"Yu Yu, what's wrong? Do you need my help?" Li Chu sat on another sofa and looked at He Yu Yu and asked.
He Yuyu picked up the satchel on his hand, and there was a hole underneath: "Brother Chu, can I use your sewing machine? There is a hole in my schoolbag."
Li Chu thought He Yuyu had something to do with him, but it turned out to be just this: "Hey, I thought you had something to do with me. Give the bag to your sister Qiu Nan and ask her to help you mend it."
Ding Qiunan had already walked over, took the bag from He Yuyu's hand, turned it over, looked at it, and walked to the sewing machine. He Yuyu also followed.
Ding Qiunan asked He Yuyu to pull up a stool and sit next to him: "Yuyu, did you sew this bag yourself?"
He Yuyu shook his head: "No, Sister Qiu Nan, how could I sew the bag? This was sewed by the aunt for me. I originally wanted to find her just now, but I thought that the aunt was pregnant and needed to rest at night, so I
I just came here to find you. Sorry to trouble you, Sister Qiunan."
"It's okay. What's the trouble? Auntie is not in good health right now. If you have any sewing work in the future, if you can't do it, you can bring it to me."
"Thank you, Sister Qiunan, you are so kind." He Yuyu smiled sweetly at Ding Qiunan.
At this time, Li Chu came over from behind, holding a few candies in his hand, and handed them to He Yuyu: "Yuyu, here."
He Yuyu looked at the candy in front of him, stood up and waved his hands: "Brother Chu, no need, I won't eat it."
Ding Qiunan said from the side: "Rainwater, just take it if it's given to you."
Li Chu handed it forward again and looked at her. He Yuyu took it sheepishly: "Thank you, Brother Chu!"
"You're welcome, Yu Yu, have you had dinner?"
"I've eaten Brother Chu." As soon as he finished speaking, He Yuyu's stomach made a sound, and the little girl lowered her head in embarrassment.
Ding Qiunan winked at Li Chu. Li Chu nodded without saying anything and walked to the kitchen. Ding Qiunan pulled He Yuyu to sit down.
Li Chu came to the kitchen and saw that the briquette stove had not been extinguished, so he added some coal and without cooking again, he heated up the remaining food. After the food was heated, he continued to work on the stove.
Stuff it under the chimney to warm the bedroom.
He put the hot food on the table in the living room, and then said: "Yu Yu, come on, you have some food. There is not much food, just what was left just now. You can eat some while you are here. Let your sister Qiu Nan be there."
Just do it.”
He Yuyu looked at Ding Qiunan, then at Li Chu, said thank you, sat down at the table, picked up the steamed bun and started eating it. If you look carefully, you will find that He Yuyu's eyes are red.
Li Chu sat on the sofa and picked up the book, but his mind was not on the book. This little girl had a ration of 25 kilograms of food every month, which was enough for her. It was impossible for her to be so thin from hunger, and neither was He Yuzhu.
I know how to take care of my sister.
When He Yuzhu got off work, he didn't say he would come back to cook for his sister. Instead, he went outside to drink. There were several times when most people in the courtyard were asleep before he heard He Yuzhu coming back from outside after drinking.
In the past, He Yuyu had no food to eat in the afternoon, and his aunt could still take care of him. Now that he is pregnant and heavy, and she is an older pregnant woman, she can take care of the old lady in the backyard every day, and she can even eat well.
I can't take care of He Yuyu anymore.
Li Chu thought and sighed, hey, this little girl is really a bit pitiful.
It didn't take long for He Yuyu to finish the meal. Without waiting for Li Chu to say anything, he took the bowl and plate and ran to the sink in the courtyard to wash them clean.
After she put away the dishes and chopsticks and came over, Ding Qiunan had already mended her school bag.
He Yuyu took the schoolbag and looked at it: "Sister Qiu Nan, you've done a great job. Thank you. Thank you too, Brother Xiao Chu." After saying that, he bowed to the two of them.
Ding Qiunan helped the little girl up: "They are all neighbors, why are you so polite?" He reached out and touched He Yuyu's head: "Yuyu, if there is no one to cook for you in the afternoon, wait until Brother Chu and I come back from get off work. , just come to my house to eat."
He Yuyu looked at Ding Qiunan and said: "Sister Qiunan, I can cook, but...it's just that when I came back today, I found that there was no food at home, and I didn't have money to buy it, so I couldn't cook it." He Yuyu lowered his head as he said that.
Go down.
"If you need any help in the future, just come to me. Go back quickly. It's getting late." Ding Qiunan said to her.
"Thank you, Sister Qiunan, and thank you, Brother Xiaochu." He Yuyu thanked the two of them again.
Li Chu waved his hand: "The rain is gone, don't be polite, come back quickly."
After sending He Yuyu away, Li Chu saw Xiao Hei wandering around the door again: "Xiao Hei wants to go to the toilet. This little guy is really smart. He only learned it once and remembered it. Qiu Nan, you
Look, it hasn’t been at home for the past two days and has been defecating everywhere.”
Ding Qiunan was very happy watching Xiao Hei spinning around there. He teased it twice with his feet, and Xiao Hei barked at her, "Okay, Li Chu, please take it with you quickly. You are too anxious even if you don't look at it."
Already."
Li Chu then snuck up Xiao Heiti and took him outside the yard. He watched it finish and then came back together.
After coming back, the young couple finished washing and went upstairs.
Lying on the bed, Ding Qiunan huddled in Li Chu's arms. He thought of He Yuyu again and asked, "When did He Yuyu's father leave?"
"Lao He used to be the chef team leader of your factory. I don't know exactly when he left. I was still in college at that time."
"Then he doesn't want such a good job and would rather follow the widow than the two brothers and sisters?" Ding Qiunan asked again. She couldn't understand what He Yuyu's father did.
Li Chu thought for a moment and said, "I don't know the specific reason, but I have heard an interesting statement."
"What statement?"
"When I was chatting with the third uncle once, the third uncle said that the brother and sister went to look for them once after Lao He left, but Lao He didn't see them. The third uncle said that he also heard what others said, and it seemed that they were
There is definitely something wrong with the He family's family status, so Mr. He didn't dare to stay in Sijiu City, so he ran away."
"Is there something wrong with the ingredients?" Ding Qiunan was a little surprised. This is no small matter.
"Well, He Yuzhu has always said that his family is poor peasants. Shit, if their family were poor peasants, then they would be evil."
"What do you mean? Why do poor peasants have problems?"
"Their family has been a city dweller since the Republic of China, and their household registration card has always been in the city. Mr. He has been cooking for people in the city, and their children are also in the city. After liberation, when the ingredients were determined, their family's situation was basically
He can't be a poor farmer, he must be a craftsman, just like the rich boss who cleans up our house."
"Ah, is there anything else like this?"
"Oh, my wife, it's been a long night. Why are we talking about other people's homes? Come on, let's do something good for our physical and mental health." After saying this, Li Chu got on his horse.
"Well, Li Chu, don't... you have to go to work tomorrow, so go to bed early, ah..."
