Chapter 289 Everything is Difficult 2
While digging potatoes, grandma said, "Yueyue, remember to bring a backpack next time you come. If grandma has vegetables and food here, it will be convenient for you to take some back."
"This time, I came because my aunt was not at home, so Yueyue was not polite to grandma. If I come next time, grandma should not give Yueyue so many things."
"Yueyue, as long as grandparents can live one more day, we can give you whatever we want, and Yueyue doesn't need to worry about her so much!"
"That being said, if a family is at odds, it will only make others laugh at them."
Speaking of your aunt Wei, my grandmother could not help but frown and said with disgust: "It is really unfortunate for our family. It was a sin to marry such a beast. If she hadn't been pregnant last year, your uncle would have divorced her long ago!"
As my grandmother spoke, she dug potatoes and before she knew it she had dug a pile.
Then, the grandfather and grandson squatted in the ditch together and picked the potatoes one by one into the basket.
While picking potatoes, my grandmother said, "To be honest, after the Chinese New Year, when I saw you and Nian Nian returning to the An family, it really hurt my heart."
"Especially when I heard from your grandfather and uncle that your old house had been burned down, your grandmother regretted it so much at that time."
"I was thinking, if anything happened to you and Nian Nian, how would our family cope with it? How would we explain to your deceased parents?"
At this time, the grandmother spoke with regret, hatred and helplessness, raising her arm to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Grandma, Yueyue has never blamed you, grandpa, and uncle. Besides, the past is over, and mentioning it again will only increase the sadness." An Yue comforted her grandmother Zheng.
"Yes, yes, Yueyue is right. But if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you must remember to come to your grandparents. Your grandparents will always be Yueyue's retreat." Grandma said with a choking voice.
An Yue understood her grandparents' feelings very well. After all, it is difficult to have both in life and in reality.
The grandparents quickly finished picking all the potatoes. An Yue carried the hoe and her grandmother carried the basket as they walked back home.
……
When she got home, my grandmother found a small backpack, wrapped the two rabbits in banana leaves, placed them at the bottom of the basket, and then put potatoes on top of the rabbits.
An Yue watched her grandmother stuffing potatoes into the backpack. She stopped her and said, "Grandma, if you put more, you won't be able to carry it."
"It's a drought now, and there might be a famine at any time. Take these ground eggs home and eat them slowly."
An Yue said with a smile: "Grandma, Yueyue also has this, but now it is only the size of an egg."
"Carry them all back! It's still early now, we can walk and stop every month, and we will be home in no time."
Grandfather said, "It's so hot, you're carrying so much for the child, don't let him get tired."
When my grandmother heard what my grandfather said, she looked up at the sky again.
She scratched her head and thought for a moment, then bent down and picked up a few potatoes from the ground, saying, "That's right, I must not get tired!"
As she was picking up the eggs, my grandmother said, "After a while, when all the eggs are brought home, your grandfather and I will carry more eggs for you."
"Well, okay, grandparents can come anytime, there's always someone at home."
After wasting time going back and forth, it was already the end of the afternoon.
When Uncle Jiang Chenghai heard that An Yue was going home, he quickly climbed out of the well to see her off.
Her grandparents and uncle Jiang Chenghai sent An Yue to the entrance of Pingxiang Village, and An Yue took the backpack from her uncle's back.
He put the backpack on his back and said, "Grandpa, grandma, uncle, Yueyue is going home soon, please take care of yourself."
The three of them waved to An Yue reluctantly and watched her walk away.
An Yue walked with the backpack on her back, and she chose to take a shortcut back.
After all, there are many jungles along the trail and it is cooler.
She walked towards Baili Village, thinking about the floral water business as she walked.
There is no strong liquor to be bought in the town now, and the remaining toilet water at home is only enough for one trip to the county town.
She couldn't help but sigh to herself, "I finally figured out how to do business, but now I'm hit by a drought. It's like a rope breaks at the thinnest part, and misfortune only strikes at the unfortunate."
After a moment of emotion, An Yue simply stopped thinking about the toilet water. After all, everything was determined by the general trend.
I can only think about delivering herbs first. Now the pharmacy in town is short of herbs, so delivering herbs is the top priority.
If the town's pharmacy runs out of medicinal materials, it means that patients cannot receive medical treatment.
In this severe drought, we cannot do without medicinal materials. If there is another plague, it will be like hell on earth.
An Yue thought about it and realized that with the scorching sun now, the medicinal herbs would be dry in just one day.
She planned to ask her family to dig some dandelions and find some mugwort tomorrow.
The herbs will be delivered to all the shops in the town the day after tomorrow.
I was thinking about this all the way and before I knew it I had been walking on the road for nearly half an hour.
An Yue returned to the gate of her yard.
She raised her hand and knocked on the door, calling out, "Sister-in-law?"
Ba Shi heard An Yue's voice in the yard and barked excitedly.
Meng Xiuer was threshing wheat grains in the ear room when she heard Bashi shouting in the yard and realized that An Yue had returned.
So, he walked out of the east wing quickly, and responded as he walked: "I am coming."
An Yue entered the yard and quickly put the backpack in the kitchen.
Then he said to his sister-in-law Meng Xiuer, "Sister-in-law, pick up the potatoes in the basket. There are two killed rabbits at the bottom of the basket. Sister-in-law, take them out and clean them."
After saying that, An Yue quickly ran to the main hall to drink water.
After rushing all the way back, I was so hot that I was almost smoking.
She sat down in the main hall, poured a bowl of water and drank it.
At this time, Ba Shi was lying under the eaves looking at Anyue. After drinking the water, Anyue looked at the herbs drying in the yard.
She took the bamboo rake to the yard again and turned over the herbs that were drying in the sun.
Then, he took the wooden basin on the bluestone slab and went to the kitchen to fetch water for washing his face.
Entering the kitchen, An Yue asked, "Sister-in-law, have Chunzhi and the others dug herbs?"
"Yes! They didn't take a nap today. After lunch, the three of them went out with their backpacks on their backs."
An Yue smiled and sighed, "Ah! They really value money over their lives."
Meng Xiuer stood aside and washed the rabbits. She smiled and said, "Yueyue, when I first came to this family, I was confused as to why you were so kind to them. Now I finally understand."
An Yue wiped her face, turned her head and asked, "Oh? What did sister-in-law understand?"
"You are so good to them, so naturally the three of them will be devoted to you."
After Meng Xiuer finished speaking, the smile on her face began to gradually disappear.
