After washing his face, Du Xiqing took advantage of the fact that Du Lan brought the gruel to herself, and then she inquired about all the surrounding qiē clearly.
Fortunately, the old man spoke before, and everyone knew that Du Xiqing injured his head, so he forgot all the previous memories. Therefore, Du Lan did not doubt Du Xiqing's question at all, but explained it patiently.
At this time, Du Xiqing realized that he was actually reborn in a place called Pingyue Valley, and the original owner of this body was also called Du Xiqing, but he had never spoken since he was born.
The original owner, Du Xiqing, is now fourteen years old, and there is an eldest sister named Du Lan and a second brother named Du Wen. The eldest sister Duran and the second brother Du Wen are dragon and phoenix fetuses, both of whom are sixteen years old.
And Du Laosan, the father of the original owner Du Xiqing, fell off the cliff when he went out and died with a whimper. His mother was weak after giving birth to Du Xiqing, and she couldn't withstand the blow of such bad news, so she also followed. The three children of the Du family were handed over to their uncle to take care of by the clan.
And now the house where the three people live was built when the father and mother were still there, and now two years have passed, the house has been a little dilapidated, and some places have even been washed with tiles, and when it rains, it often rains heavily inside and outside, and it rains lightly inside.
Every time Du Wen went to his uncle to help him repair it, the uncle agreed very well at the time, but turned around and forgot about it. After going back and forth, Du Wen and Du Lan also saw something, and they never went to the uncle for help in the future.
Fortunately, the school in the clan does not need money, as long as you reach the age, you can go to school. Therefore, Du Wen was able to never drop out of school when he couldn't open the pot at home. Moreover, Du Wen studied very hard, and without extra pen and ink, he used the branches of the tree at home to learn to write on the ground.
Such a younger brother makes Duran really proud as an older sister. As soon as Du Wen was mentioned, Du Lan's eyes flashed with pride, and Du Xiqing was dazzled.
After knowing this qiē, Du Xiqing drank the gruel. Because of her previous experience in Borderless, Du Xiqing now will not frown no matter what she eats, but very carefully drank all the porridge.
As soon as she finished drinking, Du Xiqing saw a look of longing flashing in Du Lan's eyes, so Du Xiqing asked very strangely: "Why do you only watch me drink porridge, your own?" ”
Duran swallowed his saliva and said with a smile: "This white rice porridge was sent to you by the patriarch's grandfather to recuperate your injuries, how can I eat this!" Besides, you're still sick, you drink more white rice porridge, and your body will get better quickly! ”
As soon as these words came out, Du Xiqing frowned. Then I saw her say expressionlessly: "Then what you eat is not white rice porridge?" So what do you eat? ”
In the face of Du Xiqing's inquiry, Du Lan's eyes were dodgy, and he didn't speak for a long time. After suddenly seeing the empty bowl in Du Xiqing's hand, Du Lan snatched it at once, and then hurriedly said, "Hey, you've finished drinking this porridge!" I'll give you a little more! ”
After saying that, Duran hurried out. Seeing Du Lan's reaction, Du Xiqing felt that there must be something strange in this. No, I have to figure it out.
When Du Lan brought in the porridge again, Du Xiqing refused to eat it. No matter how Du Lan persuaded her, Du Xiqing made up her mind not to take a bite.
This frightened Duran, only to see her carefully put the porridge aside, while wiping her tears and continuing: "Qing'er, you can drink this bowl of porridge, so that you can get better quickly!" You don't eat like this, what do you let the eldest sister do? ”
Du Xiqing saw that the heat was almost over, so she said: "If you want me to drink porridge, you can drink porridge with me in a while!" Otherwise, I won't eat it! If you don't eat it today, I won't eat it tomorrow! ”
When Duran heard this, he knew that his sister was angry and didn't eat, I was afraid that he wanted to let himself and his second brother drink porridge too! It's just that although there is a lot of big white rice sent by the patriarch, my sister's leg is injured, and I am afraid it will take a few months to raise it.
There is nothing at home to make up for my sister's body, and if I don't eat some white rice, my body bones will grow even worse. But if he and his second brother don't eat it, my sister won't eat it, which is very difficult.
Just as Duran was frowning, Du Wen also returned from the school at this time.
Before he could enter the house, he heard Du Wen's voice sound.
"Eldest sister, eldest sister, I heard that my sister fell from the mountain, and she can still speak?" Du Wen rushed in with some excitement. Just as soon as he entered the house, Du Wen felt a strange atmosphere between the sisters.
"You, what's wrong with you?" Du Wen stammered.
Du Lan looked at Du Wen with teary eyes, and then said, "Second brother, come and persuade Qing'er, she actually doesn't eat rice porridge!" She also said that if we don't eat with her, we will never eat again! ”
As soon as Du Wen heard this, he saw the big white rice porridge on the side, and then glanced at Du Xiqing, and instantly understood what was going on.
He walked over, then looked at Du Xiqing and said, "You must have forgotten, we used to be able to eat white rice porridge very well." The eldest sister let you eat white rice porridge because she feels sorry for you, and I hope you can take good care of your body! Besides, we're used to eating! ”
Du Wen's voice was a little choked, but when he heard it, he could feel some warmth in his heart. Du Xiqing's original intention was not to go on a hunger strike, but just hoped that they could also drink some white rice porridge.
To be honest, first seeing Du Lan, and now seeing Du Wen again, Du Xiqing doesn't know why, and always feels very sour in her heart. Because the two of them look malnourished, they must have never eaten anything on weekdays!
"I'm not saying not to eat, but let's all eat together! I know that the patriarch grandfather sent some white rice. You cook and eat first, and then I'll ask the patriarch and grandfather when I'm done! Don't worry, the patriarch will give it to me! Du Xiqing said with an affirmative face.
Hearing Du Xiqing's words, Du Lan and Du Wen were surprised. In the end, he couldn't bear Du Xiqing's insistence, and finally Du Lan went to the kitchen again to boil a big pot of white rice porridge and came out, and the three brothers and sisters ate it with laughter and laughter.
While speaking, Du Xiqing slowly learned the true situation of this family from the mouths of Du Lan and Du Wen.
It turned out that the eldest aunt was a greedy person, and she occupied the fields of the three brothers and sisters, and also helped the three children to fertilize the fields, and gave two bags of grain every month as rent for renting the fields.
It's just that most of the grain sent by the eldest aunt is old rice, and then there is a lot of bran mixed in it. No one can support the three brothers and sisters, so the three brothers and sisters can only suffer dumb losses and barely make ends meet with these things.
