Just wait till you become a nationally famous young poet!"
Tian Jinbu praised Zhong Yuejin on the surface, but he was very jealous and regretful in his heart. Why didn't he think of this idea first?
Zhong Yuejin also deliberately put the manuscript of the poem into an envelope in front of Tian Jinbu, and then copied the address of the "Poetry Magazine" magazine to which he was submitting the poem.
…
The next day, early in the morning, the snow fell even harder.
Lin Huowang was awakened by a gust of cold wind that blew into the house.
He shivered and opened his eyes, only to find that Liu Rumeng, who had slept in his arms last night, had already gotten up.
"Brother Awang is awake! Come and have some porridge."
Zhao Daniu, who was standing by, saw Lin Huowang wake up and immediately brought him a bowl of hot sticky porridge.
"call……"
Lin Huowang was feeling cold, but after drinking this bowl of hot sticky porridge, he felt warmed up from head to toe.
And Zhang Guizhen, the mother who had been bedridden, was unexpectedly able to get up from bed today.
Although he still walked a little unsteadily, he was in good spirits and his face was glowing.
Lin Huowang immediately shouted in surprise: "Mom! Can you get out of bed? How do you feel now?"
“Much better!
Awang, thanks to you for the eggs yesterday.
Mengmeng cooked another one for her in the morning, and she felt energetic after eating it. "
Mother Lin's face was all smiles, especially when she looked at Liu Rumeng who was busy at the stove. She looked satisfied no matter how she looked at her.
She really didn't expect that she and her two mothers would be kicked out by the Zhang family and they were worried whether they could even survive the winter.
But suddenly, such a virtuous, beautiful and cultured daughter-in-law fell from the sky.
Oh my God!
Lin's mother couldn't even imagine that such a wonderful thing would happen.
She even felt that as long as Liu Rumeng could live a peaceful and stable life with her son Lin Huowang, it would be worth it even if she died right now.
"Awang! Are you awake?
Mom is in much better condition today.
I think my previous illness was caused by lack of nutrition and physical deficiency.
Especially without protein supplement, the body will definitely be weak and defenseless. "
Liu Rumeng, who had learned some high school biology, smiled and said, "Now just eat one egg a day for a few more days and you will be completely healed soon."
"No way! Mengmeng!
For an old woman like me, eating two eggs is already a waste.
There are only a few eggs in total. If I eat one more, you will eat one less.
You kids can eat the remaining eggs.
They are all growing up, so I, an old woman, just eat cornmeal porridge, as long as I don’t starve to death…”
Mother Lin quickly evaded the question and frowned.
In the eyes of a traditional mother like her who is thrifty and selfless in her devotion to her children, eating a little more good food is a huge sin.
Especially when the new daughter-in-law Liu Rumeng just came home, the mother-in-law seemed to be such a "glutton". It was really embarrassing for her son.
"Mom! It's just an egg!
We will find a way to change it after we finish eating. I am an unfilial son and have made you suffer in the Zhang family for so many years.
I swear, I will make sure you all have a good life with meat every meal."
Seeing his mother so terrified, Lin Huowang felt very uncomfortable.
After all, before I was reborn, I was a wealthy man with a net worth of over ten billion. How could I let my mother not even dare to eat an egg?
"Awang, you too.
I picked up the rabbit with great difficulty and exchanged it for this little bit of food and eggs.
We have to eat frugally to survive this winter!
When mom is feeling better, we will go to the dense forest behind the mountain and pick some mushrooms and wild vegetables, mix them with cornmeal, it will save food and taste good..."
After she recovered, Lin's mother talked more and began to teach them some "survival" skills and techniques.
At this moment, Lin Huowang suddenly noticed a small black shadow flashed under the bed, and then a slight "squeak" sound was heard.
"There's a mouse! Brother, a mouse..."
Lin Xiaoxue was eating a pancake happily when she was frightened by a mouse that suddenly slipped past.
"Don't be afraid! With my sister-in-law here, the mice won't dare to come."
Liu Rumeng smiled and hugged Lin Xiaoxue in her arms, but she couldn't help but think of the time when she went to the countryside three years ago.
The first time I saw a mouse crawling across the head of my bed, I was so scared that I screamed and couldn’t sleep the whole night.
But later on, after seeing so many things like cockroaches, rats, and even snakes and weasels that suddenly sneaked into the educated youth compound, Liu Rumeng would stay away from them and would no longer be startled.
However……
At this moment, seeing the forest fire of mice, my heart suddenly sank.
Because he recalled that in his previous life, during the Chinese New Year, a serious rat plague broke out in more than a dozen nearby production teams.
This year has been a year of famine, with the harvested grain down by more than 30%, and rats making the famine even worse.
Under such circumstances, the rats that were originally scattered in nests will slowly gather into groups, causing a rat plague.
There were swarms of rats, destroying countless amounts of food. Many people were even killed by rats in their sleep.
There is still about half a month left until the Chinese New Year, and Lin Huowang knows that he must do something to prevent and stop the rat plague.
Otherwise, many people will die!
In his memory, the third day after his sister's death was Chinese New Year, and a rat plague broke out.
The granary in Linjiagou was completely eaten up, more than a dozen villagers were killed on the spot, and the rat plague also caused an epidemic.
Later, due to heavy snow, the mountains were blocked and Linjiagou was completely cut off from the outside world. Even if there was government relief food outside, it could not be transported in.
A subsequent statistics showed that more than half of the villagers in Linjiagou died of disease or starvation.
The forest fire was raging at the time and I was so hungry that I had no choice but to go into the mountains to find food.
He would always remember that tragic scene. When he came back from the mountains, Linjiagou was littered with corpses that had not been buried in time. It was a completely dead village.
It was not until the snow melted and doctors and relief grain from the commune and the region arrived that the crisis in Linjiagou was resolved and the remaining people were truly able to survive.
