Chapter 243
Zhang Xiaohu first instructed everyone to concentrate the corpses in a remote place to avoid the epidemic of the plague, and then in a higher place, they used what they had to build a row of shacks, at least to ensure that the women and children rested and kept warm. The next problem is to eat and drink, the village has been drinking well water, God knows whether the groundwater was polluted during the earthquake, but now there seems to be no other way, so I have to put it up and put it aside for a few hours, and then boil it to drink, it should not be a big problem; most of the food is buried underneath, so we have to solve it together, or dig up to find the grain buried underneath, or hunt some living animals......
Under Zhang Xiaohu's well-organized arrangement, everyone's hearts have finally settled down, although they are still immersed in the grief of the destruction of their homes and the loss of their loved ones, but the luck of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe also makes them cherish life even more!
Now that the Spring Festival has just ended, there is not much to hunt in the mountains, and a lot of grain buried in the ground cannot be taken out at all, and those huge stones cannot be moved by human beings at all. The food is soon not enough, so we can only take care of the elderly and children first, everyone's mood is slowly anxious, Zhang Xiaohu is racking his brains to find a way at the same time, but also to comfort everyone from time to time......
Zhang Xiaohu stood restlessly at the entrance of the village, his stomach was already growling with hunger, and he was even a little dazzled from time to time, he knew that if he couldn't find anything to eat, many people would not be able to hold on, once it was really messy, the consequences would be unimaginable, but where was there anything to eat?
He Manzi came to his side gently.
"Is Jianhao asleep?" asked Zhang Xiaohu.
He Manzi nodded, took out a piece of roasted sweet potato from under his shirt and handed it to Zhang Xiaohu.
"Where did you come from?" asked Zhang Xiaohu.
"You eat, anyway, it's not stealing from others, it's not robbing!" He Manzi said with a smile.
"Did you keep it or not?" Zhang Xiaohu asked.
"I'm a woman, and I don't need any physical strength, just eat enough!" He Manzi said embarrassedly.
Zhang Xiaohu sighed, took the sweet potato and broke it in half, handed the big half to He Manzi, and said, "Okay, half for one person!"
He Manzi snatched the small one in disgust and stuffed the big one into Zhang Xiaohu's hand.
Zhang Xiaohu shook his head helplessly, so he had to eat.
"Alas, it's the first time I think roasted sweet potatoes are so delicious!" Zhang Xiaohu said with a smile.
"yes, I think so, let's get enough to eat when we get home!"
"Okay, I'll invite you!" Zhang Xiaohu said with a smile.
Most of the sweet potatoes were eaten quickly, Zhang Xiaohu looked at the remaining half in his hand, gritted his teeth, and turned around and walked towards the village.
"Why are you going?"
Zhang Xiaohu sighed and said, "Some people are almost hungry, give them this!"
"Use me to give it, you can eat it!" He Manzi said, holding up the sweet potato in his hand.
Zhang Xiaohu wanted to speak again, but several children ran over from afar, shouting as they ran: "The People's Liberation Army is coming, the People's Liberation Army is coming, ...... is coming."
Zhang Xiaohu raised his head in surprise, and sure enough, in the distance, the olive green finally appeared......
He Manzi finally returned home, she led Jianhao to open the door, only to find that the two old men were sitting on the sofa looking at her with wide eyes and stunned.
He Manzi smiled slightly and said, "Mom, we're back!"
Only then did the two old men react, and they hurried over together and pulled He Manzi to look left and right.
"You kid, why don't you make a phone call?"
"Alas, what about Xiaohu?" the two mothers suddenly realized that Xiaohu had not returned, and the hearts they had just put down hung again.
"At first, there was no signal on the phone, but when I went out of the disaster area, the phone was out of battery, and I thought it would be almost home anyway, so I didn't call, Xiaohu was a volunteer in the disaster area, and it might take a while to come back. ”
The hearts of the two mothers finally relaxed.
Zhang's mother said: "Alas, Manzi, you are in a hurry to kill us, why do you say that it is so coincidental, it happened that there was an earthquake when you went?
"Yes!" He's mother also said, "Manzi, how is the situation over there, I watched TV and said that this disaster is very serious!"
He Manzi shook his head miserably and said, "Mom, it's too miserable, it's really miserable!"
The two mothers sighed together.
"Huh?" Zhang's mother suddenly asked as if she remembered something, "Why did this child come back again?"
"His grandparents were gone, so I had to bring him back. He Manzi sighed and said.
"That'...... So what will he do in the future?" asked Zhang's mother worriedly.
"He still has a grandmother, and he doesn't know if he wants to accept him, let's discuss this matter when Xiaohu comes back!
"...... Milk. Xiao Jianhao shouted in a milky voice.
"Alas. Zhang's mother reluctantly agreed.
"Isn't the Xiao family the only seedling?" asked Mama He with a frown.
He Manzi nodded lightly.
Mother He sighed and held the child in her arms......
Since Xiao Tianyang's parents have passed away, He Manzi showed Xiao Tianyang's suicide note, and signed for his body donation procedures, which can be regarded as a wish of Xiao Tianyang.
He Manzi looked at the big red book in his hand, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, now Xiao Tianyang left only Xiao Jianhao and this big red book in the world, when the child grows up in the future, how can he say it to him? Is his father a good person or a bad person? Maybe the boundaries between good people and bad people are difficult to understand, maybe there is a judgment in the child's heart, right?
Gao Haoyu can already walk around on his own like an ordinary person, but he can't do strenuous exercise yet.
The three of them sat together, and they were also embarrassed about the earthquake, and while paying attention, they could only do their best to donate some clothes and money......
He Manzi pays attention to the progress of earthquake relief on TV every day, and I believe that everyone who watches TV does not have He Manzi's mood. It is impossible for TV to broadcast too cruel pictures, so no matter how much people care and sympathize, they only stay in imagination, but that kind of cruel picture is He Manzi has seen with her own eyes, she really denounces the discomfort of the bone marrow, and she cares from the bottom of her heart, and she can't wait to do everything in her power to help those people......
He Manzi was deeply moved by the prime minister's command of the rescue with tears in his eyes at the scene, and looked at the busy figures of the volunteers, He Manzi was proud from the bottom of her heart, because she knew that Zhang Xiaohu was there......
He Manzi was sitting on the sofa in a daze, and Xiao Jianhao's affairs were always bothering her. If nothing else, Zhang Shujuan will definitely not accept Xiao Jianhao, so whether to send him to an orphanage or raise him by herself is a big question. Zhang's mother's attitude is obvious, she obviously doesn't welcome the child, she hasn't communicated with Zhang Xiaohu yet, but to adopt the child of his wife's ex-boyfriend, how broad-minded does this be? However, such a small child is going to be sent to an orphanage, she really can't bear it! Especially when she looks at his clear eyes, she is even more sad, she wants to take him with her, she wants to educate him well, she wants to educate him to be a man who stands up to the sky, but if he is sent to an orphanage, all this is not tied!
