Chapter 24 The Great Famine of 1942
As for people, the more anxious they are, the more they love to think about random things in their minds.
After thinking about it, the little guy suddenly became scared when he thought of his mother who was unknown.
Seeing that the last trace of the sun was about to set off, I secretly glanced at the grandpa. The big grandma and the others had no time to pay attention to themselves. Duo Yu quietly moved his short legs, moving little by little, little by little to the door.
Seeing the door was right in front of me, victory was in sight. As long as I rushed out of the door, I could go to find my grandfather. Duo Yu was happy and he stabbed him out.
"Ouch!", the pain was unnecessary and I almost squatted with my butt.
"Good guy, Donier, what are you running away? Come and see it for uncle, but you bumped into you?"
Due to excessive force, although Duoyu avoided the gaze of his yard, he was so unlucky that he plunged into it. He followed Li Sanhe and his brothers to get water early in the morning.
Duoyu even knocked down Li Dagen, who was holding a mule, and was picked up by the other party to avoid her close contact with Dadi.
When Li Dagen was held in his arms, Duoyu was happy at first and looked around anxiously, but he couldn't see his grandfather at all. Duoyu was anxious.
The poor little claw that had just scabbed excitedly grabbed Li Dagen's neck collar, and the little guy asked anxiously.
"Uncle, where is my grandfather? Didn't my grandfather go to get water with you and the second uncle? Why did you and the second uncle come to your house, but my grandfather didn't see it?"
Li Dagen was stunned by the little guy's question, then suddenly laughed out loud, and couldn't help but sigh, "Little guy, he's quite filial!"
As he said that, his rough and barbed palm had a sneak attack on his extra potholes without hesitation, Li Dagen teased.
"Donianer, why do you only care about your grandfather, but don't care about your uncle and your second uncle? You little girl is partial! Come and tell me, do you love your grandfather the most, or your uncle, or your second uncle?"
This question is so boring! Duo Yu wants to roll his eyes.
He glanced at Li Dagen, who was holding him and joking, and then glanced at her with a smile and shook his head to look at her, and then he was busy unloading the water.
For multiple-choice questions that only children do, they are arrogant and firm, "I like my grandfather the most!"
Such a firm and unquestionable tone made Li Dagen smile again, rubbed his extra head, causing extra irritable hair.
"Uncle, stop making trouble, where is my grandfather?"
This is the most important question. Is the uncle a child? He has burned the house even though he hasn't seen her, so he still plays?
Actually, it is already a problem that Li Dagen can have the mood to play with extra people.
If something happened to them, how could Li Dagen and Li Ergen look so relaxed, and they still have the mood to tease the child?
Putting the stubbornness struggling in your arms on the ground, Li Dagen smiled and pinched the red hair's face, and finally gave Duo Yu a serious explanation.
"Your grandpa has something good! When you were pulling the water, your grandpa met someone from Majiazhuang next door. The land mainly held the 60th birthday. Your grandpa was invited to have a meal at the middle of the day and had to stay there for three days. How could you be at your uncle's house tonight and let your sister Nier take you to sleep with you."
"Majiazhuang? I'm going to go for three days?"
Duoyu listened very seriously and was very good at focusing on the key points. He retelled it with a little mouth, which resulted in the repeated nodding of Li Dagen in front of him.
When I heard the noise next to me, the old lady who came out with her three daughters-in-law also heard it.
Facing what his son said, the old lady sighed and moved.
"Drought is dead from drought, and the flood is dead from flood. We have had no meals after eating. The landlords still have food to make noodles, and the banquet is still open for three days. How much food does it cost to spend..."
"Mom, what are you worried about? He is the richest landlord in a radius of 100 miles. His eldest son works as a secretary for the county magistrate in the county town, his second son is said to be studying in France and West, and his youngest son is said to be playing Mucang in the army of Xuchang! He has a strong foundation, do you think he is a poor man like us!"
Thinking that they were going to fetch water today, when they happened to be passing by Majiazhuang, the butler of Majiazhuang met his third uncle and immediately pulled his third uncle and asked his third uncle to help him. He also paid the ten-pound millet in one breath!
With such a high-priced reward, even if the butler was about to take his third uncle there immediately, they agreed that this job was worth taking.
As for the water on the car, what's the big deal? The two brothers helped transport it back together.
When they entered the village just now, the two brothers and the ten kilograms of millet paid by Mr. Ma Yiluo to Uncle San, all of them were sent to Uncle San's house. They poured all the water transported by Uncle San into the water tank, packed up, and hid the millet, and the brothers came back, so they came back so late.
Li Dagen also sighed, but his hands were not slow. He and his mother transported all the water in the car into the door.
The family closed the door quickly and prepared to finish their meal. Of course, they wanted to sneak away too much, and were also led into the house by the old lady.
At night, the daily meal at Li Tiezi's family is very simple now. It is made of dried wild vegetables, locust powder and the broken grains stored last year. It is still a thin soup and not sticky.
Such meals are now extremely rare in Xiaolizhuang, or in the entire disaster-stricken Henan area.
The old lady felt sorry for the redundant, and the rice in the excess bowl was as thick as the bottom of the pot, just like the old uncle and the second uncle who worked hard at home to pull water...
Duoyu is a good child, he is not picky and eats whatever he gives. Except when he is eating, he always keeps thinking about whether his grandfather has food to eat when he holds a bowl. The little guy is very peaceful.
But what Duoyu didn't know was that she was so worried about her grandfather's little appearance that made the old couple Li Tiezi feel sorry for her, and also made Da Nier, a big-headed sibling, take her feelings for her third grandfather in her eyes and remember it in her heart.
Early the next morning, when Duoyu woke up, the grandfather's house was quiet. He slept with Da Nier and the girls. He got up and was wondering, preparing to turn off the kang to find his sisters, but San Nier was yelling in a hurry and jumped in mysteriously.
