Chapter 97: Go to Zhou's house
"Ouch, Xiu, why are you here?"
At the gate of Zhou's house, Aunt Zhou saw Han Mingxiu carrying a basket on her back and screamed in surprise.
Han Mingxiu looked around and whispered, "Auntie, let's go in and talk." ”
"Yes, yes, look at me, I forget everything when I'm happy."
Aunt Zhou let her into the courtyard, poked her head out again, looked around like a scout, and quickly closed the door after making sure that no one was paying attention.
"Let's go, Xiu, let's go inside." Aunt Zhou took her hand and walked to the house together.
Han Mingxiu felt the feeling of thinness and hardness coming from his hands, glanced at Aunt Zhou, and said, "Auntie, I haven't seen you for half a month, why have you lost weight again?" That's not going to work, you have to take care of your body! ”
Aunt Zhou touched her emaciated cheeks and said with a wry smile, "Why don't I know how to take care of my body?" But there must be guaranteed conditions, now that your Uncle Zhou is injured and can't move, I have to do two jobs every day, and I have to take time to take care of him, hey...... "It's really more than enough and not enough!"
She sighed, she was embarrassed to tell this girl, and the doctor also told Lao Zhou to supplement more nutrition, but the two of them don't rely on others to help them eat now, so where can they get supplements to supplement nutrition?
Seeing that Lao Zhou's injuries are not getting better, she is about to die in a hurry, but there is nothing she can do in a hurry.
Doing so much heavy work every day, and bearing a heavy psychological burden, it's strange not to be haggard and emaciated.
It's just these words, she can only hold them in her stomach, but she can't tell Xiu Yatou, people are kind enough to help them and lend them food, if she still reads Yang'er in front of others, saying that she wants to eat good nutrition or something, so that people listen to it as if they are housekeepers asking for supplements, she doesn't have such a big face.
Besides, Xiu Yatou is just a country girl, she knows that she has no money when she looks at her clothes, and it is not easy to give them dozens of bud sticks a month, where can she bear to ask her for more?
After Han Mingxiu heard her words, she said, "The more difficult it is, the more you have to pay attention to protecting your body, now the family depends on you, if you fall down again, what can my Uncle Zhou do?" That's it, I'll buy some for you later, and you can also eat some good ones to make up for the supplements, otherwise you will have to break down sooner or later if you blindly overdraw your physical strength. ”
"Oh, this can't be done, you yourself are not rich, we are already very satisfied to be able to help us, but we can't ask for you anymore......" Aunt Zhou hurriedly excused herself.
Han Mingxiu said, "It's okay, I still have money, if I don't have money, I don't have the ability to help you." ”
Considering Lao Zhou's current physical condition, Aunt Zhou didn't excuse Han Mingxiu anymore, she followed Han Mingxiu and quietly wiped her eyes.
In this world, there are still many good people!
At this time, in the house, Zhou Xilong was sitting at the kang table eating lunch, this time was already past the time for lunch, but Aunt Zhou worked a lot every day, and she didn't come back from work until 12 o'clock, so they only had lunch now.
"Uncle Zhou, I'm here."
After entering the house, Han Mingxiu happily greeted Zhou Xilong.
She had already been to Zhou's house twice, and she was also familiar with Zhou Xilong and his wife, and after entering the house, she put the basket on the ground as if she was returning to her home, and then sat on the edge of the kang without being asked.
"The show is here, have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, you might as well have something to eat here. ”
Zhou Xilong put down his chopsticks and looked at Han Mingxiu with a smile.
Han Mingxiu looked at the kang table, their meal was very simple, only two bowls of bud rice and pasty porridge, and there was a plate of stewed cabbage in the middle, and the cabbage was stewed with white flowers, and there was not a single oil star on it, so it couldn't be delicious at first glance.
However, she still said cheerfully, "Okay, I just haven't had lunch yet, so let's have a meal at your house." ”
"Haha, it's good not to see outside, Fanghua, you go and serve a bowl to Xiu'er." Uncle Zhou liked Han Mingxiu's cheerfulness very much, so he asked Aunt Zhou to go and get her a bowl and chopsticks to serve porridge.
When Aunt Zhou heard this, she stiffened slightly, but quickly turned into the kitchen.
After a while, she came out with half a bowl of porridge, which was also a bud rice porridge, and there was a little black paste floating on it, which looked like it was scraped off the iron pot.
"Xiu, Auntie didn't know that you were here today, I didn't do much, there was only this left in the pot......" Aunt Zhou pinched the porridge bowl in her hand embarrassedly, "If you don't dislike it, Auntie's bowl hasn't eaten much, I'll give you half a bowl." ”
Han Mingxiu said, "No need, the porridge in your bowl is so thin, it's not enough to eat it yourself, if you give me another half bowl, will you still have the strength to work in the afternoon?" It just so happened that I brought some steamed buns and steamed buns, you can take them, auntie, let's eat them with steamed buns. ”
She got up and walked over to the basket, lifted the lid, and took out a small basin of steamed buns and steamed buns inside.
A full pot of steamed buns, about a dozen, made Aunt Zhou'er's eyes straight.
You must know that they work hard here for a month to get a pound of flour, like these old steamed buns, they have to work for several months to earn it?
