Zhou Xiaoan touched the short stubble on his brother's head and smiled very gently, "You have taken good care of your sister!" You see, I'm all ready to eat now! ”

Zhou Xiaoquan smiled even brighter, "Then I'll let you stretch out your hand again!" ”

As he spoke, he went to the cabinet, took out a set of blue Lenin clothes with a click cloth from it like a trick, and unfolded it and put it in front of Zhou Xiaoan.

Zhou Xiaoan then remembered that the clothes she made in the street handicraft cooperative had not been brought back!

"Yesterday I was waiting for you in the small street, and the lady of the handicraft cooperative asked me to bring it back for you, saying that she had wanted to send it to you for a long time, and our family was too chaotic these days, and she was embarrassed to go." In the past few days, there have been many neighbors who have gone to their house under the pretext of going to their house, basically watching the excitement, and it is estimated that the eldest lady does not want people to misunderstand.

Zhou Xiaoan looked at the six large patches on his elbows, knees, and buttocks, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Clothes are expensive, and it would be good for poor families to make one in a few years, but they are afraid that they will be worn out, and the new clothes will be patched in places that are easy to wear.

Not only clothes, but also buy a new pair of socks, but also patch the heels and toes before wearing.

The handicraft cooperative does not give people a patching service, that is, the customer asks to play, and you have to take the fabric yourself, this is the eldest lady to see Zhou Xiao'an pitiful, such a big girl, make a set of clothes and be seriously injured, piece together and find a big cloth corner for her to mend.

Zhou Xiaoan looked at the patches that were very similar in color to clothes and had fine and neat stitches, and took a deep breath, "Take the scissors, they are all removed." ”

It's not that she doesn't know the appreciation, it's that she can't accept the transformation of new clothes into torn clothes in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Xiaoquan didn't understand the girl's thoughts, but he was very obedient, and let the dismantling start immediately, while carefully removing the stitches, he asked what to do with the things that his sister brought.

Last night, their luggage was directly put in the Westinghouse, and he packed it alone, and when he saw so much food inside, the children quickly put it away, and no one was allowed to see it.

"Give the cornmeal to the second uncle, let her add it to the porridge brought back from the canteen and cook it, and we can eat it too." Drinking grass root bark porridge for half a month, none of their sisters and brothers want to nourish their bodies.

"The bag of dried sweet potatoes is kept for the two of us as snacks, half of the oil tea noodles are left for us to eat, the rest is given to the wife with sugar, and the biscuits are given to the eldest brother and the second brother's children."

Zhou Xiaoquan listened to his sister's assignment, and said that he nodded his head, and he could still give his opinion, "Sister, the roast chicken is not easy to explain, we can't take it out." The second uncle is not easy to fool, yesterday we bought food, and the old man didn't see it, so he guessed about it.

He must be suspicious when he takes out the roast chicken, and it will be bad if it affects the uncle. I won't eat the oil tea noodles, keep your share, and give the rest to the wife! ”

Zhou Xiaoan smiled, it is simple to be with a person who is dedicated to protecting you, no matter what is unreasonable, he can find a reasonable reason for you, "Mrs. still has sugar, give her all the sugar." You have to eat oil tea noodles, can you grow up hungry all the time? Sister, I'll have to rely on you to support me in the future! ”

As soon as Zhou Xiaoquan heard this, he immediately stopped refusing. Now growing tall and growing strength is his most urgent thing, and he can't do anything about his sister being beaten, he definitely can't accept it again.

After removing the patch, Zhou Xiaoan put on new clothes. In recent days, she has lost a lot of weight, and she was going to wear a sweater in the spring, but now the padded jacket is not tight.

"Sister, I don't eat roast chicken, you can eat more......" Zhou Xiaoquan looked at his thin and thin sister, and tears were about to come out.

Zhou Xiaoan sighed, "I can't eat if I want to, I'm recuperating from my injuries, you don't know, now I eat too many things with heavy colors, and the wound will be easy to leave scars in the future!" ”

Zhou Xiaoquan had never heard of this kind of statement at all, but seeing that her sister was so serious about this matter, she immediately paid attention to it, "Then what should I do?" You can't stop eating meat! How can you not eat something good to recuperate! ”

"I've got rock candy!" Zhou Xiaoan took out a large packet of rock candy from his schoolbag and showed it to his younger brother, "Eating this is good for your skin!" ”

At noon, the second uncle came back with a big bowl of grass root bark porridge and two nests, "You two have paid so much food, eating this is a grievance for the two of you, but our village is now under this condition, the second uncle and mother-in-law want to cook something for the two of you, there is no pot, you two eat some of this, and then the food brought is hot, and those are left for the two of you to eat by yourself......"

That's it, it's a special application from the second uncle and the brigade, and people who don't go to the construction site at home don't have this meal at noon, let alone wowotou.

The second uncle is very embarrassed, the countrymen are simple, and the guests come to take out the best things in the house to entertain, how can any guest bring so much food and eat grass roots and bark......

Zhou Xiaoan and Zhou Xiaoquan are not polite people, they only look at the second uncle and smile when they say the kind words that should be said, so that the two are really children, and the second uncle likes them more.

She took Zhou Xiaoan's hand, looked at her and sighed, "Girl, your second uncle told me about you, just come back with him!" If you are so angry at home, how can you heal your injuries!

The second uncle and mother-in-law don't have anything to eat, maybe you can live in a hot kang and sleep peacefully! You're here to live! After healing the injury, go back to work, and then move to the factory, don't let them see your face!

That's an elder, we can't do anything with her, but we can't let her fight so casually, we can't afford to provoke it, just hide! You can't afford to let yourself suffer such a big loss again! ”

Zhou Xiao'an couldn't help nodding, "Second uncle, I listen to you, I won't go back to the factory when I go back." ”

Then take out the things that the sister and brother have divided and give to the second uncle, the second uncle said that she would not accept anything, and the sister and brother persuaded her again and again, and she accepted it, "You honor your wife, I will accept it for her, don't hide it from the two of you, your wife has a bad mouth and a weak stomach, how big is the canteen this year, her old man has suffered a big crime......

"The second uncle of cornmeal keeps it for the two of you to make paste, and it takes so much advantage of the two of you, if the second uncle eats this grain again, it will have to turn into stone in the stomach!"

The second uncle and mother-in-law hurriedly went out, cooked thick cornmeal porridge for the sisters and brothers in a clay pot, put it down and left, saying that she would not drink a sip of anything.

Zhou Xiaoquan went to get a big bowl and left a bowl for his wife, and the sisters and brothers started to eat lunch.

As for the two black wowotou made of unknown materials, with the bowl of porridge in the morning as an example, neither of them had the courage to touch it.

Zhou Xiaoan took out the roast chicken for his younger brother to eat half, put several large pieces of rock sugar in the porridge, and at noon on Chinese New Year's Eve, there were no firecrackers, no New Year's greetings, and the siblings usually ate a quiet lunch with heat and heat.

After eating, Zhou Xiaoquan filled the kang hole with some firewood, and while waiting for the fire to finish, he gossiped with his sister in a mess.

I heard that there was an old man in the west of the city who slept in his wife's ash jar;

The fool in the courtyard is hiding in the house these days and can't come out, Tang Qingjun can't find it by lying on the window, suspecting that the fool has run away;

What did he see on the day he came that the fool was lame and came back, and his good leg was also lame, and it was said that he went to the countryside to collect rags and was bitten by a dog......

Just as he was talking lively, a rapid gong sound suddenly sounded on the street outside the courtyard, Zhou Xiaoquan stopped for a moment, and looked at his sister in a panic, he didn't want to tell her, but now he couldn't help but say it.

"Sister, there are starving people in the village again, this is the second one today."
