Liu Bicao counted the time to wait for Liu Boan at the gate of the courtyard, and Liu Boan, who was like an arrow, urged Shen Jinxin's brother and sister to hurry up all the way, so he didn't let Liu Bicao wait longer, and soon appeared at the gate of the courtyard.

"Sister, I'm back." Liu Boan saw Liu Bicao's waiting figure from afar, left the two people behind him, and ran towards her quickly.

Liu Bicao was very happy to see her younger brother come back, and pulled Liu Boan to look at it from top to bottom, "Why do I think you have lost weight?" Did your brother bully you at the pharmacy? Is Dr. Wang strict with you? Why didn't you come back last time? ”

"Sister-in-law, you ask so many questions at once, which one do you want Boan to answer?" Shen Jinxin got Liu Boan's signal to come over to help him, keeping him away from Liu Bicao's "claws".

Liu Bicao smiled: "Yes, mine is not, go in, you're hungry, wash your hands and eat." With that, the four of them entered the house, went into the kitchen, got hot water, and let one go

The three sweats instantly cooled up. The family gathered around the table to eat, and then listened to Liu Boan talk about his pharmacy in the town

"Meizi, don't rush back to the room, I have something to tell you." Liu Bicao called Shen Mei, who wanted to go back to the room to rest, and pulled her to sit down in the courtyard, and the slightest breeze blew to make people feel it. Shen Mei listened to her sister-in-law's words the most, Liu Bicao spoke, and came back again, sitting with Liu Bicao, I don't know what it is

"Sister-in-law, what's the matter?"

Liu Bicao didn't rush to say, and cut a piece of the melon that was placed by the well: "I want to tell you about your embroidery work." ”

"What's wrong with the embroidery?" Shen Mei took a bite of the melon.

"That's the case, Aunt Zhou came to the house today, saying that she wanted you to give her some embroidery work to do, I think that what you are taking now is more for the little girl, the next time you go to the embroidery room, you will pick up some growth and shoes with a very complicated style, there are many like Aunt Zhou's in our village

Hearing Liu Bicao say this, Shen Mei seemed to see the money fall on her body, and stepped forward to hug Liu Bicao: "Sister-in-law, you are simply the lucky star of our family, haha." I'll go to town tomorrow. ”

"Let go of your sister-in-law." Shen Jinqian saw that Liu Bicao was hugged by her so tightly that she was about to lose her breath, so he hurriedly broke Shen Mei's hand away and looked at her seriously, "Are there any rules?" Shen Mei wrinkled her nose, ignored her eldest brother, and went out to find Liu Boan and Shen Jinxin, who went to the pond to watch the fish.

Shen's father and Shen's mother were tired all day during the day, and no young people had the energy, so after eating the melon and sitting in the courtyard for a while, they talked to Liu Bicao and Shen Jinqian, and prepared to go back to the room to rest.

Liu Bicao and Shen Jinqian were also ready to go back to the room to rest, Liu Erlei came, hurriedly pulled Liu Bicao and walked out of the door, Liu Bicao didn't know what to do, the father and daughter hadn't seen each other since the New Year's Festival, although they were in the same village, but Liu Erlei now lives at the end of the village, and Liu Bicao deliberately avoided him on weekdays.

How about Liu Erlei is also a man, that strength must be much greater than Liu Bicao, and she can't break free for a while. Shen Jinqian stepped forward and grabbed Liu Erlei's hand mercilessly, making him feel pain, and let go of Liu Bicao.

"What do you want to do?" Shen Jinqian took Liu Bicao in his arms and looked at his father-in-law in front of him with a cold face.

"Bicao, let's go, come with me to see your brother, your brother is going to die." Liu Erlei tried to step forward again to grab Liu Bicao, but Shen Jinqian kept Liu Bicao behind him, so that Liu Erlei had no chance.

Liu Boan, who came back from fishing in the pond, saw Liu Erlei in the yard, immediately threw away the fish in his hand, ran up and pushed Liu Erlei away: "What are you doing here?" Come on. Shen Jinxin followed behind and picked up the fish, "Yo, what a rare guest." ”

"Say, what are you doing?" Liu Boan and Shen Jinqian stood together and did their best

Liu Erlei covered his face and squatted on the ground and cried "woo": "Bicao, you can go with me to have a look." Liu Erlei kept crying, saying this sentence repeatedly, and stayed at the Shen family again, which made everyone else helpless.

Liu Bicao walked out from behind Shen Jinqian, frowning, afraid that his voice would wake up Shen's father and Shen's mother, who were asleep: "What are you going to see with you?" Can you stop crying and get up and speak clearly? ”

"Your brother, your brother is going to die, go and see." Liu Erlei saw Liu Bicao speak, and quickly got up from the ground, and saw hope: "Your two younger brothers are dying, they have been lying in bed for a day or two, and now they can't feed the water." ”

Liu Bicao was anxious when she heard it, although she hated the Liu family, but no matter what happened, it was two lives, as soon as she heard that the two children could no longer be fed, she immediately went to get the medicine box and went to Liu Erlei's house accompanied by Shen Jinqian.

Liu Erlei was not wrong, the two children were lying on the bed side by side, Liu Bicao immediately stepped forward to check the pulse of the two, and looked at the children's face and lip color. "What's going on, Bicao, huh?" Seeing that Liu Bicao frowned and didn't speak, Liu Erlei asked worriedly.

"How many days have they not eaten?" Liu Bicao sighed, "Don't worry, it's not sick, it's hungry." "I was in a hurry to see a doctor just now, and I didn't notice that Wang was not at home, and Liu Xiuzhi was not at home, it stands to reason that my son was lying in bed, and the mother was relieved that she was not at home.

Liu Bicao looked in the room, and the only tables and stools in the room had fallen a layer of dust, and it seemed that they hadn't been cleaned for a long time: "What about the Wang family?" Why not at home? ”

What Liu Bicao didn't know was that the Wang family had quietly left with Liu Xiuzhi a few days ago. This story started last winter, when Liu Erlei's family was driven out of Liu's house by Liu's wife, they only brought a little food, and the family had no place to live.

Later, the family's food was not enough to eat, and there was no food to borrow everywhere, Liu Erlei was forced to go to the town to work part-time, and gradually saved some money, and planted the seeds when the spring was planted, but in this way, the family had no grain in stock, and the family suffered day by day. Gradually, he couldn't stand it anymore, and the Wang family was hooked up with Liu Erlei and the merchant who often came to the village, and when Liu Erlei was not at home, he left his two sons and the merchant with Liu Xiuzhi, the only valuable thing at home.

"And what will happen to the two of them?" Liu Erlei heard that the two children were just hungry, and most of the stones in his heart were put down, but he was very worried: "Then what should I do?" ”

Liu Bicao sighed: "It's going to be okay, don't worry, don't feed anything, feed some clear porridge every day, and slowly exert yourself." ”

Liu Erlei wanted to speak and stopped, and looked at Liu Bicao with difficulty: "I...... There is no food at home, what kind of porridge to cook. ”

Looking at the two children lying on the bed and dying, Liu Bicao felt that no matter how innocent the child was, she decided to bring him some food: "Tomorrow I will ask Boan to send you some food and eggs, you cook porridge for them yourself, don't feed too much every day, take your time." ”

Shen Jinqian saw that Liu Bicao had explained everything that should be explained, holding the medicine box in one hand and holding her in the other, and the two of them went home under the moonlight. "You say, how much the child suffers" Liu Bicao held Shen Jinqian's hand tightly.

Early the next morning, Liu Boan reluctantly carried the prepared grain to Liu Erlei's house under the coercion and temptation of Liu Bicao, and saw the current appearance of the Liu family, and saw Liu Dabao and Liu Erbao lying motionless on the bed, and they were also a little unbearable, so they put down the food and left.
