Chapter 144 Just Bow
Yu Xueli's adobe house was not big, with a total of two rooms and a low kitchen. Even the courtyard wall had not been built yet. The thatch used to build the house was still the sorghum stalks used in the village during the autumn harvest. Led by Lu Debang, Zhang Hongfa and Guo Xiuqin, there were many people who helped build the house. Everyone had a hard time. Some gave money in advance, and those who didn't gave some things that they didn't need at home.
A bowl with a broken edge, two pairs of unused chopsticks, a few old loofahs, and a bag of dried wild vegetables, all put together, I can finally make a living.
Half a month later, Yu Xueli was discharged from the hospital and moved into an adobe house that had not yet been dried. There were two quilts with holes in them and a kang cabinet that Guo Xiuqin had snatched from Laizi's house. Apart from these, there was no other decent furniture in the house.
The villagers had to clean up the manure pits so that they could add fertilizer for next spring planting. Plus, it was almost the New Year and everyone was busy with their own things, so no one knew she had been discharged from the hospital.
When Uncle Guai left, he quietly put fifty cents in Xiaoya's clothes pocket. When they separated, they gave a lot of things to Huang Maochun and Lu Xingchang, and they were very short of money. Lu Xiangxiang had already given them money before, but when he saw Yu Xueli carrying two children and covered in injuries, he felt really pitiful. This was the best he could do.
Yu Xueli looked at her new home. She felt like she had survived a disaster and held her two children tightly in her hands.
"Big girl, little girl, this is our home from now on. I will work hard to earn work points and support you. We won't have to suffer anymore. You must remember that the folks in Lujia Village are our benefactors. I will take you to thank them today. I will thank them from house to house. Okay?"
"Mom, my sister and I will go with you. I will kowtow to them and thank them, Mom."
The little girl is timid. She is young and doesn't understand many things. Plus, she was often beaten and scolded when she was at the Xu family. She is obviously not used to having suffered so much during this period. But she is also sensible and she does whatever her mother and sister ask her to do.
At noon, Lu Zhenping was cooking in the kitchen. Shen Meng and Lu Mingkai were sitting at the door of the main room to bask in the sun. With slightly squinted eyes, she saw Yu Xueli coming to her door holding a child in each hand. The two looked at each other for a moment.
With a "thump", the mother, her two daughters, all knelt down. This frightened Shen Meng so much that she stood up quickly.
"Mother Daya, what are you doing? How can you kneel at my door with your child?"
Shen Meng's scream attracted Lu Zhenping who was cooking in the kitchen. He was holding a kitchen knife in his hand. When he saw Shen Meng running out in a hurry, he was also startled.
"what happened?"
After Shen Meng ran away, Lu Mingkai also opened his eyes and ran out with his little legs, saying to his father, "Kneel down."
Shen Meng helped Yu Xueli up and patted her trouser legs.
"What are you doing?"
"Mother Mingyang, Father Mingyang, I brought my two children here to thank you. Thank you for letting the three of us escape from the sea of suffering. We will remember this great kindness for the rest of our lives."
Lu Zhenping didn't say anything. Once, in order to help her clear up the rumors, Zhao Wei almost got into a fight with a group of people and made a big mistake. It was Yu Xueli who came to him and threatened to die before asking him to bring the person back to the army. Some things are hard to explain, especially in the countryside. The countryside has its own rules and they cannot escape them.
Lu Zhenping felt guilty towards her. The incident was so serious at that time. For Zhao Wei's future and Yu Xueli's future life, he had no choice but to take her away.
"Live a good life in the future, and come to us if you have any difficulties." "Hey!"
Shen Meng patted her hands and said, "If you really want to thank everyone, just bow with the children. You don't have to kneel down. Da Ya and Xiao Ya are both girls. Although they are still young, you have to consider the children's face. We are all villagers, and everyone can understand and sympathize."
No one would not sympathize with the weak, especially this weak person who is very grateful. She can foresee how the villagers will teach the Laizi family a lesson if they dare to cause trouble in the future.
Yu Xueli nodded heavily with red eyes, and took Daya and Xiaoya to another house. No matter who gave money or things, or who helped to speak, she took the children to bow to them. At noon, almost every family in the village was included.
The next day.
Shen Meng, Xie Jinghao, Wang Lianhua and Xifeng came to see her, each bringing things they had prepared for her. Daya was very sensible and helped to welcome them in. After the people sat on the kang, she just stood there helplessly, pinching the corner of her clothes.
"Aunt, aunt, I, I don't have a home and no hot water to drink, I'm sorry."
Not to mention hot water, there wasn't even a bucket at home. Yesterday and today, the three of them ate sitting on the kang, and there wasn't even a kang table.
"It's okay, Daya, I just came to see your mother. I just drank hot water at home and came here. I'm not thirsty!" After saying this, Xifeng pulled Daya to her side and touched her hair with heartache.
"I'm so sorry. You see, I don't even have hot water at home when you come here. Oh, Jinghao is here. I'll take you home and tell Jiasheng to help me make a kang table, a square table, and four wooden benches. I'll pay the deposit later."
Xie Jinghao waved her hand and placed the five pounds of corn flour she had brought on her kang.
"That's easy. There's no rush to pay the deposit. Jiasheng is making furniture in the production team, and most of the money has to be paid to the production team. It won't be too late to pay him after he finishes the work. My family has just separated, and there's not much food at home. I brought you five kilograms of corn flour. Eat it first. In half a month, you'll be able to get some food. If it's not enough, you can borrow some from the production team. You can always make a living."
"That won't do. You have two children at home. How can I ask you for so many things? Everyone has been very supportive of the three of us."
Xie Jinghao held her hand to prevent her from refusing, and Shen Meng also took out the things she had brought.
"These are Mingfang and Mingkai's old clothes. I packed them up. Don't be disgusted. They are about the same size as Da Ya and Xiao Ya, so they should be able to wear them. There are also brown sugar and bacon, and some rice. It's not much, but it will last for a while."
The food in Shen Meng's space is about to be exhausted, but she can't just give so much to Yu Xueli. She has to live her life by herself, and if she relies on others, she will become dependent. She is not such a kind-hearted person.
"No, no, thank you so much. If it were anything else, I wouldn't want it, but Daya and Xiaoya followed me out. They didn't bring any needle or thread with them from the Xu family. But you can take this rice back. Jinghao can give me some corn flour. I'm already very nervous. I absolutely cannot accept this white rice."
"Take it, why not? Her family lives a good life, and will be even better in the future. If you don't take it, I will take it away." Xifeng said this to Yu Xueli, and pretended that she was really going to take the bag of grain away.
