Xu Nianleng his neck coldly, then grabbed the snow with a smile and sat on Lin Tong, about to stuff it into her neck, Lin Tong stopped it with both hands, and smiled brightly, "Good son, good baby, it's time to go to school, can we not play?" ”

How can you be a little!

The aunt couldn't look at it, so she stepped forward and shouted, "What are you two doing?" What time is it and you still haven't gone to work? ”

Lin Tong stretched out his tongue, and took advantage of Xiao Nian's stunned efforts to hug and kiss the person, "Son, this road is so difficult to walk, if you don't leave, you will be late." ”

Xu Nian smiled and told her about the conditions, "Let's play again after school at noon, okay?" ”

"Okay!"

Such a thick snowfall, even Lin Tong has never seen it.

Every step is particularly difficult, and the original twenty-minute walk was forced by the two to walk for more than forty minutes to get to school.

Not only were the two late, but most of the students in the class were late.

Lin Tong entered the class, and there were already male classmates close to home who raised the stove, and the stove was burning, so he sent Xu Nian to his class first, Luo Qiaozhen hadn't arrived yet, and Lin Tong doubted that she could come to school today.

helped the first-grade children to raise the stove, put Xu Nian's hats, gloves and the like aside to bake the fire, and took off his padded jacket to dry.

She was very proud in her heart, and when she had lunch at school with her son before, she brought an extra set of clothes and shoes to prepare here.

See how prescient we are.

Now change into dry shoes and put the cotton shoes on the stove to bake.

Principal Wei came, followed by a young female music teacher, "Today, Teacher Luo is resting and asking Teacher Li to substitute her for a day." ”

They are all young people and they are familiar with each other, Lin Tong said a few words to her, gave her some advice and left.

At this time, all the students in the class arrived.

Lin Tong asked everyone to pat the snow off their legs, and took a broom to sweep away the snow brought in from inside and outside the door, and then they were ready for class.

As soon as she said a few words, she pointed to Wang Qiang's seat and asked, "Who of you knows why Wang Qiang didn't come?" ”

Everyone shook their heads.

Yes, on a snowy day, no one can bother to find a classmate.

This morning, Lin Tong was very uneasy, this child has never been unable to come to class, could it be that something happened?

It's so cold this day, I don't know if the coal I bought last time was enough?

At noon, the students got out of school, this time everyone brought food, many students did not have lunch boxes, and parents directly used large enamel jars to load the rice directly, and put a la carte on it.

From the fourth period, Lin Tong began to take turns to give them hot meals, and after school, he went to the office to fetch boiling water for them to drink.

"Xiao Nian, you and your brothers and sisters will eat first, and my mother is going to see Brother Wang Qiang." Lin Tong helped Xiao Nian prepare the meal, handed him chopsticks, and prepared hot water and handkerchiefs for him.

Xu Nian held her hand and didn't let go, "I also went to see my brother, is my brother sick?" He asked worriedly.

"It's too cold outside, you are obedient, play with your brothers and sisters in class, and mom will come back when she goes." Lin Tong instructed the students a few words, they were all sixth-grade students, and they were still relatively sensible.

Yang Lina took the initiative to say: "Teacher, don't worry, we will definitely be optimistic about my younger brother." ”

Lin Tong didn't care about eating, so he put on a triangular scarf and gloves and went out.

Wang Qiang's house was not far from the school, but the snow on the road was heavy, and she walked for ten minutes to arrive.

The chimneys of other people's houses are smoking, but his house is extremely deserted, and there is no smoke at all, as if there is no one.

There was no trace of snow clearing inside and outside the yard.

Lin Tong went to the eldest lady's house next to him and asked, and the eldest lady said that she didn't see him, and thought he had gone to school.

"Something can't be wrong, right?" The eldest lady also asked with some concern.

Lin Tong asked the eldest lady to borrow a shovel, first cleared the snow outside the gate, opened the gate, and cleared the snow from the gate to the door.

The door opened as soon as it opened.

Lin Tong put the shovel against the wall, stomped his feet and entered the house, followed by the eldest lady.

The room was like an ice cellar, and there was no heat at all.

Lin Tong stretched out his head and glanced at the big house.

She hurried to the small north house, where there was a person lying on the small kang, covered with a thick quilt, and he could still be seen shivering.

"This kid has a fever." Lin Tong hurriedly stretched out his hand and probed the temperature on his forehead.

Her hands were very cold, but the heat on Wang Qiang's forehead was still hot, and her hands subconsciously shrank back, and she looked back anxiously and asked, "Auntie, he has a very bad fever, is there any fever medicine at home?" ”

The eldest lady nodded hurriedly, "Yes, I had a cold two days ago, and I just bought paracetamol, and I still have it at home, I'll get it." ”

Lin Tong shouted from behind: "Auntie, come over with hot water." ”

Don't think about it, there must be no hot water at home.

Lin Tong saw that Wang Qiang was shivering, so he went to the big house and brought another quilt over and pressed it on him.

Wang Qiang opened his confused eyes, and his lips trembled a little and said "Teacher Lin".

Lin Tong said softly: "It's me, the neighbor's grandmother took the medicine, and it will be fine after drinking it in a while!" ”

Wang Qiang squeezed out a smile, closed his eyes and fell asleep in a daze.

The eldest lady took the hot water and held the pills in her hand, "This water is just not hot, you give him medicine, and I will go and light the fire." ”

"Alas, trouble lady." Lin Tong woke Wang Qiang up, "Wake up, let's take medicine and go to sleep." ”

Lifted the quilt one layer, helped him to sit up halfway, took the medicine and put it in his mouth, his lips were already skinny because of the fever, and fed him water.

The temperature must not be more than 39 degrees, but almost 40 degrees!

Lin Tong covered him with a quilt, thought about it and asked the eldest mother, "Is there any wine, rub it for him, my child's fever last time went down like this." ”

There is no way, the road outside is not passable, and he can't go to the hospital, so he can only find a way to cool him down.

Lin Tong didn't know how long he had been burning, but he was afraid that he would burn pneumonia or meningitis after a long time.

The eldest lady said: "I'll go get it, and I also have liquor at home." ”

Lin Tong put the firewood away, lit the fire, added a large thick broken wood to the stove, and watched the fire burn in the stove, and poured in half a bucket of broken coal.

After a while, there was heat in the house.

The eldest lady brought the liquor, poured it into a small bowl, and took a match into it, "I'll rub it for him!" You go and see and cook him some porridge to drink? I took medicine for this fever, but I can't do it without eating. ”

Lin Tong knew that the eldest mother felt that she was young, and Wang Qiang was already fourteen years old, which was inconvenient.

That's why she won't come over at noon for a lunch break.

"Okay, I'll cook some porridge." Lin Tong said and went to the kitchen, turned over the rice bowl, and half of the rice was still there, "I don't know what this kid has eaten during this time?" Haven't eaten all this bit of rice yet? ”

There is not much cornmeal and millet left, and buckwheat rice and soba are left.

Lin Tong grabbed a handful of rice, put some millet in it, and boiled half a pot of two-rice porridge.

She deliberately made more and left it for Wang Qiang to eat at night.

Lin Tong scooped up some white flour and cornmeal, mixed them together, put on a piece of old noodles left before, reconciled the noodles, buckled a lid on the basin, brought it to the big house kang, covered it with a layer of mattress, and prepared to come over after work in the evening to help him steam a pot of steamed buns.

The eldest lady rubbed his body with wine, covered the quilt, cleaned up the bowl and came out, and when she saw Lin Tong making a face, she sighed, "This child is a hard life, but fortunately I met such a good teacher as you!" ”

Everyone is not rich, and the eldest mother usually helps him and makes a bite to eat, but it is not a way to go on like this.

Lin Tong has no good way, Xu Zhenhua is not at home, if she recruits a boy to live in her own house, then there will be no gossip.

If she was in her thirties, it would be nice to say that the age difference between the two was larger, but in fact, she was five years older than Wang Qiang.

She treats Wang Qiang as a student and a child.

Wang Qiang treats her as a teacher and a trustworthy mother.

But what about outsiders?

Lin Tong now knows how powerful these rumors are.

Some things, really pay attention to the point, maybe you think that the normal thing, when it comes to the mouths of those good people, it becomes deteriorating, and then it intensifies.

Lin Tong waited for the porridge to boil, and the medicine of paracetamol came up and began to sweat, Lin Tong was relieved when he saw it, and sweating meant that the fever had subsided.

The room was also hot, and the fire was hot, so she withdrew the quilt from him and told him to get up and drink porridge.

Cut some kitchen dishes, and boiled an egg, Wang Qiang was hungry, he didn't feel uncomfortable before, but now that the fever has subsided, he immediately felt hungry, a big bowl of porridge, and a boiled egg were eaten.

"Still eating? Eat some more porridge? ”

Wang Qiang shook his head embarrassedly, "Teacher, I won't eat it." ”

Lin Tong put the bowl down and touched his forehead, "Yes, the fever has subsided," and asked him again: "Why does the coal seem to be not moving?" Don't you even light the stove at night? ”

She knew how much coal she bought, how much she bought, and how much she still has.

Wang Qiang bowed his head and said, "It's not too cold, you don't need to burn the stove." ”

The teacher's money could not be wasted, and he was going to save the coal for the coldest time of winter.

Unexpectedly, it cooled down in the middle of the night last night, and he was frozen and cold.

Lin Tong guessed his thoughts, sighed and touched his head, "Don't save this, isn't it more sad to be sick?" The teacher has money, let's buy it again when it runs out, and we can't do this in the future. ”

She saw that Wang Qiang didn't squeak, and said, "If you feel embarrassed, when you have money in the future, just return it to the teacher." ”

Wang Qiang glanced up at her and hummed lowly.

When he returned to school, Lin Tong remembered that he hadn't eaten lunch, and put it on the stove to heat it up, so he hurriedly gave lessons to the students after eating a little.

After school, the teachers also left work early and informed the senior students to clear the snow tomorrow.

Lin Tong hurriedly took Xu Nian to Wang Qiang's house.

Wang Qiang is still sleeping.

When the eldest lady saw her, she stood up and said, "You got off work early today?" Will you stay for a while? I just went home and took a look. ”

Lin Tong nodded, "I'll steam the steamed buns for him before leaving, Auntie, you go back first." ”

Xu Nian walked up to Wang Qiang and said pitifully: "My brother doesn't have a mother and father, it's really pitiful." Mom, you should be his mother too, right? Is it okay to let my brother go to our house? ”

Lin Tong: "......"

"You are generous, and you are willing to let your mother be a mother to someone else." Lin Tong couldn't cry or laugh, "Okay, you go to that room to do your homework, and my brother sleeps!" Wake him up. ”

Xu Nian hugged her thighs and muttered, "I'm reluctant, but I like my brother." ”

Lin Tong didn't say much to him, "Let's go, mom steamed steamed buns, prepare tomorrow's meal for my brother, we have to go home early, the snow is so heavy, it won't be dark at home." ”

The two of them went out of the small north house, but no one noticed that a few tears overflowed from the corners of Wang Qiang's eyes.

"Mom, brother!"

The word mom was a luxury for him, and his mom hadn't appeared once since his father went to prison.

Probably, she was afraid that she would rely on her!

Wang Qiang thought self-deprecatingly.

Lin Tong not only steamed steamed buns, but also fried shredded potatoes, and called Wang Qiang to get up.

When Wang Qiang was eating, Xu Nian kept looking at him from the side, Lin Tong played his son with a brain breakdown, and said angrily: "The brother you see is embarrassed to eat." ”

Wang Qiang shook his head, "No." Saying that, he stretched out the steamed bun in his hand, "It's delicious, Xiao Nian, you can eat it too." ”

Xu Nian shook his head and waved his hand, "I'll go home to eat, grandparents are waiting for me!" ”

Wang Qiang lowered his head and bit the steamed bun, Xu Nian's eyes lit up, "Brother, you can also go to my house, grandparents are good to me, they will definitely welcome you." ”

Wang Qiang shook his head.

Lin Tong touched Xu Nian's head, "Okay, stop talking, let my brother eat first." ”

Regarding his son's unintentional words, Lin Tong is also pondering, Wang Qiang usually has no problem living alone, but this winter, he is really uneasy to be at home alone.

Seeing Wang Qiang finish taking the medicine, Lin Tong cleaned up the bowl and told him: "Tomorrow morning, the school will clear the snow, you don't have to go to school, rest at home for two days!" The teacher will come back tomorrow morning. ”

She was not at ease, so she went to find the eldest lady next door, "Auntie, can you go over to live at night?" I'm afraid he will have a fever again at night, and there is no one around here, and no one knows about the fever. ”

The eldest lady waved her hand, "Let my old man come over at night, you can go back with confidence!" The road is not easy to walk, hurry back, I will let the old man go over and watch him now. ”

Lin Tong thanked him, went back to talk to Wang Qiang, watched him fall asleep, and then took his son home.

The road was covered with snow, and the sky was still bright.

The snow had been trampled by pedestrians for a day, and it was much easier to walk than in the morning.

Lin Tong dragged and dragged Xu Nian, who was playing in the snow all the way and rolling all the way, and walked home for more than half an hour.

The uncle and aunt's restaurant also closed early.

"With the heavy snow today, no guests have come to eat. There are no stalls in the market either, and even cars are out of service. Hey, I don't know if the herdsmen's losses are big! ”

The aunt nagged and followed the two into the house.

The room was very warm, and the mutton soup cooked by the uncle was also served on the table.

Xu Nian warmed up after eating the soup, and began to think about his brother, "Mom, let's bring some meat to my brother tomorrow!" My brother is so pitiful, he must not have eaten meat for a long time. ”

When the aunt heard this, she hurriedly said: "I said that I saved Xiao Nian's child last time!" Bring it, and I'll ask your mother to pretend to him some tomorrow. Alas, this child who has no parents to control is pitiful! You say that this dad is not serious, and this mom is really ruthless! ”

Xu Nian hurriedly said: "I told my brother to let him come to live in our house." But my brother refused to come. He said with big eyes flickering with a hint of cunning in them, "Grandma, you let my brother come!" He's pitiful. ”
