Chapter 155 Sleepless Night
Ding Qiaoyun thought about it or she wouldn't go back tonight, anyway, there was a place to live here. But then she thought about it, her mother-in-law was looking forward to news about her husband all day long, and now she had good news about her husband, so she must be very happy. Moreover, her mother-in-law didn't know that she wouldn't go back today, and she was worried that her mother-in-law was worried about herself.
In the end, Ding Qiaoyun decided to go home in the dark. Because of the time, she didn't hire a carriage, so she could only grit her teeth and walk back. There were no people along the way. At this time, she missed modern street lights.
Because Ding Qiaoyun thought about telling Aunt Niu Dashan about the news earlier, and she was a little scared when it was dark, Ding Qiaoyun was walking faster and faster, which was much faster than usual.
As she walked along the way, Ding Qiaoyun didn't dare to take a break, hoping to get home sooner, and didn't know if her mother-in-law was in a hurry at home! Fortunately, she had walked many times on this road from Niujiakeng to the county town, and she was already very familiar with the road conditions. In addition, there were really no people at night, and she was full of people, so she was not as scared as she was at the beginning.
When she was about to reach Niu Family Keng, Ding Qiaoyun saw a light from a distance. The key was that the light was still moving. At this time, she couldn't help but feel a little creepy. As the light got closer, she found that it might be someone walking with an oil lamp. She didn't know who this person was. She was a little scared and hid it for a while. She thought that it would not be too late to wait for the person to walk away, but it was already so late anyway.
Because Ding Qiaoyun was not sure whether the man was a man or a woman, a good person or a bad person, on this dark night, I'm afraid that the man killed him, no one knew! She just got the news about her husband, and she didn't want to take this risk again!
Slowly, the man got closer and closer. Ding Qiaoyun was alone behind the big tree and didn't dare to breathe for a moment, for fear of exposing herself.
"What happened to Qiaoyun, this child, is it? Even if he didn't go home, he would tell the child Anzi to come and send me a message! Oh, I'm so anxious that I'm so anxious. There's still such a long way to go. This is not going to cost me my life!" Aunt Niu said worriedly as she walked.
It turned out that the person walking with the oil lamp in the middle of the night was nothing but someone else, but the impatient Aunt Niu who was waiting for Ding Qiaoyun to wait at home. Originally, she had prepared dinner early during this period and waited for Ding Qiaoyun to come back from the county town before having dinner together. However, today she waited around and there was no one there. The more she waited, the more anxious she felt, but it was not dark at that time, and she felt that something might have been delayed in the shop and would come back later.
Finally, Aunt Niu looked patiently at Jun'er and Xiang'er having dinner first. After dinner, Jun'er and Xiang'er were a little worried about their mother. They followed Aunt Niu's butt and asked questions. They didn't know how to answer the two children. In the end, Aunt Niu became more and more scared. Ding Qiaoyun used to be too busy and stayed overnight in the shop. However, if this happens, Ding Qiaoyun would ask Liu Anzi to come and talk to her mother-in-law. But today Aunt Niu has been at home and has not seen Liu Anzi come to bring her messages!
Aunt Niu waited patiently for a while. Time passed little by little, and there was still no movement at the gate. At this time, Aunt Niu couldn't sit still. She thought to herself that her son's whereabouts were now unknown. If there was another daughter-in-law, only her lonely old woman and two young grandsons, she would really not be able to live this life.
Thinking of this, Aunt Niu stood up and pulled Jun'er and Xiang'er to walk towards Niu Shilong's house. She thought about it and asked her two children to be at home by herself. She was really worried. Now she could only take Jun'er and Xiang'er to the second family and let the couple watch for themselves first, and then she went out to find Ding Qiaoyun.
When Aunt Niu walked to Niu Shilong's door, she found that their house had closed the door from inside.
"Shilong, Shilong, have you fallen asleep? Open the door quickly, I have something to come to you!" Aunt Niu shouted loudly while slamming the door anxiously.
As a result, Aunt Niu shouted for a long time, but she didn't see any movement inside. She thought that this family wouldn't sleep so heavily, so she shouted so loudly, but she didn't hear it?
Finally, because Aunt Niu called out too much, the door of Aunt Wang next to her was opened. It turned out that Aunt Wang had already fallen asleep, but maybe because of her age, she slept lightly and couldn't sleep when she heard a little sound. She seemed to be Aunt Niu's voice, so she quickly put on a piece of clothes and opened the door.
"Dashan, it's so late, why are you not sleeping yet? Why are you doing here with your two children?" Aunt Wang rubbed her eyes and asked sleepyly.
When Aunt Niu saw that Aunt Wang had opened the door, she thought that it would be fine to ask Aunt Wang to help him see it for a while. Thinking of this, she hurriedly pulled her two children to Aunt Wang's door.
"You woke up by me? Oh, why did the Shilong couple sleep so hard? Their throats were yelling, and there was no movement. Is this real or fake sleep?" Aunt Niu said angrily, and then told Aunt Wang about what Ding Qiaoyun had not returned home yet, and also told about what she wanted her to help watch the child for a while.
"It's okay, you put the child here first. It's so late and I won't come back. It's quite worrying." Aunt Wang said quickly when she heard this, thinking that she couldn't sleep anyway. She had to help her because Ding Qiaoyun took care of her daughter Chunmei in this way.
Then Aunt Niu put Jun'er and Xiang'er at Aunt Wang's house. Before leaving, she told the two children to listen to Aunt Wang's words and asked them to wait for her here obediently. Jun'er and Xiang'er were also very worried about their mother, so they nodded heavily, saying that they were obedient, and urged Aunt Niu to go and find their mother quickly.
Aunt Niu returned home and fetched the oil lamp, and then hurriedly carried the oil lamp to look for Ding Qiaoyun. After all, she was old, so she hadn't walked for a long time and started sweating. However, because she was worried about Ding Qiaoyun, she didn't dare to stop the steps under her feet. There were no people on the road. When she walked behind, she began to feel a little anxious, and then she said a few words to herself.
Ding Qiaoyun, who was hiding behind the big tree, was far away, so she didn't hear what the man was saying. She just thought that the man's voice was so much like her mother-in-law's voice! When she thought about this, she was brave enough to stumble from behind the big tree and glanced secretly. In the light of the oil lamp, she finally saw that the man clearly. It turned out that it was her mother-in-law.
After seeing it clearly, Ding Qiaoyun walked out from behind the big tree. Originally, Aunt Niu was just rushing to the road and didn't pay much attention to the side. Suddenly, she saw someone coming, which scared her and almost took off the oil lamp in her hand.
"Mom, it's me, don't be afraid!" Ding Qiaoyun said quickly when she saw this.
"Qiaoyun, it's you. Do you want to scare me to death? What's going on today? I won't ask someone to send a message if I come back late. You don't know how worried I am about you!" Aunt Niu complained.
"Mom, you're coming out to find me, where are Jun'er and Xiang'er?" Ding Qiaoyun asked after seeing that her mother-in-law was the only one.
"Jun'er and Xiang'er, I'll ask you Aunt Wang to take care of me. It's okay! Am I worried about you? You can't bring them to you, right?" Aunt Niu said quickly.
Hearing this, a warm current surged in Ding Qiaoyun's heart. She didn't expect her mother-in-law to worry so much about her.
"Mom, I won't be like this again next time. Because the matter is urgent, I didn't have time to ask someone to bring you a message!" Ding Qiaoyun said apologetically.
"What's the matter? It's so urgent? Something happened to the shop, right?" Aunt Niu asked nervously when she heard this.
"No, the shop is fine, mom, guess?" Ding Qiaoyun said happily when she thought of her husband's affairs.
"What's the guesswork about this? I can't guess it. It's impossible that you have news about the mountains?" Aunt Niu said disapprovingly. Recently, she has no hope for this matter. After asking several times, there was no news.
"Yes, mom, you guessed it right!" Ding Qiaoyun happily patted her mother-in-law on the shoulder.
"Qiaoyun, what you said is true? Is there really news about the mountains?" Aunt Niu asked in disbelief. But thinking that she could make her daughter-in-law laugh so happily now, it can be seen that it must be good news.
"Yes!" Ding Qiaoyun nodded happily.
Ding Qiaoyun thought that the children were still at Aunt Wang's place, so she couldn't read the letter from her husband with her mother-in-law on the road in the middle of the night, so she took Aunt Niu's hand and began to roughly say the contents of the letter as she walked. As Aunt Niu listened, tears began to flow down her eyes. After waiting for the news for so long, she finally came. What made her happy was that this was still good news, it was so good!
Aunt Niu and Ding Qiaoyun, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, were no longer afraid of the night road! Soon the two arrived at the entrance of the village. Ding Qiaoyun thought that her mother-in-law would be very tired after leaving for so long, so she sent her mother-in-law home first, and then she went to Aunt Wang's house to bring Jun'er and Xiang'er back.
"Miss Wang, it's me, Qiaoyun, I'll take Jun'er and Xiang'er." Ding Qiaoyun came to Mrs. Wang's house and patted the door.
"Here you come." Aunt Wang didn't sleep during this period because she wanted to take care of Jun'er and Xiang'er. As soon as she heard the sound, she quickly put on a piece of clothes and went out to open the door.
"Are they both asleep?" Ding Qiaoyun asked in a low voice after opening the door.
"No, these two children said, "I can't sleep if I can't see you. I'm afraid they will get cold, so I let them lie in my bed. I was clamoring to get off, but before I put on my clothes, I came over and opened the door first. You hurry up and go into the house. The two children are worried about you!" Aunt Wang said with a smile.
When Ding Qiaoyun heard this, her heart felt warm again. These two children are so sensible!
"Mom, I'm so worried about you!" As soon as Ding Qiaoyun entered the room, Jun'er and Xiang'er said in unison, both complaining and distressing.
"It's all my fault. I won't scare you like this again next time. Get up quickly, I'll dress you up!" Ding Qiaoyun's nose felt sore, she held back her tears and said, she didn't want to make the children worry about her anymore.
Jun'er is old and can wear clothes by herself. When he heard this, he started to wear clothes by himself. Aunt Wang felt very distressed when she saw these two children so sensible. Seeing that he was a little embarrassed, she hurried forward to help him, and Jun'er soon finished dressing.
Ding Qiaoyun also dressed Xiang'er quickly and then led the two children out of the room.
"Auntie Wang, I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble!" Ding Qiaoyun walked to the door and said apologetically.
"Qiaoyun, we were old neighbors before, so you'll be dissatisfied if you say these words! The two children are obedient again, why bother! You guys go home and go to bed!" Aunt Wang said with a smile.
Now, Aunt Wang likes Ding Qiaoyun the more she looks at him. She is sensible and the children she teaches are also very sensible. It seems that her daughter Chunmei has many places to learn from her!
"Well, then let's go back first, you should go to bed early, it's a mess this night, and you didn't sleep well!" Ding Qiaoyun said apologetically again.
"Go home quickly. I slept less, it's okay. It's so late for children to sleep. It's time to sleep so late!" Aunt Wang waved her hand and urged.
"Jun'er, Xiang'er, come and say goodbye to my mother-in-law!" Ding Qiaoyun said.
"My mother-in-law, goodbye, thank you today!" Jun'er said.
"My mother-in-law, goodbye!" Xiang'er also said angrily in a silence.
Ding Qiaoyun led Jun'er and Xiang'er back home soon, and the two children didn't sleep much overnight. Ding Qiaoyun took off her clothes and told them the good news about the child's father, so that they could sleep well with peace of mind.
After Jun'er and Xiang'er heard the good news from Niu Dashan, they were so happy. They knew how worried their grandmother and mother were about their father recently. They couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep well all day. Now they finally got better, and the two children fell asleep happily.
After Ding Qiaoyun coaxed her two children to sleep, she gently closed the door and came to her mother-in-law's room with her husband's letter. Aunt Niu was so happy that she was no longer sleepy and was sitting alone by the bed and smiling foolishly.
"Mom, look, this is the letter from my husband!" Ding Qiaoyun said with a smile.
"Hurry, let me see!" Aunt Niu said quickly. His son could write some simple words in the past, otherwise he would not have written this letter of peace.
Ding Qiaoyun took the letter apart and handed it to her mother-in-law. Aunt Niu looked at the dense words on the paper. To be honest, she didn't know any of them, but thinking about it was written by his son in strokes, and it seemed as if his son was right in front of him.
"Hey, it's not right. This mountain doesn't write so many words? It's not fake. Are the people in this yamen so kind?" Aunt Niu thought about it carefully and said in confusion.
