Chapter 20: It turns out that this is called Qiang Tao

It was very light, with a thin little arm around her neck, and a big head.

Jing Tian suddenly remembered the image of "Little Radish Head" in the movie he had watched before. I'm afraid this child is seriously malnourished!

Look at Sister Ran again, she is also as thin as a small bamboo pole, and her body is slender.

Maybe it was because they witnessed the death of their mother, so that they met death so close at an age that should be full of innocent fun. Jing Tian's three younger siblings are all well-behaved and sensible.

Every time Jing Tian thinks of this, he feels very sorry for these little guys.

However, this kind of growth after experiencing trauma also aroused the awe of life in these children, and they know how to cherish time and life at all times. The earlier you are sensible, the more you can bear the pressure of life.

After knowing how close to death is, people often grow up from the bottom of their bones.

is like Brother Zi'er and Sister Ran, children who are only nine and a half years old, but they have already begun to shoulder the burden of life early. Take care of the stupid sister and young brother, and trade the labor they can for the family's rations.

And the children of their age are either running all over the ground at the head of the village, or nesting in their parents' arms to be cute and cute.

The aunt's house is also a brick house. Just looking at the house, it is also the level of the middle family in the village.

Two large main rooms with two large windows facing south. There is a hall in the middle, and there are two doors in front and back. In the hall, four small doors were opened on the east and west sides, making a total of six rooms.

The two large houses on the south side are living rooms, and they are all made of earthen kang according to the south window. The east house is where the aunt's mother-in-law, Jing, lives, and the west house is where the aunt and uncle and their youngest daughter Li Yi'er live.

There are two rooms in the north, the kitchen in the east, and the four children of the aunt's family live in the west. The eldest is called Li An, who is 14 years old this year, and Li Feng, who is six and a half years old.

There are small houses in the front yard, with sundries and farm tools on the east side, and a dilapidated cowshed and chicken pen on the west side. The cowshed was empty, and the original cattle were sold for the eldest uncle's medical treatment.

There are only four or five old hens in the chicken pen, and they keep the eggs and sell them for some living money, but they are reluctant to eat at home.

Look at this yard too! It must have been made to make money before the eldest uncle was injured.

The house is also very good from the outside, but the eldest aunt watched it closely, and she and Xiaode'er were not allowed to go in.

As soon as he thought of this stubble, Jing Tian had a fire in his stomach.

If the father is not at home, no matter how weak the mother is, she can give a few children a shelter.

But when the mother went, the four of them couldn't even live in their own home. The Wang family actually asked the uncle to lead people to build a small thatched house outside the courtyard wall, so that the four of them could live there.

"Uncle, how is your body today?" Jing Tian entered the house and greeted Li Shushan, who was sitting on the kang.

The eldest uncle Li Shushan was originally a good hunting partner with Jing Tian's father, but he broke his leg when he went into the mountains to hunt the winter before last, and he has been lying on the kang and can't get on the ground. The man, who was originally as strong as a cow, was so thin that he shrank a circle at this time, leaning on the quilt, unable to cheer up.

For a villager, nothing can be injured. Especially an injury like a broken leg, like a bottomless pit, quickly dragged down the original solid life of the aunt's family. The burden of supporting a family of eight mouths is on the shoulders of a thin woman like my aunt.

"What else can I do, I'll make do with it!" Li Shushan looked at Jing Tian with a smile, and heard his brother say that Tian is okay and sober, and this speech is really very different from before.

"Uncle, don't say that, my mother said that this person can't lose his spirit without anything. Your leg can always be healed. ”

Jing Tian said this, but it was not entirely comforting, because she had the impression that Li Shushan should have only broken his leg bone at that time, and if there were good medical conditions, he should not be unable to stand up.

"Me! I don't expect to cure my legs. It's just bitter for your aunt! The man leaning on the kang looked lonely.

"Uncle, it's okay! You're bored, and you're so little that you can play with you. Xiao De'er, who was held in Jing Tian's arms, spoke. Hehe! The little guy never forgets to brush up on his presence!

"Daddy, Xiao Wu also plays with Daddy." Xiao Wu, who was playing with thatch in the kang, was waiting when he heard that his brother was coming. Not to be outdone, he threw himself into his father's arms.

"Yikes! What's wrong with little Del's legs? ”

"Uncle, I just wanted you to show it! It should have been a slippery fall. Jing Tian didn't mention the dispute just now, and Sister Ran didn't speak.

"Huh? No wonder she was picked up by Tian Yatou, let my uncle take a look. Li Shushan hurriedly and carefully hugged Xiao De'er to his lap.

Holding his little body with one hand and holding Xiao De'er's ankle with the other, he gently moved back and forth, asking Xiao De'er how he felt.

"The muscles and bones are fine, they are all skin injuries. It's going to hurt a little, and we're so young that we're going to suffer. ”

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, brother, Xiao Wu will give you a call." Xiao Wu is more than a month younger than Xiao De'er, and he is lying next to Xiao De'er. Hearing that his leg hurt, he enthusiastically stepped forward and exhaled, and there were words in his mouth.

Everyone was amused by her small appearance.

Only Xiao De'er said seriously, "No! No! I'm a man! I'm not afraid of pain! You little girls are just whirring! ”

Hahahaha! When everyone heard this, they immediately laughed even more happily.

"Say what? So happy. When my brother heard the commotion, he also entered the Westinghouse.

"I'm helping to light the fire, and you can hear your laughter in the stove!" My brother is also smiling.

Sometimes, happiness is as simple as that. A smile contags two, two with a group.

"It just so happens that my brother, Xiao De'er fell today, you go to your aunt to cook a handkerchief, get some gold sore medicine, and then go to the front yard to get a cloth belt to dry."

The eldest uncle, Li Shushan, used to go hunting with Jing Tian and their father Jing Duo, and often suffered some skin injuries.

Jingduo's daughter-in-law, Erhuanniang, knew a little about medicine, and not only taught them how to treat their wounds urgently, but also taught them to recognize several common herbs in the mountains.

Yesterday, Jing Tian and Chen Liang's wounds were bandaged by their aunt.

When the smiling brother heard that Xiao De'er was injured, he immediately looked nervous.

"Hey, I'll go!" After saying that, he pedaled and ran.

Jing Tian didn't plan to tell his brother about Wangcai's bullying of Sister Ran and Xiao De'er.

He had already fought a lot of fights about it before, and the layers of abrasions and bruises on his body had never faded. Although his brother is thin, he has a ruthless spirit, so as to provide some small protection for his sister and brother.

Soon, my brother brought a basin of hot water, soaked in the boiled veil. He placed the basin on the edge of the kang. Then he went back and took the gold sore medicine and the bandage of the bandage.

In the house, Sister Ran helped her eldest uncle dry the handkerchief and debride the little girl. Then apply gold sore medicine and bandage it properly.

Seeing that Xiao Da'er was fine, Jing Tian said, "There is a green round fruit in the forest next to the pond, do you know? ”

Jing Tian gestured while talking, and his brother quickly said, "Big sister is talking about Qiang Tao!" There is a large Qiang peach forest by the pond, which is now all over the ground. ”

It turns out that here, the walnut is called Qiang peach!
