Framed at the beginning: Female educated youth forced to marry disabled military officer

Unlike the unbearable pain after taking the medicine last time, this time my legs felt like they were soaking in a hot spring, very comfortable. When he woke up in the morning, he even had the illusion that his legs had recovered.

He worked hard to move his legs, and was surprised to find that his toes could actually move!

Xiao Xiangdong was so surprised that he almost shouted, but he stopped when he saw the person still sleeping beside him. After calming down, their minds began to recall the massage techniques that the military doctor had taught them to massage the stiff and atrophied muscles in their legs.

Maybe one day his legs will recover?

With these thoughts in mind, Xiao Xiangdong began to massage his legs every day.

Meng Xiaoman went for a morning jog, ate, and went to work as usual.

I met Sister Fang as soon as I went out today. They live close to each other and are in the same team. They often go to and from work together. After going back and forth, the relationship became much closer.

Although Sister Fang is a widow, she does not look sad and has a cheerful personality. After being in contact for a long time, Meng Xiaoman knew that this was related to her having a good mother-in-law.

"Others have advised me to remarry, but what's the benefit of remarrying? It's just that I have another man and a big family to take care of. Although my mother-in-law is old, she can do all the work at home, and she also helps me take care of my son. I'm very good. I just need to work hard. Compared with when I didn't have a man, except for being poorer and occasionally tired, there is no difference. Look at the remarried people in the village who are not as comfortable as I am now. We are not afraid of being tired and poor. , I’m just afraid of being tired, poor and angry and wronged!”

Meng Xiaoman nodded in agreement, especially now, a large family often lives together, the old, the young, sisters-in-law, and brothers. It is easy to have quarrels and frictions. There are trivial things every day, which is very annoying. .

Meng Xiaoman felt bored after living in Xiao's house for only a few days. After moving out to live alone, she became quiet.

"By the way, Xiaoman, your new quilt is finished. When you are free, come to my house to pick it up." There is no one in Qinghe Brigade who knows how to quilt. It happened that Sister Fang's mother-in-law was going to Yangliu Brigade to pick up the old quilt at home. After the quilt was bounced again, Meng Xiaoman asked her for help.

It takes a while to play cotton, but if there are too many people, the queue may last two or three days.

Meng Xiaoman didn't have time, so she scooped out a bowl of white noodles and asked Sister Fang's mother-in-law, Grandma Zhou, to help.

Although Grandma Zhou is a bit stooped, she is in good spirits and walks and talks neatly. It is obvious that she is a refreshing and hard-working person.

She accepted Meng Xiaoman's white dough and assured her that it would be juicy and soft, and she would definitely not miss a ounce of cotton.

Cotton is expensive these days, and people have to keep an eye on the cotton when playing it, so as not to cut corners.

There were ten kilograms of cotton in total, and Meng Xiaoman kept two kilograms, planning to make a few pairs of cotton shoes and sew a few menstrual belts.

"When I get off work, I'll go over and get it." Meng Xiaoman clasped her hands and returned.

Sister Fang breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed her hands and said, "It's really cold today. I didn't expect you to be so slim and in good shape. After working for so many days, your energy and physical strength are still so good." She couldn't bear it anymore.

Meng Xiaoman felt that this had something to do with the medicine and food she had taken from space, as well as her good mentality, but the former certainly couldn't say, "It's not good and there's nothing we can do about it. We have to do it anyway, so why not do it happily. However, Sister Fang, Don’t work too hard. Your body is yours. If you are exhausted, you will be the one who suffers.”

Meng Xiaoman has observed that Sister Fang works too hard, and sometimes does more work than those men. She is too honest and doesn't know how to fish.

Sister Fang gave a bitter smile, "I'm used to it. At first, I was afraid that others would gossip and look down on me, saying that I can't support the family as a woman. As if to prove myself, I worked hard. I want to do better what a woman can do. Man I can do whatever work I can do. Later, I got used to it as I kept doing it."

Meng Xiaoman patted her back, feeling that the bones under his hand were not as strong as they looked, "I understand, but Sister Fang, you have to think about yourself and your children. You are the backbone of the family. If you collapse from exhaustion, , what should I do with the child? Therefore, work should be done slowly, and taking a few minutes to rest when tired is not considered laziness."

Sister Fang nodded, "I understand, sister, thank you for telling me this.".

"You're welcome, Sister Fang, you helped me a lot." Meng Xiaoman responded with a smile.

Seeing that it was time to harvest in space again, Meng Xiaoman took two Yishen Bu Nao Pills and one Strengthening Body Pills a few days in advance. The work in space mainly required the use of mental power, so she only took one pill. Strengthening pills had a greater effect on Xiao Xiangdong than she did, so she planned to save some for him.

In addition, during this period of running exercise and working, her physical fitness is much better than before.

With the help of exercise and medicine, I finished harvesting the crops in two nights this time. Waking up during the day has no other effects except that my complexion is poor.

After handing over the grain, Meng Xiaoman was still looking forward to the surprise gift package, but in the end, the space only distributed the sorghum and millet to be planted next season, and nothing else.

Loss must be rewarded, but Meng Xiaoman quickly adjusted his mentality. It was already good to get so much food for free. He couldn't ask for too much. Meng Xiaoman comforted himself, and then spent half the night to prepare the new food. The seeds of hair were planted.

After work that day, Meng Xiaoman smelled a different fragrance as soon as he walked in the door.

"It smells so good. What are you cooking that's delicious?" Meng Xiaoman said while scooping water.

Xiao Xiangdong was sitting by the stove. When he saw her scooping up cold water and going to wash her hands, he hurriedly said, "There is freshly heated hot water in the thermos bottle. Please add a little more."

Meng Xiaoman added some hot water, tested the water temperature, and started washing her hands.

"Today is the winter solstice. I asked Shang Shang to get a pound of pork from Liu Zhiyuan to make dumplings for today."

Meng Xiaoman has never eaten dumplings since he came here, or to be precise since the last life, when the apocalypse broke out. I usually can't think of it, but now that I heard him say it, I immediately became greedy.

The filling of the dumplings is made from shepherd's purse and pork, which is fresh and fragrant. The dipping sauce is minced wild onions and minced garlic added with soy sauce, vinegar, and a splash of hot oil and chili pepper.

A pot of dumplings was eaten up by the two of them. Meng Xiaoman was so stretched that she couldn't even bend down.

Xiao Xiangdong felt a little funny when he saw her bulging belly, "I told you not to eat so much. If you insist on eating, hold on now."

While saying words of blame, he turned around to find the dried hawthorns that had been put away before. He took out a few slices, added a spoonful of honey, and soaked her in hawthorn honey water in an enamel jar.

"Drink something to eat."

Meng Xiaoman took it with crooked eyebrows and said thank you.

I sighed in my heart: I feel comfortable when I have enough to eat and drink, and there are still people waiting on me.

After the winter solstice, it is soon the twelfth lunar month, and the weather is getting colder day by day. The soil underground is frozen, the water is frozen, and the progress of digging the canal is getting slower and slower day by day.

On the 5th of the twelfth lunar month, the brigade finally issued a notice saying that this year's canal digging work would end on the 7th of the twelfth lunar month, and Laba would no longer be working.

With this notice, the gloomy atmosphere has been swept away, and everyone's energy has increased a lot, looking forward to the arrival of Laba.

Meng Xiaoman was also very happy, but this happiness was interrupted by the arrival of her sister-in-law Liu Zhi'er when she was leaving work.
