Chapter 20: Sour vegetables

In early winter, the weather became cooler and the leaves were about to fall, and the people in the mountains also wore thick clothes.

After the harvest of the year was sold, every household started buying cabbage and sauerkraut, preparing to enter the winter

Widow Chen's house has a cabbage field. It has just been packed these days. I have kept some at home. The rest are planned to be sold in the town.

Widow Chen's body has improved a little, and she can walk slowly in the ground. Although it still hurts a little, it has no big impact on her daily life.

Meilian helped her a lot during this period. Widow Chen gave her two baskets of cabbage to express her delights

Meilian refused but had to accept it and prepared to buy some salt to get the vegetables.

Before the two of them could reach the convenience store, Lao Yan happened to pass by in a tractor

Brother Yan, where are you going? Meilian stepped forward and said hello

Help Hougou pull cabbage! Lao Yan stopped the car and started chatting enthusiastically

Speaking of the cabbage, Widow Chen hurriedly asked Lao Yan: Did you buy cabbage at home?

Not yet, I'll be buying it these days!

Oh, don’t buy it! Widow Chen clapped her hands: I have many at home, I just finished collecting it, so you can take it back!

Lao Yan said nothing and said: Then I will buy your food at the price!

No, you can't give money! Widow Chen grabbed Lao Yan: I thank you for your help when I went to the hospital last time. I haven't given you medical expenses yet. I thank you for this little cabbage. You have to accept whatever you say!

Lao Yan couldn't resist her, so he had to agree

Widow Chen pulled Lao Yan into the car: Go directly to my house to pick up food! Meilian also went to help

Lao Yan drove a tractor to Widow Chen's house, and Da Niu also came out to help, loading a truck full of cabbage.

Lao Yan thanked him and was about to leave. Widow Chen pulled Meilian and Daniu and went with him: Don’t you still have to go out to work? We will help you accumulate the dishes. With such a car of dishes, you will have to work hard for a day!

Several people drove a tractor to Lao Yan's house. Just as they entered the yard to unload the truck, a big girl came out of the door, with a round face and big watery eyes, very energetic, wearing a floral clothes, exuding the spirit of a lady from a family.

Dad, what are you doing?

The Chen family of Team 7, look at it, I gave us these old cabbages! Lao Yan smiled and said to his daughter.

This girl is Lao Yan's daughter Shunya, one year older than Da Niu

Shunya walked over, her steps were very small, she walked very slowly, and she was a little confused. Widow Chen looked a little strange.

Lao Yan briefly introduced to several people. Widow Chen hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Shunya's hand: Duojun's girl looks so good! What's wrong with your legs? I think it's not smooth to walk, so you're twisting?

My daughter's legs and feet are not very good, she is a young girl... Lao Yan explained

Shunya is born with nerve dysplasia in the lower limbs, her legs are slightly bent, she walks bumpy, and she has to rest after walking a few steps, otherwise it hurts badly

The day when Widow Chen went to the hospital, Shunya was taking a nap, but she didn't see it when she came.

After hearing Lao Yan's words, Widow Chen and Meilian both felt pitiful.

Widow Chen felt even more regretful. She looked very good at Shunya and was thinking about whether she could be a wife for Daniu in the future, but the problem with her legs was really difficult.

Shunya smiled and said: It’s okay, do some daily work without delay! Come into the house quickly, don’t stand, I’ll pour water for you!

Meilian hurriedly said: No, let’s unload the vegetables quickly and prepare the stored vegetables! Big beef, help unload the truck!

Daniu looked at Shunya in a daze. Meilian called out twice before she realized that she helped to remove the vegetables.

Lao Yan drove the tractor to the back ditch to help others work, and the remaining few people started to work hard.

Daniu built a stove in the yard, brought firewood to make a fire, and prepared to boil water

Meilian took a kitchen knife and started to peel cabbage. Widow Chen helped Shunya clean up the sauerkraut jar, chatting about family matters while busy.

Auntie, I'm so sorry, please do these jobs...

It's okay, your father helped us a lot last time, so take care of each other! You guys are the only ones in this room, why didn't you see your mother? Widow Chen asked

Shunya showed a trace of sorrow on her face and sighed: My father and mother have been divorced for many years...

Widow Chen was very surprised. Unexpectedly, Shunya didn't have a mother: So, why... is it for?

Shunya frowned: My mother... In the first few years, she went to the city to work, so she found a rich man outside, divorced her father, and went with her...

Your mother is too... After hearing Shunya's words, Widow Chen was a little angry. She was about to scold Shunya's mother, but she hurriedly shut up: Then, your mother doesn't even want you?

Shunya lowered her head and didn't say anything. When she thought of her cruel mother, she felt angry and aggrieved.

What a girl, I've suffered... Widow Chen touched Shunya's head, feeling very distressed

Shunya raised her head and smiled and said: It's nothing. It's been so long. My father has been taking me with me in recent years. I have planted a melon field at home and there are a few big fat pigs in the backyard! Although I have bad legs, I am skillful. I usually make beads and hang flowers in the seams and weaving soil baskets. I can also make some money for my father!

Really? She is still a skillful girl! I will tell you, I will also be able to weave baskets! Haha! The two of them say one by one, and in a while, they almost look like a family

The water is ready! The big beef rack boiled with water. Meilian carried the peeled cabbage and blanched it a few times. The big beef took out the vegetables and accumulated them in the vegetable jar.

Shunya brought a bag of large grains of salt and poured salt with Widow Chen while pressing the tank. Several people were busy working hard.

It's easy to work with more people. It takes less than half a day to accumulate a large jar of pickled vegetables.

Shunya fetched a basin of water for a few people to wash it briefly, and said that they would leave it for dinner.

No, there are two baskets of vegetables at home, I have to go back to work. Meilian is leaving

After a while, Widow Chen had already been interested in Shunya and wanted to stay with her: Didn’t you say you can do manual work? Let me see, can you help you! After talking for a long time, Daniu and Meilian went home to work, Widow Chen stayed at Lao Yan’s house to accompany Shunya

Lao Yan's family is still a mud house, with only one inner room, the walls and roofs are pasted with newspapers, and some places have big holes.

The kang was very warm. Widow Chen and Shunya sat on the kang and weaving flower baskets with willow branches, and the parents talked nonstop.

Lao Yan hurriedly talked for a day and came back after a while. As soon as he entered the room, he saw the two people on the kang: Oh, they were chatting enthusiastically! Look at what I got back!

Shunya saw that her father was carrying a big pheasant in his hand: Where did it come from? It’s quite expensive, right?

Hehe, I didn’t buy it. I gave it to someone for a day of work, but I gave it to me! Your Aunt Chen is here, so I cleaned up and stewed it and tasted the game! Lao Yan was tired for a day, but he was happy.

Widow Chen was embarrassed and hurriedly wanted to go home. The father and the other two refused to let him go: I must eat this meal here today! Widow Chen was not good enough to refuse: OK, I'll get you pheasant!

Shunya was cooking in the house, Lao Yan washed his hair in the yard, and Widow Chen started chatting with him while packing the chicken. As she chatted, she talked about Lao Yan's wife

Shunya told me that you have suffered a lot of hardships by taking her alone over the years, and it is really not easy for you

I have no ability, I can't even build a good house, and the girl's legs cannot be cured, so I'm exhausted... Lao Yan sighed

I think you are the duty person, and you will pull your child up by yourself, that is what you are capable of! Widow Chen feels that Lao Yan is responsible

I had no other thoughts, so I just hoped that Shunya would find a good family to marry her. My worries would be fine...

Widow Chen lowered her head and thought for a while, and asked again: Haven’t you ever thought about finding another one in the past few years?

Why didn't I think about it? I've been looking for it in the first few years, but I see that I'm not good at taking care of a girl. Who would like to do it? Even if I'm willing, can I treat Shunya well in the future? I'm not at ease! That's it... Listening to Lao Yan's words, Widow Chen felt a little sympathy for him

After packing up the pheasant and preparing to put it in the pot, Shunya said she wanted to buy two bottles of wine to satisfy her father's cravings.

Originally, the store at the intersection was just a few steps away. Shunya stepped forward and found that she had closed the door when she reached the ground. She had to walk in Hougou for five or six minutes. Shunya gritted her teeth and walked to the store in Hougou.

Fortunately, the road was quite flat, so Shunya struggled to move her feet step by step, rested, and walked for more than ten minutes before she arrived.

I bought two bottles of wine, tied up a bundle of onions, and packed a bag of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. On the way back, Shunya felt her legs hurt more and more. After walking a few steps, she stopped and rested on the stump on the side of the road.

It happened that the big bull came over. After a while, Widow Chen had not yet returned home. The big bull came over to take a look.

It's you, why are you here? Daniu saw that it was the girl from Uncle Yan's house and came over to ask

It's a big bull. I went to the store and walked a few steps and my legs hurt a little. I took a break for a while. Shunya is a little embarrassed.

Have you bought a bag? Daniu brought the things over: It's quite heavy. If you buy such things, you have bad legs and feet. I'll help you carry them!

The big bull helped Shunya walk back. After just two steps, it hurt and numb: No, I still have to take a break! Shunya sat on the side of the road, scolding herself in her heart: Unscrupulous legs!

Big Niu looked at it with a distressed heart, but didn't know what to say, squatted down and said to Shunya: It's dark again! Come on, I'll carry you! As he said that, Shunya was carrying it on her body at once.

Alas! Before Shunya could react, she was already being carried by the big bull, and her body was tightly pressed against the big bull's back, and her face turned red: There is also a bag!

Big bull picked up the bag and handed it to Shunya: You carry it! Get up and strode home

The big bull felt two lumps of hot meat rubbing against him on his back, and his hands tightly tied Shunya's thighs. The meat was very good, his heart was pounding, and he felt very uncomfortable.

This was the first time Shunya was carried by a boy, and her face was so shy that she was red, thanks to the big bull's invisibility!

After walking several steps, Shunya finally spoke: Big Niu, are you tired? Don’t take a break? As she spoke, Shunya felt that her little heart was about to jump out.

Not tired! You are not heavy at all, so you can help me carry the bag, it's much lighter! Big Niu said with a smile

Shunya laughed: I was holding the bag and pressing it against you, why didn’t it sink? Haha!

The big bull reacted and smiled embarrassedly: Hehe, I didn’t react, haha!

The atmosphere of the two of them was much more relaxed, and Shunya was no longer so nervous: Big Niu, you are in such a good health and you are so energetic!

That's it! I've been energetic since I was a child, and I'll do all the work at home! Girl, if you don't have to do anything in the future, I'll help you! The big bull's neck was gently hugged by Shunya, feeling Shunya gasping in her ear, feeling happy in her heart

OK! I'll look for you if you have something to do! Hey, who do you mean by a girl? Dad said I'm one year older than you, you have to call me sister! Shunya and Daniu were jokingly, and slowly felt that they were no longer shy

Who said? You are not as tall as me, not as strong as me, and not as strong as me, why are you just my sister? Big Bull is not convinced

The two of them said one by one, and soon they arrived home. The food was ready. Lao Yan and Widow Chen were worried that Shunya hadn't returned for so long. When they saw the big bull back, they were relieved after they got to know each other. The father and daughter kept the big bull for dinner together.

At the dinner table, Shunya put the wine bowl in front of her father. Lao Yan asked with a smile: Oh, what's wrong? He always looks at his father. He doesn't smoke and drink, why are he showing compassion today? Is it a festival?

I was busy for the first time, and the melons at home were sold almost the same. It seems that you are so tired, I will satisfy your cravings!

Shunya smiled and poured a bowl for her father. Lao Yan took a sip. Just a mouthful: My daughter is good! Haha!

Several people were having a meal while talking and laughing, and the two families thanked each other and drank a lot of wine.

Widow Chen's face was rosy and she gave Lao Yan several bowls of respect.

Shunya, it’s not easy for your father to take you, you should also give him a bowl! Widow Chen held Shunya’s hand and said

Yes! Dad, I have suffered a lot from raising this family, and my daughter respects you! Shunya poured a bowl for my father, and Lao Yan was happy: Good daughter, Daddy! I drank a big bowl in one sip...

After drinking and eating, Widow Chen and his mother walked home before dark. Shunya cleaned up the dining table and boiled a large pot of hot water to let their father take a good bath to relieve their fatigue.

Although he is busy all day long, he has a daughter who cleans up the house and Lao Yan doesn't feel tired at all.

Take off your clothes and sit in the bathtub. The hot bath water makes your pores open, relaxing and comfortable

Shunya lifted the curtain and came in: Dad, I'll rub your back!

Lao Yan was lying on the edge of the basin with his daughter on his back, feeling his daughter's hand back and forth: Girl, your strength is getting stronger and stronger, unlike when you were a child, rubbing it like tickling, hehe!

That's right, my daughter has grown up! I will pinch you and make sure it's more comfortable! Shunya used her strength to pinch the shoulders and massage the back of Lao Yan. She looked at her father's thin but strong spine, and her skin was rough and dark, and her heart was a little sour.

How about it, can you relieve your fatigue? Shunya asked with her head tilted

Always enjoy it! My daughter is so good! Don’t pinch it anymore, don’t be tired. Lao Yan feels very comfortable and is worried that his daughter will be tired.

It's okay, what's this? Dad is tired when he is busy all day long. My daughter will let you relieve your fatigue.

No matter how tired your daughter is, it's worth it! Alas, my father doesn't have much ability, and he can't cure your legs. Since he divorced your mother, the family has been in a difficult situation. I haven't even finished studying for you, so I've just suffered. Lao Yan reached out and touched his daughter's hand, which was a little sad.

Why did I say this again? It’s not very comfortable now. I just follow my father and our family will get better and better!

It’s not okay to follow your father. It’s time to find a family for you! Haha!

Shunya was a little shy and pinched Lao Yan's back: Let me tell you again!

Ouch! Hahaha! Lao Yan looked at his daughter with a smile. His red face became more and more handsome. His white arms were tender, and his chest was as swaying as those girls in the village: Hehe! My girl is the best, I can definitely find a good family!

After taking a shower, Lao Yan felt comfortable all over

There is only an inner room at home. Shunya asked her father to sleep on the kang, her body was so hot that she slept on the kang by herself.

I woke up in a daze at night and wanted to pee. Shunya heard a rustling sound from the other side of the kang. I listened carefully: Dad is doing it again...

Although Lao Yan is not strong, his body is very strong. He is still very strong in his forties. He can stroke his own few times every few days.

I was busy collecting the melons for several days a while ago, and finally I took a rest and took a rest.

I drank some wine at the dinner table. Seeing that Widow Chen was very feminine, my daughter bathed herself again, which made Lao Yan feel itchy.

I couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, and my body was so hot that I thought about it. The piece of flesh under my crotch became hard

Seeing that my daughter was asleep, she started rubbing herself, and the more she rubbed her, she became more and more intense, and closed her eyes and slapped hard!

My daughter discovered this more than once, but she never broke it

Shunya is about to be twenty. Although she has never experienced this, she understands a lot.

My father and mother have been divorced for many years and have never looked for them again. How can a good man not think about that?

I felt scary when I heard it the first few times. I slowly understood my father. Not only did I not feel disgusted, but I felt pitiful: Dad is so miserable... Shunya kept her back and didn't move, wanting her father to be comfortable and comfortable, for fear of making a sound that shocked her father. Her face turned red with shame, but she was very happy in her heart...
