Chapter 10: Wheat

Ten days later, Zhou Wanwan gave her two brothers a comprehensive physical examination, and the results were very optimistic. They are all physically strong to the standard of their peers, and they don't need to take any more medicine. In the future, as long as you continue to drink spiritual spring water and spiritual liquid, you will be able to reach the level predicted during the first physical examination, and you will be healthy for the rest of your life.

Zhou Wanwan's health level has also improved greatly, which is inseparable from her diligent exercise every day. Even Zhou Chen, who plays finger breaking games with Zhou Wanwan every day, said, "Nan Nan has grown a lot!" ”

Zhou Yang and Zhou Chen are now accustomed to playing water feeding games with their sister every night, and Zhou Wanwan doesn't have to worry about how to let them drink spiritual spring water and energy supplements.

Looking at the brighter and brighter eyes and bright smiles of the brothers, Zhou Wanwan slowly settled down. She is really back, her life with her brothers is slowly getting better, and she has the ability to change the tragic fate of the three brothers and sisters in her previous life. Zhou Wanwan felt that her heart was full of strength, endless, it was the urgency to protect her relatives, the warmth of being loved by her brothers, and the steadfastness of controlling her life by her own efforts.

So Zhou Wanwan worked harder to exercise her little arms and legs, and she had to gain mobility immediately in order to create opportunities to find food for her brothers. Now that my brothers eat energy supplements every day, I don't have to worry about my health, but my stomach is hungry, and the feeling of satiety and the enjoyment of my taste buds being satisfied can't be replaced by any nutrients, so she has to make her brothers full as soon as possible.

On this afternoon, Zhou Wanwan was basking in the rare warm winter sun stretching her arms and legs, and when the door knocked outside, a thin old lady with gray hair came in. In other words, the characteristic of dry and thin is really unrecognizable in this era, all people, most of them are dry and thin, and a small half are swollen, if there is a fat man, it is the attention of everyone.

When Mrs. Zhou saw the old lady who entered the house, she immediately enthusiastically let her go to the kang: "Old sister, why do you have the kung fu (time) to come to our house?" Take off your shoes and go to the kang and sit on the kang! It's hot! As she spoke, Mrs. Zhou pushed the cigarette basket over and enthusiastically let the cigarette go, "You smoke!" In this catastrophic year, all the dry tobacco planted at home has died, but the leaves of this wild tobacco have grown! ”

This is the first guest of the Zhou family in these days, Zhou Wanwan looked at this old lady very seriously, and vaguely recognized it, this is Zhao Si Niang from Da Qian Street, but she has the impression that Zhao Si Niang is fatter than now, and it is estimated that it is because the disaster year has passed and she can eat enough. Zhao Si Niang is famous for being able to protect the media and pull fiber in more than a dozen tuns in the Sanjiatun area, and she can say that there are several pairs of farmers every year.

"It's not like that! This thing grows well, but it can't be eaten, if only it could be eaten! Zhao Si Niang and Mrs. Zhou talked a few idle words, and then began to get down to business," ...... Chunlai and Yufen'er have also been engaged for two years, what are your family plans for? Why don't you do the two children's family affairs in Layue this year? Zhou Wanwan heard it, this Yufen is her fourth aunt Shen Yufen, in her previous life, she and her fourth uncle Zhou Chunlai should have been married around 62, but she can't remember the specific time.

Mrs. Zhou didn't immediately reply to this matter, "Old sister, you don't know when I can go back to the water conservancy construction site where Chunlai is, I have to ask someone, and then discuss with the old man of our family what to do about this matter." ”

"Okay! The marriage of this child is a big deal, and no one can negotiate it. Although Zhao Simao came with the resentment of the Shen family - in the countryside at that time, they began to discuss marriage after two years of engagement, and the marriage of the Zhou family was not mentioned, and no one came, and they didn't even understand a word, and the Shen family had a lot of opinions. Looking for a matchmaker, Zhao Simi, complained very much - but when it comes to matchmaking, you have to rely on the matchmaker's mouth, and the words have to be said in a good way, and both sides are smooth, so that the matchmaker can say no.

The two chatted a few more words, and Zhao Simao put on her shoes and went to the ground, ready to leave.

Mrs. Zhou kept a few words, then went to open the cabinet, and found a few pieces of dried sweet potatoes in the cabinet with dried sweet potatoes and grain on the kang, which looked like two or two, and there was nothing to wrap up, so she handed it to Zhao Simao barely, "Old sister, don't dislike it, take it back and give it to the children to chew and chew as snacks." "According to the custom of Sanjiatun, the matchmaker passed the word to the two families that he wanted to leave a good meal. In a catastrophic year, it is impossible to leave outsiders to eat at home, and there is nothing to entertain guests, and there is no food to be willing to eat. Therefore, Mrs. Zhou's thank you gift for these dried sweet potatoes was very heavy at that time.

Zhao Si Niang accepted it after a slight prevarication, and repeatedly promised before leaving: "Big sister, don't worry, you have discussed, I will deliver a message to the Shen family after discussion, and I will ensure that nothing goes wrong (accident)." ”

Zhou Wanwan looked at Mrs. Zhou's usual efforts to pick on her grandchildren and granddaughters, but she didn't expect that this coal gift was quite generous, which shows that she is still very satisfied with this fourth aunt.

However, no matter how satisfied you are, you can't resist the embarrassment of lack of food, Layue married in, missed the time of distributing grain in the autumn, and had to feed a person for nothing for a whole year, in this mouthful of food may be a catastrophe year of a life, no one can feed a person for so much, and no matter how satisfied the daughter-in-law is, she can't marry into the door.

Sure enough, after Old Man Zhou came back in the evening, the family decided not to marry without discussion. Zhou Wanwan didn't know how Mrs. Zhou brought a message to Zhao Sima, and there was no room for their three siblings to talk about this matter, so they dispersed quickly.

Back in the Westinghouse, Zhou Wanwan found that Zhou Chen was a little weird today. After burning the kang, laying out the quilt, and feeding Zhou Wanwan, Zhou Chen didn't tease Zhou Wanwan much, nor did he play finger breaking or Feifeifei games with her, a little unrelenting.

Even Zhou Yang, who was a little rough, could see it, "Little Er, what's wrong with you?" Is it too tiring to work, the production team is about to run out of work, and after picking wheat seeds (wheat seeds), the cat will be winter, if not, don't go, I'll go to tell grandpa and grandma. ”

Zhou Chen didn't speak, and said, "Big brother, I'll go out for a while, and you take the girl to sleep first." And he ran out.

Zhou Yang was very strange, but he didn't stop it, took Zhou Wanwan to lie down, teased her for a while, and fell asleep in the middle of speaking.

Zhou Wanwan tucked the quilt for Zhou Yang and touched his face, the eldest brother is too tired, at such a young age, doing heavy physical work that is difficult for adults to bear every day, although there is spiritual spring water and energy supplements to nourish it, it will not cause harm to the body, but physical fatigue is still inevitable.

Zhou Wanwan didn't dare to sleep, she had to wait for Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen is very wrong today, don't let anything happen.

About an hour later, Zhou Chen quietly dripped back, entered the door very lightly, inserted the door carefully, walked to the edge of the kang, shook Zhou Yang awake, and took out a handful of things in his arms to show Zhou Yang.

"It's ...... Wheat seeds! There was suppressed surprise in Zhou Yang's voice, "Xiao Er, what do you say is going on?!" You went to steal it? It's a great sin to be caught! Have you forgotten why our mom has no land!? ”

Zhou Chen pursed his lips silently and did not speak.

"Xiao Er, you tell my brother, my brother will find a way for you, if you really want to arrest me, let them arrest me, don't be afraid, tell my brother, what is the matter for you." Zhou Yang saw that his younger brother didn't speak, he was anxious and angry, but he still maintained his younger brother's heart and prevailed, and the first thing he thought of was not to let his younger brother be arrested. It is estimated that his mother's incident impressed him too deeply, and he was arrested and criticized, which represents the separation of flesh and blood and death, and Zhou Yang must not let his younger brother suffer this crime.

Zhou Wanwan almost burst into tears when he heard this, the eldest brother's love for his younger siblings has always been so unreserved, even if he encountered a major event that seemed to him to be life-threatening, he never thought of taking a step back, at any time, he stood in front of his younger siblings like a mountain, sheltering them from the wind and rain.

Zhou Chen's stubborn silence collapsed under his brother's unconditional love, "Big brother, it's not that I stole it, you listen to me......"

It turned out that when picking wheat seeds in the team today, Zhou Chen accidentally found that Sun Da, a famous lazy man in the team, had no face to secretly dig a pit in the snow to bury wheat seeds, and he should be going to bury them first, and then come back in the middle of the night to get them back.

“…… I don't want to denounce him, because two of his six children are starving to death, and I can't keep any food left...... Mom was just denounced, I can't do this kind of thing......" Zhou Chen pondered in his heart for a long time, and decided not to denounce Sun Da for having no face, originally wanted to pretend that he didn't see it, but the attraction of food was too great, he hadn't actually eaten a mouthful of food for a few years, and finally decided to get some back, "...... He dug four pits in the snow shell, and I took a little from each of them, and he couldn't find it. I buried him as it was, and he drew a circle on each of the snow pits, and I looked at it during the day, and drew him as it was, and I didn't leave any footprints, but walked on his footprints. After all, he was young, and Zhou Chen said with a little naughty pride at the end.

Zhou Yang sighed, took everything, he could only do this first, he repeatedly told his younger brother: "If there is really something, you will say that I gave it to you, don't admit anything, push it on me, you know?" ”

Zhou Chen pursed his lips and didn't speak, and took the wheat out of his arms, it turned out that he had a small cloth bag in his arms, which contained about three catties of wheat.

"Brother, you eat, I'm all cooked." Zhou Chen smiled and stuffed his pocket into Zhou Yang's arms.

"Where did you burn it? Not seen, right? Zhou Yang was still very worried about this matter, and he didn't have the heart to eat wheat at all.

"When I lit the brazier at night, I left a fire in the broken tile basin behind the barn, which I burned just now."

"What about fire? It's gone, but don't let people look at it. "Zhou Yang is now a soldier of all grass and trees.

"Don't worry, it's already buried in the snow, and I'll also put a pot of snow on the broken tile pot and put it behind the warehouse......"
