Xiaocao's heart is warm. Although her words are so ridiculous, the father who loves his daughter chooses to believe her unconditionally and cares about her as always. What a touching and happy thing it is.

In Yu Hai's opinion, his baby daughter almost stayed at home from birth to before she broke her head, and she spent most of her time lying in bed sickly every day, as simple as the clear and transparent spring water in the deep mountains, how could she deceive people with this kind of thing?

Besides, how does an eight-year-old child know what black and white impermanence, the judge Hades, and the Yama Hall are like? If you don't experience it yourself, how can you say that it's the truth? He couldn't help but clench his daughter's little hand, and in order to take care of his daughter's hard-won second life, he silently made a decision in his heart......

"Dad, the woodware shop has arrived!" Yu Xiaocao saw that his father was pulling him absentmindedly and almost missed the door of the woodware shop, so he couldn't help but pull his father's hand to remind him.

Yu Hai woke up from his thoughts, saw the guy leaning against the door of the carpentry shop with his sleeve in his hand, and stepped forward and said, "Trouble the little brother to help call Yu Hang, we are his family, come and send him a cotton coat." ”

This guy was obviously kinder than the one last time, he glanced at the father and daughter, and said a little impatiently: "Wait, a few apprentices are being punished, and the shopkeeper may not let them go!" ”

He muttered quietly as he walked to the back hall: "It doesn't look like a family that can't get by, why do you send the child to the tiger's mouth?" ”

Yu Xiaocao's body has been baptized by spiritual stone water, and his five senses are much sharper than ordinary people. She vaguely heard the man's words, remembered the scars on her brother's face last time, and said uneasily: "Dad, let's take my brother back?" It's better to learn some hunting skills from you! ”

Yu Hai often came to the town, and he also faintly heard that the shopkeeper of the Zhangji Woodware Store had a bad temper, and he would make angry with his men and apprentices whenever he drank. He frowned, sighed softly, and said:

"Let's wait until the New Year. If you lend money to see a doctor today, your grandmother will definitely make an excuse to make a fuss a few times, and if she doesn't ask her opinion, she will take your brother back. Don't think about it this year! ”

The father and daughter waited in the cold wind for a long time before they saw Yu Hang trotting out of the side door. Yu Xiaocao hadn't seen his brother for almost two months, and his eyes looked him up and down carefully with sour eyes, although he didn't find any new wounds, his face was not very good, and he was very thin.

She asked distressedly: "Brother, you have lost a lot of weight, don't you shopkeepers give you food?" ”

Yu Hang put his hands in his sleeves, tried his best to keep a smile on his face, and shook his head lightly: "I'm a long, just eat meat and don't grow meat." Little sister, don't worry! The food here is similar to ours! ”

It's just that they don't have enough to eat like they used to, and they live hard. These words, Yu Hang, who has always been sensible, will not say them in front of his family to make them worry.

Yu Hai gently stroked his son's yellow and dry hair, and the child had indeed lost a lot of weight. Even when the child's grandmother was distributing the food rationing, the son's cheeks were sunken as she is now. The girl is right, she has to take her son back as soon as possible.

Yu Xiaocao tried to blink back the tears in her eyes, she took out a few hot meat steamed buns from her arms and stuffed them into her brother's hands: "Brother, this is the meat steamed buns that have just come out of the pot, eat them quickly, they are still hot!" ”

"Didn't you tell you not to buy me something to eat? If you let your grandmother know that you are buying things indiscriminately, you will definitely be angry with our family again! Yu Hang looked at the white fat and fragrant white flour meat steamed buns, and couldn't help but swallow quietly in his mouth. How long has it been since you've eaten food made from fine noodles?

The nest head in the store is made of the most coarse grains mixed with bran, and the throat is pulled when eating, and this meal can only be divided into a child's fist-sized nest, except for a few pieces of chopped cabbage, almost all of the soup is water, and not a drop of oil can be found. Dishes, there is simply no way!

Originally, he took in seven or eight apprentices, but he was half hungry and half of them were gone. For the rest, if it weren't for the fact that the family was so poor that they couldn't support so many children, it is estimated that there would have been a few left. Thinking of himself and two other apprentices who were a little older than him, kneeling in the snow just now, holding a basin full of cold water for cruel punishment. Yu Hang's eyes couldn't help but darken.

"This steamed bun was given by Chef Zhen Yulou Wang, and it didn't cost anything. Eat it quickly, it won't taste good if it's cold. Yu Xiaocao said, and suddenly saw his brother's hand holding the meat steamed bun, trembling constantly, and couldn't help but ask eagerly, "Brother, what's wrong with your hand?" ”

Yu Hang said lightly: "We didn't complete the task and were punished by the shopkeeper." It's nothing, just take a break. Dad, little sister, have you eaten? ”

"We've eaten. Xiaosha, is it hard to work in the store? If you endure it for a few more days, I will go back and discuss with your grandmother, and I will take you back after the New Year. As soon as Yu Hai heard that his obedient and capable son had been punished, he was even more determined to take the child back.

Yu Hang finally couldn't help it, took out a hot meat steamed bun, and took a big bite. The fluffy texture of the white-flour steamed buns in his mouth was intertwined with the fragrant and rich flavor of the meat filling, and he almost burst into tears.

Hearing his father say this, he hesitated for a moment, shook his head lightly and said, "Dad, my grandmother won't agree." No matter how much work our children do, she can't see it. She won't let me go back to dinner! Besides, if you want to get back the apprenticeship contract, you have to give the money to the shopkeeper. Dad, do you think our family can take out money from the milk except for the uncle? ”

This half-year apprenticeship was tantamount to a nightmare for Yu Hang. If you can't eat enough and don't sleep well, you won't talk about it, endless beatings and scolding, and perverted punishments make him exhausted. Thinking about it, if it weren't for his father and little sister coming to see him, I was afraid that he would not be able to hold on to his hand holding the basin.

If you can't persevere, you will be drenched in cold water. The apprentice from a poor family is also from a poor family, and it is good to have a piece of warm clothing, but if he is drenched, there is no change of clothes in this weather where the water is frozen into ice. Isn't this a rhythm that kills people?

Therefore, he has always been understanding, but he did not say that he did not need his family to pick him up, but only expressed his concerns.

Yu Hai's heart was even more resolute, he patted his son's shoulder with bones, and said with red eyes: "Don't worry!" The problem of money, Dad will solve it. You hold on for a little longer...... Take this string of copper plates, and when you are hungry, buy some steamed buns to fill your stomach. During the Chinese New Year, Dad will come to see you again. ”

Yu Xiaocao looked at the string of copper coins, and was quite satisfied with his father's change. It seems that Daddy is not incorrigibly stupid.

"Brother, this set of cotton clothes was given less on Wednesday. It's quite chunky, and remember to put it on when you go back. Yu Xiaocao couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw the pus-filled chilblains and bloody cracks on his brother's hands, and the hands of a teenager were like dozens of years old. Next time, I must give my brother some chilblain cream, add a lot of spirit stone liquid, I don't believe it can't be cured!

Seeing that Yu Hang ate three meat steamed buns in a row, Yu Hai stopped him by saying: "Don't eat it, be careful." Go back and drink some hot water and eat the rest tomorrow. It's getting late, and your little sister and I have to go back. Take good care of yourself. ”

Yu Hang rewrapped the remaining meat steamed buns, stuffed them into the bag of cotton clothes, and reluctantly said goodbye to his father and little sister. I hope that my father can convince my grandmother to take me back as soon as possible. Otherwise, sooner or later, he would have to be like Xiao Mu, so sick that he only had one breath left before notifying his family to take it back.

Yu Hai's father and daughter were silent all the way, passing by Tongrentang. Yu Hai insisted again and again and asked Dr. Sun to show his daughter's pulse.

[Haha! Reiki, you can inhale aura! The small mending stone flew to the cabinet where the precious medicinal materials were placed "whoosh", and was reluctant to come down like a gecko. Anyway, no one else can see it except the owner, and the images are all floating clouds.

Dr. Sun had an impression of Yu Hai's father and daughter, and asked the little girl with a long beard, "What's uncomfortable?" ”

"No discomfort......" Xiaocao was interrupted by her father before she could finish speaking.

"Doctor Sun, my daughter fainted this morning. Please see if the old problem is done again. Xiaocao used to get sick at every turn, leaving a deep shadow on Yu Hai's heart. There were several times when Dr. You couldn't do anything, but it was Dr. Sun who saved his daughter's life.

Yu Xiaocao knew that she couldn't hide it from Dr. Sun, who was skilled in medicine, and hurriedly said, "Dad, I was scared by my milk." I said I was cured of my illness, why don't you believe it? ”

Doctor Sun carefully touched the pulse, looked at Xiaocao's face again, and said with a slight smile: "Don't worry, the little girl's chronic illness has indeed been cured." Pay attention in the future, children are not scared, and sometimes they can be scared out of big problems. ”

"Thank you, doctor, please prescribe some calming medicine......"

"Dr. Sun said I was fine. What kind of medicine do you prescribe? "Yu Xiaocao didn't want to drink the bitter medicinal juice.

"It's a medicine that is three points poisonous, the little girl's spirit is not bad, and she doesn't need to take medicine." Doctor Sun's words were like heavenly sounds, persuading the stubborn Yu Hai, and then giving Xiaocao a meaningful smile.

Yu Xiaocao smiled wryly, this Doctor Sun is an interesting old man. Suddenly, she thought of her mother's illness, and told Dr. Sun about the symptoms and pulse of her mother's illness a few days ago.

"The little girl still understands medical science?" Dr. Sun was surprised.

Yu Xiaocao said with a smile: "I don't understand, I learned medical skills from Grandpa You in our village for a few days, but I didn't even learn the fur." Don't dare to get an axe in front of Dr. Sun. ”

Dr. Sun smiled and didn't say anything more. He pondered for a moment, wrote down the prescription, asked the pharmacy guy to grab a few pairs of prescriptions, and instructed: "From the pulse you said, it can be seen that it is an old disease, and if it is delayed, it may evolve into a lung disease." Drink a few pairs of medicines according to the prescription first, and it is best to come to the doctor in a few days. ”
