Then he raised his head and said with a bitter face, "I can't eat anymore."

Sun Xiu immediately said, "It's all because of you. Look at whose child has a cold and can't eat?"

That’s true. Not to mention a cold, even a serious illness would not affect your eating.

Li Ju said timidly, "Mom, I really can't eat anymore."

Seeing that Sun Xiu wanted to speak, Li Xu quickly stepped forward to smooth things over. "Okay, okay, if you don't want to eat, then don't eat. I'll get you a can of milk powder later. That's much better than eating."

Sun Xiu glared at him. "You're the ones who spoiled her. She got sick because she wasn't obedient. And she's still drinking milk powder? She's lucky to have food to eat."

Li Ping also stepped forward to persuade her, "Mom, my little sister knows she's wrong."

Li Ju nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, Mom, I know I was wrong."

After saying this, he raised his head and looked at Sun Xiu.

The weak look on his face makes people feel very distressed.

Sun Xiu also softened his heart and sighed, "Alright, alright, it's your brother's anyway, he can give it to whoever he wants to drink it."

Li Mei laughed out loud, "Mom, you're just hard on the outside but soft on the inside. I thought you were going to teach your little sister a lesson."

Sun Xiu rolled her eyes at her. "How can I teach her a lesson? Should I beat her up?"

Li Jiakang quickly said, "Forget it, forget it, he's just a kid, just say a few words."

Li Chen had a complicated expression on his face and couldn't help but say, "You guys don't treat me like this."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Sun Xiu also looked at him, "Are you as well-behaved as your little sister? Does your little sister also get into trouble every day?"

Li Jiakang glanced at her and said, "Just ask who wouldn't like your little sister's cleverness?"

Everyone expressed their likes.

Li Ju on the bed was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.

Apart from anything else, Li Ju admitted her mistake so quickly that Li Chen couldn't learn from her even if he flattered her.

Li Chen: ...

Then Li Xu returned to his room and took out another can of milk powder. He made a cup directly for Li Ju and handed it to her.

After Li Ju finished drinking, she squinted her big eyes happily.

Li Xu quickly asked, "Little sister, do you want more?"

Li Ju quickly shook her head, "No, I'm full."

After saying that, he yawned.

"That's fine. Are you feeling sleepy again?"

"Um."

Li Jiakang said, "Let's go to the main room and let Xiaoju continue to sleep."

Children can sleep a lot, and when they are sick, they sleep even more.

So everyone went out, only Sun Xiu stayed.

He said he would wait until Li Ju fell asleep before leaving.

After arriving at the main hall, Li Xu found a cup and made a cup of milk for everyone.

Others would have refused.

But Li Xu said that drinking more milk would prevent the body from getting sick easily.

Everyone then took it up.

Li Xu also sighed inwardly. Although there was some milk powder, it was not enough for the whole family's daily consumption.

You also need to keep some as a preparation to prevent emergencies.

After drinking, everyone started chatting again.

Li Jiakang first said, "It snowed a little today and then stopped. I don't know if it will snow again this winter."

Li Ping frowned. "If there's more snow, it would alleviate the drought, but I'm afraid it'll be the same as last year."

At this point, everyone fell silent.

Li Xu also learned from his memory that although there were several snowfalls last winter, they were all very light and had no effect at all.

And the weather is very cold.

There was even a "late spring cold snap" this spring.

Li Jiakang sighed. "They say if you cover your wheat with three layers of quilts in winter, you'll sleep on steamed buns the next year. If this winter continues like this, the situation next year won't be much better."

Li Jiakang came from a peasant family, although he had not received much education.

I don't know the truth in this proverb.

But he understood that this statement was also true.

If there is no heavy snow in winter, the grain harvest will not be very good the following year even if there is no drought.

Just as everyone was about to respond, Sun Xiu walked in.

Li Mei stepped forward and asked, "Mom, is my little sister asleep?"

Sun Xiu nodded, "Yeah, I fell asleep."

After saying that, he sat on the stool and said, "Xiaomei, how about I sleep with you tonight?"

Li Mei hesitated and said, "Mom, are you worried about my little sister?"

"Well, even though she's sweating, I'm still a little worried."

Li Mei laughed and said, "You don't have to come. I'll just keep an eye on it at night. If anything happens, I'll call you."

Sun Xiu also hesitated and said, "I'm worried that it will affect your school tomorrow."

Li Mei waved her hand and said, "It's okay. This doesn't affect me at all. Don't worry."

Seeing Li Mei say this, Sun Xiu didn't say anything more.

Li Xu also brought a cup of prepared milk and handed it over, "Mom, drink it while it's hot."

Sun Xiu glanced at the milk and said, "Forget it. Just save it for your sister."

"There's still plenty left, and everyone's already drunk it. It would be embarrassing for us if you didn't drink it."

"Yes, yes, Mom, we all drank it, so you can drink it."

Others also spoke quickly.

Finally, Li Jiakang also spoke, and Sun Xiucai picked it up and drank it.

After that, everyone stopped discussing the weather and started talking about various gossips.

Anyway, everyone listened with great interest.

The next morning, Li Xu walked out of the room and saw Li Ju washing up. He was also a little surprised, "Little sister, are you okay?"

Li Ju nodded her head and made a "hmm" sound.

"You better remember this. The weather is so cold that you can't take off your clothes even if it gets hotter. Fortunately, it's just a cold this time. If you had a fever, it would be troublesome."

Li Ju wiped her face and said with a blushing face, "Second brother, I understand."

"Okay, I understand." After saying that, Li Xu also began to wash up.

Although the weather is still cold today.

But everyone still washes up in the yard.

There is no way, this has been our habit for many years.

Otherwise, there is no other place. It can't be in the house or in the bathroom, right?

The key point is that there is no toilet in Li Xu's house...

Nowadays, almost no one in the county town has a toilet.

During the day, everyone goes to the public toilet not far away.

At night, you need to use the toilet...

And now they are all dry toilets.

Manure is the main agricultural fertilizer nowadays and is very popular.

Therefore, a large vat is placed under the pit to collect feces.

Every time he went to the toilet, Li Xu felt indescribable.

Not to mention the dirt and mess, every time I squatted there, tears would flow unconsciously.

Nothing else, the smell is just too pungent for the eyes.

So he often missed the household toilets and flush toilets of later generations.

When others saw Li Ju, they came forward to express their concern.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that he was almost recovered.
