"We are all family, why are you saying this?" Huo Jianguo wiped his eyes, "What's more... I am the one who is holding you back."
"No, Third Uncle, when you were in power, you always helped us all. You were the one who helped me find jobs. I benefited from it then, so it's not a question of whether I'm getting involved or not now." After Huo Wentai ate something, he regained some strength and his thinking slowly caught up.
When Huo Jianguo heard this, he felt even more uncomfortable.
"Cousin, is the village like this because of the snowstorm last year?" Su Miaomiao asked when she saw that Huo Wentai was able to communicate normally.
"That snowstorm was a reason, but even if it hadn't happened, our lives wouldn't be much better now. This village is too poor. We worked almost every day after being sent down to the countryside, but after handing in the grain, each of us still got a lot of food."
"Everyone had nothing to eat, so they could only dig up some wild vegetables from the mountains. Later, when all the wild vegetables were dug up, they could only pick some leaves and dig up some grass roots. When winter came, the leaves and grass roots were gone, so they could only eat soil."
When Huo Wentai talked about all this, he didn't know how he got through it.
"We are late." Huo Jianguo's voice choked with sobs.
"Uncle San, you don't have to blame yourself. I know you must have tried every possible way to come and see us." Huo Wentai was a smart man. He knew very well how much effort it would take to get this kind of visit permit given their family problems.
He didn't even know what his third uncle had done to come and see them.
"The village is in such a state, and the brigade doesn't care?" Su Miaomiao asked.
"Manage? How can we manage it? The situation in every village is almost the same, how can we manage it all?" Huo Wentai's eyes were full of self-mockery.
When Huo Wenbo heard this, his eyes couldn't help but fall on Su Miaomiao.
He now feels that his uncle's family is in an extremely difficult situation, but think about it, if it weren't for Su Miaomiao, they might be in the same situation.
Miaomiao is truly the lucky star of their family.
If one day they could return to the capital, he would definitely put all the good things in the world in front of his little sister!
By noon that day, everyone had recovered a lot.
Even the little carrot woke up and looked at Su Miaomiao curiously with his big eyes.
Su Miaomiao felt a little softened by his gaze and made him another cup of milk.
"You don't have to drink it so often. Just drink it once a day." The child's mother, Huo Wentai's mother, Qiao Zhiyin, said with some heartache.
After all, she is full at every meal now, and she is afraid that her child will not be able to bear it if he goes back to not having a meal for three days.
"It's okay. I brought several cans of milk powder. I'll send it to you after the child has finished eating it." Su Miaomiao said softly.
When Qiao Zhiyin heard this, her eyes suddenly turned red.
Afraid that Su Miaomiao would be annoyed, he immediately turned his head away and wiped it clean with his sleeve.
"Thank you." Qiao Zhiyin's voice was very hoarse.
It didn't matter if their adults starved to death, after all, they had enjoyed so many years of happiness.
The most pitiful one is the child. He is less than 5 years old and doesn’t even understand what is happening.
He only knew that he would no longer have delicious rice to eat, warm clothes to wear, or a soft bed to sleep on.
Even when he was extremely hungry, he would just curl up in her arms, calling for his mother over and over again.
When Qiao Zhiyin heard the shout, she almost wanted to cut off the flesh from her body and feed it to him.
"It's okay, this will all pass." Su Miaomiao has never been a mother, but seeing that Qiao Zhiyin was unconscious, she kept patting the child's back.
You know, she's a good mother.
