This sweetness is a rare thing in their time.

To be precise, it is something that is hard to come by for people at the bottom of society like them.

"This porridge is delicious, and the fish and vegetables are cooked so well! Lili, you are really amazing!" The village head couldn't help but praise Gu Lili.

Gu Lili smiled and said, "If it tastes good, everyone should eat more!"

Every dish Gu Lili prepared today was in large portions, so it was definitely enough.

Gu Erniu and his two siblings ate voraciously, which stimulated everyone's appetite.

All the rice cooked by Gu Lili was eaten up.

After the meal, the people who came to help felt a little embarrassed. They all felt that they had done nothing this morning and just ate so much food at Gu Lili's house. They felt embarrassed.

They all went out to work hurriedly. Gu Lili handed the bowl to Gu Huanhuan to wash, and then they went out together to help.

The village head took into consideration the gender differences among the four siblings and specially built two shacks for them.

Because they were worried that Gu Lili would have to go cook, everyone worked as hard as they could to finish the build before lunch.

Gu Huanhuan cleaned up the dishes and came to work.

Some children held straw, some held branches, and some pulled the straw rope.

In less than two hours, the two shacks were almost built, and all that was left was to make a place to sleep.

Looking at the two shacks that had been built, the head of the village smiled with satisfaction and said, "Li Li, we will go back first. You two can clean up the rest."

The village head hadn't built a shack for many years, but he didn't expect that the one he built would look quite good.

There is a saying, how does it go, "The sword is still sharp", it should be used to describe myself.

Gu Lili looked at the built shack and felt very grateful. "Grandpa Lizheng, uncles and aunts, please stay for lunch. I'll be ready in a minute."

The head of the village shook his head repeatedly and said, "We won't eat. We have things to do at home. We will go back first. If you have any difficulties, just come to our house and let us know. As long as I, the head of the village, can help, I will definitely not refuse!"

As the head of the village said this, he called on a few people who were working to go home.

Gu Lili watched them leave and said to the three siblings solemnly, "Erniu, Huanhuan, Sigou, the head of the village and the uncles and aunts, we must remember the kindness in our hearts. If others are good to us, we should also be good to others. Do you understand?"

The three siblings nodded repeatedly.

"Sister, I understand. Like our grandparents, we should also remember those who are not good to us. If they are not good to us, we will not be good to them, right?" Gu Sigou raised his face and asked innocently.

Gu Lili patted Gu Sigou's head with relief and said, "Sigou is right. We need to remember those who treat us badly. If others bully us, we must fight back! We can't rely on our own kindness and fight back when we are bullied!"

The three siblings immediately thought of their mother. Yes, if their mother wasn't so kind and weak, she would definitely not have ended up in that situation.

"People must be kind, but kindness also has principles. You must consider yourself first and then others. That is, you should help others without harming your own interests. Do you understand?" Gu Lili continued.

"I know sister."

"I know it too."

"And me, and me, I know it too!"

All three of them said they understood.

Gu Lili smiled and said, "Now that you know, Huanhuan, go light the fire and I'll cook. Erniu, go check on the wheat in our field. Sigou, go to the door and dig some wild vegetables to feed the chickens!"

After the four of them divided the work, they each did their own job.

It was gloomy in the morning, but now the sun is coming out.

The four of them were in a much better mood at this moment. Now that they had a shack, at least they didn't have to worry about having a place to sleep at night.

As long as the family is safe and sound, sleeping in a shack can actually be quite happy.

Gu Lili planned to have something to eat at noon. After the meal, she had to clean up their collapsed hut and dig out useful things.

For example, the beds they used to sleep on were built with adobe bricks, which could be moved out and used, which was better than sleeping directly on the ground.

Also, the cloth that Gu Lili asked Gu Erniu to tear was also useful at this moment.

I'll dig it out later and make a quilt. I'll buy some fabric for clothes next time I go to market.

There doesn’t seem to be anything else.

Gu Lili made a pot of vegetable porridge and then mixed some fern into a cold dish, which was today's lunch.

After cooking, seeing that Gu Erniu had not come back yet, Gu Lili planned to go out to greet Gu Erniu.

After leaving the hospital, there was no sight of Gu Erniu.

Gu Lili walked all the way to her fields. The further she walked, the more worried she felt.

The freezing rain these past two days was so severe that it broke many of the wheat seedlings in the fields.

Not only the wheat seedlings, but also many branches on the roadside were broken.

Along the way, we met several villagers, all of whom were sighing.

Gu Lili couldn't help but sigh. If the wheat seedlings were frozen and broken, the grain yield, which was already low to begin with, would definitely be greatly reduced.

It seems that food will be expensive this year, so I have to make plans early.

Gu Lili walked forward and saw Gu Erniu squatting in the field from a distance, doing something unknown.

Gu Lili quickened her pace and walked towards Gu Erniu.

"Erniu, what are you doing?" Gu Huanhuan asked Gu Erniu who was squatting on the ground.

Gu Erniu raised his hands, which were full of broken wheat seedlings.

Gu Erniu's eyes were red and filled with tears, and he looked at the wheat seedlings with heartache.

"Sister, a lot of our wheat has been frozen. What should we do?" Gu Erniu said with a heavy nasal voice.

These crops are the lifeblood of farmers, even though the land was only distributed to them by grandpa a few days ago.

However, it was her mother who led the four of them to sow the seeds when she was alive.

When Gu Jingsheng agreed to share the crops with them, Gu Erniu was overjoyed and wished he could come to the field to check on it several times every day.

He has to weed almost every day. Even if there is a weed, Gu Erniu will pull it out immediately as soon as he finds it.

We wanted to prevent them from affecting the growth of wheat, but the sudden freezing rain froze the wheat.

This made Gu Erniu feel very uncomfortable.

He didn't know why God treated them like this, leaving them without a father and a mother.

The house collapsed last night and the wheat froze to death today.

This series of blows left Gu Erniu at a loss for a moment.

Doesn’t God want them to live a good life?
