Wake up suddenly, back to the time when my wife and daughter had an accident

Meng Haisheng stayed at Meng Guangzhu's house for a long time before returning to his home in a hurry.

In the house, Lin Mucheng had already put the dumplings on the table and covered them with a plate, as if she was afraid that they would cool down. She opened the plate when she saw Meng Haisheng coming back.

"Momo was hungry just now, so I let Momo eat first."

"Well, I talked to my parents for a while, you should eat quickly, it's all cold."

There were two plates of dumplings on the table, one with obviously more on Meng Haisheng's side, and the other with less on Lin Mucheng.

"Mucheng, you are too thin, you should eat more."

Meng Haisheng took the initiative to share some dumplings with Lin Mucheng. He felt that she was an adult, how could she be full with so many dumplings.

Lin Mucheng looked at Meng Haisheng taking the initiative to pick up dumplings for her, and her hand holding the chopsticks paused.

"This is my pickled cucumber."

Lin Mucheng pushed a plate of crispy cucumbers mixed with sesame oil, red peppers and garlic slices to Meng Haisheng, and lowered his head to eat dumplings silently.

Momo, who had eaten dumplings, was dozing off. She leaned against the quilt and was drowsy, mumbling about eating dumplings from time to time.

Meng Haisheng looked at Momo with a smile, then picked up a piece of green cucumber and took a bite. The cucumber in his mouth had a slight spicy taste and a little sweetness. It tasted very crisp and delicious.

"Mucheng, you are really good at cooking. I have never eaten such delicious pickled cucumbers." Meng Haisheng picked up another cucumber strip. He felt like he couldn't stop eating.

"How can a plate of pickled cucumbers be delicious?" Lin Mucheng was a little embarrassed and didn't dare to look up at Meng Haisheng.

An idea suddenly appeared in Meng Haisheng's mind.

When he went to the county to sell Bupleurum, could he bring some of Lin Mucheng's pickled cucumbers? Although it was summer, cucumbers pickled with salt were not easy to spoil, so it was a good idea to sell them early in the morning.

Then Meng Haisheng told Lin Mucheng his idea.

"You want to dig Bupleurum to sell, and you also want to sell pickled cucumbers. Isn't this speculation? If you are caught, you will go to jail."

Meng Haisheng shook his head. "This is not speculation, and I have not affected the prices set by the country."

"Now the country is calling on everyone to develop in all directions. We must also respond to the country's call and cannot just look at our own land."

Lin Mucheng felt uneasy when he saw Meng Haisheng's confident look.

As night fell, Meng Haisheng, who was tired all day, soaked his feet. After walking all day, his feet were almost numb.

"Brother Haisheng, are you home?"

Lin Mucheng's heart suddenly tightened when he heard the voice outside the door calling someone. The person who called Meng Haisheng was none other than Lang Chen, who often played cards with him.

"I'm at home." Meng Haisheng wiped his feet, put on his slippers and went to the yard.

At this moment, Lin Mucheng, who was sitting on the kang, was tense. "Meng Haisheng, don't let me down." In the past, whenever Lang Chen came to call Meng Haisheng, they would definitely go to play cards together. This game often lasted all night.

Lin Mucheng was a young woman, and it was impossible for her not to be afraid when she was alone at home with Momo.

Unfortunately, Meng Haisheng didn't know what it meant to feel sorry for his wife, and he always thought playing cards was more important.

Once, Momo had a fever in the middle of the night.

Lin Mucheng was alone at home and had no choice but to bite the bullet and take Momo to the village doctor's house for an injection alone in the dark night.

That night, Momo had a high fever and Lin Mucheng even thought that if Momo died, she would not live either.

There was a creaking sound of the door closing.

Lin Mucheng looked at the dark yard in despair. Everything today was a lie. How could Meng Haisheng change for the better?

Lin Mucheng wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes fiercely and bit his lips tightly to prevent himself from crying out loud.

Outside the gate, Lang Chen handed Meng Haisheng a cigarette.

"Haisheng, I set up a card game. Let's go play a few rounds for fun. It's so hot and I can't sleep at home."

"I don't smoke anymore. Lang Chen, don't ask me to play cards in the future. My wife is pregnant again and I have to make money to support the family."

"Brother, why are you still talking to me about these polite words? Haisheng, I heard that you sold a lot of cucumbers today."

"You have money in your hand. It's a shame not to come out and play a few rounds. What's more, if you win today, playing poker for a while may make more money than the cucumbers you sell."

Lang Chen tried hard to persuade Meng Haisheng, but Meng Haisheng was unmoved.

"Okay, don't play cards all the time. Be careful that you will get poorer and poorer."

After Lin Mucheng died in his previous life, Meng Haisheng left the village. When he came back, Lang Chen was arrested for gambling.

At that time, the crackdown was severe. He gambled a large amount and was shot directly.

Because they were brothers,For the sake of the scene, Meng Haisheng still wanted to help Lang Chen.

Unfortunately, Lang Chen didn't appreciate it.

"Haishen, what are you talking about? If you don't want to come, then don't come. Why are you cursing me? It's really unlucky."

Lang Chen saw that Meng Haisheng didn't go to play cards, and left impatiently.

Meng Haisheng sighed. After being reborn, he could change some people and some things, but he was powerless to change some things.

After closing the courtyard door and locking it, Meng Haisheng saw Lin Mucheng's red eyes as soon as he entered the room.

"What's wrong?"

In the dim candlelight, Lin Mucheng's fragile appearance suddenly touched the string in Meng Haisheng's heart.

Seeing that Meng Haisheng didn't go out to play cards, Lin Mucheng quickly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Why didn't you go out to play cards."

"Mucheng, I said that I would live a good life with you in the future and never play cards again."

Meng Haisheng climbed onto the bed and sat next to Momo.

The little one was tired from running during the day and went to bed early at night.

Lin Mucheng spread out the mattress on the kang and prepared to sleep.

But Meng Haisheng was standing there, so she didn't dare to sleep.

Since Lin Mucheng found out she was pregnant last month, the two of them slept in separate rooms, and Meng Haisheng moved to the west room.

First, Meng Haisheng always came back in the middle of the night and always woke Momo up.

Second, it was to prevent Meng Haisheng from doing something radical. She was still pregnant and couldn't stand his tossing.

Now Meng Haisheng stared at Lin Mucheng, and she was scared.

"Go to the west room and sleep quickly. Didn't you say you were going to the mountain to dig Bupleurum tomorrow morning?"

"No, I'm not going to the west room."

Meng Haisheng spread out the mattress himself and put Momo between them.

"I'll sleep over here."

Meng Haisheng took his pillow and put it away, and lay down as soon as he blew out the candle.

After a long while, Lin Mucheng on the other side finally lay down.

The village had electricity restrictions, and the villagers who had been busy all day blew out their candles and rested early.

The sound of dogs barking and cicadas occasionally came from the quiet village.

Meng Haisheng lay on the kang with his eyes closed. He thought he would suffer from insomnia.

But the sound of insects outside the window seemed like a lullaby, and Meng Haisheng fell asleep in a short while.

He was really exhausted that day.

Lin Mucheng, who was full of tension, was relieved when she heard Meng Haisheng's long breathing.

She gently stroked her flat belly, and she couldn't tell the feeling in her heart.

She had been living in the abyss, and finally saw a glimmer of hope today.

She was not sure whether Meng Haisheng was just in a momentary mood today, or if he really turned back.

The past scenes flashed through Lin Mucheng's mind, and in all kinds of random thoughts, Lin Mucheng also fell asleep.

On the other side, Liang Xiaocui was very unhappy after being scolded by Meng Haisheng during the day.

"Guanghe, how about we pick some cucumbers and tomatoes early tomorrow morning and sell them in Haiqing Town."

"Tomorrow there is no market, how can we sell them?"

Meng Guanghe heard that Meng Haisheng's cucumbers sold for 20 cents per pound, and to be honest, he was a little tempted.

Usually, his cucumbers and tomatoes were sold for 8 cents or 10 cents at the market in Muping Town, and he had never sold them for 20 cents per pound.

"If there is no market, we will bring less. If we can sell them at a high price, even if we sell a little less, we will still make a lot of money."

Meng Guanghe heard that this made sense.

He Meng Haisheng, a young boy, could sell more than 200 kilograms of cucumbers at a time. How could he, his uncle, sell less than him?

So before dawn the next day, the two of them picked half a basket of cucumbers and half a basket of tomatoes with flashlights.

As soon as it was dawn, Meng Guanghe pushed the cart towards Haiqing Town.

The cart he pushed weighed more than 100 kilograms, and after only halfway through, Meng Guanghe was too tired to walk.

He wanted to follow Meng Haisheng's example and stop a tractor to take him a distance.

But he stood by the roadside and watched many tractors pass by, but none of them stopped.

Seeing that it was getting late, Meng Guanghe did not dare to wait for the tractor, so he could only push the cart and continue on his way.
