Chapter 37 The little girl is a bit stupid

"Are you hungry?" Shen Yuxiu heard his stomach growling, tilted her head and asked curiously, and then suddenly ran back without waiting for him to say anything.

The boy didn't know what she was going to do. He watched her running into the yard quietly. He watched her climb onto the tricycle, then pick up a small bag from the car and throw it to the ground. Then she climbed out of the car and picked up the small bag and pointed it at him.

Running over.

"Well, I dug this myself and gave it to you." Shen Yuxiu ran to him holding the small bag and raised it towards him with a face full of joy.

The boy stared blankly at the little girl in front of him, feeling that his eyes were hot and his nose was sore.

"Don't you want wild vegetables?" Shen Yuxiu wrinkled her nose in embarrassment when she saw that he didn't accept it: "But this is all I have."

There were a few steamed buns in the car, but they were all made by grandma and she couldn't make the final decision.

"You gave me these, don't you need to tell the adults?" The boy spoke softly, his voice a little cautious.

"No need." Shen Yuxiu shook her head and said, "My grandma said that I can make my own decisions about the wild vegetables I dug myself. I can eat them myself or give them to others."

The boy listened to her words with complicated eyes.

Why is this little girl so stupid? If it were him, he would definitely hide it from anyone and only feed it to his family.

"Then... do you want it?" Seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, Shen Yuxiu hugged her little cloth bag and hesitated.

Grandma said that when people are hungry, they will eat anything. If you don’t even want to eat wild vegetables, you probably are not really hungry, so you don’t need to give them.

She was not sure whether this person disliked the wild vegetables she dug, but on the way here, everyone she saw liked these things. Grandma and grandpa also asked her to dig the wild vegetables when they saw them. Along the way, she and her grandma and grandpa

I also eat wild vegetables a lot.

The wild vegetables in her hand now are some of the best types of food she has ever eaten. Grandma said that if someone even dislikes these wild vegetables, this person should not be short of food and does not need to give them.

The boy didn't know what she was thinking, but when he saw her holding the bag as if she wanted to take it back, he hurriedly said: "I want it."

When Shen Yuxiu heard that he wanted it, she suddenly stopped thinking about taking it back, but she still said a little uneasily: "Then, if you want it, you can't throw it away. Also, remember to return the bag. I

We also need to dig wild vegetables for use.”

"Okay, I'll take the wild vegetables home and send the bag back to you." The boy nodded quickly.

Shen Yuxiu saw that his face was serious and did not look like he was lying, so she handed him the bag in her arms. The boy quickly took the bag, smiled gratefully at her, turned around and ran home quickly.

Shen Yuxiu watched the boy's back disappear at the corner of the street, and then jumped back to the yard.

She feels that she is still very useful, and the wild vegetables she digs can also help others.

The boy held the little cloth bag and rushed straight into the west room as soon as he got home. There was a woman lying on the kang in the room. Her forehead was bruised and swollen, her face was sallow, and her lips were dry and slightly bloodshot. Next to her, there was a boy older than this.

Not much older, but a skinny girl with weak breathing.

"Sister, sister, I have something to eat, please eat quickly."

As soon as the boy entered the house, he took out a handful of dried wild vegetables from his cloth bag and stuffed it into the girl's mouth, his face full of joy.

The girl felt something was stuffed in her mouth, she opened her eyes with difficulty, and began to chew subconsciously. However, such a simple action seemed to take all her strength, and she started to gasp slightly after chewing a few times.

The woman next to her heard the movement and opened her eyes in a daze to see this scene, her face full of surprise.

"Mom, you eat too." Before the woman could ask, the boy came to the woman with a face full of joy. He also took out a handful of wild vegetables from his unbuttoned pocket and handed it to the woman's mouth.

However, the woman looked at the clean and clear color of the wild vegetables, but she tilted her head and did not eat it. Her somewhat dazed eyes looked at the boy again with a sharp look: "Where did you get it from...?"

It looked like these wild vegetables had been blanched in hot water and dried. The water here is very rare nowadays, and it is impossible for anyone to be willing to blanch wild vegetables in water.

"A few people came to Grandpa Fang's place today, and this was given to me by Xiao Ni'er." The boy said and passed the wild vegetables in his hand to the woman's mouth again: "Mom, eat it quickly, don't let dad find out.

.”

The woman once again avoided the wild vegetables he fed to her mouth and asked him: "Then Xiao Nier... will give you the wild vegetables, her family... will you keep watch?"

"No." The boy shook his head. Seeing that his mother was so angry that she wanted to reach out and hit him, but she raised her hand but did not lift it up. He quickly explained to her: "She said she dug it herself. She said her family

Let her make her own decision and give it away."

The woman closed her eyes and shook her head, and stood up tremblingly to get off the bed: "That won't work, how can a little girl do this? I and you... will go back. If the master doesn't say anything, we... can't

I want this wild vegetable."

When the boy heard this, his eye circles turned red. He subconsciously looked at his sister who had stopped chewing, and then turned back to meet the woman's eyes full of prayer.

He knew that his mother was afraid that other people would be angry and come to visit her if they didn't know about it. But he also wanted his mother and sister to survive.

My father was so cruel, even though the family had distributed relief food, he said that my sister was a loser and was not worthy of eating the food from the family. He wanted to give my sister to a lame man as his wife. Because my mother refused to agree, my father beat my mother like this.

He threatened that if the eldest sister did not get married, the mother and sister would not be able to eat at home and would starve to death.

But he was afraid. He was afraid that if time went by, his mother and sister would really starve to death. What would he do then? He didn't want to be a child without a mother.

"Mom, take a bite, just one bite. I'll give it back immediately after you finish it. They won't be able to tell if you miss a few bites." The boy said, tears welling up in his eyes.

But the woman still shook her head. She had no strength to speak, but she still got off the bed tremblingly.

"Da Ni'er, please stay at home. Your second brother and I will go out and be right back." The woman warned the skinny eldest daughter while trying to push herself up and get off the kang.

Although the girl was a little disappointed with her mother's decision, she still nodded silently.

Seeing his mother like this, the boy lowered his head in frustration and watched in silence as the woman slowly put on her shoes and began to walk out shakily.

And at the moment when the woman left, he quickly grabbed a handful of wild vegetables and stuffed it under the girl's pillow while the woman was not paying attention. Then he went after the woman. When he was leaving the door, the boy turned back and silently mouthed to his sister: "

Fast food."

The girl understood what the boy meant, her eyes turned red involuntarily, she picked up a little with trembling hands and stuffed it into her mouth.

The woman and the boy walked out of the yard one after another. They didn't notice at all that there was a boy who was taller and stronger than the boy by the window sill of the main room. He was watching the two of them quietly until he saw them walking out.

In the yard, the boy immediately turned around and complained to his father who was lying on the kang.

"Dad, mother and brother went out holding a bag."

The man on the kang had a deep bite on his ankle, which was bruised and swollen. When he heard the boy's words, he gave a perfunctory "hmm" without any reaction at all.

He guessed that the child was applying eye drops to the two women again. There was a torn mat in the room, on the kang, and a bag? Where did the women get the bags?

Besides, he has all the food that can be eaten at home, so even if the two of them carry a bag and go out, what will they get?
