Chapter 53 The Great Famine of 1942
The despair of reality and the betrayal of acquaintances all hit people too much. The little Duo Yu pounced on the grandfather's grave and cried for a long time. Until he vented all the grievances and anger in his heart, it was already late, and Duo Yu Yu was tired of crying. Then he hugged his baby's household appliances, and shook his tears and went home one step and three times.
Seeing the whole messy home, my nose felt sore, and I felt wronged and felt uncomfortable and wanted to cry.
Fortunately, the little guy is strong and he can hold back no matter how wronged he is, he is still disappointed.
First, I carefully took the household appliances of the baby in my arms into the kang cabinet. When I was about to finish, I didn’t forget to wrap them in a piece of clothes and store them carefully and securely. Then Duoyu turned around and came back to sort out the messy home.
The food in the small cellar was gone at all, and it was all scattered by the uncle and nephew. The fruit that grandfather made for her overnight was not even a bit of slag left for her, let alone other foods left outside, which were not even a big clove of garlic for her.
It can be said that now she has nothing but the food she buried deep in the kang hole with her and her grandfather...
After working hard for so long, she was a human being, so she would be hungry. At this moment, her stomach kept rumbling and clamoring for its hunger.
Duo Yu was holding a pair of swollen peach eyes, sighing, rubbing his stomach, and had no choice but to put his mind on the grains buried before.
Of course, just in case, the little guy didn't dare to take it too much this time.
To be on the safe side, she took enough food for three days, which means two handfuls of food were put into the bowl. The rest was still buried back intact, as if she had been bitten by a snake and had been carved into her bones for ten years of fear of the well rope, and she firmly implemented it to the end.
The kang was restored to its original position, and looked at the unprocessed grain in the coarse porcelain bowl, and sighed again after accepting his fate.
These corn grates are hard, not dried pumpkins, locusts, or even sweet potatoes, so they cannot be compared with the fruits they have stolen. These ones in the front can be stuffed directly into their mouths when they are extremely hungry, and the corn grates in the bowl are now... Well, she loses, she has to cook!
Helplessly, Duoyu locked the door and carried her little bucket to the old well, and continued to use the free pumpkin vine growing at the bottom of the well, sucking a bucket of water.
Before leaving, thinking about his previous experience at home, looking at the two life-saving pumpkin vines at the bottom of the well, Duo Yu thought about it and pulled a handful of tender pumpkin leaves and pumpkin flowers. The remaining vines that climbed outside the well were pulled up and threw them down the well.
"Little Teng Teng, it's very dangerous outside. For your life, you'd better stay in the well and hold it up. When I come back and get water, I'll come to see you." A little guy threw it away, but he didn't forget to remind the pumpkin vine in his mouth.
If you don’t expose the secrets at the well, be careful when fetching water. For example, no one comes to the old well that has long been dry. Therefore, as long as the emerald green color is hidden and not exposed, it is safe to be at the bottom of the well.
I thought to myself with a bucket of water.
When the little guy got home, he was not idle, he was hungry and had no food in his stomach, and he didn't have a grandfather who loved and protected her, so she had to take care of everything by himself.
I followed my grandfather's example and poured water on the pot. I carefully planned it. I put a handful of corn grilled rice, plus a handful of tender pumpkin vines and flowers that I had not washed, covered the pot, squatted in front of the stove hole, grabbed two round flints and ignited.
Fortunately, my grandfather was busy raising her and was often away from home. Xiao Duoyu felt sorry for her. He often boiled water for her grandfather to take a bath and used the work of ignition. He just lit the fire, but it would not hurt her.
Just looking at the slowly burning flames in the stove hole and the heat slowly rising from the gap in the big pot, unconsciously, the extra eyes turned red again.
Because, she misses her grandfather and her mother again...
Alas! I feel uncomfortable and want to cry.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang...
"Hu...hu...hu... in the house, cough cough, is there anyone in the house? Cough cough cough... Sangou Danzi? Duo, Donier? You, cough cough, are you at home? Is there anyone in the house? If someone is there, open the door, cough cough cough..."
While the excess was burning and staring at the steaming heat, suddenly, the gate of their yard was knocked from outside.
Duoyu immediately shuddered and his first subconscious reaction was to reach out to touch the kitchen knife that was blocked on his waist.
After touching the handle of the knife, Duoyu felt a little relieved. He didn't want to care about the movements outside, so he obediently guarded the pot and continued to pretend to be dead, but the sound outside the hospital door was still relentlessly.
Duoyu frowned her little brow, looked at the pot on the stove, and then looked at the door that was still being patted. Finally Duoyu sighed, drooped his little shoulder and stood up and went out, gently closed the door, and locked the door as much as possible without making any noise. After the little guy pulled out the kitchen knife from his waist, tiptoed through the yard, crossed his grandfather's grave, and finally came to the yard wall behind the gate quietly, and looked out carefully through the crack of the door.
Because he was afraid that people outside would find out, Duoyu did not dare to look out between the door panel. Instead, he leaned against the cold courtyard wall beside the door, and then looked out through the gap between the courtyard wall and the door frame.
Unfortunately, the angle of choice was wrong. Duoyu could not see clearly who the person outside was. He only judged through the voice and the movement outside. Duoyu probably judged that the other party was a person and an elderly person.
It seemed as if he was Ying Zheng's unnecessary guess, but the old man outside the door kept knocking on the door, while gasping for breath.
"Huh? Cough cough... What's going on? Cough cough cough, obviously, I'm far away, I just saw the chimney coming out, smoking, cough cough... It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be without people?"
He was puzzled, and the people outside seemed to have thought of something in their hearts, and then began to shout the door unceasingly.
But, this time the door shouting and the force and frequency of knocking on the door were obviously much slower and weaker than at the beginning.
"Open, open the door, Sangou Danzi, I, I am your second uncle, cough cough...Donianer, open the door, I am your second, second, second grandpa..."
Although his second grandfather is much remoter than Li Tiezi, he is all the same tribe and has not yet had the fifth service. His second grandfather is also a real second grandfather, right?
