??Chapter 22 Wild Fruit
?? "Little friend, how old are you this year?" Song Xi thought this little girl was very cute, and seeing how old she was, she would say something like 'I've grown so big', as if she was very big.
Song Xi's sweet smile and gentle tone made the two children relax. They are no longer afraid or inferior. You know, since their mother was beaten away by their father, the children in the village laughed at them for not having a mother. Only the little aunt did not look down on them at all. The little girl looked up at Song Xi, "Little aunt, I am eight years old this year, and my brother is ten years old this year."
?? Song Xi nodded thoughtfully. It seems that the two children are malnourished and have not grown well. They look like they are two years younger than their real age.
Zhou Yi quickly washed the wild berries, put them in a sea bowl, and placed them in front of Song Xi. Under the watchful eyes of the two children, Song Xi took one and put it in his mouth. not bad.
??This mountain berry looks a lot like raspberry, March bubble, and April bubble, but those seem to be spring, and this mountain berry is summer, maybe it is not the same kind!
"The mountain berries are delicious, thank you, Xiaoshu, Xiaohua, my aunt has never eaten such delicious wild fruits!" After finishing speaking, Song Xi looked up at Zhou Yi again, "Brother Yi, please help me Bring two bowls of sugar water, and thank Xiao Shu and Xiao Hua for sending me wild berries."
??Xiaoshu and Xiaohua couldn't help swallowing when they heard the sugar water.
??They have never drank sugar water since they grew up, because their family has no money to buy it. Even if they have a little money, they still buy food, and it is impossible to buy sugar.
"Little aunt, we're not thirsty, let's leave it to my little aunt to take care of my body!" Xiaoshu, who hadn't spoken a word, couldn't help but waved his hands repeatedly. Although he was already drooling, he couldn't bear to take the patient Drink sugar water.
The sensible appearance of the two children touched Song Xi's heart. Modern children don't know how happy they are. At such an age, their pocket money is hundreds of thousands a day. It's not like children of this age who can even drink sugar water not on.
"Little aunt went to the hospital for a physical examination today, and I happened to buy some white sugar, and I made two bowls for you, so don't be embarrassed, besides, you also gave my little aunt such delicious mountain berries How about just treating it as my little aunt who exchanged sugar water with you?" Song Xi thinks that these two children are not bad, they can be raised well, and they will be drawn into her camp in the future.
??Although I am in poor health and can't do anything, what about the future?
?? It is impossible for her to be a modern independent woman who lives in the mountains all her life. She will definitely make a career, but the times do not allow her now, and she has to wait until the times allow.
?? Soon, Zhou Yi brought two bowls of sugar water, and the two children were too embarrassed to take it. Finally, under Song Xi's 'threat', they took the sugar water with both hands, and drank it slowly in small sips.
??It was getting dark, and the two children didn't stay here much. They left after drinking the sugar water. Song Xi gave each of them two pieces of white rabbit toffee, so that they could come and play when they had time, and the two children readily agreed.
After washing up, Song Xi and Zhou Yi sat on the bed. Zhou Yi gave Song Xi a good introduction to the two children. The little boy was Zhou Xiaoshu, who was ten years old this year, and the little girl was Zhou Xiaoshu's younger sister, Zhou Xiaohua, who was eight years old this year. The father was a bit violent and beat their mother away, leaving only two children. The two children lived under the hands of the violent father, and their lives were difficult.
?? Fortunately, their father could not find a stepmother, otherwise the life of the two children might be even more miserable.
?? Song Xi sighed insignificantly after hearing this, the life of little 'Song Xi' is worse than theirs!
?? "Daughter-in-law, what's the matter with you?" Seeing that the little daughter-in-law didn't respond, Zhou Yi leaned over. Now the candles that Song Xi 'bought' are lit in the room, which are much brighter than kerosene lamps.
??Song Xi's eyelashes were very long, and the shadows of the eyelashes fell down, like a small fan. Zhou Yi's heart was moved when he saw it.
"I just think that no matter how poor you are, you can't have poor education, and no matter how hard you are, you can't suffer children. After all, children are the hope and future of a family." Everyone is generally poor, and this is something that can't be helped. She is just an ordinary person, and there is no way to change it. Such a status quo.
?? "Daughter-in-law, trust me." Zhou Yi pulled Song Xi's hand over and held it in his palm. Trust me, it won't hurt you, let alone our future children.
Song Xi didn't understand what he meant by his words. After looking at him helplessly, she lay down and rested, but she turned her back to Zhou Yi. Although her eyes were closed, she was thinking about what to do in the future manage?
??If the development process of this parallel time and space is the same as the history she learned in modern times, then it will be a special era, and it is relatively safe to stay in the mountains or in the countryside.
??In this special era, it is hard to tell whether it is good or bad. Many good people have been framed, but many bad people have also been arrested.
??Modern people also have mixed praise and criticism for this era.
??In modern times, she saw such words on the Internet, "There is little joy in the history of human beings, and most of them are progressing through suffering." "In the long river of history, turbulence is actually the norm, and peace is just accidental."
??Suddenly, feeling an arm on her shoulder, Song Xi's heart trembled, "Brother Yi."
??It's summer, it's so close, it's hot!
?? And he is still so angry.
?? "Daughter-in-law, let me hug you for a while, just for a while." Zhou Yi leaned behind her, sniffing the faint fragrance of her body, and said in a low voice.
Song Xi, who was surrounded by heat sources, soon became sleepy. She didn't say anything, but closed her eyes. If Zhou Yi really wanted to do something to her, she would not be able to refuse with her small body, but she believed that Zhou Yi was not so An inhuman person took advantage of her when she was sick.
Although the temperature is lower at night, Song Xi is still sweating profusely in her sleep, but she can often feel a bit of coolness, and she doesn't know what's going on. It was already broad daylight, and seeing no one in the room, Song Xi took out his watch to check the time, it was already past ten o'clock.
??She slept for a long time, but eating well, drinking well and sleeping well can better repair her damaged body.
??Song Xi sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, and when he was about to put on his shoes, he suddenly heard the sound of conversation outside, which meant to Zhou Yi that he needed two ginseng plants and was in a hurry.
Thinking of his supermarket having a section for health supplements, Song Xi decided to look for an opportunity to go in and see if there was any ginseng in it. There probably wasn't a century-old ginseng, but there must be 20-30-year-old ginseng. There are American ginseng slices too!
