In the blink of an eye, it was the end of May, and Zhou Chen was finally willing to let his sister take off her little jacket and put on a small sweater.

Zhou Wanwan lay on the teacher's window, pulling a cat tail on the sweater and sighed, other children have been wearing single clothes for many days, and Zhou Chen himself doesn't wear autumn pants, but she is covered tightly, if it weren't for the automatic temperature adjustment of this clothes, maybe she would have to afford hot prickly heat......

The classmates in the class all left after school, and Zhou Chen and several people in the same group on duty carried water outside to water the half of the soybeans planted in the school.

Since the beginning of spring, the weather has been dry, and seeing that the seedlings have grown half a finger high but not a drop of rain has fallen, Yangshugou Commune has begun to work intensively to fight drought and protect seedlings. Even the school also allocates the soybeans on the playground to each class, and the students on duty in each class go to the tunzi every few days to carry water and water the seedlings.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the sky, it was already past the time for the production team to leave work, and Zhou Chen and they estimated that they were almost done, so they were ready to get down from the table to help Zhou Chen pack his schoolbag.

As soon as she turned around, she was picked up.

"Brother Dunzi!" Zhou Wanwan didn't have to look back, she knew who it was from the posture of someone carefully holding her.

"Why did you run to the table, you fell down." Dunzi squatted down and let Zhou Wanwan sit on his lap and put shoes on her. This little girl is sensible, and she knows not to step on the desk when she climbs on it, and she takes off her shoes for fear of soiling the desk.

"Brother Dunzi, are your hands all right?" Zhou Wanwan hadn't seen Dunzi for several days, so she grabbed his hand to check, she saw that Dunzi's hands were full of chilblains a few days ago, bleeding when she moved, and there were several big cuts, which looked terrifying, so she mixed medicine in the water and tricked Dunzi into washing his hands.

Because I didn't dare to let the medicine work too quickly, I had to check it every time I saw the pier every time I saw it, and then decide how much the next medicine would be.

Dunzi honestly let Zhou Wanwan grab his hand and look over and over again, the expression on his face was like a dream. He died of his mother when he was one year old, and his father began to wander outside to ask for food when he died at the age of seven, and was picked up by the Hou family at the age of eight, and was beaten and tired every day.

In his memory, there has never been a person like this little girl, carefully holding his hand, and asking her distressedly, Brother Dunzi, do you hurt? Brother Dunzi, are your hands better?

Dunzi is the boy picked up by Hou Xuefang's family, fourteen years old this year, and Zhou Wanwan only saw her more than half a month ago.

Since he knew that the work on duty was done by Hou Xuefang's brother, Zhou Chen refused to leave in advance. He couldn't get used to Hou Xuefang's behavior, and he couldn't push his work to an already pitiful person, driven by Zhou Chen, Shi Yun and Xia Guangcai also stayed.

Hou Xuefang had no choice but to work with them.

It wasn't until May that the school began to take a lunch break, and when school was late, the students on duty had to carry water and water soybeans, and there was a lot more work, so Hou Xuefang asked Dunzi to help after work.

The first time he saw Dunzi, Zhou Wanwan couldn't believe it, this black and thin little boy was fourteen years old, he was even a little shorter than the twelve-year-old Hou Xuefang, so thin that the green tendons on his neck were exposed, his clothes were tattered, he didn't even have a pair of shoes, and there were several cuts on his bare feet, not to mention the swollen and pus-bleeding chilblains.

Seeing such a little boy, Zhou Wanwan was inexplicably sad. She thought of Zhou Yang and Zhou Chen in her previous life, they were also like this child, they were squeezed and abused, pinched in their hands by a group of wolf-like people, and they couldn't wait to eat meat and drink blood.

So Zhou Wanwan smiled very sweetly when he greeted Dunzi, and the voice of "Brother Dunzi is good" was also very sincere and soft.

But that's about it. There are too many poor people in the world, it is impossible for Zhou Wanwan to help everyone, if there is a chance in the future, within her ability, Zhou Wanwan will definitely help this child, but now, it is impossible for her to take the initiative to come over to help him.

The three brothers and sisters were still struggling in the big mud pit of the Zhou family, and she didn't have the ability to help others.

But Zhou Wanwan didn't expect that she saw Dunzi again the next day.

On the way home from school, Dunzi and Zhou Chen gave her a large canopy of elm money still hanging on the branches. The elm money was tender and clean, and at a glance I knew that it had just been plucked from the tree.

There are only one or two big elm trees that can bear elm money in the surrounding ten miles, and they are all very difficult to pick. Seeing his expression of satisfaction as he carefully put the elm money in Zhou Wanwan's hand, as if he had completed a particularly big task, it was impossible for Zhou Wanwan to be indifferent to his situation anymore.

Dunzi saw Zhou Wanwan staring at his hand covered with chilblains, and rubbed his hand twice on his body in shame, finding that there was no way to rub off the black cracks and pus and festering wounds on his hands, and put his hands behind his back with some shame.

"Yuqian is clean." Dunzi was afraid that Zhou Wanwan would think that his hands were dirty and he would not eat the elm money, so he clumsily and eagerly explained to their brother and sister.

Zhou Wanwan smiled and took a bite of elm money, "It's so sweet!" Thank you, Brother Dunzi! Then he gave it to Zhou Chen to eat, "Second brother, you can also take a bite, it's delicious." ”

Zhou Chen also smiled and took a bite, and thanked Dunzi very sincerely: "Thank you, Dunzi." This little girl has been making a fuss about eating elm money these days, I don't know where to find it for her, your elm money is too timely! ”

"Brother Dunzi, you can eat it too, it's delicious!" Zhou Wanwan picked up a stick of elm money and sent it over.

Dunzi was so polite that the brother and sister blushed, and waved their hands in a panic: "You eat, you eat, you eat, all for you." ”

"Brother Dunzi, give you some water!" Zhou Wanwan took out his small kettle, which was filled with spiritual spring water, and when Zhou Wanwan opened the lid of the kettle, he put in some large doses of energy supplements.

Dunzi still refused, he was afraid that he would stain the clean and beautiful kettle in Zhou Wanwan's hand.

"Brother Dunzi, your mouth is dry, drink some water! If you don't drink it for a while, I'll go home, and the water will be useless. ”

Under the persuasion of Zhou Wanwan, Dunzi was finally willing to drink water. But I still took a few sips and put it down.

After drinking the water, Dunzi said goodbye to them: "I, I have to go back, I will herd the pigs for the production team, and the pigs are still on the meadow." ”

Zhou Chen looked at the bare feet covered with wounds on the pier, and said, "You wait for me for a while, don't go, I'll be back in a while!" Then he ran home with Zhou Wanwan in his arms.

Zhou Wanwan was in Zhou Chen's arms, watching Dunzi stand in place in a daze, motionless.

Zhou Chen returned home, found the two pairs of shoes he wore last year, and picked up Zhou Wanwan and ran back.

Dunzi looked at these two pairs of new shoes and didn't dare to ask for them, Zhou Chen had no choice but to tell him what happened to his brother and sister.

"We don't have a mother, just my brother took me and my sister, it's not easy for us to survive like you, this is what my mother did for me before she left, I gave it to you, my mother knows and can agree, she has a good heart, you can wear it with confidence."

Dunzi walked like a dream wearing the shoes given by Zhou Chen, turned around after a few steps, and waved his hands vigorously with Zhou Wanwan and Zhou Chen, who were standing in place watching him, and Zhou Wanwan also waved his hands vigorously with him, until he turned the corner and no one could see anyone.

In the evening, Zhou Chen told Zhou Yang about it: "...... Those two pairs of shoes were sturdy, and they didn't break when I wore them, so I thought, he was herding pigs on the meadow, and there were stones and ballast on the meadow, and he was wearing shoes and piercing his feet, and he could walk barefoot. ”

"Well, I still have two pairs of small ones, and they are not broken, so I will give them to him next time." Zhou Yang agrees with his younger brother's approach, "They are all poor people, if they can help us, they will help." ”

The next day, Zhou Chen didn't go with the children who came home from school, and deliberately lagged behind for a while, and next to yesterday's grove, he saw the pier waiting there.

The three of them didn't have anything to say when they met, so they smirked for a while, and Dunzi gave Zhou Wanwan a handful of hairy roots, Zhou Wanwan asked Dunzi to drink water, and then washed his hands with the rest of the water.

Zhou Chen gave the slingshot that had been prepared a long time ago to Dunzi, saying that he would lend it to him to play and let him shoot sparrows when he herded pigs. This time, Dunzi didn't shirk, he gave Zhou Chen a big bag of small stones, all smooth and even, and it was the best to use a slingshot.

The three of them separated after playing for a while, and from then on, Dunzi would wait for Zhou Chen's brother and sister by the grove every few days. He handed over the pig to another swineherd to look at for a while, and ran four or five miles, sometimes even ten miles, to Sanjiatun, just to bring a few wild strawberries to Zhou Wanwan, sometimes a handful of rare wild flowers, sometimes a sparrow or two that he had hit.

Zhou Chen will also leave a few for Dunzi when he finds a nest of wild eggs, and under his guidance, Dunzi's slingshot technique has also improved greatly.

Dunzi talks very little, and he is used to only doing and not talking, but it is rare to be able to keep up with Zhou Chen's footsteps, and he can cooperate well with him in everything.

Zhou Chen looked polite and easy-going to everyone, but in fact, there were not many friends who could really fit in with him. If you want to play with him, not only does he have a flexible brain and a very strong hands-on ability, but more importantly, he always has his own steps in doing things, and he doesn't like to be disrupted by others, which Zhou Zhou Yang can barely meet Zhou Chen's requirements, and Shen Guodong's casual and willful type is often disgusted by him for "making trouble".

Dunzi not only has strong hands-on ability, but also does things in an orderly and very orderly manner, and after playing with Zhou Chen a few times, the tacit understanding between the two soared.

Every time Zhou Chen and their group were on duty, Dunzi also went earlier than before, and he always rushed to do the most tiring work, so that Zhou Chen could go back early to watch Zhou Wanwan. Zhou Chen looked at Dunzi's body, which was much thinner than himself, and motioned to Zhou Wanwan a few times, and Zhou Wanwan pestered Dunzi's brother to play with her, and then gave him a physical examination by the way to regulate his body.

Life and circumstances can't help Dunzi every night, but they can help him adjust a good body. Let this young man who shares the same disease and temperament as them can have a healthy body as a backing no matter what path he takes in his future life.

Even Shen Guodong likes the pier very much, "This kid has a ruthless energy when he grabs the ball, he doesn't ink, he dares to start!" ”

It was a time when Shen Guodong skipped school and came to the school to find Zhou Chen, and met the pier who took Zhou Wanwan outside to help Zhou Chen and them water. Zhou Wanwan encouraged them to play basketball, and the boys had a friendship after playing a few games together, so there was no need to say anything.

Sure enough, after a ball was played, the two of them went from being strange to studying Zhou Chen's self-made bicycle chain gun together. (To be continued.) )
