Chapter 2 Family Reunion
As soon as the child started crying, Xia's mother also started crying, "Wow, Rongrong, don't cry, don't cry." She didn't know what was wrong with the child, but she felt uncomfortable when the child cried.
The clothes were exposed. Xia Yutong was not an ancient person, but she knew common sense very well. It turned out that Xia's mother had no milk and the child was hungry.
"Mom, put on your clothes first. I'll go cook now. You can drink some soup and then feed Rongrong." She had no choice but to stew the chicken first.
Fortunately, she came, otherwise this family would not be able to survive.
The original owner's father took his four-year-old son out to work. Why did he take his four-year-old son with him?
It was because the boss had a child at home and wanted to find some companions, so he let them take their children to the town.
Xia Yutong worked quickly. In about half an hour, the chicken soup was ready. She scooped a large bowl of it from the broken bowl and brought it into the house.
"Mom, drink some soup first and see if you have milk. If not, feed Rongrong some soup later." After saying that, Xia Yutong handed the bowl of soup to Xia's mother.
The child was tired of crying. His whole face was red, black and red, and his hair was as dry as straw.
Seeing Xia's mother take the bowl of soup, Xia Yutong held the child in her arms.
The original owner was not very old, only seven years old this year, and was very thin, but she had no difficulty in picking up an even thinner child.
Mother Xia stared blankly at the bowl in her hand, not knowing what she was thinking. It was a while before she started drinking.
Xia Yutong didn't care and started to tease the child directly. She still liked the child very much. Of course, what she liked most was not the child itself, but the child's clear eyes.
"Rongrong, be good. You can eat soon." I hope that after Mother Xia finishes drinking the soup, she will have milk.
Mother's milk is magical. When Xia's mother drank the soup, milk came out unconsciously.
It was clear, not at all like the milky white color she had seen before.
But it's better than nothing.
"Mom, how about I feed you and you feed Rongrong some milk?" Looking at the wet clothes, Xia Yutong said.
She knew that she couldn't wait for Mother Xia's response, so she gently placed the child in her arms and took the bowl.
The bowl was a bit big and the soup was a bit hot, so Xia's mother didn't drink it all and there was still half a bowl left in it.
As soon as the child was in her arms, Mother Xia naturally handed the bowl to Xia Yutong, picked up the child and lifted up his clothes.
Seeing her do this, Xia Yutong smiled.
"Mom, I'll feed you."
Finally, two mouths were fed, and the child fell asleep after drinking.
Mother Xia was also tired. Seeing that she looked exhausted, Xia Yutong asked her to sleep with her younger sister.
She had to take a good look around this shabby house to see if she could find anything.
It's funny to say, their family has been kicked out for three or four days, but unfortunately no one has come to take a look.
Even if he was the village chief, he would not care.
Xia Yutong didn't comment on this, but she wouldn't let her family continue living in the village.
At night, dinner was already prepared. Because there was no rice or flour at home, Xia Yutong did not dare to take it out. Father Xia was not stupid. He was not as easy to fool as Mother Xia.
She didn't dare to challenge the bottom line of human beings again, so she found some sweet potatoes in the fields on the side of the mountain. Some were very small, and the largest was only the size of two fingers.
But it's better than having nothing to eat.
There were a lot of things in the space, including all kinds of food, but it was not suitable to take them out now. She could only eat sweet potatoes, but they tasted good and sweet.
I don’t know what happened to Father Xia. The stars in the sky are out but he still hasn’t come back.
Xia Yutong was very worried. If something happened to them, she would not be able to complete what she promised to the original owner. She was not a person who liked to owe others anything.
But no matter how anxious she was, she couldn't leave here because there were two weaker ones in the room to take care of.
Xia Yutong built a fire not far from the bed. There was no other way. It was very cold at night, not to mention that they lived in this drafty house.
Mother Xia fell asleep with the child, and Xia Yutong was the only one waiting for people. She didn't dare to fall asleep.
She would not be able to truly relax until she saw Father Xia return home with her own eyes.
I don’t know how long it took, so long that when the firewood was almost burned out, a sound finally came from outside.
Xia Yutong ran out quickly and was very surprised when she saw the person with the torch.
"Dad, what happened to you?" A group of people were carrying a man. The man's face looked familiar. He was the original owner's father, Xia Feng.
Standing at the front of the crowd was the younger brother Xia Yuxuan. A weak person like him could easily be overlooked.
"Sister, don't worry. Dad is injured. Let him go home first." Xia Yuxuan said very maturely.
At this time, Xia Yutong remembered this little brother, glanced at him, and stepped aside.
"Brother, what happened? Why did Dad get injured? Didn't you go to work for the boss?" Xia Yutong asked anxiously.
The people who brought Xia's father back were his colleagues, and their boss asked them to bring the father and son back today.
When they got into the house, Xia's mother was also awakened by the noise, but the first thing she did when she woke up was to hug her child tightly, an instinctive reaction.
"Mom, don't be afraid, it's Dad who's back." Seeing Xia's mother like this, Xia Yutong walked over and patted Xia's mother's back gently and said.
After putting Xia Feng down, the people said goodbye to him one by one and left.
Now the whole family is finally together.
Xia Yutong couldn't help but go forward to check her father's injuries.
Seeing that his leg was tightly wrapped and covered with bright red blood, her scalp tightened.
"Dad, what's going on?" Xia Yutong asked nervously.
Without waiting for Xia's father to come back, Xia Yuxuan started crying and told him what happened today.
It turned out that they went to play with the boss's children, but who knew that the boss's children went too far and treated them like toys instead of human beings.
Several children who went with them were injured to varying degrees, and because he was the youngest, he was disliked by the children from the host family. When they saw that no one was playing with him, the children from the host family started to set their sights on him.
The boss was renovating his house, and his son asked him to go see his father, but who knew...
Halfway through his speech, Xia Yuxuan burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably.
Xia Yutong was so angry that she thought people who only spoke half of the words were the most annoying.
"What does this have to do with Dad?" Xia Yutong asked anxiously.
Xia Feng looked at his daughter's worried eyes, and his heart softened. He touched her head and said, "Dad is fine. The boss has compensated us. We can buy rice and cook tomorrow."
The wound hurts, but so what? It’s better than having no food to cook at home.
"Sister, Dad injured his leg while saving me, woooo." Xia Yuxuan shouted.
