Bingkun originally didn't want to give it, but when he was hesitating, he saw his father and brother looking at him, as if waiting for his decision, which made him feel a little angry.
Why don't you two say anything and just look at me like this? What does this mean?
Bingkun was a little childish. He felt that he had been underestimated by his father and brother, so he angrily took out the last bun from the paper bag and forcefully stuffed it into Wang Yue's hand with his eyes closed, not daring to look at the last bun.
.
Probably because he felt that what he had just done was too rude, Bingkun opened his eyes to see Wang Yue's condition, but found that Wang Yue was looking at him with questioning eyes.
Bingkun felt like he was being looked down upon, so he said dissatisfiedly, "This is the last one, and neither my mother nor my sister have to eat it."
Wang Yue looked at Zhou Bingkun's reluctant look and was a little hesitant. After all, he had already eaten two of the three buns, and he was too embarrassed to take the last one.
Instead, Wang Yue has now regained some strength after passing two big buns, and is no longer as limp as when he first arrived.
The older boy saw Wang Yue's hesitation, and he admired Wang Yue very much. After all, not everyone could be like Wang Yue at this time and consider others.
So, the big boy smiled and said to Wang Yue, "You can eat it. We will eat it again when we have the opportunity. Only when you are full can you have the strength to deal with your parents' funeral affairs."
The middle-aged man was very satisfied with his two sons. He felt proud of them. After listening to the eldest son's words, he nodded and urged Wang Yue, "Son, feel free to eat.
Bingyi is right, you will have strength only when you are full, and your parents are still waiting on the ground."
When Wang Yue heard what the uncle said, he was no longer polite. He didn't gobble it up this time. He put the bun to his mouth and took a bite. Then he asked vaguely, "Uncle, I haven't asked you what your name is yet."
?”
The uncle looked at Wang Yue's firm eyes and knew that the child had kept their help in mind, which made him feel very satisfied. It didn't matter if he spent a lot of money on doing good things, for fear of meeting that kind of greedy white-eyed wolf.
Now seeing Wang Yue's expression of repaying his kindness, the uncle said happily, "My surname is Zhou. You can just call me Uncle Zhou. You can eat quickly. After eating, we will also discuss how to help you.
Deal with your parents’ funeral affairs.”
Wang Yue saw that the uncle named Zhou was unwilling to say his name, so he didn't force it. It was enough to remember the names of his two sons. After finishing the work, he secretly followed the three of them and found their home.
…
Wang Yue didn't know how to handle the funeral procedures at this time. Fortunately, Uncle Zhou and his two sons helped. The four of them were busy for most of the day before cremating the bodies of Wang Yue's parents. His station was in Zhou
Under the watchful eyes of the uncle, father and son, they slowly walked outside Jichun City.
It's not that Wang Yue is in a hurry to go back, the main reason is that he seems to remember that that special period is coming soon, and it is better to go back to his hometown to stay safe no matter where he stays.
However, before going back, Wang Yue still felt that he had to find out where the Zhou family was. After all, there was no Internet now. Even if he wanted to repay his kindness in the future, he probably wouldn't be able to find anyone to go to.
What Wang Yue didn't expect was that he thought he had done it secretly enough, but after he quietly turned back and followed him to the door of Photon Pian Zhou's house, he was discovered by Uncle Zhou.
It's not that Wang Yue's tracking level has dropped, it's just that his current condition is not very good. When following behind, even if he is on tiptoe, his feet can't make any noise.
In addition, the snow had just fallen, there were almost no pedestrians on the street, and the prince's thin figure was also somewhat obvious.
Uncle Zhou originally thought he was being followed by those restless people, but he was relieved when he saw that it was Wang Yue who followed them back.
After Wang Yue was discovered, he was quite embarrassed. After all, the other party had just helped him, and his behavior was indeed not very good, so he hesitated and wanted to organize his words.
Uncle Zhou didn't know what Wang Yue was hesitating about, so he thought it was snowing and Wang Yue wanted to stay at their house. He stood at the door of his courtyard and said awkwardly, "Xiao Yue! It's not that uncle won't help.
You, my family is really too big to accommodate you."
Wang Yue didn't expect to be misunderstood. He didn't understand Uncle Zhou's clear statement. Not to mention that they were not familiar with each other, but the uncle's house was not very big, and Bingkun said that he had a sister at home.
Mom, he knew that he probably couldn't live in it.
Thinking of this, Wang Yue was about to explain, but at this moment, the door of the courtyard opened. Not long after, a beautiful little girl emerged from behind Uncle Zhou.
Seeing this little girl, Wang Yue suddenly thought that Uncle Zhou's firm refusal could be because of the little girl, right?
The girl didn't know what Wang Yue was thinking. She glanced at Wang Yue and asked doubtfully, "Dad, who is he? Do you know him?"
Wang Yue, who wanted to understand what was going on, quickly shook his head and said, "Uncle Zhou, no need, I'll just recognize the door and leave right away."
When Uncle Zhou heard what Wang Yue said, he immediately understood what Wang Yue meant. He also recognized Wang Yue more in his heart. It is not easy for a child to have such an image, but his family's earthen house now has five
We have a family and our daughter is getting older, so it’s really not very convenient.
While the three of them were talking, everyone in the room came out. Wang Yue looked through the gap in the wall and saw Zhou Bingkun and Zhou Bingyi accompanying a middle-aged woman coming out of the room one after another.
The little girl saw the three people coming out, and without waiting for her father's answer, she quickly asked Zhou Bingyi, "Brother, is this the child you helped today?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhou Bingyi reached out and touched his sister's little head, and then said helplessly, "Rong Rong, don't look at Wang Yue who looks small, but he is the same age as you."
Year-old."
When Zhou Rong heard what Zhou Bingyi said, she looked at Wang Yue carefully. She still didn't quite believe it, but looking at Wang Yue's sallow face, she thought it might be true.
For a moment, Zhou Rong felt that Wang Yue was so pitiful, so she said to her father, "Dad, why don't you lie on the kang where I share the bed with mom today, and let him leave tomorrow? It's quite late now."
Yes, it’s still snowing.”
After hearing what her daughter said, Zhou's mother looked at Wang Yue, who was sallow and skinny, and tried to persuade her, "Zhigang, why don't you just listen to the second brother? It's only for one night, just deal with it."
Zhou Zhigang heard his wife and children say this, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be okay, so he nodded in agreement.
In fact, it's not that he has no sympathy. If he didn't have sympathy, he wouldn't help. He also helped pay for Wang Yue to deal with his parents' funeral, but he was really worried that Wang Yue would rely on their family. After all, this kind of thing doesn't happen.
With Zhou Zhigang's small salary, it is already not easy to support such a large family. If there is another half-grown man added to the family, he will really not be able to withstand it.
Wang Yue also saw what Zhou Zhigang meant, but he didn't blame him. After all, no one is rich in these days, and who is willing to help other people raise their children?
…
The two Zhou family members and three children were very kind to Wang Yue. They were so full that Wang Yue had a meal at Zhou's house and had a good sleep.
Early the next morning, Wang Yue wore Zhou Bingkun's old clothes, carried a small bag containing two urns, sat on Zhou Bingkun's bicycle, and walked towards the north of the city.
Wang Yue originally thought that Uncle Zhou was sending him out of the city, so he hurried back on foot. Who knew that Uncle Zhou had sent him all the way to the village? Seeing that Wang Yue and the neighbors were familiar with each other, he hurried there.
Rush back.
Wang Yue was really moved by Uncle Zhou this time. You must know that this is a road of more than a hundred miles, and it is a snowy day. Most people will definitely not ride a bicycle and just send people back.
In Wangjiatun, where Wang Yue is located, every household goes out to beg for food. After all, it is almost impossible to borrow food these days. Even several members of the old village chief's family have to go out to beg for food.
The old village chief was a little surprised that Wang Yue was sent back alone. In his opinion, Wang Yue's parents were young and strong and could not withstand being outside, so they would definitely be able to come back.
Just seeing Wang Yue come back alone, carrying a broken schoolbag, and no sign of Wang Yue's parents, made him feel something bad, so he quickly followed Wang Yue back home to ask about the situation.
Of course, Wang Yue didn't hide anything. When the old village chief came to his home, he also told the old village chief about his parents' situation. After all, he needed the old village chief's help in organizing the burial.
What Wang Yue didn't expect was that after hearing this, the old village chief suddenly sighed and said something that made him not sure whether he should be sad or happy.
The old village chief said this, "Your parents love their children. We don't know how many people will starve to death in this winter. Before you left, I told your parents about the approximate rations that can be divided. Unexpectedly,
You also got into trouble, and your parents starved themselves to death, leaving all the food for you."
It wasn't until Wang Yue buried his parents' ashes, received food from the brigade, and returned home that he realized that there was only enough food for one person to eat until next year's food came out, but he still wouldn't be full.
Only then did Wang Yue realize that the death of his parents was not that simple.
To understand, Wang Yue had no choice. After all, he came too late. Even though he had high medical skills, he could not save the dead.
…
In the days that followed, some people who had gone out in the village rushed back one after another. Of course, most of them were in the same family when they left, and there were a few less when they came back.
He was better off with Wang Yue's family. After hearing about Wang Yue's family, he came to Wang Yue's house to sit there. After all, there were at least adults in other families, but Wang Yue's family was so alone.
As the weather got colder, the situation became less frequent, which made Wang Yue feel relieved.
…
Wang Yue's current goal is also very clear. He must first take good care of his body before he can think about other things. However, it is definitely impossible to rely on the sweet potatoes and other whole grains at home, so he can only practice his martial arts.
It's just that practicing martial arts has a drawback, which causes Wang Yue's family to consume these coarse grains faster, and they won't be able to survive the winter if they continue like this.
However, Wang Yue didn't care. He felt that after recovering, he would always be able to find a way.
After a month or two of keeping up like this, Wang Yue's body finally looked like a normal half-grown boy, but he was still very thin.
Looking at the food at home, if he could not continue to eat like this, Wang Yue could only take advantage of the good weather to try his luck in the nearby mountains.
On the first day, Wang Yue ran out excitedly. In the end, he came back empty-handed and didn't catch a prey. However, he found a good mountain peach tree. He spent a lot of effort and finally broke a tree.
After returning from the festival, I went to the former butcher's house in the village and exchanged more than ten kilograms of sweet potatoes for a piece of beef tendon that his family was going to cook and eat. I kneaded it back and made a bow.
After working hard for several days, Wang Yue finally made a long bow and used the ground bones to make more than a dozen feather arrows. Wang Yue went up the mountain again.
It’s not that Wang Yue has degenerated into a primitive man, but because during the steelmaking operation two years ago, all the ironware in the rural villages was handed over. Now the pots used for cooking are all made of ceramics. It’s hard to find iron.
Easy.
Of course, Wang Yue had nowhere to find scrap metal to make arrowheads. If he could find a sharp bone, it would be good, and he had no right to be picky.
…
In fact, there is only one corner in Wangjia Village next to the foot of the mountain, and they can also go up the mountain to cut firewood, because many young people want to go to the mountain, and prey is too rare. After Wang Yue went up the mountain here, he couldn't find it even after walking a long way.
prey.
There was really no other way, so Wang Yue walked deeper into the mountain. As expected, he found traces of some small animal activities.
After Wang Yue brought two sweet potatoes and ate them, he also caught two wild rabbits. He was not greedy for success and went back that night.
In this way, Wang Yue began a period of going out early and returning home late, eating meat secretly at night, and his body became stronger day by day.
In other words, Wang Yue finally has some flesh on his body, and is no longer in the skinny state that could kill him at any time.
Wang Yue's good days finally came to an end in the spring of the next year, because spring wheat began to be planted and everyone had to go to work. He had no time to go out and run around. It was also the first time that he experienced the depression of collective labor.
.
It's not that there's anything sneaky about it. Everyone is anxious to plant the seeds brought by the village director as soon as possible. After all, no one knows whether there will be another severe drought this year. While the weather is okay now, we should plant it as soon as possible.
Just let the seeds germinate. Many families are counting on sweet potatoes to survive?
Because of this, the villagers were desperate to work. Before dawn, Wang Yue was summoned to go to the fields together. They worked until it was dark, and then went back with aches all over.
Fortunately, Wang Yue has become stronger this winter, otherwise he would definitely be useless if he continued like this.
After the busy farming season was over, Wang Yue felt that he could not go on like this. He thought that with his skills, he could go to those machinery factories to give guidance like in the novel, and maybe he could find a job recruitment quota, so he got rid of his current job.
Farm work days.
So during the slack period, Wang Yue asked for leave from the club director and said he would visit Zhou's house. The club director agreed after thinking about it for a while.
The reason why the club director agreed to Wang Yue's departure was because during the off-season, one person would get less work points if he left, and others would not have any objections. Moreover, he remembered that someone sent Wang Yue back last year, and he really needed to thank him.
Wang Yue came outside the village, took out the two rabbits he had prepared from the hole in the ditch, and walked towards Jichun City with them.
When I returned to Wangjiatun, I was accompanied by my father Zhou. Although you felt far away, the conversation between the two did not feel slow. However, this time he went out early in the morning and arrived at Zhou's house when it got dark.
At this time, the Zhou family was having dinner. When they saw Wang Yue coming over, they were all surprised. It had been a long time since Wang Yue came home. Little Zhou Rong thought their three buns were meat buns that had beaten dogs.
.
The reason why Zhou Rong complained so much was because she later heard that Wang Yue ate all the three buns brought back by Zhou Rong and left none for her.
Seeing that the little girl seemed unhappy, Wang Yue didn't know what was going on, so he took out the two rabbits from the tattered schoolbag given to him by Zhou Bingkun behind him and put them on the Kang table.
When Father Zhou saw this scene, he looked at Wang Yue with admiration, but he knew that Wang Yue was not easy, so he repeatedly postponed and said, "The fact that you can come to see us proves that you are very caring. What else do you bring?"
Mrs. Zhou was also startled by the two rabbits, and she quickly said, "That's right, you came here, why did you bring such valuable things?"
Wang Yue smiled and said nonchalantly, "This is a rabbit I went to hunt in the mountains when I was free. It's not worth much if I get it for free."
Zhou Bingkun and Zhou Rong's eyes widened when they saw the two rabbits. Although their family was not hungry, it was quite difficult to eat meat. Except during the holidays, it would be difficult to have a bite. Otherwise, Zhou Rong would also
I won't be so resentful of that bun.
Zhou Bingyi's focus was different, but he asked very unexpectedly, "Xiao Yue, I heard that the countryside is not busy with farming now? How come you still have time to hunt?"
Father Zhou came from the countryside, but he knew a little bit about it, so he smiled and scolded Zhou Bingyi, "To learn something, you have to be down-to-earth. Farming has been busy recently, but because of the disaster, the people have been frightened. I want to take advantage of the recent weather."
When the weather is good, the seeds are planted in advance, so it must be early."
After Father Zhou finished speaking, he asked his wife to buy more bowls and chopsticks, and called Wang Yue to sit down and eat quickly.
After the group sat down, everyone chatted about their recent experiences while eating.
Zhou Rong listened for a long time, but asked with some confusion, "What you said is very exciting, but don't you need to go to school?"
As soon as Zhou Rong finished speaking, Zhou Bingyi and Father Zhou both yelled loudly at the same time. After all, they all knew about Wang Yue's situation, but Zhou Rong seemed to have ignored it.
Wang Yue waved his hand indifferently, and said very calmly, "There are not many people who can read in the village. I want to learn it, so I can learn it somewhere. There is a school in the town, but the tuition is a bit expensive. I'll wait until next year.
Okay, I’ll go again.”
When Zhou Bingkun heard what Wang Yue said, he felt that Wang Yue was too pitiful. After thinking about it, he moved out his small box, found the dictionary he used, stuffed it into Wang Yue's schoolbag, and then said with a smile, "
I'll teach you how to use it tomorrow. You can read the dictionary and recognize the words first."
Everyone in the Zhou family looked at Zhou Bingkun. They didn't expect their old man to be so grand. You know this dictionary, Zhou Bingkun and the baby were so tight, they didn't expect to take it out.
However, after all, they were all members of the family, and they were afraid that Zhou Bingkun would lose face, so they did not speak out. Moreover, they were also happy to see Zhou Bingkun behave like this. They did not want such a smart child like Wang Yue to become illiterate.
Wang Yue knew that this family was kind-hearted and he also wanted to have friendship with this family, so he didn't say anything else. He originally needed a reason to learn how to read, so he nodded politely.
With this exchange of courtesy, we became more intimate with each other, and the atmosphere of chatting at night became better. I don’t know how long we talked before we all lay down on the kang and fell asleep.
