Chapter 4 Helping the Villagers

There is oil residue in the porridge, as well as green vegetables and oil flowers, which is really not too delicious for children who have been chewing bran and eating wild vegetables. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Li Yishu drank two large bowls of porridge in one go, and his little stomach bulged. Li Zhoule smiled and looked at his younger brother holding his stomach with satisfaction, and drank a large bowl of porridge slowly. The hot porridge moistened Li Zhoule's stomach with full energy, and also moisturized her body, and she felt that her weakened body had become stronger after her illness!

"Take a break and go. There is no shortage of food in our family now, so don't go out to find food anymore. It's so cold, it's going to make people sick. Li Zhoule instructed his younger brother. The Li family is a scholarly family, and even if they fall, the children do not forget to read and write.

Li Yishu nodded obediently, walked around the house twice, and returned to his room to read after eliminating food. The Li family's books can be used as all the books, and the rest of the books are copied by the eldest brother of the Li family when he was a child, and the children's words are not very good-looking, so such books are left at home without selling for money, which is just convenient for Li Yishu to learn.

"The Yellow Emperor painted the wilderness, and began to divide the capital; Xia Yu controlled the water, and laid the mountains and rivers at the beginning. The universe has not changed, and the names of ancient and modern are different. Beijing originally belonged to Youyan, and Jintai was its nickname; Nanjing was originally Jianye, and Jinling is another name. …… Sichuan is Xishu, and Yunnan is ancient Yunnan...... Mount Tai in the east, Mount Hua in the west, Mount Heng in the south, Mount Heng in the north, Mount Song in the middle, this is the five mountains of the world; Poyang of Raozhou, green grass of Yuezhou, Danyang of Runzhou, Dongting of Ezhou, Taihu Lake of Suzhou, these are the five lakes in the world. , which is the consolidation of the city; Cutting mountains and rivers is a feudal oath ......"

Hearing the sound of reading coming from inside the room, Li Zhoule smiled with satisfaction. Li Yishu's enlightenment was done by Li's father, but after Li's father died, the responsibility of educating her younger brother fell on her. Over the years, she has taught three hundred thousand intermittently, and now Li Yishu is learning "Kindergarten Qionglin", and only after "Kindergarten Qionglin" can she start to learn the Four Books and Five Classics. Fortunately, the eldest brother copied many books when he was a child, so that the younger brother did not go without books to read. It's a pity that the imperial court has been reviving military disasters again over the years, and the imperial examination has also stopped, and I don't know when it will resume.

Li Zhoule entered the kitchen to wash the dishes, saw the remaining half of the pot of porridge in the pot, smiled again, and a shallow dimple appeared on my beautiful cheeks.

"Zhou Le, are you at home?" A middle-aged woman's voice came from the gate of the courtyard, and Li Zhoule hurriedly walked out, "Aunt Mancang, why are you here?" Hurry up and get inside to warm up, it's too cold outside. ”

"No, no." Aunt Mancang waved her hand again and again, and said with embarrassment on her face, "Zhou Le, then, do you still have food at home?" Can you borrow a little bit from your aunt? ”

"Huh?" Li Zhoule didn't expect that Aunt Mancang would come to her family to borrow food, you must know that her family is the poorest in the village.

Aunt Mancang sighed and said, "Auntie also knows that your family must not have extra food, but I left the whole village and couldn't borrow a little food, so Auntie really has no choice." You're the last bit of hope for your aunt. Xiaoxiao's child was sick, and he couldn't eat wild vegetables at all. I just want to make some porridge for him, so that he can eat something good and survive this illness. ”

In fact, Aunt Mancang didn't really come to borrow food, she knew how poor the Li family was, and in addition to coming to such a trip with the last glimmer of hope, she also wanted to find someone to confide in the bitterness in her heart.

"Xiao Xia is sick?" Li Zhoule was surprised. Xiaoxia is the grandson of Aunt Mancang, born last summer, and now he is only one and a half years old, and he is actually sick, and he is afraid that he will not be able to survive such a winter.

"Aunt Mancang, you wait for me." Li Zhoule quickly ran back to the kitchen, poured the porridge from the pot into a large bowl, and held it out. Now that the weather is cold, this bowl of porridge will not go bad if it is stored for a long time, and it is enough for children to eat for several days.

"Auntie, you can take this bowl of porridge back and give it to Xiaoxia to drink."

"White rice porridge?" Aunt Mancang was taken aback. She came to Li's house to borrow grain and had no hope of a passbook, but she didn't expect Li Zhoule to give her such a big surprise. It's just -- where did the Li family get the white rice porridge? Isn't their family even able to afford brown rice porridge?

Li Zhoule understood Aunt Mancang's doubts, and smiled and found a reason: "I was also sick some time ago, and Xiaoshu was worried about me, so he went to the town to find something to do, and wanted to make money to buy me food." He was lucky enough to meet a good Samaritan. The owner of a restaurant took pity on him, so he gave him all the leftovers and dishes from the guests. After I got it back, I made the food into porridge, which was enough for my sister and brother to eat for a few days. ”

Aunt Mancang couldn't help but be envious: "Yi Shu's luck is so good!" ”

Not to mention that it's not good to eat other people's leftovers, it's good for poor people to eat some. What's more, the leftovers in the restaurant have oil and water, and even the porridge is more hungry than the porridge with little water in their own clear soup. Seeing a thin layer of lard flowers floating on the surface of the sea bowl, Aunt Mancang was extremely happy. With this bowl of porridge, my grandson should be able to get through it, right?

"Thank you, Zhou Le. That, will it be too much, do you sisters and brothers have enough to eat? Although Aunt Mancang said so, she held the sea bowl tightly with both hands.

Li Zhoule naturally understood her mood, and smiled: "I kept some, enough for our two sisters and brothers to eat." What's more, Yi Shu also picked some wild vegetables yesterday, which can be eaten for two or three days. ”

Aunt Mancang sighed: "In today's weather, picking wild vegetables is really not an easy thing. That is, Yi Shu, this child is lucky. ”

Li Zhoule nodded, almost all the wild vegetables that could be eaten nearby were all drained, what else could be eaten? There are no mountains near the village, where the villagers can go up the mountain to pick up one or two hungry pheasants, hares, and frozen snakes to eat.

The two talked for a while, and Aunt Mancang was worried about her little grandson, so she took the sea bowl and left.

Li Zhoule stood in the cold wind for a while, his body was so cold that he couldn't stand it, and hurried into the house. Fortunately, when the house was repaired, the home was in good condition, and the house was strong, not leaking rain or wind, and it was much warmer when I walked in.

"Sister, was Aunt Mancang here just now?" Li Yishu walked out of the room with the book.

Li Zhoule snorted: "Xiaoxia is sick, Aunt Mancang wants to borrow some food and go back to make porridge for Xiaoxia." Yi Shu, I gave a bowl of porridge at home to Aunt Mancang, don't you mind? ”

"Of course I don't mind." Li Yishu said. The villagers are good to their brothers and sisters, after the death of their parents, everyone takes good care of their brothers and sisters, and now that their food problem has been solved, they have surplus food, and they naturally have to help the villagers, "But you can't let others know about the fairy baby, people are unpredictable." ”

Li Zhoule clicked on his head: "Do you still need to say it?" Sister, I've eaten more salt than you've ever eaten rice. ”

Li Yishu grimaced: "You are only four years older than me, how much salt can you eat?" ”

Li Zhoule was so annoyed that he poked Li Yishu's forehead: "Metaphor, do you understand metaphor?" ”

Li Yishu hurriedly retreated to get rid of his sister's magic hand: "I know, I know." I went to read a book. ”

With that, he turned around and slipped into his room. Li Zhoule stared at the shaking door curtain and smiled, he hadn't seen such a childish side of his little brother for many years, if the eldest brother came back, life would be even better!

………………

After Han Nuo had breakfast, he went out to find a decoration design company, although he would save a lot of money by finding someone to construct, but it was very worry-free to find a serious decoration company. Han Nuo was unwilling to let herself work hard in order to save a little money, not to mention, she was not short of money. In the years when she worked in the south, she earned a lot and saved a few dollars, not to mention, Wei Feng's savings are still in her hands - Wei Feng's parents died early, and he and his eldest brother, who was already married, had already separated from each other, and the pension was naturally left to his fiancΓ©e according to his wishes. Wei Feng's eldest brother and sister-in-law's family had a good life, ran a supermarket, and were not short of money, so naturally they would not ask for his younger brother's money for his life - Han Nuo did not use Wei Feng's savings, but just donated his pension to build a primary school in the name of Wei Feng in a remote mountainous area.

The environment of the community is very good, Han Nuo thought with satisfaction all the way. Fortunately, as soon as I returned to D City, I bought a house and moved out of the original community with Han's father and Han's mother, although it is located in the center of the city, the environment is much worse than the environment of today's community, and most of the people living in it are some elderly people. Once, Han Nuo was walking on the road in the community looking at his mobile phone, and was moved to tears by an article, and those eight women saw it, and rumors spread that Han Nuo had mental problems. After Han Nuo learned from his neighbors, he almost took a knife to cut those three aunts and six wives, confirming the rumors that he had mental problems-didn't you say that I was mentally ill? I don't have to pay legal responsibility for cutting you off.

The people in this community don't know each other, there are fewer disputes or anything, and no one runs to Han Nuo to say something out of tune, and the community is a big river outside, the riverside scenery is very good, the other side of the community is the city gymnasium, which has many fitness projects, Han's father and Han's mother left the original community not only did not adapt, but on the contrary, they were full of activities every day, and they were busier than Han Nuo.

"Han Nuo, you are Han Nuo, right?"

Han Nuo stared at the person who greeted him warmly suspiciously: "Are you-?" ”

The man laughed, "Don't know each other? I'm Ma Yanli. ”

Han Nuo stared at the man's familiar eyebrows and finally recognized it. Ma Yanli, her classmates from elementary school to high school for 12 years, have both fate and no fate. It is said that the two are in the same class from elementary school to high school, and the relationship between the two is not very good. The two had a better time in elementary school, but they were not particularly close, and Ma Yanli's best friend was never Han Nuo. It stands to reason that after graduating from primary school, there are very few people who can be in the same class with them, and the relationship between the two should be more intimate, but Ma Yanli has no close friends in elementary school, and she has a new one in junior high school, and then Dao High School also started again, and she never regarded Han Nuo as her best friend.
