Chapter 11: Shock

While the Zhou Yang brothers were discussing the aftermath, Zhou Wanwan took the small bag containing wheat into his arms to see, Zhou Yang looked at her curiously, afraid that she would freeze out of the bed, so he had to put the pocket in the quilt and hold her. Zhou Wanwan took advantage of Zhou Yang's time to let go of his hand for a while, and replaced the wheat that was half burned and half sandwiched by Zhou Chen with baked crispy high-quality space wheat, and the quantity also increased a little, and he didn't dare to add too much, for fear that his brothers would see it. Then she decided to increase it a little bit every day, trying to let this bag of wheat eat until she had a chance to get food from the space for her brothers.

After the brothers finished chatting, they finally turned their attention to wheat, and Zhou Wanwan grabbed a handful of wheat and stuffed it into Zhou Yang's hand, "Big brother, eat!" Grab another handful and give it to Zhou Chen, "Second brother, eat!" ”

The brothers glanced at each other, and Zhou Yang held Zhou Wanwan's little face and began to educate her: "Nannan, you must not tell anyone about tonight's events, the eldest brother and the second brother will be arrested, you will never see the eldest brother and the second brother again, you know?" No one can ask! ”

Zhou Wanwan nodded obediently, "Don't tell anyone if you ask!" "She's been speaking so fast lately, and she's gone from jumping words and words to being able to speak simple sentences.

Zhou Chen came over to inspect Zhou Yang's educational achievements, "If someone asks the eldest brother and the second brother what they are doing tonight, what do you say?" ”

Zhou Wanwan tilted her little head, "Sleep, snoring!" ”

Zhou Yang hugged Zhou Wanwan and kissed her, "Our family is so smart!" ”

Zhou Chen was still not at ease, "Someone asked you, did the eldest brother and the second brother eat wheat, what do you say?" ”

Zhou Wanwan blinked her big eyes, "What is wheat?" ”

Zhou Chen and Zhou Yang looked at each other and laughed, and Zhou Chen couldn't help but kiss his sister's little face loudly, "We are so smart, let's just say that!" ”

After all their worries were solved, the brothers began to eat wheat with confidence. Zhou Yangzai chewed a few grains carefully, and sighed infinitely, "It's so delicious!" Turning her head to feed the wheat she chewed in her mouth to Zhou Wanwan, who was blinking at him with big eyes, Zhou Wanwan fluttered in her eldest brother's arms for a while, and finally couldn't resist Zhou Yang's brute strength, and was forcibly fed mouth-to-mouth. Zhou Wanwan flashed little tears and protested in her heart, the little baby really has no human rights! But, well, it's delicious.

Zhou Chen also chewed the wheat grains with great cherishment, and said nostalgically: "I don't remember the last time I ate wheat...... Was it when I was six years old, we went to pick ears of wheat with my mother, and my mother burned it for us to eat in the wheat field? ”

"No," Zhou Yang's voice was a little dim, "It's this spring, Mom made us pimple soup......

In the spring of 61, the lame man of the Wubaohu in Tundongtou died, and when the production team collected his body, they found that he still had four or five catties of flour in store, and he starved to death with these four or five catties of flour. It is said that in the early years he had a son who went out to serve as a soldier, and later it was rumored that his son died, but he did not believe it and waited for his son to return. It is estimated that this flour was left for his son.

There are more than 400 people in the seventh production team of the Erdaokan Brigade where they are located, and it is impossible to divide these four or five catties of flour equally according to the population.

At that time, there were two mothers in the Zhou family, one of whom divided one catty and two taels of flour, and Li Guizhi handed over all of them to Mrs. Zhou, but Li Xiuhua secretly took out two handfuls to make a bowl of pimple soup for the three of their brothers and sisters. This was the last meal they ate made by their mother, and the next day, Li Xiuhua was sent to the township to criticize and fight, and never came back. Maybe that experience was too painful and chaotic, Zhou Chen subconsciously forgot about the things before and after his mother was taken away, Zhou Wanwan felt that Zhou Chen's situation should be a kind of self-protection with too much psychological trauma.

The three brothers and sisters ate the wheat silently, and there was no longer the excitement just now......

The next morning, Zhou Wanwan was woken up by Zhou Yang in a panic, and Zhou Yang eagerly told her in her ear: "Remember what your eldest brother told you last night, who asked you to say that you don't know anything, do you remember?" ”

Zhou Wanwan was infected by Zhou Yang's eagerness, nodded in a panic, and her heart jumped with a bang. Could it be that the wheat stealing happened?

Zhou Chen had already dressed and quickly got off the ground, "Big brother, I'll go, I'll do it, I'll bear it!" ”

"You come back to me!" Zhou Yang pulled Zhou Chen onto the kang, his eyes were red in a hurry, and he suppressed his voice and roared at Zhou Chen: "I said what I said last night in vain?" You give me to stay at home honestly, I'll go if there is something, I'm better than you, anti-toss! You listen to me, you stay and take care of your sister, if you rush out stupidly later, both of us have to go in, what will happen to my sister then? ”

Zhou Yang went out, and Zhou Chen sat on the edge of the kang in a daze, a little stunned.

Zhou Wanwan's mind quickly began to turn, what should I do? What to do? Don't let the big brother have trouble! You must not let the eldest brother have trouble! How can I save Big Brother? Her consciousness entered the space, searching for it like a headless fly, nuclear warheads, laser pistols, ultra-fine biochemical gases...... She rummaged through the same powerful weapon and threw it on the ground, muttering in some confusion, if something happens to my eldest brother, I will die with you! I will not hesitate to ruin this world!

When the brother and sister were in a panic, Zhou Yang pushed the door in, his face was still wooden, and his eyes were a little stunned.

"It's all right! The mules in the team are starving and fall to the table (1), and the captain finds someone to carry the mules. Zhou Yang said to Zhou Chen, picked up the dogskin hat and went out. The captain is still waiting outside, so he can't delay too long, so it's better to be careful at this time.

It took Zhou Chen a long time to react, seeing that it was still early, and it would take a while to go to work in the morning, so he lay down with his clothes, and patted Zhou Wanwan for a while to coax her to sleep again.

Zhou Wanwan was also a little stunned, she was also frightened by herself just now. She actually gave birth to such a great evil spirit, and even did not hesitate to die with this world!

Zhou Wanwan knew that she was serious just now, and if the eldest brother really had something, she would really take action......

On this day, the three brothers and sisters were greatly affected and thought about it a lot.

In the evening, Zhou Chen took the initiative to admit his mistake to Zhou Yang, saying that he would never do such a thing that outweighed the losses again, and he could not put the three brothers and sisters in danger because of small losses, "...... Later, I thought about it, even if my eldest brother went for me at that time, I couldn't run, and my eldest brother was working on the farmland infrastructure construction site, how could I know about the team's affairs? If we both go in, we'll starve to death. He also expressed his determination to rely on his own labor to make his family live a good life," he said...... Let the eldest brother and sister eat white noodles every day! ”

Zhou Yang did not find out that his younger brother's admission of mistakes was problematic at all, let alone that his review did not meet the ideological requirements of the first and second princes of revolutionary construction. As long as the younger brother realizes his mistake and promises not to steal or rob in the future, he will be satisfied.

Zhou Wanwan was also very satisfied with this result, Zhou Yang let go of his worries, Zhou Chen embarked on the right road to get rich through labor, packed up the weapons of destruction all over the space by himself, and then farmed and raised chickens. To each his own, let's live a good life.

In the blink of an eye, the production team has no work, and the farmers who have worked hard for a year are finally looking forward to the days of cat winter. However, Zhou Yang's farmland infrastructure team still can't rest, and it is said that they will fight until the New Year. Similarly, the Gancha River water conservancy infrastructure team where the three sons of the Zhou family went also had to be released from work until the end of the year.

The weather is getting colder and colder, it is when Laqi Laba freezes off their jaws, Zhou Yang and Zhou Chen's hands and feet are frostbitten, Zhou Wanwan secretly smeared medicine on their hands at night, she set the curative effect of the medicine at a cure, but the frostbite surface has to slowly fall off, afraid that the curative effect is too good to attract the attention of others and bring unnecessary trouble.

But this is only limited to her hands, and since she can't climb, she can't even reach her brothers' feet. I can only hope that before the spring of next year, she can learn to climb and be able to get her brothers' feet, otherwise the brothers will suffer from frostbite in the spring, and they will suffer from pain, itching and bleeding and pus, and Zhou Wanwan will feel distressed when he thinks about it.

At the risk of being discovered by his brothers, Zhou Wanwan changed the cotton clothes of the three brothers and sisters. Although the exterior is exactly the same as the original, the inside has become a high-tech thermal material that can adjust the temperature according to the human body and the external environment.

There is really a big risk, due to her limited mobility, there are very few opportunities to touch the cotton clothes taken off by her brothers every day, and every time there are two brothers in front of her, it is not easy for her to find an opportunity to start. But Zhou Wanwan couldn't help it, when she thought of her brothers working in the wind and snow in thin and old cotton clothes, she couldn't even sleep.

At this time, the Zhou family was all at home, surrounded by braziers and ondols, and even Zhou Jun, who liked to play outside, refused to run out. The cold weather, thin cotton clothes and a stomach with almost no food make people have no activity in any body, and they try to minimize the amount of activity, and even their daily actions are slow, as if they can save some energy.

On the eleventh day of the lunar month, Zhou Chunfa, who went to the brigade to settle accounts, brought back a piece of news, a family of four in Dagaotun five miles away, a family of four ran out of food, and finally gnawed off the window paper and ate it all, I don't know when I died at home, and when I was found, I was frozen into a solid child, and I don't know how many days I died......

"The fourth brother and sister are the same as them, right? Their brigade only divided 30 catties of sweet potatoes this year, and they don't know what is happening now. Zhou Chunfa mentioned it casually, and no one picked it up, so it passed.

What if you don't pass in silence like this? The Zhou family is also about to break off, can anyone else be helped?

The heavy snow seemed to be falling as if it couldn't stop, and Lao Zhoutou sat in the kang bar all day long, chirping his big cigarette pouch and pot. Occasionally, I muttered to myself: "It's good to have heavy snow, if it snows heavily, there will be no spring drought next year, if you can plant and grow seedlings, you won't starve the old farmer to death......"
