Chapter 11: Moved again

In the room, there was the cry of the four brothers and sisters. Through the tears, Gu Xiaowan saw the three younger siblings crying bitterly, stopped the tears, and wiped the eye sockets with the cuffs of the cotton-padded jacket that had been indistinguishable.
This house is so shabby, so poor, and there are four mouths to eat, so she can no longer tolerate her lying down.
She wants to get better now, get better soon.
Gu Xiaowan stopped crying, stretched out her hand to pull the children in front of her, gently wiped the tears off the faces of the three younger siblings, and then told them: "Don't cry. My sister just missed my father and mother."
Gu Ningan, Gu Ningping, and Gu Xiaoyi stopped crying. When I heard my sister say that I missed my parents, she nodded fiercely and said in unison: "Sister, I miss my parents too."
Gu Xiaowan nodded: "I know, I know that my Ning An, Ning Ping, and Xiao Yi are the best children." Gu Xiaowan said a name and looked at who tenderly. In her eyes, there was maternal love and determination that she hadn't noticed.
As the saying goes, the eldest sister is like a mother. The oldest sister is the mother of the children below!
At this moment, Gu Xiaowan finally understood the meaning of this sentence. No matter what suffering they have suffered in the past, from now on, her Gu Xiaowan, the 21st world's Gu Xiaowan, is alive again. Although she is only eight years old in body, she has a 28-year-old soul and experience.
She believes that as long as they have a flexible mind, a pair of hard-working hands, and a united family, they will one day get rid of this destiny of poverty.
Gu Xiaowan looked around this dilapidated home with three obedient siblings, then hugged them and said firmly: "Listen, from now on, we will work together to live a good life. My sister will let you have You can eat enough to eat, and you can put on warm clothes."
Gu Xiaoyi didn't dare to say anything big, she didn't know enough about this era, she didn't know what this era was like, but she didn't dare to say anything else, she must do it to keep her three younger siblings from starving and freezing. .
The three children looked at Gu Xiaoyi's firm eyes, heard her firm tone, and nodded heavily.
On the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, others are happily preparing for the new year, singing and laughing, and here they are cold and cold, but the three young hearts are warm.
Gu Xiaowan firmly believes that with their efforts, they will be able to get better.
On the second day, Gu Xiaowan felt that her body was not so weak anymore, her head did not rise, and she got up early.
It was still dark outside, and Gu Xiaowan Gu felt that it might be around six o'clock in modern times. By this time, she should have gotten up and went to work. The work and rest habits of the previous life make Gu Xiaowan's life very regular, unless the night shift is over the night before.
There is only one Kang in the house, and the four children are all crowded together. The soil kang is very ice, and the wood at home is not enough to burn, so there is no extra wood to burn the kang.
auzw.com The four children can only hug each other. Gu Ning'an and Gu Ningping are close to each other, and Gu Xiaoyi is also close to Gu Xiaowan.
When Gu Xiaowan got up, she moved very softly, for fear of waking the fourth child. However, the tip-eared woke up. I don't know if he was awakened or if he was already awake.
Gu Ning'an watched Gu Xiaowan get up, and quickly lowered her voice and said anxiously: "Sister, you are not in good health, please lie down and rest."
Gu Xiaowan hurriedly stretched out her index finger and hissed: "Be quiet."
Then he didn't stop his hands and feet, and put on his clothes in Gu Ning'an's worry. Then he gently pressed the cup to Gu Xiaoyi, and when he saw Gu Xiaoyi's sleepy face, which was thin and not half fleshy, his heart felt painful.
This family needs food too much. These children have a problem with eating enough.
Gu Ning'an quickly got dressed, got off the kang, pulled Gu Xiaowan's clothes, and said distressedly: "Sister, you just happen to be, and your body is still weak. Go and rest quickly. I'll cook breakfast."
Gu Xiaowan shook her head, rubbed Gu Ning'an's hair caressingly, and said: "Where is my sister so fragile, I have been lying in bed for seven or eight days, and I am well soon. If I lie down, I will almost lie down. "
Gu Ningan had no choice but to promise: "Okay! Sister, I will help you!"
Gu Xiaowan did not refuse, nor could she tolerate her refusal. First, she didn't want to refute Gu Ning'an's kindness. Gu Ning'an is the eldest son in the Gu family. In such a dilapidated home, Gu Ning'an should also take up the responsibilities of the family earlier. Second, she really doesn't understand this family. I'm afraid to make any strange behavior, everyone will think she is a monster!
Therefore, it is better to be with someone familiar with the situation. At the very least, if you have done something wrong, you can burn your brain. Some people are not good at making this sentence.
Although Gu Xiaowan had already seen such a poor house and was already prepared, when she went outside, she was taken aback by the poor house and took a breath.
There are only two rooms in this house. One is the big room where Gu Xiaowan is still standing, which is the one where Gu Xiaowan slept just now, and the other is a small one made of simple wood. The house, let's call it a small kitchen. An earthen stove was built inside to connect the earthen kang in the big room. When the fire is burning for cooking in winter, it also warms the earthen kang by the way.
There is some firewood at the entrance of the kitchenette, but the quantity is very small. Gu Xiaowan searched for memory. These children were very young and couldn't cut firewood, so they could only pick up or break the very fine branches of firewood. There is a water tank in the small kitchen. The water tank is covered with a wooden board. The depth and depth of the water tank are traces of cutting vegetables with a knife. It seems that this wooden board is still a cutting board. A calabash scoop is on the cutting board. There are two wooden barrels stacked next to the water tank, and a wooden pole is standing beside the wooden barrels.
There is also a rag bag next to it. Gu Xiaowan looked at it. It can be said that there is no ammunition and food. Save a little. It is estimated that it is enough for sorghum noodles for one morning and one lunch.
There is no rice, no white noodles, and no vegetables.
The whole Gu’s family can eat, probably only half a catty of sorghum noodles, and half a jar of water.
Gu Xiaowan pouted her lips worriedly, let's take a look first.
