Comprehensive experience of time and space

"Dad, take your medicine -" Cuiping walked in slowly holding a bowl of Chinese medicine.

Father Mei was lying on the bed with a pale face, eyes closed, neither speaking nor moving. Upon seeing this, Mei's mother lay on top of him and cried bitterly: "His father! Nothing can happen to you! The boss and Xiaoya have already gone. If something happens to you again, how will I survive?"

Tears flowed from the corners of Mei's father's tightly closed eyes, but he gritted his teeth and refused to cry out. He felt really tired due to natural disasters and man-made disasters. He couldn't hold on anymore, but what should his wife do? What about the children? And Ruohong who is far away in Hangzhou...

Mei's father slowly opened his eyes, looked at his daughter-in-law standing by the bed, and choked with sobs: "Cuiping, give me the medicine."

Cuiping hurriedly stepped forward to help him. Mei's mother wiped her face with her sleeves and helped Cuiping help Mei's father up. Cuiping felt relieved when she saw Mei's father drink up all the medicine, and wiped the spilled medicine on his clothes with a half-worn handkerchief. "Dad, don't think too much and have a good rest. I am responsible for the family affairs. I have arranged the funeral arrangements for my eldest brother and my little sister. They will be laid to rest tomorrow. You need to get well soon, or else Mom is also worried about you, isn’t she?”

Father Mei nodded tiredly after lying down. Mother Mei tucked him in and followed Cuiping out of the room. She happily took Cuiping's hand and said, "Good boy, I've suffered so much for you. When Ruohong comes back, Mom will let him treat you well."

Cuiping smiled and said: "Mom, this is what a daughter-in-law should do. Please take care of your health. There have been a lot of sick people in the village recently. If we are fine, don't go out. Once we get through this period, life will be better."

Mei's mother nodded, looked up, and saw her granddaughter playing in the yard, and sighed: "I don't know when days like this will end. Cuiping, we adults can just eat less, but don't be hungry." Painting, she is still young..." As she said that she couldn't help crying, Cuiping hurriedly persuaded her to go into the house to rest.

A rare flood in a century has submerged all the fields in the village. If they hadn't still had some food stored at home, the family would have been unable to survive long ago. Although Mei's father and Mei's mother were only in their early forties, their bodies had always been strong, but they had suddenly experienced a huge change and had lost everything they had relied on for survival. It was inevitable that they would not be able to bear it. It was at this time that Mei's father contracted dysentery and became ill, and the Mei family's eldest son and youngest daughter also died of sudden illness.

Cuiping, also known as Yunlan, touched Hua'er's head and went into the kitchen to prepare dinner. She had just been here for two days. No wonder Cuiping was so weak when she found Mei Ruohong in the original drama. She didn't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes all day, and she had to work and take care of her parents-in-law and daughter. No matter how healthy her body was, she couldn't bear it. Live.

Who would have thought that at a critical moment for their family's life and death, Mei Ruohong would be hugging everyone in Hangzhou, eating and drinking? What is the "previous life" before the age of sixteen? Don’t you want your wife and daughter from your “previous life”, and don’t even want your parents? After traveling through time so many times, this was the first time she met such a strange person.

When she came here, Mei's father was seriously ill. If he got better all of a sudden, they might not only be shocked, but the whole village would come to ask for medicine and grab it. By then, she wouldn't be able to explain clearly, and they might even be arrested. As a monster. During natural disasters, things that are often talked about during natural disasters should be avoided if possible, and she is also afraid of trouble. So she only prepared slightly better Chinese medicine to let Mei's father recover first, and then slowly recover.

After preparing the meal, Cuiping shouted into the yard, "Hua'er, the meal is ready. Go ask your grandma and uncles and aunts to eat."

"Hey, Mom, I'll go right away." Hua'er dropped the branch in his hand and ran towards Mei's father and mother's room. When he got to the door, he knocked gently and whispered: "Grandma, it's time to eat. "After waiting for a while, Mei Mu opened the door and asked softly: "Grandma, did I disturb Grandpa?"

Mei's mother touched her head lovingly and said with a smile: "Hua'er, good boy, your grandpa is still asleep. Let's go eat."

Hua'er laughed and said, "Grandma, let's go first. I'll go see if the second uncle and the third uncle are back. They went out in the morning."

Mother Mei looked at Hua'er's bouncing back and sighed. The two sons went out early and came back late every day. They didn't know what they were doing. They didn't even care about the funeral affairs of the eldest son and Xiaoya. And their daughter-in-law is not a good person. After the disaster, she hid in the room with her children and didn't care about anything. Cuiping is now supporting the whole family alone.

Cuiping put a few steamed buns and big cakes on the table, but she took a bowl of porridge with almost no grains of rice in it and drank it. Mother Mei looked at so much solid food and couldn't help but said: "Cuiping Ah, our family doesn’t have much food anymore, so... let’s just drink some porridge from now on, this is too wasteful.”

Cuiping gave her a big cake and said: "Mom, second brother and third brother are busy out there every day. They can't get enough to eat porridge. You are not in good health and you can't go hungry. Don't worry, my wife knows it well." ”

What could she, an ordinary farmer's wife, do, but looking at her determined face, Mei's mother couldn't help but want to believe that the pillar of the family had fallen, but she didn't expect that this daughter-in-law would lift her up again. Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the second and third children walking in with serious faces.

Hua'er walked timidly behind, Cuiping waved to her, she quickly came to Cuiping's side, holding the corner of Cuiping's clothes tightly with her little hands. Seeing that she was like this, Cuiping was probably wronged in some way, but it was hard to ask at the moment, so he smiled and gave her a steamed bun and asked her to eat the porridge.

Hua'er had been hungry a lot before, but he had only eaten a little full these two days. When he saw the nest, his eyes lit up, and he stuffed it into his mouth hungrily. Cuiping advised her to slow down while paying attention to the movements of the second and third children.

The second and third children ignored their mother and daughter and knelt down in front of Mei's mother. Mei's mother was startled and stretched out her hand to pull her, but was blocked by the third child. The second child said expressionlessly: "Mom, the third child and I have been running around the village these days. We can't make a living here. We, the only ones with a family, can't stay here anymore for the sake of our children. We have found a way out and will leave early tomorrow morning.”

"What?" Mother Mei dropped her chopsticks to the ground in shock when she heard this, and asked in a trembling voice, "You want to leave? Do both of your families want to leave?"

The third child glanced at the second child and said, "Yes! Mom, there is a disaster now, and we don't know what the situation is like outside. Maybe it's not as good as at home. If you and dad are not in good health, don't bother with us. At home My second brother and I can rest assured that my younger brother and sister will take care of you." As he said that, he turned to look at Cuiping and said, "My younger brother and sister, I will leave it to you. You must take good care of your parents for Ruohong!"

Mei's mother was so angry that she was shaking all over. These two sons said nicely, but she clearly disliked them and didn't want them! She cried and shouted: "You evildoers! If you want to leave, just leave. Just pretend that our Mei family has never raised you wolf cubs!"

The second and third children couldn't bear to see her like this, but thinking about the situation in the village, they still made up their minds, kowtowed to Mei's mother, turned around and left.

Cuiping comforted Mei's mother while observing them with her spiritual consciousness. She saw that the second and third daughters-in-law were still arguing about taking away the family's food, saying that the old, weak, sick and disabled in the family would die sooner or later, and leaving the food would be a waste. Cuiping sneered in his heart, it's not impossible to bring food, it just depends on whether you can swallow it or not!

After clearing away the dishes, she took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and turned the existing steamed buns, flatbreads and other food at home into sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and various strange flavors. Now that there was a famine, the second and third children did not do anything excessive to her. , she would not withhold the food, but it was harmless to vent her anger, so just take it out on Hua'er and Mei's father and Mei's mother.

Early the next morning, the two families, the second and third, left their hometown with all their burdens. Mei's mother hid in her room crying and did not appear. Cuiping promptly added a little strengthening powder to the water she drank, and she was able to support herself. Stayed without falling ill. But having just experienced the pain of losing a son and a daughter, and now being abandoned by her two sons, Mei's mother suddenly aged a lot.

Cuiping arranged a formation for her house to keep the room warm and prevent it from freezing. However, in order not to arouse suspicion, she took apart all the quilts and jackets in the house and put them together, making several clothes and quilts for everyone to use. .

"Mom, when you and dad get better, let's go to Hangzhou to find Ruohong. Hangzhou is so big, nothing can be worse than this. Our fields are flooded, and there is really no way to make a living in the village anymore." A few days later, Cuiping saw that Mei's mother's mood had stabilized, so she proposed to join Mei Ruohong.

Mother Mei thought that apart from the old couple, only Cuiping and her daughter were left at home. They were both thin and weak and indeed could not survive. She sighed and nodded in agreement, "I don't know what happened to Ruohong. I received it last time." His letter was already three years ago, and he didn’t know Hua’er existed yet. He would be extremely happy if he saw that he had such a well-behaved and lovely daughter.”

Cuiping lowered her head pretending to be shy and said, "My wife failed to give Ruohong a son, and I don't know if he will blame me."

"How could it be!" Mother Mei patted her hand and assured: "You are so filial and never leave us two old people. If Ruohong dares to treat you badly, let your father break his legs! "

Cuiping smiled and said: "Ruohong is also very filial. It may be that he has been delayed in the past few years and has not contacted us. He is doing big things and wants to become a great painter. I hope that we will not cause trouble for him when we go to Hangzhou. trouble."

Mother Mei's eyes were full of love when she thought of her little son. Ruohong had been smarter than other children since he was a child. When he was only a teenager, the gentleman in the village said that his talent was immeasurable and advised him to go out and try his best. Now eight years have passed, and maybe he is already a famous painter. "Ruohong won't find us troublesome. We don't know anything else. We are good at cooking and washing clothes. We will help Ruohong take care of it when the time comes." If the housework is taken care of, he can concentrate on his painting! It’s hard for this kid to live alone outside for so many years.”

Cuiping agreed, but in her heart she couldn't help but think of Mei Ruohong's love-hate entanglement with Wang Zixuan and Du Qianqian. She didn't know how far it had developed now. Mei's father and mother were saved by her, but they would be involved in it again. To what effect?
