Sixty hot wives have space

Li Zhishu brought Du Ruo to the second family.

As soon as he got close to the gate, Du Ruo heard a cry of children coming from the yard. When he looked up, he saw that the family's two thatched huts had collapsed;
Li Zhishu and Du Ruo were afraid that someone might have an accident, so they ran over quickly, the gate was open, and they entered the gate directly, Li Zhishu still shouted, "Zhao Erhei, Zhao Erhei..."

Du Ruo ran to the yard, saw several children standing in the yard, counted eight carefully;
The older one was more than ten years old, and the younger one was just over a year old. They couldn't even stand upright. A thin man was hurriedly moving things out of the house. A skinny man with a bulging belly The woman sat aside, her face was blue from the cold, and her body was shaking.

Among the eight children, the four younger ones were wearing single clothes and were crying from the cold, while the older ones were wearing black padded jackets with holes in them, the cotton inside was hardened into lumps, turning black It doesn't look warm.

This family is really poor, only the two thatched huts have collapsed. In addition to the two thatched huts, there is also a kitchen built with wooden boards, which has also collapsed long ago.

The yard was empty, Xiao Suo was quiet, seeing Li Zhishu and Du Ruo coming, Zhao Erhei hurried over, with a sad face, and spoke weakly, "Secretary, why are you here?"

Li Zhishu said unhappily, "It's snowing so hard, I'm worried that something will happen to your house, come and have a look."

Looking at the collapsed house, Li Zhishu was also a little worried.

Du Ruo walked up to the woman and asked with concern, "Sister-in-law Wu, are you okay?"

The woman's name is Wu Chunmiao. She is 32 years old and has given birth to eight children, with one still in her belly.

Seeing Du Ruo, Wu Chunmiao tried to force a smile on his frozen face, nodded slightly and said, "It's okay."

It's okay for the child to cry from the cold, but Wu Chunmiao's clothes are also very thin, her hands are covered with frostbite, her face is dark, and she hasn't washed it for an unknown amount of time.

Li Zhishu walked around the collapsed thatched hut, "Erhei, you can't live in this house, where should your family live?"

Zhao Erhei lowered his head and whispered, "I don't know where to go? I'll just freeze to death."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Erhei squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, looking helpless and desperate.

Du Ruo couldn't help but want to roll her eyes when she saw this, the family was already poor, yet they dared to have so many children, the poorer they became.

Li Zhishu came over to discuss with Du Ruo, "Du Ruo, what do you think we should do about this?"

Du Ruo is also worried, where should so many people live?

Li Zhishu thought for a while, and said, "The village committee has a total of six houses, and let them live in one room first.

In the spring of next year, I will ask the old and young men in the village to help and rebuild two thatched huts for their family.

Du Ruo nodded, "That's the only way."

Li Zhishu asked Zhao Erhei and Wu Chunmiao to pack up the things at home, and hurriedly followed him to the village committee. After Li Zhishu finished speaking, he picked up a child who was sitting on the ground, crying from the cold, and went to the village committee.

When Du Ruo saw him, he picked up another child and followed Li Zhishu.

These two children are two boys, who are just over one year old this year and are twins.

After Du Ruo picked up the child, his hands were frozen by the child's skin, the child was too cold;
After being picked up by Du Ruo, he went straight into Du Ruo's arms. The child was black and smelled faintly. There were chilblains all over his body, and some even bleed pus.
Du Ruo sighed inwardly, unbuttoned her padded jacket, hugged the child tightly in her arms, and wrapped the child in the padded jacket.

The little child felt the warmth, and finally stopped crying, lying softly and obediently in Du Ruo's arms, and the rest of the children followed behind Du Ruo very sensiblely.

The eldest child of Zhao Erhei and his wife is a girl. She is 15 years old this year. Because her family is poor, she often does not have enough to eat. She looks as thin as twelve or thirteen years old. The girl is very sensible and walks behind with Wu Chunmiao.

Zhao Erhei used a piece of rag to wrap the things he dug out from the house, carried them on his back, and walked at the back.

After arriving at the village committee, Li Zhishu carried the child into his office. The room was warmer with a stove burning. Li Zhishu asked the children and Wu Chunmiao to wait in the room. The cadres went to clean up the house.

After Zhao Erhei came, Li Zhishu also instructed him to work, but Zhao Erhei was slow no matter what he did, and he seemed a little dull.

Li Zhishu also complained to Du Ruo when no one was around, "They all say: more children are more blessings. In the case of Zhao Erhei's family, two or three children are enough, and they can't afford to have so many children. Both of them are brainless."

Du Ruo quite agrees with Li Zhishu's words. Parents are unreliable, and children are also very hard.

After the house was cleaned up, there was no kang in the house, so Li Zhishu built a stove for them, found bricks and planks, and built two wooden beds for them. After everything was cleaned up, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

Zhao Erhei's family is poor, but fortunately there are many children and there is enough firewood in the house. After the stove was turned on, the house was warmed up quickly.

After the children stopped being cold, they quickly recovered their vivacity, and the fights and fights were very lively.

Although Zhao Erhei had firewood at home, there was not much food left, so Secretary Zhao had to ask Du Ruo to send them two bags of food.

There were still several impoverished families in the village. After the matter of Zhao Erhei's family was settled, Li Zhishu and Du Ruo rushed to the third family.

When the two went there, they happened to see a boy about ten years old cleaning the yard. Li Zhishu saw him, smiled and shouted, "Damn boy."

The child named Maodaner looked up and saw Li Zhishu and Du Ruo, with a bright smile on his face, he hurried over to open the door.

"Secretary Li, Captain Du, why are you here?"

Li Zhishu smiled and said, "Come and see you, it's snowing heavily this time, do you need any help?"

Mao Dan is very sensible, he looked at Li Zhishu and Du Ruo with a trace of touch and gratitude in his eyes, and said politely,
"Secretary Li, Captain Du, thank you! I am fine with my grandfather, so there is no need to help."

Mao Dan's mother died of dystocia when she gave birth to him, and his father also died of illness two years ago, leaving him and his elderly grandfather at home, living a bit of hardship;

But this kid has an optimistic personality, cheerful and generous, and is good at studying. He often helps his grandfather with his work on weekdays.

Although Mao Dan'er said he didn't need to help, Li Zhishu and Du Ruo helped him clean up the snow from the yard and roof, and pulled him outside with a wooden cart.

By the time the work was done, it was already dark, and the wind became stronger and colder.

Li Zhishu put his hands into his sleeves and said to Du Ruo, "It's getting dark, you go back first, the last two are left, I can go alone."

How could Du Ruo let Li Zhishu go alone, and hurriedly said, "I have nothing to do, let's go with you."

Seeing that Du Ruo insisted, Li Zhishu had no choice but to agree.
