When Lu Sheige woke up again, it was already noon the next day.

The dazzling sunlight leaked from the cracks in the roof and danced with the dust in the air.

Dazzling and unfamiliar.

When he turned his head, he saw a girl sitting next to him. She was black and thin, with brown hair tied into two small buns, and a pair of big, round eyes that looked a little protruding and scary.

Seeing Lu Xiangge wake up, the girl quickly got up and shouted outside: "Mother, mother...my brother is awake."

younger brother?

What brother?

Lu Xiangge couldn't help but cursed in his heart, "You are just like a younger brother, okay?"

The little girl didn't understand what Lu Shege was thinking, so she ran out as if calling for someone.

Lu Xiangge lay on his back on the bed and looked around blankly.

On both sides were walls made of reed mats, which were plastered with mud, making pits and pits, and straw mixed with the peeling mud could be seen vaguely.

The roof is simply made of wood of different thicknesses, and is covered with dried wild grass.

I don’t know whether it’s because of uneven thickness or years of disrepair, but there is a thread-like light in many places, large or small.

This kind of house is something that even TV dramas would not dare to portray.

"Xiao Si is awake?"

Soon, the curtain was lifted, and a dark and thin woman came into the narrow room, holding an equally skinny baby on her shoulders.

"It's good to wake up, it's good to wake up, God bless you..."

The woman wiped her hands on the apron in front of her and raised her hand to touch Lu Sheige's forehead.

Xiang Ge didn't know how to avoid it, so he let her touch his forehead again and again, and heard her keep mumbling: "God bless me, the fever is gone."

"Who are you?"

Xiang Ge looked at the woman, then at the tall and thin man who was bending down to follow her.

As soon as the two of them entered the house, the small room became more and more crowded, and it seemed that they couldn't move out of the way.

Both of them were dark and thin, with bulging cheekbones, and their tattered clothes looked empty.

It can be seen that life is not easy.

The woman grabbed her apron at a loss, not knowing how to answer. The man behind her squeezed over, carefully squatted in front of Sheo Ge's bed, and said softly: "Xiaosi, I am your father, and this is your mother.

"

The woman nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, I am your mother."

"Father? Mother?"

Lu Shege's eyes widened in shock, what the hell, this joke is not funny at all.

She knew that the current situation was a bit inexplicable. She must have caught up with the traveling army at a certain point.

But this is too shabby!

Lu Sheige pursed his lips: "I..."

After hesitating for a moment, he finally didn't ask what he wanted to ask.

Seeing that Lu Sheige didn't continue, the man breathed a sigh of relief, turned to glare at the girl standing at the door, and then ordered the woman: "Xiaoqing's mother, go and prepare the medicine."

The woman responded in a low voice, and glanced at Lu Sheige again worriedly to make sure that she was really awake and her fever seemed to have subsided, and then she pulled her second daughter, who was peeping at the cabin door, out of the cabin.

Their shack only has one and a half rooms, one for people and one for miscellaneous items.

For cooking, we used a clay stove that we made ourselves. Sometimes it was at the door of the shack, and sometimes it could be raised to the bow of the boat.

It's quite convenient.

"Sister."

Xiao Li and his sister Xiao Yu squatted side by side in front of the clay stove to light the fire, and asked curiously: "Why doesn't Xiao Si recognize his father and mother?"

The day before yesterday, she and her friends went to dig wild vegetables by the river, and when they came back, there was an extra child at home.

When she asked her parents, they said he was her eldest brother, the fourth child in the family. The eldest brother and Xiaoyu were twins. Because he was frail and the only boy in the family at that time, he was raised at his uncle's house.

The past two years have been bad, and my uncle and his whole family were planning to join his aunt's brother, so he sent his eldest brother here.

Xiao Li thought hard and hard, but he couldn't remember whether he had such a younger brother who was raised in his uncle's house.

Asked the eldest sister Xiaoqing, the eldest sister Lu Xiaoqing lowered her head and could not see clearly the expression on her face.

"Sister, eldest sister..." Seeing that the eldest sister lowered her head and said nothing, Xiaoli raised her voice and called twice.

She is the second child in the family, with an eldest sister and a younger sister. Last year a younger brother was added to the family, and this year the eldest brother is back.

I'm afraid that when the time comes, all the delicious food and drinks at home will be given to the eldest brother and the younger brother first, and then to the younger sister. When will it be her turn?

She didn't believe that this was her eldest brother. He was so white, tender, and well-raised. He didn't look like a boy at all, nor did he look like a child raised in the country.

I don’t know how he came here. His uncle’s family raised him so well, so why can’t he even give up his good clothes?

What Xiaosi was wearing was her mother's father's old coat, which she had changed overnight.

Lu Xiaoqing was already fourteen, and she helped take care of her younger brothers and sisters. At this moment, she lowered her head and couldn't see clearly the expression on her face, and said in a low and low voice: "No, I don't remember."

Lu Xiaoli pouted, a little disappointed. How could the eldest sister not remember it? If she was as old as the eldest sister, she would definitely remember it.

Maybe, there really is an elder brother, but she just thought that she was still young and forgot about it!

Mrs. Qiu glanced at her eldest daughter with clear eyes, then at her second daughter who was depressed, and then at her younger daughter who was ignorant and happy. She sighed slightly in her heart, she gave birth to her, of course she knew what the second daughter was thinking.

One more person in the family means one more mouth.

"Xiao Li, your eldest brother has a grudge in his heart."

Qiu placed the medicine jar on the clay stove, added a ladle of water, and after hesitating, added half a ladle more. The doctor told her to boil the medicine twice, and this was already the third time Qiu had boiled it.

This was a medicine bought with money. She was reluctant to boil it twice and throw it away. Instead, she would boil it one more time, then mix the brewed concoction into a new decoction and continue to boil it.

This way it won't be wasted.

Mrs. Qiu speaks softly and slowly, which shows that she is usually a mild-tempered person: "You, the eldest sister, the youngest and the fifth are all following your parents. Although our house is dilapidated and the boat is small, life is not easy in the wind and rain, but you guys

He is with his parents. Xiaosi has been sent to his uncle's house since he was a child. Without his parents to take care of him, he must have resented his parents in his heart."

Xiaoyu nodded confusedly and added smoothly: "Second sister, if I leave you at my uncle's house, would you be willing? Are you angry?"

She would definitely be unwilling and angry to judge others by herself.

Lu Xiaoli hurriedly shook his head: "I don't want to, I'm angry, I won't go to my uncle, I want to be with my parents."

Although my family is poorer, it might be good to be with my parents.

As for the uncle's family he had never met before, Lu Xiaoli didn't remember anything about them.

Thinking that he was with his parents but Xiaosi was sent to his uncle's house, Lu Xiaoli's heart softened and he discussed with his mother in a low voice: "Mom, let's make some fish soup for Xiaosi."

Xiaosi grew up in his uncle's house, which is not close to a lake or a river. It would be difficult for him to eat fish and drink fish soup.

"Okay, when your eldest brother gets better, mother will do it for him."

Seeing that the second girl no longer pouted, Mrs. Qiu's heart dropped slightly. Although the second girl was too strong-willed, her heart was still kind.

I know I feel sorry for my brother.

Mrs. Qiu stirred the medicine pot and looked in the direction of the shack. It was quiet inside, and she didn't know what the master and the baby said!

The head of the family had discussed it with her and planned to keep the baby.

Although their family is living a hard life, they cannot afford to see their children homeless.
