The New Year has always been a festival of family reunion and joy for thousands of families.

But at the foot of this wild goose back mountain, a poor peasant family, at this moment is covered with dark clouds, gloomy clouds.

The reason is that the second son of Li Laoshi of the Li family, the youngest daughter of Li Yihe's family, is about to die of illness. Listening to the lively sound of firecrackers outside, and looking at the breathless and dying little daughter in front of him, Li Yihe's wife Fu Yue'e sat on the kang and hugged her little daughter and cried non-stop.

And beside the little girl, there are two little radish heads with yellow faces and thin muscles, one is Li Yihe's nine-year-old eldest son Li Xuefeng, and the other is the seven-year-old second son Li Xuejian, the two kept crying and shouting, shouting "sister, sister".

On the edge of the kang, the second son of the Li family, Li Yihe, sat with his head down, his originally handsome and resolute face was full of sadness and sorrow.

His daughter, who had just turned five years old, was not only as thin as a cat due to long-term malnutrition, but also contracted typhoid fever because she was sent by the child's aunt to collect firewood on a snowy day, and was about to die.

But the Sandaoling where they live is eleven or twelve miles away from the town, and the winding mountain road takes more than an hour to reach the town even if the weather is good. What's more, the heavy snow closed the mountain a year ago, the road is really difficult to walk, and if you don't pay attention to it, you may fall into the deep ditch on the side of the road, so he had to go to Tian Langzhong's house, Erdaogangzi, six or seven miles away from home, to grab two pairs of medicine to come home, fry them for the child to drink.

Originally, it was already a little better, but yesterday was Chinese New Year's Eve, and the sister-in-law called his wife Fu Yu'e over to do this and that, and she was busy all day long. Unexpectedly, this morning, the child's illness became more and more serious, and he was about to die.

"What kind of mourning, why is this big New Year, why is it so unlucky!" Outside, the coarse voice of Zhang, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Li family, sounded, "Why don't you hurry up and cook, this big family wants me to serve you when they eat and drink, and you want to exhaust me!" ”

"What are you shouting, don't you just cook a meal, you can really be tired to death, what's wrong? The second daughter-in-law was not idle all day yesterday, and Ran Er was still sick, so she didn't care about it. Don't you want to think about the pity of the child? Hurry up, just your heaviness, you can't sit still all morning, you really think you're a talented lady! ”

It was Li Laoshi's wife Tian who spoke. Tian is forty-eight years old this year, is a capable farmer, she has never studied, does not understand any big truths, has a heartfelt admiration for scholars, so for the eldest son and third son who read, she has always been eager to hold in the palm of her hand.

Although she is partial to her eldest son and third son, like her wife, she points to the glory of these two children and the lintel of the gate. But she feels very guilty about her capable second son, and because of this, she has been trying to maintain a balance between several daughters-in-law and grandchildren.

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a soft voice sound, "Mother, I'll help my sister-in-law do it!" ”

This is the third daughter-in-law, Qian, who just entered the door in the autumn. Qian is the daughter of Qian Xiucai, the master in the town's school, and is protected by Li Yiyuan, the eldest son of the Li family, and married to the third Li Yihai.

"No, how can you use your new daughter-in-law who just entered the door to work, let your sister-in-law do it, she is lazy, and she wants to save every day."

After Tian scolded the eldest daughter-in-law, he pushed open the door of the second son's house and came in with a bowl of dumplings, "What's the matter, I heard you cry here early in the morning?" The crying of the New Year, this year is unlucky, and I don't blame your sister-in-law for scolding you. Hurry up, give this bowl of dumplings to Ran'er to eat, and the child will be fine if he eats some good illness. ”

As he spoke, he went to the edge of the kang, and saw the little granddaughter's miserable little white face, weak as if she had lost her breath, her frightened hand shook, the bowl fell to the kang, and the dumplings mixed with bud grain noodles and white noodles were sprinkled on a kang, and one of them rolled to the ground, broke open, stained with dust, and was quietly on the ground, and the broken mouth seemed to be silently mocking, announcing the end of the little girl's life.

"What's going on? Didn't you get okay yesterday? How did this go through the night like this? Tian's big rough hand slapped vigorously on the kang, and he couldn't care about crying during the New Year, and cried loudly: "What kind of evil has this created?" My Ran'er, why is it just gone? My poor granddaughter yo ......"

She scolded her eldest daughter-in-law just now, and then came in and taught her second daughter-in-law a lesson, just to find a balance at home. It's just that she didn't expect that her granddaughter, who had improved yesterday, would really not work today.

This year, I'm afraid it's not going to be good, she thought to herself, fortunately Chinese New Year's Eve passed......

Fu Yu'e cried louder, she cried sadly, and the two children also cried in fright, one by one wanting her sister. Even Li Dahe squatted on the ground in pain, pounding his head with his fists, "They all blame me, they all blame me for not being able to bear it, they all blame me for ......"

When Li Xiaoran woke up, he heard the crying in his ears and the sound of his sister crying non-stop in a daze.

She felt her body clung to her breath, and she wanted to scream and make a sound, but only a cat-like sound came out of her throat.

Fu Yu'e cried sadly, and didn't notice that she had woken up, but Li Xuejian, when he saw his sister open her eyes, shouted in surprise to push her mother, "Mother, grandma, don't cry, my sister is awake." Mother, look, my sister is really awake. ”

When Fu and Tian heard his words, they hurriedly looked at Li Xiaoran, and sure enough, the child's eyes were closed, and his mouth seemed to be muttering something. Fu Shi hurriedly leaned over to listen, but found that his daughter was shouting: "Strangled me, let me go quickly." ”

Fu Shi was embarrassed, and hurriedly let go of his hand to make his daughter more comfortable, and cried with joy: "Bodhisattva bless, my Ran'er has finally woken up." ”

Li Xiaoran rolled his eyes when he heard this, thinking that he was almost strangled to death by you just now.

However, where is my husband? Why is she surrounded by ancient people dressed like this? She remembered that she and her husband Yongning had just finished their mission and were about to go on their honeymoon, when the car exploded, and Yongning opened his ability shield to protect her, and then she didn't know anything.

Did she not die, but was reborn in this ancient world? So what about her husband, did he also come to this other world with her?

Thinking of her husband, Li Xiaoran felt sad, she was an orphan with Yongning in her previous life, and she grew up in the head of the National Security Bureau's supernatural team since she was a child, but she didn't expect that she and her husband had just received a marriage certificate and experienced a tragedy like a car explosion.

After thinking about it, she may never see the man who dotes on her again, and she feels like the sky is about to fall, and tears fall involuntarily.

"Ran'er, don't cry, it's my mother who didn't take care of Ran'er......" Fu Shi also cried together and choked up.

Seeing that she was awake, Tian stopped crying, hurriedly touched the forehead of the little granddaughter, and touched the earthen kang that was only a little warm under him, and instructed the second son, "Hurry up to Erdaogangzi, invite Tian Langzhong to come, bring more money to grab medicine, how can I take care of Ran'er's illness." "If the little granddaughter dies, the second and eldest families will have a disagreement.

She also instructed her grandson Li Xuefeng, "Feng'er goes, add more firewood under the stove to warm the house, and save Ran'er's illness from getting worse." ”

Li Xuefeng happily agreed, and ran out to add firewood to the stove. You must know that there is a certain amount of firewood at home, and there are regulations on how much to burn every day, and you can't burn it at will, for fear that this firewood will not be burned in spring. Now that he has grandma's message, he can rest assured that the house will be burned hot, without looking at the face of the eldest aunt.

Fu Shi also touched her daughter's forehead, the hot forehead seemed to be burning, so frightened that her hand shrank and stopped her husband who was walking out, "Brother Dahe, if Tian Langzhong refuses to come, you can beg him well, even if you use it on your back, you have to carry him over." ”

When his daughter was just sick, Li Yihe went to Erdaogangzi to invite Langzhong, but the snow closed the mountain and the road was impassable. Fu Shi was afraid that her husband would be sent back by Tian Langzhong again, so she specially advised. Tian said: "For the New Year, don't go empty-handed, take the pheasant you shot years ago, it's a heart." ”

Li Yihe agreed to rub his hands and go out, and Tian followed him out to get the money. Li Laoshi's family was not separated, so the money was in Tian's hands.

Li Xiaoran cried enough, stopped crying, and her little body was still choked.

Since she is not dead, then life still has to be lived! She looked at the house, the walls plastered with yellow mud and straw, the ceiling was black and black, and the black beams were covered with straw? The cheap lady and her two brothers were wearing patched coarse cloth clothes, which made her feel cold when she saw it, this family is too poor!

The corners of the walls around the room were covered with a thick layer of frost. The cold air that penetrated through the cracks in the mud room froze the room like an ice cellar, and she was covered with a layer of shabby quilts, but she was still shivering from the cold.

Fu Shi saw that her body was trembling, and he hurriedly took another quilt to cover her, and then he also got in and hugged her, "Ran'er, it won't be cold soon, my mother will warm up after holding it for a while." ”

Here, Li Yihe and Tian's mother and son just went out, and saw their eldest daughter-in-law Zhang running over in a hurry, still holding a shovel for stir-frying, "What's wrong, what's the howl?" Mother, you don't want to talk about the second daughter-in-law, this big New Year, no crying family is unlucky. ”

"Shut up, no one has a bad mouth like you. Ran'er was not good just now, and she didn't want to cry? Then he asked her, "Have you cooked your meal?" After a while, they will come to their home to see what you give them to eat. ”

Xuewen is the eldest son of Li Yiyuan and Zhang, the eldest of the Li family, and is twelve years old this year, and has been studying in the town with his father since he was eight years old.

Zhang didn't pay attention to the words behind, only heard "Ran'er is not good", and immediately shouted in shock: "What, that girl is really not good, this dead girl will not rush to a day, this is a big New Year, this is not the intention to let this family have a bad New Year!" Xianggong still has to take the exam this year, isn't this a mantra that Xianggong can't pass the exam? I knew that I wouldn't give her medicine before the year, and the province dragged on this year. If you save the money for the medicine, it is better to buy an elbow for the Xianggong to beat the teeth and nourish the body. It's good now, the money for the medicine has been lost, and it has been unlucky. ”
