Chapter 114 Jiang Wan's Home Visit
Yu Qingtang listened to Jin Guagua's instructions and quickened their pace with the two of them to find a cave to shelter from the rain.
The spring rain doesn't come quickly, but once it starts it will never stop.
The three of them stood at the entrance of the cave, looking at the dark blue sky, at a loss as to what to do.
Jiang Wan blamed herself: "I actually forgot to bring my raincoat."
Yun Shuangjiang has no experience and can only sigh for the rain.
There are many raincoats and umbrellas in Yu Qingtang’s space supermarket, but none of them are suitable to be taken out now.
The three of them sighed in unison: "Ah~"
Fortunately, the rain stopped at around four o'clock in the afternoon. The road down the mountain was muddy and slippery. Yu Qingtang led the way and Jiang Wan followed behind. The two of them finally got down the mountain smoothly with Yun Shuangjiang.
After returning home, they poured out the mushrooms from the nylon bags and found that many of the mushrooms at the bottom of the bags were rotten. That was caused by them dragging the bags down the mountain.
Yu Qingtang felt very distressed, so he picked and chose, washed and fried them all and stored them.
Yu Qingxu came back with a large pile of fir mushroom oil and asked, "How can we finish all this?"
Yu Qingtang: "This way it can be stored for a long time. Put it in a bottle and send some back to my family."
The Yu family would send daily necessities and seasonal clothes and shoes to the siblings every month. Yu Qingtang also wanted to send them something to show his gratitude.
Yu Qingxu naturally had nothing to say about this.
Yu Qingtang not only sent some to his family, but also gave some to people he had close relationships with, who wanted them to give some to him.
For example, his two next-door neighbors, Cheng Wuyang had always eaten with them since he took Yu Qingxu in, so he didn't have to send them off separately.
I gave Qin Qianqian a bottle, and Qin Qianqian gave Yu Qingtang a bottle of sunscreen in return.
"This was sent to me by my friend. He said it's imported and can protect me from the sun."
Yu Qingtang pretended not to understand the English words on it and happily accepted it.
Naturally, I had to send him off to Jiang Wan. Although Mrs. Jiang still had a stern face like the first time they met, her attitude was visibly much kinder than before.
She is now taking care of Jiang Wan, and her three sons cannot completely ignore her. They will give her some good things if they have any.
Old Mrs. Jiang found that her life had become more comfortable since she stopped taking care of her children and grandchildren.
Jiang Yuanyuan's home is right next to Old Lady Jiang's. Yu Qingtang gave Jiang Yuanyuan a bottle of milk and she hugged him and gave him a few milky kisses.
Yu Qingtang asked Xiao Fuwa to carry the things into the house and then turned and left. She still had to deliver them to her friend Xiao Zijing and her half-master Ji Baishu.
It was almost dark when we arrived at the cowshed. Those who were supposed to get off work had already finished, and each family was busy preparing dinner.
This place is close to the mountains, so Yu Qingtang didn't hide and called people directly.
Xiao Zijing was squatting in the stream below washing vegetables. When he heard Yu Qingtang calling him, he stood up and answered loudly.
"Sister Yu, I'm downstairs."
Yu Qingtang followed the path beside the stream and saw Xiao Zijing squatting by the stream with a big vegetable basket next to him.
He built a pool in front of him with stones and put the washed vegetables neatly into a basket.
"Sister Yu, wait for me a moment, I'll be done soon."
Yu Qingtang: "Don't worry, I'm here to bring you something delicious."
She walked over to Xiao Zijing and squatted down. The environment here was particularly good. The stream near the mountains flowed out from the deep mountains. There were no houses further in, and the stream water was very clean.
There were green leaves in the clear little pond. Yu Qingtang reached out and scooped one up.
The boiled leaves seem to be the freshest and most delicious delicacy in history.
"It's so refreshing to think about soaking cucumbers and watermelons in this water in the summer."
Xiao Zijing also wanted to eat watermelon: "But I don't have watermelon seeds."
"I've got a few for you. Plant them by the creek. There's lots of grass here so no one will notice them."
"Even if you are caught, just don't admit that you were the one who got hit."
Xiao Zijing looked confused: "Can watermelons grow even if you plant them randomly?"
Yu Qingtang: "I think so."
As long as I'm here, it will definitely work.
Xiao Zijing didn't hold much hope, but still wanted to give it a try.
"I have grown some watermelon seedlings at home. Come to my house tomorrow night and get them."
When I returned to the educated youth camp, Dong Yue was cooking and there was a fish in the pot. I asked curiously, "Where did this fish come from?"
Dong Yue: "Jiang Ping'an sent it, saying that his grandmother wanted to thank you for the fir oil you sent to their family."
Yu Qingtang was not surprised at all to hear that it was the Jiang family. Jiang Yuanyuan's grandmother was very knowledgeable about reciprocity.
Before, when she was recuperating at home, Jiang Yuanyuan stayed at her place to play, and every time she prepared lunch for the two children, she would also prepare a portion for her.
Once she gave Jiang Yuanyuan something delicious to eat, Grandma Jiang would ask Jiang Yuanyuan to bring her more delicious food the next day.
The next morning, Yu Qingtang discovered that Jiang Wan had hung two large bags on both sides of the front of his car.
"What's in it?"
Jiang Wan: "We found mushrooms in the mountains yesterday. I'll bring some to Song Cheng."
"Why don't you let him get it himself?" Yu Qingtang I thought she was going to take it to the black market to sell.
Jiang Wan whispered, "A lot of the oil from yesterday was spoiled and hard to sell, and my grandma couldn't bear to part with the oil, so I asked her to give it to my eldest and second uncles to eat."
Normally they would put the bags in a backpack and carry them down, but yesterday it rained and the road was muddy so they couldn't carry it steadily and had to drag it on the ground.
As a result, many of the mushrooms were rotten when I brought them home, which was a waste of half a day's effort.
Yu Qingtang estimated that Yun Shuangjiang would be even worse than them.
Yu Qingtang pointed at the different-sized pockets on both sides of Jiang Wan's car and asked, "Why do you put them like this?"
"One side of the front of the bike is tilted. It's hard to ride."
Jiang Wan patted the front of the car on the side with more stuff: "This is for Song Cheng and his friends."
"This one is for the home of one of my students."
Yu Qingtang: “…Ah?”
"Do teachers have to give gifts to students these days? Does your student's family have power?"
Jiang Wan was speechless: "What are you thinking about?"
"My student's parents are ordinary workers in your machinery factory."
Yu Qingtang still looked at her with a question mark on his face.
Jiang Wan: "Let's talk while we walk."
The two rode their bicycles, and Jiang Wan told Yu Qingtang about the situation of her student.
Her student was called Wang Baoyou. He had three older sisters and he was the only son.
His sisters had all at least finished junior high school, but for some unknown reason, his parents just wouldn't allow him to continue studying.
The boy was smart and studious. His parents didn't allow him to go to school, so he sneaked to school and secretly lay on the window to watch others in class.
As he ran more often, the principal knew his situation and often visited him to encourage him to study.
When they couldn't persuade him any more, they told the factory leaders about the situation. His parents sent him to school because of the factory leaders, but they always found various reasons to take him home after a few months.
This time, his parents kept him at home on the grounds that he was in poor health.
