Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

Chapter 136
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Yang Weimin smiled reassuringly at Mrs. Gu, then put the blanket on the cart beside him, and drove the ox cart away.

Hearing Niu Maoqiu hastily leaned over the window and took a look, but the white paper was too thick, she only vaguely saw the bullock cart being driven away, as for who it was, she didn't see clearly yet.

Chunqiu looked back curiously, and said to Yuan Shi beside him, "Mother, it's not easy to go today, why did uncle drive out?" Although Chunqiu didn't see the people on the ox cart clearly, she would guess that her father was Working underground, if the uncle and grandpa are concerned, her grandma will not let them go out, so only the uncle will be left.

"Kids, don't ask around." Yuan shook the white line with her teeth, and rebuked the spring and autumn.

Taking advantage of her mother not resting, Chunqiu secretly made a face, then turned to look at her father, "Dad, do you know?"

"Oh? What's the matter?" Yang Weibo was a little confused.

"It's uncle," Chunqiu said again patiently.

"I don't know, maybe there's something wrong." Yang Weibo scratched his head with his hand, and said uncertainly, he didn't leave the house just now, how did he know.

Chunqiu didn't get the information she wanted from her father, and she lay down on the kang in a somewhat decadent manner. Alas, her second brother went to study, and Huzi was also called by the second brother because he was going to be enlightened in the spring. Now Only Chunqiu, who had nothing to do, and Yuan Shi Yang Weibo, who was busy with work were left in the room. Chunqiu, who could not go out without a playmate, said: She is so boring.

From Yangjia Village, there is only one main road. Yang Weimin drove an ox cart. Looking at the thick snow on both sides of the road, the speed of driving the ox cart slowed down. This is also the first time for Yang Weimin to go out after snow. If you accidentally sink in, I'm afraid it won't be easy to come out.

Because the small roads were impassable, Yang Weimin took the main roads, and because there was no one on one section, Yang Weimin got out of the car to clear the roads.

Yang Weimin drove to Gu's Village and picked up Mrs. Gu who was still at home and had no one to take care of her.

"Mother, please put on this blanket quickly, and this Mrs. Tang, you also keep your hands covered." Yang Weibo helped Old Madam Gu into the bullock cart, and gave Mrs. Tang the Mrs. Tang that Gu's handed him, and looked at Gu. The old lady was trembling all over and her lips were blue and purple. Yang Weimin wanted to beat Gu Daxing in his heart. When Yang Weimin came over, the old lady was curled up in the cold quilt covered with her thin cotton quilt. As for the kang, Mrs. Gu is quite old, how can she still have the strength to light the fire? To put it bluntly, if Yang Weimin hadn't come in time, Mrs. Gu might not be able to survive this winter if it is so cold.

"Oh, yes... it's Fen'er... let you come here" Because of the cold weather, the old lady Gu's words trembled a little, Yang Weimin directly reached out to support the trembling old lady Gu, and said in a low voice, "Mother, stop talking , I'll go to the house and get you some clothes." Yang Weimin looked at the old lady Gu who was still chilling under two layers of blankets, and thought that there should be other things in the room. His physique is not good at all, if something is wrong with the cold, it is his fault.

"Hey, the clothes and quilts are all put in the cabinet." Mrs. Gu covered Mrs. Tang with her hands, her expression softened a bit, and her voice didn't sound like the trembling voice mixed with crying as before.

Yang Weimin nodded after hearing this, and then entered the house. The house that Mrs. Gu lives in is a very old mud-planted house. Although the previous heavy snow did not collapse the house, water seeped in after the snow melted. Yang Weimin looked at the cabinet On the muddy snow spot, he frowned without leaving any traces.

Opening the cabinet, Yang Weimin choked on the incoming moisture, "cough cough cough...cough cough cough"

Yang Weimin covered his mouth and nose, supported the cabinet door with one hand, and rummaged through the clothes in the cabinet with the other. Because they had been stored in the cabinet without sunlight for a long time, these clothes of Mrs. Gu felt damp to the touch, and the clothes on top were fine. At the bottom, Yang Weimin felt that water could be wrung out.

But if you don't bring clothes, Mrs. Gu doesn't have any clothes to change and wash at Yang's house, so she can borrow some from his mother, but with Yang Li's temper, Yang Weimin has no choice but to smile bitterly. It is already a big concession for Mrs. Gu to live in Yang's house.

Yang Weimin took out a waterproof cloth from the side and threw it on the kang, then picked out a few clothes that looked wearable from the cabinet and wrapped them up, then wrapped a set of quilts in his arms, and then locked the door.

Wrapping the quilt around Old Madam Gu again, Yang Weimin untied the rope from the ox cart and led the ox cart out of Gu's house.

Yang Weibo set off in the morning, and it was already afternoon when he came back, because the road he had taken before suddenly collapsed, and Yang Weimin temporarily changed to another road, which wasted a lot of time.

When the two came back, Yang Weimin parked the ox cart at the gate of the West House, and helped the old lady Gu in the cart back to the house. Mrs. Gu was sitting in the room embroidering a purse. Putting down the things in his hands, he hurriedly ran down to the ground.

"Mother, what are you doing?" Mrs. Gu stretched out her hand to support Mrs. Gu, then touched her mother's cold wrist, and let go of her hand reflexively.

"Fen'er, mother is cold, why did you come here?" Mrs. Gu complained in her tone, and looked at Gu with aggrieved eyes. She had been frozen in Gu's house for seven days alone. If Yang Weimin hadn't come in time, she would have been frozen soon. dead.

When Mrs. Gu heard what her mother said, the tears in her eyes couldn't stop streaming down. She reached out to cover Old Madam Gu's hand, and said in a mournful tone, "Mother, my daughter can't help it either."

The mother and daughter seemed to have opened their tear ducts. They hugged each other and cried bitterly. They turned around and ran out again, holding Chunhua who was just about to enter the door.

Yang Weimin patted Gu on the shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Don't cry, mother's clothes are too cold, help mother to the kang, and change clothes for mother." Mrs. Gu's clothes were already out of fashion. Besides, Mrs. Gu is also old, and she has been wearing trendy clothes for too long, so it is not good to catch cold.

"Hey, look at me, I'm confused." Mrs. Gu wiped her tears, then helped Mrs. Gu onto the kang, and covered her mother with the warm quilt before, "Mother, I'll go and give it to you." Find your clothes, let's change them and wash them first." Seeing that her mother was still wearing the clothes she had when she went there, Gu's heart felt dull and painful, Gu's eyes were dim, it seemed that she had made for her mother before The cotton coat was taken by the sister-in-law again.

When Mrs. Gu heard that her daughter wanted to find new clothes for her, she was very happy, "Fen'er, really? The previous one was snatched by your sister-in-law's white-eyed wolf, and my mother has no clothes to wear." The old lady took the opportunity to sue her. Although the padded coat was finally worn by her son, Mrs. Gu dared not say that it was her son, and she still wanted him to take care of her.

"Okay, mother, I still have some here, and I'll bring it here for you." After Gu Shi finished speaking, she turned around and took out a cotton coat from the cupboard she reached out to, handed it to the old lady, and said, "Mother, bake this clothes first." , and then put it on..."

"Oh, I know..."

"Sister, our grandma is here again." Chunhua ran directly to Chunni's room, and after entering the door, she sat on the side of the kang, turned her head to look at Chunni, and said angrily.
