Affection for Sidaogou during the Famine

Weed-like hair, a bloodless and sallow face, a flat nose and a toad mouth, a patched jacket hanging on top of patches on a bamboo pole body, swaying... Oh my God, isn't this the internet celebrity girl Xia Laru?

"Wu Ni, call me sister. This is your sister Zhao Zhao." The old lady pushed the shivering little skinny person who lowered her head.

"Sister!" The little man made a low mosquito-like humming sound.

Han Zhaozhao's mind was filled with thunder and he was stunned for a moment.

"The child is calling you, why don't you answer?" The old lady interrupted Han Zhaozhao's daze.

"Yeah!" Han Zhaozhao quickly agreed.

"Grandma, is this my eldest aunt's child? Why is he so thin? Is he not in good health?"

All the time spent learning medical skills was not in vain. Under the dim light, Han Zhaozhao could still see that the child was unhealthy.

"That's not bad! This child was born before the due date and has been sickly since childhood.

There was no doctor in the village, and he managed to save his life by just taking a sip of soup and drinking a sip of water.

He is five years old this year, but he is not growing taller or gaining weight. Instead, he is becoming more and more twitchy. It makes people feel sad when they see him.

When I went back this time, I found out that your aunt was pregnant again and she didn't have the energy to take care of her. I thought, don't you study medicine? You know a lot of old doctors. If this child comes back with you, there may be a chance of recovery.

At the very least, eat well and take care of your body. Otherwise, you may not live for many years in your aunt’s hands.”

In the evening, after the hungry grandparents finished their noodles and washed up, they sent Wu Ni to sleep on the kang. Then the old lady took Han Zhaozhao back to the main room and told her about the child in detail.

To be honest, the old lady felt uneasy!

In this day and age, raising a child is not just a matter of providing food, it is a huge burden!

What's more, Wu Ni is still sick and spends a lot of money on medicine. She is still arrogant. With hundreds of dollars in her pocket, how come she doesn't know her last name?

"Zhao Zhao, I didn't intend to bring this child back home, but before leaving, she looked at me with longing eyes, and I felt so sad.

No one cares about the life or death of a little girl in the countryside. If grandma doesn't bring her back, I'm afraid the child will die soon.

Grandma, you took the child back in a fit of anger. Oh! It's a life after all, and it's your own flesh and blood. You can't just ignore it. Grandma really can't bear it. "

The old lady's eyes were full of guilt. In fact, she regretted it as soon as she got on the train.

After all, this house belongs to her granddaughter. When she dies, every brick and tile will belong to Zhaozhao.

Taking Wu Ni home would simply put Zhao Zhao at a disadvantage!

But she was also in a dilemma. Her granddaughter is also her granddaughter. Even though she didn't grow up in front of her and the relationship with her is not as close as that with her biological granddaughter, her family has the ability to do so. She couldn't be cruel enough to pretend not to see it, but she could do it.

Han Zhaozhao held her grandmother's hand. It had only been a few days, but the old lady's hands were dry and peeling. She understood the old lady's concerns. Don't forget that she had the soul of an adult in her heart.

But she doesn't care!

With the space, it can be said that she lacks nothing. As long as she does not have the intention to encroach on this courtyard, as a cousin, she has no objection to taking care of her cousin's food, clothing and medical treatment.

In previous years, even though they lived far away, didn't their family help their aunt a lot? They were all blood relatives, and they should take care of those they could afford. Who else can we take care of in this life? Aren't they just these two relatives?

On the surface, this family is supported by her grandmother. The old lady has a job and saves food from her own mouth. What's wrong with raising one more child? This child is not an outsider but her flesh and blood. Who says that a granddaughter is not a granddaughter?

Han Zhaozhao has experienced this personally. In her previous life, her grandmother was much closer to her than her grandmother!

"Grandma, what are you regretting? Don't worry, I support you in raising Wu Ni. After all, she is my cousin.

It's good to bring your child home so that he can be taken care of easily. Otherwise, you would definitely be worried if you stayed in the Northeast.

We have enough food and drink at home, and we can feed more people. But there is one problem, and I have to tell you in advance that I can't take care of children.

I study medicine, practice martial arts, and collect herbs every day, so I don't have time to go to school. Don't expect me to take care of Wu Ni for you."

Han Zhaozhao is magnanimous, but there are some things that she needs to say upfront. She is busy and has no time to be a full-time nanny.

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on her cheeks. It was great that her granddaughter didn't blame her.

"I thought about it on the way. You don't need to do this. Apart from finding a doctor for Wu Ni, you don't need to worry about the rest. Just do what you need to do.

Although this child looks thin, he is actually quite capable. He can cook, wash clothes, and take care of his own affairs.

She just arrived, so let her sleep in the same room with me at night, and let her go to the purchasing station with me during the day. I will take care of her and won’t let her delay your work.”

Okay, the old lady has made all the plans, so she doesn’t have to worry about anything. That’s good, she’s quite satisfied.

After the mother and daughter finished discussing the matter, the old lady began to unpack her luggage with great interest, "Zhao Zhao, look at the good things grandma brought back for you.

This is the tiger bone given by the captain. Captain, do you remember that you and your grandfather are cousins ​​of three generations apart? You have to call him Sixth Grandpa.

When they heard that you were studying Chinese medicine, several of your grandparents in the village were very happy. Before you left, they brought you all the good things they had stored at home for several years.

This pack of toad oil was given to you by your second uncle. Look, it’s not too small, enough for one kilogram.

Peeling this thing is a delicate job. It takes dozens of kilograms of female leopards to make one kilogram of dried oil. It took the whole family of his family to get so much.

This package contains Schisandra chinensis, given to you by your aunt. Last autumn, your uncle took your cousins ​​to the mountains to pick them, and they have been kept for you.

If I hadn’t gone this time, the post office would have sent it to me. I went, and I saved the money for postage.”

Han Zhaozhao picked up each item and looked at it carefully. They were good, well preserved, and all good things.

"This pack is hazel mushrooms, this pack is pine moth mushrooms, and these are hericium erinaceus. They were collected from the whole village."

Talking about Sidaogou, the old lady's face was ruddy and her eyes sparkled, "We went at a wrong time this time, as it was the lean period between harvest and harvest. If we had gone before the New Year, there would have been more mountain products, mushrooms and wild vegetables.

What a pity, every household does not have enough food in the spring, and no one has much stock.

Before you left, your Sixth Grandfather said that in the autumn, he would organize the villagers to go up the mountain to get more mountain products, dry them, and send them to us.

Zhaozhao, let me tell you, this time it was fortunate that grandma brought a lot of food coupons, which helped the village solve a big problem.

The noodles I brought back also helped. Many wives in the village were weaned, and the babies had no milk to drink. They cried day and night because of hunger, which made people feel very sad. "

Han Zhaozhao understood. No wonder the old lady had become so thin that she looked like she had aged five or six years after just a few days away. It was because she was hungry.

"Grandma, you didn't have a full meal this time when you returned home, did you?"

The old lady's eyes turned red. "Child, I can't eat milk. All the people in Sidaogou are my relatives. Seeing those toothless old people and those skinny little kids eating bran and vegetables, my throat is tight. How can I eat alone secretly?"
