Leaving the crowd, Luo Ying was also worried, did she really take a child to ask for food?

"Yingzi."

Luo Ying looked back and saw that it was Aunt Xiu'e, in the memory of the original owner, this Aunt Xiu'e was still good, but the conditions at home were not very good.

"Auntie, is there something wrong?"

"There are three earthen houses in the west of the village that are empty, Yun Niang's mother and son used to live there, Yun Niang died of illness a few years ago, her son went to the army for many years without news, they all said that they died in battle, if you sisters and brothers are not afraid, go to live there, their mother and son are outsiders, no relatives here, but it has been deserted for several years, you have to clean up well, aunt has something to eat here, you take it."

After speaking, Aunt Xiu'e stuffed the basket into Luo Ying's hand, which contained some greens, eggplant, beans, six eggs, and about two catties of cornmeal, a little oil and salt.

Luo Ying didn't even know when Aunt Xiu'e went back to get the things, Luo Ying was not hypocritical, accepted the things, and secretly wrote down her kindness.

"You hurry up and clean up, my aunt has something at home, and if you have something in the future, just come to my aunt."

"Thank you, auntie."

Then Aunt Xiu'e sighed and shook her head and left.

Speaking of the deceased Yun Niang, Luo Ying was very impressed, because the original owner and Yun Niang still had a story.

SAID THAT AFTER YUN NIANG'S SON JOINED THE ARMY, SHE WAS LEFT ALONE IN THE FAMILY, THE SNOW FELL A LOT IN THE WINTER OF THE FIRST TWO YEARS, YUN NIANG FELL ILL AT HOME, BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL OWNER WAS NOT INVITED TO SEE IN LIU'S HOUSE, EVEN IF IT SNOWED, THE WORK WAS NOT SEEN AT ALL, THAT WINTER WHEN SHE PASSED BY YUN NIANG'S HOUSE, SHE HEARD HER COUGHING AND MOANING IN PAIN AT HOME, ALTHOUGH THE ORIGINAL OWNER WAS TIMID AND COWARDLY, BUT HE WAS ALSO A KIND PERSON, SO HE BOILED HOT WATER FOR YUN NIANG, HEATED KANG, AND CALLED LANGZHONG, AND THEN SECRETLY WENT TO HELP HER WORK EVERY DAY, Finally, Yun Niang's body improved a little, but she didn't survive that winter after all.

Unconsciously, Luo Ying had already walked to the place where Aunt Yun used to live with the stones, looking at the grass taller than the stones and the dilapidated thatched house in the courtyard, Luo Ying frowned, but at the moment they had no choice.

Luo Ying walked in and looked around, although the things here are shabby, fortunately, they are all there, the knives are rusty and can be sharpened, the grass in the yard can be pulled, and the tidying up can also be lived, fortunately it is summer now, otherwise the sisters and brothers will freeze to death here.

Luo Ying went to the river with a bucket to fetch a bucket of water, and found a piece of clothing from the house full of patches and a layer of thick dust, thinking that it was the clothes of the owner of the house, torn them into small pieces, handed them to the stone, and let the stone be used as a rag to wipe the two thatched houses, the stone was seven years old, but the long-term work and malnutrition made him look only four or five years old, but it was not ambiguous to do some work. Luo Ying went to pull out the grass in the yard, and then put it neatly in the corner of the yard, thinking that it would be better to use it to start a fire in the future.

After the house was cleaned up inside and out, Luo Ying was tired, and the two sisters and brothers sat on the threshold to catch their breath.

"Stone, we don't have anything, are you afraid?" Luo Ying said as she wiped the sweat of this sensible brother.

"Sister, I'm not afraid, we have never eaten enough anyway."

Seeing the stone like this, Luo Ying had mixed feelings in her heart, the sensibility of the stone made Luo Ying feel a little distressed, in the previous life, such a big child was the treasure of the family, but now here she worries about food every day, and is scolded and beaten.

"Stone, don't worry, our days will be better in the future, you must know that every hero must go through a lot of difficulties, does Stone want to be a big hero?"

"I want it! I want to be a big hero, and let my sister eat delicious food and wear beautiful clothes in the future! ”

The stone suddenly stood up, affectionate and firm!

"Okay, sister wait!" Luo Ying touched his head with a smile and said, "You take a break, sister, go sharpen the knife and hoe, and cook for you later." ”

"I'll help you."

"You're too small, I'm afraid you'll be scratched by a knife."

"Then I'll go to the foot of the mountain behind me to pick up some firewood, and I'll cook later."

"Be careful, don't go into the mountains, there are wild beasts in the mountains."

"I see."

Then Luo Ying's whetstones, kitchen knives, and pots arrived by the river, and several women in the village were washing clothes by the river, and when they saw Luo Ying coming, they all looked sympathetic.

"Yingzi, do you really live in Yun Niang's house?" Aunt Cuihua asked.

"yes!"

"It's a dead man's house, how unlucky!" Aunt Orchid said with a disgusted face.

"So what's the solution? My brother and I can't sleep on the side of the road! We didn't do anything wrong, and we weren't afraid of demons and monsters coming to our door. ”

Orchid was speechless.

Other people also understand that if the sister and brother don't go there, there is no place to go, although there are dead people who have broken a little, but they can also shelter from the wind and rain, and there are pots and pans!

Luo Ying returned home after washing things, and the stone also brought back a small bundle of firewood, which was all dry firewood picked at the foot of the mountain, which was easy to use.

At this time, it was already afternoon, the sisters and brothers had worked for most of the day, and they had already put their chests on their backs, and the original Zhuang family generally only ate two meals a day, one was eaten at about ten o'clock in the morning, and the other was eaten at about half past two in the afternoon, but this time she was too hungry, Luo Ying made two cakes of cornmeal sent by Aunt Xiu'e, and put two eggs.

In the past few years in the Liu family, the stone has never eaten eggs, Liu Jiazaburo is a scholar, and the delicious food at home is generally given to him, and then Erlang's son Xiaobao, Luo Ying was a foodie in his previous life, and he has eaten a lot of delicacies, but after a few days of hard work here, Luo Ying is a dry sorghum cake every day, and he can't be full, and now this corn tortilla with two eggs is also the best thing Luo Ying has eaten here.

Seeing the unfinished appearance of the stone, Luo Ying was a little confused: "Stone, in the future, my sister will work hard to earn money and let you eat a big meal every day." ’

"Yingzi, stone."

Hearing someone shouting, the sister and brother stood up, and the person who came was Grandma Li from the entrance of the village.

"Today's business, I also heard about it, here are a few old clothes, you take them to wear, and a few catties of sweet potatoes, grandma's conditions are not good, there are few things, you don't dislike it......"

"Grandma Li, what do our sisters and brothers want, now that you are sending charcoal in the snow, how can you say that you dislike it? Your kindness, we have taken note. Luo Ying knew that Grandma Li sent something over to thank Luo Ying for carrying her hypoglycemia back from the ground two days ago.

"Yingzi, you are a good boy, how will you live with the stone in the future!" Thinking of what happened to her two children, Grandma Li couldn't help but redden.

"Grandma Li, don't worry! We're not going to starve. ”

When Grandma Li saw Luo Ying's smiling face, she could only sigh and leave, she didn't have much land at home, she collected taxes and could only barely make ends meet, and the two and a half children in the family couldn't help much if she wanted to.

Luo Ying saw a few old clothes in her hand, and she could see that they had been altered, and there were many patches, but the sisters and brothers always had to change them. The ten catties of sweet potatoes looked extremely ugly, but they were enough for the sisters and brothers to eat for several days.

"Sister, do you think we were born to our mother?" Shi asked Luo Ying with red eyes.

Luo Ying didn't know how to say that the Lin family was good, obviously he was born, but he was not as good as outsiders, although the stone was small, he was not stupid, and he couldn't figure out this question before asking Luo Ying.

"In the future, my sister will love you, you have a sister, and my sister will make you the happiest brother in the world."

After hearing this, the stone cried in Luo Ying's arms, so that Luo Ying couldn't help but wet her eyes.

"Don't cry, don't cry, stone is a man, don't cry, don't cry."

Luo Ying comforted him for a while before calming him down, and after cleaning up at night, the sister and brother lay on the plank bed and fell asleep.
