Gu Chun held his little brother and fed him half a bowl of rice cereal. The child finally stopped crying and slowly fell asleep.

After putting him on the bed, the four siblings sat around the dining table and ate dinner together.

Because the family has five children and a sickly younger brother, and the material conditions in this era are indeed not very good, their dinner is multi-grain porridge with pickles.

Because his parents died, there was not much food left at home.

During this period, no sound was heard from the second brother Gu Xia. Gu Chun looked at him and found that his face was pale, and his already thin face now had no flesh at all.

Sighing secretly, Gu Chun gave him a piece of dried radish and said:

"Axia, don't worry so much. The factory leaders will come over tomorrow to give us our parents' wages. I will take over the work then and I can support you."

Gu Xia opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end no sound came out.

At this time, Gu Chun also noticed that something was wrong with him. He frowned, put down the bowl and chopsticks, held his shoulders and faced him, and asked:

"Axia, what's wrong with your voice? Say something and I'll listen."

Gu Xia's face became even paler, and her eyes instantly turned red. Her mouth was open, tears streaming down her face, and she gestured with her hands, pointing at her throat.

"Qiu'er, go get a pen and paper." Sensing something was wrong, Gu Chun asked Gu Xia to write for her.

Gu Qiu and Gu Dong on the side also looked at Gu Xia worriedly.

On that piece of paper, Gu Xia wrote: Sister, I am speechless.

This seemingly calm sentence made Gu Chun feel a pain in his heart.

The child doesn't know how long he has had problems, but in order not to make his family more sad, he never hid it or said anything.

After putting down the note, Gu Chun hugged his brother, patted his back and said to him:

"Axia, it's okay. Let's go see a doctor. You are just sick. You can get better by going to a doctor."

Gu Xia has always been afraid that her sister will be even more sad because of him, so Gu Xia has never dared to tell her sister.

When he wrote it down, he was very worried, afraid of adding a burden to his sister and afraid that he would be a drag.

Unexpectedly, his sister would suddenly hug him and comfort him.

At that moment, he could feel the distress in his sister's words, and suddenly felt a burst of happiness in his heart, like dry land being watered.

Even though he has lost his parents now, he still has his sister and younger brothers and sisters, and he has the love of his family.

He is the biggest man in the family, and he and his sister want to support the family together.

When Gu Qiu and Gu Dong saw their sister comforting their brother, they quickly came over to hug their brother and comfort him silently.

After dinner, I sent my younger siblings to bed.

Their family originally had two rooms in the courtyard. Later, a large room was separated by the parents, and there was a place for cooking and eating.

There was a bed in the big room. Originally, the parents took Gu Qiu and the younger brother to sleep, while the three older ones slept in another room.

Now Gu Chun has redistributed the rooms. She and her little brother sleep in their parents' room, while Gu Xia, Gu Qiu, and Gu Dong still sleep in the original room.

At night, when his younger brothers and sisters fell asleep, Gu Xia sat on the table, looking at Gu Xia's note, thinking in his mind.

She had heard of this disease before. It was caused by people suddenly receiving strong psychological stimulation, resulting in aphasia. The problem could only be solved through psychological counseling.

There were no psychiatrists in this era, but she still planned to take Gu Xia to the hospital to see if there was any way to treat him.

Tomorrow the factory leaders said they would come over to discuss compensation.

The parents' accident happened because of a fire in the factory. In order to rescue a batch of important supplies, they volunteered to run into the workshop and carry the supplies out.

As a result, the roof suddenly collapsed and they were all buried underground.

Several colleagues whose parents died together this time, totaling 10 casualties.

This is already considered a major incident. I imagine that in order to appease the masses, the factory leaders will definitely try their best to compensate the family members.

But what kind of compensation is best for them?
