Chapter Twenty-Six: Helping Others
Although the house did not collapse, the ancestral hall was empty and gloomy, and the temperature was much colder than that of the house. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Jiang family moved the still intact items and food in the family to the ancestral hall with the help of the villagers, but the clothes and straw mattresses could not stop the cold wind blowing from all sides. The old man of the Jiang family was shivering from the cold, and there was a Jiang girl who injured her leg...... The villagers sighed, these two children are afraid that they will not survive this winter. The Jiang family also had this thought, and everyone had desperate sadness on their faces.
"......" Li Zhoule thought of the big cotton jacket at home, because it was too long, no one in the Li family and the Wen family was suitable for wearing, Li Zhoule changed the cotton coat into a quilt, and the two sleeves cut off made a cotton vest, which was originally prepared for Li Yishu. The elder of the Jiang family is two years younger than Li Yishu, and his character is much smaller, although the cotton vest is two sizes larger, it is still warm enough.
"Uncle Jiang, I still have a quilt and a cotton vest at home, and I asked Yi Shu to send it to you."
Uncle Jiang and the great god of Jiang's eyes lit up when they heard this, and the aunt wiped her tears and said, "Erya, thank you so much." Otherwise, my eldest girl and my eldest child may not survive this winter......"
Although Uncle Jiang was happy that his family didn't have to freeze, he asked worriedly: "You gave us the quilt, what about you and Yi Shu?" Will it freeze? β
Li Zhoule smiled and shook his head: "Look at the clothes I and Yi Shu are wearing, they are so thick and big, they can be covered with quilts, how can they be frozen?" β
The villagers had long seen the two families wearing thick cotton clothes, and they were also very curious under envy: the material worn by the three brothers of the Wen family was cloth, and everyone could recognize that the Li family had spare money after becoming a family heirloom, and it was normal to make cotton clothes for the three brothers of the future husband's family. But what kind of material is the cotton clothes of the Li brothers and sisters made of? How come it has never been seen?
The outspoken villager aunt asked.
Li Zhoule smiled and said the words he had thought of: "This material was sent back by my eldest brother, saying that it can keep warm, but we don't know what the specific material is." β
When the villagers heard this, they all gathered around: "Your eldest brother has sent a letter back?" Did he say anything? Did you mention when you will be back? Did you mention my family? β
"Did you mention my Gangzi?"
"Is there any information about my junior?"
"Is there any news of my wood?"
"Is there a ......?"
ββ¦β¦β
Li Zhoule's ears were buzzing constantly, making her regret using her eldest brother as an excuse.
"Everyone, be quiet." Li Zhoule raised his voice.
The villagers stopped their voices and stared at Li Zhoule with expectant eyes.
Li Zhoule Alexander could only make up a reason: "The eldest brother only asked people to send some things over, and left a word, everyone is fine." Not much else to say. β
The villagers were very disappointed when they heard this, but when they heard the words that everyone was well, their uneasy hearts were relieved. There are many young people who have been recruited away from Lijia Village, and every family has them, and everyone's hearts have always been hanging, for fear that they will be like the Wen family, so they will not wait long for the news of the death of the Wen family. Li Zhoule didn't know that her nonsense this time was right, except for Father Wen, the rest of the people who were recruited from Lijia Village were injured and disabled, but they all survived. The death of Guy Wen's father stimulated the eldest brother of the Li family, and the people of the Li family village of the eldest brother of the Li family gathered together to train and taught them many ways to save their lives on the battlefield, so that these people were injured but their lives were saved.
After a while, Yi Shu returned to the kitchen with the quilt and vest. Seeing the thick quilt, everyone was envious, and sighed that the Jiang family was blessed by misfortune and got such a thick good quilt. The aunt put on the cotton vest by the Jiang family, and dragged the vest under the Jiang family's buttocks, and the Jiang family's pale little face regained a trace of blood. The rest of the villagers also sent some things over as much as they could, and the Jiang family gratefully accepted them. The eyes that were originally lifeless and full of despair were regained with life and hope.
"Zhou Le, let's go together." Wen Zixia walked up to Li Zhoule and said softly. He didn't have anything extra at home, so he sent a bundle of firewood to the Jiang family.
"Okay." Li Zhoule didn't see her fiancΓ©'s shyness, but she was very happy in her heart. The two people walked side by side on the road, although the movements were not intimate, but anyone with eyes could find the tacit understanding between them.
"Zhou Le, don't use Brother Li as an excuse in the future." Wen Zixia reminded in a whisper.
Li Zhoule hummed lightly: "I can't think of the rest of the reasons for a while, so I can only use the eldest brother as the interface." I hope that the eldest brother and the people who went out of the village will be okay and will come safely. β
"Definitely." Wen Zixia comforted Li Zhoule and gave her confidence, "Brother Li is very skilled, he will definitely be able to protect himself." As for the rest of the village, as long as they learn a few hands from Brother Li, they should be able to come back alive. β
Li Zhoule looked at the gloomy sky: "If there is no war in the world, how good it would be!" β

After drinking Laba porridge, the New Year will be celebrated in more than ten days. Han Nuo and Han's father and Han mother began to buy New Year's goods. Every year, as soon as the city enters the lunar month, it will build a shed in the gymnasium to hold a New Year's goods fair, and eat and wear a dragon. Han Nuo looked at the goods one by one with the flow of people: the walnuts from XJ and bought; Qingchuan's pork ribs, buy; large fungus in the Northeast, buy; This dress is good, it is suitable for dad, buy; This pearl necklace looks pretty good, give it to my mother, buy it; Authentic sorghum wine, home-brewed, buy; Honey, buy ......
Fortunately, Han Nuo brought a small trailer, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to take home so many things.
"You girl buy so many things?!" Han's mother was taken aback by Han Nuo's generosity.
Han Nuo sighed: "It's not much, it's all for food anyway, and it won't take long to run out." β
After speaking, he walked to the sofa and sat down, and pulled out things one by one. Han's mother came over to help, moved all the food to the kitchen and put it away, and the clothes and necklaces that Han Nuo bought for her and Han's father were put in the room of the two old people. There was still one or two things left in the cart's bag.
Han's mother took out one and asked, "What are you buying so many slices of toast for?" If you don't eat it, your father and I won't eat it. β
Toasted bread slices are those breads that are not done well and the leftover bread of the day are cut into slices and baked dry, which can be stored for a long time, but they are dry and hard, maybe some people like to eat them, but no one in the Han family likes them.
"It's cheap, I'll buy it." Han Nuo couldn't say the thought that popped up in his heart for no reason, and found a reason, "I bought it to feed the birds." β
There are several green spaces in the middle of the river outside the gate of the community, and every winter, a large number of water birds will fly to the island for the winter, and when the weather is good, many citizens will come to the river and scatter bread crumbs and other food in the direction of the middle of the river to feed the birds. It was a spectacular sight.
Han Nuo entered his room with a piece of toast and a printed version of the word Fu. Now the business is very interesting, and it actually printed the word "Fu" written by Kangxi, just such a gimmick made many people buy it, not to mention that Kangxi's words were originally good, and they became a big family.
Han Nuo threw the bread slices and the word Fu into the porcelain jar, and whispered into the porcelain jar: "Although I don't know where you lead, no matter what time and space it is, I hope that those who receive these two gifts can feel the atmosphere of the New Year here." Wishing you all a Happy New Year. β
Han's mother's voice came from the kitchen: "Yo, there is still half a bottle of honey here!" I bought another big bottle, how can I finish it? β
"Our family of three drank a glass of honey water every morning and it ran out quickly." Han Nuo walked out of the room, took the remaining half bottle of honey from Han's mother's hand, and said, "The new wild chrysanthemum nectar I just bought this autumn will calm the liver and eyes, clear away heat and dissolve phlegm. Don't you and your dad feel phlegm in our throats every morning? Just drink the warm water brewed with the nectar of wild chrysanthemum. β
"What about this bottle?" Han's mother asked.
"Lost." Han Nuo took half a bottle of honey back to his room, "This is all from last year, and it has been leaking for so long, and the taste has changed." I'll throw it in the trash can below later, so that I don't have to leave it at home to attract ants. β
Although Han's mother felt a pity, she also felt that it was not good to barely eat the honey that had changed its taste, not to mention that there was no shortage of money at home, so she recognized Han Nuo's behavior. Naturally, Han Nuo threw the honey into the porcelain jar instead of throwing it into the trash can outside. She thought that this half bottle of honey should help people.

The first thing Li Yishu does when he gets up early every day is to go to the storage room to see the "fairy baby" porcelain jar, although the "fairy" has not given anything for a long time, but Li Yishu still has not changed this habit. He doesn't insist that there is nothing, but even when he sees an empty porcelain jar, he can feel the beauty of life. Because this porcelain jar brought them hope in the most difficult times of their lives.
On this day, Li Yishu entered the storage room as every day before, and after a while, the child let out a happy cry: "Sister, the fairy has given us a New Year's gift." β
Li Zhoule hurriedly walked into the storage room and moved the contents of the porcelain jar to the hall with Li Yishu, and the bright light in the hall allowed them to see the true appearance of these three things.
"What a beautiful blessing word." Li Zhoule picked up the word Fu and praised. They have never seen such beautiful and atmospheric words. Even Mr. Juren in the county academy can't write such good words.
"I'll practice according to this word from now on." Li Yishu looked at this blessing word with admiration.
Li Zhoule handed the word Fu to Li Yishu: "Paste this word of Fu in your room." β
Li Yishu was overjoyed, took the word Fu, and cherished it back to his room.
Li Zhoule looked down at the remaining two things, and the plastic bottle containing honey suddenly came into view. Li Zhoule was excited, glass bottle, another glass bottle!
