"Xiu...... What are you doing here? It's not easy for anyone's family to live, we are already grateful for the old bud rice sticks you lent us, how can we still take your steamed buns? Put it away, we can't afford to ...... such a precious thing."

After coming back to her senses, Aunt Zhou hurriedly excused herself.

Han Mingxiu said, "I brought it all, does my aunt still want me to carry it back?" Besides, it's just a few steamed buns, what's the big deal? Auntie, take it, don't be polite to me! ”

"Lao Zhou, look at Xiu'er......"

Aunt Zhou turned her head and looked at her husband on the kang, she didn't know whether to accept it or not, so she had to ask her husband's opinion.

Speaking from the heart, Zhou Xilong didn't want to accept Han Mingxiu's things, because he couldn't bear to take her, this girl herself wore tattered clothes, and she had to borrow bud rice sticks from them often, they were already very grateful, how could they be embarrassed to accept her steamed buns?

However, if he didn't accept it, he hesitated again when he looked at his old and haggard wife, and at her increasingly thin cheeks.

Fanghua is working too hard, and she also needs to make up for her body......

After a moment's struggle, he sighed slightly, and his principles compromised with emotion.

"Since it's Xiu for us, you can take it."

It's all on the job, and I have to accept the kindness of this little girl, although I can't bear to accept her things, but what can I do? Their bodies are terrible, and if they don't make up for it, they probably won't survive......

Therefore, I had to accept this girl's kindness, I just hope that he will be able to turn over one day in the future, and then repay her well, if they can't get through it, they can't wait for that day, then they have to be sorry for this little girl......

"Look, my Uncle Zhou has spoken, let's get it hot!"

As soon as Han Mingxiu saw that Uncle Zhou had spoken, he stuffed the basin into Aunt Zhou's hand.

Aunt Zhou took the basin and turned around and went into the kitchen to heat it up.

There are only two left in the house, Han Mingxiu and Zhou Xilong.

Han Mingxiu said with concern, "Uncle Zhou, how is your leg lately?" Are you better? ”

Zhou Xilong shook his head and said with a wry smile, "It may be that I am old and heals very slowly, but fortunately, the bottles of anti-inflammatory drugs you gave me are not inflamed, otherwise I would really have to die." ”

Han Mingxiu frowned and said, "You are only in your forties, how old are you, you just haven't raised it well, if you keep up with your nutrition and keep your mood happy, you will definitely grow up soon." ”

Uncle Zhou is a soldier, his physical fitness and physique are very good, although the injury is more serious this time, but if he takes care of it well, he will heal quickly, the reason why he has not been good for a long time must be related to his nutrition and bad mood, if the nutrition keeps up, and then maintain a good mood, he will definitely heal quickly.

Zhou Xilong also knew that what she said was reasonable, but under the current conditions, how luxurious is it to keep up with nutrition and maintain a good mood?

Needless to say, supplementing nutrition is impossible, and maintaining a good mood, he is a high-ranking teacher, and he has become a sinner who can be beaten and scolded by anyone, and anyone can be bullied, so how can he feel good in this mood? It's already good that he doesn't collapse, so he is in a happy mood, and he really can't do it!

Han Mingxiu knew their difficulties, and thought about it, and would buy him some pork ribs to stew and drink later, and bring him some meat every time he entered the city in the future, so as to supplement his nutrition.

As for maintaining a good mood, she thought about it for a while, got up and walked to the back basket, flipped through it, took out the books she had just bought at the acquisition station, and said, "Uncle Zhou, if you are usually idle at home, read more books, reading books can relax your spirit, relieve loneliness, and it is the best way to pass the time!" ”

When Zhou Xilong saw the thick stack of books, he immediately became happy, and nodded happily, "Okay, okay, with these books, my days will be much easier." ”

On weekdays, when his wife goes out to sweep the street, he is alone at home, cold home, alone, just thirsty and wants to drink saliva, and no one helps him when he is anxious to relieve himself, in this case, how can he feel good again?

In addition, when a person is fine, he is easy to think crankily, think of the past, and look at the current situation, it is difficult for him not to cry, and he is happy!

However, with these books to relieve his boredom, the situation can be much better.

When reading a book, he can distract his attention and attract him to the book, so that he will not be cranky and will not feel lonely.

It's not that I haven't thought about reading books before, but the two of them earn too little, and the little subsidy they give every month even has to be calculated to buy some oil and salt, so where can they go to buy books?

Han Mingxiu put the stack of books beside him, Zhou Xilong looked at them carefully, selected them one by one, put the ones he wanted to read the most on the left, and the ones he didn't want to read on the right, it can be seen that these books were sent to his heart.

"Xiu girl, where did you make these books?" Zhou Xilong flipped through the book and asked casually.

Han Mingxiu said, "I bought it at the acquisition station, I still have a few copies there, you can read these Uncle Zhou first, and then we will change them when you finish reading." ”

"Well, Cheng, I didn't expect you to be a child who loves to read." Zhou Xilong glanced at Han Mingxiu, and felt that this girl was not ordinary.

Han Mingxiu returned to the back basket and poured out the contents of the basket.

It was half a basket of wooden halberds, a dozen corn cobs and two cabbages.

Uncle Zhou's house has no firewood, and the county town is not as good as the countryside, so there is no place to pick up firewood, so she brings some to them every time she comes over, although it is not enough for them to use for a long time, but at least it can be used for a few days, and it can be regarded as helping them share it.

Zhou Xilong saw the things she had poured out, and although he was grateful in his heart, he didn't say anything.

The so-called great kindness is not thankful, this girl's help to them can no longer be expressed with the word thanks, so he doesn't say anything, just memorizes it with his heart......

**

Soon, Aunt Zhou heated up the steamed buns and steamed buns, and the hot steamed buns and steamed buns were put on the table, which made the food on the kang table rise several grades at once.

Han Mingxiu saw that the steamed buns were all hot, so he hurriedly went to the kitchen to wash his hands and returned to the kang table.

"Come, Uncle Zhou, try my craftsmanship, Aunt Zhou, you can eat it too......"

Han Mingxiu sandwiched a bun for one of them, afraid that they wouldn't be able to let go, so he also sandwiched one himself.

This bun is stuffed with pork and cabbage, there is more meat and less vegetables in it, and there is a lot of oil.

Zhou Xilong and his wife haven't eaten steamed buns for several years, and they are about to forget what steamed buns taste like.

Well, incense, really fragrant!

Zhou Xilong ate the buns one by one, full of fragrant flavors, it was so delicious that he had to try his best to maintain his image while eating, so as not to let the show girl see his gobbling up.

Although he has fallen into despair, the arrogance in the bones of the soldier still supports him, and he cannot let people see his embarrassment and despair, he must let everyone who knows him see that the self-esteem and self-discipline spirit that belongs to the soldier in him will never fall.
