"I don't have a fever now. Drinking this is just right. It can prevent inflammation and clear away heat." Shen Chengrun said, handing the cloth bag in his hand to Shen Qingya, "This is the cornmeal I bought just now, you cook it Well, let's all have cornmeal porridge today."

Shen Chengran, who was helping with the housework, suddenly raised his head and looked at Shen Chengrun with sparkling eyes when he heard Shen Chengrun's words. Although he hadn't eaten it yet, his saliva had already flowed down thinking of the taste.

Chuck, Shen Chengran wiped the corners of his mouth in disappointment.

Shen Chengrun looked at it both funny and heartbroken. When the Shen family and his wife were still alive, when the Shen family and his wife were still alive, the Shen family siblings would not eat this kind of food, they used it to feed the pigs at home.

"No!" Shen Qingya flatly refused, "Cornmeal is so expensive, it costs several copper dollars a catty. Chengrun, you are sick now, your health is not good, and you need to recuperate. You can just eat it yourself. Cheng and I still eat bran, There's still some chaff in the house."

"Although we have money in our hands now, it's only a few cents, and we don't need to spend it. Besides, we have to fund the second half of the semester. It's best to have some spare money at home, just in case..." Shen Qingya As she chattered, her brows and eyes were gradually stained with melancholy. At the age of 15, she was supposed to be the most beautiful time in the Mood for Love, a carefree youth.But this girl has already used her immature shoulders to bear the burden of the family that is as heavy as a mountain.

Shen Chengrun sat on a small stool to rest, because of the vigorous running just now, his limbs are weak now, and his body is really weak.

But what made him feel even more distressed was the siblings of the Shen family. He saw that after hearing Shen Qingya's words, the bright light in Shen Chengran's big eyes suddenly disappeared.Reverted to the grayness of the past, but remained sensible and silent, and did not make any noise.

Thinking about the life of these two siblings again, one relies on doing laundry, sewing, etc. to make ends meet, and the other relies on going out to beg or pick up garbage to subsidize their living, and the oldest of these two children is only 15 years old, and the youngest is only [-] years old, how can they Can it not make people feel distressed.

Shen Chengrun's voice was gentle, full of love for the Shen family's siblings. Although he was the same age as Shen Qingya, his psychology was not after all. He unconsciously put himself on the responsibility of an elder, and said in an elder's tone: "Let's eat together." , although I am the only patient in this family, both of you also need nutritional supplements. Don't worry about money, if either of you falls ill because of your weak health, it will make things worse, and the money you need will be much more than this .”

Shen Qingya was silent, looked at Shen Chengran, and saw her little brother there obediently helping her with things, obviously greedy to death, but not noisy, if parents were still there, how could my little brother...

Thinking of this, Shen Qingya's nose became sore, her eye circles turned red, she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, then we will eat together for this meal, but we can't eat like this for the next meal."

Shen Chengrun smiled, but didn't answer, he always had a way to persuade Shen Qingya to eat the same food as him.

Shen Chengran was much younger. Hearing the elder sister's agreement, he jumped up in cheers, "Sister, I'm going to fetch water."

In less than a minute, Shen Chengran ran back again, his small face was puffed up, and his eyes were wide open. He was already thin and big, but with anger, his eyes became bigger and more protruding.

"The bucket is gone. I don't know who picked up the bucket at home. It must be Aunt Hua. I'll ask her to come back." Shen Chengran ran out after finishing speaking.

Then came Aunt Hua's loud insults from the yard, "Little bastard, whoever you are slandering, just give me your bucket, give it to me, I will not hesitate to ask for it. Things used by sick ghosts, there is no bad luck!"

Shen Chengrun was afraid that Shen Chengran would suffer a disadvantage, so he stood up with his limp hands and feet.

"Of course, come back."

Shen Chengran stared at Aunt Hua unwillingly, and followed Shen Chengrun back to the house with resentment, his little face was full of unwillingness, and he lost even the good mood of eating cornmeal.

"Don't be angry, we'll take revenge later at night." Shen Chengrun knelt down and touched Shen Chengran's big furry head, winking at him and whispering.

"Really?"

"Hush." ​​Shen Chengrun stretched out his index finger to his lips, "Really, don't let your sister hear."

Shen Qingya has always taught Shen Chengran to keep things calm, Shen Chengran nodded quickly, his eyes rekindled the light of interest, and helped Shen Qingya with her tasks.

Shen Chengrun was tired from sitting, so he crawled back to bed and lay down, quietly thinking about his plans for the night.

A sweet smell slowly filled the air, and the memory in Shen Chengrun's mind told him that it was the smell of cornmeal.Shen Chengrun sniffed deeply. Before that, he only knew that corn was sweet and soft, but Shen Chengrun didn't know what it was like to be sweet and soft. He had only read cold words.

"Chengrun, eat." Smelling the sweet smell of cornmeal, even Shen Qingya, who was always full of melancholy about the future, couldn't help but lighten her voice.

Shen Chengrun got up from the bed, Shen Chengran and Shen Qingya had already sat around the firepit.

The Shen family didn't have a dining table, so they sat around the firepit when eating, and Shen Qingya was scooping cornmeal from the earthen pot on the firepit at the moment.Shen Chengrun peeped his head and found that the cornmeal in the earthen jar was very thin. The bowls of Shen Qingya and Shen Chengran contained cornmeal water, while the bowl in front of him was dry rice compared to gruel compared to Shen Qingya's siblings.

Shen Chengrun didn't refuse this time, he had figured out what Shen Qingya's sister and brother were thinking, and put him first in everything. This view was deeply ingrained, and there was no way to change it overnight. He could only tell them slowly later.But right now the most important thing is to make money. If the family has money, with Shen Qingya's character, she will definitely not treat herself and Shen Chengran harshly.

After all, it is still a matter of money. If you want to make money, you must first take care of your body.

Shen Chengrun picked up the bowl, the tip of his nose was full of the aroma of corn, his mouth would drool, and his Adam's apple rolled.He didn't know whether it was his current body or the AI ​​soul that truly belonged to him.

Shen Chengrun didn't care to tell the difference, and started to eat big mouthfuls with the old bowl in his hand, and even choked twice because he ate too fast.

"Eat slowly, there is still in the crock." Shen Chengrun felt Shen Qingya pat him on the back, and when he raised his head, he met Shen Qingya's worried and distressed eyes.

Shen Chengrun smiled slightly, "Okay."

Shen Chengrun didn't refuse, it wasn't that he was greedy for food and didn't know how to be humble, it was that he knew that he had to recover as soon as possible now, only when he recovered and helped the family earn money could the food at home be improved.And the best way to restore your strength is to eat more.

The three of them ate happily in the house, and didn't notice the sneaky figure at the door.

Aunt Hua was lying on the door of Shen's house, and she could smell the smell of corn leaking from the cracks in the curtain of Shen's house.

She immediately smelled the smell of cornmeal, and immediately changed her face and became angry.

There was a dead ghost in the Shen family, and they all went to the hospital. They couldn't live without selling their sons and daughters, and they even ate cornmeal.Although cornmeal is not a good thing, it is a good thing compared to the bran before the Shen family.

Aunt Hua's eyes were poisonous, she wished she could rush in and kick over the earthen pots of the Shen family siblings, whatever they ate, just because of their Shen family's decline, they were only worthy of chaff, inferior to her.

Aunt Hua's eyes fell on the big yellow dog who smelled the fragrance and walked around the door of Shen's house, and she suddenly smiled viciously.

Aunt Hua whispered to the big yellow dog at the door: "Go and eat."

These dogs are usually fed by Aunt Hua, and when they heard her order, they thought it was something they could eat, and rushed in immediately.

Aunt Hua laughed viciously at this scene.

"Ah, the damn dog has come in again." Shen Chengran drank the porridge in the bowl in twos and then went to hug the earthen pot on the firepit.

The earthen pot had just been used to make polenta, and it was very hot, Shen Chengran shrieked and withdrew his hand.Shen Chengran raised his rice bowl above his head with one hand, and slammed the small bench under his buttocks at the big yellow dog with the other hand. The big yellow dog was hit hard by Shen Chengrun, then kicked hard, screamed, and ran out with its tail between its legs. The room of the Shen family called pitifully at Aunt Hua who was standing outside the Shen family's door waiting to watch the excitement of the Shen family.

Aunt Hua didn't see the good show, hated the big yellow dog for not being up to date, kicked the big yellow dog, cursed in a low voice and went back home.

"Good fight, good fight." Seeing the big yellow dog being beaten away, Shen Chengran slapped his hands happily, "It's better to kill it, these dogs know how to bully our family. To shit, I came to our house to pee, my sister and I couldn’t drive away every day, and we couldn’t listen to scolding, no matter how we cleaned it up in time, the house was filled with the smell of shit and urine.”

Shen Chengrun asked, "Who raised these dogs?"

It stands to reason that the people in the compound are very poor, and their own family can't get enough to eat, so how can they keep so many dogs.

Shen Chengran said angrily: "It was raised by the landlord. Later, the landlord moved to a wealthy area, and the neighbors disliked their dog. The noise made people sleepless at night, and they always urinate and defecate in front of the neighbor's house, chasing after him." The little boy was biting, so he got into a fight with the landlord. The new rich landlord couldn’t beat his well-established neighbor, so he sent the dog to the old house.”

All the poor people living in the old houses depended on the landlord for a living. These poor people dared not offend the landlord and dared not speak out.As for Aunt Hua, in order to curry favor with the landlord, she went so far as to help feed the dog.In fact, they said they were feeding the dogs, but they didn’t feed them at all. Anyway, the landlord didn’t give Aunt Hua any money. Aunt Hua was responsible for counting the dogs every day.In fact, dogs at this time were raised in this way, unless the rich would feed the dogs with their own food, the poor would not feed them, and they could find food for themselves.

After hearing this, Shen Chengrun paid attention in his heart, and continued to eat without saying a word.

Shen Chengrun ate two bowls of polenta by himself, while Shen Qingya and Shen Chengran only drank a bowl of gruel. After eating, Shen Chengrun lay back on the bed to sleep and refresh himself.

It wasn't until he went to bed at night that Shen Chengrun suddenly remembered that the Shen family only had one bed, how could the three siblings of the Shen family sleep?

Shen Qingya used a palm-width wooden board to set up a small place where she could only lie on her side.She was lying on that side, while Shen Chengran and Shen Qingya were lying on this side. Fortunately, there was Shen Chengran in the middle, otherwise Shen Chengrun would have to get up and make a bed right away.
