Chapter 22 I've Been Waiting for You for a Long Time
The gravel road leading to the village from the entrance of the granary was uneven, and the donkey cart was a little unstable. Zheng Xinyue wanted to slowly digest this outrageous thing of traveling through time, so she leaned on Gao Guilan's arms and closed her eyes to take a nap.
After leaving the city, the road became worse and worse as she went to the countryside. The donkey cart was bumpy and bumpy. Zheng Chengbao had tried his best to control the donkey, but it was inevitable that the cart would shake from side to side.
Zheng Xinyue could no longer lean on her mother and pretend to sleep. How could she let an old lady hold her?
"How do you drive the cart? Don't you know that your sister is uncomfortable?"
Who knew that as soon as she opened her eyes, Gao Guilan scolded her son. She was the most severe to Zheng Chengbao among the three sons, and she never spoke to him gently.
If he was naughty when he was a child, could he scare Xinyue into a disease?
If Xinyue was not sick, no matter how heavy the rain was, it would not fall on the Zhang family. She, Gao Guilan, had never been so aggrieved in her life.
"Walk carefully, my sister will be beaten if you bump into me."
Zheng Chengbao was so anxious after being scolded by his mother that he raised his whip to beat the donkey, but a slender little hand grabbed his wrist: "Third brother, don't bully the donkey. It's a dumb animal and it's a crime to bully it. We can't damage public property."
Zheng Xinyue grabbed the third brother's wrist and whispered to persuade him.
"Well, stinky donkey, my sister told me not to beat you."
Zheng Chengbao's eyes turned red with excitement when he heard Zheng Xinyue calling him the third brother again. He put down the whip honestly and said something to the donkey.
I don't know if the donkey understood it? He raised his head and shouted happily, and snorted twice.
Half an hour later, Zheng Xinyue returned to the original owner's mother's home, Hongqi Team 5.
There are five teams in Hongqi Village, each with more than 20 households. Hongqi Team 5 is closest to the mountains, with less land than the other four teams, and it is close to the hillside. If a mountain torrent comes, there will be no harvest.
On the contrary, the drought years are better than other teams. There are streams around the mountains and waterfalls falling from the mountains. Even in the drought, the water in the river is constantly flowing.
The captain of the Red Flag Team 5 is Zheng Xinyue's ancestor Zheng Maoshan. He sounds older than Zheng Dagui, but Zheng Dagui has to call him uncle.
Zheng Chengbao just drove the donkey cart into the village and saw the captain Zheng Maoshan hurriedly coming.
"Master."
Zheng Chengbao jumped off the donkey cart and called respectfully.
"Is Xinyue okay?"
Zheng Maoshan saw Zheng Xinyue sitting in the car at a glance, and surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Master."
Zheng Xinyue called a little awkwardly, this generation is at a disadvantage! I wonder what my father felt when he faced the captain? He has to call him uncle even though he is the same age.
"This child"
Zheng Maoshan looked at Gao Guilan happily. You know, Zheng Xinyue used to not speak to anyone she saw. She shrunk her neck and lowered her head, like a quail, with her arms drooping, and she walked along the side like a yellow croaker.
Everyone in the brigade knew about Xinyue's illness, and no one cared about her. Today, Zheng Maoshan suddenly knew to call for help, and he was very happy.
"Uncle, I just happened to see you. We are from the same family, and you are the elder. You have to make the decision for our Xinyue."
Gao Guilan jumped off the carriage neatly, pulled her clothes, and called uncle without any burden.
Zheng Maoshan looked at his granddaughter with clear eyes. He looked at himself with curiosity, and his temperament was completely different.
"What happened? A team came this morning and said that Xinyue fell into the river and drowned. Isn't she fine? Why did you bring her home?"
