After crossing, start from the courtyard

Chapter 152 Chapter 143
"Xiaoyu, where did you get breast milk?"

Xu Erzhu, who was born in the countryside, never drank milk at all, and thought the milk was breast milk.

Breast milk is a good thing. It is very nutritious. Almost all pregnant women in rural areas do not have breast milk, because their family living conditions cannot keep up. This person’s life is not good, not to mention breast milk, even having enough to eat is a problem.

Not to mention the fact that a child cannot eat breast milk after birth, and it is simply impossible to borrow it from another family.

Because there is not enough breast milk for my own children, not to mention helping to raise other children's children.

"Brother Er Zhu, this is not breast milk, this is milk. Although it is not as nutritious as breast milk, there is still something to eat. It shouldn't be a problem for this child to try to eat some. It's better than kudzu root soup!"

He Yu glanced at Mei Sanniang who was in a daze, her eyes were dull, she was not living like a human being at all.

The child is only a few months old, and he is not used to eating other things, but here, some food is good.

Like some babies, it can only be said that their lives are hard, and they drink some pimple water all day long, and they grow up likewise.

Mei Sanniang can't keep up with her nutrition now, and she doesn't have breast milk at all. If she wants her child to eat breast milk, she has to start with his mother.

"Xiao Ling, will you feed the baby hot milk?"

Xiao Ling looked around and found no suitable tools, "Xiao Yu, wait a moment!"

Xiao Ling washed her hands, took the bowl of milk in He Yu's hand, then stirred the milk with her fingers, and then handed it to the baby's mouth, letting the baby suck her fingers.

"Look, it's back to the hall to drink."

Not to mention that this little baby is still licking vigorously, squinting his eyes while sucking his fingers.

"This little guy is so good! As long as there is food, he doesn't make noise and is quite obedient!" Xiaoling looked at the baby in her arms dotingly, if it wasn't for his mother, she would have thought it was the baby in her arms. What about her children.

"Sister, it seems that my brother likes you very much. Look at him, I have never seen him like that. My brother smiles so happily. My mother used to be very happy when feeding him, but my mother didn't know my brother anymore. ..." As she spoke, Mei Xue's voice became smaller and smaller, and the small ones buzzed like bees.

"It doesn't matter. Your mother will definitely get better in the future. The three of you will definitely live a good life. Besides, don't you still have your Uncle Erzhu?"

Mei Xue took a look at Uncle Er Zhu who had been taking care of them. In Mei Xue's eyes, Uncle Er Zhu was completely different from other neighbors. Never seen in the eyes.

"If only my father was still there, so that my mother wouldn't go crazy, my grandma wouldn't leave us, and our family wouldn't be reduced to this level. I should be able to go to school normally like other children Bar……"

Thinking of this, Mei Xue suddenly recalled that the neighbors were gossiping about her mother. They all said that his father had abandoned his mother, and that she was the nemesis from the village, who specialized in killing men.

"Sister Xiaoling, my mother is a good person."

Xiao Ling smiled at Mei Xue and nodded, "Of course your mother is a good person, and she didn't do anything bad!"

Seeing how sensible the child was, Xu Erzhu couldn't help sighing, so he asked He Yu and him to serve the pimple water. After all, he couldn't be the mother of these children, let alone give them that kind of motherly love. It's better to let Xiaoling take care of her. to accompany them.

"Actually, this child is also suffering. This child is not a seedling of the Li family, so Li Zhantang here doesn't like Mei Xue very much. Mei Xue has always been very sensible in our village. She will help the family with everything and share it. Although Li Zhantang is not Like the kid, but mother likes it."

"My child, you should be of school age. You should get up early and return home late like other children. Although most girls don't go to school like ours, Li Zhantang's family is still rich. Li Zhantang's family has been doctors for generations. , I always feel that this Li Zhantang is not that kind of person."

Speaking of this, Xu Erzhu sighed deeply, "Who knows, the world is unpredictable, just Li Zhantang, who abandoned his wife, children, and his mother, what do you mean?"

"This child has just been born, and the father has disappeared, and even left behind his elderly mother!"

He Yu roughly learned a lot about Mei Sanniang from Xu Erzhu.

"In other words, Mei Xue was brought into the village by Mei Sanniang."

"Yes, this child was brought in by Mei Sanniang. Back then, everyone in our village envied Li Zhantang, including me of course. They envied him for marrying Sanniang."

Xu Erzhu sighed while filling kudzu root water, "Sanniang, when I first came to our village, many people gathered around, saying that this is the most beautiful girl here!"

"I was also very interested at the time, so I took a look at Li Zhantang's window. As everyone said, she is really a beautiful girl."

"But after all, there is someone who is famous and beautiful, and I will definitely not take the love away, so everyone is disappointed, and they go back to their respective homes and find their own mothers."

He Yu took Ge Genshui and asked jokingly, "Then why don't you take Mei Sanniang now? That way you can take care of their family in a legitimate way."

"I think I would, but you also know that Sanniang is like this, how dare I, even if I am willing, if she wakes up and finds that she doesn't like me at all, I am taking advantage of others, and I am The only seedling in the family, my mother will not agree!"

"She is an old man, she just wants me to find an ordinary girl, get married and have children, and continue the incense of my Xu family."

Holding a bowl of kudzu root water in both hands, He Yu walked towards the room, "That's true, you are the only seedling in the family, if you marry Mei Sanniang, whether you can have children is still a question."

"You said it would have been nice if this hadn't happened."

Xu Erzhu smiled wryly, holding two bowls of kudzu root water in his hand, and followed behind He Yu.

"Xue'er, come on, you can drink a bowl too. Haven't you eaten for a few days? The clear soup I have boiled is too watery. I've treated you badly."

Mei Xue stared at the large pieces of kudzu root in the bowl and was silent, followed by her mother who was sitting not far away, she took the bowl of kudzu root water back and said to Uncle Xu Erzhu, "Uncle, I suggest that I leave it for my mother to drink. My mother hasn't eaten for a few days, so I still ate some, I'm not hungry, so my mother should eat more."

"Sister Xiaoling said that as long as mother's body is well-raised, she will have breast milk, and with breast milk, she can feed my younger brother... I... am not hungry at all..."

Mei Xue licked the corners of her mouth, her eyes remained in the bowl, she was obviously very hungry, but she pretended not to be hungry at all, and wanted to leave something good for her mother.

"Don't worry, there is still in the pot. This thing is not rice, but to warm your stomach. To put it bluntly, it is a bowl of medicine. In this way, it will not be harmful to people who are not sick, and it can also prevent colds."

"Your mother is sick, so she must drink it. What about you, drinking a little is good for your health, understand? If your health collapses, how will you take care of your brother and mother?"

Mei Xue was taken aback, the man in front of her was right, so she took the bowl of warm kudzu root water tremblingly.

"thanks……"

"Good boy, taking care of your body is the greatest love for your mother, so you don't have to worry about her, understand?"

"Well, I'll drink it right away."

Mei Xue blew gently, then drank.

On the other side, Mei Sanniang didn't open her mouth all the time, looking at the bowl of kudzu root water, she was very scared.

In order to distract Mei Sanniang's attention, He Yu performed magic tricks on her like coaxing a child.

"Mei Sanniang, what do you see in my hand?"

Mei Sanniang's empty eyes fell on He Yu's hand, she shook her head, shrank her body, and leaned against the corner of the wall.

Immediately after He Yu changed, a small pink flower appeared in his hand, and he slowly handed the small flower to Mei Sanniang.

It is said that women love flowers, Mei Sanniang was fascinated by the flower in He Yu's hand, and then He Yu put the flower in Mei Sanniang's hair with her backhand.

"Mei Sanniang, come and taste this water, it's delicious!"

He Yu also demonstrated it to Mei Sanniang himself. He took out the spoon he had brought before, scooped up a spoonful, and then pretended to put it in his mouth, pretending to be very tasty.

This play attracted Mei Sanniang's curiosity of Ge Genshui, she suddenly stretched out her hand to grab it, but fortunately He Yu responded in time, and Mei Sanniang didn't overturn Ge Genshui.

"Let's drink from a small spoon!"

Mei Sanniang didn't seem to understand what He Yu was saying, she lifted the small spoon with her hand, and the sound of the spoon falling to the ground startled Mei Xue.

After Mei Xue drank the kudzu root water in her hand, she was a little reluctant to eat the kudzu root that was left in it. She looked at her mother, squatted down, and held Mei Sanniang's worn clothes with her small hands.

Looking at Mei Sanniang with teary eyes, he handed over the kudzu root in the bowl, "Mother, try it, it's delicious! Mother, please eat, Xue'er, please."

Mei Xue was crying while talking, and at this moment, Gui Tang, who had just fallen asleep, also started crying.

It is said that people who were born from the same mother's womb have a tacit understanding. Hearing that the elder sister is so sad, the younger brother also feels the same.

Seeing her daughter crying so hard, Mei Sanniang was suddenly shaken, looked at her dully, and gently stroked Xue'er's cheek with her hand.

He wanted to open his mouth to call Xue'er, but he didn't say it for a long time.

"Mom, just eat something."

Mei Sanniang was finally shaken, she shifted her eyes from her daughter to the bowl, looked at the bowl of kudzu root water, took it with trembling hands, and gulped it down.

Everyone saw that Mei Sanniang was finally willing to eat.

As long as Mei Sanniang can open her mouth to eat, it means that everything is going in a good direction.

Sometimes people's madness will gradually disappear with the influence of human nature and disappear without a trace. Since Mei Sanniang can listen to her daughter, it means that she still has perception and can tell that the girl in front of her is hers. Daughter Mei Xue.

"Sanniang, eat the kudzu root in it too!"

Mei Sanniang looked at the kudzu root in the bowl and picked it up with her hands, eating like a savage. Although the appearance of eating was a bit ugly, at least she ate it and didn't spit it out.

"Brother Erzhu, just eating these kudzu roots doesn't fill your stomach very much. I still have rice and chicken here, but there are no mushrooms. If there are mushrooms, we will stew an old hen to make up for Mei Sanniang. repair."

Xu Erzhu looked out the window and it was getting dark. Now that he was going to pick mushrooms, he probably had all the mushrooms, and he couldn't find any edible ones.

"You brought an old hen? I didn't see it, your pockets are so small!"

He Yu almost slipped the tongue, and quickly explained, "The chickens we brought are all dried chickens! We dried them. If you bring a live chicken, the whole chicken will fly!"

"When we go to the mountains tomorrow morning, we will probably be able to pick mushrooms!"

"I see. I really don't have enough brains. It's unrealistic to bring a live chicken, but why do you need so much food when you go out? It's not surprising to bring some dry food on the way, but I'll see you on the train. With cake and water, you thought you were on vacation? I almost thought you were running a shop!"

With a puff from Xiao Ling, she covered her mouth and smiled, "No, it's just that Xiao Yu is placed in an inconspicuous place."

After feeding Mei Sanniang, He Yu looked around and asked Brother Erzhu with concern, "Brother Erzhu, do you have any bedding and other things?"

Brother Er Zhu looked at the rags next to him, it was hard to imagine how they slept at night and how they survived the winter.

"Okay, I'll go home and get it! You wait for me."

After Xu Erzhu left, He Yu noticed the scar on Mei Sanniang's hand, which was a sign of frostbite.

"Xue'er, are you cold?"

Mei Xue shook her head, drinking a bowl of kudzu root water had already warmed up a lot.

"Would you like a snack?"

Mei Xue looked at He Yu suspiciously. She had never heard of snacks, so she didn't know what they were, but based on the name, they should be eaten.

"think."

He Yu smiled and took out a bag of dried fruit from his sleeve.

Mei Xue was startled. She had never seen snacks, let alone eat them. It was a blessing to be able to eat wild vegetables to fill her stomach.

Once material conditions are met, human desires crave security, care, and self-actualization.

"Try it."

I don't know if He Yu was too enthusiastic, Mei Xue was a little frightened, and she had never seen these snacks before, so she didn't know how to eat them.

She picked up a fruit in He Yu's pocket. The outer shell of the fruit was very hard, which she had never seen before, so she picked it up and bit it lightly, only to find that this hard thing was as unpalatable as a stone, without any taste.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling quickly stopped her and asked Mei Xue to spit it out. Mei Xue didn't know what happened, but she saw Xiao Ling's sister was very anxious.

"Xiao Yu, you don't even teach this child!"

He Yu looked helpless, "I didn't know this kid couldn't eat walnuts."

Xiao Ling glared at He Yu, scared him so much that he didn't dare to speak, then Xiao Ling taught Mei Xue, "Xue'er, this is called a walnut, and it needs to be shelled, you bring it to me, and I'll crack it open for you."

Xiaoling picked up the stone on the ground, smashed it lightly, revealing pieces of flesh inside, she carefully peeled off a whole piece, and handed it to Mei Xue's mouth.

"Is it tasty?"

Mei Xue had never eaten such a delicious food, and her tearful eyes welled up wildly again.

"Stupid child, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Ling hugged Mei Xue, she couldn't bear the child crying, when the child cried, her whole heart melted.

"Don't cry, don't cry, sister Xiaoling will be here in the future, tell her what you want to eat."

"Sister Xiaoling..."

Break through the door in a child's heart and enter her heart. It is not difficult to find that every child hopes that a bright light can appear in the darkness.
