Chapter 5 Best Loved One
The father and mother died, and the eldest of the three children left behind was only ten years old, and instantly became fat in the eyes of those who cared.
As soon as the eldest girl was sent, the eldest aunt and the second aunt took the state's pension for the orphans of the martyrs on the grounds of taking care of her newborn nephew Xiaozhuang.
In the name of letting her grandson and granddaughter eat at home, the eldest girl's grandmother emptied the rations of the eldest girl's family.
If it weren't for the fact that the eldest girl was still clever, she asked someone to find the captain of the Changbai Brigade to come over, and I was afraid that even her own house would be occupied by the second uncle's family.
But although the house was preserved, the valuable furniture in the house was borrowed by her grandmother and second aunt in various names, and it was returned indefinitely.
Then, in less than a month, the eldest grandmother began to scold her behind her grandfather's back for losing money, scolded her younger brother Da Zhuang for not working, and scolded Xiao Zhuang for being a sick seedling.
In order to let her younger brother have enough to eat, the eldest girl secretly dropped out of school without telling her grandfather, went to the field to hunt pigweed and pick wild vegetables, and in two months, she became dark and thin and timid from a pampered little girl.
But her grandfather listened to her grandmother's words, and only reprimanded this granddaughter from time to time.
But where does the eldest girl dare to tell the truth, if she does less, grandma will make Da Zhuang hungry, if she shows up when the captain of the Changbai Brigade comes to the door, the second aunt will abuse Xiao Zhuang when she goes back.
She didn't dare not do it, nor did she dare to tell anyone, but she was only a ten-year-old girl, and she was aggrieved and afraid, coupled with malnutrition, she fainted from heat stroke while playing pigweed, and never woke up.
The little girl was still thinking about her younger siblings until she died, which was the only warmth her parents left her.
At the end of the memory, the little girl was thinking of a piece of white sugar cake, which was left to her by her grandfather who had not passed away when she was a child.
"When I see my grandfather, I will never deliberately drop the sugar cake on the ground again. ”
The memory came to an abrupt end here, and Yun Shu, who had always been heartless, was already in tears.
Where are these relatives, such relatives are simply more terrible than enemies.
And the reason why the eldest girl and her mother were born prematurely was because the second aunt was babbling and even a little gloating and told her mother the news of the eldest girl's father's sacrifice.
The eldest girl's premature birth really scared her second aunt, and she also gave birth prematurely, but she was seven months old and gave birth to a daughter.
But if it weren't for the partiality of the eldest girl's grandmother and let the only midwife in the village deliver her second aunt first, how could the eldest girl's mother bleed to death, this is simply a revenge for killing her mother!
Yun Shu's eyes turned red unconsciously, but the red lotus karmic fire in the sea of knowledge suddenly flourished, which made Yun Shu's spirit ache, and then he came to his senses.
Then she was instantly scared out of a cold sweat, good fellow, almost fell into the devil again.
Yun Shu got up, looked at the thin and small black hands, and smiled bitterly, if it was before, Yun Shu really wanted to die back, she was obviously here to support the elderly, but with the memory of the big girl, she really couldn't bear it.
If she really died, Yun Shu doubted that the remaining two younger brothers, Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang, would be able to grow up healthy!
Since you don't want to die, you need to think long-term, and now in 1964, it is not far from the beginning of the Cultural Revolution, and now there is even a faint spearhead.
So to live well with her two younger brothers, she is worthy of the body that the little girl left her.
......
Yun Shu was thinking about something, the curtain of the door of the room was lifted all of a sudden, and a thin black boy walked in cautiously with a bowl.
When he saw that Yun Shu was awake, the light in his eyes was brighter than starlight, so he hurriedly put down the bowl, threw himself on Yun Shu and cried and laughed: "Sister, you finally woke up, you have been asleep for two days." ”
Yun Shu subconsciously touched her stomach, no wonder she was so hungry, she pushed the little boy, "Da Zhuang, sister is awake, let's give my sister some water first." ”
Yun Shu was from Hebei in his last life, and he could speak Northeast dialect, but it was not authentic, fortunately, he was still young, and his sister was excited when she woke up, so she didn't pay attention to these side details.
Da Zhuang heard his sister say that he was thirsty, so he quickly picked up the bowl on the edge of the kang, "Sister, drink this, this is given by Master Wang, it can relieve the heat." ”
Wang Ye is a barefoot doctor in the village, and there is a health center in the town, but it is too far away.
And Yang Ye not only treats people, but also acts as a veterinarian, and is very famous in a radius of hundreds of miles.
The eldest girl overheard her grandfather say a few words in her memory, saying that Wang Ye was also a party figure before, but the world was not good, and he was ruined by others, so he came to the mountains and forests alone to retreat, and he has been in Qingxigou for ten years.
Now 60 years old, it is younger than 50 years old, and it is not difficult to go up the mountain to collect medicine.
At the beginning, if it wasn't for Wang Ye before entering the mountain, he specially gave the eldest girl a piece of ginseng for later use, and the eldest girl happened to know where it was, I am afraid that her mother would not have the strength to give birth to Xiaozhuang, and if she didn't get it, she would have two lives.
This favor is so comfortable that I have to take note of it.
It's a pity that when the eldest girl was born prematurely, Wang Ye went into the mountain to collect medicine, and when he was found, the body of the eldest girl was cold.
This made Wang Ye regretful, but who would have thought that the eldest and second aunts would be so vicious.
When the eldest girl drank the soup, Da Zhuang took out a piece of bread from his arms, but the size of two babies was white.
There is not much land in the mountain village that can grow crops, and wheat and rice are even less in this area, and the main crops in the village are corn, soybeans, sorghum, millet, potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Moreover, after the food is delivered to the state, it is only enough for the villagers to starve to death, and on weekdays, the village relies on collecting mountain goods and hunting in exchange for daily necessities.
In this small mountain village, this white-floured pancake is so precious that Yun Shu can't imagine it.
If it was in the past, there was no shortage of these things in the eldest girl's house, but now, the sister and brother have been beaten since their mothers are gone, and they haven't seen fine grains for three months.
"This is also given by Wang Ye, I don't want it, but Wang Ye said that my sister has to eat something good. ”
Da Zhuang was a child after all, smelling the fragrance of the dough cake and secretly swallowing his saliva.
And Yun Shu looked at the cold cake, and then looked at Da Zhuang, and he was sad.
"Have you eaten at your grandfather's house at noon?"
Da Zhuang just wanted to nod, but he saw his sister looking at him sternly, so he had to tell the truth.
"My sister-in-law is back, and the grandmother is killing chickens today. The second aunt who got up early sent two nests and a handful of cornmeal, saying that the family had been busy in the past two days, and my sister was asleep again, so I didn't go over to eat. Grandpa secretly sent two eggs just now. ”
Then Da Zhuang said angrily: "What is delicious about chicken, I am not hungry!"
Yun Shu broke most of the dough cake and gave it to his younger brother, "Eat, let's not be greedy, when my sister is ready, I will also give Dazhuang stewed chicken to eat." "Guarding the mountains and forests can still make people starve to death!
From the memory of the eldest girl, Yun Shu learned that there were fierce beasts in the mountains, and the mountain people never dared to go to the mountains when they organized hunting.
There were three years of famine, and some people went into the mountains to fight, but they went to several villages and went to fifty or sixty strong men, and they could count them on five fingers when they came back.
Wolves and wild boars are not unusual, blind bears, Siberian tigers, large pythons the size of buckets, and many unknown poisonous insects.
Changbai Mountain is also an old forest in the deep mountains after fifty or sixty years, and has not been completely developed.
But Yun Shu is not even afraid of ghosts, will he be afraid of these living creatures? What's more, the Red Lotus Karma Fire can even burn ghosts to ashes, and these fierce beasts will definitely deliver food and meals when they meet Yun Shu.
