Chapter 43 The Great Famine of 1942
There are dried locusts, sweet potatoes, roasted dried pumpkin slices, and even two heads of garlic, a handful of corn, and half a pocket of salt in the size of a palm-sized cloth bag.
These things are usually expensive and good goods. Now in such difficult years, the things in this cloth bag are not food, but fate!
Da Ni'er was timid. Seeing so many things in the bag, she didn't dare to make a decision privately. She hurriedly carried the bag carefully and ran to the front, came to her grandfather, and pulled the hole in her pocket to show the things inside. Li Tiezi first wanted to slap the third granddaughter behind her granddaughter and asked her to collect such expensive things as Doni'er! Later, she was stunned by the salt in the big pocket of the palm.
If I read correctly, this salt was the small jar of salt that my old brother risked his life and was injured in his leg, so he got from Majiazhuang?
When the idiot Sangou Danzi insisted on giving it to him, he was unhappy to ask for it. Now that the things he had obviously refused were back in front of him, the salt made Li Tiezi's eyes turn red again, and he couldn't help but mutter: "Idiot Sangou Danzi, idiot, you bear guy!"
Li Tiezi didn't know that it was because Li Sanhe knew his stubbornness, Tiezi brother, and that he had a hard mouth and soft heart, so he specially prepared this pack before leaving.
He is a villain first and then a gentleman, in order to give their third daughter-in-law a good vaccination in advance. Before the end of the dilemma, they would never let them get their granddaughter's chicken on the bus from the beginning.
But Li Sanhe didn't know that his granddaughter didn't follow his script at all and didn't go to flee with the famine?
This made Li Sanhe's painstaking efforts and defense all become a joke.
But after most of the people in Xiao Lizhuang fled to famine;
As the grandfather and grandson put the grain in the same place like rats;
As they ended their busyness;
The grandfather and grandson suddenly discovered that the whole Zhuangzi, oh no, the whole world seemed to have quieted down, and Xiao Lizhuang instantly lost popularity.
Too.
Except for the old man who really can't walk or is concerned about the younger generation in the family, he will not want to be a drag on death;
Or being despised by the juniors at home is a burden and deliberately left behind and did not take it with you;
Or there are other things at home, such as adults going to Majiazhuang to eat big families, but the people are reluctant to return;
It's almost impossible to count with a slap, but there are only two grandchildren in Li San and He. There is no one living in the entire Li village, even if there is no dog...
Li Sanhe was injured in his leg, lack of medical treatment, and equipped his granddaughter with luggage overnight, and even more so because of the breath of energy that was hanging in his heart after sending his granddaughter away.
Even though his granddaughter came back, Li Sanhe was worried and happy, and wanted to cheer up, but he was already confused.
On the night when Li Tiezi and the others left, Li Sanhe, who was pulled on the kang and forced to rest by extra service, started to have a high fever that night.
I still slept until midnight. Duoyu heard the uncomfortable humming of his grandfather beside him. After she got up quickly, she realized that something was wrong with her grandfather. Her whole body was humming hotly, and she couldn't wake up even when she shouted.
Facing the grandfather with a high fever, he was helpless.
She is not a doctor, and she has no medicine at hand. The little guy is trying hard to recall living with her mother. When her mother helped her treat the little rabbit, she said a few words, about the symptoms that a person will have after being injured and after care, Xiao Duoyu will not be in a hurry.
"It needs to cool down, it needs to cool down..."
Little mouth repeatedly muttered the words my mother mentioned in my memory, climbed off the kang with her extra hands and feet, carefully scooped up the dry food from the large water tank in the kitchen, and after she finished making the dry food, she collected all of them and scooped them into the wooden basin.
Even though they were all scooped up, the wooden basin was just a shallow layer of the back of her hand.
The excess protects the precious water in the wooden basin, pulls the cloth towel for washing your face, lie down on the edge of the kang, and uses the hazy moonlight that penetrates through the white paper window, and the excess wets the veil and gives grandpa a cold compress.
While the cold compress was being compressed, the little guy was still whispering to encourage Li Sanhe, "Grandpa, you have to be good, you have to work hard, Duoduo needs you, grandpa, come on..."
Li Sanhe, in a coma, felt as if he was walking on the dry earth, ruthlessly baked by the hot sun above his head. His mouth was dry, his mind was dizzy, his legs and feet were sore and soft, and his hair was floating. Suddenly, he felt that his forehead was cold, and his ears were filled with soft and glutinous child voices that belonged to his baby granddaughter.
Li Sanhe wanted to shout loudly, to answer her baby granddaughter, and to comfort her, don’t worry, don’t worry.
It’s a pity that I don’t know what’s going on. No matter how he opened his mouth wide, he could not make any sound in his throat...
Duoyu had no idea how Li Sanhe was in a coma was trapped in the beasts. While comforting her, she used a cold veil to apply her grandfather's forehead, and from time to time she wiped her neck and palms.
When I saw my grandfather's mouth being skinny and cracked, I was facing the empty water tank that could no longer be scooped out, the anxious little guy suddenly thought of the preparations for his escape when he left before.
The gourd I carried was filled with the cold boiled water that my grandfather had thoughtfully boiled for me!
Thinking of this, Duoyu couldn't help but search in the room. While searching, he was still yelling urgently, "Gourd, gourd, where are you? Where did I put it before? Gourd, gourd..."
With anxiousness in her mouth, Duo Yu groped in the house for a long time, and finally followed her memory and finally found her baby gourd in the small cellar in the house, next to the dried sweet potato and locusts.
In this way, Duo Yu repeated the ice cream for grandpa, wiped his neck and hands, and served him slowly. He stayed until dawn from midnight until dawn. The water that could have been soaked in the wooden basin that could have been half submerged in the back of her hand was now half gone, and the gourd was filled with cold boiled water, and only half of the gourd was left. This was because she was very saver.
Water seems to have become the top priority now, and it is blocking himself and grandpa.
He carefully shook the remaining half of the gourd water, his eyes full of sorrow.
Without water, not talking about whether I can survive, just talk about my grandfather. Without water, her grandfather will definitely not be able to persist!
But what should I do?
Go and fetch water by yourself?
