After listening to his mother's reminder, Bai Anyan agreed, "Don't worry, mother, just leave these things to me."
After working for an hour, the small yard was almost tidied up, and even the stove was repaired by him.
Just add some pots and pans and you'll be able to live.
"It's almost done. It's getting late. Let's go home." Bai Yunxi glanced at the sky and greeted the two of them to go home.
As soon as they reached the official road, they saw a group of people happily running towards the town. Behind them, two teenagers who had difficulty walking fell.
Because I was running slowly and couldn't keep up, I was constantly being urged by people in front of me.
"Sanwazi, hurry up and sign up quickly. If you're late, you have to wait until tomorrow."
"Third uncle, I know I'm really out of energy. Let me take a breather."
The person who spoke was a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old. He was very skinny and was being supported by a child of eight or nine years old.
"Third uncle, my brother has not recovered from his illness and cannot run fast," the child gasped, his eyes full of worry.
"You two have a lot to do. The government has posted notices that the war is over and we are encouraged to return to our hometowns. Anyone who signs up in advance can receive travel expenses on a first-come, first-served basis. If someone else takes all the money, won't we be blinded?"
"What you said is correct, kid, but we are not familiar with the place here. If someone goes out to do work, someone has to stay behind. Otherwise, if something happens to this family of old, weak, women and children, how can we deal with it?"
The man who was called the third uncle tightened his face when he heard the children's complaints and took a deep breath.
"I don't believe your nonsense. Even if the work is divided, we have to take turns staying behind and working, instead of just letting my brother do it alone."
"You ignorant wolf cub!"
"Even if your brother can do his job, if you thought he could protect a little kid like you, he might have been beaten to death long ago."
The child stared at them with red eyes, full of resentment.
"You just bullied us into losing our parents, and you did it on purpose."
"That's right, when the critical moment comes, you brothers will hold back."
"Fourth child, the third uncle really has no money. Your brother has made money, but with so many people to feed, he really can't save."
After hearing the complaints from several people, the child blushed and yelled,
"You still have the nerve to ask, why is my brother sick? The third uncle said that a family should help each other, respect the old and love the young. My brother gave you all the money he earned. But now my brother is tired and sick, but you say
If you don’t have money for medical treatment, don’t you feel guilty?”
"Okay, stop arguing."
"You bastard, why are you talking to your third uncle? It's not us who left you without parents. If we hadn't taken care of you all the way, you would have starved to death."
"Humph, we all have hands and feet, so why should my brother be the only one working to support you?"
With a scolding, the third uncle looked at the two brothers behind him with a serious face, and sighed,
"Sanwazi, we came out to escape the famine and endured hardship. We are lucky if we can survive without starving. We really have no money for medical treatment."
Sanwazi blushed, pursed his lips, held his brother's hand and shook his head at him, taking a few more breaths before speaking.
"Third uncle, I know that I am not up to expectations, and the fourth child is also worried about me. Our parents are gone, and it is the third uncle who takes care of our brothers. The third child is grateful in his heart."
"It's good to know. The third uncle is also worried when you are sick, but in this world, there is nothing we can do." After saying that, the third uncle glanced at the sky.
"How about this, you brothers, walk slowly, we will sign up first, and then we will wait for you at the roadside, and then we can set off together?"
