The snow had not stopped until the end of March, and people in the village were already panicking. An old woman secretly hanged herself in the middle of the night in order not to burden her children. When she was found, her body was stiff. Mrs. Liu heard the news
She rolled her eyes and just held Twelve Lang tightly in her arms in a daze. Yuezhen also felt quite miserable and secretly wiped away her tears.
Hungry wild beasts have come down the mountain to attack the lone people and the few livestock left in the village that have not frozen to death. The village chief organized a young man from each family to take turns to patrol. The one who went to the Li family was Li Sanzhi. Although the Liu family
There is nothing I can do to worry and feel distressed. He is the only one in the family who knows some fists and kicks, and he often hunts. He always has more experience than others and has a better chance of survival.
On this day, Li Sanzhi was on day shift. He went out early in the morning and came back in the evening holding a boy about the same age as Wu Lang.
"Go and boil some hot water. This baby is very cold." Li Sanzhi took off the boy's clothes and rubbed the baby's body vigorously, trying to warm him up. Fortunately, there
The baby probably didn't stay frozen for long, and he woke up soon.
"Thank you for saving me,,,"
"Hey, isn't this Hu Zi? What's wrong with him?" Shiro shouted when he saw the baby's face.
"I don't know what happened, but I fainted at the door of my house. Just wait and see, I'll invite Dr. Liu to come and have a look. He's so young, so don't let the cold freeze and leave the root of the disease."
"There's no need to go. I've already asked my fourth brother to ask the doctor to come over." Mrs. Liu opened the door curtain and came in: "You kid, why did you run out alone on this cold day and fainted at the door of the house?
, it’s a good thing that your uncle happened to meet you today, otherwise, how dangerous it would have been!”
"I,,,I came out to ask someone to borrow some rice, grain, and firewood to go home. There was no more firewood at home. I had even eaten all the coarse grains since the day before yesterday, and my mother caught the cold again, so I came out and thought,,,but every household in the village also
There wasn't much, so I didn't borrow it, and I somehow managed to get here." Huzi said with tears welling up in his eyes, but he stubbornly refused to let them flow down. Huzi's original name was Lin Hu, and he is nine years old this year.
, it is said that a large family came to live in Qingshan Village after fleeing famine. His father left home to do small business in other places before he was born. He has not come back yet, and it is not known whether he is dead or alive. His grandparents and uncles
Because of this, he and his mother despised him and his mother and drove them out on the orders of his father and his wife. The village saw how pitiful they were and gave them a thatched hut at the west end of the village that no one wanted.
Only then did they have a place to stay. The mother and son depended on each other and had no land. Life was very difficult. Fortunately, Aunt Lin was good at embroidery, which was why Lin Hu was dragged into such a big deal.
This Lin Hu is also a filial person, very sensible at a young age. He rarely goes out to play with the children in the village, and only helps his mother with some work at home.
"Hey, it's been snowing for so long. It's been very difficult for every household in the village. My child, don't blame others. I still have some coarse grains here. I'll let the doctor check them later and I'll ask your uncle to take you back so that I can give you some.
You use your bundle of firewood. How can you move it in your little family? By the way, I also want the doctor to go to your house to take a look at your mother. Don't be anxious. Your mother has always been in good health. I think she will be fine this time.
It will be fine soon." Ms. Liu was a soft-hearted person, and she loved her children very much. Seeing Lin Hu's pitiful look, she just wanted to move all the things in the house over.
"Mom, you keep talking so much, and you are not afraid of my little brother annoying you. Just now, my little brother also said that the family ran out of food the day before yesterday. It is only serious that you hurry up and get some food for my little brother." Yuezhen opened her eyes.
Lin Hudao looked at Lin Hudao with wide eyes. She had heard her fourth brother mention a little boy named Huzi in the past. She heard that he never interacted with the children in the village. Lian Shilang gave him candy out of curiosity.
He refused them all and was a dull gourd. Now he seems to have a clear tongue, but he is a pitiful person.
"You little bastard." Mrs. Liu smiled and nodded Yuezhen's head, got up and went outside to get something for Huzi to eat.
"Huzi, why didn't you come to my house earlier to get food and firewood? I still have a lot of it!" Shiro patted Lin Hu on the shoulder and said, "You helped me drive away the wild dog that wanted to bite me earlier. I
Didn't I say that we are good brothers? If you need help, please come to me, you know?" Shiro is very restless. He likes to listen to stories about generals and knights. In his heart, anyone who has helped him is a brother.
, I would not hesitate to go to any lengths for my brother.
"Well, I forgot about it for a moment!" Huzi was stunned by Shiro's slap and almost fell off the kang.
"Then you must remember in the future, I will help you with anything." Shiro said. Huzi nodded seriously after hearing this, and Shiro smiled happily.
"Look at your bear-like appearance. What can you do to help others catch up? You still need help to drive away a wild dog!" Li Sanzhi said with a smile. The eldest son has always been sensible and smart, but the third son is also cunning and knows it well.
It’s hard to tell what the younger one is like at the moment. Only the second son is impulsive and has no scheming at all. It seems that he will need more teaching in the future.
"Come on, come on, I don't have anything good here. You haven't eaten in a few days, so drink some porridge to warm your stomach first!" Mrs. Liu brought over a bowl of rice porridge after a while. The three little ones had to eat several times a day.
After a meal, their polished rice paste is always hot, which is just right for Hu Zi to eat.
"Auntie, I'll just eat the steamed buns. I think these polished rice are for the three little brothers!" Huzi took the bowl and saw that it was boiled with polished rice. He knew it must be for the little brothers at home.
Food for babies. Although every household in Qingshan Village has enough food and clothing, no one knows how to eat grains. Most of them eat coarse grains. Although Huzi does not often move around the village, he still knows a little about the trends in the village.
, he knew that the third wife of the Li family was not popular with the family, so such good rice paste must have been made for the third child by Mrs. Liu who cared about her children.
"It's okay. Auntie, there's enough food for the little ones here, so feel free to eat!" Mrs. Liu liked it even more when she saw it. She is a sensible child.
Seeing that Huzi wanted to give sincerely and was really hungry, he stopped refusing. After dinner, Li Laizhi came back with Dr. Liu. There was nothing wrong with Huzi, he was just hungry.
Very good.
Seeing that Huzi was very worried about his mother, Mrs. Liu didn't stay much. After packing ten or twenty kilograms of coarse grains and some home-made steamed buns and a large bowl of rice porridge in a bamboo basket, she went with Li Sanzhi who was holding a bundle of firewood.
Send it to Huzi's house.
Li Sanzhi originally didn't want Mrs. Liu to go out in the snow, but Ms. Liu thought that the Lin family only consisted of mother and son, and she was afraid that it would be inconvenient for Li Sanzhi and Dr. Liu to go there, and it would be even worse if the villagers gossiped.
Li Sanzhi and his wife returned after being away for more than an hour. It turned out that Aunt Lin's situation was already very dangerous. She only relied on doing embroidery to make a living. It was already very difficult, so she couldn't prepare much for winter. Food. Aunt Lin's family had run out of food very early on. She was worried about her son, so she only ate very little food for a living. She had to save all the food to survive until now. Under the combination of hunger and cold, her body had been worked hard for a long time. The underlying pain became apparent.
When Li Sanzhi and his entourage arrived at Lin's house, the Lin family was cold. The mother and son had run out of firewood several days ago and relied on shabby quilts to keep warm. Aunt Lin had already fallen into a coma, so Li Sanzhi and the others could only divide the work. Doctor Liu helped prepare the medicine. , Li Sanzhi helped make the hot porridge, and Mrs. Liu helped take care of Aunt Lin. It took more than an hour of busy work to take care of him, mother and son.
Speaking of which, the uncles of the Lin family can be regarded as cruel. Lin Hu, mother and son, have no relatives except them in Qingshan Village. On weekdays, Aunt Lin rarely goes out because of her husband's absence, and has little contact with the villagers. There was no one close to her. Second Aunt Lin was ill, so Lin Hu had no choice but to shamelessly go to find his grandma, but was kicked out. Such cold-hearted people are really rare. Even Mrs. Liu secretly muttered to Li Sanzhi: At least my mother-in-law doesn't like you anymore. , I also raised you peacefully and did not abandon you directly. Naturally, Li Sanzhi didn't say much about his mother's faults. He smiled bitterly and didn't reply, but he felt somewhat connected to Lin Hu and would treat him in the future. Take even more care.
I am asking for a leave of absence here. I have been busy in the past few days, so I am afraid I cannot update. I hope you will understand!
