In the evening, Lu Ming came back and was surprised to see the children's new clothes hanging outside.
"Hey, you made clothes for them. How did you make them this color?"
Zhang Anan was busy with his work without even raising his head, and he didn't forget to reply.
"That was sent by Brother Jianxin's sister-in-law. They said it was a thank you gift. There's also this pair of dried vegetables in my hand. Oh, and there's something wrapped in red paper on the table. They said it's for you. I haven't opened it yet. See if it's still there."
Lu Ming actually found a red envelope on the table.
When he opened it, he found that there were receipts for bicycles and sewing machines which are very valuable nowadays. These things are difficult for ordinary people to get nowadays. It is estimated that this was brought back by his brother Jianxin.
Zhang Anan saw that he had not come out for a long time.
I couldn't help but ask, "Sister-in-law, what was sent?"
"Oh, it's bills, for a bicycle and a sewing machine. As for the bicycle, I'm planning to find an excuse to get one later. Do you need a sewing machine? Let's see if we can get one similar to the one I have now. If we don't have one, we'll have to buy one."
Lu Ming planned to use this opportunity to move his bicycle across the open road, making travel more convenient.
"Let's get the bikes out after a while. If I get too many at once, people will gossip. I don't want to give the whole group a topic to talk about."
Zhang Anan also wanted it, but she had to think long-term. Given their family's current situation, it was difficult to even get a bicycle, let alone a sewing machine. If they got both, it would clearly tell others that there was something wrong with their family.
By then, the group of people in the Lu family's old house alone will be troublesome enough, not to mention other people who are jealous of their family. It is estimated that someone is already eyeing their family.
…
The next day, just as the sky was getting light, Zhang Anan was awakened by a knock on the door. A little dazed, she reached out to shake Lu Ming who was hugging her tightly.
"Wake up, wake up, someone is knocking on the door. Something must have happened. Go and have a look."
Zhang Anan shook him gently, but Lu Ming didn't respond at all. It was unclear whether he did it on purpose or if he really hadn't woken up.
She was so angry that she pinched the numb tendon on his arm.
"Ah! It hurts! You're going to be a widow! You're so cruel!" Lu Ming was awakened by the pain and arched his head hard towards Zhang Anan.
"Hey, stop it, there's someone knocking on the door. Go check it out. Is it someone coming to see you for medical treatment? Why are you still hesitating?"
Zhang Anan pushed his head hard and said helplessly, he was getting more and more demanding. Zhang Anan felt that her resistance to him was getting weaker and weaker. If he continued like this, his conspiracy would succeed sooner or later.
Lu Ming stopped what he was doing, tilted his head and listened for a while, and found that there was indeed a knock on the door. He immediately put on his clothes and ran out.
"Uncle, what's wrong with you? Is there anything wrong so early in the morning?"
Lu Ming discovered that it was an honest uncle named Lu Lao Da in the team. His face was full of anxiety, and he guessed that something really happened.
"Jianmin, no, Lu Ming, please come to my house and help check. They are all motionless, but their bodies are still warm. No matter how much I call them, they won't wake up."
Boss Lu's face was full of anxiety. When he saw Lu Ming coming out, he pulled him and was about to run out.
"Hey, uncle, wait a minute," Lu Ming staggered and almost fell down after being pulled by him. It was Zhang Anan who came from behind and helped him up.
"Here, take it, go!"
Hand over the medicine box.
"An An, go back and sleep for a while, I'll be back soon."
After Lu Ming took it, he gave some instructions and followed Boss Lu away.
"Uncle, what happened? Who fainted?"
Lu Ming asked as he ran.
"It was your brother Jianzhu and the others. Your aunt went to wake them up to work this morning, but she couldn't wake them up. That's why I came here to ask you to go check on them."
Boss Lu told me what he knew. After all, he was not the one who called, so he was not very clear about the details.
The two of them ran all the way and finally arrived at their home. Their running figures on the road were still discovered by some people who got up early. Those who had the gene of watching the fun in their bones followed them one by one to watch the fun.
When Lu Ming and the others arrived, they found the yard was quiet and there was no sound of anyone. Boss Lu was so scared that he pushed open the door of his room.
I saw his wife, called Aunt Qian, eating, holding a half-eaten egg cake in her hand. When she saw the door was opened, she quickly hid the hand holding the food behind her back and wiped her mouth with the other hand.
Lu Ming was confused by her behavior.
Didn't I ask him to come see the doctor? Why is he hiding here and eating secretly?
"Uncle, take me to see how Brother Jianzhu and the others are doing."
Lu Ming pulled Boss Lu and walked out.
After Boss Lu realized what was happening, he brought Lu Ming to a dilapidated house next door. Lu Ming looked at the situation and found that Brother Jianzhu was in the same situation as the original owner. He was probably also a pitiful person.
Lu Ming reached out and took their pulses for a while.
It was discovered that the two adults had fainted from hunger and the two children were sleeping soundly.
Lu Ming was speechless at the diagnosis. How long would he have to starve himself to death?
When he thought about what he had just seen, he knew that his uncle could not be the head of the family.
Using the medicine box as a cover, a few glucose bottles were transferred out of the space.
I opened them one by one and fed them two each.
"No, Lu Ming, what did you feed them? What's wrong with them?"
