Jiang Hexi was not idle when he spoke. Seeing the children beside him staring at the snacks in his hands pitifully, he sighed and handed each child a small piece of pastry.
"Thank you cousin!"
"Thank you cousin!"
Several children showed shy smiles and thanked Jiang Hexi.
Two of them were older than Jiang Hexi, but they were far inferior to Jiang Hexi.
Jiang Hexi now eats eggs and meat every day, but in just a few months, he just skewed a lot of pieces forward.
However, Jiang Hexi is still not satisfied with her current height. She hopes to grow taller through exercise and nutrition.
On the side, several children's eyes widened when they had snacks.
One of the children narrowed their eyes into a slit, and a drunken smile appeared on their face, saying, "How come there is such a delicious thing!"
Jiang Hexi glanced at the children and said, "Do you want to eat snacks often?"
"Of course we thought about it."
"If you can take good care of your uncle, I will often bring you snacks."
"Yeah, we must take good care of our grandpa!"
On the side, Mu Er's uncle heard this and looked very complicated. He looked at Jiang Hexi, his eyes were already a little wet, and he said, "Girl Fang, you have the heart!"
Outside, the cousin asked a few children to come and help with the work, and the cousin also walked out.
Since the guests are coming, they always have to entertain guests. He plans to borrow two eggs from someone he likes, and at least make egg flower soup to entertain guests.
Only Jiang Hexi and Mu's second uncle were left in the room, and Uncle Jiang, who was the one in the family.
Jiang Hexi glanced outside the door and whispered to Mu Er Uncle Mu, "Second uncle, how are the eldest cousin and the others treat you well? By the way, where are the second cousin? Why didn't you see the second cousin?"
After hearing this, my second uncle couldn't help but cry and fell down.
My cousin is his son who was adopted by his brother's family and has never been very close to him. After all, I have already remembered it when I was adopted.
As for the second cousin, he was the child he picked up on the way back to the village by his second uncle who worked for someone else in another village. After asking around, no one took the child, so he raised it directly by his side.
The second cousin is inevitably helping with this child he has raised since childhood.
But when the child grows up, he always has to leave his parents.
When my second cousin grew up, because she yearned for the outside world, she followed a caravan to explore, and she has been there for many years and has never come back.
The villagers all talked about the second cousin who had died outside. Even though he had not died outside, he was not his biological child. I was afraid he had already settled his family and would not come back.
Although the people outside said this, when the second uncle split the family, he still left two houses and two thin pieces of land for his younger son.
This also made my cousin very dissatisfied.
When I was raising my second uncle and my husband, my cousin and his wife were inevitably fond of their faces and were not very dedicated in taking care of them.
In addition, the family is indeed too poor. In the face of hunger, my second uncle, who is not his biological elder, is at the last part of my family.
After hearing this, Jiang Hexi couldn't help but smile bitterly.
At the same time, she made up her mind.
Jiang Hexi told his second uncle justice, "Second uncle, our house has built a new house, it is a big yard. Grandma has been waiting for you to live there. After a while, you will follow me to live. I will pick you up and live there.
For a while.”
After hearing this, my second uncle was stunned for a moment, but after a while, he immediately shook his head violently.
"How can this work? He Xi, I'm such an old bone, so there's no need to mess with me."
Jiang Hexi said, "Second uncle, don't worry, my life is so good that I'm not afraid to give you a clear idea. I'll pay my grandmother a month, and I'll pay one or two taels of silver a month, let alone pay for other villagers.
Now.”
After a pause, he said, "Second uncle, I still hope that you can help you when your body gets better. You know the situation at my family. My father is gone, my mother has remarried, and the family needs elders.
We will help and guide us.”
After these words, my second uncle was a little moved.
If he could live, who would die?
In the end, my second uncle agreed and went to Jiang Hexi's house to stay for a while.
At this time, my cousin also prepared the food and just came into the house to greet Jiang Hexi and others for dinner.
On the side, the cousin brought a bowl of sticky porridge to his second uncle.
"Dad, I'll feed you."
As the eldest cousin spoke, he began to feed his second uncle one spoonful at a time.
Seeing this, Jiang Hexi didn't say much and followed his cousin to have dinner.
The rice cooked is the rice and flour brought by Jiang Hexi, and the family must have had no food for a long time.
Neither Jiang Hexi nor Jiang Dajun had much food, so he only ate one bowl and put down his chopsticks.
On the side, several children were eating bite by bite, looking like they had taken elixirs and elixirs.
Jiang Hexi felt a little reluctant to see it.
After the meal was finished, Jiang Hexi spoke to his cousin.
"Cousin, my grandmother told me to take my second uncle over and live for a while. After dinner, I will pick me up my second uncle."
"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work." My second uncle said this, with a little ashamed and said, "He Xi, it's not that we don't take care of the elderly, but that's because the food at home is gone. It's because I'm too incompetent. I'm sorry for my father.
, Hexi, thank you for your hard work, and when I get the food, I will take my father back."
Jiang Hexi raised his eyebrows, "How do you plan to get food for the eldest cousin?"
The cousin smiled bitterly and said, "I heard that mining makes money, I can't watch the whole family starve to death. I plan to go to the nearby foreman tomorrow."
Mining is so dangerous. If it were not forbidden, most people would not go to mining.
Jiang Hexi said, "Cousin, I will pack a kang for people in the city, one tael of silver a month. If you want, follow me to work in the city."
She paused and said, "My cousin can also go to work with her. But if she is not a skilled person, her salary will be a little less."
On the side, the whole family showed a surprised face, "Okay, okay, good!"
If you go to work in the city, you don’t have to fight for your life in the mine. Who wouldn’t want to?
After dinner, Jiang Hexi took Mu's second uncle away.
Tian'er was so cold that when Mu's second uncle walked out the door, his body was shivering.
Fortunately, Jiang Hexi had expected this situation long ago. When he came, he brought an extra down jacket and immediately put it on for the old man.
When the old man got on the donkey cart together, the three of them let the donkey stagger and drove the cart, intending to leave the village.
At this time, the third bedroom of the Mu family in the village also opened the door and came out.
Grandma Mu has five brothers, four and five living farther away, so she did not show up.
After seeing Jiang Hexi, because they were all relatives, they said a few words and greeted him politely.
Seeing that the sky was too cold, Uncle Mu asked his son to bring a brazier and a torn cotton jacket to cover it, which could at least cover some wind, snow and cold wind.
Because of this reason, Jiang Hexi has a good impression of Mr. Mu's family.
Although they are all relatives, they are really unfamiliar with them. After saying a few polite words, they left.
Because Tian'er was so cold, Jiang Hexi was actually reluctant to let his grandmother go to the city to work, so he planned to take advantage of the time he took the second uncle to go to the city to pick up his grandmother.
An hour later, everyone also arrived in the village.
When Jiang Hexi brought his second uncle to the newly built courtyard, his second uncle's face was shocked. When he looked at the brick and tile house in front of him, his second uncle looked unbelievable. caset
The second uncle murmured,
"He Xi, is this your newly built house?"
"Yes! Second uncle, please stay here without worry. My grandma is thinking about you!"
Grandma Mu often talks about her second uncle. She almost starved to death when she was a child. It was this kind-hearted second brother who went to the mountains to pick wild fruits for her to eat, and she survived.
Therefore, Grandma Jiang is particularly concerned about this brother.
Unfortunately, everyone is poor, and when they are not full at home, everyone can't help each other.
At this time, when I walked through the front yard and arrived at the hall, a heat wave in the room immediately came to my face.
Uncle Mu looked at the house and was immediately attracted by the house.
This house is also a little pretty.
On the wall of the house, there was a landscape painting of thousands of horses galloping. Each horse was drawn vividly, as if it was rushing out of the painting the next moment. On the left, there was a long set of cold chairs.
, but the chair was covered with warm fur, and it must be very warm to sit there.
On the upper wall on the left, there are paintings such as plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemums hanging. On the right, there is a long picture of a deer entering the forest, and next to it is a set of wooden tables and chairs.
The whole room doesn't look very gorgeous, but it's very comfortable and gives people a very relaxed state.
Uncle Mu Er said justice, "This house is really good."
"Second uncle, come here, the kang here is well burned!"
When Jiang Hexi went out, he specially asked his second grandfather's cousins to help him burn the kang. The living room, guest room and Jiang Hexi's room suddenly became warm and comfortable.
My second uncle sat on the kang and felt the temperature above. After a while, he felt his hands and feet become warmer, and he couldn't help but sigh again.
"Oh, this kang is so nice!".
The main reason why Mu Er’s uncle got sick is that he was hungry.
If you are malnourished, your body will naturally become weak.
Who made his family run out of food?
Jiang Hexi cooked a large pot of meat porridge that afternoon. The old man couldn't eat enough for a long time and his stomach was not good.
When the meat porridge was over, I felt warm and my spirits became stronger.
Brother Jiang jumped around, and his uncle was short and he made the old man happy in a few strokes.
The elderly like these kind of kids who are crazy, lively and active.
Early the next morning, when Uncle Jiang went to help bring Grandma Jiang back, Uncle Mu lived in peace with greater peace of mind.
Since her second uncle came, Grandma Jiang has also stopped going to the city to help cook. Jiang Hexi comforted her and asked her to go out again after spring. She happily agreed.
Because it was too cold, it was really hard to go to other villages to sell fat intestines. Jiang Sangu took his cousin to do the work of cooking for the work team.
