Zhou Ping glared at his mother in shock, "Mother! At that point, my sister is not enough to eat! If you can't deal with it in the spring of next year, my sister will have to starve to death......"

"Tsk! It's really expensive! There are so many children in our family, no one has eaten any kudzu root powder, and no one has starved to death! Wang Fengying sat cross-legged on the kang and shrugged her upper body, twisted her face to the window, and said cool words.

"Milk ......" Zhou Ping looked at Mrs. Zhou pleadingly.

"Don't call me milk! You still have me, a dead old lady in your eyes! Mrs. Zhou also turned her face away from their mother and daughter.

Zhou Ping's tears flowed down again, and he looked at his mother helplessly.

"Go ahead......" Li Guizhi seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and said to Zhou Ping in a breathy voice.

……

Zhou Chen pushed the door and walked into the house, and what he saw was this scene. The women of the family sat around the brazier, Zhou Hongying and Zhou Ling were holding a bowl and drinking kudzu powder in a big gulp, the air was filled with the taste of sweet and sour food, and Zhou Wanwan was thrown alone on the kang tip, staring at them with big black eyes.

Hearing the voice, Zhou Wanwan turned her head and gave Zhou Chen a bright smile. Zhou Chen's heart was sour, soft and painful, and he hurriedly trotted towards his sister.

"What are you doing here? Didn't the whole team go to manure in the afternoon? You've been delaying for a few more hours in the afternoon! When Mrs. Zhou saw Zhou Chen enter the house, she immediately asked in a sharp voice.

Zhou Chen picked up his sister and put it face to face with her, in exchange for a big smile from his sister. "I told the captain, come back and see the girl."

"What do you see her doing? There are so many people in the family, what else can she do? ”

"I'll come back and pee on the girl, and I'll be gone in a while." Zhou Chen didn't entangle with Mrs. Zhou too much, picked up his sister and went back to the West House. Mrs. Zhou's scolding sounded behind him again: "One or two of them treat a girl as a golden egg!" There's no old man in my eyes, what's the use of feeding you......"

Zhou Chen took Zhou Wanwan back to the west room, first unwrapped the quilt and urinated for her, after a few times, Zhou Wanwan was almost used to it, she didn't care about being shy, and immediately released the water, this morning, she was suffocated.

"That's good! Didn't pee your pants today! Zhou Chen kissed his sister's little face and praised her. Then he wrapped her up and put her on the kang and walked out again, and came back with a bowl of hot water after a while, plugged them in, and began to make malt milk essence for Zhou Wanwan.

Zhou Wanwan saw that Zhou Chen's face was very bad, and when she hugged her and fed her malt cream, her eyes were a little red. She knew that Zhou Chen was stimulated by what she saw when she entered the house. After two days of observation, Zhou Wanwan found that her second brother was a very smart and sensitive child.

"Brother......" Zhou Wanwan stretched out her little hand from the quilt to touch Zhou Chen's tight little face, trying to comfort him.

"What do you call me? Call it again! Zhou Wanwan didn't expect Zhou Chen's eyes to be round in surprise, as if she was afraid of scaring her, she forcibly suppressed her excitement, and her hands holding the bowl trembled with excitement, "Call again." ”

Zhou Wanwan remembered, now she can't speak, in her previous life, the eldest brother said that she would only speak in the autumn when she was two years old, and as for leaving, she was almost three years old......

"Brother." Zhou Wanwan screamed clearly again. Calling my brother can coax Zhou Chen well, it's really cost-effective.

"Scream again?"

"Brother."

"Scream again."

"Brother."

……

After screaming for almost ten times, Zhou Chen recovered a little from his happy and stupid state, and pointed to himself to teach Zhou Wanwan: "Second brother." ”

Zhou Wanwan repeated obediently: "Second brother." ”

"You're so smart!" Zhou Chen kissed her little yellow hair hard, and then continued: "Big brother." ”

Zhou Wanwan was very cooperative: "Big brother." ”

"Who am I?"

"Second brother."

"Who else is in the house?"

"Big brother."

Zhou Chen was crazy with joy, how could my sister be so smart! Ah! I've never seen such a smart kid!

"It's a bowl."

"Bowl."

"It's a spoon."

"Spoon."

"This is a wooden spoon, we used to have an iron spoon, the iron spoon is good, feed the Nan Nan without leaking, it is still small, but it is too much. Later, when the second brother earns money, he will buy an iron spoon for Nannan. Zhou Chen was probably overjoyed, and he was a little incoherent and grinding at his sister.

"Wooden spoon. Iron spoon. Zhou Wanwan decided to ignore the second brother who suddenly changed into a chatterbox, and led the focus of the brother-sister conversation to a more normal range.

"Why are you so smart! Why are you so smart! Zhou Chen put Zhou Wanwan's arm around her and lifted her in a circle, smiling so much that her eyes were full of crescents.

"Clever!" In order to make Zhou Chen happy, Zhou Wanwan decided to carry out the cleverness to the end.

Zhou Chen became even more excited, and began to teach Zhou Wanwan the furnishings in the room and said, "This is the table." ”

"Table."

"Kang."

"Kang."

…… When the water was taught, Zhou Wanwan had an idea, and stretched out his little arms to the big bowl with half a bowl of boiled water, "Water, touch it." ”

"Do you want to touch the water? Okay, let's touch. Zhou Chen smiled and hugged his sister to touch the water.

Zhou Wanwan put one finger into the bowl and smiled, and the other pointed to the window in the opposite direction: "What is that?" ”

Zhou Chen followed her finger to look at the window, and in just a moment, Zhou Wanwan replaced the boiled water in the bowl with spiritual spring water, and added colorless and tasteless energy supplements to the bowl. Zhou Chen still drank a bowl of vegetable leaves in the morning, and it was estimated that he would be hungry at this time. This energy supplement doesn't feel full, but it provides all the energy your body needs so you don't feel hungry.

After playing a talking game for a while, Mrs. Zhou had already begun to urge Zhou Chen to go to work in the East House. Zhou Wanwan pointed to the water in the big bowl and asked Zhou Chen to drink it: "Second brother, drink." ”

Zhou Chen drank it happily, and kissed Zhou Wanwan's little face with a smile: "It's so sweet!" ”

Zhou Wanwan also smiled, "Tu (sweet)!" "I don't have teeth, and some words are still not clear. Zhou Chen wiped the saliva that was sprayed by his sister and laughed.

Zhou Wanwan shyly buried her little face in Zhou Chen's neck. I have no face to see people, I have lived a handful of years, and I still have a big tongue......

After Zhou Chen left, Zhou Wanwan fed herself, and struggled to pull her little arms and legs out of the quilt, she wanted to start exercising, and strive to be able to climb and walk as soon as possible. Not being able to move freely is such a delay.

The advantage of being ignored by everyone is that no one notices what she does, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

Zhou Wanwan exercised like this for a while and slept for a while, but there was no way, the body was still too weak, and I was tired after a few movements. Hectic and busy, the afternoon passed quickly.

When it was dark, Zhou Wanwan woke up again, and Zhou Juan, who went to the Xu family in the town, came back. After a while, the men who had been working also returned. The Zhou family suddenly became lively.

The main reason for today's excitement is that Zhou Juan brought back half a piece of bean cake from Xu's house, so that next year the sauce will be served, and the entire Sanjiatun has not seen the shadow of the sauce for several years! Northeast people can't leave the miso without anything, it's good now, and you can eat pickles next year.

What made the Zhou family even more excited, Zhou Juan actually brought back half of the pig from the Xu family into the water! It is said that Xu Weiguo was sent back on a bicycle! Zhou Juan sat on the back seat of the bicycle and carried half of the pig into the water, oops! This is really something that makes the eldest girl and little daughter-in-law in the tunzi envious. Bicycles are rarely ridden by people in the city, pigs are meat when they go into the water, and in this disaster year when the grass roots are dug up, what a good life it must be to eat a mouthful of meat!

Until the end of dinner, the entire Zhou family was in a particularly excited state, there was half a pig water on the place, and even the vegetable leaves in the evening became delicious. For dinner, of course, it was still vegetable leaves with old pickles, and the pig was repeatedly wrapped by Mrs. Zhou several times and hung on the beam of the warehouse. Keep the eldest daughter Zhou Hongxiang back to eat.

It wasn't until it was completely dark that the Zhou family dispersed. Of course, there are no lights at night, people have not seen an oil star for several years, how can there be oil to light the lights. Fortunately, today is the fourteenth day of the winter moon, and the big moon hangs brightly in the sky, and even through the thick window paper, you can clearly see the outline of things, and for people who are used to the darkness, it is completely fine to do work such as burning kang and laying quilts in such light.

Zhou Yang finished his work very quickly, and Zhou Chen also finished feeding Zhou Wanwan. The three of them were lying in the quilt, and Zhou Chen asked Zhou Yang to look at him as if he was offering a treasure, and asked Zhou Wanwan: "Nannan, who am I?" ”

Zhou Wanwan was very cooperative with her second brother, and called him in a milky voice: "Second brother." ”

Zhou Chen pointed at Zhou Yang again, "Who is this?" ”

Zhou Wanwan then called: "Big brother." ”

Zhou Yang woke up from the shock at this time, snatched Zhou Wanwan from Zhou Chen's bed, stared at his nose with wide eyes and asked his sister: "Call again, who am I?" ”

Zhou Wanwan stretched out her little arm to wrap her arms around the eldest brother's neck, and her small body snuggled up to the eldest brother's chest, which was not generous now but always made her feel warm and safe, and shouted with a dependence and inexplicable grievance that she was not aware of: "Big brother."

Zhou Yang was so moved to tears by this big brother's cry that it took a long time before he choked up and coaxed his sister: "Call again." ”

"Big brother." Zhou Wanwan screamed again obediently.

Zhou Yang hugged his sister tightly and burst into tears uncontrollably. "Little Er, my sister can speak!"

Zhou Chen also shed tears. Only he and Zhou Yang understood the meaning of these tears at this moment. My sister died when she was three months old, and in such a catastrophic year, the two brothers worked hard to keep their sister alive, and they didn't dare to sleep for many nights, for fear that as soon as they fell asleep, their sister would die...... Since the beginning of winter, looking at their sister's increasingly weak little body, they have almost despaired......

Now, my sister is not only alive, but even able to speak! For the brothers, this is not only a surprise, but also a hope. They finally saw the hope that their sister would survive.

"My sister can still talk a lot!" Zhou Chen wiped a handful of tears, began to show off with his eldest brother, pointed to the table on the ground, and asked his sister, "Nan, what is this?" ”

"Table."

Zhou Chen pointed again, "What is this?" ”

"Kang."
