Chapter 24 Not Every Flower Will Make It Through Spring
Sister Kim. Xiaohua walked out with Xiaofeng, and when she saw Mo Xin coming, her face was full of joy.
"Sister Jin, you haven't been here for a long time." Xiao Feng pursed his mouth, he also knew that Mo Xin was busy with her affairs, but he still hoped to see her often. In his heart, Mo Xin and Xiaohua are his relatives.
"It's a few days that I haven't come. I heard that Xiaohua has just recovered from illness, and you are sick again. ”
Mo Xin's tone was distressed, these two children are also pitiful. She looked at the two of them, and these days they have indeed raised a lot better than before. It's just that the body still needs to be well conditioned.
Xiao Feng smiled, "That's the reason why the weather is hot and cold, and when the weather gets better after a while, you won't get sick." You see I'm tall. “
Xiao Feng was worried about his feet, in order to show that he was taller, this childlike appearance couldn't help but smile when he saw Mo Xin, and touched his head, "Mmmm, this Xiao Feng is a good child, he eats well every day, and he has the strength to help his sister work when he is tall." “
Xiao Feng, who was praised, smiled on his face, "That's it, my little hands have strength, I will grow taller in the future, help my sister do more work, and earn a lot of money." ”
He is a man, he has to share the burden for his sister, and in the future he will be responsible for his sister's life so that she can live a better life.
"Xiao Feng is a promising person, and he will definitely realize your dreams." Mo Xin looked at Xiao Feng and thought: It is really a blessing to have such a younger brother.
"Why didn't Xiao Hei come with you?" Xiao Feng looked around and didn't see Xiao Hei's figure, usually Xiao Hei always likes to climb around on the high beams when he comes.
"This gluttonous cat, I don't know where it has gone, and I haven't seen it in days." I guess where to make trouble, where is it, food can't exist.
"Then when it comes, I'll give it the fish to eat. I caught a few fish in the river a few days ago, and I kept them in the big tank, but the fish is a little small, and the next time I catch a big fish, I will give it to Sister Jin to eat. “
Xiao Feng's eyes are full of happiness, and he likes this kind of life. In the past, even food and clothing were a problem, where there was a fishing rod and free time to fish, and now the days are really something he never thought of before.
He cherishes every day now and is grateful. He believes that life will get better and better, and they all deserve to be happy.
"Okay, but we'll wait until it's hotter before we go fishing." This weather was sunny yesterday, and it rained today, and the clothes were reduced for a while, and adults were prone to illness, not to mention children who did not have such good resistance.
If you go out in bad weather and get sick with freezing, it's not worth it.
"Sister Jin, I'll wait for the weather to go out, don't worry."
"Sister Jin, there are still a lot of sweet potatoes in the kitchen, which are fragrant and sweet to eat. I'm going to bake some for you. “
Xiaohua is a child, she always thinks about them when she has something to eat, and hopes that she can find a husband who treats her well in the future.
"I haven't eaten a baked sweet potato in a long time, so I'll go with you. Qiuyun, you and Dongmei go to the street to buy something and come back. “
Mo Xin watched Qiuyun stay in this church all day long, and hadn't gone out for a long time, thinking that she would go around with Dongmei and buy some clothes for herself and these two cute children.
Children are the same day at a time, and these days, both of them have grown taller, and they should also make some new clothes.
It is better to go out and ask for wages, so that when the time comes, I can pay the brothers and sisters who help in the village.
"Okay." Qiuyun thought about the rice paper in the church, the pen and ink were almost used, and he had to add some more.
"I'll help roast sweet potatoes." Xiao Feng said anxiously, for fear that they wouldn't take him.
"Okay." Mo Xin pulled Xiaohua, and Xiao Feng happily followed to the kitchen.
Xiaohua found a large brazier, Mo Xin was about to move it out, who knew how fast Xiaofeng would take the brazier out.
As the little guy walked, he said happily: "Sister Jin, don't look at me small, my strength is great." ”
Xiaohua took out the sweet potato, and Moxin helped her wash the mud off the sweet potato.
Xiao Feng poured some of the previous charcoal fire into the brazier, and added some new charcoal fire to the charcoal fire that had been burning for a short time, and soon the fire began to get bigger.
Mo Xin brought the cleaned sweet potatoes over, put them one by one in the charcoal fire and buried them with a small shovel.
"Sister Jin, you can eat it after you wait next to you."
"Good. Is there sugar cane? “
Sugarcane is quite rich in water, and has a certain effect of moistening the lungs and relieving cough. Rock sugar and sugarcane are boiled and drunk, and the cough suppressant effect is good.
"Yes, I'll get it."
Xiao Feng walked into the kitchen and picked out the largest one out of several sugar canes.
He walked out carrying the sugarcane, Mo Xin hurriedly ran over to take the sugarcane, she washed it with clean water, and wiped it clean.
Then use a knife to cut the cane into several pieces and remove the skin. Cut the sugar cane into small pieces so that it is convenient to eat.
"Xiaohua, take out a few large pieces of rock candy."
"Okay."
Mo Xin took out a part of the chopped sugar cane and boiled it with rock sugar in a pot.
"Xiao Huo boiled slowly, boiled well, and gave this water to Xiao Feng to drink, it is all moisturizing the lungs, and it is good for his cough."
"Okay." Xiaohua looked at Mo Xin with great admiration, she was very approachable, and she really treated them as her own.
The three of them gathered around the fire, ate sugar cane, chatted and looked like a family.
"These sugarcanes were all sent by Brother Chen."
"Chen Xiaodong?"
"Yes, Brother Chen often comes to church, and he always brings us some delicious food at home." Xiao Feng was very happy when he talked about it.
Children are like that, they will be happy to feed him.
Sister Qiuyun said that she couldn't take his things for nothing, and she wanted to give him money, but he insisted on not wanting to. So Sister Qiuyun will also give him something. She said it was an exchange of courtesy. ”
Xiaohua explained. Because Mo Xin said before, you can't take other people's things, and you have to buy everything you want with silver.
Especially for those who come to the church to believe, even if it is green vegetables and radishes, they must keep an account of the things they send, and find an opportunity to return them to others in the future.
They have all these words in mind.
Qiu Yun also used a notebook to carefully record some of the vegetables, fruits and other things that the disciples in the village usually sent.
During the Chinese New Year, they were given return gifts one by one, no less.
For Qiu Yun's approach, Mo Xin felt very good.
The people in this poor village are not rich in the first place, and it is a good thing that they gather in the church to pray and study.
They brought some food to eat here for a meal, which was also a little bit of their heart.
But she opened this church in the first place to make their lives better and have a place for their souls.
Therefore, she felt that she should have paid for this party and this meal.
Mo Xin flipped the sweet potatoes in the fire with a wooden stick. Where the fire is big, some of the sweet potato skins have been roasted and a little black.
She poked it with a wooden stick, it was soft, and quickly pulled out the few ripe little sweet potatoes.
"These are baked, wait until they are not so hot and then take them and eat them." Mo Xin flipped a few large sweet potatoes and re-covered them with charcoal.
"It smells so good!" Xiao Feng looked at the roasted sweet potato, and the corners of his happy eyebrows were smiling.
"It really smells good." Mo Xin smelled the fragrance and smiled like a child. The world of children is full of joy, and she likes to be with these innocent and kind children.
Every word is sincere, every look is real, like or hate, they are simply and directly expressing their inner feelings.
In such an atmosphere, the mind will be released, and the stress of life will disappear temporarily.
A small roasted sweet potato will also make them very satisfied.
Mo Xin handed a peeled sweet potato to Xiaohua, and then handed another sweet potato to Xiaofeng, and then took a sweet potato and peeled it.
As early as the Ming Dynasty, sweet potatoes were listed as "longevity food" by medical scientist Li Shizhen. Its function is that it can quickly neutralize the acids produced in the human body by rice, noodles, meat, eggs and other foods, maintain the weak alkaline balance of the human blood, and convert the carotene tweezers into the human body into vitamin A.
Sweet potatoes, whether raw or cooked, have mucin. It can not only effectively prevent the deposition of fat on the cardiovascular wall, maintain and increase the elasticity of the arterial blood vessel wall, reduce the accumulation of subcutaneous fat, prevent the atrophy of the pedicle tissue in the liver and kidney, but also prevent fatigue, restore energy, prevent constipation, and strengthen the body.
It can be said that a small sweet potato is really a treasure.
Mo Xin flipped over a few large sweet potatoes, and when they were almost roasted, they buried them with charcoal ash, and when Dongmei and the others came back, the sweet potatoes would not be cold.
"This sweet potato is very sweet to eat raw, and it is very fragrant when it is roasted, and when the weather is good and the sun is strong, you can cook the sweet potato, cut it into strips, dry it in the sun, and make sweet potato fries. When a snack is good, it is delicious and healthy. ”
Xiao Feng suddenly came to his senses when he heard it, "The sweet potato fries are delicious when I hear them, and when the weather is good, let's make sweet potato fries together." ”
"Okay, when the time comes, make a little more, so that everyone in the village can taste it." Mo Xin smiled.
If there is something delicious that you can share with someone you like, it is a kind of happiness.
Sharing happiness and reaping happiness is also happiness, which is happiness.
No matter how good or bad the mood is, in front of your children and in front of the people you like, you still have to give them a positive and optimistic side.
Sometimes, some grief can only be endured silently by yourself.
After all, life is a process of continuous growth, and we always have to learn to face it.
Mo Xin stayed in the church until the afternoon and left.
In the Flowing Water Temple, there are several peach trees that bloom beautiful flowers, and the pink petals look like beautiful butterflies, dancing in the wind.
Mo Xin walked over, picked a small flower and put it in the palm of his hand, and as soon as the wind blew, the flower fell to the ground with the wind.
Mo Xin smiled, but didn't bend down to pick it up. The flowers that fell on the ground decorated the cold ground even more beautifully, or at least looked vibrant.
Not every flower can survive until spring, after all, winter is too cold and too cold, too hard.
Mo Xin had some sadness and helplessness on his face, and said in a low voice: "Situ Xin, I miss you, I miss you very much." “
