If they hadn't taken their daughter to the hospital for treatment, their family wouldn't be so poor that they couldn't even afford steamed buns!
She took the steamed buns to her daughter and husband, and gave the steamed buns back to them!
"That kind-hearted person doesn't want this steamed bun anymore. Niuniu, you can't just ask for things next time!"
"Mom, but I'm so hungry!"
When the woman saw her daughter, who was so thin that she was just skin and bones, she felt so heartbroken!
The family of three stayed in the cafeteria, and finally when all the food was sold out, they would pour some soup into a bucket, and then someone would take the soup to feed the pigs!
At this time, they would go back with their lunch boxes and ask for a bowl of vegetable soup. At first, people were reluctant to give it to them, but when they saw that they were a family of three, they felt really pitiful, so they would leave a special box for them every day!
But the person who served the food and was supposed to leave a box of soup for them didn't come today, so the others didn't know what was going on. When they went to ask for it again, the person didn't leave any soup for them!
There was no other way, they had to go hungry today. Apart from the steamed bun from Li Mobai, they hadn't eaten anything else the whole day. It was okay for adults and they could get through it, but it was too cruel for a child. She was already sick, but she still had to endure the feeling of hunger!
Li Mobai didn't take this little episode to heart. After returning to the ward, he, Shen Chunyan and his son ate all the food normally. Although their family was well-off, they never wasted food. Food was hard to come by, and no matter what time it was, they could not throw it away casually!
After finishing her meal, Shen Chunyan took her lunch box and prepared to go to the public washing area to wash it!
As soon as I walked to that place, I saw other people coming to wash their lunch boxes. In this era, since there are no convenient disposable lunch boxes for food, everyone brings their own lunch boxes wherever they go!
Shen Chunyan waited for others to finish brushing their teeth before she went over to brush her teeth. While she was waiting, a little girl walked in!
She looked at the lunch box that someone else was about to wash, which still had some soup on it, so she pulled the sleeve of the person who was about to wash the lunch box!
"Uncle, please, can you give me the soup in your lunch box?"
"The man looked at the little girl and guessed that she was hospitalized here, but he couldn't give her the food he had eaten himself!"
"Little sister, you can't eat this anymore. I've already eaten it all!"
"I don't mind, you can let me lick it," the little girl said, picked up the man's lunch box, and licked the soup in the lunch box!
When Shen Chunyan saw the little girl like this, she quickly grabbed her!
"Little sister, you can't eat like this. It's unhygienic and you will get sick!"
"Auntie, I'm already sick, I'm not afraid!"
After the little girl finished speaking, she licked the soup in the man’s lunch box!
Shen Chunyan didn't know what was going on with the little girl. Was she hungry or sick, so she did some abnormal things? But licking someone else's lunch box was too dangerous. What if the other person had an infectious disease?
She looked around and didn't see the little girl's parents, but as a woman who was about to give birth, her maternal love seemed to already exist in her mind!
"Little sister, what do you want to eat? Auntie will buy it for you. Don't drink other people's soup anymore. It's unhygienic."
"My mom said I can't let anyone else buy food for me, so I have to figure it out on my own!"
"Are you too hungry?"
"I just ate a few bites of steamed buns. I'm really hungry!"
The little girl lifted up her clothes and saw that her belly was skin and bones from hunger. Her ribs were clearly visible and there was no meat at all in her belly!
"Why are you so hungry?"
"That's right, whose child is this? Can an adult take care of him?"
When Shen Chunyan saw the girl so hungry, she felt a little sad. Although this was not her daughter, she looked so pitiful!
"Little sister, where are your parents? Take your aunt to find them."
"All right!"
The girl took Shen Chunyan's hand and took her to her ward!
The ward she lived in was an eight-person mixed room, and there were eight patients in it!
After Shen Chunyan went in, she saw the little girl's parents. They were an honest and decent family, but they looked pale and thin, as if they had been hungry for several days!
"Is she your daughter?"
"Has she gotten into trouble again? Did she ask you for anything? I'm so sorry. We've been having a hard time lately, so we haven't been eating as much. I'm so sorry!"
The middle-aged woman was afraid that her daughter would get into trouble. After all, Shen Chunyan saw that the clothes she wore seemed very expensive. If she got into trouble, they really had no way to solve it!
"It's okay, your daughter is quite sensible. Have you not eaten all day?"
"Auntie, I only ate a few bites of steamed buns a day. My dad didn't eat any, and my mom also ate a few bites of steamed buns!"
Shen Chunyan touched the little girl's cute face. It was really pitiful that such a well-behaved child couldn't even have food to eat.
"How about this, Auntie will buy you some food, you wait here, okay?"
"No, no, thank you. We can't ask others for food anymore. The people here are very caring towards us. The main reason is that we are so poor. We have used up all our savings on her medical treatment. We have also sold all our cows and pigs. The old house is unsaleable now. No one wants to buy it. We can't trouble others anymore!"
Hearing the middle-aged woman say this, Shen Chunyan couldn't tell whether what she said was true or false for a moment, but the little girl was so hungry, even if she was deceived, she didn't want to do nothing!
"It's okay. I can still buy you some food. Just wait here. I'll be back in a bit!"
Shen Chunyan said, and left the ward where the little girl came from, and then returned to her son's ward!
When Li Mobai saw Shen Chunyan coming back, he thought she had finished washing her lunch box, so he took the lunch box directly over, but he saw that she still hadn't washed it!
"Is the water out?"
"No, I just met a little girl when I went to the lunch box. She looked so pitiful. She hadn't eaten all day. She took me to her ward. Her parents were also very hungry, so I wanted to buy them some food!"
"You mean a little girl with no hair?"
"Yes, you encountered it during the day too!"
"Yes, I also gave them a steamed bun!"
"That's great! The state-owned restaurant should still have some food. Go buy some for them. They're so pitiful!"
"Okay, don't worry, I'll go buy it!"
