Xu Huang stood up again, bowed to the family members, expressed his feelings, and then stepped forward to help Aunt Xu up and take her home, "Grandma, I will carry you home to give Mrs. Rong's family a new life." Trouble... Grandma eats porridge. After spring, you can go down to work, and I will return the porridge to your family... "
Saying that, Xu Huang wanted to carry Aunt Xu on his back.
Now that Aunt Xu's grandson is back, it is appropriate to take Aunt Xu back.
"Hey... don't be in a hurry to carry your milk back immediately." Aunt Rong quickly stretched out her hand to press on Aunt Xu and said: "Your grandma is weak now. There is no kang in your house. Your grandma's body will not be able to withstand it." , we have to let her be raised here first, not to mention, there is nothing at your place..."
Xu Huang was stunned, his face almost turned blue from holding back, and the corners of his mouth were pursed tightly. Auntie Rong is indeed right. Their family is so poor that they have nothing...
"I'm going to chop firewood right now," Xu Huang clenched his fists and said, "I originally had firewood at home, but grandma was actually ill for a while during the Chinese New Year. I had to take care of her, so I didn't go out to chop firewood. We ran out of firewood at home... As for food, I, I will go into the mountains again."
Xu Huang hesitated. This time when he went up the mountain, there was thick snow everywhere. He only dared to search around the outside, but found nothing.
But he thought that if he wanted to find something to eat, he would have to go deeper into the mountains and look, maybe he could find something...
Xu Huang is still very ashamed of his family's poverty.
Aunt Rong sighed and said: "Your grandma is old and too weak. She just fell down, so she still needs to take good care of her for a while... Xiao Huang, in this case, you can't be polite, or is your grandma more important?" You should go find firewood now and heat up the kang at home, so that at least it can be lived in, otherwise Aunt Xu would not be able to go back to your house."
"It's not the end of winter yet, so it's hard to find food. I'm going to cook porridge from my house and send it to you... Don't refuse, just wait until spring starts and you can return the food. With this little rice porridge, we will No matter how poor the family is, they still have money, and the health of the old aunt is the most important thing in everything."
Aunt Xu was lying on the kang, so helpless that she said "Alas" and "Alas" twice with tears in her eyes.
Xu Huang also felt a wave of heat on his face... His fair face turned red. But after listening to Aunt Rong talking about Aunt Xu several times, Xu Huang couldn't refuse. He tensed his back repeatedly and could only agree.
He gritted his teeth tightly. Although he felt extremely ashamed, but Grandma Xu was the most important thing, Xu Huang still agreed...
Xu Huang left the housekeeper first to chop wood. A group of men from the housekeeper were idle, so they all followed him out to help Xu Huang chop wood. There are more people than there is strength.
It's not like there's no firewood in winter. They live in Yunwu Village, so they've never been short of firewood. It's just that it snows heavily in winter and it's cold. Everyone just doesn't want to go out, so they all prepare firewood before winter and don't want to go out temporarily.
Now, Xu Huang and the housekeeper and a group of men went up the mountain and cut down one or two trees in the outermost forest. They could also find dry and dead trees, which they could just cut down and take back.
After dragging the trees back to the Xu family's house, they chopped the firewood in a short while. Xu Huang burned the kang. Guan Ersao and the others also brought an extra quilt from the housekeeper and lent it to Grandma Xu first.
Fortunately, the housekeeper made money from his business, and the family bought a lot of things, so this year there are more old beddings, which can be used by Grandma Xu and others.
When Xu Huang saw that the housekeeper had given him the bedding, he stopped saying anything and just accepted it silently. When he could go to work in the spring, he would return it to the housekeeper...
After going back and carrying Grandma Xu over, Xu Huang personally put Grandma Xu on the heated kang. The room was already warm and ready for habitation.
Grandma Xu’s eyes were moist.
"Xiao Huang, stop going up the mountain to look for food. You can't find much to eat. Besides, my aunt needs someone to look after her at home. You have to take care of her. Boiling water and everything will be yours. You can't walk away. Got it? What?"
Aunt Rong still remembered telling Xu Huangdao.
Xu Huang really hadn't thought about this before and nodded silently.
The housekeeper went back like this. He had tried his best to help Aunt Xu. After all, the lonely elderly people in the village were too sad in this kind of winter.
And, I don’t know why, this year’s winter is longer than previous winters.
It’s almost the New Year, and it’s still so cold and snowing heavily, as if nothing has changed.
Aunt Rong also muttered that it was unusual.
Guan Chibei's black eyes flashed, his face was calm, and he didn't show anything strange, but he remained silent. This year's winter, of course, is unusual - the God of Yin and Ming descended from the sky, bringing heavy Yin Qi, and three sons of Yin and Ming were born into the world. This phenomenon alone has made the winter in the world longer.
There is another reason for this, that is, they are those with yin energy and like the cold, so in order to welcome them, the cold winter in the world is unintentionally extended.
Most people in the world will only feel that this year's winter is a little longer, with a few heavy snowfalls, but it doesn't feel too weird.
After returning to the housekeeper, Ye Lulu stayed to take care of the three babies, so he didn't go out. When he saw them coming back, he asked them about Aunt Xu's situation.
Aunt Rong replied that Aunt Xu had been settled and three meals a day would be delivered to the Xu family's house. Ye Lulu had no objection and nodded.
If their family has enough energy to help with something, they should help if they can, and it doesn't matter if they help.
Ye Lulu returned to the house, and Guan Chibei also walked in.
Ye Lulun was still thinking about something in his mind, calculating, and couldn't help but say, "Xu Huang is fifteen or sixteen years old this year. He is not as strong as a young man, and he has no advantage in working at the dock. In Yuan I'm going to work as an errand boy in the city, but I'm not familiar enough with the places in the city, I'm not smart enough, and I'm still not very good..."
"But I see that he is very energetic, and although he is not the strongest, he is not weak at all. Since he has helped Aunt Xu, if he wants to repay our family, why not just let him... help me..."
In fact, what Ye Lulu has been thinking about is the business she will do after the new year. Originally, after such a long period of experimentation, she was a little bit locked into eating like Shandong pancakes. Her goal is actually bigger, but it's very far away. Let's not talk about it for now. The housekeeper's financial resources are too small, so she has to earn the first capital no matter what, so in the beginning, she still has to set up a stall for a while.
But after meeting Xu Huang today... Ye Lulu was thinking that maybe after helping Aunt Xu, she might as well ask Xu Huang to do things for her. Wouldn't that be appropriate
Just as she was telling Guan Chibei, Ye Lulu wanted to ask him what his opinion was, but suddenly she heard Guan Chibei in the room say to her slowly:
"Xu Huang, Xu Huang... do you like him very much? Just now in the kitchen, you were very attentive. Do you like a young man like Xu Huang?"
