Chapter 69: Help
I saw that Grandma Li began to hear Jiang Zhi say that An An had nothing to do, and her face was happy, but then she heard Jiang Zhi say that she wanted to keep warm and eat nutritious food, so she looked sad.
I knew that Grandma Li's family now has two grandchildren, An An's parents have long been divorced, and his father is not at home, so I guess life will not be easy, so I asked Grandma Li how she is living these days.
"Grandma Li, didn't your family go outside to cut branches? There is no heating at home. ”
"Go, it's so cold, and there's nothing to warm up at home, and we see the big guys going out to cut down trees, can we not go." But An An's father is not at home, we are old and young, and before we can cut down the branches, they cut down the whole tree, how can we rob others. We followed the others to pick up some fallen branches, and they weren't happy. "Grandma Li said helplessly that she also wants to give An An a good environment, but she is in her 70s, and An An is only 8 years old, and she is not a person who can go out to chop wood." I also save the firewood I picked up, and I can only order it once every few days. ”
"And how do you usually cook?" I can't figure it out, I only light a fire once in a few days, so what do I usually eat.
"I cook for a few days at a time, and I usually nibble on some frozen rice or steamed buns. It's okay to talk about the water, there is snow outside, and I always look for clean snow that no one has stepped on to bring back. An An has been sick for the past few days, and he has no appetite, but I can't even give him hot food, and my grandmother doesn't take good care of him. After saying that, Grandma Li couldn't hold back her tears in front of me.
As soon as I heard that Grandma Li and An An stayed in the ice cellar-like room every day, nibbling on hard steamed buns, my heart felt as if I had been grabbed by a hand, and I felt pain. It's not that I'm soft-hearted, I think as long as it's a mother of a child, I can't listen to my child's suffering.
"Grandma Li, An An can't stay in such an environment. After all, he is still young, and his body's resistance is too weak. It's too cold here, plus there is no hot food to eat and no clean water to drink. Children are the most susceptible to getting sick. Besides, you're getting older, too. This environment is not for you either.
Pack up and go to my house for a few days. Jiang Zhi and I exchanged a look, knowing that Jiang Zhi supported me, so I said to Grandma Li.
"How can it be done, in this situation, it is not easy for anyone, we can't go and make trouble for you." When Grandma Li heard me say that she should let them go to my house, she was very moved. But he firmly rejected me.
"Grandma Li, don't bother, I still have a guest room at home, and you can have a place to stay. As for charcoal or something, usually these few people in the family also order so much charcoal, and you also order these when you come. It won't be wasted. Food or something, we have saved a lot when it snows, and it is not bad for you to eat a little bit, in the words of my mother-in-law, isn't it just a matter of two more pairs of chopsticks and more scoop water. "I want to use An An to move Grandma Li." Also, if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about An An. He's sick right now. Even if you take medicine, you can't freeze anymore. ”
"Aunt Qu. I can hold on, I'm not going anywhere, I'm just waiting for my dad at home. An An was lying on the bed, just taking the medicine, her face was still flushed, but when she heard me ask them to go to my house, she made her attitude clear.
"Xiaoyi, don't say it. I know you mean well, and we appreciate it. But as soon as it snowed, An An's father called us and said that he would rush back immediately, it had been more than 2 months, and he should be back soon. So we didn't go anywhere, An An and I had to wait at home for his father to come back. "Grandma Li gave another reason why they didn't go to my house.
Jiang Zhi and I looked at each other, today is January 23, 2015, An An's father has been walking on the road for 2 and a half months and has not come back, I am afraid that it is more than lucky.
We can't force them anymore, Jiang Zhi went back upstairs at my signal and took some things down.
There were 2 thick new quilts, a sack of charcoal, a large piece of frozen hard pork, and a bag of rice on the one hand, and four large ice cubes. Jiang Zhi put down these things and went upstairs again.
"These are two thickened quilts, I think your quilt is just like that, it's not warm, you use this to make the bed thicker, and it can also be warmer."
I brought the hemp bag over again, "And these are charcoal, which Jiang Zhi brought from his classmates, and there are many more, enough to survive this winter, so you can burn hard, don't save it." After saying that, I was still afraid that Grandma Li would not be willing to burn it even if she had charcoal, so I added, "An An needs a warm environment now." ”
Then he pointed to the things on the ground and said, "There is also this piece of meat, you make an meat dish for An An that he likes to eat, and you and An An will make up for it." You don't have much rice, so bring some first, and I'll deliver it in a few days.
These pieces of ice were frozen when we didn't stop the water, but we were afraid that the water would stop in the future, which really made us expect it. An An can't drink raw water now, and don't drink snow water, I don't know if it's clean or not, you can keep it for a few quick days, and the rest are using snow water. "I ram on and on.
Jiang Zhi came down from upstairs again, and he used a basket to pull two steaming dishes, as well as two large bowls full of rice.
I took out the mushu persimmons and mutton stewed radish in the basket and put them on the bedside table, and took out two bowls of rice for Grandma Li and An An each, "Quick, the food is still hot, you hurry up and eat it while it's hot, or it will be cold in a while." ”
After I put the rice on the table, I raised a charcoal stove with Jiang Zhi, and after a while, the room was a little hot.
After that, Jiang Zhi and I didn't stay long, for fear that they would not be comfortable because we were eating, so we went back to our own house.
When Hanhan and the others came back from Qu's father and Qu's mother's house, we told us about what happened today. Jiang's father and Jiang's mother also sighed for a while, it is really not easy for an old man to lead a child in this world.
Dad Jiang said: "Let's help as much as we can, it's not easy for them." ”
Jiang's mother continued: "Yes, it seems that An An's father is enough to choke, so he pities the child." In the future, Hanhan and I will send them something. ”
Hanhan also said: "Okay, Mom, I like Brother An An, he still gives me ice cream in the summer." He's sick now, and I'll bring him something to eat. ”
"Good son, Brother An An is sick, you can take care of him when you have time and spend more time with him." Jiang Zhi also felt sorry for Xiao An'an. (To be continued.) )
