Lying under July was the ondol, on which there were two broken wooden boxes, and on which several quilts were piled up. There was an old table on the floor, and on a stool next to it sat a teenage boy who was holding a wooden stick and practicing calligraphy in a wooden box filled with sand.

Perhaps sensing July's gaze, the boy turned his head, and when he saw July sitting up half-propped up, he was stunned when he was looking at himself, and then shouted with joy on his face.

"Mother, my sister is awake, my sister is awake, come quickly!"

This boy's name is Qi Tianxing, he is Qi Yue'er's second brother, when Qi Yue'er was alive, this second brother loved her the most, and even Qi Tianxing secretly asked his friend to send Qi Yue'er some silver money before the distribution, so that his sister would have the silver to use in the future, so that she would not be too wronged.

"Second brother!" Qi Qi smiled and shouted at Qi Tianxing in a hoarse and weak voice.

At this time, a woman hurriedly ran in outside the door, the woman was dressed in a homely blue cloth old clothes, her appearance was delicate, and her body was also clean and neat, she was greatly relieved to see July, and ran to July in a few steps and hugged July.

"Amitabha, you can be regarded as awake, you have been scared to death in the past two days, you are still uncomfortable, if you are uncomfortable, tell your mother!" Ruan Shi was distressed and happy to ask July.

July shook her head, indicating that she was fine, Ruan looked up and down again at July, and repeatedly touched July's forehead several times, confirming that July's fever had really subsided, and then relieved.

"You lie down first, and my mother will bring you porridge!" Ruan Shi put July back on the kang and then said.

After a while, Ruan Shi brought a bowl of porridge, the porridge was corn, the whole bowl of porridge was very thin, there were not many rice grains in total, and July could even see his own reflection in the porridge.

July took a sip, maybe because he was too hungry, this porridge tasted extremely delicious, July drank it in a few sips, and licked his lips after drinking.

"Grunt," Qi Tianxing's stomach beside July screamed, and July turned his head to look at him, only to see him staring at the bowl in July's hand and swallowing his saliva.

"Is my sister still hungry?I'll go serve you another bowl!" Seeing Qiyue looking at himself, Qi Tianxing thought that Qiyue hadn't eaten enough, so he hurriedly asked.

Seeing him like this, July remembered what he heard when he was asleep before, all the food in the house went to change the medicine for himself to eat, where is there still rice to eat, I am afraid that the whole family is starving at this time, and the last bit of food is made for himself.

"Don't eat, you're full!" July said, shaking her head.

This body really needs to eat to be well-maintained, but even if you are in a hurry, you don't want to drink the last bit of porridge, although this porridge really doesn't play a role in this family.

In the evening, Qi Yue'er's father and eldest brother came back, Qi Yue'er's father is named Qi Lang, although he is already the father of three children, but he is only in his thirties at this time, and his appearance is also very handsome, standing with his eldest son as if they were brothers.

Qi Yue'er's eldest brother is named Qi Zhengyang, and he is only thirteen years old this year, but he is young and old, and his personality is not smiling.

The two of them were very happy to see July wake up, and they greeted July for a long time, and then they remembered to get down to business.

"Alas, now that no one has any food, I went to borrow it and didn't get it, so I and the boss had no choice but to go to the mountains to dig up some wild vegetables, you can cook some wild vegetable soup later!" Qi Lang said helplessly to Ruan's family.

"Alas, we adults can do it, but children can't eat this! You can go to the street tomorrow and sell the clothes I married for food! Now that the situation is not good, you can exchange a little food!" Ruan Thi said after a sigh.

"But 、、、" Qi Lang gritted his teeth, but still didn't say anything to refuse, after all, the child is still the most important.

"Forget it, I'll make you some new clothes when the year is good!" Qi Lang patted his thigh and finally said.

Now there is a shortage of grain, because the Qi family usually does not farm, so there is no grain seeds left at home, so it is the first person in the village to run out of food, Qi Lang has traveled all over the students he used to teach and has not borrowed half of the grain, but fortunately, it is not the most difficult time yet, no one has grabbed the wild vegetables on the mountain, and there are still some wild fruits, so the Qi family will not be starved to death directly.

The wild vegetables couldn't be eaten anyway, but Qi Zhengyang and Qi Tianxing didn't go to drink the bowl of porridge left in the pot, although July refused to drink it several times, but Ruan still forced July to drink the bowl of porridge.

Today's home is extraordinarily quiet, usually after eating and laughing people also go to bed early, food can not be borrowed, tomorrow can only go up the mountain to get wild vegetables to eat, I don't know when this day is a head, today when Qi Lang went out to borrow food, I heard that the court has sent disaster relief food, I am afraid to stay up for a few more days, and wait for the food to come down after it will be fine!

Ruan's clothes were taken the next day, these clothes were the dowry when she got married, although they were not new, but the material was excellent, if they were good in the past, they could come back as some money, but now these clothes are only replaced with half a catty of coarse corn.

It is said that these can be exchanged for these because the shopkeeper of the pawnshop and Qi Lang have the old sake, and now there are a lot of people in the town who are doing things, and the pawnshop has received a lot of goods these days, and such clothes are not worth much in the pawnshop.

Fortunately, it was next to the mountain, so the family urinated all on the mountain, and now as long as there is anything to eat, they will all get it back, and if they can't finish it, they will dry it, and keep it for when they can't get it later.

Qiyue's health is not good, Ruan's naturally won't agree to her going, and because Qiyue can't go out, there is no excuse to take the things in the space out for everyone to eat, so she can only practice at home, and she has been practicing for five days, until Ruan Shi is sure that Qiyue's body is well, then he agrees to go to the mountains with Qiyue.

In just a few days, many people in the village began to feel that food was tight, so everyone began to go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables, go into the water to touch the fish, and now they see a grasshopper that they can't let go, all of them are caught and taken home, and they are kept to roast and eat.

The mountains near the village were already running out of food, so Qi Lang took Qi Zhengyang to the deeper mountains, while Ruan led Qiyue and Qi Tianxing around the nearby mountains to see if they could find some wild vegetables and wild fruits that had slipped through the net.
