Hold His Hand

Lu Yanzhou hurriedly took his quilt to Xie Chengze to cover, so he didn't say much to the educated youths.

He picked up his quilt and left: "Xie Chengze still has something to do, so I'll go there first."

"Okay." The educated youths nodded one after another.

Seeing Lu Yanzhou disappear from their sight, everyone discussed: "If Lu Yanzhou wants to live with Xie Chengze, let's help him move later."

"What happened to Xie Chengze, should we go and see him?"

"I want to go, he is also very unlucky, how many eggs should we send him?"

……

Lianfeng Village is located on a plain, without natural resources such as mountains and forests, but there are many fertile lands that can grow food, and the life of the villagers is not bad.

If it weren't for this, Lu Yanzhou's parents would not have sent their two sons here to go to the countryside.

It is impossible for the educated youth here to eat and drink well, but it is still possible to fill their stomachs and occasionally eat an egg-they raise chickens for their heads.

Now that something like this happened to someone in the village, everyone decided to collect a few eggs and send them over.

There was also the village head who was going to see Xie Chengze and send something along the way.

The village couldn't afford Xie Chengze's medical treatment, so the village head thought about taking a hen from the village to Xie Chengze later as a condolence to the village.

Then give Lu Yanzhou another hen, and treat it as Lu Yanzhou's reward for taking care of Xie Chengze.

Thinking of this, the village head felt a little guilty.

He was afraid that Lu Yanzhou would repent, so when he returned to the village yesterday, he told about Lu Yanzhou's willingness to take care of Xie Chengze.

When the educated youths and the village chief were thinking about going to see Xie Chengze, Lu Yanzhou had already replaced all of Xie Chengze's bedding, and replaced his own bedding with Xie Chengze.

Xie Chengze was a little dazed: "What if I dirty your bedding?"

"If it's dirty, it's dirty, and I'll watch over you, and I'll definitely get you the chamber pot in time." Lu Yanzhou acted calmly, which reassured Xie Chengze a lot.

Xie Chengze couldn't help asking, "Why are you so nice to me?"

Lu Yanzhou opened his mouth and said, "I like you."

Xie Chengze covered his head with a quilt, Lu Yanzhou smiled and began to remove Xie Chengze's quilt.

Rural people don't pay attention to it. After the children in the family wet the bed, they basically use it to sleep in the sun.

This is also a helpless thing, most people do not have extra bedding.

But Lu Yanzhou didn't plan to just dry it out, he planned to take off Xie Chengze's quilt cover and wash it, and then find someone to flick the cotton core inside again—this quilt is too hard, how can it be used as a cover?

Ordinary families, with several members of the family, can always save some money to cut some cloth throughout the year. Their village can raise silkworms to grow cotton, and they can get cocoons and cotton to make new cotton clothes and quilts.

But Xie Chengze has nothing. In the past few years, he has been wearing the old clothes left by his parents and covering them with the old quilts left by his parents. Now more than ten years have passed, and these are all worn out!

The hardened quilt can't keep warm.

After Lu Yanzhou unpacked the changed bedding, he went to the kitchen and drank porridge with pickles.

This is Xie Chengze's food, but he will bring his food later, and there is no need to distinguish so clearly when the two eat together.

He has a lot of food.

The original owner's family was relatively wealthy, with good living conditions, and a strong body.

When he first came to the countryside, he didn't know how to do farm work, so he suffered a bit, but after getting started, he gradually got used to it.

In order to have a good reputation, he worked very hard, and he was given a full centimeter, and the food he got was far more than Xie Chengze.

The original owner also had parental subsidies, although most of them were used by him to do good deeds, but he kept some, otherwise he wouldn't have the money to buy brown sugar and pastries yesterday.

As soon as Lu Yanzhou finished eating, the educated youths came over. They looked at Xie Chengze, said a few words of comfort, left ten eggs, and went to work.

Lu Yanzhou didn't go and asked them to ask for leave.

Xie Chengze's situation has not stabilized yet, he has to move, and he has no time to go to work today.

After they left, Lu Yanzhou took the chamber pot and came to the bedside: "Ah Ze, you drank porridge in the morning, go to the bathroom."

Xie Chengze drank a big bowl of brown sugar porridge in the morning, so it's time to go to the toilet.

Xie Chengze froze: "I'll do it myself..."

"I'm coming, you have to get used to it slowly," Lu Yanzhou said, "And I've seen it before, so what are you afraid of?"

Xie Chengze was stunned and let Lu Yanzhou untie his pants.

Lu Yanzhou asked Xie Chengze to go to the bathroom, put down the chamber pot and said, "You sleep for a while, I'll go and bring my things here."

Xie Chengze asked: "Do you really want to take care of me?"

Lu Yanzhou said: "Really. You wait for me at home, and eat some cloud cakes when you are hungry."

After Lu Yanzhou finished speaking, he fed the grass he cut last night to the two sheep, and then walked to the educated youth spot.

The original owner didn't have many things, at least much less than his younger brother Lu Hongxing, after all he always helped others.

But his things are of good quality, so Lu Yanzhou packed them up.

At the same time, Xie Jia, someone came again.

There are no secrets in the small village, everything that needs to be known about Xie Chengze's paralysis is known.

It's just that I don't know him very well, so I'm too embarrassed to come to the door. If I know him well... I'm afraid that I will be stalked after I come to the door, so I have to take care of him.

Although the village chief said yesterday that educated youth Lu was willing to take care of Xie Chengze, maybe after a few days of taking care of him, he would not be happy anymore?

At that time, the village head will definitely find someone who has a good relationship with Xie Chengze to take care of him.

It wasn't until the village chief discussed with the villagers and confirmed that Lu Yanzhou would take care of Xie Chengze with two hens, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then followed the village chief to see Xie Chengze.

Unlike pigs, every household has chickens, that is, they are not allowed to raise more, so they have no objection to Xie Chengze's chicken.

By the way, Xie Chengze doesn't raise chickens, he has no food.

When we arrived at Xie Chengze's house, the village chief was a little worried when he saw that Lu Yanzhou was not there, but he felt relieved when he saw Xie Chengze's quilt in a blink of an eye.

It was Lu Zhiqing's quilt. When the two brothers came here with brand new and beautiful quilts, everyone went to watch it.

What's more, there was an unpacked Yunpian Cake next to the bed.

"Xiao Xie, we're here to see you." The village chief said hello and asked, "Where is educated youth Lu?"

Xie Chengze whispered: "He went back to get his things."

"I see! Have you had breakfast yet?"

"Ate."

"It's good to eat it. Lu Zhiqing will live with you in the future and take care of you by the way, you know? Don't worry, Lu Zhiqing is a good person and will take good care of you. Yesterday he asked me to buy brown sugar again. He asked me to buy Yunpian Cake...it costs a lot of money, so he is willing to do it." The village head talked a lot, and also talked about giving Xie Chengze two chickens.

In fact, the village chief wanted to give Xie Chengze the lowest centimeter at the beginning, so that he could share some things with him at the end of the year, but many people in the village disagreed, saying that there are old people in their family who can't work, if Xie Chengze can get this The benefits, then they also want.

So the village chief didn't mention it.

But the village will also distribute some food according to the head, Xie Chengze should... not starve to death?

Alas, Xie Chengze hasn't been alive for a few years. Throughout the ages, which paralyzed person didn't lie in bed for a few years before lying down to death?

The village chief had spoken, and the people who followed him said a few more or less words.

Xie Chengze was lying on the bed, seeing some of them showing sympathy and some gloating.

He has never had a sense of presence in the village.

When his mother passed away, it happened to be a time of serious natural disasters, and people in the village starved to death at that time, and no one wanted to raise such an incompetent oil bottle like him.

His grandparents said everywhere that he was celibate, and everyone in the village avoided him. Even if someone felt sorry for him and gave him something to eat, they would put it at the door of his house at night, not daring to be seen or let him see. Afraid of being entangled with him.

It was not so difficult later on, but everyone was used to it, so they kept him at a respectful distance.

This is the first time that so many people have come to him to "care" about him.

After all, these people came to see him, so they left some things behind, but when they left, Xie Chengze only looked at the cloud cake by the bedside.

He took it in his hand, tore a piece and put it in his mouth.

This cake is very sweet, the sweetest thing he has ever eaten.

Although Lu Yanzhou is unlikely to take care of him all the time, but someone once cared about him, so his life is not in vain.

As soon as Lu Yanzhou came back, he saw the two chickens and learned of the village head's decision. He was a little happy: "With these two chickens, we will have eggs to eat in the future."

Nowadays, there are regulations that cannot raise more chickens, and two people are allowed to raise one.

For example, a family of six people is only allowed to raise three chickens, and if there are seven people, it can raise one more chicken and four chickens.

The educated youths in the educated youth spot raised a few chickens together, but most of the chickens were not available to him... He was planning to buy one and keep it for Xie Chengze to eat eggs.

"Not enough food..."

"I'll figure it out. Next year, we can catch two ducks to raise." Lu Yanzhou said.

Although there are many regulations in the village, Xie Chengze's situation is special. He asked the village chief to talk about it, and it should be accommodating.

He's not going to go too far, is he?

As Lu Yanzhou spoke, he began to tidy up his things, and said, "I brought most of my rations, and some of them were put together with other people. I'll share them later in the evening."

The educated youths at the educated youth point were divided into men and women to fire separately. They handed in the same amount of food at the beginning of each month, weighed it for cooking, and divided it equally after cooking.

Cooking together in this way can save firewood. As for why men and women are separated, one pot cannot cook for everyone, and secondly, female educated youths eat less than male educated youths.

The original owner has already handed in this month's grain, and he can go get it back later.

In addition, when the village collects food, sweet potatoes, etc., it will be distributed at that time, but at the end of the year, some things will still be distributed, and money will be distributed according to work points.

The original owner worked hard this year, so he should be able to get quite a lot... After Lu Yanzhou settled the score, he felt a lot easier.

After tidying up, Lu Yanzhou went to cook again.

The lack of firewood is really a big problem, and it’s no wonder that in ancient times, big families liked to live together—so many people cook and eat together, and a lot of firewood can be saved.

Lu Yanzhou took enough rice for two meals and put it in the pot, then cut two slices of the original owner's bacon and threw it in.

Then, he took a bowl, put four eggs in it, added a little water and put it on the steaming rack, and pulled two radishes from the private area by the door, cut them up, and steamed them with pickles.

As for the radish tassels, throw them directly into the sheepfold.

After the water boiled for a while, Lu Yanzhou stopped - the residual temperature in the stove was enough to cook the rice.

When Lu Yanzhou was cooking, he put the leftover porridge from the morning on the lid of the pot. The porridge was already warm, so he took it to look for Xie Chengze: "We won't be able to eat until later, come, drink some first." water."

Xie Chengze shook his head: "No need."

"Have a drink."

"I don't want to drink." Xie Chengze refused to open his mouth.

Lu Yanzhou thought for a while, and he knew why Xie Chengze refused to drink, most likely because he was afraid that he would want to go to the bathroom after drinking.

Otherwise... Xie Chengze drank some porridge in the morning, and ate dry cloud cake in the middle, he should be thirsty by now.

If he hadn't boiled water, he wouldn't be giving Xie Chengze porridge soup right now.

"If you don't drink, I'll go out and tell you that I like men." Lu Yanzhou said again, it doesn't matter if it's old, as long as it works.

Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou with complicated eyes.

Lu Yanzhou said: "Drink it, I didn't boil the water, so you can drink some of this first."

Xie Chengze still drank slowly.

After he finished drinking, Lu Yanzhou took the chamber pot and let him go to the bathroom, and then went out to fetch water.

There is a well in the temple that is used as the compound of the village committee, and most of the villagers go there for drinking water.

As for laundry or something, just go to the river to pick it up.

Lianfeng Village can also be regarded as a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. This is a place where there is no shortage of water.

When Lu Yanzhou brought back the water he drank, he was ready to eat. He filled a bowl of rice, served the two slices of bacon in the rice to Xie Chengze, peeled two eggs for him, put them in the bowl, and served them together. give him.

"I'll eat this, how about you?" Xie Chengze asked.

"I also have meat, but others gave you eggs." Lu Yanzhou said.

Xie Chengze looked deeply at Lu Yanzhou: "Why are you so kind to me?"

"I've said it before, I like you." Lu Yanzhou emphasized again.

Xie Chengze was holding the bowl, staring blankly at the oily white rice and the two eggs, a little dazed.

Is there really someone... who likes him so much?

Lu Yanzhou is such a good person, why do you like him?

"Eat, eat more, so that you can take care of your body early." Lu Yanzhou urged him to eat.

At the same time, the villagers had already left work and were going home for lunch.

There is no work in winter, that is, weeding the wheat and rapeseed in the fields, so this morning, everyone is talking about new things in the village.

Xie Chengze was paralyzed, and Lu Yanzhou was going to take care of him!

"This educated youth Lu is really nice."

"You just found out today?"

"Lu Zhiqing is a big man, and I don't know if he can take good care of him."

"Lu Zhiqing is still very careful, and with Xie Chengze like this, it's good to be alive, so don't be too particular."

"Xie Chengze is lucky to have educated youth Lu take care of him."

"Oh, Lu Zhiqing can't take care of him for a few days. Lu Zhiqing is not young, and he is going to get married. Now he can still look after him. When Lu Zhiqing gets married, he will no longer be able to take care of him."

……

Lu Hongxing was very unhappy to hear people around him praise Lu Yanzhou so much.

My elder brother knew that although his fourth brother could pretend, he never wanted to suffer.In their house before, every time his parents wanted to give him something because he was the youngest, his fourth brother would resort to tricks and ask his parents to share half of what was originally intended for him alone.

Lu Hongxing said: "My brother is not that kind. He went to take care of Xie Chengze. Maybe he fell in love with the chicken and eggs that the villagers gave Xie Chengze. When he eats up all the food, he will definitely ignore Xie Chengze."

The male educated youth who was about Lu Hongxing's age and called Lu Yanzhou "Brother Lu" was Liu Tongming. He was annoyed when he heard the words: "Lu Hongxing, you are too much. Brother Lu is so good, and you still speak ill of him behind his back!"

Lu Hongxing said: "I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, let's go to Xie Chengze's side now. My brother must be eating Xie Chengze's eggs."

His brother is greedy, he used to help others, and he only gave them bad food... He didn't believe that his brother would not eat eggs!

Liu Tongming said, "Just go!"

Going to Xie Chengze's house was on the way, so a few educated youths went together.

People in the village don't close the door during the day, and if they want to go through the door, they go in directly. When they went in, they saw Lu Yanzhou coming out of Xie Chengze's house.

Xie Chengze leaned on the bed and was eating. The snow-white rice was covered with two slices of bacon, and there were two eggs in it, which looked tempting.

The educated youth swallowed subconsciously.

Lu Yanzhou asked, "Why are you here?"

"Lu Yanzhou, don't you want to move your place? Do you want us to help?" an older educated youth asked. They couldn't say that they came to see Lu Yanzhou for something to eat.

"I've already moved," Lu Yanzhou smiled, and filled himself with a bowl of rice, mixed it with pickles, "but I'll go to see you at night, um, I have to share a share of the rations I pay for."

"It should be." The educated youth said immediately.

The educated youths came and went with a whoop.

They didn't know whether Lu Yanzhou had eaten Xie Chengze's eggs.

But they saw just now that Xie Chengze covered Lu Yanzhou's quilt, and the bowl of rice was full of good ingredients.

Besides, the village doesn't kill pigs now, and the villagers don't have bacon, but Lu Yanzhou has...

Everyone looked at Lu Hongxing in the wrong way!

Lu Hongxing was short of breath, and on the way to work after eating, he couldn't help but said: "My brother likes to be clean, he can cook for Xie Chengze, but he certainly won't wash and scrub Xie Chengze, Xie Chengze is paralyzed on the bed, not yet Know what it's going to be like."

Liu Tongming just went to the countryside this year. When he first came, he knew nothing. It was Lu Yanzhou who taught him little by little, so he respected Lu Yanzhou very much.

At this moment, Liu Tongming pointed at Lu Yanzhou who was not far away by the river beach and sneered: "You said your brother won't wash Xie Chengze? Look who is that!"

On the edge of the river beach, Lu Yanzhou was washing clothes and quilts.

Those things are obviously not his.

Lu Hongxing: "..." What happened to his brother?Possessed by a ghost?

Lu Yanzhou didn't know what Lu Hongxing planned for him in private.

He had seen the memory of the original owner, and the original owner didn't like this younger brother very much, and he didn't plan to have more contact with Lu Hongxing.

The two elder brothers and one older sister in front of the original owner were three to five years apart in age. The original owner and his younger brother were said to be two years apart in age, but in fact they were only one and a half years old.

The original owner's mother was only eight months after giving birth to the original owner, and she was pregnant with the original owner's younger brother. After that, she had no time to take care of the original owner, and left the original bishop to the elders.

The original owner returned to his parents when he was six years old and was studying. Seeing that his younger brother, who was about the same size as him, was getting close to his parents, but he was left alone and asked to let his younger brother go. Naturally, he was not happy.

However, the original owner did not suffer materially. He ate well when he was with his grandparents. After returning to his parents... he learned to pretend to be good without a teacher. When the younger brother didn't go to school, he said: "Your brother is so courageous. I dare not fight."

The younger brother did not pass the exam, so he said: "My younger brother is so smart, he can do so well in the exam without doing homework. I worked very hard to get a good grade in the exam."

He will also rush to do housework: "Mom and Dad, I feel sorry for you!"

……

Even going to the countryside... The original owner's younger brother quarreled and refused to go to the countryside. After the original owner knew that he had to go to the countryside, he was very active. That was enough goodwill in front of his parents.

The behavior of the original owner can be called "green tea" for future generations, but no matter how teased he is, the parents of the original owner are still partial to the younger son, and the younger brother of the original owner is even a bit bearish. trouble.

Lu Yanzhou would not fight for favor with Lu Hongxing, but it was impossible to praise Lu Hongxing. As for the original owner's parents, he would definitely repay the favor of nurturing in the future.

In his previous life, his parents lived a good life in their later years.

It's quite interesting to say that after Xie's family was acquired in his previous life, his dude cousin Xie Chengyun actually changed his mind, and later on he was quite promising, and his aunt also changed her personality to show her kindness to them.

It was only later that he found out that Xie Yuan was not very close to his aunt. Xie Yuan wanted to kill Xie Chengze, and even scared his aunt and his cousin. The two felt that Xie Yuan had always used them as a shield. Maybe if you give the entire company to An Chenyuan, you will be "really enlightened".

But even so, Lu Yanzhou still had very little contact with Xie Chengyun in his previous life, so in this life...he didn't plan to befriend Lu Hongxing either.

Back at Xie's house, Lu Yanzhou dried his clothes and quilts, and went to take care of Xie Chengze to go to the toilet. At night, he even boiled a pot of water.

While the water was boiling, Lu Yanzhou stopped by to heat up the noon meal on the steamer, and after the meal was over, he used the hot water in the pot to wipe Xie Chengze's body.

Xie Chengze didn't stop him this time. He looked at the man who had been busy all day cleaning his body and pressing his legs. He couldn't help but said, "Aren't my legs ugly? My lower body doesn't respond at all... you can Like me, don't you want me like this? Can you bear it?"

Although Xie Chengze was young, he heard a lot of nasty talk from the men around him when he was working, so he was very clear about the things between men and women.

He was paralyzed, Lu Yanzhou couldn't do anything with him, could Lu Yanzhou really accept it?

Lu Yanzhou looked at Xie Chengze, very calmly: "It's okay, I actually... won't raise it."
