Liang Qi was enthusiastically pulled into the house by Yang Feier.
This is the first time Liang Qi has met such a gentle woman since he came to this era. This is what they mean when they say a woman is as gentle as water.
"Well, I've eaten, you guys hurry up and eat," Liang Qi said in an unconsciously gentle voice.
"this. . . "
"Wife, Zhenguo and I had dinner at Liang Qi's house." Liu Zhenmeng explained gently.
"Yeah, you and the child should eat quickly. Don't be hungry." Liang Qi said quickly.
"Dad, you are finally back. Baoer is so hungry!" The child woke up in Liu Zhenmeng's arms.
Hugging his father Liu Zhenmeng affectionately.
"I'm sorry, Baoer. Daddy will come back earlier next time so that Baoer won't go hungry, okay?"
Liang Qi looked at the child in Liu Zhenmeng's arms. The child was also skin and bones due to hunger and looked very thin.
"Uh-huh,"
After saying that, he saw Liang Qi standing in front of him.
Liang Qi watched as the child shrank his shoulders in fear, burying his head in his father's arms.
How can it be so cute?
Everyone else saw the child's actions and burst into laughter.
"This is your Aunt Liang, say hello to Auntie." Yang Feier said with a smile while holding her son's hand.
The child then slowly stuck his head out and whispered, "Hello, Auntie," and then quickly retracted his head.
"Hello, baby." Liang Qi looked at the child and said softly.
"Eat quickly, don't let yourself go hungry."
Liang Qi also noticed that these people were a little restrained because of him.
"Okay, then the child and I will eat first." Yang Feier was not polite.
Because the child was waiting for his father and was hungry, he didn't hesitate and asked his son to eat quickly.
Liang Qi looked at the simple wild vegetable soup on the table, nothing else.
"Has your village used up all the grain stored last year?" Liang Qi asked Liu Zhenguo, who was following behind, in a low voice.
"No, last year's harvest was not good, and there is not much left after paying the public grain. It was considered very good to be able to eat until May this year. Now it is July and the food at home is gone.
"Everyone can only go to the mountains to find wild vegetables. Those who can't find wild vegetables have started to fry last year's grain straw, grind it into a fine powder, fry it into dry noodles, add a little water and mix it to eat." Liu Zhenguo wiped his face after saying this.
Then he choked up and said, "It's just that it's very difficult to poop. In June this year, a child suffocated to death because he didn't poop for half a month after eating these things. I told the commune team leader about this, but he didn't care." As he spoke, tears as big as beans fell from his eyes.
Liang Qi didn't know how to comfort her, but her heart became even heavier. She had heard of it before, but it always seemed far away from her and she didn't feel that much.
But being in the present moment, she knows that all these are happening around her. All this makes her more stressed, and it is also a heavy responsibility to live in the present moment.
This water must be there even if it cannot be found.
Moreover, the two villages are so close to each other, but they haven't heard any news about the death. It must have been covered up.
"Didn't you tell the secretary?" Liang Qi felt that the commune would not ignore it. The secretary was also a responsible person, so how could he not ignore it?
"I told the captain that the secretary should know about it. Otherwise, why would he ask us to keep it secret and not alert other people?" Liu Zhengguo said with a face full of reason.
Liang Qi was speechless after hearing this.
"You have to let the secretary know about this," Liang Qi just found out today that things are not very harmonious in this commune.
There are always a few fleas chattering around.
"There's no difference," Liu Zhenguo said, touching the back of his head with a tearful look on his face.
"Just listen to me. There's a meeting tomorrow. Just give it a try. When something happens, you have to find a way to solve it instead of covering it up." Liang Qi said with a look of disapproval.
The two were talking, not knowing that Liu Zhenmeng and Yang Feier had heard their conversation.
They think a lot and don't want Liu Zhengguo to be so straightforward and simple-minded.
The couple looked at each other in tacit understanding.
"Wow! It smells so good, Mom. I want to eat wild vegetable soup tomorrow." The child's voice sounded.
Interrupted Liang Qi's thoughts.
Liang Qi knew so much, so he naturally knew why the child liked wild vegetable soup.
"Okay, Mommy will make it for you tomorrow," Yang Feier wiped the child's mouth and coaxed him softly.
"Hehe, that's great. Even if I'm hungry at night, I can bear it." He smiled innocently with eyes as big as grapes.
Liang Qi felt sad when hearing the child's innocent words. The child looked even younger than her daughter Xiao Fenghuang.
At such a young age, I already understand the hard work of my mother and father and know that it is not easy to have enough food.
"Baby, what's your name?" Liang Qi said, and then he remembered that he had food in his backpack, so he took out his backpack and took it.
The child stood up timidly, huddled in his mother's arms, and looked curiously at Liang Qi who was speaking.
Yang Feier gently touched the child's head to encourage him.
Encouraged by her mother, the child leaned on her shoulder and whispered, "My name is Baoer."
"Hello, Baoer, come here, auntie will give you something delicious." Liang Qi took out a few steamed buns and homemade sugar cookies from her bag.
The child looked at his mother with sparkling eyes, swallowed his saliva, and then looked at his mother.
He wouldn't eat it unless his mother said so, even though he was very greedy and wanted to eat it.
"Liang Qi, no need, take it back," Liu Zhenmeng said hurriedly.
He ate at other people's houses and now he's taking food away from them. What has he become?
"Secretary Liu, don't worry about it. This is for my child, not for you."
Liang Qi ignored Liu Zhenmeng and stuffed all the things into Yang Feier's arms.
"I..." Yang Feier wanted to refuse, but when she saw how skinny the child was, she couldn't bear to leave.
Liang Qi did not give them a chance, "I am an elder and I want to give you a child, you have no right to refuse."
"Woo, thank you, thank you," Yang Feier felt that she could not hold on any longer, and it didn't matter if they adults suffered a little.
But seeing the child suffer with them, her heart was broken and she was powerless to feed the child.
Watching the child drink cold water when he was hungry, without food, the child would have no nutrition, and the child's body became thinner and thinner, visibly becoming just skin and bones.
That parent doesn't care about his or her child.
"You're welcome."
Baoer looked at his aunt in front of him, tilting his head to look at her.
"Thank you, auntie." Baoer said timidly.
He saw his mother taking the food from his aunt.
My mother said that you should say thank you when someone gives you something, and you can return the favor when you are able to, or you can help someone if they need help.
He always remembered these words.
"You're welcome." Liang Qi touched the child's head.
"Auntie, how can I help you?" The child gradually grew bolder.
"Auntie just wants you to grow up well." Liang Qi looked at the child seriously and said.
Baoer thought about it and thought, what's so difficult about it? "Then I'll listen to my aunt," and nodded heavily.
