The people around him are dying one by one, and there are fewer and fewer people alive...... For him at that time, children were hope and the future!

God knows how much he loves kids now!

No, it's not just the child, now as long as a living person stands in front of him, he likes it!

Li Qingzhi's eyes seemed to burst into light, and he stretched out his thin arm, wanting to touch the child in front of him.

At this moment, he heard Li Laogen's voice coming from outside the door.

Li Laogen, an old bachelor who picked up a cheap son five years ago, said to Jin Xiaoye: "Xiaoye, I don't think A-Qing can be saved...... How about we do his funeral briefly? Anyway, everyone in the village knows that we don't have money, so there can be more eggs and food sent by the people in the village, and we can give Da Mao Ermao to eat, and I ......"

According to the custom of their village, when someone dies, relatives and friends will come to the door to deliver some eggs and food, and decent people will also send money, which are often used for funerals.

Li Qingzhi stretched out his hand to touch his child and paused.

Li Damao finally reacted at this time, pulled his younger brother and ran out: "Mother! Daddy is awake! ”

Chapter 3 Drink Pills

Jin Xiaoye heard his father-in-law mention Li Qingzhi's funeral, and he was angry.

Her father-in-law has always been unreliable, stealing and playing tricks when he is working, and gambling everywhere in his spare time.

But even so, she didn't expect that after Li Qingzhi came back, this person would stop her from spending money to hire a doctor to treat Li Qingzhi, and when Li Qingzhi was not dead, she was thinking about using Li Qingzhi's funeral to collect money.

The people in their village have to pay for funerals if they want to do it decently, but if they want to do it in a humble way...... The money and food sent by relatives and friends are not only spent.

Her father-in-law was thinking about this thing, it was too much!

Jin Xiaoye really wanted to say how affectionate he was to Li Qingzhi, but he didn't.

She liked Li Qingzhi at the beginning. Before getting married, she was very much looking forward to her married life, and when she first got married, she felt that Li Qingzhi was different from the village men she had met since she was a child, which made her like it.

But the two were married for only two months, and Li Qingzhi disappeared, after which she first had to go to the field with a big belly, and then gave birth to a child, and had to farm while taking the child......

After working so hard for several years, the idea she had for Li Qing in her early years was long gone!

She hasn't remarried for so many years, not because she thinks about Li Qingzhi, but because she just doesn't want to.

Li Qingzhi left her not much things, only two acres of land and two earthen houses, but it was enough for her to support herself and two children...... After she remarried, she may not be as good as she is now.

She was reluctant to be wronged.

But now Li Qingzhi is back...... Looking at Li Qingzhi's appearance, he knew that he disappeared before, and it should not have abandoned them, but encountered an accident.

Even so, Li Qingzhi is seriously ill, and she always has to find a way to save her.

Now that Li Qingzhi is not dead, they should not discuss his funeral in front of Li Qingzhi.

Jin Xiaoye interrupted Li Laogen's words: "Dad! What nonsense are you talking about! Xianggong is still alive! ”

At the same time, Li Damao dragged Li Ermao out of the house: "Mother, Dad is awake!" ”

When Jin Xiaoye heard this, he didn't care about talking to Li Laogen, so he ran into the house, and sure enough, he saw that Li Qingzhi, who was lying on the bed, had opened his eyes, and his eyes were still very clear.

Although Li Qingzhi was a homeless person when he first came to their village, he was handsome and white-skinned, and he was the best-looking man in their village, but now he ......

Li Qingzhi's face was blue and black, so thin that his cheeks were sunken, and he looked like he was dying.

Jin Xiaoye was distressed for a while: "Are you awake?" ”

When Jin Xiaoye looked at Li Qingzhi, Li Qingzhi was also looking at Jin Xiaoye.

Jin Xiaoye's appearance has not changed much compared with five years ago, that is, the whole person looks fiercer than five years ago, and his voice is much louder.

The original owner didn't want to be eye-catching, and when he chose Jin Xiaoye, it was naturally not because Jin Xiaoye was beautiful.

Jin Xiaoye is less than one meter six meters tall, and her eyes are very good-looking, but she has dark skin and a big face, plus she has not cleaned up, she is actually an ordinary village woman.

But it's personal! It's a living person!

This is still his wife! His partner!

God knows that Li Qingzhi has lived alone for many years in the last days, how much he wishes to have someone to be his companion!

Li Qing stared at Jin Xiaoye blankly, and his heart beat faster and faster because of excitement.

This face fell in Jin Xiaoye's eyes, and it was Li Qingzhi who looked at her affectionately.

Jin Xiaoye, who has been in charge of the house for the past few years, and has a much more spicy temperament, suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "How do you feel?" Are there any good points? ”

Li Qingzhi didn't speak, and Jin Xiaoye looked at the child at his feet again: "Da Mao Ermao, your father's medicine is ready, you go and bring the medicine back!" ”

After speaking, Jin Xiaoye came to Li Qingzhi's side, reached out to touch Li Qingzhi's head, and saw if Li Qingzhi had subsided fever, and said a lot of words in his mouth: "Ah Qing, did you see those two children?" I gave birth to you, where have you been all these years? Why haven't you ever come back? And make yourself like this? ”

When Li Qingzhi's hand touched Jin Xiaoye's hand, he only felt the blood in his whole body gushing up to his head.

It's been a long, long time since anyone has touched him!

He wished that Jin Xiaoye had been touching his head, but unfortunately Jin Xiaoye quickly withdrew his hand.

Li Qingzhi glanced at the hand in disbelief, and said with difficulty: "I...... I was caught digging for stones...... Dig ...... It's been a few years, and it's only ...... before escaping. ”

His voice was hoarse, and although he had only spoken a short sentence, it seemed that he had used all his strength.

"So you were caught digging for stones, why were you so careless." Li Laogen came in from outside.

Li Laogen was actually not yet fifty years old, but he looked similar to an old man in his seventies before the end of the world, his teeth were about to fall out, his hair was gray, and his face was full of wrinkles.

Although he is a man, Li Laogen is only 1.5 meters tall, maybe less than a little, he looks thin and small, his face is also pointed, and he looks like a roe deer.

Not only that, but what he said was also speechless - Li Qingzhi suffered a big crime, and he also blamed Li Qingzhi for not being careful enough.

But even so, seeing him, Li Qingzhi was still close.

It's a living man! He won't pounce on him like a zombie and bite his living people!

He's lying here now,

Li Laogen will not come to kill him, let alone want to eat him, how good!

His heart was full of security, and Li Qing called out with a smile: "Dad." ”

Although it is not a relative, the original owner did recognize Li Laogen as his father.

Li Laogen was called Dad, thinking of what he said not long ago, he was a little embarrassed, and laughed dryly: "It's good if you escape, it's good if you escape." ”

"Dad, aren't you going to go to the ground? Why don't you go yet? Jin Xiaoye said to Li Laogen, she was afraid that Li Laogen would stay here and say something unpleasant.

"On such a hot day, when did I say I was going to go to the ground?" Li Laogen muttered, and then met Jin Xiaoye's unkind gaze.

He didn't say a word, and ran away.

It was at this time that Li Damao came in with a clay pot.

He should have been afraid that the clay pot would accidentally fall, so he walked very carefully, and with that serious look, he saw that Li Qing's persistence was about to melt.

What about Li Ermao? He followed his brother step by step, and if his brother walked slower, he looked more worried than his brother.

These two kids are so cute too!

He has two such adorable children!

Jin Xiaoye didn't have so many thoughts from Li Qingzhi, she stepped forward to take the clay pot and brought it to Li Qingzhi: "Come, take medicine, wait for the medicine, you will be fine." ”

As he spoke, Jin Xiaoye sat on the edge of the bed, helped the skinny Li Qingzhi up, and let Li Qingzhi lean on her and drink the medicine.

It's summer, and the weather is very hot, so Jin Xiaoye is only wearing a single coat.

Li Qingzhi leaned on her, and could feel the heat coming from her.

The warm body of the human made him tremble uncontrollably.

He was so happy!

Wait for Jin Xiaoye to hold the clay pot in his hand and hand the clay pot to his mouth...... Li Qingzhi stretched out his hand to cover Jin Xiaoye's hand and pinched it.

Jin Xiaoye's hands are very rough, but this is a living person's hand, and this person is still his daughter-in-law!

Li Qingzhi was in a stirring mood and pinched it a few more times.

Jin Xiaoye coughed lightly: "Take the medicine quickly!" "Li Qingzhi, what's going on? When she became so sick, she was still thinking about taking advantage of her!

The clay pot was blackened by the fire, and the medicine in the clay pot was also black, giving off a foul smell.

But this is not poisonous!

In the last twenty years, what has Li Qingzhi not eaten? But whatever can be eaten, he can swallow!

And...... He hadn't eaten in a long time!

With longing in his eyes, Li Qing couldn't wait to drink it after Jin Xiaoye put the clay pot to his mouth.

The taste of the medicine was not very good, but there was no pollution in it, and Li Qingzhi drank it to his heart's content.

Li Damao and Li Ermao were in admiration.

Although they are young, they also know that the medicine is difficult to drink, and as a result, their father drank such a difficult medicine without changing his face!

And more than drink...... There is a medicine residue under the clay pot, and when Jin Xiaoye fed Li Qingzhi medicine, Li Qingzhi tasted a little bit and chewed it.

Li Damao and Li Ermao looked shocked.

Jin Xiaoye was stunned, and hurriedly moved the clay pot away: "The medicine residue can't be eaten, and this medicine residue has to be fried again!" ”

Half of the people in Miaoqian Village are surnamed Jin, and the life of Jin Xiaoye's family in the village is considered to be above average.

But the upper-average life can only fill Jin Xiaoye's stomach.

Jin Xiaoye's father is a farmer who works in the field, and her family is the most promising, that is, her uncle who works as a partner in the local army and can earn two times a month.

When Jin Xiaoye got married, her grandmother who was in charge didn't give her a single copper coin!

Li Qingzhi left her some money before she disappeared, but it was only more than 400 yuan.

Their family has a total of two acres of land, but there are four people in the family, and they will have enough to eat, and she has to figure out some ways to make money, so she can barely save four dollars.

I asked the doctor to buy medicine before, and it took a total of six times, two of which were borrowed by Jin Xiaoye.

Now that Jin Xiaoye is penniless, he can't afford to hire a doctor, so he can only think of using the medicine he bought before to the extreme, for example, after the medicine has been decocted once, he will add water and fry it several times to continue drinking.

After putting away the clay pot, Jin Xiaoye said again: "I'll go get you something to eat!" ”
