Chapter 65
After sending Aunt Pei and Uncle Pei away, Qi Yuanyuan spread out the bedding and called Yan Yichen and Guoguo into the house.He fetched hot water for them to wash up, while he went to the outhouse to clean up the pots and stoves.

Seeing that Yan Yichen and Guoguo packed up and got on the kang, Qi Yuanyuan took the oil lamp to the Westinghouse, where she lives alone now.Although she looks young now, she always feels awkward sleeping on the same kang with a strange man.Therefore, she tidied up a piece of the kang in the Westinghouse. On the surface, she lived on the kang, but in fact she slept in the space every day.This is more convenient for Qi Yuanyuan, not only can she sleep soundly, but it is also convenient to take care of the space.

Qi Yuanyuan picks straw mushrooms in the space, don't think about what happened to her after she came here, she can't help but sigh in her heart, there are really enough things, she has only been here for a few days Peaceful life.

Qi Yuanyuan packed up the picked mushrooms and put them into the dryer. This dryer was originally used by her to dry medicinal materials, but now it is overkill, but there is no way to do it. It is too much to take out so many straw mushrooms. Conspicuous, drying in the space, and she disliked being too slow, so she had to wrong her little baby.

Qi Yuanyuan went into the room to take a shower, changed into a clean coat, and before she could go to bed, there was a loud knock on the door outside the space.Qi Yuanyuan sighed helplessly, she put on her clothes and went out of the space when there was really no time to stop.

Qi Yuanyuan stepped on her shoes and walked out of the West Room, just in time to face Yan Yichen who came out of the East Room.

"I don't know who it is, it's in the middle of the night." Qi Yuanyuan muttered unhappily to Yan Yichen, but she kept walking, she had already reached the door of the outer room, and asked aloud:

"Who is it?"

"Yuanyuan, it's me, Uncle Mancang, open the door quickly." A familiar voice came from outside, it was Grandma Wu's son Wu Mancang.

Although it was strange that Wu Mancang came to knock on the door in the middle of the night, Qi Yuanyuan didn't hesitate, pulled the latch and opened the door for him.When Qi Yuanyuan saw Wu Mancang's current appearance clearly by the moonlight, he couldn't help being surprised again. At this time, Wu Mancang was extremely embarrassed, with black and blue eyes, bloodstains on the corners of his mouth, and his long hair. Dirty and messy like straw.He was dressed in silver-gray clothes, which looked tattered at this time, and he was wearing only one shoe, and the other foot had blood oozing from the black lacquered white socks.

"Uncle Mancang, what's wrong with you? How did you get beaten like this? Does Grandma Wu know?" Qi Yuanyuan asked a series of questions.

Wu Mancang stepped into the room, quickly closed the door, and fastened the latch. First, he forgot to glance at Yan Yichen, and then turned his gaze to Qi Yuanyuan, with a shy expression on his face, and said in a deep voice, "Let's not talk about that, Yuanyuan Do you have anything to eat? Get some for Uncle."

"Uncle Mancang, wait a minute, I'll light the lamp first." Qi Yuanyuan said as he went to the Westinghouse, took out the fire pocket, lit the kerosene lamp and brought it out.

Seeing that Yan Yichen was still standing there silently staring at Wu Mancang, she said to him: "Cousin, go to sleep, Uncle Mancang is not an outsider, he has helped us many times." Then he will change the name of Yan Yichen and call him cousin.

It turned into a nod, and finally took his eyes off Wu Mancang, and walked back to the east room.

"Uncle Mancang, I'm sorry, my cousin has no other intentions, he is just worried about us. I'll pour water, you wash first, and I'll heat the rice here." Qi Yuanyuan picked up the washbasin and prepared to fetch water. .

Wu Mancang hurriedly stopped him, "Yuanyuan, don't worry about it, I'll do it myself! The meal doesn't need to be hot anymore, if there's anything else, just eat!"

"How can I do it? It's so cold today, you can't eat cold. Uncle, you wash it first, the firewood is ready-made, I'll be ready right away!" Qi Yuanyuan quickly filled the pot with water, and put The dry food and the leftover tofu soup from the night were all put into the pot.

Soon the food was ready, Qi Yuanyuan put the dining table on the floor of the outhouse, took a small stool, went to the cabinet in the west room, and found a set of clothes that her father had worn before he died. Although they were not new, they were Extremely clean.

"Uncle Mancang, these are the clothes my father wore. You'd better go into the house and change!"

"Okay!" Wu Mancang took the clothes from Qi Yuanyuan's hand, and limped into the Westinghouse.

Qi Yuanyuan took the food out of the pot, took the footbath, filled the hot water in the pot, and adjusted the temperature.Just in time, Wu Mancang changed his clothes and came out of the house.

"Uncle Mancang, wash your feet again. I have ointment at home, and I will apply it to you later." Qi Yuanyuan put the footbath next to the small stool.

"Yuanyuan, I really trouble you!" Wu Mancang said apologetically, sitting on a small stool, he planned to take off his baby.

"Uncle Mancang, wait!" Qi Yuanyuan stopped him from moving, and tiptoed to look for scissors in the needlework basket in the east room.

"What are you looking for?" Yan Yichen's voice came.

"I'm sorry, Brother Yan, I woke you up! I'll take the scissors and leave, you go to sleep!" Qi Yuanyuan whispered back.

"It's okay, just be careful!" Yan Yichen said.

"Brother Yan, don't worry!" Qi Yuanyuan said, holding the scissors and leaving the east room (Qi Yuanyuan's family used to call the east room the back room).

Qi Yuanyuan squatted in front of Wu Mancang, and handed the scissors to him, "Uncle Mancang, use the scissors to cut."

Wu Mancang cleaned up neatly, and Qi Yuanyuan was not in a hurry to give him medicine, so he took out his chopsticks and let him eat first. Using the pretext of taking medicine, he went to Westinghouse and took out a small porcelain bottle of alcohol from the space.

After everything was dealt with, it was already late at night, Qi Yuanyuan took out the quilt and spread it on the kang in the east room, "Uncle Mancang, let's talk about what's going on tomorrow, you will spend the night at my house first."

"Yuanyuan, uncle will only stay overnight, and leave early tomorrow morning." Wu Mancang said beside the kang.

"Uncle Mancang, look at what you said, it seems like I drove you away. If you are afraid of Grandma Wu's worries, you can live here anyway. When the injury recovers, just go home and visit Grandma Wu." Qi Yuan Yuan Yuan smiled and said that she had already guessed the reason why Wu Mancang came from home. As for why he was injured, Qi Yuanyuan didn't want to ask. As she said before, everyone has secrets that they don't want to be known by outsiders. .

The next morning, Qi Yuanyuan got up early again. The eldest brother said that the autumn harvest will start soon. She will steam a few pots of dry food in the next few days. She also wants to help in the field. It can be eaten hot.

"Yuanyuan, you got up so early?" Wu Mancang came out of the east room fully dressed.With a loving smile on his face.

"Get up early, steamer dry food. Uncle Mancang, why don't you sleep a little longer?" Qi Yuanyuan looked up at Wu Mancang. Although the bruises on his face hadn't faded, his complexion was much better than last night.

"I woke up when I couldn't sleep. Yuanyuan, do you still remember your father?" Wu Mancang looked at Qi Yuanyuan steadily and asked.

"En!" Qi Yuanyuan nodded, not understanding why Wu Mancang would ask this.
