As long as people live, there is hope. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xu Qiuyi chewed Xu Xiangwan's words carefully, her eyes gradually became clear, and her original dull expression gradually began to become vivid.
Xu Xiangwan saw that Xu Qiuyi finally came back to her senses, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
Gorou's eyes moved slightly when he heard this, and he sighed lightly: "It's not too late for me to be an elder brother, you can see it." Although our days are difficult, we are all still together, which is much better than those wives who have suffered disasters. Everyone is living well, what reason do we have to be depressed? ”
Seeing that Wulang also cheered up, Xu Xiangwan finally smiled, and there was a faint sense of accomplishment in his heart that "my family has a child who has just grown up".
But then I felt awkward, she was only six years old this year, how could she have such a mentality?
"Late evening, late ......" Xu Xiangwan's heart had just loosened when he heard Zhang's weak ** voice from the head of the bed.
The three brothers and sisters were all happy, and they gathered around the bed.
"Mother, are you awake? I am here. Xu Xiangwan grabbed Zhang's hand and answered softly.
Zhang opened his eyes and looked at Xu Xiangwan carefully, and suddenly said, "I'm not dreaming, am I?" ”
Hearing this, Xu Xiangwan's nose was sour, and he forced a smile: "Mother, are you sleepy?" I'm standing here as a big living person, and you still say it's a dream. Otherwise, mother, you will hit me to see if it hurts? ”
As he spoke, Xu Xiangwan pulled Zhang and patted him on the head, pretending to be in pain and exclaiming: "Mother, you have to be a little weaker, it hurts so much at night!" ”
Knowing that Xu Xiangwan was deliberately amusing her, Zhang grinned lightly, and all the tears in his eyes flowed: "You kid, why are you becoming more and more improper." ”
Xu Qiuyi also laughed, her eyes were also filled with tears, and while wiping Zhang's tears, she said, "We're all here, mother, it's good if you wake up." ”
The sale of Xu Qiuyi and the slander of Zhang's happened after Zhang's coma, and none of the brothers and sisters planned to tell Zhang's about it, and they were all silent, so Zhang's had no idea that Xu Qiuyi was sold and went to the house to slander Zhang's and her children.
The reason why Zhang was in a coma was that he was injured and angry, and now he saw that his two daughters were standing here intact, so he was more awake.
Regarding Xu Xiangwan's sale, Zhang is still not at ease: "They let you go like this?" ”
Xu Xiangwan glanced at each other with Gorou and Xu Qiuyi, but did not answer immediately.
Or Wulang was afraid that Zhang's would think too much, so he said: "The deposit given by Zhao Yuanwai has been withdrawn, and Wan'er will definitely not be sold to Zhao Yuanwai's house." ”
This is true, but the latter paragraph is missing, because the Zhang family is in a coma, he doesn't know about the Xue family, and Wulang didn't mention it, after all, the current Zhang family is not easy to hurt, so let's wait until I can't hide it.
Hearing Gorou say this, the Zhang family thought that it was Old Man Xu who was calling the shots for them, and there was a smile on his face, and he did not doubt him.
Xu Xiangwan exchanged glances with Wulang and Xu Qiuyi, turned his head to Zhang's and said, "Mother, Dr. Li said that you injured your internal organs and need to recuperate, so you shouldn't go out recently." My sister and I are involved in matters at home, and my brother is involved in matters outside the home, so you don't have to worry about it. Recently, the sun has been shining, and the wolfberries can almost be sold after another day or two, so you don't have to worry about anything. ”
For his body, Zhang is also very clear, he has been a lot better a few days ago, but after this morning toss, I am afraid that he will have to cultivate for a while.
In order to take care of his body as soon as possible and not become a drag on his children, Zhang nodded cooperatively.
"Everyone's hungry, right? It just so happened that Aunt Chen next door sent some steamed buns, which were still hot, so I just ate them while they were hot. Inevitably, Zhang continued to ask, and Xu Xiangwan quickly changed the topic.
Before the words fell, Xiao Jiu, who was sleeping at the end of the bed, first "gurgled" in his stomach.
Several people looked at each other and smiled, and they all put aside what happened in the morning for the time being.
Xu Xiangwan went to the small hall and took the buns sent by Aunt Chen into the room.
When the furoshiki was opened, there was a layer of large buns wrapped in banana leaves, and when the banana leaves were uncovered, the smell of buns mixed with the fragrance of banana leaves came to the face, which made Xu Xiangwan and others swallow their saliva.
"It smells so good." Xu Xiangwan praised.
Xu Qiuyi picked up Xiao Jiu, shook it in her arms, and when she saw that she was awake, she took him out and washed his face with a wet cloth, and then took Xiao Jiu's hand and went back to the north house together.
Xu felt that Xu Xiangwan's family was not having a good time, and this time Aunt Chen sent ten buns, and each person could get two chubby white buns.
In addition to the loose meal before the separation, in order to save food, Xu Xiangwan's family only cooked a big pot of sorghum porridge with more vegetables and less porridge every morning, added a little salt, and ate it three times a day.
Although the buns are just vegetarian dishes, the stuffing is fried in oil and fragrant, and as soon as it is broken, the fragrance hooks the gluttonous worms in the stomachs of Xu Xiangwan and others.
Xiao Jiu saw that everyone had a bun in their hands, so he broke the bun in half, took an unceremonious bite on the half, and said indistinctly while eating: "It's so delicious...... Bun...... Delicious......"
Watching the family eat a few vegetarian buns around the bed with relish, Xu Xiangwan couldn't tell what it was like in her heart, but it strengthened her belief in making money.
The whole family is frugal, and after one person eats one, they are all full.
Xiao Jiu only ate half of it, handed the remaining half to Xu Xiangwan, and said with a smile: "Sister, let's eat the rest of the buns for the holidays." ”
The day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the family has no money and no rice, so naturally they can't afford to eat good.
When the family was divided, the grain was not much, and the 100 catties of rice that were promised had not been divided yet, and after today's incident, I don't know if the rice can be distributed to them. After so many days of saving and eating, there is only more than one pound of rice left, and less than two pounds of sorghum rice. Couscous and refined flour haven't been touched yet, but these things are reluctant to eat on weekdays except for the New Year's holidays.
"Okay, let's eat for the holidays." Xu Xiangwan rubbed Xiao Jiu's little head and said softly.
In addition to Zhang's physical discomfort and the small nine people, the three of Wulang are used to doing things, and their appetite is naturally good, this one bun is only half full, Xu Xiangwan said: "There is still half a pot of vegetable porridge cooked in the morning, if it is not enough, I will add a bowl to you?" ”
Gorou and Xu Qiuyi said they didn't need to.
"Brother, I'll go out with you in a while, you go to the town to get medicine, and I'll go to the mountains to have a look." Xu Xiangwan said again.
"Up the mountain?" Gorou frowned, clearly disapproving.
Xu Qiuyi also stopped at the right time: "You are a girl, it is better to run less on the mountain." ”
But this time Xu Xiangwan made up his mind: "Brother, sister, there are many wild vegetables in the mountains in autumn, I will see if I can pick up some wild mushrooms or something, and I can exchange some money for the town." ”
"How much can I get for these things?" Xu Qiuyi and Zhang's didn't know about Xu Xiangwan's encounter with a wolf in the mountains, and the opposition was not particularly strong, after all, which child living at the foot of the mountain didn't run up the mountain?
