The wind blew so hard at night that I could hear the humming sound outside even while lying in bed.
Little Lihua has grown from a kitten to a half-grown cat, and the color of its body is exactly the same as its mother's. However, the adult cat has never appeared since they were weaned, and it is unknown whether it is still alive.
Ye Zhiqiu hugged its furry body and suddenly felt uneasy.
This is an emotion I have never experienced before.
She tossed and turned, but finally got up from the bed. As soon as she opened the door, a biting cold wind blew towards her, seeming to pass through her body, causing even her bones to feel a tingling sensation.
The weather has turned completely cold.
As a child who grew up locally, Ye Zhiqiu knew that after the cold wind, winter would come completely, which would also be the most difficult time of the year.
Because in winter, not only are there no wild vegetables to fill our stomachs, but we also have to endure the attack of the cold.
Even if there is a stove in the house, it is impossible to stay at home all day and do no work.
This year, her life is full of hardships, but she is also lucky.
She lost her mother, but she also gained a master. She no longer had to face her paralyzed grandmother who loved to curse, nor did she have to deal with the tedious housework of the Zhou family. Although she had to do a lot of things with her master, she could have enough food and clothes, and she could also learn knowledge that she had never been exposed to before to enrich herself.
She... is really lucky.
She stood at the door and looked around blankly for a long time. The already dark sky was even more hazy. She was so cold that her whole body was chilled. She turned back to get her cotton jacket and put it on.
This is the cotton-padded jacket her master gave her. Although it is a bit big, it is soft. Unlike the old jacket she wore in previous years, which was her mother's, the cotton inside had been there for many years and was so hard that it could probably break someone's head and cause a bloody mess if it was taken out.
There was a pile of firewood outside the wall of the fenced yard. There seemed to be a dark shadow next to the firewood, but the sky was too dark today and the vision was blurry and unclear.
She walked over bravely, only to find that the dark shadow was actually her own brother. He was squatting there, hugging his legs with his hands, his head buried in his knees, curled up tightly, and no one knew how long he had been there.
"Xiao An..."
Ye Zhiqiu exclaimed, stepped forward and hugged the person in his arms.
Zhou An was still conscious. He opened his tired eyes and looked at his sister. He could no longer hold back his tears and burst into tears.
"Sister, sister, I miss you so much... I miss mom so much... Please don't leave me!"
Ye Zhiqiu couldn't be strong either. She looked at her poor brother, who was still so young and wearing such thin clothes in the cold weather. The fence was not high, and he could obviously step over the fence and knock on the door to ask for help, but he didn't. Instead, he chose to squat here alone.
Because she once said that she was also staying here temporarily, and it was already a great benefit for her to give him something to eat occasionally. She really couldn't be so shameless as to beg the master to take him in as well.
"What's going on? Why aren't you sleeping at home?" She could only ask about the situation first, "Did they bully you?"
Zhou An shook his head. "I dreamed about my mother. I missed you, so I came here secretly. Sister, can I sleep with you for one night? I have to go home tomorrow."
The expectation in his eyes made Ye Zhiqiu unable to bear to refuse.
"Okay, I'll sleep here today."
The bed in Ye Zhiqiu's room was not big, because she originally lived in the clinic and the bed was originally prepared for patients to use temporarily, but it was given to her to sleep on only because she came.
Zhou An’s body is not very big, so the two siblings can sleep together snuggling together.
