Perhaps, it's because the food in the pot is too tempting.

The old man didn't insist any longer, and sat down half-pushed and half-sat on the spot.

Li Zhenguang took out a new pair of dishes and chopsticks and placed them in front of him.

"Uncle, come, taste, this is electric eel meat, see if it's delicious. ”

He greeted the old man warmly.

"Good, good. ”

The old man was warmly greeted by Li Zhenguang, and he was a little embarrassed.

Hurriedly took a piece of electric eel meat with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

"Whew! It's delicious, it's so delicious. ”

The old man was amazed.

The meat is firm and springy, and as soon as you bite into it, a lot of juice immediately bursts out, and it is sweet with the burnt aroma that has been exploded in oil, which is very delicious.

The old man felt that he had never eaten such a delicious dish in his life, and today he was blessed.

Under the catalytic effect of food, the relationship between the two gradually became familiar.

"Uncle, come, drink. ”

Li Zhenguang picked up the beer and greeted the other party warmly.

"Come on,. ”

The old man has been on the battlefield for a long time, so he is naturally not to be outdone.

At this time, there is no longer only a pot of electric eels on the table.

Just now, Li Zhenguang took out a lot of bags of cooked food from the space and piled them on the table.

At their feet, in addition to a dozen cans of beer that had already been drunk, there were two dozen unopened beer stacks next to them.

"Xiao Li, why did you come to our shabby?

The old man had already begun to drink a little.

"I'm unemployed, come out and relax. ”

Li Zhenguang smiled slightly and replied.

"Unemployed?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, nodded in understanding, and raised his beer.

"Come on,. Wouldn't you be unemployed? Find a new one. ”

"Dry. ”

At this moment, a small figure flashed by the waterhole.

The old man inadvertently skimmed over.

Suddenly, his expression changed greatly.

He stood up suddenly, walked over quickly, and shouted anxiously: "Niannian, why did you run out? Didn't grandpa say it? If you have something, call grandpa." ”

Li Zhenguang didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly stood up and followed.

When I got closer, my eyes blurred a little for a while.

It was a little girl.

He was only about four or five years old, and he was wearing very old and dirty clothes.

She barely carried a broken back basket bigger than herself.

There were only three potatoes of various sizes, which looked like they had just been dug out of the ground.

She still clutched a large scythe in her hand, but there were faint traces of blood on the handle.

And the little hands, which should be tender, are full of dirt.

The old man hugged the little girl distressedly and helped her put down the basket on her body.

Then, carrying her to the table, he sat down.

He picked up a piece of electric eel meat and fed it gently to her mouth: "Come, eat a delicious piece." ”

As he spoke, his own voice choked.

Li Zhenguang looked up at the sky, only to feel that his vision was a little blurry.

At such an age, he should have lived happily in the warm embrace of his parents.

She, on the other hand, carried a broken basket on her back and looked for food outside.

The scene in front of him made him feel extremely sad.

Turning into the tent, he took out a large carton of milk from the space, unpacked it, and inserted a straw.

Then, he walked out and gently placed it in front of the little girl.

Softly said, "This is milk, drink it slowly." ”

The little girl looked at him nervously and didn't dare to stretch out her hand.

The old man took it and carefully fed it to her: "Thank you, uncle." ”

The little girl thanked her in a milky voice: "Thank you, uncle." ”

Li Zhenguang didn't speak again.

He took out a new pair of chopsticks and put them in front of her.

Then, he picked up a new pair of chopsticks and helped her put the food into the bowl.

The old man picked up the chopsticks, stuffed them into her hand, and gently coaxed: "Eat quickly!"

"Well, thank you, Grandpa, thank you, Uncle. The little girl gulped down.

"Alas!"

The old man sighed and explained to Li Zhenguang: "Her name is Zhao Sinian, and I still gave her name." At that time, it was just one day of birth, because the environment in the village was not good, her mother had postpartum complications, and the high fever did not go away, and it was raining heavily that night, and she was about to die. Her grandfather and dad decided to brave the rain and go down the mountain to the hospital, and I made a special call to ask them to wait outside at the foot of the mountain. However, when they were about to reach the bottom of the mountain, the stone was so slippery that the three of them fell, and although there were two other people who went with them, they did not have time to hold on, and watched them fall。。。。。。 ”

The old man choked up and continued: "When her grandmother got the news, she fell ill all at once. Her grandmother's family lived in the next village, but there was no one left, just an old woman, who came every day to take care of the old and the young. Usually the people in the village help a little more, and they get through it like this. It's just that this child suffers, and he usually lacks food and clothing. Because of the family environment, her friends are not very willing to play with her. Therefore, at a young age, he is very sensible and strong, and he is never willing to trouble others. ”

Speaking of this, he lowered his head and asked the little girl: "Niannian, where is grandma?"

The little girl shook her head and said, "I don't know, I didn't come yesterday." ”

The old man's expression tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "Then what did you eat yesterday?"

The little girl's tears immediately flowed, and she cried.

It can be seen that if she wasn't hungry, how could she go to the field to cut potatoes at her age?

This is because I usually go to the field with adults to help, so I know where my family's land is.

Otherwise, where could she go to find food?

The old man hurriedly coaxed.

Then, with a serious expression, he took out an old mobile phone and made a call: "You hurry up and go to Grandma's house to see what happened?"

After the call, he looked at the little girl worriedly, and did not speak.

Li Zhenguang knew what he was worried about.

However, for a while, I didn't know what to say.

The little girl was in tears as she gulped down.

It could be seen that she was really hungry.

Li Zhenguang looked at her distressedly and kept putting vegetables into her bowl.

Half an hour later, the old man's phone rang.

He quickly answered, "What? Okay, I'll be right over." ”

It turned out that Niannian's grandmother fell ill, but no one knew.

Now the situation is very critical.

Otherwise, if he arranged for his eldest son to come over, it was estimated that something would have happened.

The old man stood up suddenly, and walked quickly to another village.

Li Zhenguang didn't have time to pack his things, so he hurriedly picked up his backpack and followed.

In about twenty minutes, they arrived at Niannian's grandmother's house.

It was already crowded with people, all waiting anxiously.

An old man was sitting in front of the hospital bed, looking at his pulse with a serious expression.

After half a salary, he said helplessly: "The patient is usually overworked, coupled with malnutrition, and now his body is broken, if there is no way, he may not be able to survive today." ”
