Chapter 57: Xiao Ju's worries
Xiao Ju Niang took Zhuang Zhuang to help Liu Zhu drag the big bundle of tree poles to the front of the shed and put it away. After Liu Zhu entered the shed, Xiao Ju Niang lit the grapefruit oil lamp, and brought the little water left over from the dinner, let Liu Zhu scrub it roughly, and then brought the dinner, a big bowl of corn paste and a few simmered potatoes per person. Fortunately, it has been placed on the stove, and when it is served at this time, it is still hot.
"Second sister, my share of your mother-in-law is divided! On the way just now, Xiaoju had already eaten bread for me! Liu Zhu looked at the paste and potatoes handed to him, and was a little embarrassed.
"You're a heavy worker, so it's right to eat more! What's more, we have enough to eat! Xiao Juniang ignored Liu Zhu, and after stuffing the bowl into his hand, she helped Zhuang Zhuang peel potatoes.
Xiaoju also peeled potatoes on the side to eat, not to mention, this potato is simmered and eaten, it really has a unique flavor, fragrant and powdery. Xiao Ju quickly peeled and ate a few potatoes in front of her, and then ate a few bites of paste, and then told her mother about Liu Zhu being robbed when she went to find her.
Xiao Juniang was startled when she heard that Liu Zhu was robbed. Just now, because I didn't light the lamp, I didn't pay attention to it, and then I lit the lamp, and I only cared about arranging everyone's dinner, so I didn't care about it. Listening to what Xiao Ju said, he hurriedly stopped the potatoes he was peeling, took the tung oil lamp, and came to Liu Zhu to take a closer look, and his nose was really blue and his face was swollen!
Now I was also anxious, put the tung oil lamp in Xiao Ju's hand, asked her to hold the lamp, and stepped forward to tear off Liu Zhu's clothes to see if he was injured, so frightened that Liu Zhu shouted while dodging: "Sister, there are only a few flesh wounds on the body, it's okay!" In two days, it will be fine! ”
Xiao Ju and Zhuang Zhuang had never seen Liu Zhu like a wolf, and they all smiled and watched happily. In the end, Liu Zhu still didn't twist Xiao Ju Niang, lifted his shirt, and asked Xiao Ju Niang to carefully check the faint light of the grapefruit oil lamp, Xiao Ju also glanced at it a few times, and it was really as Liu Zhu said, just some skin injuries.
But Xiao Juniang looked at the bruises and purple scars on his face, and the tears began to fall straight down. He muttered in his mouth: "It's hurt like this, and it doesn't matter?" If you really have something to do, let me meet my father and mother in the future, how can I explain it to them? ”
"Second sister, aren't I very good? You see, there is nothing wrong with your hands and feet! Liu Zhu stretched his hands and feet left and right, while comforting Xiao Juniang, who was crying sadly.
"You are not allowed to go out at night in the future, you know, these victims are very hungry, and they can't do anything?" Xiao Ju Niang said while crying.
"I agree with my mother! Judging from today's incident, this affected area is very unsafe. Tomorrow we will first set up the grass shed, and then look around to understand the situation and then make plans! Xiao Ju stood next to him with a lamp and said while thinking.
After everyone finished dinner, they casually poured water into their mouths, wrapped themselves in quilts as usual, and squeezed into sleep. Because of tonight's events, Xiao Ju couldn't sleep at all, and she couldn't calm down and meditate. I can only close my eyes and recuperate, but my mind keeps thinking about whether to enter Nanyang City tomorrow to have a look, and it is best to leave this disaster area as much as possible.
Early the next morning, Liu Zhu got up early to build a grass shed, Xiaoju couldn't sleep because she thought too much at night, and she didn't fall asleep until dawn, so even Zhuang Zhuang helped out, and she was still sleeping happily in the shed.
Xiao Ju Niang's heart aches for her sensible daughter, although she doesn't say it, but she understands very well in her heart, whether it is escaping from the famine, or in Huzhuang and Huaxian, thanks to this daughter, their family of three survived. At this time, seeing that Xiaoju had a rare lazy sleep, she naturally didn't allow anyone to quarrel with her.
Xiao Ju slept really soundly this night, probably on the way to escape the famine, Xiao Ju was meditating every night, never relaxing herself, although that unpleasant thing happened yesterday, but compared with what she saw and heard along the way, it was still too pediatric.
In addition, when she fell asleep, the sky began to brighten, so the person unconsciously relaxed. This relaxation, when she opened her eyes, it was already noon. Liu Zhu and Xiao Ju Niang had already set up the shelves of the grass shed.
Xiao Ju was a little embarrassed, so she hurriedly and simply made some food, and asked a few people in the family to fill their stomachs and get it again. It took Xiaoju's family of four two days to completely build the grass shed.
The grass shed is very large, and it is divided into two rooms inside and outside according to Xiaoju's requirements! The inside room is for Xiao Ju Niang and Xiao Ju to live, and the outside room is Liu Zhu and Zhuang Zhuang live, and at the same time a simple stove is built in the outside room, so you don't have to worry about having no place to eat when it rains.
Liu Zhu and Xiao Ju Niang looked at the grass shed in front of them, full of new hope for their future life, but Xiao Ju was happy to finally be able to get rid of the life of four people crammed into cans like sardines. And Zhuang Zhuang has long been happy to run out and run in the grass shed.
Xiao Ju's family's big grass hut attracted the three families who lived nearby to come and see, but Xiao Ju's hearing was so strong, these people said congratulations in their mouths, but they were full of jealousy, how could Xiao Ju not hear it? Only Xiao Juniang and Liu Zhu are still stupidly and humbly with these people.
Especially the family who lived behind Xiao Ju's house, the jealousy on their faces was so naked, which made Xiao Ju's heart can't help but rise vigilant. You must know that there is a root in right and wrong, and the right and wrong that arise from jealousy are even more terrifying. Because ordinary people only think about their own family and each other and have no hatred, they neglect to take precautions.
Like Xiao Juniang and Liu Zhu, they were talking happily with the women and men of this family at this time, and they didn't even hear the other party's obvious mean words. Let Xiaoju be worried when she sees and hears it, it seems that she will have to remind her mother and Liu Zhu later, don't wait for someone to sell it one day and help you count the money. You must know that after two years of struggling on the death line and escaping the famine all the way, which of the victims gathered here is simple? You can take the other person's life for a little food, let alone anything else?
"Sister, what are you doing in a daze? Mother is calling you! Xiao Ju, who was thinking about her thoughts, was woken up by Zhuangzhuang's clothes.
"I'm in a daze, I'm stunned when I look at my new grass shed!" Xiao Juqiao argued, "What did my mother tell me?" ”
"I don't know! Now the woman who is pulling her mother to talk, I don't like it! Zhuang Zhuang pouted and said unhappily.
"Oh? What's wrong? Xiao Ju was a little strange, just now she only saw the woman in front of her mother, pulling Zhuang Zhuang and praising for a while, but she didn't do anything!
"She pinched my face! And looking at me, it makes me feel uncomfortable! Well, it's like I'm eating! The little stout body trembled.
When Xiao Ju heard this, an alarm bell suddenly sounded in her heart, and she said in a somewhat stern tone: "Zhuangzhuang, don't be alone in the future, always follow Sister A, or Uncle and Mother!" Hear no! In her heart, she doesn't think that when she arrives in Nanyang, everyone can live a good life.
Looking at the sheds that have been being built on this cemetery in the past two days, it is conceivable that the number of victims is still increasing, not to mention the food of so many people, the consumption of water alone is huge, can Nanyang City bear it? If you can't bear it, you can imagine all kinds of crises that follow.
