Chapter 2: I can't eat
"I don't want much, grandma will give us two bags of food, and from now on, we will not blame the past." Lin Shuqing said indifferently, the smile on her face never stopped.
In the memory of the original owner, there was no shortage of things when the Zhou family came to the house, and now there is nothing left at home, and they can't eat. But there are so many children, so many mouths to be fed, and she can't care about anything else.
Even if he refused, Zhou gritted his teeth with bruises on his forehead and said: "Okay, let me tell you this mourning star, if you dare to do something bad to Brother Song'er, I will definitely strangle you with my own hands......"
With that, he turned and left the courtyard.
Several children immediately ran to Lin Shuqing again, wiping their tears and calling out to their sister.
"Sister, you're just sick, go and rest!" Lin Zhishu said with red eyes, he was the eldest boy in the family, and he should have taken care of the family.
But he was too young to do anything, too useless.
"Sister, you can rest quickly!" Lin Shuqiao's tears kept falling.
Lin Shuqing gently touched the heads of her younger brothers and sisters, her eyes were gentle like water, and she said softly: "You are all good children, put things away and wait for the food to be delivered." ”
The village is such a big land, so it didn't take long for Zhou to let people come back with two bags of grain. Littered at the door, and after scolding several bad times, he glanced at Lin Shuqing several times before walking away.
At this moment, Lin Shuqing was still standing against the door frame, instructing his younger brothers and sisters to take the food, and watched a few of them slowly swallow the food and move it back to the house.
"Put the grain in the jar, and go and make a fire to cook and eat......
Before she could say this, she closed her eyes and fell straight to the ground.
Lin Shuqing, who had just crossed into this world, had not recovered from a serious illness and had been hungry for a long time. When the Zhou family came to the house to search for things, they all relied on the support of one breath, and they talked with the Zhou family for a long time.
Now that the heavy duty has stopped, the tight string has attracted a moment of relaxation, and it can no longer be supported.
"Sister......
There was another rush in the house, mixed with all kinds of cries.
When Lin Shuqing opened her eyes again, it was the dilapidated beam again.
Lin Zhishu, who was on the side, heard the movement and immediately ran over.
"Sister woke up, how are you doing?" Lin Shuqiao asked with a happy smile on her face.
Several children immediately gathered around the bed, and the one who couldn't walk was also held in his arms.
"Well, it's okay, it's just a little ...... Dizzy. Lin Shuqing said, feeling that she might have slept for too long.
"Sister, are you hungry, thirsty or not, I'll serve food, Qiao'er, you feed my sister water." Lin Zhishu said and turned around and left the house.
Lin Shuqiao held a broken bowl with an open mouth, and carefully fed Lin Shuqing water with a wooden spoon. It didn't take long for Lin Zhishu to come back with a bowl of brown and yellow, paste-like things.
took over Lin Shuqiao's work again, and carefully fed it one bite at a time, from drinking water to eating.
Lin Shuqing tasted this rice, she is used to eating modern fine grains, and she can't taste what is in this bowl for a while, probably what kind of grain is grinded, there are some hard grains in it, some throat stuck, and occasionally you can taste a grain of sand, not salty, not sweet, light and tasteless things, it is better to eat with a hot mouth, it is really not very delicious.
People are very hungry, and they don't care about anything else, and they feel a lot more solid when they eat in one bite.
Lin Shuqing, who had eaten most of the bowl, flickered out of the corner of her eyes, and suddenly saw two yellow-faced and thin-skinned children staring at the contents of the bowl and swallowing saliva, and an uncomfortable feeling rose from the bottom of her heart. Her younger siblings were still hungry and watched her eat, how could she have the appetite to eat.
"I'm full, let's give Erniang some to eat......"
Lin Zhishu held the bowl and persuaded: "Eldest sister, you can eat more, you just fainted, this disease is ......."
"I really can't eat it, you can eat it. I'm a little tired and want to rest again. Lin Shuqing excused herself again, she was really a little dizzy.
"Sister, you have a good rest, call me again when you are hungry." Lin Zhishu said, and then instructed Lin Zhili and Lin Shuqiao, "There is still food in the kitchen, feed my brother first, and then you eat." ”
Hearing this, the two children happily picked up the one crawling on the ground and walked out of the room, Lin Zhishu took a handkerchief and wiped Lin Shuqing's hands and the corners of his mouth.
A child who is only a few years old, taking care of his sister so meticulously, Lin Shuqing looked at it, a little sour.
Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of rubble knocking, disrupting all her thoughts at the moment. Then there was a burst of dust, and the green tiles on the eaves fell one by one, and the eaves above his head opened a big hole. The tapping continued, and the egg-sized ice particles smashed straight down from the hole.
It's hail!
Lin Shuqing secretly said bad in her heart, and hurriedly shouted: "Go outside the house, go to Qiao'er and Zhili, take some wooden basins and planks to cover your head, don't hurt them." ”
Lin Zhishu's eyes were quick, he picked up the only wooden basin in the room and held it to Lin Shuqing's head, helped her out of the door of the house, and then rushed in.
"Zhishu, don't hurt yourself." Lin Shuqing struggled to hold the wooden basin with her hands, standing in the hail and shouting.
The rubble was still falling, and not far away the wails of farmers could be heard, shouting loudly to rescue the grain in the fields.
At this moment, although it has entered autumn, and the grain has been harvested, there are still many green wheat seedlings growing in the field, and a lot of wheat fields can be seen from the gate of the Lin family's yard, and the farmers are running in the fields to rescue the wheat.
The three children ran out with their heads covered, holding the wooden lid of the pottery urn to cover Lin Zhisheng, the youngest in the grade.
The family is so poor that ordinary things can't stop the hail, and there are only a few thick things.
Lin Shuqing hurriedly handed over her wooden basin, which was not big enough to cover the two children's figures. She is an older sister, how can she ignore her younger siblings?
Lin Zhishu, who was on the side, had a big blue on his smashed forehead, and hurriedly pushed the wooden basin back and said, "Sister, you cover it!" I'm a man, I'm not afraid, you're not well yet, and you're weak! ”
It's not a way to push back and forth like this!
Lin Shuqing suddenly glanced at the crooked wooden door at the door, and suddenly had an idea in her mind.
"Quick, take the door down! Let's cover it! Lin Shuqing hurriedly ordered.
The house had long been in tatters, so it didn't take much effort for a few people to take down the wooden door.
The five children huddled together under a broken wooden door, watching the big hailstones fall from the sky, their eyes full of horror.
The hail came and went quickly, and after ten minutes or so, the ground was crowded with dense crystal-clear small balls, which looked very bright.
But now is not the time of prosperity, the family is already so poor that there are only a few tiles to cover themselves, and now the roof has collapsed, and the things in the house have been smashed a lot, how can people live?
