Chapter 26: Adoption
"You take care of the two of them, I'll go in and get something! Don't go anywhere, just squat on the ground, don't get lost, and don't be kind enough to help others! Yun Lan told the second girl seriously, and her expression was very stern. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I know, second sister, don't worry!" The second girl was a little frightened by her, the second sister had never been so strict, but she still nodded sensibly.
Yun Lan ran back as fast as she could, and her sister-in-law was already carrying a big backpack and pulling a child in one hand, and was about to go outside. She found that her father and mother were still packing her things, and she was so anxious that she shouted: "Dad, mother, don't clean up anymore!" With a backpack that has been prepared in the morning, get out quickly, and get out immediately! ”
While shouting, he didn't care about it, and pulled the mother who was reluctant to do this and that out of the bedroom. Going to pull his father again, Yun Qin hurriedly picked up a big backpack and hurriedly walked out.
Yun Lan threw another large backpack out of the door, and with a flick of her right hand, she put the bedding and a few valuable things in her father's house into the gourd space. Turned around and went to his bedroom, picked up two small backpacks in one hand, and a large backpack in the other, and then with a flick of his right hand, everything except for a bed disappeared.
Then, I threw a few backpacks in the courtyard and ran to my sister-in-law's bedroom, and the bedding, wardrobe, boxes and a few benches were also put into the gourd space. Erniu didn't go there.
Human life is more important than things. Besides, the gold and silver treasures are all in their respective backpacks. Of course, almost all of Yun Lan's silver money was stored in the gourd space, and there were a few taels of broken silver in the backpack, as well as a change of clothes and shoes and socks for her and the children, as well as enough dry food for a day and a gourd.
The open space outside the gate, in the middle, has been occupied by his own family. Yun Lan threw a few backpacks out of the gate with all her might, and her sister-in-law hurriedly ran over to pick up the backpacks.
Yun Lan looked at the situation, she should still be able to go in, so she ran into the second girl's bedroom again, pulled two quilts and two umbrellas and ran.
Now, it is almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the weather is very cold in the morning and evening. If it rains, it's even colder. Without a futon, it will definitely not work.
It's just that it's very dangerous! As soon as she rushed out of the hospital with her front feet, she felt that the intensity of the ground movement suddenly increased a lot. Immediately after, I heard a boom, and my house collapsed!
Yun Lan couldn't help but feel a tingling scalp and a chill down her spine.
Sweat drops, oh my goodness! Almost, almost died!
Therefore, greed is not advisable; The psychology of luck is even more unacceptable!
"My daughter, are you alright?!" Su Shi was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help crying loudly, wanting to pounce, but there were so many people in front of him that he couldn't walk. I had to stay where I was and cry.
The sister-in-law was carrying a big backpack and a small backpack in one hand, standing outside the crowd, looking at her house in a daze, and the whole person was dumbfounded! After a while, he came back to his senses, his eyes were glued to Yun Lan, who had "escaped death", and in just an instant, he burst into tears.
*****
In Sujia Village, the disaster is also very serious.
collapsed houses, more than half.
All the huts collapsed, and not a single one was left.
Fortunately, with the help of the two courtyards, one or two bedrooms were left in each of them. A few very old people with very weak bodies, as well as a dozen or so children under the age of five, can still have a place to spend the night.
The newly built house of the Su Hu family is very fortunate and intact.
All food and clothing were not lost.
It's just that the two children of the second family, because when the earthquake struck, were running to the children of Suhu and wanted to beat them. Unfortunately, because they didn't have time to stop their footsteps and used too much force, the two children of the second family fell hard, one broke his head, and the other injured his arm.
After the strong shaking, after the initial fright, the two children of the second family glared at Su Hu's children viciously. One of them, who was not afraid of death, scolded in front of Su Hu and his wife: "Trample people!" Broom Star Calamity, shameless practice, all blame you, you are all harmed! ”
When Su Hu heard this, he was immediately furious.
No matter how good his temper is, no matter how sorry he feels for his nephews and nieces, he can't deceive himself anymore! The wicked man sued first, and these two people obviously wanted to bully his children, but they were accidentally injured. But to put all this responsibility on his children, isn't it too much of a deception?!
"Shut up!" Su Hu raised his hand and gave his nephew a slap.
The nephew's eyes widened in disbelief: "Fifth uncle, you actually beat me?" I'm your nephew! ”
"If my nephew is close again, can I have children and daughters? I'm not stupid, you want to beat my children for no reason, but you are accidentally injured because of this, and you even have the face to blame my children! Su Hu's anger became more and more intense, and his backhand was another slap: "I, Su Hu's sons and daughters, how can I allow others to be humiliated and trampled on like this?" Practice the word "people", I will send it back to you, and send it back to your father and mother who taught you to be so shameless! ”
If the nephew dares to insult and belittle his children like this, it must have a lot to do with the second brother and second sister-in-law, if the second brother and the second sister-in-law have the slightest respect and sincerity for his younger brother, this nephew will not even scold this kind of thing because of what he hears and sees. It is conceivable that in the past years, how the second family looked down on him, the fifth brother, behind his back.
This situation really chilled his heart. He couldn't help but think of the words that his wife used to often mention, and remembered his wife's grievances. At that time, he always told her that the family should not worry too much. After all, it is always his own father and mother, and he is his own brother and sister. There is no need to divide too clearly who is better to whom and who pays a little more to whom. As a son, as a younger brother, who is good for his father and sister and his brother and sister? If we don't honor them, do we have to honor others?
Now that I think about it, daring has always been, in fact, most of the time, it is his own self-inflicted sentimentality and wishful thinking. Daddy and mother are indeed good for the fifth room, but compared to the eldest and second family, it is too far and too far behind! When he compares it seriously, he seems to feel as if he has picked it up.
Daddy and mother are good to everyone, that's really good, it's good to dig your heart and lungs! The second child and the second daughter-in-law are all messing around, and the children are also very difficult. My father and mother couldn't afford to provoke them, so they had to give all kinds of subsidies and indulgences to the family.
Su Quan, the third child, is filial to his father and mother, but he is not accommodating to the eldest and second child. The third daughter-in-law is also a pungent person, and she doesn't take the initiative to bully anyone, but if anyone wants to bully her, she won't give up.
The fourth child is a daughter, and she is also the treasure in the hands of her father, and the eldest and second child dare not bully casually. Moreover, the fourth child is not good at stubble, and no one can bully her easily.
Five brothers and sisters, to put it mildly, he is the most pitiful.
Over the years, those who have been cattle and horses have suffered a lot of losses. Even his wife and children were bullied.
It's just that the clay man also has three points of blood, is he really a fool with no temper?! No matter how filial he is, no matter how much he loves his brothers and sisters, and how much he feels sorry for his nephews and nieces, at this moment, he can't pay willingly!
Such relatives are not as good as neighbors, so it is better not to have them!
As a result, the resentment that had accumulated in my heart exploded in an instant!
However, this is a very serious matter. not only scolded this uneducated nephew, but even scolded Su Lao Er and his wife. These two people, no matter what, are his second brother and sister-in-law!
Although, it is true that the scolding is justified, and the two should also be scolded. However, others don't necessarily think that way.
The faces of the people present suddenly turned very exciting, just like opening a soy sauce shop.
Su Yuan was furious, pointed his hand at his youngest son's forehead, and scolded a bloody dog.
Su Lao Da Su Lao Er, with his hands on his waist, kept counting at Su Hu.
Su Hu's wife and children were also besieged.
Su Hu almost wanted to look up to the sky and roar!
Such a father, a father and mother who is eccentric to the point of squeaking, if he says he doesn't want it, will he be struck by lightning?
"Enough! Boss and second, take all the people in your family, get out of here! Su Hu looked at Su Tao, who was surrounded by three children, his eight-year-old daughter, his wife whose hair was ripped off by his sister-in-law and sister-in-law, and his son who was beaten by several nephews and had no power to fight back, the anger in his heart could not be suppressed, and he burned fiercely.
While roaring, he picked up a bamboo broom, and waved it regardless of it: "Get out of here, from today onwards, I don't recognize you big brother and second brother!" ”
With the sound of the whirring wind, the broom fell on Su Boss and Su Er's body without hesitation.
Su Lao Da Su and Su Lao Er, were beaten and screamed, hugging their heads and running around.
Su Hu shifted the target again, and the broom fell on the eldest sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law, and the sister-in-law, and the head and face were struck, and they were not soft at all. This posture also frightened the two of them, and they hurriedly pulled their own baggage and went away in embarrassment.
The broom fell on the nephews and nieces who were extremely ruthless, and they also beat these people away.
Su Yuan was so angry that his hands and feet trembled, his face was pale, he pointed at Su Hu with his finger, and he couldn't say a word.
Su Hu's mother, Tan, was at a loss for tears like rain.
Su Quan frowned slightly, and hurriedly stepped forward to help his father: "Dad, just say less!" Over the years, the fifth brother has done enough for our family! It is not easy for him, a family of seven, and he also has to eat and dress. Over the years, the fifth brother has honored his parents, loved his brothers, and felt sorry for his younger generations. He's done it well enough! If you want me to say, eldest brother and second brother, it's really too unusual! ”
As he spoke, he pressed his father into his chair.
Su Yuan struggled hard: "I don't live here, I want to leave, I'd rather live on the streets!" ”
Su Quan frowned, and his tone was displeased: "Dad, don't be confused!" Ada is fifteen years old, already a child, and will take the township test next year! In today's situation, if you walk out of this door and live in the wilderness, do you want to ruin Ada's future?! ”
Suda is smart, loyal and diligent, and has a talent for reading. Although he was only enlightened at the age of ten, he passed the Tongsheng exam at the age of thirteen. Originally, I planned to be admitted to Xiucai next spring, and I would also come to Qingshan Academy in Fucheng with a few stones.
Su Quan really likes this nephew.
There is a promising nephew in the family, and his character is very good, and he will have a future in the future, so can he also bring his brothers and sisters at home?
Therefore, Su Quan is thinking about Su Da from the bottom of his heart.
Now, seeing that Su Yuan still wants to make a fuss, he can't help but darken his face.
Su Yuan, in fact, also likes this grandson very much, and has great hopes for this grandson.
Hearing Su Quan say this, his heart couldn't help but be shocked, and his angry scolding stopped abruptly.
yes, he seems to be confused.
Su Quan continued to mend the knife: "Besides, with the character of the eldest brother, the second brother, the eldest sister-in-law, and the second sister-in-law, do you think that when you are old, when you can't move, they can be relied on?" I'm afraid, my father and mother are thirsty and want to drink a glass of water, but no one will willingly pour it to you! ”
Su Yuan's face changed greatly, he turned pale, and a string of chills scurried from the soles of his feet.
Thinking about it carefully, what the third child said seems to make a lot of sense!
Now, he and his wife can still do farm work and earn money, and the eldest and second child and their mother-in-law often look at their faces. Several grandchildren are actually not very respectful to their grandparents. Even, he scolded them for being old and immortal behind his back, and he had heard them several times.
In the past, he had never seriously thought about this question.
He shouldn't have avoided the question, he shouldn't have pretended not to know!
Su Yuan's whole body went limp, and he sat down on the chair.
Su Kang called a large bucket of hot water, brought a large bathtub, and put a brand new towel on the bathtub: "Grandpa, you scrub it simply, I'll move a couch out, you can have a good rest!" ”
Su Yuan sat on the chair, motionless, his eyes a little dazed.
Su Quan also hurriedly persuaded: "Dad, mother, wash up and take time to rest." I don't know when the ground will move even more intensely. When the time comes, this house may not be able to be saved, and maybe everyone will have to live in the wilderness! ”
Su Kang: "That's right, maybe all the people in the city have to run out." The better field may be crowded with people, let alone lie down at that time, I'm afraid there will be no place to stand! ”
Su Yuan was trembling all over, and he regretted it.
Today, he may indeed be very wrong!
Imagine, if the ground movement is more violent, his hometown can never go back, there is no way to live here, and he has completely offended the fifth family, can he still expect the eldest and second family to provide for him?
No, you can't count on it!
If there is no natural disaster, the family is still living a stable life in Feng County, he and his wife have been able to take care of themselves before they die, and the eldest and second child should not be too much to him and his wife, at least give him a bite to eat.
When the catastrophe comes, the eldest and the second will fly separately.
And the third family is all honest, but they don't have any ability. will only bury his head in farming, and he can't even raise chickens and ducks. The couple went to the city to sell firewood, and others could sell it for ten cents a load, but the two could only sell it for eight cents at most. Speaking of which, the third family is not something to rely on.
After doing the math, in fact, you can rely on it, that is, the old five family!
The old five family is not to be offended!
In Su Yuan's heart, he couldn't help but be defeated.
That's it, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and he will no longer interfere in children's affairs in the future!
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
The disaster in the Fucheng area is not particularly serious.
The five younger brothers all returned to the city safely and stayed with the Yunlan family. Yun Lan found some bamboo and planks, and built a shed of twelve or thirteen square meters in the open space to resist the somewhat lingering autumn rain.
On this day, the alarm was lifted, and Yun Lan paid a high price for fifty young adults, and in one day, he cleaned up his house. Using the green bricks in the ruins, it took only three days to quickly build two bedrooms with blue bricks and thatched roofs, build a kitchen, a thatched room, and a bathing room.
In this way, the family finally has a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
Nowadays, you can't buy tiles, but when you go to the wilderness and go to the mountains, you can still easily cut thatch suitable for building a roof. Yun Lan asked Su Hu to let out a message in Sujia Village, and it only took one day to purchase enough high-quality thatch.
With a thatched house to live in and a family to live in, Yun Lan is already very satisfied.
After all, more than sixty percent of the people in Fucheng are homeless and live on the streets or in the wilderness. People who have broken their families abound, and they are very miserable.
On the sixth day, Su Da took Yunfei and Yunyuan to visit relatives in Sujia Village. When I came back the next day, I came back with a surprising news.
Of the people who came from Yunjiaao, seven people were unfortunately killed.
One of them was her uncle, a kind and kind old man in his seventies, who had been sponsoring her. His grandson Xiaopo, as well as Xiaoshan, suddenly became orphans that no one cared for.
Yun Lan adopted the orphan Xiaoshan, the six-year-old child, grandparents and parents all died. There is a second uncle, but he ignores him, like a stranger. Sometimes, when the vicious second aunt saw him, when she was in a bad mood, she would beat him for no reason.
Over the past year, Xiaoshan has lived in Xiaopo's house many times. Most of the food and clothing are provided by Yun Lan.
Xiaopo is five years old, and he has only one grandfather, the old man in his seventies. Grandpa was unfortunately killed in this ground movement!
The slopes and the hills are truly lonely.
In the past, when I was in Yunjiaao, the people in the village were doing well, and they would stretch out their hands to take care of them. Now, when the catastrophe comes, those who have left their hometowns can't take care of their own children and the elderly, who still has the heart to take care of other people's children?
Two children, living in the wilderness, eat grass roots and wild vegetables to sustain their lives.
Every day, I will be excluded and bullied, and I will often be scarred.
When Yun Lan heard about it, she immediately got on a donkey cart and rushed to Sujia Village.
From afar, looking at the two children in ragged clothes and with yellow muscles and thin muscles, she couldn't help but have tears in her eyes.
"Xiaoshan, Xiaopo, come to Auntie!" She waved to the children, trying to smile brightly, looking gentle and beautiful.
Until a long, long time later, Xiaoshan and Xiaopo still remember this scene. It was as if the black and oppressive sky suddenly had a brilliant ray of sunlight that broke through the clouds and illuminated the entire earth, and all things in the sky and earth were dazzling in an instant.
Her bright and kind smile warms people's hearts more than the sun.
The confidence and courage that I have never had, as well as the vision for the future, suddenly came to my heart at this moment.
This inexplicable and unfamiliar emotion reverberated in my heart, and it made the two boys who didn't know anything about the world feel extremely comfortable. It seems that the greatest joy in life is nothing more than this.
Yun Lan took the two children back to Fucheng.
It has been many days since the earthquake crisis, and the ruins in the city have also been cleaned up. On the street, there were people in the barracks to maintain order, driving away and arresting those who took advantage of the chaos to do evil, and finally did not make the people of Fucheng worse.
Yun Lan had already received definite news that most of the entire Feng County had been submerged, causing dozens of dammed lakes. The town where Yunjiaao was located was gone, and there was no trace of it.
In the entire Feng County, more than 20% of the people, about 7,000 people, were unfortunately killed. These people, some of them are stubborn old men, who want to stick to their homeland and refuse to leave; Yes, it is those who are lazy and lazy, afraid of suffering and suffering on the way to escape, hoping for luck and wanting to gamble; There are also those who have lost their mobility, and there is no way but to stay at home and wait for death.
Before the earth moved, the population of Feng County was about 35,000 people.
In other words, nearly 30,000 people escaped from the earthquake center in Fengxian County alive. I have to say that Yun Lan is actually a great hero, if it weren't for her reminder, if she hadn't led the Luo family to flee in time, there wouldn't be so many people in Feng County who would have fled in time. Then, the losses will be even more serious, and even the county magistrate will want to escape.
After urgently mobilizing the people of the county to flee for their lives, the county commander sent more than a dozen small teams to disperse to the intersections of various towns into the city, maintain order, urge everyone to speed up, and instruct everyone to run in the direction of Fucheng.
Although the county order sent away the family and property early. However, he himself persisted for a long time, and when the fleeing army was fifty or sixty percent gone, he rode a fast horse and took a group of subordinates to escort the people, but in fact, he fled for his life.
However, no one has anything to say.
