Chapter 423: Sending Charcoal in the Snow
He's mother and daughter had been leaning on the door and waiting for her to come back, and as soon as they saw it, they couldn't wait to meet her, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" Is it the Li family? ”
Qingwan nodded.
"W-how's this good?" He Shi was anxious to just say these words, "What about people? Didn't get hurt, right? ”
"Uncle Li he"
After hearing these words, He's mother and daughter all understood, and they couldn't help but shed tears: "Your Uncle Li is such a kind person, that's it"
"I see them crying, now is the time of chaos, and I can't help others, so I'll come back first." Qingwan said, "Mother, don't worry, I'll go over again in the evening, the Li family has helped our family so much, I won't stand by this time!" ”
"Yes, yes," He said with tears in his eyes, "My mother will go with you at night, this is really an unforeseen situation, people have good fortunes and misfortunes, a good family, who would have thought of it!" ”
"How many of them weren't hurt, did they?" Hanjuan asked hurriedly.
"My aunt's leg is injured and she walks lame, but Brother Wu and Sister Ping look fine."
"Hey, let's eat first, your father will be back soon. Let's go over and have a look after dinner. He said as he went to the kitchen.
Qingwan hurriedly stood up and stopped her, and went to cook a simple meal with her eldest sister. As soon as it was done, Qing Boding and his son also entered the house, and apparently they also learned the news that the Li family was on fire.
Therefore, as soon as I entered the door, I didn't even bother to wash my face, so I hurriedly asked.
Qingwan explained in a few words, Qing Boding didn't say anything, just sighed a few times, didn't say a word, washed his face and drank water.
Qingwan understands his father, and every time he is silent, it actually proves that his heart is extremely heavy.
Hanguang was in a hurry, and he was going to Li's house immediately.
"Come and eat first," Qingwan hurriedly stopped him: "It's the time for people to be chaotic now, it's not enough for you to go, right?" Eat obediently, and my mother and I will take you there in a while. ”
Hanguang didn't dare to speak. The family finished their meal in a dull state of mind and quickly cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks. He took Sister Hanjuan and Hanguang to Li's house together.
The night was deep, only a cold bright moon hung high in the night sky, illuminating the world, there were happy families, and there were also small families like the Li family, who had just encountered deep misfortune.
At the door of Wu Wen's house, there were people in the village coming in and out, and everyone had a mournful expression on their faces, obviously they were all villagers who were usually good, and they had just finished going to condole.
Qingwan looked at the only remaining bracket in the east house, and said in a low voice: "Mother! Why are they still here? It's just snowed, and it's so cold, how can there still be people living here? ”
"The Li family is thin, there are no relatives, and the He family has only one brother, who is the cherry blossom father who came last time." He whispered, "Except for relatives, it's not easy for other people's families to open their mouths to borrow it." ”
Qingwan frowned, didn't say anything, and followed her mother inside.
It just so happened that at this time, the villagers were all gone, and there were only three He Niang in the house. With tears on his face, he sat there silently.
"Aunt He!" He slowed down and whispered.
Hearing this, He raised his head and looked at the person in front of him blankly, as if he didn't know him.
"Aunt He!" He whispered again, clenching her hand tightly.
Only then did He Shi react, and suddenly burst out into a burst of crying, unable to say a word.
As if she had met a relative, Wu Ping threw herself into Qingwan's arms, hugged her tightly, and couldn't cry. Qingwan gently stroked her back and shed tears.
The rest of the people all started crying, and after a long time, they all gradually eased up, Wu Wen was quite calm, and he pulled a few chairs underground: "Aunt Wei!" Sit down! This was brought by the neighbor's aunt just now. Or maybe there's no place to sit! ”
"Aunt He!" He said softly, "Things are already like this, let's mourn and change!" You have two children, and you can't fall for them! ”
"Sister-in-law! I still can't believe it's true! How could the child's father leave us so suddenly? How can we live without our orphans and widows? As he spoke, he began to cry again.
"Mother!" Wu Wen suddenly spoke resolutely: "Dad is gone, isn't there still me?" This home, and I hold it up! Don't worry, I'm sure I'll take care of you and my sister! ”
These words touched He's sadness even more, and he couldn't even say anything when he cried.
"Good boy," He said with tears in his eyes, "Auntie believes you, how did this fire start?" ”
"Auntie," Wu Wen had already stopped her tears, and her voice was low: "This thing is also fateful to say!" Yesterday my dad piled up the firewood for the winter, and my dad accidentally got a spark to go up, and it became like this all of a sudden."
Hearing this, everyone present sighed slightly, and He said: "Alas! Things have already happened, so let's not talk about the past. Don't be too sad, your body is important! ”
"Aunt He, Brother Wu Min, Sister Ping," Qingwan, who had been listening quietly after entering the house, spoke: "The most important thing now is where do you live?" ”
The three members of the Li family all raised their heads blankly when they heard this, obviously, they were immersed in sadness, and they hadn't had time to think about this question yet.
He was completely confused, his brain was blank, and he couldn't answer anything. Can't think about anything. Wu Ping didn't understand anything. Only Wu Wen thought for a moment and said, "Sister Juan, don't worry about us, I'll find Li Zheng to think of a way tomorrow, isn't there still a little shelf left?" Get some shelter from the wind and rain, and our family will be able to get over it. Let's talk about it later! With me here, Zhun Bao can't let his mother and sister be wronged! ”
"Brother Wu Wen," Qingwan continued, "I know you can definitely do it. But at the moment, there is no rent in our village, this is not like summer, it looks like winter, it is wind and snow, just such a frame house, how to live? Aunt He is old and in poor health, even you and Sister Ping can't be frozen here! ”
"I" Wu Wen didn't think about how to answer for a while.
Qingwan had already made plans for them in her heart, and said slowly at this time: "I have an idea, you can see if it will work." My house is smaller, but it can accommodate a few people. If you don't dislike it, why don't you move to my house for the time being, whether it's old or new, it will always be warmer. When you have stability and another place to live, you can move out, isn't it the same? ”
He obviously never expected that Qingwan would say such a thing, her eyes widened in surprise, the misunderstanding and what Qingwan had done for her niece Sakura in the past made her heart feel deeply guilty.
He felt embarrassed and had no words. Wu Wen didn't think about it, and refused in one bite: "Sister Juan, we understand your kindness." But your house is not big, and if you squeeze into the three of us, it will never work. You can rest assured that we can hold on to the past. ”
Wu Ping's eyes showed a longing light, but seeing the attitude of her mother and brother, she swallowed the words that came to her mouth again, and she didn't dare to speak rashly.
Qingwan had expected the stubborn Wu Wen to say this, she was not in a hurry, she had to persuade him to come down today!
"Brother Wu Min," Qingwan continued to persuade him, "I know you are a strong person. But man, when the time comes, you have to say something. This is a sudden change, manpower can't stop it, for the time being, since you can't get a good place to live, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your aunt and sister. Besides, this can't say anything about whether you want to be strong or not, and when this matter is over and your family recovers, isn't it the same to move out again? ”
Hearing these words, Wu Wen also thought about it, and was speechless for a long time.
Seeing that he was already a little moved, Qingwan continued to persuade: "Brother Wu Wen, if you think about my words, is it so reasonable?" Don't hesitate, hurry up and pack up your things, and come with me in a while, otherwise, in the middle of the night, if your aunt and sister Ping are frozen, it will be terrible! ”
"Yes," Wu Ping couldn't help it for a long time, "Brother! You just say yes! You heard what Sister Fang said right, there are so many brackets left, how can we live? At Sister Fang's house, I can still have a companion! ”
"What are you talking nonsense about, girl?" Coco Wu's face sank slightly: "Are you going to play?" ”
"No, no," Wu Ping was still a child, and when she saw that she had said the wrong thing, she waved her hand in fright: "I didn't mean that!" That's really not what I meant! I mean, I like to be with Sister Fang the most. In the future, I can also help Aunt Wei work, I can do anything! ”
"Wu Wen," He Shi hurriedly said, "where do you see where you said?" Look at the scared girl. What are you doing? As long as you can do it well, we can rest assured! ”
"Girl, we have received your kindness," He said gratefully and a little hesitantly: "The three of us will stay here for a few days first, I will write a letter to my mother's brother tomorrow, and our mothers will go there to live for a few days first." ”
"That's fine." Qingwan said sincerely, "But the time it takes to come and go is not short, and it is so cold these days that I can't live anymore." Such. Auntie, a few of you will come to my house for a few days first, and when Uncle He arrives with a letter, it will not be too late for you to go again. ”
He still hesitated: "Auntie doesn't know how to thank you." But your house is also a small and narrow house, and we, the three of us, are procrastinating, and it is too troublesome to live in your house, which is absolutely impossible! ”
"Auntie, you can put a hundred hearts on this." Qingwan said, "You also know, my fifth aunt lived in my house for a few days a few days ago, and my sister Hanyan, that house is enough for two or three people, and there is no problem at all." ”
