011 Moved Again
Inside the room, the four siblings were crying. Through the tears, Gu Xiaowan saw the three younger siblings crying bitterly. She stopped the tears and wiped her eyes with the cuffs of the cotton-padded jacket whose colors were already indistinguishable.
This home is so dilapidated, so poor, and there are four mouths to eat, she can't bear to lie down anymore.
She wants to get well now, get well soon.
Gu Xiaowan stopped crying, stretched out her hand and pulled the children in front of her, gently wiped the tears from the faces of the three younger siblings, and then told them, "Don't cry. My sister just missed her father and mother just now."
Gu Ning'an, Gu Ningping, and Gu Xiaoyi stopped crying. Hearing the elder sister said that she missed her father and mother, she nodded fiercely and said in unison, "Sister, I miss my father and mother too."
Gu Xiaowan nodded: "I know, I know that my Ning An, Ning Ping, and Xiao Yi are the best children." Gu Xiaowan said a name and looked at someone tenderly. In her eyes, there is maternal love and firmness that she has not found.
As the saying goes, the elder sister is like a mother. The eldest sister is the mother of the children below!
At this moment, Gu Xiaowan finally understood the meaning of this sentence. No matter what hardships they suffered in the past, from now on, she Gu Xiaowan, Gu Xiaowan of the 21st world, has come back to life. Although she is only eight years old in body, she has the soul and experience of 28 years old.
She believes that as long as they have a flexible mind, a pair of hard-working hands, and a united family, they will one day get rid of this poverty.
Gu Xiaowan looked around, this dilapidated home, and three obedient siblings, then hugged them tightly, and said firmly: "Listen, from now on, we will work together to live a good life. My sister will let you have a good life. You can eat enough to eat, and you have clothes to keep you warm.”
Gu Xiaoyi didn't dare to say anything big, she didn't know enough about this era, she didn't know what it was like, but she didn't dare to say anything else, she had to do it so that her three younger siblings would not be starving and freezing. .
The three children looked at Gu Xiaoyi's firm eyes and nodded heavily when they heard her firm tone.
On the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, others are happily preparing for the New Year, singing and laughing, but here they are in a cold pot, but their three young hearts are warm.
Gu Xiaowan firmly believed that with their efforts, they would definitely get better.
The next day, Gu Xiaowan felt that her body was no longer so weak, her head didn't rise anymore, and she got up early.
It was still dark outside, and Gu Xiaowan felt that it might be around six o'clock in the modern age. At this time, she should have woken up and went to work. The work and rest habits of the previous life made Gu Xiaowan's life very regular, unless she worked overtime the night before.
There is only one kang at home, and the four children are crowded together. The kang is very cold, and the firewood at home is not enough to burn, so there is no extra firewood to burn the kang.
The four children can only be hugged together, Gu Ning'an and Gu Ningping are close to each other, and Gu Xiaoyi is also close to Gu Xiaowan.
When Gu Xiaowan got up, her movements were very gentle, for fear of waking up the fourth child. However, the sharp-eared dick woke up. I don't know if it was woken up or if I had already woken up.
Gu Ning'an saw Gu Xiaowan getting up, and quickly lowered her voice and said anxiously, "Sister, you are not feeling well, hurry up and lie down to rest."
Gu Xiaowan hurriedly stretched out her index finger and snorted, "Keep your voice down."
Then his hands and feet didn't stop, and he dressed in Gu Ning'an's worry. Then he gently pressed the cup to Gu Xiaoyi, and saw Gu Xiaoyi's sleeping face, thin and without half a tael of flesh, and his heart ached.
This family needs food too much. These children have trouble getting enough to eat.
Gu Ning'an also quickly got dressed, got off the kang, pulled Gu Xiaowan's clothes, and said distressedly, "Sister, you are just right, you are still weak, go and rest. I'll make breakfast."
Gu Xiaowan shook her head, caressed Gu Ning'an's hair, and said, "Sister is so fragile, I've been lying in bed for seven or eight days, I'm getting better soon. If I lie down again, I'm about to break. "
Gu Ning'an had no choice but to promise: "Okay! Sister, I'll help you!"
Gu Xiaowan did not refuse, and she could not tolerate her refusal. First, she didn't want to refute Gu Ning'an's kindness. Gu Ning'an was the eldest son in the Gu family. In such a dilapidated family, Gu Ning'an should have taken up the responsibility of this family earlier. Second, she really doesn't know this family. I'm afraid that if she does something strange, everyone will think she's a monster!
Therefore, it is better to be around someone who is familiar with the situation. At the very least, if you do something wrong, you can say that your brain is burnt, and it is difficult to make this sentence come true.
Although Gu Xiaowan had already seen such a poor home and was already prepared, but when she looked outside, she was startled by this poor home and took a deep breath.
There are only two rooms in this house, one is the big room where Gu Xiaowan is still standing, which is the one where she slept just now, and the other is a small one made of simple wood. The house, let's call it a small kitchen. There is an earthen stove inside, which is connected to the earthen kang in the big room. When the fire is cooked in winter, the earthen kang is also warmed by the way.
There is some firewood at the entrance of the kitchenette, but it is very small. Gu Xiaowan searched her memory, these children were very young and couldn't chop firewood, so they could only pick up or break firewood with very thin branches. There is a water tank in the small kitchen. The water tank is covered with a wooden board. There are deep and shallow marks left by cutting vegetables with a knife. It seems that this wooden board is still a cutting board. There is a calabash water scoop on the cutting board. There are two wooden stacks next to the water tank
A wooden pole stands beside the barrel.
There was a ragged sack next to it, Gu Xiaowan looked at it, it could be said that she was running out of ammunition and food, so save a little bit of use, it is estimated that it is enough for one morning and one lunch of sorghum noodles.
No rice, no white flour, and no vegetables at all.
The entire Gu family can eat, it is estimated that this is about half a catty of sorghum noodles, and the half tank of water.
Gu Xiaowan pouted her lips worriedly, let's take a look first.
