Fu Bao's eyes were red, and he threw himself on Grandma Ning's lap, and he couldn't hold back his tears.

Grandma Ning was startled, thinking that her little granddaughter had been wronged, so she hurriedly picked her up and said in her throat: "Who bullied my family's Fubao, tell my grandmother, and my grandmother will go to find someone to settle the account." ”

Fu Bao shook his head, hugged Grandma Ning's neck tightly, and cried on her shoulder.

Grandma Ning could only look at her fourth son and ask with her eyes.

Ning Weihua rarely didn't have a hippie smile, and said in a deep voice: "Fubao sees that you are too thin, and I feel uncomfortable." ”

Grandma Ning was stunned, touched her little granddaughter's head, and said with a smile: "Who's not like this now, the milk is good, our family still has gruel to drink, and other people's families have gnawed tree bark." ”

Wang Cuihua saw that Ning Weihua came empty-handed, pursed her lips, and mocked: "His fourth uncle, you eat and drink well in the city, why don't you want to think about your family, they are all from the old Ning family, and the fifth uncle and aunt can secretly send some food back to honor your parents, why don't you bring anything." ”

Ning Weihua was in a bad mood, his face was gloomy, and he went back directly, "Which eye did you see that we ate and drank well, didn't you see that Fubao was hungry and thin, what are you doing when you send food back, is it cheap for you, the fifth and eldest sister sent food back, why are your parents still hungry like this, they haven't been eaten by you." ”

Ning Weijun was dissatisfied: "Fourth, why are you talking like this? ”

Ning Weihua sneered: "What's wrong, did I say something wrong?" ”

He is not his parents' favorite son, nor is he his parents' favorite son, but his parents have also paid a lot for him, especially for Fubao, if it weren't for his parents' insistence on spending money on treatment, Fubao would not have lived to grow up, not to mention that his mother often secretly stuffed Fubao with good food.

I didn't see it with my own eyes, I really couldn't imagine that my parents would be hungry like this, at such an old age, I really starved to death.

Any man who sees himself and his parents like this will not be able to stand it.

He's not a thing himself.

The second room went into her own house, Li Hongmei saw that the fourth child didn't bring anything back, and she didn't plan to do homework, anyway, the fourth child followed his parents to eat at the eldest brother's house, and he didn't eat hers's, so he was too lazy to care so much.

Wang Cuihua of the third room didn't bargain, and also took the family into his house, but after Ning Yourong entered the house, he sneaked out and called Fubao to the door wall.

Fu Bao was puzzled: "Brother Yourong, what's wrong?" ”

Ning Yourong looked around, took out two dry wild fruits and handed them to Fubao as if offering treasures, "Sister eat, I finally found it, the fourth uncle said that you are hungry and thin." ”

Fu Bao took the fruit and looked at the thin little boy, who was obviously thinner than himself, and his heart warmed slightly.

Ning Yourong looked at the wild fruit, couldn't help drooling, and still urged: "Sister, eat quickly, don't let people see it." ”

Fu Bao nodded.

The small wild fruit doesn't look good, it's quite sweet, and it can be eaten in a few bites.

She also took out two toffees from her pocket, handed them to him, and said with a smile: "I ate Brother Yourong's wild fruit, this is for you, in exchange." ”

Ning Yourong hurriedly waved his hand, "Wild fruits are not valuable, and toffee is very precious." ”

Seeing that he obviously wanted to eat it, but insisted on refusing to ask for it, Fu Bao impatiently peeled off the candy paper and stuffed two toffees directly into his mouth.

"By the way, don't tell others, including Sister Xiaojing and Sister Xiaoling."

"This is my secret with Fu Bao, and I won't tell anyone." Ning Yourong chewed the toffee in his mouth and smiled happily.

Fu Bao was satisfied.

After eating Fubao's toffee, Ning Yourong was a little embarrassed, "Fubao, I'll go up the mountain tomorrow to find wild fruits for you." ”

Fu Bao shook his head, frowned, and said: "Now that people don't have anything to eat, the beasts in the mountains definitely don't have anything to eat, maybe they will run out, Brother Yourong, don't go up the mountain recently, the hungry beasts are even more ferocious than usual." ”

When Ning Yourong heard this, he was half frightened to death.

He believed what Fu Bao said, his sister was a scholar, and her grades were better than those of the children in the city, so she must be very smart, and hurriedly said that she had not been on the mountain recently.

The brother and sister stayed by the wall for a while, and only went back when they called for dinner in the house.

Ning Yourong returned to his house, Wang Cuihua gave her son a bowl of gruel, and said unhappily: "You are so good with Fubao, I don't see her sharing some food for you, so I will have less contact with her in the future." ”

Ning Yourong didn't say anything, he couldn't explain what his personality was, the explanation was superfluous, he knew that his sister was good, and he still had the taste of toffee given by his sister in his mouth.

Ning Weijun glared and said, "What nonsense, cousins and sisters-in-law, why can't you come and go, I don't teach children like this." ”

Wang Cuihua sneered: "You and the fourth child are still brothers, and I don't see him taking care of you, so poor relatives like us can't look down on you." ”

Ning Weijun was so angry that he threw his chopsticks, "If you don't provoke trouble every day, you will die, and the days will not pass." ”

Wang Cuihua saw that her husband was really angry, and she didn't dare to say anything.

The family in the second room was also drinking gruel, Li Hongmei heard that the next door was noisy again, she was very upset, how could Wang Cuihua be so noisy, if she didn't have the money to build a new house, she really didn't want to be neighbors with Wang Cuihua.

Ning Weimin drank the gruel and asked, "Hongmei, how long is there enough food at home?" ”

Li Hongmei was worried, "It's been a month at most." ”

Ning Weimin sighed.

These grains are still received by my parents, and I don't know when the relief food above will come down.

The dinner of the big house is gruel with pickles, and the self-reserved land has also suffered, and the newly planted vegetables have not yet grown, but fortunately, the family has pickled a lot of pickles in the cellar before, and it can be eaten for a long time.

Today, I still saw that Ning Weihua's family was back, so Grandma Ning deliberately took out pickles.

Fu Bao held the rice bowl, looking at the few grains of rice in the bowl, the gruel like clear water, and his own shadow was reflected on it, and his heart was even more uncomfortable.

Seeing that the other people in the big room were drinking well, she looked at Grandma Ning, "Milk, do you drink this three times a day?" ”

Grandma Ning shook her head and smiled: "At noon, the porridge will be boiled with a little sweet potato, it should be thicker, and tomorrow the milk will cook sweet potato porridge for you, but it will be sweet." ”

The old peasants watched the sky to eat, and they could see that the weather was wrong, but they didn't expect that the natural disasters would come one after another, and they were caught off guard, so they could only suffer bitterly.

Fu Bao's brain capacity was not enough, and he didn't know how to help his grandmother, so he glanced at her father.

Ning Weihua silently lowered his head and drank porridge, not deliberately arguing with Grandma Ning like before, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zhang Yinghong had a bitter face, and felt a little resentful in her heart, the family was about to open the pot, and the fourth family ran back to eat without anything, but she was not like the second brother and sister who would talk around the bush, nor like the third brother and sister who could come without face and skin and open their mouths, so they could only sulk by themselves.

The children in the big house were also unusually silent, they knew their own situation, and they really couldn't welcome the fourth uncle's family who came to share their rations.
