C6 Disturbance
What was worth showing off was that the hospitals in this era were all doctors and nurses, and the medical fees were all very cheap. In this era, there were no common people who could not be cured because of poverty.
In addition, the people of this era were very hardworking and did not treat physical injuries as a form of injury at all. Therefore, Lu Zipingqiang can just ask the doctors in the medical department to apply some purple medicine on him.
He didn't know what kind of medicine the purple liquid was made from, or what kind of medicine it was made from. The effects were indescribable.
Lu Ziping returned home in a completely different appearance after being bandaged by the bandages. He looked at Lu Xinfei emotionally and noticed that his sister Lu Xinfei had changed. She was no longer the ingrate sister.
Later, Lu Ziping went to inquire about it, only to learn that Chen Dayong was sentenced to a month in detention for persuasive education. However, because Chen Dayong refused to accept the organization's verdict and used such crude methods to obstruct public service, the department became disgusted and gave him an additional half a month of detention.
Chen Dayong's old mother also served Xiao Hu. When her son, Chen Dayong, left the house and went to Lu Xinfei's home on his bicycle to find Lu Xinfei, the more Old Lady Chen thought about it, the more afraid she became that her son was afraid of being bullied by the Lu Family.
Just as she was thinking of this, suddenly, Zhang Yan's mother-in-law came over to play, saying that Zhang Yan's sister had come. She didn't know if it was true or false, but Lu Xinfei's heartless woman actually sent Chen Dayong into the police station. Old Lady Chen's heart was already lonely. When she heard about this, she didn't have the time to discuss it with her elder son and just directly followed along.
When Old Lady Chen arrived at Lu Xinfei's parents' house, she didn't have the time to scold Lu Xinfei's family. When she saw that her son wasn't there, she immediately stomped on his feet and rushed into the department, crying and making a ruckus.
Lu Xinfei didn't expect Old Lady Chen to follow them. This incident seemed to have stirred up too much trouble. It was truly out of everyone's expectations.
Lu Xinfei was worried about Xiao Hu as she was afraid that he would freeze from starvation. Thus, she didn't care about the heavy wind and rain or the orange warning that the weather forecast continued to broadcast today as she walked home on foot.
A journey of fifty miles was not as simple as a breath of air. Using one's feet to measure the distance between each foot was definitely not a simple task.
Lu Xinfei was halfway there when it started to rain. Lu Xinfei did not have an umbrella at home, only a large raincoat. Lu Xinfei shrank her neck to completely block herself from the raincoat, just from her calves to her ankles. Due to the water seeping through the raincoat and the excessive amount of water on the road, Lu Xinfei's pants were completely soaked by the rain.
Lu Xinfei knew that when she suddenly thought of Xiao Hu in her subconscious mind, her heart ached. This was not something that came from her own thoughts at all, but because of the love complex between Lu Xinfei's beloved son and herself. This time, Lu Xinfei agreed with the original body because she herself also had the awareness to treat Xiao Hu well. To atone for his past life, also for the husband of his previous life, Lin Yuheng like children envy other people the dream of having children in their home.
It was already six in the evening when Lu Xinfei rushed home.
The summer was long and short, so it was very late. Normally, it was still bright during the day at 6 PM. Unfortunately, it was a thunderstorm and dark clouds pressed down on the land, causing the sky and earth to darken.
He stepped into the dilapidated house. Luckily, there was a light inside, but when Lu Xinfei looked up, she couldn't see the child.
"Rumble …" Another muffled thunder exploded on the rooftop, startling Lu Xinfei.
Fortunately, Lu Xinfei didn't encounter such a resounding thunder while she was rushing on her journey. Otherwise, she would have been scared.
He had clearly said that he wasn't afraid of death, but why was there still a lot of things that he would subconsciously be afraid of? Humans were truly strange animals.
Lu Xinfei took off her raincoat and hung it by the door frame.
In fact, even though Chen Dayong's village was living in the bottom of a ravine, in this era, it was not a poor village. The villagers had their own land, vegetables, houses, and recently supplied electricity, lighting up the houses so brightly that people in this era would think of it as brightly lit, a few thousand times better than the previous kerosene lamps.
In fact, they could even grow whatever they liked with their own crops. A few families, who were really tired of eating dried melons, coveted the delicacies of the corn and boldly planted the corn.
The elders would always say that those families didn't know how to live. They would say that in the past, they were already lucky if they didn't die from hunger. What would they eat then? Grass roots, bark, and even a bit of elm bark was like days of gods.
In the old society, all the reputable old men in the village had privileges. Whoever's son was not filial to the old man, who's wife stole men, whose wife was disrespectful to their in-laws all happened, and any reputable old man could order the strong young man to beat these scum to death anytime and anywhere. However, things were different now. Times had changed, and it was now a legal society. The words of the ancestors were no longer an imperial edict.
The three rooms in Chen Dayong's house were newly built in 1970. There was a short space with dark yellow walls. There was a fire brick bed on one side of the house and a messy kitchen was in the middle of the room.
There were no proper cupboards in the kitchen, only a small, low, jujube chest of drawers, which was the work of a carpenter in the village named Wudley.
In the two months that Lu Xinfei had been here, she had often heard her neighbors' young Zhang Yan say to her, "Elder sister, your house is one of the best in the village. It's all thanks to your father-in-law; his driving a carriage is really good …"
Zhang Yan's husband's name was Tang Liuzi, and the old lady surnamed Tang was much more shrewd than Lu Xinfei's father-in-law. Ever since Zhang Yan gave birth to her daughter, her parents-in-law didn't like her at all and had ordered her around like a donkey.
Of course, she did not order Zhang Yan around like a donkey from the start. In the beginning, the Tang Clan and Zhang Yan's family wasn't that good and the two families were on par with each other, so the old lady did not dare to be too arrogant.
It was only after seven years of peace and happiness that Mrs. Tang started to find Zhang Yan's fault for not having a son. Of course, the reason was because Tang Liuzi, Zhang Yan's husband, had studied in high school and could now go to work in the town.
Lu Xinfei could not bear to see this, so she often tried to persuade the old woman. Lu Xinfei imitated the words of the other old men and said, "Eldest sister-in-law, since your son is married to Yanzi, it is only natural that they will grow old together." Think about it, you are so exhausted that your son has to serve her every day. That's not worth it! "Moreover, if you let your daughter-in-law raise her body like a stick, she can also add more to the Tang Clan in the future."
However, when Tang Xiu heard this, he stabbed his cane fiercely into the ground and shouted with his teeth bared, "You youngsters, ever since you've had a good life, you've all gone against the rules." He was too lazy to move around normally. When the grass grew to the knees, he would pick it up with a hoe. In our era, even the north wind was still free every day. Do you think it would be tiring to work here? "Didn't you see that wherever you lazy and covetous people go, people will poke at their backs? The village winds have all been defeated by you guys …"
He was not afraid of not knowing what was good for him, but he was also afraid of comparing the goods with the people in the market. Only with comparison would he know who was good. Thus, Lu Xinfei admitted that her father-in-law was quite a good person. Lu Xinfei's elder sister-in-law and Lu Xinfei's mother-in-law were both honest and kind, and Lu Xinfei's elder sister-in-law treated them very well. Although Lu Xinfei's elder sister-in-law was the same as Lu Xinfei's mother-in-law, her father-in-law tried his best not to have any conflicts with her elder brother's daughter-in-law.
Lu Xinfei had taught herself to be more contented. Although this small earthen room had become a rarity in 2015, he had come here in 1979. He could no longer use the old standard to measure everything.
Lu Xinfei looked up at the rainwater seeping out of the corner of the wall, then looked at the dried seeds that had been left in the sack by the stove. Lu Xinfei sighed.
However, looking at the pot on the stove, Lu Xinfei guessed that Chen Dayong hadn't cooked for several days.
At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, it had been raining. If he didn't burn the fire, he wouldn't be able to lie on the brick bed anymore. He didn't know if Xiao Hu was cold or not.
"Xiao Hu, where did Xiao Hu go?" "Mom is back!" Lu Xinfei was shouting at the top of her lungs. It had been a long time since they last met, so she really missed this child.
When Lu Xinfei first came here, she hated Xiao Hu quite a lot. A ten-year old child was too mischievous and could not be idle for even a moment. A ten-year old child didn't know how to clean himself up. Every day, he would get dirty and deal with the mud.
Lu Xinfei hated the mud games that the children played because the children made it dirty and then climbed onto the brick bed, staining a big piece of the bed.
Of course, there weren't any good bedding in the house. It was patched up and the color was unsightly to the eye, but Lu Xinfei still wanted it to be as clean as possible.
Xiao Hu's stinky feet were very similar to Chen Dayong's. Every time the family gathered together for a meal, the breath of the father and son could really suffocate people. Lu Xinfei had to personally get hot water to wash Xiao Hu's feet, but she was always scolded by Chen Dayong.
Chen Dayong also felt that Lu Xinfei seemed to have changed. This woman always frowned and disliked others, and the service of others was not enough to support her.
Perhaps for people without feelings to live together, they also needed to have a good time. Just like now, Lu Xinfei would no longer frown so much that she would no longer feel that this life was impossible. It seemed that a person's ability to adapt was much stronger than usual.
The original habit of bathing once or twice a day for two days in the year 2015 to wash one's teeth and wash one's feet twice a day really couldn't be implemented. It was difficult to use water here, and there were no baths or taps here.
