Quick Wear: True and False Life

As soon as Haozi entered the room, he showed Lu Nan what he had in his hand. It looked quite interesting. It was a grasshopper skewered on a bamboo stick.

"Why did you think of eating grasshoppers?" Lu Nan asked as he let Haozi into the yard.

"Xiaoyi, Gangzi and others caught it, and my brother also gave us a good test." Haozi said proudly.

"Sister, this is for you. It smells so good."

"Then wait a moment, I'll go wash up." Lu Nan said, and took the basin to brush his teeth and wash his face.

Lu Nan was not averse to eating grasshoppers and the like. When the children were in their childhood, roasted grasshoppers, roasted dragonflies, roasted field frogs, roasted bird eggs, etc. were all their snacks. It was very fulfilling to catch them and roast them by themselves.

After Lu Nan washed up, he took a skewer and tried it. It was pretty good! Brother Lu roasted it fragrant and crispy. He ate two skewers and shared the rest with Haozi, Lingxi, and Baixi.

She waited for Haozi to finish eating, then gave him a few chocolates she had received not long ago. Haozi was very happy to receive the gift. After eating one, he hid the rest in his pocket.

"Sister, I want to hide it and eat it slowly." After hiding it, Haozi patted his pocket and said.

"Got it. I won't tell anyone." Lu Nan was too lazy to cook today, so he took the steamed buns and corn bread in the space, packed a jar of medicinal wine and a headless snake, and went to his grandfather's house with Haozi.

When I came over, my grandmother was feeding chickens and rabbits. The situation is not as strict as before, so she can raise one or two more chickens. I haven't heard of any news about rabbits, but the pigs are all fed collectively.

"Nannan, Haozi, go inside first, I'll be there in a moment."

Grandma fed the baby quickly, washed her hands, went into the house to see what her granddaughter had brought, put the steamed buns and corn bread in a small winnowing basket, put the snake in a basin to deal with it later, and put the wine jar directly into the cupboard as she had not finished drinking the wine she had taken out last time.

"Nannan, go pick some vegetables." Grandma glanced at the fire room and said. There haven't been many vegetables recently. The newly planted vegetables have begun to sprout, so only the old vegetables can be picked.

Haozi followed Lu Nan to the backyard. She looked around and picked the tenderer ones. There were not many of them, but they were edible. She thought about picking some edible wild vegetables from the mountains and bringing them over.

"Haozi, have you finished eating?" Lu Nan was sharpening a sickle outside, and asked Haozi after he finished.

"Sister, wait for me!" Haozi shoveled the rice into his mouth, passed the kitchen, and followed Lu Nan with the basket in his hand.

"Nannan, Haozi, be careful on the mountain." Grandma said when she saw them leaving.

"understood."

"My sister said she knew."

"This kid!" Grandma shook her head, watched them walk away, and went back to clean up the dishes.

"Don't worry, they are just picking some wild vegetables, they won't go far." Grandpa put down the water cup in his hand and said to his wife. Lu Nan did not take Haozi into the mountains, but picked some wild vegetables outside, such as shepherd's purse, leeks, wolfberry tips, banana flowers, etc., picking the tender ones, picking a full basket, and sent them to grandma's house before going home.

On the way back, I ran into Fang Yan, who was wrapped tightly. When I saw her, I quickly made way for her.

She was a little confused. The Gu could only attract each other and make her irritable. It was totally fine for her to withdraw from the marriage with a firm will. It didn't intend to kill her.

Although grandpa and grandma didn't say it, they definitely couldn't accept her death. The original owner should have thought so too, so she only talked about revenge.

"Comrade Lu, I brought your package along the way." Jiang Lai waited outside the yard for a while, and as soon as he looked up he saw Lu Nan and the others, so he said.

"I'm so sorry to bother you, Jiang Zhiqing. I have to ask you to help me move into the house."

"Haozi, come and help."

Soon everyone moved in, and Lu Nan made a cup of malted milk for Jiang Lai and Haozi.

"Why were they delivered so much earlier this time?" Lu Nan wondered puzzledly. There had been two months between the two doses, how could the medicine take effect so quickly?

"There was a small-scale conflict and the number of casualties suddenly increased, so we rushed to collect supplies and medicines," Jiang Lai explained simply.

"Is that so? Then I will ask the village chief for another day off. Tomorrow at noon, you can come to my place to get the medicine."

Taking into consideration that the wounded were still waiting for medicine, Lu Nan made active preparations and worked overtime to get them ready by tomorrow morning.

After seeing off Comrade Jiang Lai, Lu Nan took a leave because he had to make medicine, and then asked Haozi to take Bai Xi to play with his nephew or Gangzi and others.

Lu Nan and Ling Xi began to refine the medicine. It was already past four o'clock in the morning when all the herbs were turned into pills. After putting away the pills and remaining residues, she fell into bed and went to sleep.

At noon, when Jiang Lai came to get the medicine, Lu Nan also gave her ten boxes of Xu Gu Gao. The main reason was that she rarely used Xu Gu Gao, so she didn't make any extra ones.

It's the spring ploughing season recently and everyone is quite busy, but when she has some free time, she hears the old men and women in the cowshed sending back messages from time to time. Recently, more and more people from all over the country have been rehabilitated. They have survived and seen hope. Let her read some books when she has nothing to do, as the college entrance examination should not be far away.

Of course Lu Nan knew about it, and he also implicitly reminded those acquaintances around him who were good at playing with him. Those who listened to him had already started reading, for example: Zhang Cheng and Xie Yan, Guo Jiawei and Bai Wenjing.

At noon, Lu Nan was digging a hole in the field and Haozi was helping me sow seeds in the back. Suddenly, I heard a noise in front of me. After a while, I heard Aunt Cui coming to deliver water and say that Mr. Yang and his wife in the cowshed had been rehabilitated and they were coming down from above to pick them up.

"That old man and his wife, one is a researcher and the other is a university professor. It can be said that they have endured hardships and finally got their reward." Aunt Cui has no aversion to these people, it's just that the environment is not good, so they will not take the initiative to approach each other.

Take Lu Nan for example. Since he came to Shanghe Village, he has met the old men and women in the cowshed only a few times in the past few years. They all communicated through bamboo signs to transmit their presence and absence.

Lu Nan was also happy for them. Because of the trade between them, no one in the cowshed died of freezing, starvation or disease. However, patients with mental illness need mental medicine to treat them. They had finally waited for it. If one of the two was vindicated, the next two would follow. One day, they would return to their respective posts.

"Grandpa Qi, Grandma Fang, why haven't you left yet?" Lu Nan was surprised when he saw Qi Xiu Ze and Fang Yan Ping outside the yard when he returned home.

"Child, we have to pack up before we leave. The most important thing is to thank the girl." Grandma Qi took her hand and said gratefully.

"It's not a big deal, Grandpa Qi, Grandma Fang, let's go inside and sit down and talk."

After entering the house, Lu Nan made them a cup of malted milk and then sat down to talk.

"Nannan, what are you interested in?"

"I can't really say. I used to be more exposed to Chinese medicine, but I haven't had the opportunity to do more."

"Speaking of which, the various medicines made by Nan Nan are very useful. It would not be a bad idea for her to study medicine systematically at that time." Qi Xiu Ze thought for a while and said. He was a mechanic and wanted to introduce Lu Nan to the field.

"I didn't know you weren't interested in the mechanical sense!" Qi Xiu Ze changed direction and said.

"Grandpa Qi, I need to think about it."

They finished talking and chatted with Grandma Fang for a while. When the cowshed was ready to pick them up, Lu Nan gave them a jar of medicinal wine and some food to eat in the car.
