Abandoning my husband and son, I raised my six daughters to live happily

"Gone."

Hearing Zhang Peng's words, Meng Suisui frowned subconsciously.

She had a vague feeling about it and asked.

"What do you mean it's gone?"

"Oh, I didn't want to tell you these terrible things. Now that I asked, I will tell the truth."

Zhang Peng took a deep breath, raised his head and spoke in a more relaxed tone.

"Hey, this is not a virus that came from some time ago. I don't know where it came from. A sheep in my family was tested positive for brucellosis. This thing is quite scary. It is said to be a zoonotic disease, easily transmitted to humans, and cannot be cured for life. Then my family The sheep found a big hole to bury them."

It turned out to be brucellosis.

Meng Suisui broke into a cold sweat when she heard these two words.

She had heard of this disease before. Its full name is brucellosis, which is an infectious disease caused by bacteria of the genus Brucella and can cause infections in a variety of animals and humans.

It is mainly infected through the skin, mucous membranes, digestive tract and respiratory tract. Well, you may get sick if you come into direct contact with the excrement of sick animals, contaminated food and water, or inhale dust containing bacteria.

If an animal at home is infected with brucellosis, it will spread rapidly and the owner is also likely to be infected.

Although this virus usually does not spread through direct contact between people, the possibility cannot be ruled out and vigilance is still required.

Meng Suisui was subconsciously worried about herself.

She asked.

"You and your wife haven't been infected with brucellosis, have you?"

Zhang Peng was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said.

"No, sister, don't worry, we dealt with it more timely here, because the virus was transmitted from other places, and it was more serious there. That place seems to be quite close to your place, because of the sick livestock there. There were a lot of them, so we also came down here to check, and when we found the virus, we quickly buried the entire flock of sheep, just to prevent the disease from continuing to spread. Then our water sources and other things have been tested and they are not contaminated. The sheepfold and everything have been disinfected.”

Zhang Peng seemed to be afraid that Meng Suisui would be worried, so he continued.

"I heard from experts that this thing is not easily contagious between people. Sister, don't be afraid. If you are really worried, just pay more attention to yourself. We all understand, and you don't have to be embarrassed."

Her defense gained the other party's tolerance and understanding.

Seeing Zhang Peng being so reasonable, Meng Suisui felt a little embarrassed.

She smiled awkwardly and said.

"As long as they all pass the disinfection test, I'm not just worried about myself, I'm also a little worried about you."

"Thank you sister, you are so kind."

"How many sheep do you have? Isn't the loss quite big this time?"

"There are 35 big sheep and 22 lambs. The couple of us have been busy for a whole year, taking care of these wooly ones. We originally planned to raise the lambs and sell them, but we didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing. There is no way to incur big losses, and no one wants this.”

35 plus 22, there are almost 60 in total.

For a family that relies on farming as its source of livelihood, this is tantamount to disaster.

Meng Suisui couldn't help but feel some sympathy, she asked.

"Don't you two have any land?"

"The government allocated the land. We didn't intend to make money by raising sheep. We rented out the land after we got married. The money from the land rental and the dowry money my wife brought was used to buy sheep."

Seeing Zhang Peng holding on with a wry smile, Meng Suisui couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

It's really not easy for this young couple.

I invested all my family's money in breeding and worked hard for a year, but in the end it was all in vain.

It’s true that the hemp rope only picks out the thinnest places to break, and the bad luck only seeks out the miserable people.

At this time, words were too weak, and she didn't know how to comfort the other person.

Dinner started soon after entering the house.

There is a large pot of vegetables in the middle of the dinner table. It is also the only meat dish on the table, stewed goose with pickled cabbage.

In addition, there are cabbage stewed vermicelli and a pile of pickles mixed with mustard strips.

"Brother, sister, this is the condition of our family. Don't be picky. Just eat with open stomach. Treat it as your own family. Don't be polite."

Zhang Peng took out a bottle of liquor and said with a smile.

"I saved this wine for the Chinese New Year. You just happened to be here, so let's drink it first."

Meng Suisui said a little embarrassedly when she heard that the other party was planning to keep it until the Chinese New Year.

"I'm sorry for costing you so much."

"It's okay, my family is the condition, as long as you don't dislike it."

Zhang Peng said that he was going to pour wine.

He first poured a cup and handed it to Song Youcai, then poured another cup and put it in front of Meng Suisui, talking.

"Sister, this cup is yours."

Being away from home, and with a group of people I don’t know that well.

Due to various considerations, Meng Suisui was not prepared to drink.

she said quickly.

"Brother, I won't drink today. When I have the opportunity, I will arrange for you and we sisters to have a good drink."

Zhang Peng nodded to express his understanding.

He took back the filled wine glass that was placed in front of Meng Suisui and placed it in front of himself.

he said with a smile.

"Okay, if you don't want to drink it, sister, don't drink it. I won't advise you. When the opportunity comes, let's drink it."

I was a little surprised that I wasn't persuaded to drink.

Meng Suisui subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, her affection for Zhang Peng and his wife soared.

Jiang Lingling poured a glass of water and put it in front of Meng Suisui, and said with a smile, "Sister, let's drink water."

Zhang Peng raised his glass to drink.

"Nothing else matters. It is fate that we are together. I am very happy to meet my brothers and sisters. I use this glass of wine to toast my brothers and sisters and to the destined people."

Meng Suisui and Song Youcai raised their glasses in honor of Zhang Peng and touched them.

Jiang Lingling's cooking skills are not bad, and the dishes she cooks are not unpalatable at least.

The only staple food is corn pancakes. There is almost no white flour in the pancakes, which makes them dry and choked.

Out of politeness, Meng Suisui ate the entire tortilla Jiang Lingling put in her bowl.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was harmonious, everyone was chatting away, Zhang Peng and Song Youcai were drinking wine, and everyone was very happy.

Meng Suisui did not get off the table after finishing her meal, but continued to sit at the table and chat with them.

Meng Suisui asked.

"What are your future plans as a couple?"

After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Peng was a little drunk.

Compared to before, he always swallowed the pain and showed his optimistic side to others.

Now his true inner emotions were more exposed.

Zhang Peng took a sip of wine and said.

"There are no plans to fight. Those are too far away. Now we two have to find a way to get through this year first."

The words are full of sadness.

The smile on Jiang Lingling's face faded, and she couldn't hold back tears for a moment.

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

Meng Suisui looked at the poor couple, picked up the water glass and took a sip.

Two young people who don't even know how to survive this year can still entertain them with the best things at home. This true love is commendable.

She wanted to help two people.

After thinking for a while, she asked.

"Do you want to continue farming after the new year, or do you want to do something else? Do you want to work in a factory?"
