"Hello, kids."

When Yan Yan and the others turned around, they saw an old man in ragged clothes, gray hair, and a wrinkled face, holding a wooden cane in one hand and carrying something on his back in the other, and staggered up to the corridor under the eaves of the Yan family.

Not only Yan Yan Yan and Yan Feng, but even the second brother couldn't help but be shocked when he saw that he was a living person and looked like this.

"Don't be afraid, kids, I'm not a bad person." The old man comforted the three people who were frightened by him.

The children in the old man's eyes are too young, and he estimates that the oldest child here is 8 or 9 years old at most. In fact, it turns out that his vision is accurate! Yan Hu is exactly 8 years old.

"I'm from the Sixth Brigade and Mei Jiachun, and my house is on fire. Everything in the house has been burned clean, and now I can barely survive by eating hundreds of meals. I'm here today just to ask for some rice. Without waiting for Yan Yan to ask, the old man told him his origin and intention.

At this time, Yan Yan and a few people found that the old man was carrying a bag of rice and cloth on his back.

Coincidentally, Yan Yan and the others almost set their home on fire yesterday, and today someone came to ask for charity because of the fire in their home. Because they were too surprised, Yan Yan and Yan Feng didn't say anything.

It's Yan Hu, he has some questions. But looking at the old man, he didn't say anything. What's more, this is not his own home, and he has no position to say anything.

For a moment, he was relatively speechless.

The first to come back to her senses was Yan Feng, she asked Yan Yan to go back to the house, and used the lattice tube to fill the old man with rice.

"Oh, yes, sister." Yan Yan, who was suddenly named, turned around and entered the house.

Yan Yan entered the house, came to the rice tank, opened the rice tank, and saw the small lattice cylinder, only then did he remember that he forgot to follow the old man and took the old man's bag to pack!

She looked around, and the scoop of melons scooping water at home made her eyes light up. She gave up using the lattice tube, but directly scooped out most of the rice grains from the rice bowl with a lady's melon, and then hurried out with trembling hands.

"Rice, give ...... To the old man you! Yan Yan held the rice with white flowers held in a ladyhole, and as soon as he walked out of the door, he panted for breath to the old man who was arranged to sit on the bench and drink boiled water.

The old man stretched out his hand tremblingly, and then opened the cloth bag, revealing grains of rice of different colors.

Yan Hu saw that it was the difference between new rice and old rice.

The white rice is new rice, and the yellow rice is old rice.

"Thank you...... Thank you. You're all good boys! There will be good fortune in the future, and there will definitely be good fortune! The old man shuddered and thanked him.

"It's okay, grandpa, take the rice well......" Yan Hu comforted.

"Oops, good"

The old man did not linger long, and after he had collected the rice, he asked the three of them to leave.

Seeing the old man leave, Yan Yan and the others felt as if something was quietly sprouting in their hearts.

That's the mind growing.

When they are young, they are obviously much more sensible than children who have never been in the world.

But that's all there is to it for now.

After a while, my mother and mother-in-law returned.

Along with what they brought back, there was also explosive news - Mom is leaving! Tickets are booked!

Tickets are for the morning after tomorrow.

When Yan Yan heard the news, he was sitting on the threshold of his house.

The threshold of the Yan family is facing the hall, and it is built very high, and Yan Yan, who is already three years old, is riding on it, and his feet are just touching the ground.

Yan Yan likes to play like this very much, although Yan's mother always refuses to let her, riding on it, saying that there is dust on it, which will stain her clothes.

But she still goes her own way, and she is happy. Yan's mother sometimes couldn't stop her, so she let her go.

Today is different, Yan's mother ignored her at all, and chatted with her mother-in-law Zou by herself. Maybe it's more accurate to say that it's explained!

Yan Yan's heart was neither happy nor sad, and he was not affected by the heavy topic in the mouths of the two of them, and he was a heartless child.

It's Yan Feng, who is usually silent, looking at a dignified old man, and at this time he looks like a child.

Her eyes were red, standing next to Yan's mother, although she didn't speak, but looking at the look of attachment and reluctance, she also showed the image of a child stubbornly.

"Okay, okay, Fengfeng. It's not like mom won't come back, don't cry! When Yan's mother saw Yan Feng's appearance, she was sad and uncomfortable, she took Yan Feng, patted her on the back, and comforted her gently.

Yan Feng still didn't speak, but just wiped the tears that slipped from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand. But let her wipe it, the tears were like a faucet that opened the floodgates, and they were out of control.

Zou sighed and said, "How can there be a time when every day is smooth?" The pursuit of a good life will inevitably give up! This is something that everyone has to experience, not to mention that a family like ours has no source of livelihood, where can we have a good life! "Yingzi, you can go with confidence! With my wife at home, I won't let others bully my granddaughter! ”

"Yes, I understand. Mom, I'll take care of the kids when I turn around. Mother Yan nodded, please.

"You don't need to say this, Yingzi! Of course I would. ”

……

On this day, the sky was not yet bright, and the sky outside was still foggy, and the lights of the Yan family were the first rays of sunrise for this morning.

Yan's mother's movements were very light, she counted the things she was going to take away, and then got up and went to the kitchen to make the last breakfast of the year for the children, and it was also the last meal she ate before leaving.

She tried to keep her voice as low as possible, washed pots, washed rice, lit fires, and cooked rice. She thought that there was no such thing as waking up two sleeping children, but when Yan Feng arrived, she felt that she had overestimated her idea of moving lightly.

"Fengfeng, why did you get up so early?" Yan's mother pulled out a smiling face and said to Yan Feng.

"I was afraid of my mother, so while my sister and I were still sleeping, I left. So sleep lightly! Yan Feng stood by the ear door leading to the kitchen in the hall, holding the door with one hand, and naturally clenching his fist vertically with the other, looking at Yan's mother expressionlessly, and said directly.

"How...... How so? Mom just thought that I was going out soon, and I might not be able to cook for my two precious daughters this year, so I woke up early. Yan's mother said a little weakly. Her original plan was actually what Yan Feng said!

"Oh, that's right! I thought my mom would do that! Yan Feng stared at Yan's mother's eyes and emphasized her thoughts again.

"Ahem, no, no, no. What, since Feng Feng is awake, she will come to help her mother see the fire. Mom is going to steam some more custard or something. "Mother Yan has a feeling of being seen through. But how is that possible? Feng Feng is only 5 years old! Illusions, all illusions!

Yan Yan wakes up naturally. The first thing she did when she woke up was to close her eyes and visit her sister, who was still not in bed.

No? Absence!

Yan Yan opened his eyes suddenly, a little dazed, a little nervous, and his heartbeat accelerated. It's like an asthma attack, it's like a heart palpitation.

"Sister? Sister! Mom woo~" Yan Yan came out of the room crying silently all the way out of the room, through the hall, and to the kitchen, wearing autumn clothes and pants, lame slippers, and crying all the way.

Yan's mother, who was cooking, felt incredible when Yan Feng looked up and saw Yan Yan who was crying.

In their eyes, Yan Yan is a sleepy worm, rarely get up early, today at this time, it should be less than 6 o'clock, the usual Yan Yan, naturally wake up, no matter what, it will be after 8 o'clock.

Today's Yan family, everywhere, is unusual.

Mother-in-law Zou, when she came up, the sky gradually cleared, but it was never really bright.

The door of the Yan family hall has not yet been opened. Even the small exit and door of the kitchen never opened. But seeing that the lights were bright in the house, it was obvious that the lights were not turned on at this time, and they should have already gotten up.

Zou thought to himself: It seems that there will be no delay in getting on the bus. She was just afraid of Yan's mother, she slept late last night, she couldn't get up today, and she missed the trip!

There was a knock on the door.

"Who's that?" Yan's mother asked out loud.

"It's me! Yingzi. Zou returned.

"Mom, wait a minute, I'll open the door for you!" Yan's mother called.

With a squeak, the door of the Yan family's hall opened in response.

"Mom, why did you come up so early. Didn't you say you didn't need to send it! Yan's mother said this, and she still helped the Zou family who was standing outside the house into the hall, and then closed the door.

No way, the early morning of late autumn always makes people feel unbearable.

"Hey, I'm here for you." Zou said, handing the porcelain bowl in his hand to Yan's mother.

Porcelain bowls are not porcelain or plastic. It's made of materials like iron and steel.

And the things in the porcelain bowl are not valuables. It's just a bowl of boiled eggs with sugar water dumplings.

It was and still is not a rare delicacy.

"Mom is worried that you won't be able to get up in the morning, and you have to catch the car, and you will suffer too much on an empty stomach, so I will give you boiled dumplings and eggs to satisfy your hunger." Zou added.

"Ah, thank you, Mom! Mom is so good! Yan's mother smiled happily. She grabbed Zou's arm, tightened it, and buried her head simply.

"Well, the kids are still watching! Pay attention to the image, how old are the people, day by day there is no shape! Zou patted the back of Yan's mother and reminded.

"Ahem, Mom, you don't have to. I've already made a meal. I'm about to eat it! She feigned a cough, let go of Zou, and reached out to brush the non-existent hair on her cheek.

Yan's mother: I am tall in the hearts of children!!

"......" Yan Feng pretended not to see Yan's mother's glance. But Yan Yan didn't turn her eyes from the moment her mother-in-law entered the door, and at this time, she looked at Yan's mother with surprise.

"......" Yan's mother: Don't I want to lose face?

"I've seen it. Pretty good! Lest my fifth child worry about you, you won't take care of yourself when you go out! Zou said with satisfaction.

"Mom, what are you talking about! He won't care about me! Yan's mother pouted.

"Well, let's be honest! O you young people! Forget it, let's not talk about this, are everything ready? Don't let anything fall behind! Zou Shi's frowning brow was lowered again. Instead, he asked about what she cared about.

"Yes, it's all packed! Mother. "Mother Yan returned.

"Well, that's good! Let's hurry up and eat, don't you have to catch a car in a while! Zou nodded, urging.

"Mom, you can eat some too. I've got a lot of it, and with what you brings, it's enough for us to eat. Yan's mother persuaded the Zou family.

"No, I'm not hungry right now! You and the kids eat it! I'll just sit there for a while. Zou said.

Yan's mother knew Zou's temper, and she didn't persuade her at the moment.
