Chapter 7 Changes in Attitudes
Chen Ningya was startled and quickly grabbed the children's hands, saying fearfully: "You can't catch them. If you get chickenpox, you will be disfigured after scratching the chickenpox on your face. Just like the second pox in the village, you can't see anyone.
There was a man named Ermazi in the village. His face was bumpy and ugly, so he couldn't marry a wife. He almost became an old bachelor. Chen Ningya had only heard of it and had never seen her. However, the two children had watched her playing in the village. She was so scared that she clenched her fists and endured her.
Seeing that this was not a solution, Chen Ningya frowned and said, "Mom is afraid that you can't help it. Why don't I ask your father to take some hemp ropes to tie your hands and feet first, so as not to stop you from scratching your face. OK? Hold on for a few days, and when the chickenpox is shed, it will be fine."
The two children nodded obediently, and they should not be disfigured or turned into pockmarked faces.
With the permission of the children, Chen Ningya opened the door and called for someone, and then she found that it was already light. In the hazy, she found that there was a person standing outside the threshold of the bedroom opposite. She was startled and looked closely and found that Wen Yuanliang had disappeared for several hours.
"Boss, what are you doing standing there? Go back to the house to sleep quickly." Chen Ningya urged with a frown.
Wen Yuanliang looked up at Chen Ningya, then silently lowered his head, and stood still.
Chen Ningya finally found the red marks on Wen Yuanliang's face in the faint morning light, as if she was being sucked. She instantly understood that Wen Youshan probably beat the child and even punished him not to enter the house. It was still so cold now. It rained all night last night. What if the child was frozen?
But she couldn't fight against Wen Youshan, so she said, "If you don't want to sleep, please help me find some hemp ropes or cloth strips. When your brother and sister wake up, your mother will tie their hands and feet up so that they won't be able to stop scratching their faces."
When Wen Yuanliang was beaten by Wen Youshan, he knew that his younger brother and sister were sick. He felt guilty and uncomfortable. Even if he was punished, he never felt resentful and dissatisfied. Even if Chen Ningya asked him to do things, he was not as resistant as before. It was just...
He hesitantly turned back to the room, and saw that his father didn't say anything, he gritted his teeth and ran towards the woodshed quickly.
The so-called wood-room is actually a simple shed made of wood, with some thatch on it, and usually placed firewood and some miscellaneous things. Chen Ningya saw Wen Yuanliang in and knew that the child was really looking for something for her, and a knowing smile appeared on her face.
After a while, Wen Yuanliang grabbed a handful of hemp rope and ran to Chen Ningya and said proudly: "For you."
"Thank you." Chen Ningya chuckled.
Wen Yuanliang's pupils dilated instantly and he was stunned. Before he could come back to his senses, Chen Ningya continued: "Your brother and sister have chickenpox and are infected with cold. Don't go into this house during this period. Mom may need you to hand over something from time to time, don't run out to play crazy. Now if there is nothing to do, cook porridge for your brother and sister."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Ningya had closed the door. After a while, she opened the door again, wrapped her hands in a cloth, put the grain bag outside the door, and reminded: "Remember to put more rice and don't add wild vegetables."
"Oh." Wen Yuanliang replied subconsciously.
When he came to his senses, he realized that Chen Ningya had returned to the house, and he actually listened to her and agreed.
Thinking of this, Wen Yuanliang's mood was so complicated that he could not describe it. However, this time he did not dare to disobey him and actually took the grain bag to the stove.
Chen Ningya returned to the house and thought about the structure of Zhang's room. After a while, she tied the hands and feet of the two children and reminded her: "Remember, just say it if you feel uncomfortable, don't bear it, but you must not catch it. If the chickenpox is broken, it will leave scars."
The two children kept nodding.
Wen Yuanhong slapped his mouth and said carefully: "Mom, I'm hungry."
Seeing the child like this, Chen Ningya sighed in her heart and comforted her: "Wait a minute, your elder brother is going to cook porridge. My mother will feed you porridge later."
Seeing the disappointed appearance of the two children, Chen Ningya remembered that they were still thinking about eating meat when they were in a daze. After thinking about it, she opened the door and shouted to the stove room again: "Boss, go and ask your father to get up and clean up the rabbits and cook porridge with rabbit meat."
Wen Youshan in the room had already woken up, and immediately replied when he heard the voice: "Now."
Chen Ningya received a response and closed the door with peace of mind. She turned around and found that the two small eyes on the bed were shining, much more energetic than before, and she couldn't help but laugh.
After about half an hour, Wen Yuanliang knocked on Zhang's door and said, "The porridge is cooked and put it at the door."
Chen Ningya opened the door and saw Wen Yuanliang standing in the yard, her eyes fell on the porridge and swallowed hard, turning her face away. She knew that the porridge was probably only made by the three of them, and the others had no share.
This was how Zhang arranged it before. Only those in need could eat good things. It seems that eating meat in the whole family has never happened. It seems that Wen Yuanliang inherited Zhang's style.
Chen Ningya doesn't want to eat meat by herself now and watch the children eat braised vegetables. She immediately called Wen Youshan over, "Cook some broth for other children with the remaining rabbit meat, and add some rice. Don't be wronged. What we eat in the future, you can't make a fortune even if you pick such a little bit of food."
Wen Youshan was most afraid that Chen Ningya would be unhappy, so he responded immediately. Without saying a word, he turned around to cook in the stove. Chen Ningya then brought the porridge into the house with confidence.
Wen Yuanliang was left in the yard, and he stared at Zhang's room for a long time before leaving.
Meat porridge is not common in the Wen family, and it may be thicker porridge. Each child eats sweetly and forgets the itching on his body for a short time. He continues to savor after eating it.
Seeing that the brother and brother were so happy, Chen Ningya handed out the bowls and chopsticks and said to Wen Youshan: "If you get free, see if you can catch another pheasant or hare. If you don't have one, you can get an egg. The children will be much more energetic after eating meat."
Wen Youshan pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Sure, I'll go to the mountain to get a condom. There's nothing on our mountain. I'll go to another place to see. If you have anything, tell the boss to do it. I beat him up yesterday, and he didn't dare to run out and play crazy anymore."
Chen Ningya nodded slightly, but she no longer discussed the issue of educating her children at this time.
In the next few days, Chen Ningya kept eating and living with her two children. If they were uncomfortable, they would find ways to divert their attention or make them laugh. The laughter of her mother and her son came from time to time in the room, which made Wen Youshan feel much more at ease.
Wen Yuanliang grew up like he was instantly, no longer as hostile to Chen Ningya as before, and sometimes he would silently prepare things for her.
