Chapter 9: The First Arrival at Home

There are only a few broken quilts at home, and Xiaoju suspects that if this broken quilt is thrown in the garbage, no one will want to pick it up at all! It's too broken, patches are patched on top of each other, and you can't see the color of the original cloth at all.

Hu Daring is the eldest man in the family, and he has the greatest strength, so he naturally carries the broken quilts bundled into a pile on his back, while Xiao Juniang carries the small bag of grain and noodles that she begged for back. As for Xiaoju, she was responsible for pulling her younger brother and quietly taking out the two silver dollars that her mother hid on her kang......

After everyone went out, she made another excuse and went back, and received all kinds of pots and jars at home and broken pots and bowls in the kitchen into the space! She had no intention of coming back to this place.

As for taking back all those rags into the space, it is also based on the fact that she is still too young to take out the silver dollars in the space and use them openly, and these rags may be able to play an unexpected role when they are outside. In this way, Hu Xiaoju's family left Huzhuang with their families as if fleeing the famine.

Since Xiao Ju was possessed by this body, this is the first time she has walked out of Hu Zhuang. Unexpectedly, the drought was even stricter than she imagined, and along the way, there were dry wheat fields with cracks everywhere. The wheat seedlings in the wheat fields are sparse because of lack of water.

When Xiao Ju was in modern times, he grew up in the city since he was a child, and he had never been exposed to farm work, so he naturally didn't know what this meant, but Hu Daring and Xiao Ju Niang had been picking up in the soil since they were children, so they naturally knew the consequences of this situation in front of them, so they sighed while walking.

In the end, Xiao Ju couldn't listen to it, and deliberately asked, "Dad!" Mother! My family has gone to the county, and we don't have to be separated in the future, I'm very happy! But why are you still sighing? ”

"Silly girl! Your father and I sighed because of the wheat by the roadside! Normally, at this time, both sides of this road are green, but now you see, not only yellow, but also sparsely sprouted, it seems that the harvest is a little hanging! Xiao Ju Niang couldn't help but sigh and said.

"Mother, if Huaxian County is like this everywhere, won't many people be hungry this year?" Xiao Ju asked deliberately naively.

"Well, my little chrysanthemum is so smart! If this continues, it may be difficult to find work in the county! There are so many people who come out looking for work! Hu Daring said with a sigh.

"Daddy, mother! Then why don't we go farther away, to a place where there is no drought, so that we don't have to fight with others? Xiao Ju pretended to be very innocent and asked, but in fact, she quietly said her thoughts.

"Ju'er, it's easier said than done! One is that we don't have that much travel expenses! The second is the background of leaving the hometown, and no one wants to do it anymore! What's more, as long as you survive this winter, a few more rains will come down next spring, and it will be relieved. Xiao Ju Niang used the hand that did not take the food, touched the head of Xiao Ju, who was pulling Zhuang Zhuang who was following her, and sighed and explained.

Xiaoju listened to her mother's words and knew that it was difficult to persuade her father and mother to leave Huaxian County. The farthest place that Elephant Father and Mother have gone to in their lives may be Huaxian, so that they can leave Hujiazhuang and go to Huaxian County to survive, it is already the greatest courage, right?

In the middle of the night, Hu Daring took the family, and finally came to the Yue family, who had not been here for three years, Xiao Ju Niang came forward to knock on the door, and it was her younger brother Liu Zhu who came out to open the door, and he recognized the thin woman in front of him at a glance by the light of the pony lamp he was carrying. ”

Liu Zhu's roar suddenly broke the silence of this small farmhouse courtyard, and soon, the lights in the main room turned on, and the voice of an energetic old lady sounded: "Erniu, it's you back!" Pillars, let your sisters and them into the hall! Your father and I will get up right away! ”

"Great!" Liu Zhu held a pony lamp in front of him to illuminate the road, leading Hu Daring's family into the hall. Because it was too dark and the place was unfamiliar, Xiaoju honestly took Zhuangzhuang's hand, followed closely by her father's mother, and entered a room of about forty square meters.

In this room there was a large table of eight immortals and four benches, and in addition to that, there were some miscellaneous wooden stools of different sizes that were not very good.

As soon as she saw the small stool in the room, Xiao Ju quickly dragged two handfuls over, and asked Zhuang Zhuang to sit down first, and she immediately sat next to Zhuang Zhuang so that he could lean on his body and squint.

This trip, the most affected is Zhuangzhuang, only more than four years old, has been pulled by Xiao Ju, has long been tired, sleepy and hungry, when he can't walk, Xiao Ju Niang holds the half bag of grain in one hand, and holds Zhuang Zhuang in one hand.

But if this is the case, Xiao Ju Niang will be very hard, as for Hu Daring, the things he is carrying are not something that the three women and children can take over. In the end, he was still strong and sensible, stumbled and followed his sister, and walked forward hard.

It's just that he kept asking: "Sister! Did you get to your uncle's house? "Sister, how far is it?" "Sister, do you have white flour cakes to eat when you get to your uncle's house?"

Xiao Ju was very distressed when she heard these words, but she was only a child less than six years old, and during this time, she was hungry and full, and she couldn't carry it if she wanted to be strong.

dragged and dragged like this, and after Hu Dazhuang and Xiao Juniang deliberately slowed down, the two sisters and brothers finally followed their father's footsteps and came to their grandparents' house, but they were too tired to do it.

Especially Zhuang Zhuang, who was so tired at this time that he leaned on Xiao Ju and slept whirringly. I can't remember the white flour cake I fantasized about eating at my uncle's house along the way.

Xiao Ju was also too tired, sitting on the stool, the little head kept grinding like a chicken, but a pair of small hands held Zhuang Zhuang tightly. As soon as I entered the hall, I saw the two sisters and brothers, and my grandparents were distressed.

I was busy going to the stove to boil hot water, helping the two little children to clean it, and then arranging for the two grandsons to sleep on the kang, so that I had the heart to look at the daughter and son-in-law who were sitting in the hall and eating.

"Erniu, is there something going on at home?" Liu looked at his daughter and asked, I haven't been back in the past three years, looking at the clothes of adults and children, it should not be a good time! She knows how strong this daughter's heart is! If it hadn't happened, I might not have come back for help.

"Mother, it's okay! Your son-in-law will go to the county town tomorrow morning to find something to do, and Xiaoju and I will stay at home for a few days! ”

Xiao Ju Niang replied vaguely while drinking gnocchi soup. When Old Man Liu came out of the room, he didn't speak, just sat quietly and looked at his daughter and grandson with a smile.

Liu saw that his daughter was reluctant to say, thinking that she would stay here for a few days anyway, and it would not be too late to ask slowly. didn't say anything more, and after arranging the place where his daughter sleeped, he went back to the room with Old Man Liu.

Early the next morning, Hu Dadao hastily ate some breakfast and set off towards the county seat. And Xiao Juniang and a pair of children still slept sweetly in the room, after all, they slept too late at night.

What a beautiful night's sleep! This is the sigh after Xiaoju opened her eyes. It's a pity that those little feet hurt so badly. Yesterday I walked all day and half the night! Even adults feel a little unbearable, let alone her child's body?

Because her feet hurt too much, after Xiaoju got dressed on the bed, she realized that her feet were so painful that she couldn't land. I gritted my teeth and looked at the soles of my feet, and I saw that the soles of my feet were full of big bubbles. Now Xiaoju is really dumbfounded!

Although she is a doctor in modern times, in this place, the medical conditions are so poor, and the family is so poor that if these big bubbles burst and become infected, then her little life will be over.

She sat on the kang and was stunned for a while, and thought that Zhuang Zhuang was smaller than herself, and she had been gritting her teeth and following yesterday, not crying or making trouble, but it is conceivable that those little feet should not be any better!

Thinking of this, Xiao Ju hurriedly crawled to the side of Zhuang Zhuang, who was sleeping soundly, took his little feet in his hand, and looked at them carefully. Sure enough, as she expected, it was also a big bubble full of soles. Looking at the miserable little feet in her hand, the tears in her eyes flowed uncontrollably.

When Xiao Juniang woke up, she saw the scene of the two sisters and brothers crying in a bunch, and she panicked, thinking that something big had happened. I couldn't help but laugh and cry.

She quickly got up, cleaned herself up, and then helped her children clean up roughly, so she asked Liu to take a needle, and then took some clear oil from the kitchen, and after putting the needle on the fire and baking, she helped her children to pick up the big bubbles on the foot board and put water, and then rubbed the clear oil, and then said easily: "Xiaoju, what is there to cry about a few bubbles on your feet?" Rub the clear oil after picking it, and it will be fine tomorrow! ”

Of course, Xiao Ju won't tell the truth, because she and Zhuang Zhuang's lives will be in danger because of these bubbles on her feet, but she just reached out and hugged Xiao Ju Niang's arm and said coquettishly: "Mother, isn't it because I hurt!" ”

"If you hurt, it hurts, so why are you still crying with your strong little feet?" Xiao Juniang returned to her parents' house, and because of the depression brought to her by Hu Daring, she was in the mood to tease her daughter, who has always looked like a little adult since she was sick.

"Mother, you laugh at me! I don't follow! When Xiao Ju heard this, she pretended to be angry and pouted. But he secretly said in his heart, it turned out that his mother also had such a bright side, Hu Daring really failed his father, and his husband also failed. Not only does his wife and children not have enough food and clothing, but also has no hope of life!
