Chapter 22: Wild Fruit
"Kid, how old are you?" Song Xi felt that this little girl was very cute, and looking at how old she was, she would say things like 'I've grown so big', as if she was very big.
Song Xi's sweet smile and gentle tone made the two children relax, no longer afraid, no longer inferior, you know, since their mother was beaten away by their father, the children in the village laughed at them for being wild children without a mother, only the little aunt did not look down on them at all, the little girl looked up at Song Xi, "Little aunt, I am eight years old this year, and my brother is ten years old this year." ”
Song Xi nodded thoughtfully, it seems that these two children are malnourished and have not grown well, and they look like they are two years younger than their real age.
Zhou Yi quickly washed the raspberry, put it in a sea bowl, and put it in front of Song Xi, Song Xi took one under the gaze of the two children, put it in his mouth, sweet and sour, and the taste was not bad.
This raspberry grows a lot like raspberry, March pick, and April pick, but those seem to be spring, and this raspberry is summer, maybe not the same kind!
"The raspberries are delicious, little tree, little flower, thank you, my aunt has never eaten such a delicious wild fruit!" After that, Song Xi looked up at Zhou Yi again, "Brother Yi, please help me make two bowls of white sugar water, and thank Xiaoshu and Xiaohua for sending me raspberries." ”
As soon as Xiaoshu and Xiaohua heard the white sugar water, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
They haven't drunk sugar water since they are so old, because their family has no money to buy it, and even if they have a little money, they are still buying food, and it is impossible to buy sugar.
"Little aunt, we are not thirsty, let's leave it to the little aunt to take care of the body!" Xiao Shu, who had never spoken, couldn't help but open his mouth and waved his hand again and again, although he was already overflowing with saliva, but he couldn't bear to snatch the patient's sugar water to drink.
The sensible appearance of the two children made Song Xi feel a little in his heart, modern children don't know how happy they are, when they are so old, their pocket money is hundreds or thousands a day, which is like a child of this era, who can't even drink sugar water.
"Aunt Xiao went to the hospital to check her body today, and I just bought a little sugar, and I made two bowls of Aunt Xiao for you, so don't be embarrassed, besides, you also sent such delicious raspberries to Aunt Xiao, just as Aunt Xiao exchanged it with sugar water, how about it?" Song Xi felt that these two children were not bad, they could be cultivated well, and they would be drawn into their own camp in the future.
Although I am not in good health now, I can't do anything, but what about the future?
Let her be a modern independent woman who lives in the mountains all her life, she will definitely not be able to do it, she will definitely have to do a career, but the times do not allow it now, and she has to wait until the times allow.
Soon, Zhou Yi brought two bowls of sugar water, and the two children were embarrassed to accept it, and finally under Song Xi's 'threat', they took the sugar water with both hands and drank it slowly in small sips.
It was dark, the two children didn't stay here for long, and they left after drinking the sugar water, Song Xi gave them two pieces of white rabbit toffee, so that they could come over to play in the future, and the two children responded crisply.
After washing, Song Xi and Zhou Yi sat on the bed, Zhou Yi introduced the two children to Song Xi, the little boy is called Zhou Xiaoshu, ten years old this year, and the little girl is Zhou Xiaoshu's sister Zhou Xiaohua, who is eight years old this year, their father is a little violent, and beat their mother away, leaving only two children, the two children are begging for life under the hands of their violent father, and life is not easy.
Fortunately, their father couldn't find a stepmother, otherwise the life of the two children might have been even worse.
Song Xi listened to it, and sighed faintly, the days of the little 'Song Xi' were even worse than them!
"Daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that the little daughter-in-law did not react, Zhou Yi leaned over, and now the candles that Song Xi 'bought' in the house are lit, which are much brighter than kerosene lamps.
Song Xi's eyelashes were very long, and the shadow of the eyelashes fell, like a small fan, and Zhou Yi was thrilled to see it.
"I just think that no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education, and no matter how hard you are, you can't be miserable with children, after all, children are the hope and future of a family." Everyone is generally poor, this is also a helpless thing, she is just an ordinary person, there is no way to change this status quo.
"Daughter-in-law, trust me." Zhou Yi took Song Xi's hand and held it in his palm, believe me, I won't suffer you, let alone our children in the future.
Song Xi didn't understand what he meant by this, and after glancing at him helplessly, he lay down and rested, but he turned his back to Zhou Yi, although his eyes were closed, but his mind was thinking about what to do in the future?
If the development of this parallel time and space is in the same direction as the history she has studied in modern times, then the next is a special era, and it is relatively safe to stay in the mountains or the countryside.
In this special era, I can't tell if it's good or bad, and I have framed a lot of good people, but I have also arrested a lot of bad people.
Modern people also have mixed opinions about this era.
In modern times, she has seen such words on the Internet, "The history of mankind is rarely joyful, and it is mostly a march in suffering", "In the long river of history, in fact, turmoil is the norm, and peace is just accidental".
Suddenly, feeling an arm on his shoulder, Song Xi's heart trembled, "Brother Yi." ”
It's summer, it's so close, it's hot!
And he's still so angry.
"Daughter-in-law, let me hold it for a while, just for a while." Zhou Yi leaned behind her, sniffing the faint fragrance on her body, and said in a low voice.
Song Xi, who was surrounded by heat sources, soon became sleepy, she didn't say anything, but closed her eyes, if Zhou Yi really wanted to do something to her, her small body couldn't refuse, but she believed that Zhou Yi was not such an inhuman person, and she took advantage of her weakness when she was sick.
Although the temperature is lower at night, Song Xi is still sweating in her sleep, but she can often feel a trace of coolness, she doesn't know what's going on, in short, she is so confused, when she wakes up, it is already bright outside, and seeing that there is no one in the house, Song Xi took out her watch and glanced at the time, it was already more than ten o'clock.
She slept long enough this night, but eating and drinking well and sleeping well can better repair her damaged body.
Song Xi sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, and was about to put on his shoes when he suddenly heard the sound of conversation outside, and heard that Zhou Yi meant that he needed two ginseng plants, and he was quite anxious.
Thinking that there is a health supplement area in his supermarket, Song Xi decided to look for an opportunity to go in and see if there is any ginseng in it, it is estimated that there is no ginseng for 100 years, but there must be ginseng for 20 Chinese New Year's Eve years, no matter how bad it is, there are American ginseng tablets!
