Chapter 148: No News
Qiaojuan sat at Qu's house for an hour, and then Zhang Wenguang came to pick it up.
Qiaolian knew that Zhang Wenguang was going to Daqingchuan to run errands, passing by Shizuizi, so she brought Qiaojuan over, and after the matter was done, she came to pick it up again.
"The eldest brother-in-law is so good to you, I was afraid that you would walk back by yourself, so I came to pick you up." Qiao Lian deliberately quipped.
Qiaojuan was not embarrassed, "If Wei Yang is at home, he cares more about it than your brother-in-law." ”
As soon as the words came out, Qiao Juan regretted it, "That, I forgot, Wei Yang hasn't believed it yet?" "Qu Weiyang has not been heard from since he left.
"This person is really, no matter where he is, he should also let someone bring a message back, this is good, there is no news at all, it is really anxious."
Qiao Lian smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Sister, you also know that he is a soldier, and the telegram said that he has a combat mission."
Where else do you think there will be a war at this time? Isn't it just across the river from us?
If Wei Yang really went to Yalu Jiangnan to fight, how tight the situation is now, how can he send a letter back? ”
Qu Weiyang has not heard from him, and Qiao Lian is more and more sure of her guess, Qu Weiyang must have gone abroad to fight.
Since it is a war abroad, especially when the recent war situation is particularly tense, how can it be possible to send a letter back in this situation?
Qiao Juan hadn't thought about it before, but now she was reminded by Qiao Lian and understood.
"Oh, that's very dangerous, this year the county organized a transport team to collect vegetables, just to transport them to the front line, your brother-in-law heard that the fighting over there was fierce."
The war is raging in a neighboring country, where there is already smoke of artillery fire everywhere, where is there still logistical provisions? It's all shipped from here.
For such a large-scale war, the supplies needed were also very large, and all counties and cities along the Yalu River organized transport teams to transport supplies to the other side of the river.
This autumn, the transport team in Fusong County also won the provincial reward, and when the people of the transport team came back, they would naturally talk about the situation on the battlefield.
Qiaolian lives too far here, and the news is not so well-informed, like Zhang Wenguang's brother often goes out to run errands and walks around, so he knows a lot about these news.
So when she heard that Qu Weiyang was likely to fight on the south bank, Qiaojuan's heart hung up.
"God bless my brother-in-law to come back safely, you have waited for five or six years, no matter what, you have to come back for a family reunion." Qiao Juan couldn't say anything else, only said this.
Qiao Lian was quite calm, "Sister, since I have waited for five or six years, I am not afraid to wait another year or two, it's okay, I will wait for Wei Yang to come back and lead our children to wait for him." ”
This war will end the year after tomorrow, and Qiao Lian believes that Qu Weiyang will be fine, and when the war is over, he will definitely come back.
"Well, I hope it will end soon, when the time comes, your family will be reunited, and it will be lively."
Who knows when the war will end? But seeing Qiao Lian's very confident appearance, Qiao Juan naturally couldn't say anything frustrating, so she followed Qiao Lian's words.
"Well, don't talk about it, your brother-in-law is still waiting, then tomorrow, tomorrow, we'll meet at our mother's place." Outside, Zhang Wenguang urged again, and Qiaojuan hurriedly stood up and wanted to go out.
"Sister, take something, don't forget." Qiao Lian stuffed the things to Qiao Juan and asked her to take them.
Qiaojuan thought about it, so she didn't refuse, just carried her things out of the door, got into the carriage and followed Zhang Wenguang home.
After sending her sister away, Qiaolian didn't have time to think about other things, so she hurriedly gathered all the things she bought today and put them away.
The food was put on the shelves in the West House, and the cloth and cotton were all put in the cabinet on the East House.
Smoothly, Qiao Lian sorted out the things that had been made again to see what was still missing.
The child's quilts, quilts, single clothes, cotton clothes, and diaper pads, Qiaolian had prepared a set before.
However, judging from the current situation, it is very likely that she really has a pair in her belly, so she must prepare one more set, no, it should be more than two.
Raising two babies at the same time, and serving a small baby, that is definitely not a concept, it is not just as simple as one plus one equals two, it will be busier than twice as much as a baby.
Especially if there is no one to help, everything depends on Qiaolian herself, so things must be sufficient, once she is too busy to clean up, and there are not enough things, it will not be easy to do.
Fortunately, Qiaolian often finds some discounted cloth from the system, and there are all kinds of them, and there are a lot of them.
When she has nothing to do, she will do it, and slowly accumulate, and it is estimated that she will be ready before she gives birth.
Fortunately, there is a system, otherwise what would you do? Now that there is a shortage of materials, even if she has money, she can't buy so much cloth and cotton.
The things were packed up, and the three of them finished dinner, and Qiaolian accompanied the two children to finish the toys on the kang for a while, and then the three of them slept together.
Qiaolian was more sleepy after pregnancy, and slept very deeply at night, but fortunately, now the garden sticks are clamped, and there are two dogs at home.
Ah Huang and Ah Ash are not small, these two dogs are extremely powerful, and they don't let go of the slightest movement outside.
When she went to bed at night, Qiao Lian loosened the chains of the two dogs and let them wander around the yard at will, not afraid of thieves or other things coming in.
After a good night's sleep, Qiao Lian got up early the next day, made some breakfast and ate the three of them, and then Qiao Lian got into the car and let the two children sit on the mule cart.
There are not many women who can catch a car, but fortunately, this little mule at home has a very docile temperament, and although it is not fast, it is very steady.
Qiaolian is not afraid of being bold, she will go out in the car if there is anything, and it will be more convenient to go back and forth.
The little mule is not yet an adult, and Qiaolian is reluctant to tire it, so she is not in a hurry on the road, and walks slowly by the little mule.
No matter how slow it is, it is faster than walking a person, and after more than half an hour, Qiaolian drove into Daying Township and walked all the way to the west.
The weather is not too cool in August, and there are quite a few people outside.
At this time, almost every household has collected the land, some people take advantage of the good weather to beat beans outside, and some use oxen to pull mills to beat sorghum and millet outside, and the open space on the east kaner is the grain field, which is particularly lively at this time.
When people saw Qiaolian driving by with a mule cart, many people stepped forward to say hello, "Daughter-in-law of the Qu family, how many months are you pregnant?" Why is your belly so big? Looks like you're about to give birth? ”
These days, Qiaolian has rarely come back, but her stomach has changed very much, and some people can't help but be surprised when they see it, so they naturally want to ask.
In fact, Qiaolian's belly is big, but it is not so exaggerated as if she is about to give birth, Qiaolian also knows that these people are just good believers and gossip, and their words are a little exaggerated and shadowless, so they don't take it to heart.
