This Aunt Wang is the mother of Wu Qingzhu's "childhood sweetheart" mentioned before, the relationship between the two families has been bad because of those things in the early years, and they don't talk much when they meet, I heard that the Wu family has found a daughter-in-law, so I glance inside the door at the intersection from time to time.

Helan, who was idle on this day, opened the door and wanted to see the world outside the door, and he hadn't walked around the village for so long, which was a bit of a pity.

Because of filial piety, you can't go out to deal with others for a hundred days, and you can go out in the morning to wash clothes when it's warm, but now it's such a cold day, and it takes courage to walk a few more steps.

If you stay for a long time, you will be bored, and every time Wu's mother lets go of the door, Helan will actively run over one step in advance to take over the work of opening the gate.

The same is true today, with expectant eyes, I hope to open the door and see a different scenery.

As soon as I opened the door, I bumped into Aunt Wang, who was looking in, face to face, and I was really shocked.

Helan also heard Qingmei say that this person is the mother of the family behind, that is, the mother of Wu Qingzhu's so-called "childhood sweetheart", because he has never been out, and the two have not officially met, they have just heard about it from other people's mouths.

Looking at the woman with a red face and pus on her face across from her, Helan could only smile awkwardly, and then opened her mouth and didn't know whether to say hello or not.

As soon as Aunt Wang saw that it was Helan who opened the door, she first looked up and down, and found that it was different from what she thought, so she glanced at it fiercely, then put her hand up and pouted and left, her face was a little unconvinced.

No matter what Aunt Wang thought in her heart, or how she looked down on people, the large abscess on her face was really frightened, and she felt that the zombies she talked about in her previous life were not as vivid as Aunt Wang.

When I went home, I was so scared that I quickly sought comfort from my good sister, and by the way, I asked if I would become like that in the future, and of course I was comforted.

Qingmei told Helan: "Aunt Wang's family is not very wealthy, and there are many children in the family, and the firewood stored in the family is not enough to burn, and naturally it is not like our family has a fire every day to keep warm." In addition, this Aunt Wang likes to visit the door, and after running this house and that house, others can also see that she is rubbing fire, and I haven't seen her rub out any fire, anyway, her skin is getting worse and worse year by year. ”

What Qingmei didn't say was that this Aunt Wang's family was lazy, and every autumn she would go door-to-door to let her children go to the foot of the mountain to pick up branches.

The first thing others think about is to take care of their own family, but it is this Aunt Wang's family who first took it and sold it in the city for money.

The mountain is quite big, but the place to pick up firewood is just these few places, so many children to pick it up, into the winter aunt Wang family only thought about piling it up at home, but it is gone, but this aunt Wang also said that other people's families do not leave room for their family.

Because of this Aunt Wang's matter, Helan also had nightmares at night: she dreamed that Aunt Wang chased after her and said that she would return her son-in-law, so scared that Helan kept running, climbed over the wall, dug holes in the ground, hid, climbed trees, no matter what method was useless.

I woke up while running, but I didn't expect to wake up and find that something was wrong, I was sweating, my body was still a little weak, and my heart was beating heavily.

Qingmei first found out that something was wrong with Helan, and hurriedly got up and called Wu's mother to come over to have a look, Wu's mother first touched her forehead when she saw the situation, and she was a little anxious when she touched it, which was obviously a fever.

Looking at the heavy snow that began to fall outside, and then at Helan who was feverish, his heart was also mixed, at this time, he didn't know if he could go to the city to get medicine, and he didn't know if he would be able to come back if he went out.

But Helan can't ignore the fever, which is really a dilemma.

"Qingmei, you go to my house and bring two more pairs of quilts, and then cover your sister-in-law, cover it and sweat, I'll go and make some ginger soup for her."

At this moment, Helan has not burned much serious, but she is weak and doesn't want to move, seeing that Wu's mother is going to get up and get busy, she plans to get up and go to boil by herself, she is an outsider at home, how can there be a reason to let people wait.

"Mother, don't be busy, I'll cover my sweat later."

"Lie down, but don't get up, your father can't give you medicine on this kind of day, you can only boil it yourself, this fever is not easy to cure in our world."

Helan was already accustomed to the matter of fever, and seeing that the two people who were busy working for themselves didn't have much strength to stop them, they simply closed their eyes and continued to sleep with peace of mind.

When she was half-asleep and half-awake, she always felt that someone was walking around, and Helan didn't care about what was happening around her, and continued to cover her sweat with her eyes closed.

I was sore and sweaty, and I didn't dare to move, for fear that the cold wind would accidentally get into the bed.

When I opened my eyes, it was already the middle of the night, and there was a sleeping place opposite the bed, and it was Wu's mother lying on the bed.

Helan first carefully lifted a corner of the quilt, sat up when the sweat on her body was not particularly much, and did not wake up the sleeping mother Wu, and put on all the clothes that could be worn around her and planned to go out to the toilet.

Unexpectedly, the sound of dressing still woke up Wu's mother, and when she learned that Helan remembered the night, she brought the commode at the door.

Helan was embarrassed, Wu's mother saw Helan's embarrassment, put the bucket inside, got closer to Helan, and lay down again, and after Helan finished solving the problem, she put the bucket outside the door, and quickly got up and tied the door tightly.

"There is hot water in the kettle, it is estimated that it is still hot, drink it and quickly continue to lie down, I just touched it, and it is finally better, but it can't recur."

"Where's Qingmei?"

"I asked her to go back to her room, the fever is not very easy to treat, I am afraid that it will be contagious, if you don't get better in two days, you will have to report to the clan, this is a big deal."

These words made Helan very confused, wasn't it a fever? Why is it so serious?

Although it was dark night, Wu's mother also saw Helan's puzzlement, and after thinking about it, she explained to Helan the seriousness of this matter.

"Well, you don't know, our plagues started with a fever, and then the whole village was infected. Some diseases cannot be treated, and the government directly closes them; Some are treated in isolation; Some of them are left to fend for themselves; Serious fear of infecting other places can only burn the whole village. If anyone in the village has a fever for a few days and does not get better, they must report it and isolate it, depending on whether they can survive it. ”

"And what about them?"

"Most of them didn't survive, and the locked up accommodation was just a grass hut and a quilt, and no one took care of it except for the food deliverers."

At this moment, Helan doesn't know what to say, what can he do in this period of backward civilization? Just like in the previous life, living well is the greatest wish.

Helan, who was groping in the dark, couldn't sleep a little, and felt deep pain when she moved, and her brain was also blank.

Then he counted the sheep in his heart, and when he counted hundreds of them, he still didn't fall asleep, and then he became a number of trees, and he fell asleep vaguely when the sky was light.

I slept very deeply this night, and I didn't wake up until noon, and Wu's mother didn't wake her up.

At this moment, Helan's house was very warm, Wu's mother had a stove in the house, and she was very hungry, but she really didn't have the courage to get up and get dressed and go out.

Looking at the wooden ceiling in a daze, in fact, I was cheering myself up to get up and eat.

Wu's mother, who was cooking, thought about it and went out of the kitchen, feeling that she couldn't let Helan continue to sleep, and she was relieved to open the door and see that Helan had woken up.

Reaching out and touching his forehead, he asked, "The body temperature has dropped, is there anything else uncomfortable?" ”

"It's okay, it's just a little empty."

"Then continue to lie down here, don't get up, I'll ask Qingmei to bring you the rice, it's starting to snow outside again."

Helan sat up and could only helplessly wrap herself in the quilt and lean against the wall.

I don't know if the food is too fragrant or if people are sick and emotionally sensitive, Helan cried while eating.

"Sister Lan, don't cry, what's wrong? Where are you uncomfortable? ”

Helan, who had been crying for a while, looked at Qingmei, who had been wrapping herself in a quilt, and slowly laughed again.

"You just scared me to death, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, I just think you and your mother are too good to me, I haven't felt other people's kindness to me for a long time."

"That's what, a family should be." Helan heard that she was a little helpless to cry because of this, and when she thought about it, Sister Lan must have suffered a lot before, so she was a little distressed.

The two sisters on Helan's side whispered, and the few people eating in the hall were also a little unate.

"Old man, is Helan better?" Grandpa Wu was also a little anxious when he heard that Helan was feverish, for fear that something would happen.

"Dad, it's better, I just went to see it, and the temperature has cooled down."

"Well, this is a big deal, don't let her work for the next two days, it's better to lie in the house, and wait until it's ready."

"Got it, Dad."

"I remember that the village () family prepared a lot of honeysuckle before winter, and asked the boss to ask for some to come back and boil water for Helan to drink."

"Okay, I'll go after dinner."

"Don't say that Helan has a fever when she goes, she is not our family now, and someone will take Helan away for isolation and observation with a fever, and then Lan Yatou's illness will be more serious."

"Dad thought it through, I remember."

"Don't need my dad to go, I'll go and ask his kid for it, last time that kid told me that his family picked a lot, and it was hard to drink tea." Wu Qingquan heard that there was an opportunity to go out to let go of the wind, so he was naturally reluctant to let it go, how good it would be to be able to help and relax.

Under the compassion and care of the family, Helan's illness will be cured for two days, and after going out again, I will look at this family more kindly, no matter what I do, I will rush to do it.

The days passed day by day, plain as water, if it weren't for the family sometimes talking about Wu Qingzhu and Helan, they might have forgotten it.

Occasionally pick up the hairpin will remember the events of that day, look at the bedside cabinet will also thank from the heart, sudden fate let yourself have a home, also have their own things, the wonder of the world is really impossible to say.
