Chapter 76: Zong Family, Ren Family



After one night, the snow covered the ground with a thick layer again, and there were obviously fewer people walking around.

Song Yuehua asked Grandma Wang not to come over these days because the road was icy and she might slip if she was not careful.

While he was still able to walk, he asked Master Duan to carry several loads of firewood to the Wang family.

On the third and fourth days of the Chinese New Year, the heavy snow showed no sign of stopping, and the snow on the road was as high as the knees.

Song Yuehua felt uneasy and always felt that the snow was falling strangely.

The sixth day.

Zhou Lizheng came over, panting, leaning on a crutch.

It snowed heavily these past few days, and the village head was worried that the snow would collapse the houses, so he took a few people to check around the village.

Only then did they discover that the beams of several houses were cracked and had become dilapidated. They could no longer live there and had to move in to families with spare houses in the village as a first-come, first-served arrangement.

Zhou Lizheng thought of the few empty rooms in the school and wanted to accommodate some people there.

Song Yuehua agreed without hesitation, "But if they want to heat the kang, I don't have extra firewood here."

Zhou Lizheng waved his hand and said, "As long as there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain, it's enough. Why bother with heating the kang?"

Song Yuehua didn't say much. She knew very well where the boundaries of doing good deeds were. It didn't hurt to lend a helping hand when there was more.

The firewood for the school was estimated based on four kang rooms, two large kang rooms and two small rooms where the teachers lived.

The two extra kang rooms did not have firewood.

Naturally, they would stay here until early spring. The poor family in front of them had heated their kang, but if they didn't, they would offend them for nothing.

Just when Song Yuehua was about to ask about the details, there was a commotion outside.

Zhou Lizheng was hurrying out.

After a while, Liu Xue ran into the house and said hurriedly, "Grandma Lan's house collapsed, and the villagers are calling for help."

Song Yuehua stood up suddenly and said, "Then I'll go too!"

"Hey!" Liu Xue pulled the man back and said, "Your waist is not healed yet. There are so many men in the village, you are not a big problem. Besides, Master Duan has already gone."

Xiaoyu also advised, "Sister, don't go."

Liu Xue stuffed Xiao Bao into Song Yuehua's arms and said, "You stay at home, I'll go take a look!"

Song Yuehua was about to say something when Liu Xue left.

Song Yuehua hurriedly said, "We can't go to the clinic now. Let Master Duan bring the person to the school. I have medicine here!"

Liu Xue nodded. Just as she reached the door, she heard Song Yuehua chasing after her and shouting, "Be careful!"

Song Yuehua handed Dabao and Xiaobao to Xiaoyu, took a bag of medicine and gave it to Madam Xia next door, asking her to make it for Grandma Lan later.

I returned home and boiled another pot of ginger soup. After everything was ready, I was still anxious.

Grandma Lan, and Lan Yu, please don't get into any trouble!

I don’t know how long I waited before I heard Liu Xue’s voice from outside.

She stood outside the door, brushed off the snow on her body, then came in and said.

"Master Duan carried Grandma Lan here on his back. Madam Xia heated the kang and fed her medicine. She has recovered a lot. Lan Yu still wanted to dig out the family belongings, but Master Duan took her back to the school."

Song Yuehua poured her a bowl of ginger soup and asked, "Is everyone okay?"

Liu Xue drank two sips and felt warm all over. She replied, "Grandma Lan was just buried in the snow, and the dog boy next door dug her out. She was frightened and caught a cold. She drank the medicine and it's fine. Everyone else is fine."

Only then did Song Yuehua feel relieved. If the things were gone, they were gone. As long as the people were fine, that was good.

"Wait a minute, send some charcoal to the school. If there's not enough firewood, take two loads from us."

Liu Xuezheng finished drinking the ginger soup, put down the bowl and said, "Okay, I'll send some charcoal over first."

Song Yuehua added, "The old lady recovers slowly, so the kang over there at Grandma Lan's place needs to be kept burning."

We have enough firewood at home. This year, with Erguotou and Gouwazi, I hardly have to worry about firewood at home.

Now that Grandma Lan is like this, we can’t just ignore her.

Not long after Liu Xue went out, she came back and said that Madam Xia had returned the charcoal.

Madam Xia sent Master Yi to live with Master Duan, and she slept on the same kang with Grandma Lan.

However, Bai Shu and Lan Yu have to live with Song Yuehua.

There are only two kang rooms in the house. Bai Shu, Lan Yu and Dabao live in one, and Song Yuehua, Liu Xue, Xiaoyu and Xiaobao live in the other.

Just right, no need to worry about firewood.

At night, two families moved into the school. One family was surnamed Ren. In addition to the old couple, there were the eldest son Ren Dahai, the youngest daughter Ren Xiaoxi, the eldest daughter-in-law Shu, and the granddaughter Ren Xiaomei, a total of 6 people in the family.

Another family was surnamed Zong. Old man Zong died early, leaving Tian to raise two sons. Unfortunately, the eldest son was also unlucky and died of illness five years ago. The youngest son Zong Yi was 16 years old, the eldest daughter-in-law was Wu, and there was a 6-year-old grandson Zong Bai, a total of 4 people.

Although the kang in the school is big, it is not convenient for a girl and a widow to sleep on the same bed.

So the two families decided that all the men would sleep in one room and all the women would sleep in another.

When Lan Yu arrived at the Song family, he knelt down the moment he saw Song Yuehua.

Before everyone could react, they saw him kowtow several times, making Song Yuehua's eyelids twitch.

Liu Xue pulled the man up and said angrily, "Are you addicted to drugs? You take drugs whenever you see anyone."

Lan Yu shook his head and said, "I don't kowtow to everyone I see. I kowtow to those who saved my life."

"Liu Xue, wipe her forehead with wine." Song Yuehua said, looking at Lan Yu's bleeding forehead.

Lan Yu wiped it with his sleeves and said, "No need. It's nothing for a man to bleed a little."

Song Yuehua, Liu Xue, "..."

In the end, Liu Xue still used cotton cloth dipped in wine to wipe his forehead.
