Chapter 931 (1/2)
The bitter cold wind is blowing, attacking the passers-by from time to time. The street was silvery white, and the breath of passers-by turned into white smoke.
The piercing cold wind whistling on her face was as painful as a knife cut. Sister Shang shuddered a few times, wrapped her clothes around her, and then accelerated her pace.
Aunt Jia heard a knock on the door and said, ”who is it?” Men go out to fight only their mother and son. Even if the public security here is very good, aunt Jia usually reverses the door. Hearing the voice of aunt Shang, aunt Jia opened the door.
Sister Shang saw aunt Jia, and tears came to her eyes: ”sister-in-law......” I can't say anything else.
Aunt Jia was startled. She reached for her sister-in-law and found her hands cold and cold: ”come in and warm up.”
After entering the house, sister-in-law Shang explained her intention and cried: ”Xiaoqin has a bad fever, but all the money at home has been used up.” There is only such a child left among the four children. If there is another one, it will not take her life.
Aunt Jia knew that she was coming to borrow money. She quickly took three liang of silver from the box and said, ”sister-in-law Qian will take it to Xiaoqin to see a doctor first. If it's not enough, let's find a way.” Aunt Jia bought half the yard firewood because she had money in her hand. As soon as she felt the cold, she burned the Kang, so Erwa was not ill.
”Sister-in-law Shang, moved and guilty, said:” sister-in-law, thank you, thank you She has borrowed money from several companies, none of them.
When sister-in-law Shang went out, aunt Jia took another half old jacket and handed it to her, saying, ”sister-in-law, now Xiaoqin is ill, you can't fall down any more! Otherwise, by whom does the fiddle rest? ” Aunt Jia is a person with the child, afraid of the child over sick, so she is not good to see Xiaoqin.
Sister Shang didn't refuse. She put on her jacket and went out.
Put the door upside down, aunt Jia said to herself, ”I don't know how the leader is?” Li Er Pao and Hu Da all followed Yunqing to fight. Before leaving the army, there were paid men in the army, two liang each. If it wasn't for this accident, these two silver coins would have been enough for sister-in-law Shang and Xiaoqin to have a stable year.
The next morning, aunt Jia got news from sister Hu next door that Xiaoqin had not survived and had gone.
”Sister in law,” said Aunt Jia hurriedly, ”we have to help each other when they go to war.” Xiaoqin is gone, and sister-in-law Shang estimates she's gone for half her life.
Although Mrs. Hu's mouth is broken, she is not that kind of cold-blooded and merciless person. Seeing sister-in-law Shang's way, she also felt sad: ”then you say, how can we help this?” It's OK to work hard, but it's definitely not OK to pay for something. She has two more children to support and can't stand the toss.
Although Mrs. Hu has many small problems and likes to take advantage of them, she has a heart and a lung for her two children. She has raised them well. When fleeing, I would rather not eat by myself than let the children have enough first. The two children have a good foundation. They also suffered a little cold in this sudden change of weather. They just drank two bowls of ginger and sugar water.
”Go to the coffin shop first and buy two boards to bury the Qin,” said Aunt Jia. ”We'll talk about it later!” A child who dies young can't use a coffin. It's good to make a wooden box with a board. Many of them were buried outside with straw mats.
After Xiaoqin was buried, aunt Jia brought sister-in-law Shang to her home so that she could not stay in the original house more sad. Aunt Jia held aunt Shang's hand and said softly, ”sister in law, if you want to open up a little bit, we'll all come here for so many ditches and ridges, and we'll certainly be able to pass this time.” Xiaoqin also lost her body when she escaped. She didn't make up after settling in the northwest. She was too weak. The weather changes so suddenly that the body can't stand it.
When Mrs. Shang heard this, she burst into tears: ”I have only ah Qin, and he will take ah Qin away. God, why are you so cruel? Why don't you give me a way? ” If she doesn't still remember her husband, sister-in-law Shang really wants to go with her daughter.
Like Mrs. Shang, there are few lost children in the northwest, but they are everywhere in Shanxi and Henan.
Since the snow, the folds on the place fly to Yuxi's desk like snow. These are basically about the disaster and complaint. There are too many people who are ill, let alone children who can't bear it, that is to say, many adults can't bear it, so medicinal materials are extremely scarce.
Yuxi put down a letter and smiled bitterly. Before the drought, Yuxi had stored a lot of medicinal materials, but most of them were distributed to various barracks, and some of them were left in the warehouse for emergency. No matter how kind-hearted Yuxi is, he can't get rid of this part of herbs. But looking at these people did not die of famine, but died of disease, Yuxi heart can not say the pain.
Meilan brought a food box and said, ”princess, mother Quan has made you soup.” Mother Quan will make a night for Yuxi every night. Because Yuxi is very thin now, she can eat anything. After eating for a while, Yuxi looks much better than before.
Yuxi actually had no appetite, but she didn't refuse all Mammy's kindness. Qi Hao, who was playing on the carpet, smelled the fragrance and cried happily, ”Mom, Xiangxiang, I want to eat.” Qi Hao is taken to his study. When he is hungry, he pees and starts shouting. Other times, he either listens to Yuxi's discussion with others or plays his little game with great concentration. He is very clever.
The soybeans are rotten. It's no problem to swallow them without chewing them. So Yuxi didn't have any scruples. He scooped a spoon and fed it to Qihao.
Qihao prefers meat, but he eats fruits and vegetables, which is better than jujube and liuer. After eating a mouthful, excitedly cried: ”Niang, even.”
