"It's good to be better. Your place is remote, no one goes up the mountain on weekdays, and the people in the village hardly pass in front of your house, if something happens, you must know to come here and shout, otherwise the people in the village will not know. Your second uncle is also very hard-hearted, if I hadn't passed with your Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang that day, Wenbo and Wen Hao would have been taken away by that person's teeth. You fainted, and a few small ones in Wenbo only know how to cry, but in the end, they are small, and they are useless. Li Changming sighed as he spoke. This fatherless and motherless orphan is already pitiful, but it is better to have an uncle than not.

"I haven't thanked my uncle for that day!"

"Since you call me uncle, don't say anything about thanks. But I have neglected you for the past two years. After your father died, your second uncle's family stood up and said that you were too young to grow a field, so they gave you grain and vegetables, and his family took the field and planted it. I always thought that his family was raising a few of you, but I didn't expect it to be like this, a bastard whose conscience was eaten by dogs. ”

In this era, orphans who had no father or mother were generally raised by their uncles, and if they did not have uncles, they were raised by the clan. There are also those who have no relatives alive, so they are raised by the village, and everyone receives some help, which can be regarded as eating a hundred family meals. Originally, Li Xin's second uncle's family offered to raise a few children, but Li Changming was still very happy, and thought that although Li Changgui was a bit of a bastard on weekdays, he was still unambiguous in the things that should come out. Li Xin's yard is a little far away from the village, so he lives directly at the foot of the mountain.

It wasn't until something happened a few days ago that he didn't wait until Li Changgui and his wife treated several children like this. But if he knows it, he can't take care of it, so he just reprimanded the two of them. The affairs of uncles and nephews and nieces are considered other people's family affairs, and it is not easy for him to meddle casually as the village head.

"I came to my uncle today, and I was also thinking about it. Although my second uncle planted my family's field, he didn't give us the food we should have given, and I thought that if I couldn't eat like this, I might as well take my family's field back and plant it. Even if a few of our children can't grow it, we can also give it away, and we can take back some food. ”

"That's fine, I was thinking of waiting a few years to talk about it. Your sister and brother are young, and Wenbo is only nine years old! You can plant whatever field you want. Do you think you must bring the field back, or will the village come forward and ask your second uncle's family to make up for your food? Although your second uncle has no conscience, he is the elder of your family, and it is not easy to tear his face. You are still young, and in the future, you will encounter things that need the help of your elders. ”

"I still want to get the field back. In fact, even if we just want a little food back, we are already offending them. In that case, why should we tolerate them everywhere for fear of offending them? Originally, they should have given us food, but every time we ran out of food, they were all pushing, and their faces were very ugly, and sometimes they didn't even let us in the door, and they would only give two or three times when they asked for ten times, and each time they gave only a little bit. If it weren't for the help of Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang in the past two years, my sister and brother would not have survived this time. ”

"Okay, now that you've made up your mind, let them return the field to you. But you can't just pay it back now, there is still wheat in heaven and earth! After two months, the wheat will be harvested, and the next season will be planted for you. Look at what you want to plant, if you want to plant rice, then you have to prepare when you go back, don't go to the field without seedlings at that time. Even if you plant it, you will have to have food in the autumn, and I will discuss with your second uncle to see if I will give you some food, and let you eat until the autumn. ”

"Then thank you, uncle."

"What do you say thank you for, don't see the outside like this."

After the matter was discussed, and after sitting and chatting for a while, Li Xin was ready to leave. But the village chief suddenly got up, took a basket, filled them with some rice, noodles and some fresh vegetables, and finally loaded a piece of meat for them to take back to eat. Li Xin was about to refuse, but the village chief made a straight face and said that if she didn't take it, she wouldn't recognize him as an uncle, so she had to take it. The basket was very heavy because of the many things, so she and Wen Hao carried them out together, and the village chief also sent them out for a long time.

"Okay, uncle, don't send it, let's go back." Seeing that he was about to go to the old laurel tree, Li Xin asked the village chief not to send it.

"Okay, then you go carefully, don't fall. When you have something to do, come and shout, and when it's time to get the field, you can say, "I have cattle at home, and it will be good to take them with you and plow them for a few days." You little body is digging the field there. ”

"Got it, uncle, go back quickly! We'll talk about it. ”

The village chief turned around and went home, and Li Xin took Wen Hao all the way home. Carrying a full basket, Li Xin felt warm in his heart. She didn't expect that the village chief would be such a good person, and it can be regarded as a blessing for the villagers to have such a village chief in the village!

"We finally have meat to eat." Wen Hao looked at the meat in the basket and his saliva was about to flow out. What a big piece of meat! Anyway, it should also look like three or four pounds.

"Uncle of the village chief is a very good person."

"Yes! The village chief's uncle has always been a good person, but my sister was injured, and she was still a doctor paid by the village chief's uncle! ”

"That's it!" It seems that the favor owed to the village chief is getting bigger and bigger, but now there is no way, who made their family so poor! The poor can't open the pot, and she really can't refuse the help of others. This kind of favor can only wait for the life of the family to improve in the future, and then slowly return it.

I don't want to think about it first, I don't have to worry if I have more debts, and I don't itch if I have more lice. Anyway, it's already owed, and it's hypocritical to say anything. It's better to enjoy the kindness of others, and it can be regarded as living up to that kindness.

When they got home, Wenbo was very happy to see such a basket of food, and when they saw the meat again, their eyes began to light up. No way, who made this family too poor, and the children almost didn't remember the taste of meat.

At noon, Li Xin cooked a pot of white rice, made a radish soup and fried a bamboo shoot and pork slices, and several children ate it cleanly, and Wen Hao even ate the last little juice left in the vegetable bowl with bibimbap.

"Eldest sister, the meat is so delicious." Yueting had a smile on her face. She is the child who has not had a good life in this family, her mother died of dystocia when she gave birth to her, and she didn't even drink a sip of breast milk, she has always drunk goat's milk, and she ate a little bit when she was older. After the death of his mother, the labor force in the family suddenly decreased, and the family's life became more and more difficult. Later, when my father fell ill, the family's life was even more difficult, and the only little savings were spent. After the death of his father, even eating enough in this family has become a luxury, where can they still eat meat.

Aunt Zhang's family is not having a good time, and they have tried their best to save some surplus food to help them, where can they still have meat to eat. So since she was a child, Yueting has never even eaten meat.

"There's still meat! We can save some and eat a few meals, and the life of the family will be better and better in the future. Li Xin touched Yueting's head. This girl is very thin, and even her hair is yellow and little because there is no nutritional supply, so she looks very pitiful. (Lots of support!) Fattening is welcome. ）
