Chapter 240：

After eating and the weather was too hot, Qin Lingling left her third elder brother and daughter at home for a rest, after all, the country came from thousands of miles away.

"When it's not that hot in the afternoon, let's go out again." Qin Lingling suggested.

Zhang Ruixin easily agreed, but Dandan was curious about his aunt's village, and he didn't mean to be sleepy after eating and drinking.

She slept in the car for a while, but now she is full of energy.

Li Dani was okay, and when she saw this, she said to Qin Lingling and the others: "Why don't I take my child out and stop by?"

Probably she's getting older. When Li Dani saw the child, she liked it too tightly. Dandan was very obedient. Although she hadn't been here for a while, Li Dani liked the little girl very much.

Qin Lingling had no objection and looked at her third brother.

Zhang Ruixin hesitated and asked Dandan again, "Do you want to play with grandma?"

Dandan nodded, "Thinking."

"Then go."

When Li Dani heard this, she said happily: "Don't worry, I will take her well, so I will take her to the door."

"Well, trouble you."

"No trouble, no trouble."

Li Dani took the food, took Dandan and went to visit, and introduced Dandan to Dandan while walking.

Everyone stood at the door, watching Li Dani's excitement, Qin Lingling couldn't help but said: "When Guoqiang has her own child, I guess Aunt Dani will be even more excited."

She could even imagine how happy Li Dani was when Guoqiang and Lin Jiao got married and had children.

I have to say that although Li Dani is not a good stepmother, she is a mother and grandmother who loves her children so much. The living environment limits her three-view pattern, but the current changes are unexpected.

After talking in the room, Qin Lingling was also a little sleepy, the house was just ventilated, the air was better, and it was just right to rest.

Gu Zheng did not rest, and said this to his third brother and his dad.

My family’s house has been built, but their young couple’s house still has a lot of work to do, and now the outer floors have been built.

Gu Dashun told Gu Zheng one by one about his supervision of the house, and he would do the rest on his own.

During the period, the third brother also participated in their chat, and then went to see their new house with Gu Zheng.

The two houses are not too far apart, just a few steps away.

The house now has more than two floors built with red bricks, the outer layer of cement has not been painted, and the floor inside has not been paved. These are all waiting for them to come back.

In a country house, it’s good for everyone to live in red bricks, and it won’t be too frustrating. Even like Gu Dashun and their current home, the floor is covered with cement on the inside and the walls are covered with cement and white ash. As for the outside, it’s also red. brick. And more people actually don't have anything.

However, Gu Zheng’s young couple’s home didn’t plan to make it up casually. On the contrary, they had to be more elaborate. Not to mention that the house is covered with tiles everywhere, but it is absolutely not good to just paint a wall.

The design of the house was set jointly by Qin Lingling and Gu Zheng. The stairs are inside the house. Entering the house is a hall, then on the right is the kitchen, and on the left are several rooms.

Go upstairs from the stairs on the left. On the second floor are several large rooms and a hall.

The two walked around before going back.

Qin Lingling slept for two hours before waking up. When she woke up, she saw her man sitting on the side.

Seeing her waking up, Gu Zheng quickly poured warm water and handed it over, "Thirst?"

Qin Lingling nodded, then smiled and accepted: "Thank you husband."

Gu Zheng loves to hear her say her husband. When Qin Lingling says this name, Gu Zheng laughs and replied, "You're welcome, wife."

Although husband and wife are called husbands and wives, but nowadays, people never call them that way. It is either my wife or my daughter-in-law, my woman. Few people call them husband and wife, and they always feel too embarrassed.

It is precisely because of this that every time Qin Lingling calls Gu Zheng, he always smiles happily.

Qin Lingling rubbed her eyes and asked, "How many points are you now?"

"It's three o'clock."

"I have slept for so long?"

"Yeah." Gu Zheng carefully helped her up and asked again: "Would you like to go out for a walk?"

"Well, I definitely want it!"

When she came back this time, she planned to go around the village more. If she didn’t, wouldn’t it be a waste of her coming back?

After Qin Lingling washed her face, Dandan, who was led by Li Dani to play outside, also returned.

Seeing Dandan come back happily, Li Dani was obviously very happy to take her out to play.

Qin Lingling smiled and asked, "How is Dandan playing?"

The little guy nodded, "Very happy."

I heard the child tell me that Li Dani took the child to visit the house. The child was well-behaved and polite. The adults liked it when they saw it. This is a boast, and that gives some sweets and biscuits. It is very good for the child, but it makes Dandan happy. .

Li Dani kept boasting that Dandan was an obedient child, and she liked it very much.

Two people, one old and the other young, didn't expect to come together so well.

If Li Dani didn't have work to do, she would probably take her children around for a few more laps.

The Gu family and the couple went to the fields, and there were only four of them left in the family.

Qin Lingling made a simple pat of cucumber, Huang Guang specially soaked it in cool well water, and then patted it with the seasoning. It tasted great.

The three adults were satisfied when they slapped cucumbers with spicy food. As for Dandan, they breathed non-stop, "It's so spicy, so spicy..."

She quickly slapped her mouth with her hand, breathlessly, but made the three adults laugh.

But after laughing, Zhang Ruixin hurriedly made cold water for the child to drink, let her relieve the spiciness.

Seeing the appearance of Third Brother carefully serving her daughters, Qin Lingling smiled and said, "Third Brother is a good father, let's see how well Dandan is taken care of by you."

Zhang Ruixin was taken aback, and smiled: "I'm not a good father."

It takes at least seven years of life for the child to find someone back, and he can't be called a good father.

Qin Lingling didn't think so, "It wasn't the result you wanted before. Besides, Dandan was found back by you the first time, and now Dandan is well taken care of by you."

She still remembered that when she first met Dandan, the child was thin, small and dark, and the whole person looked particularly lifeless, which made people feel distressed.

But now Dandan is raised a lot more white and tender, and the people are also very lively, plus the children are polite, such Dandan, people like it very much.

However, no matter how Qin Lingling praises Zhang Ruixin, in Zhang Ruixin's eyes, he is not a good father yet. He needs to take good care of his daughter so that she will not have the same hardship as before.

Qin Lingling went to see the condition of the new house. After that, the weather became cooler, and it was just after five o'clock that she took Dandan around the village.

Probably because Dandan herself grew up living in the countryside. Although she is afraid of poverty in the countryside, she still finds a familiar atmosphere here, and walks more easily, not like in a provincial capital. For fear of being rejected by others, she is a little girl from the countryside who knows nothing and knows nothing.

The two of them wandered all the way, talking about the flowers, the mountains and rivers.

As for the two men Gu Zheng and Zhang Ruixin, they followed behind, chatting without a word.

Qin Lingling has not been back to the village for a long time, and the changes that have taken place in the village in the past year have been earth-shaking.

Although the mountain is still the same and the land is still low, the houses in the village have undergone great changes. In the past, they lived in simple mud-brick houses. Even many families did not have the money to build large houses. You can squeeze in a small room, just put two or three beds in a room, and then the whole family will sleep together, or you can make a wooden shed, some people sleep on it, and some people sleep under it.

Every year when there is a lot of rain, after every family returns home from work, the man will go to the house to repair the tiles, while the woman will hold the wooden ladder on the side, and the two will repair the tiles of the house together. Even mud bricks often hide all kinds of bugs, and then destroy the house. Rats scattered in this crack and hole on the wall.

But now it's different. Many people have built their houses with red bricks. The tiles are newly put on. They are all neat and tidy. It takes a long time before the occasional rain leaks.

Moreover, along the way, everyone’s dressing is different from before. They are neatly dressed, with a lot less patches, and all of them have more flesh on their faces, with happy smiles on their faces. That’s right. Yearning for future life.

Everyone would say hello when they saw Qin Lingling and them.

Especially when she saw that Qin Lingling's belly was so big, the aunts and aunts who were women stopped one by one to ask how many months her belly was.

After listening to it for a month, everyone couldn't help but guess, "Look at this belly, it's not like pregnant with one, so big, wouldn't it be the first two?"

Qin Lingling smiled back, "I don't know this, but no matter how many, they are all my own children."

"That's not true, but when I was pregnant with my baby, my belly wasn't that big. You are a bit big, I thought I was about to give birth."

Qin Lingling had also doubted whether her stomach would stay two small things.

But I think that every time I go to the hospital for check-ups, many mothers have similar stomachs this month. On the contrary, the situation that the sister-in-law said just now is more like because the living environment was not so good in the past and the food was not good.

As for the number of children in it, Qin Lingling had no other worries except that the children she had prepared were not enough.

Gu Zheng saw her worries and said, "Or we can prepare double shares. In case of one or two, we are also prepared."

"What if one?"

"Let the children change more frequently, anyway, there is no loss."

"Well, what are you going to do?" Qin Lingling smiled.

Qin Lingling made the little clothes for the child herself. She didn't make much. In addition, the child was born very early. Every day was a leisurely preparation. For some items, she planned to buy them directly outside.

Gu Zheng choked when she said this, but still said, "Then... I will learn?"

"Forget it, I'm just joking with you. The time when our child was born is neither cold nor hot. It is convenient to prepare everything. Besides, there are all available for sale outside, so don't worry."

The only thing Qin Lingling feels worried about is, "Is this child too lazy, and hasn't moved. The children of other people's families have already jumped hard at this time."

Speaking of it, Qin Lingling's stomach has been six or seven months old, but the baby hasn't moved her baby. When she thinks of other families, she seems to start moving after five months, which makes Qin Lingling envious.

She stroked the child's belly several times, persuading it to move, but the child was as cold as before, just refused to move.

Gu Zheng explained with a smile: "Probably because Xiaobao is lazy."

"Who is he like?" Qin Lingling looked sad, and the child did not move. She felt that the entire pregnancy seemed incomplete.

Gu Zheng responded, "It's not like me anyway."

"Is it like me?"

Gu Zheng continued to shook his head, "It's not like, but it's good for the child to be quiet. If he is too lively, we will be more tired if we take him."

You and I chatted with each other, leaving the third brother, father and daughter behind.

As for the father and daughter who followed, the child was curious about the food around him. Sometimes when he saw wild flowers, he would run over to pick one or two, and they were not affected by the abandonment.

As for Zhang Ruixin, looking at the couple in front of him, he couldn’t help thinking, if the child’s mother did not have an accident and is still alive, would they be like Lingling and his wife? He worked hard to earn money to support the family and his wife was responsible. Beautiful and beautiful, in their spare time, the couple walked hand in hand, talked, and the years were peaceful.

But thinking about it, he quickly shook his head again.

No matter what he thinks, this has become impossible, and the woman he likes is no longer there.

Looking at the children picking wild flowers under the tree, he was grateful that God had left him a child of theirs.

"Dad, come here and pick them together..." Dandan was picking flowers and beckoning to his father.

"Okay, right now."

Because they wanted to bring Dandan over to play longer, the father and daughter decided to stay in Xiaogu Village for a few more days.

However, because Zhang Ruixin himself has a lot of work to do, he only stayed for two days and was ready to go back.

Dan Dan was reluctant to go back, and Qin Lingling and Gu Zheng would not go back so early.

After discussion, Zhang Ruixin finally planned to keep the child and let her live a little longer, and when Qin Lingling and the others were about to return to the city, he would come to pick them up again.

In this way, everyone is happy that the children can live in the countryside for a few more days and enjoy the fun of playing with the children in the village. Qin Lingling can also take the third brother's car to go back at that time, instead of having to take a bus and transfer. .

"Then I will help you get the indicators of the car early by the way, and when you go back, I will prepare the money and documents." Zhang Ruixin said.

"OK."

On the day Zhang Ruixin left, Dandan was still very reluctant.

But when Zhang Ruixin smiled and said to her, "Would you like to go back with Dad first?" The child shook his head and said no, "I want to play more here."

Seeing the girl reluctant to leave, Zhang Ruixin felt even more reluctant to leave her.

Qin Lingling persuaded: "Brother, let Dandan keep it for a few more days. See how happy she is now, her personality is much more lively, and the province and city are different. Although our family treats her well, But after all, she used to live in the countryside and had a lot of discomfort in the provincial capital. On the contrary, here, she can let go of her hands and feet, and when her personality becomes better, there will be less pressure in the future."

What Qin Lingling said is really on the point. Zhang Ruixin can also see that although the children eat and drink well at home, they can get along with their grandparents very happily. The adults are pampering him. The neighbors are also very kind to Dandan.

But Dandan has lived in the countryside for many years. What she has seen and heard is exactly the same as the children in the compound. When others are playing with toys, the children are cutting pig grass. She knows where the pig grass is fat and tender. It is most suitable for pigs, but the child is talking about which candy is sweeter and more fragrant.

Because of the different living environment, everyone was in harmony at the beginning, but gradually they will find that the children feel that they are separated from their friends and cannot play together.

But the children in Xiaogu Village are similar. When Dandan is with them, he can go up the mountain to dig out bird eggs, he can go into the stream to catch fish with shau-kei, and sometimes he will follow his eldest brother and them to mow pig grass in the mountains and collect firewood. millet.

Although Dandan doesn't need to do these housework now, but these are the things she is most familiar with, and she will feel cordial.

Zhang Ruixin also understood this, so he agreed to let the child stay and go back by himself.

"I know, I just don't worry about her being here alone." After speaking, Zhang Ruixin knew that what he said was incomplete, and explained: "I'm not saying that you are not good, but I can't see Dandan, so I will not Don't worry, I don't want to lose her mother. I don't want to lose her again."

Qin Lingling smiled and nodded, "Brother, I understand what you mean, don't worry, I will take care of Dandan. If you are not at ease, you can come early when you are done, and you don't have to worry about Dandan eating at my side. I can't sleep well anymore."

"Well, I will try my best."

After Zhang Ruixin left, Qin Lingling, a pregnant woman, mainly led Dandan around every day, and then made a meal at noon and night. During the day, when he was free, he would make some small clothes for the child. The day passed quickly. .

Three days later, the third brother, who was worried that her daughter could not eat well, hurriedly returned.

In the past few days, Gu Zheng ran up and down about the house, without stopping.

After Zhang Ruixin came, the weather cleared and the whole village began to enter the busy stage of farming.

When Gu's family was busy with the farming, the couple got up early every day, prepared the grass and sickle baskets, and went to the fields.

Gu Zheng and Zhang Ruixin will also help, and even Dandan will send some tea to the adults.

As for Qin Lingling, who is mainly busy with housework at home, she cooks breakfast for everyone in the morning so that she can have a balanced nutrition and eat enough so that everyone will not be so tired after they come back.

Originally, Gu Guoqiang thought that his family was about to be busy with farming, and wanted to come back to help. He heard that his eldest brother and sister-in-law were there, so he was relieved.

Don't even think that Zhang Ruixin is from the city, but he also went to the countryside to do farm work and studied seriously. Even in the past so many years, his ability to harvest rice is not weak.

With Gu Zheng and Zhang Ruixin helping, the Gu family's husband and wife are much faster. In addition to rice, there are peanuts in a few acres of land. The four of them took only four or five days to get it all done, and the rest is to dry the rice. Things.

Drying rice in summer is not easy. Compared to harvesting rice, drying rice is even more tiring. After all, this June day is just as naughty as a child. It rains in the east and the sun shines in the west. When dark clouds come, you have to be careful that the rice is drenched. wet.

However, Gu's family was able to solve it quickly. Although the rain is more frequent in summer, as long as the sun is strong enough, it can shorten a lot of time.

Moreover, other people’s homes are drying rice in the Yanggu farm. Gu’s is different. The yard at the door of Gu’s house was built. When his father opposed it, Gu Guoqiang repeatedly insisted on paving a concrete floor with cement. The rice in their house is all exposed in front of their home. Not only is the location more spacious, but it is mainly closer to the house. There is no need for them to rush to Yangguchang every time a dark cloud comes.

These things have nothing to do with Qin Lingling and the others. These days, the things at home are almost the same. It is impossible for the third brother to stay in the village for a long time. Sooner or later the young couple will have to go back to the city. After all, the city There are many things waiting for them to deal with.

However, Gu Zheng still had to stay at home for a few days, so Qin Lingling and his third brother and daughter went home in the end. Gu Zheng would take a bus back to the city in a few days.

"Then come back early when you are done." Before leaving, Qin Lingling said to Gu Zheng.

In a few days, both Gu Zheng and the third brother got a lot of tan.

Looking at his skin color, Qin Lingling thought of how he looked when he was still in the army. She was dark every day. Fortunately, his face was strong enough to fight.

Gu Zheng responded well and asked her to take good care of her body, "I'm not at home, you go to bed early, don't stay up late, you can stay up, the children can't stay up, otherwise it will be bad if you come out and stay up all night."

Qin Lingling was amused by his tone. She stretched out her hand and rubbed his reluctant face and said, "Don't worry, I will go to bed early. I will wait for you to go back in the city."

"Um."

When the third brother's car left, Gu Zheng only felt empty in his heart.

Since he was transferred to the city, the husband and wife have been separated less and less time. Now that he has resigned from work, he has more time to spend time with his wife. This kind of separation for a few days has not been encountered in a long time.

After Qin Lingling returned to the city, Qin Lingling first went to Zhang's house with her third brother to visit the two elderly people.

When they arrived, Qiao Ju happened to be at Zhang's house.

Qiao Ju is faster than Qin Lingling. Now the child has been born. Her husband opened the door for her and asked her to carefully carry the sleeping child down.

Qiao Ju was not surprised to see Qin Lingling here, "Lingling, I'm back."

Qin Lingling approached with a smile and asked, "Well, how did you know that I came back?"

"Grandpa they said." Qiao Ju pointed at the two old men.

It turned out that today the old man received a call from Qiao Ju, just saying that he missed the child, and that Qin Lingling and his third cousin were back from the countryside. Qiao Ju thought that he was not busy now, so he came and walked around so that the elderly could look at the children. .

Qin Lingling replied: "No wonder." As she spoke, she turned her eyes on the child again.

The child has inherited the advantages of his parents, and the long jade snow is pink and tender, and people can't help but want to get close.

Looking at the child, Qiao Ju's eyes suddenly softened, and said to Qin Lingling: "This little villain fell asleep as soon as he got in the car. I guess he will wake up soon."

"Yeah. It looks so cute and cute." Qin Lingling couldn't help but touched the child's cheek with her finger to show her affection.

Qiao Ju saw that she liked children so much, and said with a smile: "After a while, your little treasure should also come out, and my family will be accompanied by that time."

"Um."

Qiao Ju looked at Dandan, who was following her third cousin again. The child was staring at the baby in her arms.

Qiao Ju said to her: "Dandan will be the eldest sister in the future. You must take good care of your younger siblings by then."

Although the adult was a joke, she took it seriously in Dandan's ears, "I will take care of them. I used to help my aunt to see my sister."

The old lady raising Dandan has several sons and grandchildren, who are younger than Dandan. She used to take care of a lot.
