My parents are both dead, I rely on fishing and farming to support my younger siblings

Four or five more chickens and ducks in the basket died.

Gu Lili quickly took out the dead chickens and ducks, and bought a few live ones from the mall and replaced them.

When Gu Lili turned around with the dead chickens and ducks in her hands, she was met with a pair of shiny black eyes, which frightened her again.

Big Black was seen wagging his tail and looking at Gu Lili with an innocent expression.

Gu Lili touched Da Laohei's head guiltily. Fortunately, Da Laohei couldn't speak, otherwise, he would definitely ask questions like Gu Erniu.

The dead chickens and ducks in hand could not be given to Da Laohei to eat, so Gu Lili thought about it and bought a piece of meat for pets from the mall and put it into Da Laohei's mouth as a bribe to it to keep the secret.

Big Black licked Gu Lili's hand, then took the strip of meat from her hand, crawled down, and started to chew it.

Gu Lili quickly processed the chickens and ducks, and returned to the kitchen to boil water.

It doesn't take much water to make the medicine, so it can be boiled quickly.

Gu Lili made four bowls of medicine, drank one bowl herself first, and then passed it to the other three.

After finishing everything, Gu Lili was already drowsy, but her three younger brothers and sisters had not yet recovered from their fever, so Gu Lili did not dare to sleep.

At this time, Gu Lili felt as if she was getting cold. She looked at her sleeping brothers and sisters and decided to change the filling in the quilt.

Gu Lili originally wanted to buy a cotton quilt, but there was no way a quilt of cotton could be stuffed into their quilt.

Their quilt was sewn shut, so Gu Lili bought some duck down.

The duck down costs seventy cents per pound, and Gu Lili bought five pounds in total.

She cut a hole in the quilt with scissors, bought the duck down directly inside, and then patted the duck down evenly before sewing the quilt.

After sewing the quilt, Gu Lili touched the foreheads of the three people and found that their fevers had subsided, so she felt relieved.

Lying on the bed, Gu Lili felt cold all over and her muscles were very sore. She quickly drank some ibuprofen and then fell asleep.

I don’t know if it was because of the change of quilt or the medicine she took, but Gu Lili slept until dawn.

When she woke up, the other three also woke up.

"Erniu, Huanhuan, Sigou, are you feeling unwell?" Gu Lili asked.

The three of them shook their heads in confusion. They were all delirious due to fever last night and had no idea they had a fever.

Gu Sigou said, "I don't feel uncomfortable, but I seemed to have dreamed of my mother last night. She fed me sugar water to drink. The sweet taste seemed to be real."

After listening to what Gu Sigou said, Gu Erniu felt that he seemed to have had the same dream last night.

Gu Huanhuan also said, "I had the same dream! Maybe it's because our mother has come back to see us. Sister, have you had the same dream?"

Gu Lili had a frown on her face, but when the children mentioned Li Xihua, they were obviously very happy, so Gu Lili didn't want to spoil their fun.

"I had such a dream too. It's so magical." Gu Lili said with a smile.

The three of them were very happy when they heard this.

They all believed that it was Li Xihua who came to see them last night.

Gu Lili looked at the three of them happily and she felt happy from the bottom of her heart.

Gu Lili walked to the backpack and looked at the chickens and ducks. Fortunately, there were no casualties.

It’s just that the chickens and ducks I bought from the mall yesterday seemed to be bigger.

However, the three children didn't notice it, so Gu Lili didn't mention it again.

Gu Lili watched Gu Erniu filter the water from the wheat soaked last night, and then she called Gu Huanhuan to make breakfast together.

Gu Sigou chopped up the wild vegetables he picked yesterday and fed them to the chickens and ducks.

Gu Lili looked at the sky outside and it was still raining.

I don’t know when the rain will stop. It seems I can’t go out today.

Gu Lili made minced meat porridge today. When the weather is cold, drinking some soup can keep the body warm.

The meat I bought that day had been stored for quite a long time. Fortunately, the weather was not hot, otherwise it would have gone bad long ago.

However, today, we have to finish eating the meat no matter what.

Otherwise, it will no longer be fresh.

Gu Lili skillfully put the white rice into the pot, added water and started boiling.

Then she took the meat and chopped it up. During the process, she also quietly added some ginger and green onions.

Gu Lili took out a fish that had been dried a few days ago and planned to fry another fish to go with the porridge.

Seeing that the rice in the pot was almost cooked, Gu Lili put all the chopped meat into the pot.

When the water in the pot boiled again, the aroma of meat and rice wafted out from their kitchen.

After the porridge was cooked, Gu Lili started to fry the fish.

The oil used to fry the fish is lard. Gu Lili fried the fish until both sides were golden brown, and it looked very delicious.

After the fish was fried, Gu Lili called her third brother and his wife to eat.

Maybe it was because he dreamed of Li Xihua, or maybe it was because the food cooked by Gu Lili was so delicious.

The three children who lost their chicks and ducklings yesterday are in a much better mood.

However, Gu Lili couldn't quite smile.

If this freezing rain really doesn't stop, their little house might really be crushed.

Although the money Gu Lili had was enough to build a house, she couldn't show it openly.

Gu Lili sighed and continued eating.

After dinner, Gu Lili checked the malt that Gu Erniu had covered.

"Erniu, next time you cover it, spread it more evenly so that it will sprout more easily." Gu Lili patiently taught Gu Erniu while spreading the wheat flat.

Gu Erniu also took note of it carefully and followed Gu Lili to spread the wheat.

The rain kept falling and there was no way to go out, so Gu Lili called Gu Huanhuan to help her make clothes and shoes.

Gu Erniu took Gu Sigou with him to repair the benches and other things at home.

The rain continued until the evening and there was no sign of stopping.

Fortunately, Gu Lili's little house showed no signs of collapsing.

Gu Lili couldn't help but sigh, how great it is to live another day.

On this day, Gu Lili cut out the uppers and soles of the shoes that the four of them would wear.

Gu Huanhuan also glued them together with paste and was just waiting to continue sewing them tomorrow after they were dry.

When it was time to go to bed at night, the children realized belatedly that their beds seemed to be much warmer than usual.

Several people were sleeping soundly when Big Black suddenly started barking "Woof woof woof".

Gu Lili heard Da Laohei's cry and immediately sat up from the bed.

She looked around and saw that none of the three seemed to be awake, so she quickly took out the flashlight she had bought last night and shone it towards Big Black.

Seeing that Big Black was staring at the roof and shouting, Gu Lili quickly shone the flashlight towards the roof.

Seeing this, Gu Lili was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat.

"Erniu, Huanhuan, Sigou, hurry up and get up!"
