The man didn't care about the heat at all. He held the teacup and drank it all in three or two gulps.
Du Xiaoying looked at him pitifully and took the teacup. "Do you want more?"
He Hong nodded a little embarrassedly, "Sorry for the trouble."
"It's okay, you can rest here without worry." Du Xiaoying added some warm water, "Drink slowly, be careful of the heat."
"Thank you, thank you."
He Hong thanked them repeatedly and his respectful attitude made the couple feel uncomfortable.
"Xiaoying, it's snowing quite heavily outside today—"
Liu Dajiao looked at the ragged man lying on the kang, stunned and standing there in shock.
The three people beside the kang and Liu Dajiao at the door looked at each other. For a moment, the room was unusually quiet.
After a long while, Liu Da Jiao stammered and lowered his head, thinking that he had come at a really bad time and was so anxious that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.
Seeing this, He Hong struggled to get up and hurriedly explained.
"Comrade, don't misunderstand me. Comrade Song and Comrade Du rescued me from outside. I'm leaving now."
After saying this, he forced himself to get out of bed despite his weak body, fearing that he would bring trouble to the kind-hearted people. Besides, he hadn't been home for such a long time, and his wife must be extremely worried.
In an instant, everything went dark and I fell headfirst.
Song Guoliang quickly helped the man up.
Du Xiaoying pulled Liu Dajiao, who was stunned, and sighed, "They are all pitiful people. My Guoliang came back this morning and saw this man fainted outside. If he had been buried in the snow later, he would have been frozen solid and we don't know when he would have been found."
"It's pitiful." Liu Dajiao sighed, "Those people are really pitiful. I heard that they used to be university professors, but now they have become like this."
"That's right. I guess he was so hungry that he went to the mountain to find food. Otherwise, why would he faint outside?"
Du Xiaoying sighed, "Okay, let's stop talking about that and get busy."
....
On this side, Song Guoliang helped the man to the cowshed.
Su Qing heard the noise outside the yard and hurried out. She was stunned when she saw the two of them, and then she saw her husband's pale face and asked hurriedly.
"What's going on?"
"This comrade fainted outside. Fortunately, he was found in time." Song Guoliang briefly recounted what happened and helped the man into the cowshed.
Su Qing's face turned pale, and her legs went weak uncontrollably. Her eyes turned red when she thought about the man almost freezing to death.
Song Guoliang put down the basket he was holding. "There's ginger and some brown sugar in it."
"No, no, we can't accept it. We, as a couple, have no way of repaying your great kindness." Su Qing declined quickly with red eyes.
"Keep it." Song Guoliang said, and went home with the empty basket.
In the room, two adults and three children were already busy.
"Wife, let me help you."
Du Xiaoying rolled her eyes at the man and nudged him into the house with her elbow. "You rushed back last night and didn't sleep all night. Why don't you go to bed quickly? Why are you trying to rush to do the work? Other men wouldn't even help if the oil bottle fell over, but you're always rushing to do the work."
Song Guoliang was scolded by his wife. He touched the tip of his nose awkwardly and smiled ingratiatingly, "Okay, I'll listen to my wife."
"That's more like it~" Du Xiaoying glanced at the man with a smile, "Go to sleep quickly and stop talking nonsense."
"Yes! Wife!"
.....
That night, He Hong developed a high fever, which made the people in the bullpen very anxious.
After hearing this, Du Xiaoying immediately ran to the health center and asked the barefoot doctor to prescribe antipyretic medicine.
He Qing breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her husband's fever had subsided, and with red eyes she was about to kneel down to express her gratitude.
“Get up, get up…”
Du Xiaoying was startled, and several people hurriedly helped the person up.
Xiao Yi's eyes lit up, "Auntie, I told you Auntie Du is a good person~"
Du Xiaoying smiled and touched the little boy's thin body. "Okay, it's nothing. I'll go back first. I still have a lot of work to do at home."
As time went by, the weather became colder.
There was a thick layer of snow on the ground, and the brigade primary school was officially on holiday.
In order not to affect the children's studies, Du Xiaoying basically does not allow the children to touch egg cakes except for appropriate relaxation.
San Ya is obsessed with books. As long as she starts reading, she turns a deaf ear to everything around her.
Daya and Erya took the initiative to take care of the cooking and housework at home. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Erya would run several laps around her home and do some boxing every day.
Si Ya is always available when needed, and takes Wu Ya with her. The two sisters stick together wherever they go.
After making thirty kilograms of pastries, they were all left to cool and put away.
Liu Da Jiao stretched his shoulders, said hello and went back.
Du Xiaoying and the two Niu Niu brothers were so tired that they lay on the kang and didn't want to move at all.
"Erya, help mom run the bag of grain on the cabinet in the main room and take it to the cowshed."
"Make sure the mission is completed."
Watching Erya running away like a gust of wind, Du Xiaoying shook her head with amusement. Her Erya was a girl as fast as the wind.
The three Niu Niu brothers listened to their aunt and didn't say much. When they came, their parents and grandparents had told them to listen to their aunt and uncle, and to talk less and do more.
My sister-in-law must have her reasons for doing this.
Her nephews worked very hard, and she, as their aunt, saw and remembered it. She planned that this year, in addition to the agreed wages, she would give each family some more cloth so that at least one person could make a set of clothes.
She doesn't have time to do it, so she can just buy the fabric and give it to her parents, brother and sister-in-law.
....
Because Du Xiaoying devoted all her energy to making egg cakes every day, and everyone stayed at home in the winter, the task of delivering food to the cowshed was left to the children.
After a few visits, the children became familiar with Old Qin and the others in the cowshed.
Over the past six months, if Du Xiaoying had not provided help from time to time, the cowshed would have had a hard time getting through.
The most important thing is that it rekindled the hope of life for several people who were originally discouraged and wanted to fend for themselves.
Therefore, they were full of gratitude to the Song family, but had no way to repay them, so they could only take advantage of the winter to teach the children what they knew.
Su Qing used to be a young lady from a wealthy family. Because of this, the couple was sent down to the countryside, and she taught her embroidery skills to the attentive Daya.
Old Qin was responsible for the studies of several children and grandchildren. He discovered Si Ya's talent in painting and taught her patiently.
Ho Hong's ancestors were from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. They were demoted because of his wife and shared the joys and sorrows with his wife. In order to prevent his children from being implicated, he published an announcement in the newspaper to sever ties with her before the incident and later arranged a way out for his children.
I originally thought that my medical skills would have no successor, but I didn't expect that this cute little girl in front of me would remember them so clearly after I just mentioned them casually.
Shocked! Excited!
For a moment, he was filled with joy but had no place to vent it. He stared at the soft and tender little girl in front of him with shining eyes.
