"Ah Wan is right, no matter what happens, our life now will never be worse than before.

Erping, stop crying, go wash your hands, it's time to eat. "

Mrs. Lin put the plate she was holding on the table. It was rare to see Cheng Erping like this. She didn't curse, but spoke in a gentle manner.

The crops in the field were not harvested, and Mrs. Lin was naturally heartbroken.

But it’s already like this. God is not willing to fulfill it, and no one can do anything about it.

In fact, the main reason why Mrs. Lin is still calm now is that she feels that the situation of the Cheng family is very different now compared to before.

There is no harvest in the fields for a while, and I will starve to death.

Since you can't starve to death, you can still accept other bad things calmly.

At the dinner table, Cheng Dabao took a big mouthful of rice porridge, swallowed it, and said, "After dinner, I will go to Lijia Village with my second son to see the village chief and others."

Mrs. Lin nodded, "It's time to go and have a look. The temperature has dropped so sharply that the village chief and the others probably don't have thick clothes and quilts. Go and see if there is anything you need help with. If you can help, I'll lend a hand." .”

As she said that, Mrs. Lin sighed deeply: "Oh! The village chief and the others have just settled down, and it's... really difficult!"

"Dad, bring some money. The village chief and others will probably borrow the money. It's cold, so we have to buy some cotton to make bedding."

Cheng Wan lowered her head and wiped the rice grains from the corners of Gu Yu's mouth with a handkerchief. There was still a worry in her heart that she had not expressed.

Someone in Village Chief Jia's group is afraid that he will get sick.

Their bodies were already weak, and with the sudden drop in weather and lack of thick clothing, it was entirely possible for them to fall ill.

Cheng Daniu was about to open his mouth to agree when Cheng Wan and the others suddenly heard someone shouting loudly outside.

"Grandma Lin!"

"Uncle Daniel!"

"Uncle Erniu!"

Cheng Daniu stood up suddenly and looked out, still holding the bowl in his hand.

"Why does my voice sound like Dazi's!"

Da Zi is Jia Sheng's eldest grandson, named Jia Da. He is the same age as Cheng Daping, but he is already married.

Mrs. Lin patted Cheng Daniu's lower back and said anxiously: "What do you mean by a look! It's Da Zi. Something must have happened to the village chief and the others. Go out and have a look!"

Cheng Daniu put the bowls and chopsticks on the table, raised his feet and ran out. Cheng Erniu quickly followed.

Jada has already run into Cheng Erniu's yard.

Seeing Cheng Daniu and Cheng Erniu, Jada didn't have time to take a breath, so she gasped and said quickly: "The village...the village chief has a fever and is...not awake. There are a few...several children who are also feverish, and a few uncles." We borrowed a bullock cart from a family in Lijia Village and sent them...to see a doctor in the city. We have no...no money,"

Jada wiped the tears from her eyes with her hands, and there was a cry in her voice when she spoke.

"My father asked me to come to you to borrow...borrow money."

Mrs. Lin, who had already come out of the house, slapped her thigh vigorously, with an anxious look on her face.

"Ouch! Hurry! Daniel, take the money and go to the city!"

Cheng Daniu hurried to hitch the carriage without saying a word, "Daughter-in-law, go up to the house and get some money. Get more."

Wang turned around and ran towards the house.

Mrs. Xiao Lin hurried over with a bowl of steaming rice porridge and a pair of chopsticks, "Quick, it's still hot. Take a few sips to warm your stomach first."

Jada took the bowl and chopsticks with both hands, and a teardrop fell into the bowl, causing ripples.

"Thank you, aunt."

"Thank you, drink quickly."

Xiao Lin looked at Jada's thin clothes and her ears and hands that were purple from the cold, and wanted to find some thick clothes for him to wear, but she really didn't have any extra thick clothes at home.

I didn't expect that the temperature would suddenly drop so sharply, so I only rushed out a pair of thick clothes for everyone in my family.

At this moment, Cheng Wan strode out of the room with two old quilts in her arms.

"Second brother, I got this from you and third brother's room. You put it on Brother Da Zi."

It wasn't that Cheng Wan was reluctant to take it from his house. In ancient times, everything had to be considered to avoid suspicion.

Jada shook her head while holding the bowl, "No, I'm not...not cold."

It's not cold yet, and my teeth are chattering when I speak.

Cheng Erping took the quilt from Cheng Wan's hand, neatly draped it over Jada's shoulders, and even pulled it smoothly for Jada.

"Thank you... thank you..."

Jada's nose felt sore and she wanted to cry again.

Cheng Erping patted Jada on the back, pretending to be impatient and said: "Okay, drink your rice porridge quickly, otherwise it will get cold."

Cheng Daniu led the carriage out of the yard and ran into Li Sanzhu who was running over in a hurry.

"I just heard someone calling you? What happened? What happened?"

Cheng Daniu quickly finished the matter in two sentences, "Sanzhu, take care of your family. Erniu and I will go to the city to find the village chief and others."

"Do you know which medical center they are in? Shuoyang City is so big? You can't look for it street by street, right?"

Li Sanzhu's face was full of worry.

In ancient times, catching cold and fever was a big deal.

Jia Da finished the rice porridge in several mouthfuls. When he heard Li Sanzhu's question, he quickly said, "My father said that he would ask Uncle Tiezhu to wait for us at the city gate and take us to the hospital."

The uncle Tiezhu mentioned by Jia Da is also named Jia and is his clan uncle.

Cheng Daniu drove the carriage, carrying Cheng Erniu and Jada away.

Mrs. Lin looked at the back of the carriage as it drove away, and patted the apron around her waist bitterly, "What is all this?!"

Cheng Daniu and Cheng Erniu were not at home, and Cheng Wan and Mrs. Lin were not idle either.

The soybeans in the ground were dumped there. It was impossible to keep them growing. They had to be brought back from the ground.

The soybeans were almost gone, and there was no need to rush to plant the next crop of food, so Mrs. Lin insisted this time that her family would pick up the soybeans themselves.

“Before, I was anxious to plant the bean seeds as soon as possible, but now it’s like this. Although the weather is cold, it doesn’t rain or snow.

Let's not be in a hurry, let's do it slowly. It's cold and we can keep warm while working. "

Because they had to do farm work, Mrs. Lin also asked Cheng Sanping, Li Zhuang and Mr. Fang to take two days off and asked them to work in the fields.

Mrs. Xiao Lin tried to stop her, saying that she couldn't delay studying. Mrs. Lin retorted confidently: "Then the whole family works in the fields, so why are they the only ones who have the most money? It's not like they've been studying for two days, and they're already several years old. You can't be worse than the sisters at home.

Besides, I didn’t let them do it all the time. If I do it for two days, it can be regarded as a contribution to the family, and their food will be more delicious. "

Mrs. Lin's words were well founded. Not to mention Xiao Lin, even Cheng Wan was convinced by Mrs. Lin.

So, except for Cheng Hua and Li Yuan who took Gu Yu at home, everyone else went to work in the fields under the leadership of Mrs. Lin.

When Cheng Erniu came back from the city with his bullock cart, Cheng Wan and the others were still busy in the fields.
