As the saying goes, help in emergencies but not in poverty.
Every family is having a hard time these days. If we agree to borrow money from the Shen family on the spot, there's no guarantee that other families in the village will also have ideas.
So, although I know that the Shen family is having a hard time and the daughter-in-law's words are a bit harsh, what she said is also true.
As the village head, Zhao Desheng could only consider the actual situation and decide to lend some money to the Shen family for emergency.
After all, the little girl is so pitiful!
At this moment, Zhao Li looked at the children of the Shen family, each of whom was as thin as a bamboo pole, and felt uncomfortable.
As parents, when we see our children being so sensible but unable to have a full meal, we may not care when we don’t see it, but when we see it, we will naturally feel heartbroken.
Alas, it’s all because of this natural disaster.
"Hello, Aunt Li. I'm fine now. Thank you for your concern."
Chen Xinli smiled back at her.
In her previous life, when she was a salesperson, she always greeted people with a smile. Seeing this woman take the initiative to greet her eldest brother, Chen Xinli followed her eldest brother's words and greeted her.
"Hey, that's good. You're lucky, girl."
When Zhao Li saw Chen Xinli's smile, she felt warm in her heart. She grabbed something from her pocket and walked up to Chen Xinli.
"Come on, stretch out your hand."
Seeing the two fried soybeans falling on her hand, Chen Xinli was slightly surprised.
"Hey, what is this kid doing? Use both hands quickly, don't let it fall."
Maybe he hasn't come back to his senses yet, Zhao Li thought.
Aunt Li's eyes were so scorching that Shen Xinli felt numb.
In fact, Zhao Li was only thinking about her youngest son. She didn't know what was wrong with the little boy. He just didn't gain weight or grow taller, and he often complained of stomachache. Doctor Lu couldn't find out what was wrong with him.
Zhao Li felt sorry for her youngest child. Looking at the wound on the little girl's head, she couldn't help but feel pity.
Chen Xinli had no idea what the woman in front of her was thinking, so she could only take the handful of fried soybeans and feel warmed by this sudden kindness.
After giving a few to her three brothers, she wrapped the rest in a wild vegetable leaf and planned to take it home.
After Aunt Li walked away, Chen Xinli went into the woods next to her.
After secretly looking around and making sure that no one was around, he called out softly:
"Brother, second brother, third brother, look here are pheasant eggs, pheasant eggs."
"Pheasant eggs?"
"where?"
Under a few trees, there were the ten eggs she had just taken out from the space, scattered in the weeds under the trees.
When the three brothers saw this, their eyes widened instantly.
"One, two, three, four..."
"There are ten eggs in total!"
Shen Jinshan was the first to determine the quantity.
This location is just on a small hillside outside Qianniu Mountain, and it is impossible to see pheasants there normally.
But the pheasant egg my sister found was too big.
Could it be that this pheasant has become a spirit? Shen Jinshan was a little puzzled and frowned slightly, but soon relaxed.
These are eggs. Who would put eggs here unless they were laid by a pheasant?
Without time to think, Shen Jinshan hurriedly told his brothers to be quiet and put the ten eggs scattered in the grass into the backpack.
It was placed just on top of the dug dandelions, and then covered with another layer of dandelions.
"Sister, let's look for it again, maybe there is more."
Shen Yulin licked his saliva and said.
Eggs? He had heard from Qian Tiezhu in the village that they were the most delicious thing in the world.
You can make boiled eggs, steamed eggs, and stir-fry...
He dreamed of having a bite of it.
A few days ago, his mother brought chicken legs to his uncle's house. He knew that it was for his younger sister, so he didn't expect to eat chicken.
He would be satisfied as long as he could eat an egg one day.
"It's daytime, what are you dreaming about?"
Shen Jinshan slapped his cousin on the forehead.
Looking at the eggs hidden in the backpack, Shen Jinshan swallowed his saliva.
Last night he had a dream about a strange place with lush forests, many chickens walking around, and eggs all over the ground.
Just as he was about to pick one up to taste it, he was kicked awake by his younger brother Shen Jinlin, and he could never enter that dream again.
"Hmm? Eggs?"
The egg my sister found was the same size as the egg in her dream.
This thought stayed in Shen Jinshan's mind for less than two seconds before it quickly flashed through his mind.
As the eldest brother, Shen Jinshan always restrained his words and actions, especially in the past few years after his father's leg injury. He subconsciously grew up to take on the responsibility of supporting the Shen family.
But in his dreams, he would instantly become a little boy again, and occasionally eat something delicious in his dreams.
While chopping wood, Shen Jinshan felt that his sister was a little special today.
I couldn't help but follow her figure again.
I saw the little girl picking flower buds from the grass vines.
Perhaps she noticed someone was looking at her, Shen Xinli turned around suddenly and met her brother's eyes.
This elder brother's observation ability seems to be too strong, Shen Xinli thought to herself.
"Brother, this is called honeysuckle. I happened to see him drying it at Doctor Lu's house. I heard it's a medicinal herb that can be sold for money."
"Can it be sold?"
Shen Yushan immediately asked curiously.
"Yes, this is honeysuckle, but it needs to be dried and baked."
This is what Doctor Lu did. I saw it that time.
"Then let's pick them together."
Shen Jinshan tied the firewood with vines and rubbed his hands on his clothes again and again.
The honeysuckle here is quite flourishing, and some are in bloom with a strong fragrance.
The four brothers and sisters worked very hard and collected about three kilograms of honeysuckle buds.
