After a few days, Li Xiaoge'er's body gradually recovered, and he could vaguely hear the sounds around him. After a relatively loud noise, Li Changfeng immediately sent Li Xiaoge'er to the Lin family pharmacy in town to check.
"Well, yes, if you cultivate again, you will be back to normal in a short time."
After checking for Li Xiaogeer, Dr. Lin said that although Li Xiaogeer couldn't fully hear him, he could see from his second brother's expression that his ears were slowly recovering, which made him overjoyed, if he let him If he is deaf all his life like this, he might as well just die!
Li Changfeng was also happy when he heard it, but he still asked Old Doctor Lin to prescribe a few more medicines, so that he would feel more at ease, "Excuse me." Old Doctor Lin smiled and waved his hand, and began to dispense medicine for Li Xiaoge.
Li Xiaogeer watched Li Changfeng take out the money bag to pay for the medicine, and he felt uncomfortable. He lived in Li Changfeng and Xu Qing's house. I couldn't do it for the second brother and the others, which made Li Xiaoge feel that he was an autumn wind, and was very embarrassed.
"Doctor Lin! Doctor Lin!"
A loud shout came from the pharmacy, and then a man dressed in a slightly rich and noble clothes walked in anxiously. As soon as Old Doctor Lin looked up, he saw the person who came with an anxious expression, because Xiao ran was slightly panting.
"It's from the Deng family, but the youngest of your family is sick again?"
Deng Amo stroked his constantly heaving chest, and nodded as he listened to the words of old doctor Lin.
Old Doctor Lin grabbed the medicine for Li Changfeng and the others, nodded, and then turned around and instructed the little pharmacist, then took the medicine box and followed Deng Amo.
This caused Li Xiaoge'er to look at him curiously, and the little pharmacist thought that Li Xiaogeer wanted to ask himself why he was sighing, so he said to himself, "The Deng family is also very promising, the youngest of the family is raising his only son alone. As a grown-up, when you are good enough, you go out to do some small business, and you get busier and busier. Is there no one to accompany the youngest at home? The youngest is not in good health. No, it is because of the youngest from time to time. come back from a disease."
Li Changfeng was puzzled: "Do they have no relatives to look after them?" The little pharmacist shook his head, "I heard that their family escaped from the famine in previous years, but this year, I'm afraid it will be difficult."
The little pharmacist looked at the scorching sun on the street and shook his head. His cousins were eating wild vegetables and wowotou these days, for fear that they would starve to death without food in the future.
Although Li Xiaogeer didn't listen to what Xiaoyao said, he still didn't say much. Li Changfeng wanted to take Li Xiaogeer back when he saw that it was getting late, but he didn't know that Li Xiaogeer was unwilling to follow Li Changfeng home again.
"Second brother, I won't go back with you. I'd better go home. Even if I lent you the money for the medicine, I will pay you back later."
Li Xiaoge'er's words made Li Changfeng a little angry, "What are you talking about, are your second brother and I like that kind of people?!" After speaking, Li Xiaoge'er looked like "I can't hear what you said" again. The fire was simmering in my heart, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.
"Otherwise, second brother, you can take me back, or I will walk back by myself." Li Xiaoge knew that he was angry just by seeing Li Changfeng's expression, so he changed his mind and offered two choices.
Li Changfeng's brain twitched, how could he let his little brother go back by himself! You have to pull yourself back! The sun was so big, and his body had just recovered, but he couldn't let him fool around, so Li Changfeng, who was smart and confused for a while, sent Li Xiaoge back. On the way home, he only woke up. Gave one!
After listening to Li Changfeng's narration, Xu Qing didn't know what to say about him, "It seems that your brain is not very smart." Li Changfeng nodded, "I am not smart at all."
Xu Qingcai was too lazy to hand him a tree pole and let Li Changfeng climb up. He supported his bulging belly with his hands, and he was a little drowsy and dazed. He felt his head was placed in a familiar place. position, and soon fell asleep.
A month later, the fields in the village have completely dried up. It is not very sad that the conditions in the village are relatively good, and the poor conditions are sad. It is not enough to eat all day and night, and sometimes there is no food at all. ! There were also some people who couldn't be hungry, so they went to the back mountain to hunt in groups. As a result, during this period, let alone people, even the animals in the mountains were hungry and their eyes glowed, and when they saw them, they rushed up with green eyes. , not sure what happened.
Since then, the villagers have not dared to pay attention to the mountains, and instead began to take precautions, for fear that the wild beasts from the mountains will come into the village, then it is not a matter of hunger! That's just a matter of life!
As a result, the number of people passing by from Xu Qing and the others gradually became rare, but Xu Qing didn't feel at all. The wall of their house was not just built, and it was four meters high! It's all made of big stones, even if the wolf comes, they don't have to worry too much.
This morning, Li Changfeng went back to Old Li's courtyard. Yesterday, he met Li Xiaoge, who had recovered his hearing, in the town. He was told to go back, and he didn't know why.
Xu Qing fanned the palm fan and walked slowly in the hall with his stomach. The yard was hot and he couldn't walk during the day, but he could walk around the house as he wanted. His stomach was getting bigger and bigger. This miracle of life has been conquered. He can feel that the child in his belly is growing and getting stronger day by day. He drinks the spiritual spring every day. Although it is not much, it is enough for him and the child to absorb.
The river outside the village has started to dry up, and it has changed from a big river to a small ditch today. Even drinking water, the villagers think it is a problem, but about Xu Qing, their family is not in a hurry, and they don't know if it is because of Xu Qing that day. The reason why Qing poured the Lingquan into the well was that the water in the well did not drop! Although the bucket was a little deeper than usual when fetching water, there was still water.
At first, Xu Qing was afraid that Li Changfeng would suspect something, but Li Changfeng brought it up himself. He thought it was because his home was in the back mountain, connected to a large forest, and there was a lot of water in the well. There was also a reason, and he told Xu Qing not to Casually talk about the problem of your own well water, so as not to be missed by others, after all, there will be an accident if there is no water to drink.
Li Changfeng was not cruel either, he was afraid that the water would suddenly run out, what should Xu Qing and the child do? He could not drink water, but Xu Qing was reluctant to bear it.
Li Changfeng only came back at night. Xu Qing was two people now, so he couldn't be hungry for too long. After waiting for half an hour before Li Changfeng came back, he started to eat by himself.
"have you eaten?"
Li Changfeng shook his head, "No, there is no food in the old yard now."
Xu Qing thought for a while, "Did the third child fail the exam?"
Li Laosan has been tossing hard enough this month. There is not much food at home. In the end, he is okay. He always asks Li Laosan to make more hungry things for various reasons to make up for his health. This food The consumption is also great, and the youngest Li is still in pain, but when he thinks that the third youngest Li is in the middle, it doesn't mean that he has everything. From time to time, I promised Li Laosan that the food in this family would not be much a few days before Li Laosan went to take the exam.
Li Changfeng rubbed his brows, "Isn't it because I didn't pass the entrance exam! There is no food in this family now, the elder brother is making a lot of trouble, and the third child is not a loser. The yard where the two of them make trouble is a mess."
Li Laosan’s wife has two children, but Li Laosan’s one child eats more than his two children. It’s okay, as long as Li Laosan can pass the test, it’s nothing, but this food is eaten. It's over, this youngest Li didn't pass the exam again, and the family has no money left, so why don't you start making trouble!
Xu Qing thought about the food in his own warehouse, thinking that Li Changfeng was born by the youngest Li no matter what, he still asked, "Let's give it to you?" Li Changfeng nodded, "Send, of course, I will eat it now. Deliver it after dinner."
But when Li Changfeng finished eating and Xu Qing looked at the food in his hand, the corners of his mouth began to twitch, "Are you sending food? It's better to cook a big pot of dry rice and take it away!"
A small bag in Li Changfeng's hand, which may be like ten kilograms of rice, Li Changfeng smiled and said to Xu Qing: "You know, Doumian, Shengmiqiu, the more they give, the more their hearts will sink. The bigger you are, this is a barren year." He wouldn't let the people in Li's yard starve to death, but he wouldn't joke about the lives of his wife and children. In this barren year, someone did everything.
Xu Qing also knew this principle, he reached out and touched Li Changfeng's face, "I know, it's time to teach them a lesson, and then I know that everything is not what they want." The reason why he and Li Changfeng were able to eat enough, It was also the result of their fortunate and hard labor. Li Changfeng's hands were ground into blood blisters to make wooden dolls. In order to pull the wood back from the mountain, Li Changfeng's shoulders were all blood-red marks. When he came back, which time? Not sweating profusely.
The people in Li's courtyard did not listen to Li Changfeng's words and went to buy food in advance. Instead, they kept all the money for Li Laosan to prepare for the exam. Everything was because they "felt" that as long as Li Laosan was in high school, they would have everything. I didn't think about whether Li Laosan was successful or not. How can this family live in this famine year
Li Xiaoge'er just said another result, and was almost deafened by Li Laosan in a fit of anger. They were taboo "not good!" But they didn't think that this was the two inevitable results they would face.
Li Changfeng hugged Xu Qing, lowered his head and kissed his forehead, and touched Xu Qing's belly with his big empty hand, "Don't wait for me at home, go to bed earlier, I'll send it over and come back."
Xu Qing complied, and after Li Changfeng left, he packed up and went to bed to rest. He was very sleepy now, and he couldn't resist the drowsiness even if he didn't want to sleep.
Li Changfeng handed the food in his hand to the youngest Li, without caring about the faces of the people present, "We don't have much food, and even this bit of food is divided equally with our total food, and my daughter-in-law was alone before. No excess grain was grown, so there was no stockpile."
Mrs. Li's daughter-in-law looked at the few grains unwillingly, and couldn't help but interrupt: "Second brother, didn't you remind us when the price of grain didn't go up? Didn't you buy much?"
Li Changfeng sighed, "As you all know, all of our money was used to repair the house. Who knows, this house is not long after being repaired, and the weather is like this, where is there any extra money to buy food."
The Li family didn't know about Li Changfeng's wooden dolls, but it was true that Li Changfeng's house began to change color shortly after it was repaired. Everyone knows this. His face returned to normal, Li Xiaoge kept his head sullen and did not speak. Since he came back from Xu Qing and Li Changfeng, he no longer had the same temperament with children as before, and talked less with his family.
Li Laosan's face is haggard and desperate, he hasn't been able to recover from the state of being in the middle of the lift at this moment!
