"Rong Niang, are you finally here to pick up your sister-in-law......

When ordinary people see their loved ones who have passed away decades ago, they should be more frightened than surprised, right?

Anyway, when An Ruyi saw her sister-in-law Liu Rong, and saw that she still maintained her youthful beauty that was almost the same as in her memory, and when she stood in front of her so pretty, not only was she not frightened, but after a slight flurry, she suddenly guessed that she must have reached her limit.

At the moment, An Ruyi felt a little regretful in her heart, and there was a feeling of finally being relieved.

Finally, I don't have to worry about the slightest expectation that I still secretly hide in my heart. After so many years, she buried her head in the sand like an ostrich, refusing to face the reality, and now she is finally free?

Looking back on the days of these years, I only have eight words: unbearable to look back, life has nothing to love.

Thinking of his grievances in the early years, he forbears it, not only did he not exchange for the safety and smoothness of his children, but he led the wolf into the house and caused the family to not get a good end, An Ruyi has lived a really painful and tormenting life all these years.

No one can confide in such pain, so at this time, when she saw her sister-in-law, who had a good relationship with her since childhood, she suddenly couldn't help it, and her heart was remorseful, painful, hateful and wronged...... stepped forward to hug Liu Rong, choked up but couldn't say a word, and cried like a child who only cared about catharsis.

"Sister-in-law."

Looking at her sister-in-law who was starving and fainting when she woke up and saw herself, she hugged herself and cried, Liu Rong's eyes became sour, and tears fell out one after another, and they became more and more ferocious.

In the blink of an eye, my brother's military service was two years, thousands of miles away, and at the beginning, he could ask someone to bring back a word and some silver, but later, for some reason, slowly no news came back. Fortunately, it is comforting that there is no bad news from the government.

There is no labor at home, and my sister-in-law, a weak woman, has to take two young nephews and nieces, and life is not difficult to describe, which has reached the point where I can't survive. I heard that there are still battles at the border pass, and my brother will definitely not be able to come back for a while, and the days to come will be long, what can I do if it goes on like this?

When Jiang Zijie heard the sound and came in to visit, what he saw was the two sisters-in-law hugging their heads and crying. He sighed, did not disturb them, and quietly withdrew.

Yesterday, when I received a message from the butcher next door that Rong Niang's sister-in-law fainted at home, the husband and wife didn't sleep all night, if it wasn't for the city gate being closed and they couldn't get out of the city, they would have come overnight. Fortunately, it was not too late to come today, and according to the doctor they brought, the sister-in-law was fine, but she was hungry.

Since the eldest brother-in-law was drafted into the army, only a weak woman with young children was left in the family, and she relied on embroidery to make a living. The reason why I was hungry this time was because the rice and grain at home could not be connected, and my sister-in-law was afraid that the child would be hungry, so she was reluctant to eat, and as a result, alas......

He actually knew that Rong Niang often helped them on weekdays, and even secretly used his own dowry as a void. Because of this, the old lady in the family is very resentful, and she feels that Rong Niang eats inside and out, and only focuses on her mother's family, not only complaining in front of him, but also showing Rong Niang's face from time to time, all kinds of difficulties.

If it weren't for the sake of the two eldest grandsons, as well as his private dealings on both sides, I'm afraid that the family would have been at peace for a long time.

It's just that the situation on Rong Niang's sister-in-law's side still doesn't look good. He knew in his heart that Rong Niang's dowry was empty, and he was afraid that he would not be able to help him anymore, but the livelihood of the family would still be a big problem in the future. Thinking that Rong Niang would be restless and anxious because of this, Jiang Zijie had a headache and secretly hated himself for not being capable.

There's a reason why I didn't have a hand before...... A large family in the family is waiting for dinner, and their family's life is just to be able to mix food and clothing, not to mention the balance, not to mention, just to say that because the old lady is in charge, if he has a fixed amount of money and food every month, there is almost no extra money to get, and if the money taken back is suddenly less. I am also afraid that the old lady will make trouble, and the conflict between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will become more and more intense. said that this time, the money to buy food and ask the doctor was borrowed from the old lady.

But he just has 10,000 kinds of difficulties, and he doesn't have the difficulties of his brother-in-law's family now. In today's situation, if he stands by and doesn't help, he is afraid that he will ...... After only a slight hesitation, Jiang Zijie made a decision in his heart. No matter what, we can't let today's events happen again. Let him think about it more, there will always be a way.

Alas, no matter how difficult their family is, they can still get by, and Rong Niang only has such a brother, and now life and death are unpredictable, if the sister-in-law, nephews and nieces can't live anymore, he doesn't dare to think how sad Rong Niang will be, even he can't get over this hurdle in his heart.

As soon as he thought that Rong Niang might be grief-stricken, he shook his head silently in his heart, and he would come up with a way.

As soon as he came out of the house, he saw Liu Huairan, who was already seven years old, with red and swollen eyes, and was carefully holding a bowl of rice porridge to enter the house. This rice porridge is boiled with the rice they brought today. When they arrived, they saw that the rice jar in the kitchen and the cupboard were empty and there was nothing to eat, and there was nothing more than a desolation.

Seeing him, Liu Huairan stood respectfully, and whispered in a hoarse voice: "Uncle." ”

Jiang Zijie nodded, touched his little head, and turned sideways slightly to let him in.

This child has been frightened for the past two days, and last night he was alone and did not close his eyes all night.

Fortunately, Aunt Zhang, a neighbor, heard the cry and felt that something was wrong, and when she heard the news, she came over to help settle down and take care of most of the night, and finally took the small one to take care of at home.

"The doctor said that although your mother will be fine when she wakes up, she still hurts her body. If you don't take good care of it, you may not have the good luck this time again. ”

sighed secretly, "You have also grown up, usually pay more attention to it, if there is no rice at home in the future, don't let your mother hold on, just go find someone to borrow some first, and then ask someone to come to the shop to tell my uncle, my uncle will naturally think about it." Don't be as reckless as this time. Where there is life, there is hope. There is always hope in life, and if it is gone, it is really a hundred. ”

After all, I was still not at ease, so I gave more instructions.

"My nephew knows, and Uncle Xie is worried." Liu Huairan nodded tearfully. He bowed respectfully to his uncle. Daddy said that men don't flick when they have tears just because they haven't reached the sad place. On weekdays, no matter what happens, he will not shed tears easily, but yesterday when he saw his mother suddenly fall to the ground, lying there motionless, no matter how he couldn't wake up, he was so afraid that he couldn't do anything but cry loudly. Then Aunt Zhang came, helped move her mother to the kang, and accompanied him for a while, helping to coax her sister, and also took her sister back to take care of her, took food and came over, and persuaded him.

He didn't dare to close his eyes all night guarding his mother, until today, when his aunt and uncle came with a doctor. Suddenly, he felt that he was not as ignorant as he used to be, and he really saw everything in his eyes and remembered it.

Looking back on the past few days, the family has almost cut off cooking, and there is not much black noodles left, so they all dig some wild vegetables to cook and eat together. The family mainly relies on the wild vegetables they dig up...... Every day, he would take his sister to dig wild vegetables, look for wild fruits, and pick up some firewood with his mother.

It's a pity that my sister is still young, and they don't dare to go too far into the depths of the forest, so there are not many wild vegetables that can be dug up.

These days, there are more and more people looking for wild vegetables and fruits in the mountains, and gradually there are fewer and fewer wild vegetables that can be dug up.

Every time he came to dinner, his mother didn't eat much, she just fed her sister, and persuaded him to eat, and every time he asked, her mother would tell him that she had eaten first. He even believed it, and ate everything with his sister. In fact, if you think about it, my mother has always taken care of him and his sister first, how could she eat it herself before they have eaten?

Watching his mother fall, he hated himself for being brainless. Fortunately, my aunt and uncle came, brought a doctor to rescue my mother, and brought rice and grain. If something really happened to his mother, he thought he would hate him for the rest of his life.

The grace of receiving a drop of water should be repaid with a spring, and Aunt Zhang's aunt, aunt, and uncle are more than the grace of a drop of water. When he grows up, he will definitely repay him.

"Go ahead." With a sigh, Jiang Zijie didn't say anything more.

Holding the porridge bowl into the house, Liu Huairan carefully avoided the two sisters-in-law who were still hugging each other, but the crying was getting quieter, and they were afraid that the bowl would be touched. He first put the bowl on the table and put it safely, and then called, "Mother has drunk porridge." ”

An Ruyi looked up and was stunned to see her son, who had shrunk countless times. Is this really the Netherworld? Isn't her Huai Ran still alive and well, how could she appear here and become so small all of a sudden?

Looking around, the house was very dilapidated, and it was suddenly their old house many years ago, but she remembered that later, didn't it be demolished and rebuilt into a three-hall courtyard?

An Ruyi's whole body was in a daze—who was going to tell her what the hell was going on?
