Liu Jinchuan caressed her belly. At the hint of He'er's eyes, she pretended to take a breath and made a somewhat painful expression.
He'er quickly stepped forward to support Liu Jinchuan, babbling, but the two of them had already gone to Liu Jinchuan's house.
When Ms. Liu came to her senses and found that she was the only one still cursing, she subconsciously wanted to chase Liu Jinchuan to his house and continue to scold them.
Suddenly it occurred to him that Liu Jinchuan seemed to have some stomach discomfort earlier, so He'er quickly helped Liu Jinchuan back to the house.
Therefore, Mr. Liu could only stay where he was.
"What woman doesn't have babies or give birth to children? She's the only one who's precious? The whole family hangs around her, bah!"
Mrs. Liu stamped her foot fiercely, cursed and returned to her house. She didn't forget to slam the door when she entered.
In the house, Liu Jinchuan and He'er listened intently to what was going on outside. Only when they were sure that Mr. Liu had entered their house did they heave a sigh of relief.
He'er raised her hand and made several gestures with Liu Jinchuan.
It meant telling Liu Jinchuan not to take what his mother said to heart, just let her say it, and once she said it, it would be fine.
Liu Jinchuan smiled and nodded. She was grateful for her eldest sister's thoughtfulness, so she also said, "It's the same with eldest sister. I won't take it personally."
"I know what kind of person my mother is. She is sharp-tongued and soft-hearted."
He'er smiled and nodded, especially with regard to the words "sharp-mouthed and soft-hearted." He'er gave Liu Jinchuan a thumbs up and praised her for her good use of this word.
Liu Jinchuan asked He'er again: "I felt bad that the two steamed buns were not given to the two children earlier. Such a small child looks very pitiful..."
He'er also nodded, but at the same time she pointed in the direction of the Luo family and made a gesture to Liu Jinchuan to reassure the latter, or to reassure him.
It means don't worry, someone is already taking care of this.
Liu Jinchuan said: "Sister Qing'er has a kind heart."
"Speaking of which, it seems that there are more beggars than in previous years. People come to the village begging for food every now and then..."
These beggars, bringing their families with them, do not look like simple beggars at all, but like a collective escape.
What is going on outside?
…
Luo family.
When Blacksmith Luo, who was guarding the fish pond, heard the news and returned to Luo's house, he saw a circle of children chasing and playing in the wind and rain verandah on the right side of the yard.
Not only are his two grandsons Tuantuan and Yuanyuan, but also the third son of Cao Bamei's family, Jiang Lan from Xiaoqin's family, Da Niuniu from Zhao Liuer's family, and Xiao Niuniu from Mo's family.
In addition, there are two children, a boy and a girl, whom Blacksmith Luo has given birth to.
Blacksmith Luo looked at the two newborn babies. His first reaction was that they were really handsome, with clean little faces. They wore the same clothes that Da Zhi and Luo Baobao wore when they were young. They combed their hair again and looked at it. He looks nothing like the 'little beggar' that the villagers called him along the way.
Although they were a little thinner, it was clear that the two children were not born from a farmer's family, and their temperaments were obviously different.
"Blacksmith, are you back? Did you hear someone else say that?"
Wang Cuilian came from the side and asked Blacksmith Luo with a smile.
Blacksmith Luo went to work in the fish pond this morning to spread bait for the fish. According to his usual estimates, he would not be back until lunch time.
I came back early, probably because I heard what the villagers said.
Blacksmith Luo really nodded, and said to Wang Cuilian in a low voice: "I was busy over there, and I heard someone tell me that you had taken in a brood of beggars at home and brought them with you. They also said that the male beggar had a fierce look on his face. Madam Liu refused to give him food and almost beat Madam Liu..."
"I'm not worried, come back quickly and take a look!"
Wang Cuilian pursed her lips and smiled, "What? Are you still worried that we will suffer at home? Luring a wolf into the house?"
Blacksmith Luo smiled and did not admit it directly, but this was a disguised admission of his worries.
Tang Yazi is not at home. As an old man, he has to protect the old, weak, women and children at home no matter what!
Wang Cuilian said: "Don't worry blindly. Let's not talk about Qing'er's ability, let's just talk about our secret bodyguard... right?"
Blacksmith Luo nodded, his eyes continued to fall on the two children running and playing in front, and asked Wang Cuilian: "These two children look good, where are their parents?"
Wang Cuilian said: "In the guest room, Qing'er is talking to them, and Wangsheng is also there."
"Wangsheng?"
"The man's leg was bitten by a dog on the road. The wound was so ulcerated that he couldn't stand up. Qing'er was kind-hearted and asked Wangsheng to come over and help treat the wound."
Blacksmith Luo nodded, "I'll go take a look too!"
Wang Cuilian said: "You go ahead, I'll stay here and keep an eye on the children."
There are thousands of beggars in the world, but as long as the beggars reach their doorsteps, Wang Cuilian and Luo Tiejiang will give them more or less a bite of food over the years.
But it is rare for people to drag their entire family out to beg like today.
To put it in the private words of Yang Ruoqing and Wang Cuilian, if they were not really in trouble, which parent would be willing to bring three such young children out to beg for food on such a hot summer day? Received all the looks?
In the guest room.
When Blacksmith Luo came over, Wang Sheng was still cleaning the man's wounds.
Yang Ruoqing and an unfamiliar woman with a baby in her arms stood aside and watched.
The wound was cleaned with salt water and soju in turn. The bite marks left by the two peanut-sized canine teeth on the man's wound were already purple, and the circle of skin and flesh surrounding the bite marks was all rotten, giving off a wave of odor. A fishy stench.
When cleaning, the blood continued to flow out, and you could even see the dense white bones inside.
Even when Yang Ruoqing saw it, she couldn't help but take a deep breath.
The pain of this wound... can be imagined. No wonder this man can't stand up!
By the way, this man's physique and perseverance are really amazing. The wounds are so bad and one of his legs is almost useless, but he can still grit his teeth and persevere.
And I heard this woman say before that it was because when they were passing through a village, a family member of a member of the Communist Party of China made a family prank and deliberately released a few vicious dogs to chase them away.
A vicious dog wants to bite a child, so a man fights against the vicious dog in order to protect his wife and children.
Although he drove away the vicious dog, he could not escape unscathed.
The main reason was not that he was not strong enough to defeat those vicious dogs. In his prime, he was not afraid of even a few vicious wolves.
The main reason is that they fled from their hometown all the way, and most of the things they begged on the way were used to fill the children's bellies.
Before the man fought with the vicious dog, he had not eaten a grain of rice for six days, and his stomach was full of turf and tree roots. After arriving here, he was not lucky enough to eat from the restaurant twice until he arrived in Wanghai County. Leftovers.
Although it goes rancid, it is more filling than the roots of turf trees...
