Chapter 25, Gifts
"Quick, come inside and warm up, don't freeze." Seeing the three of them coming back, Bai Jiu and Aunt Peng immediately stepped forward to help them put down the firewood on their backs.
It was snowing outside, and the clothes on the three of them were covered with a lot of snowflakes.
"Thank you, mother."
After entering the house, Bai Jiu helped Xiuxiu and Zhengyang change their coats and brought them a new one to wear.
This was sent by Aunt Peng today, but she didn't expect that in just two days, she made the cotton clothes and pants of the two children.
It's a coincidence.
"If you are patriotic, don't move by the fire, be careful of freezing, and there are no clothes you wear at home." She herself was wearing the down jacket she wore at the beginning, and there were really no adult clothes, even Gao Zhijun's clothes didn't have one at home.
It can be seen how many days he has been at home.
"It's okay aunt, I'll just bake it." Aiguo said with some embarrassment.
Although he is still a child, he is also in his teens, and he has long passed the age of ignorance and knows that he is shy.
"Okay, you just leave him alone, just bake him, the dumplings will rot if you don't eat them, eat them quickly." Of course, Aunt Peng is also worried about patriotism, but he wears a lot of clothes, and his coat is taken off and he is by the fire, so it's okay.
He's in good health.
Besides, there's nothing warmer than going down with a bowl of dumplings.
"yes, I forgot about it, get out of the pot quickly, or it will be really rotten."
The three mothers plus Aunt Peng's grandchildren and grandchildren, the five of them ate a pot of dumplings.
"Mother is delicious, it's so fragrant." Xiuxiu and Zhengyang may have come back from a wave outside, hungry, and the first bite went down, and the two of them screamed.
"It's not that my mother is delicious, it's that the dumplings are delicious, slow down, be careful of scalding." Bai Jiu listened to the words of the two children, and no matter how he listened to them, he felt that something was wrong.
"Haha, you." Aunt Peng didn't react at first, but she was also happy when she heard Bai Jiu's words.
The corners of the patriotic mouth also hooked a smile.
When Aunt Peng and Aiguo went back, Bai Jiu also brought twenty of them back.
Aunt Peng didn't want it, but Bai Jiu put the dumplings directly into Aiguo's arms, and closed the door of the house after giving them to her.
I had no choice but to take the dumplings and grandchildren back home.
The aroma of dumplings on the side aroused the greed of the four people in the room not far next door.
"Old Wu, let's let that girl buy some food and come back." I really can't live this day.
Zhang Lao sniffed hard at the door.
The scent is so powerful.
"Alright, come back quickly, and don't be afraid of freezing." Seeing the virtue of her old man, Zhou Lan was not angry and pulled the person back.
Zhang Lao, who was pulled by his ear, was not angry, but he was a little greedy.
"Brother Wu, you say, is that girl credible?" Zhang Lao swallowed his saliva and asked.
There is something to do with Brother Wu, nothing to do with Old Wu.
Wu Lao gave him a roll of his eyes, "I'll ask next time she comes." "You can't always come and ask yourself.
If someone else looks at it, it will cause her trouble.
People have already helped them a lot.
I wore all those clothes on a few of them last night.
That's called a warmth.
Now I'm not afraid to go out anymore.
Late at night, Bai Jiu took fifty dumplings and knocked on the door next door.
The dumplings are cooked by her, and they can be eaten hot.
If you let them cook, once they are smelled, they are afraid that something will happen.
"Who?"
"It's me?"
Soon Bai Jiu entered the dilapidated house.
"I made some dumplings today, and it's not good to give them to you during the day, so you can get up and eat them hot now." They have to go out to work during the day, so they can't eat during the day.
Once you eat it, it will taste in your mouth, and it will be terrible to be found when you go to work.
"Thank you, girl." The four of them were shocked, but they owed a lot of debt, and they didn't know how to thank her.
I just hope that there will be a chance to give back one or two.
"No thanks, there's not much I can do to help you." Bai Jiu didn't say that he had to do anything on them, he just wanted to leave a few talents for the country.
She knows how important these devolved elders are to the future of the country.
After taking the dumplings, Wu Lao stopped Bai Jiu.
"Girl, we don't know how to thank you, you take these, if you have the chance, help us buy some food back."
Wu Lao took out a rag dumpling from the straw under his buttocks.
All of them were handed to Bai Jiu.
Bai Jiu is unknown, open it and take a look.
"I can't take this." There are a lot of tickets in addition to money.
The sum of this money would be hundreds, if not to say the least, but she couldn't take it.
"Take it, we can't use this thing, but don't worry, these are the way back, and my grandson sent it to me." Wu Lao was afraid that she was worried about where the money would come from, so he immediately opened his mouth to explain.
"It's not this, the old man has too much money." She had nothing to worry about.
I just think there's too much money in there.
"Not much, not much." Wu Lao waved his hand, "You also know our identity, even if we have more money in our hands, we can't afford to leave the village, let alone buy anything." ”
If it weren't for that, those who came before wouldn't have starved to death.
Bai Jiu sighed, "Okay, I'll try to help you prepare some food and buy two quilts for the winter." "She can only help some.
"No, no, just buy food, the quilt is enough for two beds, and you also bring a lot of clothes, we have enough." Wu Lao knew that this girl was kind-hearted, but he couldn't harm her just because she was kind-hearted.
That's enough.
"If you have the chance, it's best to help us get some medicine and come back, forget it if you don't have it."
I'm not young anymore, and what I'm most afraid of is getting sick.
It is better to have medicine for self-defense than myrrh.
"Okay." Bai Jiu was not polite and took the things away.
Speaking of medicine, she looked at Elder Li, "Is Grandpa Li's illness better?" "It's been a few days, and if it's not good, she'll have to give some more.
Li Gaoyi smiled and patted his chest, "Okay, don't cough, thank you so much, girl." "That medicine is really good, he coughed after drinking it the first night, but it will be a little uncomfortable.
But after drinking it for two days, he felt that he was cured.
Not only did I stop coughing, but even the heaviness I felt before was gone.
Although Bai Jiu didn't know what kind of disease he had, it seemed that now he was afraid that it was just a normal cold and cough, otherwise the medicine would not be so effective.
"It's good if you're cured, but you still have to take the medicine, and you can forget it after eating." She doesn't give much.
It's only a few days of medicine, and now three days have passed, at most two days, and the medicine is gone.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Zhou Lan was careful, and she also knew that the girl in front of her was not simple, so she asked out loud: "If you have something to do when you go out in the future, let the child go to our side, now it is getting colder and colder, and you don't need to go to the wasteland every day." ”
Especially when it snows heavily, the captain will not ask them to work.
"That's a good relationship, and I'll have to trouble a few people then." Bai Jiu was not polite to them.
Again, she had the intention of letting the children learn something from them.
Even if it didn't take long, the children could still learn a lot after two years.
