Reborn 1980: The Peasant Girl of Vanves

Chapter 16

Seeing that his wife was agitated, Liu Wenkui hurriedly comforted him, "Sit down, sit down, if it's really the effect of these tomatoes, let's eat more."

"Then I'll cut another plate of salad, this plate is too small."

After Liu Wenkui's wife finished speaking, she turned around and entered the kitchen with sharp legs and brisk steps.

After a burst of running water and the sound of the chopping board, a plate of brightly red tomatoes sprinkled with sugar came out.

Liu Wenkui ate a piece, and a cool, sour-sweet taste went straight into his throat.

I just ate the cold tomatoes, and I was still feeling a little uncomfortable in my chest, but now it has completely disappeared.

Liu Wenkui ate an extra bowl of rice.

After the old couple finished their meal, looking at the remaining tomatoes on the table, Liu Wenkui's wife suddenly said, "If Xiangxiang sells this kind of tomato that can cure diseases, will her business be better?"

"Then hang up on her and let her come over." Liu Wenkui wanted to speak out.

At the market today, Xiangxiang was rude enough to the girl named Runyue, and she even questioned other people's tomatoes.

Now I have to let her know whether these tomatoes are worth ten yuan a catty.

Liu Wenkui's wife hung up the phone, and Liu Xiangxiang replied weakly, "Mom."

"Xiangxiang, your dad asked you to come over now."

"Mom, if there's nothing wrong, can I go tomorrow? My stomach hurts and I don't feel well."

Liu Xiangxiang has always suffered from dysmenorrhea, and now when she says her stomach hurts, the mother naturally knows what's going on.

Seeing his wife hesitate, Liu Wenkui said loudly, "Just say I'm going to die, and if she doesn't come, I won't be able to see it."

Liu Xiangxiang heard her father shouting on the phone, moved the phone away from her ears a little, and then got down to put on her shoes.

"Mom, tell my dad, I'll be there right away."

Liu Xiangxiang hung up the phone, got dressed and went out.

Dad was the leader back then, and he responded to the call of the country to have only one daughter, so he was the only daughter.

Today, the old man fell ill at the market, and he probably felt uncomfortable at the moment, or he couldn't find himself in such a hurry.

When passing by her supermarket, Liu Xiangxiang stopped and went in to get some seasonal fruits.

The old couple have nothing to do to keep healthy, and they don't eat ordinary processed things.

When she got downstairs to her parents, Liu Xiangxiang parked the car and went upstairs, covering her stomach with one hand and carrying fruit with the other.

Before there was a knock, her mother opened the door.

Seeing that the girl's face is pale, one can tell that she is tossing a lot.

Liu Xiangxiang handed the fruit to her mother, changed her shoes and went into the house. She saw her father holding a cup of tea and the old god sitting on the sofa, not at all uncomfortable.

Then I thought of my dad's shouting on the phone just now, full of energy, and now the old man is full of energy.

Liu Xiangxiang was a little confused, sat next to Liu Wenkui, and asked, "Dad, do you feel bad?"

"Who says I'm not good? I'm very good!"

Liu Wenkui's words, in Liu Xiangxiang's ears, made her unhappy.

"Then you call me..."

"Can't I call you here if I have nothing to do?" Liu Wenkui pushed a plate of tomatoes on the coffee table, motioning for his daughter to eat one.

"Dad, I don't dare to eat cold food. Let's drink a cup of hot water." Liu Xiangxiang reached for the teapot, wanting to pour a cup of hot water to relieve the pain in her stomach.

Unexpectedly, Liu Wenkui grabbed a tomato and stuffed it into her outstretched hand, "Take a bite, just take a bite!"

Liu Xiangxiang was surprised, there were all kinds of fruit in the fruit plate on the table, why did dad let him eat tomatoes?
It's not like he didn't know that he didn't like to eat this thing since he was a child.

"Girl, take one bite, just one bite!" Xiangxiang's mother came out of the kitchen and persuaded her.

Liu Xiangxiang immediately understood that this tomato must have been bought by her father from that man named Runyue.

Ten yuan a catty is a huge scam.

Nearly nine catties, if you don't eat, I'm afraid it will rot.

Dare to feel that the old couple made themselves a trash can.

There was another cramping pain in her stomach, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on Liu Xiangxiang's forehead.

Seeing that her complexion was getting worse, her mother urged her even more anxiously, "Just take a bite, and the medicine won't kill you. Maybe it can cure your illness."

"Tomatoes can cure diseases, hell!

No wonder this old man is always being deceived, even his own parents believe it! "Liu Xiangxiang slandered while biting a small bite of tomato.

A mellow and lingering taste, straight to the heart, "Well, the taste is still good, it should be a matter of variety..."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Xiangxiang, who was about to eat a bite of tomato, and his stomach hurt even worse, suddenly felt that his stomach didn't hurt anymore.

Not only was the pain gone, but there seemed to be a warm current in the lower abdomen, swirling in circles.

"Huh?" Liu Xiangxiang touched her belly subconsciously.

"How is it? Is it effective?" Xiangxiang's mother looked at her daughter with a smile and asked.

"Mom, you mean, these tomatoes can really cure diseases?" Liu Xiangxiang took another big bite.

After eating half a tomato, her stomach completely healed, and Liu Xiangxiang still felt refreshed, as if she had inexhaustible strength in her body.

Liu Wenkui saw that his daughter was still a little skeptical, so he quickly signaled to his wife, "Do some moves for her."

Xiangxiang's mother deliberately squatted down in front of her daughter, then stood up again, and did it twice.

"Mom, your legs... are also good for eating this?"

Liu Xiangxiang seemed to have seen a ghost, looking at the half-eaten tomato in her hand, she didn't know what to say.

"Yes, Xiangxiang, my legs can move freely because of eating this tomato.

And your dad, do you think he has a special spirit today?
Even his waist is straightened, and he speaks vigorously. "

"Xiangxiang, don't look down on this person, don't look down on the beggars all over the street, do you know who has special skills and you can't afford to provoke them?
Back then, our underground party members all pretended to be beggars and low-level people pulling rickshaws, so that they would not be discovered..." Liu Wenkui wanted to educate his daughter again.

However, the phone at home rang untimely.

Liu Xiangxiang picked up the handset to connect, and it was Chen Gang who hung up.

Before Chen Gang could speak, Liu Xiangxiang directly ordered, "I'm here with my parents, so hurry up and come here."

Chen Gang also thought that something happened to the father-in-law, and he didn't even come home, so he drove the police car directly to Liu Wenkui's house.

When he went upstairs and knocked on the door, he was relieved to see that the old man was fine.

As soon as Chen entered the room and sat down, the mother-in-law handed him a washed tomato, "Eat a persimmon."

Chen Gang glanced at the fruits in the fruit plate on the coffee table, and didn't want to pick up persimmons.

But the mother-in-law persistently handed the persimmon to him again.

Chen Gang had no choice but to take it, took a bite indifferently, looked at Liu Wenkui and said, "Dad, today we are going to Mopanling to dispatch the police. Guess I met..."

"Huh?" Chen Gang paused, glanced at the persimmon in his hand, and then turned his wrist with surprise on his face.
