Chapter 18: Bad memory, always feel like I forgot something

“I know, where are your aunts?” Shen Weiguo didn’t say he was going home, he asked where they were. “They’re in front of the bus stop.” Guessing what he was going to do, He Wanqing pointed to where they were. “I’ll go take a look, you and your sister-in-law take it slow.” After getting the location, Shen Weiguo lifted his bicycle, turned around, told the two of them, and then rode away like a whirlwind. “Sister-in-law, do you think my mom and Little Aunt will get scolded?”  Looking at the figure that had disappeared in a flash, she silently asked Xu Chun beside her.

“I don’t know, but Little Aunt should be sent to the hospital.” Shrugging, Xu Chun said decisively. Xu Chun knew her husband’s skills. She looked up at her cousin-in-law, who still had the same expression as when they first met, and she smiled. “Little sister, what are you laughing at?” Xu Chun liked this cousin-in-law very much. Whether it was helping her take care of the children or helping her deal with the mother-in-law relationship, Xu Chun felt that she could have more cousins-in-law like this. “Nothing!” She couldn’t say that she was happy to see her carefree look.

 Thinking about everything in her previous life, she always felt like she was a cannon fodder character in those novels. Their He family, and her maternal family, the Shen family, were just cannon fodder, while the heroine was He Cao. And she wasn’t just cannon fodder, she was also He Cao’s control group, often being compared to her by the villagers. After all, Xu Weijun was the best marriage candidate in the village besides her brothers, and she married him, but her life got worse and worse because of her jinx constitution. While He Cao, who married silently at the beginning and was a widow, got better and better, and finally became a famous entrepreneur?

 The more He Wanqing thought about it, the more she felt like cannon fodder, she looked at Xu Chun: “Sister-in-law, what did you say? I didn’t hear clearly, can you say it again?” Looking at her cousin-in-law who was lost in thought, Xu Chun reached out and touched her forehead: “You don’t have a fever, do you? Why are you spacing out while talking?” “Sister-in-law~” She took a step back, letting go of her hand, and then looked at her speechlessly. She wasn’t a child, she would know if she was sick, wouldn’t she? “I know, I won’t say it.

 Alright, get down, I’ll ride, let’s go see your mom and them.” She held the handlebars and asked her to sit in the back, not thinking to let her ride it. “Okay!” She let go of the handlebars, handed over the position, sat in the back, and enjoyed her sister-in-law’s care. After making sure she was seated properly, Xu Chun rode the bicycle to catch up with Shen Weiguo who had left. As soon as they turned a corner, they saw Shen Weimin, who should have already gone home, riding his bicycle around the corner towards them.

Seeing this, the three of them chatted for a while, and finally, Shen Weimin rode his bicycle with He Wanqing to go home first, while Xu Chun rode her bicycle to find Shen Weiguo. Looking at Xu Chun, who was pedaling hard, He Wanqing, who was sitting behind Shen Weimin, swung her legs while talking to him. Because the country road was too bumpy, she reached out and put her arms around his waist. Because of this delay, by the time the two of them were on the road back to the village, the moon was already hanging on the treetops, and the sky had completely darkened.

Feeling the evening wind hitting her body, He Wanqing, who was only wearing a short-sleeved, three-quarter-length pants, rubbed her arms while leaning against his back to avoid the wind, but her eyes were looking at the sides of the road and behind her. Her home was in Hejia Brigade, Lihua Commune, Fengshan County, Changyin City, the northern part of Xia Country. It was located at the junction of three provinces, but it was still very far from the coast, about 500 miles away, and that didn’t include several mountain ranges. There were ten brigades under Lihua Commune, and their brigade was the second closest to the commune, it took about an hour to walk to the commune.

The closest one was Jiangjia Brigade, which was not far from the commune. Hejia Brigade was built along the mountain range, with two other brigades on either side, the three brigades just surrounded the mountain range that belonged to their area. There were over 100 households in Hejia Brigade, of which about 60 were native to Hejia. The rest were those who had fled here during the war, and after they multiplied and thrived here, their numbers gradually increased.

 The largest were the Xu family and the Wu family, the rest of the families were not many, like the Shen family, one or two households. But these were all large families with several generations living together and not having divided their families, if they all divided their families, Hejia Brigade would have at least a few dozen more households. Hejia Brigade was the brigade with the most land in this area, about 300 to 500 mu. They mainly planted wheat, corn, soybeans, sweet potatoes, and sorghum. The brigade also planted peanuts and rapeseed in the corners.

 They also planted rice, but not much. Now, cold-resistant rice is planted less, and each brigade here only has about 50 mu, they dare not plant it on a large scale. But every family doesn’t lack anything to eat, because their private plots and homesteads are large, so every family plants food. Besides, they also have a natural granary, the back mountain, every year, diligent families go to the back mountain to pick mountain goods, if they can’t finish eating at home, they can exchange them for money at the commune.

So their Hejia Brigade, including the Wangjia Brigade and Liu Jibay  on either side, as long as they were not lazy, they could still live a good life. Thinking about the treasures in the back mountain, she decided to go get them back in the next two days, so that others wouldn’t get them for free. Suddenly, Shen Weimin, who was riding his bicycle, stopped. “What’s wrong, Third brother?” He Wanqing, who was admiring the night view of her hometown, was almost knocked off the bike by his sudden stop. “Someone in front is using a flashlight, looking at the figure, it looks like your Seventh brother and the others.” As soon as he finished speaking, a shout came from the front, making He Wanqing, who was sitting in the back, jump off the bike immediately.

“Seventh brother, I’m here.” She said, she had forgotten something, and sure enough, she had forgotten this. Thinking about why she went to the county, she hadn’t even told her mother, and seeing the figure running towards them, she closed her eyes. Forget it, it was her fault, she didn’t tell anyone, so let them nag. Seeing her expression, Shen Weimin was full of curiosity, and he responded to the people in front of them again. “Little sister, did you suffer some grievance at home today and sneak out?” Otherwise, why were there so many people in front of them?

 “No.” She waved her hand while answering him. “Then why are He Jialin and the others like this?” Listen to that voice, it’s even choked with tears, if he didn’t know she was standing here safe and sound, he would have cried and searched for her. Thinking about the Xu family’s matter, He Wanqing closed her eyes and told them everything, including why she came back now. “So, you went to the county to make a phone call and report it, and then you came back?

” “Yeah.” “You didn’t tell anyone at home?” “I didn’t have time?” She was at the commune at the time, she couldn’t go home to tell them, there were no cars to the county at that time. “Does He Cao really not care about anything?” “Not yet, let her be smug for a few days.” “I know, don’t forget to tell me if you need anything, your Third brother is still a bit useful!”
