Chapter 16: It's so warm
The situation of the Wen brothers is even worse than that of the Li family, the Wen family only has one quilt but three people need to cover it, although one is a teenager and two children, but three people cover a quilt is not enough, not to mention that the quilt is so thin. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Even if they put on all the clothes they could wear and covered them with quilts, the three of them still felt cold. From the outside to the cold, the cold that almost freezes people. Wen Zixia moved all the firewood in the family to the bedroom and lit the fire to keep her two younger brothers warm. The firewood burns less and less, and it is colder outside than inside, so it is not practical to go out to collect firewood. But what if the firewood is burned? Is it to burn books? Wen Zixia shook his head violently, books are the greatest wealth, and they must not be burned. Opening a window and looking out, Wen Zixia's eyebrows were knotted.
The crystal snowflakes were blown into the house by the wind through the cracks in the window and fell on Wen Zixia's face, Wen Zixia only felt that his face was cold, and the snowflakes quickly melted.
Snowing? There is a saying that "Ruixue is a mega year", but for those of them who are so poor that they have no food or clothing, even if it is Ruixue, they don't expect it. This snow will kill a lot of people, and the three brothers don't know if they can persevere, they only hope that the two younger brothers' bodies and bones can survive this snow and not get sick.
"Cold." Wen Zijue muttered quietly, Wen Zixia hurriedly closed the window tightly, so that the cold air had one less channel to penetrate into the house, the temperature in the room rose slightly, Wen Zijue finally didn't shiver from the cold, but he was still very cold. The children's bodies are weak and easy to be frostbitten, Wen Zijue is still fine, and it is all up to Wen Zixia to decisively burn the firewood at home to warm them.
"Big brother, will we be able to survive this winter?" Wen Ziyu's eyes were dazed and desperate. He knows more than Wen Zijue, knows the current situation of his family, and it is difficult for them to survive this winter.
Wen Zixia suppressed all her worries, and said in a calm tone, as if she was very confident: "Yes." With me here, I will let you welcome the arrival of spring safely. ”
"Brother, you don't have to comfort me." Wen Ziyu was very pessimistic, "Brother, if I freeze to death, you can bury me hastily and give all my clothes to my younger brother." ”
"What nonsense!" Wen Zixia was angry, "Your brother and I are not dead yet, what are you talking about dying?" Do you have any objection to being punished for memorizing the Analects within three days? ”
Wen Ziyu hurriedly shook his head, took the "Analects" handed over by Wen Zixia and memorized it from the beginning.
Wen Zixia breathed a sigh of relief, Wen Ziyu put her mind on endorsement, and didn't have to think about it anymore. The knock on the door came to my ears, and it seemed abrupt and loud in such weather. Wen Zixia's heart moved, and the figures of the Li family's sisters and brothers flashed in his mind. The Li family sisters and brothers must have encountered something, just like the adventure in the script, as a person close to them, it is impossible that he will not find out, but he will not ask more, it is the fate of the Li family. Besides, with their relationship with the Li family, they also got benefits, didn't they? Otherwise he would have starved to death.
Wen Zixia opened the door, and sure enough, outside the door was Li Yishu, he was wearing a long big dress, although he couldn't see what kind of material it was made of, it looked very warm, and he was carrying a big burden in his hand.
"Yi Shu, why are you here, come in!" Wen Zixia hurriedly pulled Li Yishu closer to the room where the fire was burning. Li Yishu looked at the fire, feeling that the inside of the house was not much warmer than the outside, Wen Zijue shrunk in the quilt and shivered - the Wen family's house has been built for some years, unlike the Li family's blue brick construction, the walls of the mud house have long been cracked, although it is blocked with rags and other things, but it can't stop the cold wind from pouring into the house. Li Yishu was very grateful to the "Immortal Lord" in his heart, if the "Immortal Lord" did not send more cotton clothes, the Wen brothers could not guarantee that they would not freeze to death due to frostbite.
Li Yishu put the package on the bed, opened it and handed the two cotton clothes to Wen Zixia and Wen Ziyu respectively, and finally walked to Wen Zijue's side with the smallest one, dug him out of the quilt, and put cotton clothes on him.
These three cotton clothes were worn by Han Nuo when she was a child, she and her parents wore them, she was only seven years old at the time, such a little girl's cotton clothes were long and big when she wore them on Wen Zijue's body, and the same was true for Wen Ziyu and Wen Zixia's cotton clothes, they were wearing Han Ma's and Han Dad's old clothes respectively, and they all dragged down below their knees, which was just right for them.
"It's so warm!" Wen Zijue tilted her head and rubbed the cotton clothes on her shoulders with her little face, and she was extremely happy for a while, just like some time ago, she was not only able to eat meat but also eat a full meal.
"Yi Shu, where did you get the three cotton clothes?" Wen Ziyu smiled, the previous despair and confusion were gone, and Li Yishu's arrival made him see hope, "But the style is a little weird." ”
"What do you wear when you have it, and ask so much?" Wen Zixia interrupted his younger brother's question and said to Li Yishu, "Yishu, is your family's firewood enough to burn?" Tomorrow I'll go collect firewood and bring you some. ”
With such warm cotton clothes, even if you go out, you won't get cold. Thanks to the environment near the village, although there are no mountains and rivers or anything, there is a small wood, and in winter, you can pick up dead branches and use them as firewood.
Li Yishu said: "Brother Wen, I'll go with you." ”
Wen Zixia waved his hand to stop him: "I'll just go, at least let us do something to repay the food and clothes you and your sister have sent us, right?" ”
Wen Ziyu immediately said, "Big brother, I'll go with you." ”
"I'll go too." Wen Zijue was not to be outdone.
"Ziyu will go with me, Zijue will not go, wait for us at home."
Wen Zijue's mouth hung up on the oil bottle: "Why don't you let me go?" I can help, too. ”
Wen Zixia patiently said to Wen Zijue: "I know you can help, so you have to take on the responsibility of guarding the door at home." We can't let the thieves steal the oil and food hidden in our house. ”
When Wen Zijue heard this, he only felt that he had a great responsibility and was taken seriously, and he clenched his little fist and said, "Big brother, don't worry, I will definitely try to guard our family." ”
Li Yishu and Wen Ziyu twitched the corners of their mouths, what a deception!
"Brother Wen, my sister is still waiting for me at home, I'll go back."
Wen Zixia and Wen Ziyu sent Li Yishu out of the courtyard together, and Wen Zixia sincerely thanked Li Yishu: "Yishu, thank you for the cotton clothes you sent." ”
These three cotton clothes are the life-saving straw for their three brothers, and with these three warm cotton clothes, their three brothers can survive this winter safely.
Li Yishu smiled: "Brother Wen, what is the relationship between our two families?" Do you need to say thank you? ”
Wen Zixia said solemnly: "I don't need it, but I wrote down this feeling." The Wen family will definitely live up to the Li family, no matter what happens. ”
Li Yishu understood that Wen Zixia had really discovered their abnormality as his sister said, and expressed his position at this time.
Li Yishu smiled: "Brother-in-law, my sister and I understand your thoughts." I'm leaving. ”
After speaking, he ran out happily and quickly disappeared from the sight of Wen Zixia and Wen Ziyu.
………………
There is a used clothes recycling bin at the entrance of Han Nuo's community, which says that all the recycled old clothes will be donated to the mountainous area. After the family returned home from the hot pot, Han Nuo had to throw the old clothes into the recycling bin. As a result, as soon as I entered my bedroom, I was in the groove, wasn't it two big packages? Why is there only one left? This disappears to the rhythm...... Han Nuo's gaze was fixed on the porcelain jar, and he recalled that it seemed that he had lost it casually, and one of the packages had been thrown on the porcelain jar. So, this was teleported away by the porcelain jar?
"Can clothes be teleported too?" Han Nuo squatted down and poked the porcelain jar with his fingers, "You have a really big appetite. ”
The porcelain jar naturally did not react, Han Nuo pursed his lips, got up and picked up another package, changed into cotton shoes, and went downstairs to throw away his old clothes. The act of throwing a large bag of old clothes into the recycling bin was still very noticeable, and the security guards of the community and the residents who came in and out all smiled kindly at Han Nuo after seeing it. Han Nuo smiled back, in fact, there are still quite a few good people in this world.
When I went upstairs, Han's mother and Han's father had already turned on the oily heater, and the room was warm. Han's mother made a pot of chrysanthemum tea and forced Han Nuo to drink a large cup before letting her go back to the room. Han Nuo had already passed the outline of the new article to his own editor-in-charge Xuecai two days ago, and Xuecai was very interested in this story, urging Han Nuo to save the manuscript as soon as possible, and upload the new article as soon as "Crossing Ji Xiaofu" was over.
Hanno opens the new document and starts to code the new text:
…… Yue Junchu came out of the bank with the last thousand yuan in his wallet. The original owner's academic performance is very good, and he has been admitted to Hong Kong Island University, but the 1,000 yuan is only enough for three months' living expenses, and the tuition fee cannot be paid at all. No wonder the original owner chose to commit suicide, what can a young girl who has just come of age do with no money in hand? The father and stepmother of the original owner are so ruthless, they force the original owner to die in disguise! Pity the original owner, I hope she will have a good baby in the next life, have parents who love her, eat and wear without worry, and be a happy little princess.
But what are you going to do? When the thousand dollars are used up, she will be hungry! Looking for a job to make money? Let's not talk about how chaotic Hong Kong Island was in the early 80s, what if you were deceived? Looking for some odd jobs in restaurants? Please, less money and more work, Yue Jun, who rarely even washes bowls in modern times, is sure that he will never be able to endure this hardship.
"The novels on "Ming Pao" are getting more and more boring, hey, I don't know how to pass the time now." Two middle-aged men walked past Yue Junchu, and their conversation aroused Yue Junchu's idea.
"That's right, Gu Long has not had any new works for two years since he wrote "The Sound of the Knife in the Wind Chimes", Wen Ruian's "Skeleton Painting" has also ended, and the novels written by the rest of the people are boring."
"yes, yes......"
Yue Junchu's eyes lit up when she heard it, she had found a way to make money!
