goodies. Your elder brother and I are too embarrassed to open our mouths."

Liu Xiaonan smiled and said, "Master Wang, don't worry, you and elder brother can't afford me. However, you have to treat it as a serious matter."

When Liu Xiaonan returned home, the whole family was waiting for him to come back for dinner.Guan Xiaoyun asked with concern: "Have my master and the child settled down?"

"It's settled." Liu Xiaonan replied, sitting next to her children, lovingly stroking the two children one by one.

Touching the child who thought of Wu Yanli, I felt sad for a while, tears flowed down involuntarily, and I didn't want my two children to see it, so I hurried into the bathroom.

Meng Xiangxiang and Guan Xiaoyun didn't know what happened, they also ran into the bathroom, stood behind him, looked at each other but didn't dare to ask further questions.

Liu Xiaonan washed his face, calmed down, and said, "Wu Yanli's boy has delicate features. If he hadn't been sick, he would have grown into a handsome young man in the future. It's a pity that he can't talk or walk. My lord said He understands everything, and his heart is like a mirror. Seeing our two children, I feel bad for that boy."

Meng Xiangxiang said, "Why don't Xiaoyun and I come back early tomorrow afternoon, and go over to see Wu Yanli and her child together."

Liu Xiaonan said: "Let's wait for a while. After Wu Yanli adapts to the new environment and her mood is stable, you can go see her again."

In the 31 years so far, Wu Yanli is not used to seeing high-rise crowds and traffic, and being suddenly placed in a remote, quiet and unfamiliar environment.

Especially after Liu Xiaonan left, she felt that she and her son were abandoned here by an irresistible force.

In the evening, Wu Yanli cleaned up Liu Xiaonan's office and corridors, hugged her son and chatted with Mrs. Sha Liu for a while, then walked through the pine forest and along the edge of the cliff.

She is not yet used to pushing her son in a wheelchair. In her subconscious mind, the fact that her son is in a wheelchair means that he will never be able to stand up.

In the process of seeking medical treatment everywhere, she learned massage, and she has to exercise the muscles of her son's limbs every day. She has been looking forward to a miracle.

As it got dark, Wu Yanli returned to her new home with her son in her arms.The room is big enough, the bed is big enough, and the living facilities are complete, which is much better than her parents' house.She gave her son a massage, put him to sleep, turned on the TV, and curled up under the covers to watch her favorite TV series.

It is loneliness not fear.Wu Yanli watched the TV, but her ears were always listening to the sounds outside, and after a while she glanced at the dark outside through the gap in the curtains.

I dare not look back on the road I have traveled, and dare not look forward to the road ahead. There is nothing to be afraid of.Although only she and her son lived on the second floor of the whole building, Brother Sha's family lived in the doorman's bungalow, and there was a big wolf dog guarding the gate, which was no different from residents in the countryside.

Didn't she never live in the countryside? Didn't Xiaoyun live in Liu Xiaonan's room for one night when she got married?What's the difference between staying for one night and staying for a lifetime?What's more, seeing him every day is the most gratifying.She turned off the TV while self-anesthesizing and went to bed early.

When I got up early after dawn, my son was still soundly asleep.The big bed was very comfortable, and it was very quiet at night. Both she and her son had a good and stable sleep.Opening the curtains and taking a look at the familiar yet unfamiliar new environment outside, she changed herself into new clothes from the inside out.

Xiao Nan was right, to live a new life different from the past, of course there must be a new image, and he must not lose face.

After Wu Yanli finished washing, she put on a long apron and brimless work hat from the textile factory, and went to the kitchen to help Aunt Sha Liu make breakfast for everyone.

Sha Liu looked at Wu Yanli and said, "I'm much better than yesterday. Longwangtang is a good place. I've lived here for more than ten years. I'm used to it, but I can't bear to leave. What's so good about a building in the city? You will too. fit here."

Wu Yanli said: "It is indeed a good place. My son and I have never slept so peacefully. Perhaps, I was destined to come to this place. I didn't believe in fate before, but now I do."

"You are young, what is your fate?" Sha Liu said dissatisfiedly: "I have also been a little widow, what's the matter? Wear what you should wear, wipe what you should wipe, don't pretend to be a resentful woman." If you don’t even feel sorry for yourself, who will feel sorry for you? Xiaonan and his wife are loving and righteous people, so you and your child can live in peace.”

"Thank you, sister-in-law. When you say this, my heart is much brighter."

"That's right. I also became a widow at your age. Later, your elder brother came to me, and I lived a happy life. You are younger and more beautiful than me. How long will you have in the future?" , After a while, that is, your man's anniversary, I will help you find another man."

Wu Yanli lowered her head and said nothing, just busy with the work in hand.Sha Liu's words touched her sore spot and made her heart ache inexplicably.

Sha Liu understood Wu Yanli's thoughts, and said nonchalantly: "The child is sick, and no one wants to do this, but can you just guard this child for the rest of your life? To be honest, when you are [-] or [-], there will be people around you." There is no one who can deliver medicine. Let me tell you, there are men who are ruthless and ungrateful in this world, and there are also men who value love and righteousness. Just wait and see, I will definitely marry you. "

Sha Liu's enthusiasm is irresistible.Wu Yanli smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, if you can successfully marry me off, I will thank you very much."

After everyone had breakfast, Liu Xiaonan also came to the farm.Whether the sea cucumber seedlings put in two years ago can produce the expected benefits depends only on the amount of catch in the past few days, and I am somewhat uncertain.

This is a practice. If it is successful, it will be farmed according to this model in the future.

After arranging their respective division of labor, everyone went to the beach.Only then did Liu Xiaonan have the time to ask Wu Yanli, "Are you still used to staying here last night?"

Wu Yanli said: "I am used to it. My son and I both had a good night's sleep. People are sometimes strange, and it is a kind of happiness to be able to sleep steadily. Thank you very much."

Liu Xiaonan smiled: "If you can't take good care of you, neither Master Wang nor Guan Xiaoyun will forgive me." He took out a passbook and said, "I have made a current savings passbook for you, and I will pay you on time every month. There is 2000 yuan in it, which is considered this month’s salary. If you want to buy something, or feel homesick, just tell me, and I will send you two back home.”

Wu Yanli took the passbook and said, "This is too much. I don't need your special care, just give as much as you should, lest people gossip about you."

Liu Xiaonan said: "I didn't take special care of you. Your salary is the same as Mrs. Sha's and my two uncles' sisters-in-law. There is nothing to do for the time being. You go to the beach with your child to see sea cucumbers. It's very lively."

Wu Yanli hugged her son and followed Liu Xiaonan to the seaside under the cliff.The men all went into the sea, either rocking the boat or diving into the sea. The sea cucumbers they caught were packed in net bags, and Shawanli carried the small sampan to the shore.

The women were packing the boxes, Liu Xiaonan and the purchasers weighed in together, and everyone was busy and happy.

The unrestrained harvest scene infects Wu Yanli, and she and her son are the only idlers here.She felt a little regretful, she should have put her son in a wheelchair, so she could have helped.

Sea cucumbers still came out the next day.Wu Yanli put on her overalls and water boots, put her son in a wheelchair, and wanted to go to the beach to work like other women.Liu Xiaonan didn't allow it, the reason was simple, it wasn't her job.

After the fishing was over, Liu Xiaonan sat in front of the computer and made statistics.The input and output have increased several times, and a confident and satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Wu Yanli knocked on the door and came in, and poured Liu Xiaonan a cup of tea.Liu Xiaonan asked her to sit across from her, and asked her, "Now I know what I should do?"

"Understood." Wu Yanli suppressed a smile and said, "Don't you just want to pretend to be a big boss in front of me? I will satisfy your vanity."

Liu Xiaonan also smiled: "I can't pretend in front of others, I can only pretend in front of you, who told you that you used to be my master. Let's not talk about this kind of joke, tell me the truth, Wen Tian's illness is really good. Local treatment? I can afford any medical expenses, this is really not pretending."

Wu Yanli shook her head: "I've been to all the places I need to go, and there is no hope. Even if there is a glimmer of hope, I will accept your help to save my son, but... don't waste that money."
