At the beginning of the year of famine, the lucky girl of the farm family used cheats to support the

The winter sun is not warm. Instead, the sunnier it gets, the colder it gets.

The vast plain was densely packed with people, all of them were in tattered clothes, bent over and working hard, with faces so dirty that it was impossible to tell who was who.

They all wielded their pickaxes and shovels with all their might, and if they were not careful, they might get whipped.

Chongming said angrily: "What are they doing? Why are they beating people?"

Zhang Ercui sighed, "I'm afraid people will be lazy. You haven't seen it before, but military service is like this. We're not here to enjoy ourselves..."

Fubao's eyes quickly searched for his father's figure, and finally found the tall and burly figure among the people bending over to work.

Before he could get close, the bailiffs came over to drive him away: "Hey, hey, hey. Go away! Don't you know where this place is?"

Zhang Ercui smiled apologetically: "Sir, we are here to send something to our family."

Then he gave the yamen runner a hundred coins and said, "It's just a small token of my appreciation. Please have a drink."

The yamen runner shook the copper coins in his hand, and his expression became more relaxed: "Who are you looking for? I'll call someone for you."

Zhang Ercui: "Li Darong and Li Shuangrong."

The bailiff put down the whip in his hand, turned around and shouted, "Li Darong, Li Shuangrong, come here."

Soon, two men with faces and bodies covered in black ash put down their tools and walked over quickly. After approaching, they looked at the three people in surprise: "Why are you here!"

Fubao's eyes were filled with tears at some point, and he looked at the tall man with tears in his eyes: "Dad! Wuuuuuuuuuuu——"

Li Shuangrong quickly rubbed his hands behind his pants and said helplessly, "Don't cry, Fubao. Isn't Daddy fine?"

Fu Bao looked around, and he was not well at all. Not only was he dirty, but his hands were also covered in deep cuts. He had only been walking for six days, but he had already lost a lot of weight.

Li Darong: "We are doing fine. We just work and eat every day. There is nothing much to do."

Zhang Ercui's usual sharp tongue was no longer hard, and her heartache was beyond words: "He has become darker and thinner."

Chongming: "Dad, Uncle, where do you live? I brought some dry food for you two."

Li Shuangrong: "I'll tell him and take you there."

As he said this, he trotted over to report to the manager. The man took a hundred coins from Zhang Ercui, turned a blind eye and agreed.

Fubao ignored the dirt all over his father's body and insisted on getting into his arms: "Dad, I miss you so much."

Li Shuangrong's heart melted. He finally understood the difference between a daughter and a son.

The residence was not far from the construction site, less than a mile away, and the group walked in the cold wind, taking deep and shallow steps.

Li Darong looked at the backpack on Chongming's shoulder and was about to take it.

Chongming dodged and said, "Father, I can carry you. You should take a rest."

Li Darong: "Okay, my son has grown up and become sensible."

As they were talking, a house that was not really an adobe house came into view. It had six large rooms, and not a single one was drafty.

Li Shuangrong: "It's a bit messy in there, why don't you give me the things and I'll put them in..."

Fubao said stubbornly, "I want to go in." Then, fearing that Li Shuangrong would not agree, he said softly, "I feel a little cold."

Li Shuangrong stopped talking and quickly carried her into the house. Zhang Ercui and Li Chongming followed her into the dark thatched house.

As soon as they entered the room, Fubao knew why Li Shuangrong hesitated and didn't let them in.

There was no fire in the house, the holes in the roof were patched up with straw, the windows were leaking a lot, and each person's bed was less than half a meter wide...

This time, even Li Chongming couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.

Fubao was carried by his father to the kang and wrapped tightly with a thick quilt, leaving only his head exposed.

Li Shuangrong: "It's not cold now, is it?"

Zhang Ercui said distressedly: "How can people live here?"

Li Darong: "You brought us such thick quilts, which kept us warm! Others were too cold to fall asleep at night, but we two slept soundly."

As he said this, he showed a simple smile.

Fubao: "Dad, can we not live here..."

Li Shuangrong: "Our home is too far away. Dad has to go to work every day, otherwise he won't be able to catch up."

Zhang Ercui: "Then can those from the village go back?"

Li Shuangrong: "Some people do go home to live, but they are all very close. We have to get there in 15 minutes. If we go to places far away, we will not be able to make it in time."

Fubao fell into deep thought. This room was drafty on all sides, the kang was not heated, and there was no charcoal basin. It would be better to set up a tent than sleep here.

Zhang Ercui took out six steamed buns, a can of pickled vegetables and a can of diced pork with sauce from her backpack and handed them to them.

Li Shuangrong: "Why did you take so much again? I haven't finished the last one yet."

Zhang Ercui: "What do you eat every day on the construction site?"

Li Shuangrong and Li Darong both froze and said unnaturally: "What else can we eat? Just eat whatever you want."

Fubao: "Can you eat enough?"

Li Shuangrong: "Oh! The construction site is not like home, as long as there is something to eat, it's fine. We always come back and cook for ourselves, and others are jealous."

Li Darong: "The grain allocated by the court has arrived, and now every household has some. Most people brought food with them from home. In fact, they are not full, but it is better than nothing."

Fu Bao finally couldn't hold it in any longer: "No, I can't live here anymore. I'll get sick!"

Li Shuangrong was helpless: "Fubao, be obedient and go back with your aunt in a while. Dad still has to go to work."

Fubao: "Live in a tent!"

Li Shuangrong smiled and said, "Where did the tent come from? Fubao, stop making trouble."

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Fubao quickly found the big tent he had bought for camping in the past. But after looking at it, he found it too conspicuous, so he took out an outdoor engineering tent that he didn't know when he bought it.

The thick tent has a very good thermal insulation effect. Even in winter, you don’t have to worry about the cold and there is still plenty of space.

This big guy suddenly appeared and scared several people before it even opened.

Li Shuangrong: "What is this?"

He has never seen this thing in his life.

Fubao: "Tent."

Li Shuangrong: "Can this thing accommodate two people?"

Fubao took it back to the space: "Find a place and set it up."

The two who were hesitant at first were dragged out by Zhang Ercui: "What do you mean! The little girl has already taken it out, what's wrong with trying it? It won't cost you a piece of meat!"

After they walked away a little, Fubao let it out again and it was already fully grown.

Li Shuangrong: "Ah! This... is this a tent? It looks more spacious than my home."

Li Darong: "Wow! It's really warm. What is this?" He walked to the transparent window and said, "How come I can see outside through this cloth?"

Fubao looked at the two people who kept exclaiming in amazement and said, "Live here."

Li Shuangrong: "I don't know if the person in charge will agree..."

Zhang Ercui immediately responded: "Don't worry about it, I'll go and talk to you."

In less than half an hour, Zhang Ercui had dealt with the yamen runners and successfully got the two of them to live in the spacious tent.

Fu Bao looked at the empty tent, and took out two wooden beds, a cabinet, a small wooden table and two small chairs from the space: "This is for you to stay."

Li Shuangrong: “What is this?”

Fubao: "My grandpa made several of them!" When the old man lived in the wooden house, he would do cotton wool and carpentry work every day. This bed and cabinet were made at that time.

Fu Bao looked at the surprised eyes around him and said innocently: "I'm not a monster..."

Li Shuangrong frowned: "You are the lucky star of our family!"

Although Zhang Ercui was shocked, she quickly reacted and smiled: "Good luck, you really helped a lot!"

Only then did Fubao feel relieved.

The location chosen by the two Li brothers was close to the construction site and not easily seen, with a high earthen wall in front.

But to be on the safe side, they still brought a lot of straw and placed it around the outside of the tent, which would keep the tent warm and not be too conspicuous.

After dawdling for an entire afternoon, they quietly left. When they left, Li Darong said, "It's been a long time since I had a hot meal. Next time, I'll see if you can bring some hot soup..."

Zhang Ercui said that he was troublesome, but she actually kept it in mind.

In a few days, we would go to deliver meals to them again. Fubao once again lay in his aunt's backpack and went to the construction site together.

This time, there are some new situations...
