Hearing that there was no movement outside, Zhong Xixi came out and locked the door, stacked a few sharp stones under the courtyard wall, and then walked towards the house.

"Sister!"

Zhong Mumu was alone in the house, and it wasn't until she saw her sister come back safe and sound that she breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly sat aside to make way for her sister, "How is it outside?" Is it really like Aunt Sun said, there are thieves who come to steal things? ”

"No, it's just that someone smells our food too fragrant and wants to come over to eat and drink."

After eating, I cleaned up and blew out the candle, "It's not a matter of lighting candles all the time, I have to ask Uncle Wang to help repair the thread of the bulb tomorrow." ”

The house is old and the wiring is broken.

It's okay to light candles on the first day, but it's not an option to stay like this for a long time.

"Sister, listen to you!"

The siblings are now dependent on each other in the true sense of the word.

If you want to do physical work, Zhong Mumu is the first, but when it comes to making decisions, he only has one sentence: "Listen to my sister".

Brother is like this, Zhong Xixi is very pleased.

"There is also our bed, let Uncle Wang make us a set of tables and chairs for eating, and then a big bed, and when my sister saves up the cloth ticket, I will buy a futon and a sheet, and then buy some cloth for you to make new clothes, others have it, and my brother must have it!"

Hearing this, Zhong Mumu happily turned over twice on the earthen kang, as if the hay under his body had turned into a soft mattress full of cotton, "I also want to grow up quickly, make a lot of money, buy a cabinet of floral skirts for my sister, and buy you small leather shoes, I also want to exercise, become invincible and then protect my sister......"

At night, Zhong Xixi had a dream, she flipped back and forth several times, and the sound of rain sounded in her ears.

What's going on?

Why is it wet?

Thinking of this, Zhong Xixi seemed to think of something and opened his eyes suddenly.

After a brief blank in the mind, the sound of a dense and rhythmic drip of water sounds.

Why is it raining so hard!

Not only is it raining, but the old house they live in is also leaking, impartially, and there are several places where the rain is leaking against the earthen kang.

The clothes were soaked with dripping rainwater.

"Mu Mu, get up quickly!"

When he woke up, Zhong Xixi sat up from the bed with a carp, and when he wanted to wake up his younger brother next to him, he stretched out his hand but pounced.

Zhong Mumu is gone?

Coming to this conclusion, Zhong Xixi's heart sank, and he hurriedly groped out a candle from the darkness and lit it, "Mu Mu, Zhong Mu Mu, where are you?" Are you still at home? Mu Mu! ”

After a short time together, Zhong Xixi had already regarded the obedient and sensible Zhong Mumu as his own brother.

"Sister, I'm here!"

"The rain leakage is too serious, sister, our soil kang is half wet, I'm afraid you won't sleep well, and I want to bring the bucket in to get water......"

"Mu Mu!"

I saw Zhong Mumu carrying a bucket in one hand, her body was completely soaked, her hair and the hem of her clothes were constantly dripping with water, her situation was so bad, and she still had to remember her sister.

Zhong Xixi was really moved this time.

How can there be such a sensible child!

Taking the bucket in Zhong Mumu's hand, Zhong Xixi did not rush to receive the water, but took out the small suitcase in the cabinet first.

wiped Zhong Mumu clean and changed into clean clothes, put the candle in a place where it did not leak rain, and asked.

"Mu Mu, your task now is to look at this candle."

"Sister, I'll help you ......"

"If the candle is not extinguished, it is the greatest help to my sister!"

Zhong Xixi used all the waterproof tools he had at home.

All of a sudden, the room was ticking and tinkling like a symphony.

"Mu Mu, come and lie down here."

Fortunately, the kang was half wet, and the side was still completely dry.

Put the largest bucket on the leaky place, Zhong Xixi moved the dry straw mat to the side, and after Zhong Mumu lay down, he took out a clean piece of clothes from the box and covered him, and then curled up and lay down on his half-dry clothes.

Staring at Zhong Mumu's thin little face in the dark, she felt unspeakably uncomfortable and distressed.

She can't continue like this, she has to struggle, she has to make money, make a lot of money, at least the matter of repairing the house is imminent, at least she can't let her young brother suffer this kind of crime with her!

I don't know when the rain stopped, but when Zhong Xixi woke up the next day, the sun was already shining outside.

If it weren't for the pots and pans full of water in the house, she suddenly thought that last night's wind and rain was a dream she had.

"Mu Mu, wake up."

After moving his muscles and bones, Zhong Xixi pushed Zhong Mumu, who was still sleeping next to him, it rained last night, and now it is safer to get up and drink hot soup.

But things backfire, blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not one-way.

Zhong Xixi's push, the temperature within reach startled her.

"Why is it so hot?"

Thinking it was her own delusion, she tentatively touched Zhong Mumu's forehead, the high temperature was not normal at all, "Mumu, wake up quickly, can you hear my sister talking?" ”

"Sister, I'...... I can hear. ”

With a fever, he had no strength in his body, and when Zhong Mumu spoke, all he made was angry, and his already thin little face was now pale and he couldn't see a little blood.

"You lie down first, wait for me for a while, don't sleep!"

"Hmm."

Is the hemp rope broken at the finest part?

Zhong Xixi didn't dare to delay, and after waking people up, he hurriedly ran to the kitchen to light a fire and boiled the pot of hot water.

There are no antipyretics that work quickly and effectively these days, considering the current situation, the moment the water boiled, she used her mind to take out antipyretics and cold medicines from the tens of billions of warehouses.

After drinking, throw the medicine bag into the fire and burn it, who knew that antipyretics existed in the sixties?

"Mu Mu, wake up!"

After washing the antipyretics, Zhong Xixi dragged Zhong Mumu up from the bed and leaned on himself, "Drink this, your body will be fine after drinking, and you won't feel uncomfortable." ”

"Ahem...... Sister, what is this? ”

"My mother gave it to me in a dream, it was called antipyretics, and she said that she drank it to cure her fever."

The taste of the antipyretic medicine is a bit strange, not sweet, but not like the bitter astringency of ordinary Chinese medicine.

After Zhong Mumu drank the medicine and fell asleep again, Zhong Xixi drank the banlan root that he had taken for prevention with hot water.

Don't wait, let's get moving.

glanced at Zhong Mumu, who was still lying on the bed.

Zhong Xixi pursed his lips slightly, and then used his mind to take out a bag of white noodles and a box of 100 plasters from the 10 billion warehouse at once.

It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, she is going to explore the black market today, as long as the market is opened, she will no longer have to take her younger brother to experience today's predicament.

"Alas......"

The weather was completely clear, the family would no longer be rained, and I left breakfast for my younger brother before going out.

Zhong Xixi grabbed the handle of the basket, and walked around the muddy road to inquire about the black market.
