Chapter 65 The Great Famine of 1942
What are you hesitating about?
Well, there is not much food in itself. With this, even if Aunt Cao Hua is eating tightly with the baby, the little guy in the cradle is still hungry and crying without much energy.
Let’s not talk about whether grass roots are nutritious or not, whether babies who are not full month old can eat it. Even if they are ground into pulp, the little guy can barely eat it, but this is not nutritious!
Duoyu heard the crying softer than the cat's meow, and felt that the little guy was getting weaker day by day. She was really afraid that this little guy would not be able to hold on...
Holding a bowl of grass roots in my hand, thinking about the actions of grass flowers for three consecutive days, I felt that my hands were redundant, and I saw the situation of the mother and son in my eyes and remembered it in my heart.
She thought, such a person should, maybe, maybe? He could not be someone like Damao, right?
I have to say that Duoyu is a kid who looks fierce, is fierce, has a genes warlike, but is actually very cute on the outside and has a very soft heart.
Because of his soft heart, Duoyu listened to Xiaobao Meow Meow's crying and looked at Aunt Caohua's stubborn persistence, the little guy finally made the first difficult trust choice in his life.
The food hidden under the kang that was not found by the old uncle and nephew was dug out in front of the grass flower by the little guy, and handed them all over to the grass flower.
Cao Hua stood there in a daze, watching the little benefactor dig out the stored food that he dragged to him, and his eyes turned red unconsciously.
At an extraordinary moment when a handful of corn can save lives and make people beat their heads into dogs, the little benefactor took out so much food and gave it to himself with full trust. He waved his hand and asked her to make it for her younger son to eat. What a great trust and great kindness this is?
Caohua sucked her nose and tears, but she secretly made some decision in her heart. Since then, she has become more and more diligent when she goes out to find grassroots and bark every day.
In her opinion, those good foods are used by the little benefactor to save their lives. As a result, the little benefactor is kind-hearted and gave them to her, but she cannot just eat and use them. If it is possible, no matter how difficult it is, find more grassroots and tree bark, and the three of them can last for one more day, and she doesn't have to feel so guilty that she takes more advantage of her benefactor.
It was pitiful and I thought that the baby would live a little better after taking out the food. Unfortunately, she didn't expect that Cao Hua's personality would be so handsome that she underestimated this stubborn and strong mother.
For several days, I looked at the food bag that I hadn't moved much, and thought about the difference between the food in my bowl and Aunt Caohua and My son in my bowl, so I just wanted to hold my forehead and sigh.
"Aunt Caohua, grain is for food. Don't take your little brother to eat grass roots every day, as it is not nutritious, and it is difficult to find grass roots, you..."
Cao Hua was afraid that the little benefactor would be like this. Seeing that the little benefactor mentioned this matter again, Cao Hua smiled and responded vaguely: "Yeah, I know everything, don't worry, aunt knows it. Besides, Xiaobao is good for you, and she can drink a bowl of white batter every day."
Duo Yu really wants to refute you and say you are lying to others. Who doesn’t know that the so-called white batter in Aunt Cao Hua’s mouth is actually just a scoop of water poured by Aunt Cao Hua after cooking the white batter for himself!
Really, why do some people so disobey others' advice? Duoyu is very worried about this.
When Caohua saw the redundant appearance, she was afraid that she would talk about it again. She drank a shallow bowl of grass root paste soup in one gulp, put down the bowl, wiped her mouth, and quickly changed the topic: "By the way, the water at home is gone, are you watching Xiaobao at home? Auntie wants to go out to get some water to come to the house."
Speaking of the issue of water, I looked at the empty water tank and thought to myself that the recent use of water for the three of them was the one who brought home the beveled pottery jar that night.
After these few days, no matter how frugal Aunt Cao Hua is, she will almost run out of her life.
Thinking of water, thinking of Aunt Cao Hua who never changed her advice, thinking of poor Xiaobao, she slapped her head with an extra slap and her eyes lit up. Why did she forget about the pumpkin in the bottom of her well!
OK, since it seems that this Caohua Aunt is still rich and doesn’t want to eat his own food, the pumpkin vines, pumpkin leaves, and even pumpkin flowers and pumpkins at the bottom of the well, these aunts can eat them, right?
Another thing is that it is not safe for her to go on the road, so instead of going to a far place to take risks to get water, it is better to fetch water nearby. Wouldn’t you be stunned by looking far away?
Thinking of this, Duoyu was so happy that he didn't have time to say anything. He didn't respond to Cao Hua's words at all. He threw down the bowl and pulled the person and ran to the old well in the village. Cao Hua was so anxious that he thought something big had happened. Hey, he shouted slowly twice, but he quickly picked up the youngest son on the kang, hugged him and ran away in a hurry with Duoyu's pace.
When the two of them ran to the old well in the village in anger, they were pointed at the deep wellhead by Xiao Duoyu beside him and asked her to see it. The grass flower was immediately climbed up from the well, but the green pumpkin vine that did not emerge from the wellhead.
"Duoduo, this, this, this..."
This, this, that, that, and the extra one seemed to be shocked and the grass flowers were not in place. Regardless of the other party's surprise, the little girl waved her hand and was very proud.
"Aunt Caohua, we have food. I picked up this pumpkin from the well. And I told you that we have water to drink, but if there is one at the bottom of the well, you should not go so far to get water. There is enough water here."
The tone of this rich man was shocked and Caohua lost his attitude again.
The little girl in front of her, was it the fairy child sent by the gods in the sky to save their mother and son? How could she be so capable!
That being said, of course, there is actually no water at the bottom of the well. After all, every time I ask the pumpkin vine to draw water from the ground, didn’t it?
However, because the pumpkin vines are densely grown, they almost cover up the entire wellhead. The grass flower looked around for a long time but couldn't see the bottom of the well. Out of subconscious trust, she believed whatever she said.
After all, the little girl brought several golden pumpkins in front of her, and the clear and bright water that could not be fake.
In order not to violate the laws of nature, Duoyu gave Lao Jing guidance to Caohua. In the next few days, the two of them cooperated and duoyu climbed down the well like a monkey to pick melons. Caohua carried his son on his back and took all the pumpkins growing at the bottom of the well home in one go. Only the "withered" pumpkin vine that Wu stubbornly insisted on leaving was left at the bottom of the well.
This is an unnecessary tool for drawing water, so it cannot be ruined.
There is food, water, melons, and rice. There are people taking care of all work at home. There is no need for me to live a decadent life of clothes and food. Many times, the little guy feels that he is about to be trashed.
Fortunately, considering that the pumpkin vines cannot be overloaded, after they harvested the pumpkin vines, they did not let the pumpkin vines fill the old well at one time. So, they brought a small bucket to the old well with a bucket of water every day, which became a stubborn and unnecessary fixed sports event. They could not be able to hold on to the grass flower any longer.
