Yi Xiaoqiu laughed angrily. After eating her dumplings, he only remembered now that he had no money?
"Hurry up and wash it and put some medicine on it. I have two old cotton-padded clothes here. I'll lend them to you."
Yi Xiaoqiu said that he was borrowing clothes, but he didn't want to give them a bargain.
In addition, Yi Xiaoqiu could somewhat see Guo Xiaochuan's concerns.
"I'm not doing this to you for no reason. Tell me, what can you give me in exchange?"
After Yi Xiaoqiu finished speaking, Guo Xiaochuan really started to think about it seriously.
Yi Xiaoqiu placed a basin of water in front of him and went to look for clothes.
How could she alter clothes?
He rolled up the old cotton-padded jacket and a few old coarse cloth clothes and said, "You guys sit in the room for a while. I'm going to go out for a while."
As he said that, Yi Xiaoqiu ran out of the inner room, closed the door of the inner room, then closed the main door, and quickly entered the farm.
Yi Xiaoqiu didn't care about not sewing during the first month of the year, so she gave the clothes to the robot butler.
"Butler, here comes the matter! We need to make this into smaller cotton-padded jackets and trousers. One is eleven or twelve years old, and the other is sixteen years old. They are both very small." Yi Xiaoqiu compared the heights of Guo Xiaochuan's brother and sister to the butler.
"It's okay if it's a little bigger."
"It's yours." The housekeeper took the old clothes and said.
Yi Xiaoqiu wanted to make two more pairs of shoes, but making shoes was a bit troublesome.
The soles of the shoes are a big problem.
"Butler, can you make cotton shoes?"
"Okay," the butler's voice was as mechanical and quiet as ever.
"What about the soles of the shoes?"
The butler didn't say anything for a long time.
"Forget it, I won't embarrass you. I'll figure out a solution for the soles of my shoes!"
Yi Xiaoqiu hurried out of the farm and opened the door to the inner room.
Xiaocao sat obediently on the kang, just like before.
Guo Xiaochuan stood there, not knowing what he was thinking about, with excitement on his face. "Why haven't you washed yet? Hurry up and soak your hands and feet, the water is getting cold." Yi Xiaoqiu reminded him as he entered the room and looked at the still steaming water.
"Oh." Guo Xiaochuan came back to his senses and stopped being shy. He quickly washed his hands and feet. The ointment was on the table, but he didn't take it.
Yi Xiaoqiu drove him to the kang and gave him the medicine, "Apply it on yourself."
Seeing the two of them sitting obediently on the kang, Yi Xiaoqiu bent down and picked up their shoes.
The shoes had thousand-layer soles, which had been worn down to the point where only a thin layer of cloth was left. Just looking at them made my feet feel cold.
Yi Xiaoqiu simply gave up the idea of using old soles.
When Gu Xiaochuan saw Yi Xiaoqiu carrying the worn-out shoes of his brother and sister, he didn't know what she was thinking and felt a little uneasy.
"Sister Zhiqing, I thought of something to exchange with you."
Yi Xiaoqiu really didn't care what he could exchange for. After all, she just said that on purpose so that he could accept her intention with peace of mind.
"Have you thought about it? Want me to help?" Yi Xiaoqiu was still thinking about how to quickly get two pairs of warm shoes for the two little ones, and his tone was a little nonchalant.
"Yeah." Without waiting for Yi Xiaoqiu to ask, he told Yi Xiaoqiu everything he could give.
"I know about the Wang family's treasure. I'll trade it with you." Guo Xiaochuan's face was extremely serious.
Why is it the Wang family treasure again? Is this treasure so destined for her?
Yi Xiaoqiu didn't believe that such a young child could know anything. "Xian, I know about this. What do you want to change?"
Seeing that she didn't believe her words, Guo Xiaochuan became anxious, "Sister, what I said is true."
One time, he was so hungry that he could not bear it anymore. When he went to the back mountain to find food, he saw his cousin Wang Laogen looking for something on the mountain. He looked like he had not found anything. All the way, he kept muttering to himself like a possessed person: treasure, col, black boulder.
Those who had been in the Seventh Company for a long time knew a little about the Wang family. Guo Xiaochuan knew what the old man Wang was talking about after a quick thought.
"Xiaochuan, don't tell this to anyone else. No matter whether it's true or not, it's a life-threatening matter." Yi Xiaoqiu's face was serious.
Guo Xiaochuan lowered his head. "Sister, I didn't lie to you. I heard from Old Man Wang himself that it was at the bottom of a valley with a huge black rock, but Old Wang himself couldn't find it."
At the bottom of the valley, there was a huge black rock that Yi Xiaoqiu felt was somewhat familiar.
But after thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn't figure out where it was, so I stopped thinking about it.
Yi Xiaoqiu really wanted to help the brother and sister.
If I met these two siblings at other times, I would have to consider whether the matter was true or not.
But in this cold winter, the frostbite on the two men could not be faked.
Such a young child was frozen to this state, and the owner didn't even give him food. It was obvious that he didn't intend to give the child a chance to live.
Yi Xiaoqiu really couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
"Xiaochuan, I lend you clothes and give you food, but that's only temporary. If you can't protect them, your sister will still have to suffer with you. You have to learn to rely on adults to protect yourself and your sister."
Guo Xiaochuan's eyes lit up, "Sister, I want to leave that house, is that okay?"
He had thought a lot just now. If he had never felt warmth, he would not yearn for it.
Having owned it, he didn't want to go back to the home that no longer belonged to him.
This was something he had dreamed of doing. He had originally thought of leaving with his sister when he grew up...
It wasn't easy for someone to help him, and he didn't want to miss it.
He originally thought that what he gave would be of some use to the other party, but he didn't expect that Sister Yi didn't care at all. Could his wish still come true?
Yi Xiaoqiu was shocked. She really didn't expect that Guo Xiaochuan would be so bold.
How old was he? Thirteen! He was leaving that cold home with his sister and supporting himself and his sister alone. How much determination did that take!
"Have you considered it?"
Guo Xiaochuan's eyes showed a maturity and determination that was not in line with his age. "Sister Yi, I miss you. I dream of taking my sister away from that cold home. I have a job now and can support my sister."
Yi Xiaoqiu thought about the feasibility of this matter. To be honest, if Guo Xiaochuan relied on himself to survive with his sister, Yi Xiaoqiu felt that it would be very difficult.
But if they lend a hand, Guo Xiaochuan and his sister can still make ends meet.
Anyway, she has no shortage of money now, so she might as well consider it as sponsoring orphans.
Guo Xiaochuan was very nervous when he saw Yi Xiaoqiu didn't say anything for a long time.
The courage that he had worked so hard to muster gradually dissipated.
"Okay, but you have to be independent from home on your own." Yi Xiaoqiu looked at Guo Xiaochuan seriously.
She couldn't interfere in this matter, so she could only rely on Guo Xiaochuan's own determination.
"What if they really sell my sister?" Guo Xiaochuan looked at Yi Xiaoqiu eagerly.
When Guo Xiaochuan heard that he had to face everything alone, he felt a little nervous.
"Trafficking women and children is illegal. If you want to eat flower rice, do you dare to report your own father?"
Guo Xiaochuan clenched his fists, "I dare you! If anyone bullies my sister, I will fight him!"
Yi Xiaoqiu shook her head. "Your sister is your father's daughter. He decided to marry the old cripple. You can't do anything to him."
"But he didn't treat us as his own children at all. He didn't even give us enough rice bran to eat! Why did he sell my sister?" Guo Xiaochuan's eyes were red.
The Guo Dazui couple really went too far. The Seventh Company is a grain-producing brigade, and it is no problem for every household to have enough food to eat, otherwise Gao Xiaowen would not have the audacity to refuse to pay.
