Mo Lao moved to the door in the dark, removed the wooden block against the door, opened the door of the shed, and let Song Hao in.
"Xiao Song, it's so late, are you okay?"
Song Hao knew the situation of the two old people. After entering the house, he lit the candle he brought with him. Without saying anything, he picked up the bowls that the two old people usually used to eat, poured the porridge into the two bowls respectively, giving each person half a bowl.
He signaled the two old men to stop talking, as there were people next door, and the things he had were not enough to buy them. There was a couple living over there, and he didn't have much contact with them. Moreover, the couple's eyes looked at people strangely, and he had no intention of making close friends with them.
Song Hao handed two bowls of porridge to the two old people and motioned them to eat.
The two old men were a little at a loss. Two bowls of rice porridge were extremely rare for them in their current situation. They could not even buy it with money. With their current status, they were not qualified to eat it at all.
"this--"
Song Hao waved his hand and said in a very low voice: "Eat quickly, I have more over there, and these snacks, you can put them here, and eat one when you are too hungry." After saying that, he turned around and left without caring about the expressions of the two old people.
The shed door closed again, and the room was still brightly lit. In addition to the burning candle, there was a new candle placed next to it, and half a box of matches.
Old Qi and Old Mo looked at each other without saying a word. They silently picked up their bowls and drank the porridge mouthful by mouthful.
Perhaps it was because their lives were too hard and they hadn't eaten porridge for so long, but they all felt that this porridge was the most fragrant and delicious porridge they had ever tasted in their lives.
After eating half a bowl of porridge, the emptiness and discomfort in my stomach disappeared, and even the fatigue in my body was greatly relieved. I felt much more relaxed.
Mr. Qi even felt that the pain in his legs was relieved, but he didn't know if it was a psychological effect.
The two old people had a rare chance to get some sleep.
Song Yun also fell asleep. She hadn't had a good night's sleep since she came here and learned the news about her parents. Today she finally saw them. Although the situation was not serious, at least they were still alive. She could finally feel at ease. With her around, they would get better and better.
Song Yun was woken up by the alarm clock at six o'clock. She spent 28 yuan to buy a Jinji brand mechanical double-bell alarm clock at a grocery store in Beijing. As a person from the later generations, the alarm clock has become an indispensable part of life. She would buy it no matter how expensive it is.
This was the kind of alarm clock my family used when I was a kid, around the 1990s.
After getting up, I didn't have time to wash up, so I lit the stove first, poured all the remaining water in the thermos into the ceramic pot, and took out a handful of noodles.
Song Ziyi came out rubbing his eyes. Seeing that he was awake, Song Yun handed both thermoses to him and said, "Ziyi, do you still remember the way to Uncle Liu's house?"
Song Ziyi nodded, "I remember."
"Then go quickly and return this green thermos to them. This red thermos is ours. And by the way, fill a pot of water for their house."
There was a well in the deserted yard, but it was abandoned. She would have to tell Captain Liu when she went to work and ask him to help find a well digger. The well at the entrance of the village was too far away from her and it was not convenient at all. She had to have a well at home.
Besides, to fetch water you need a bucket and a jar, but she has nothing now. The only things she can use to hold water are an enamel basin and a thermos.
Ziyi was very happy to be able to help his sister. He ran with the thermos bottle. The round trip took ten minutes. He came back in eight minutes and filled a pot of water at Liu's house.
