Big businessman and little fisherman

Chapter 30 Believe
Last winter, there was nothing to eat at home.

Lu Xiaoyu, the eldest sister and the second sister drank hot water when they were hungry, and they didn't dare to say anything. The three sisters huddled up in the cabin all day and tried not to move as much as possible. If they didn't move, they would save some energy, and they wouldn't get hungry so quickly.

Across a curtain, lay their mother and younger brother.

My younger brother has been around for almost a week, and because he has no food, he can't even crawl.And my mother, who was so hungry that she didn't even have any milk.It was my father who broke the ice and went into the water to catch fish and came back, making the family suffer for another two days.

But later, even if the ice broke, it was difficult to catch fish and shrimp, let alone have money to buy food.

Dad braved the snow all night to go to his uncle's house to borrow food, drank a big ladle of hot water and left in the middle of the night, and hadn't come back the next night.

She was so hungry that she had no energy to speak, and the cry of the little brother next to her mother became smaller and smaller, until finally there was no sound at all.

The second sister said that she seemed to see an old fairy with a white beard and said that he would take her to the sky to see.

The eldest sister asked, is it beautiful in the sky?
The second sister said that she woke up hungry before she saw it, and fell asleep later, and she will take a closer look when the old fairy's house comes again.

She also wanted to say, ask the second sister to take her with her when the old fairy's house comes, and go to the sky together to see, there will definitely be something to eat in the sky.

She can eat whatever she likes, as long as it fills her up.

No, even if she is half-fed, it is enough to have a ration.

But Xiaoyu was so hungry that he didn't have the energy to speak, so he could only lie down softly, waiting for the old fairy's house that the second sister said to come to pick them up.

Later, Dad Maoxue came back with food and sweet snacks.

Dad made gruel, and first fed Xiaowu with rice soup, then mother, then her, the second sister and eldest sister.

In the end, Dad rinsed the rice soup pot with water and drank a bowl himself.

Lu Xiaoyu had never eaten such delicious rice soup. When she ate the sticky rice soup, she wanted to cry with happiness, but she couldn't shed tears anymore.

And those few snacks, she also got a piece.At that time, she thought that it was probably the best thing she had ever eaten in her life.

Even death is worth it.

later……

Later, when Xiaosi came back, Xiaosi said that Weiye could be sold for money, so he did.The family ate meat and made zongzi, and Xiao Si bought two colorful ropes for her and the younger brother for a penny.

It turns out that the most delicious food in the world is not only rice soup dim sum, but also sautéed fatty intestines with spicy peppers, big bones of pig feet stewed with soybeans, and zongzi wrapped with glutinous rice and red beans, served with oily salted duck eggs...

Seeing the tears rolling down Lu Xiaoyu's face again, Lu Yange hurriedly bumped her with his elbow: "Eat, eat, eat while it's hot. I'll buy you horseshoe cakes and almonds when I earn money next time." Cake...I'll buy you whatever you want."

Why are you crying? Isn’t this zongzi not eaten yet?

Lu Xiaoyu turned his head stiffly, looking at Lu Yange who was talking.

Horseshoe cake, almond cake...

What are these things, she has never heard of them, are they more delicious than rice dumplings?

Lu Xiaoyu lowered his head, untied the mat on the zongzi, peeled off the zongzi leaves, revealing the white zongzi inside, lowered his head and took a bite.

Tears mixed with zongzi and bit into the mouth, it was delicious, sweet and glutinous with a hint of saltiness.

Lu Xiaoyu sniffed hard, raised his sleeves and wiped his face, took a bite of a rice dumpling and a duck egg, and started to eat with tears in his eyes.

She ate zongzi, and Xiaosi will buy her horseshoe cakes and almond cakes in the future...

Xiaosi is so nice!

Zongzi is also really delicious, soft, glutinous and sweet.The salted duck eggs are also delicious. When she bit into them, the yellow oil flowed out of her hand.

Li Canguan squatted on his family's boat, watching the Lu family siblings sitting in the bow of the boat eating rice dumplings and duck eggs.

He suddenly didn't want to be a child of the Li family, he wanted to be a child of the Lu family, he wanted to be like a small fish, with fat intestines to eat, meat and bones to eat, and rice dumplings to be salted duck eggs.

Lu Xiaoqing walked onto the bow of the boat with her share of zongzi and duck eggs, and squatted beside Lu Xingge.

She handed the bowl to Lu Xingge: "Xiao Si, you eat."

She sincerely wanted to feed Xiaosi. If there was no Xiaosi, the family would not have copper coins to buy glutinous rice dumplings.

At least, as far as she could remember, no one of them was willing to spend copper money to buy glutinous rice and make zongzi.

37 copper coins, even if the price of brown rice is rising now, you can exchange half a catty of brown rice, which is enough for the whole family to cook wild vegetables for two or three days.

"I won't eat it, sister, you eat it."

Lu Yange straightened his legs, propped his hands back on the board of the boat, looked up at the clear sky, and asked softly, "Eldest sister, do you want to talk like me and second sister Xiaoyu?"

Xiaoyu, who was eating rice dumplings, was stunned, and even Lu Xiaoqing, who was holding a wooden bowl, was also stunned.

What is Xiaosi talking about?What does it mean to talk like them?
"Sister,"

Lu Yange looked sideways at Lu Xiaoqing, with a slightly concentrated expression, and said solemnly: "I heard that stuttering can be cured."

"Do not……"

Lu Xiaoqing shook her head in a panic: "No, no need."

Many people say that stuttering can be cured, but the family has no money to treat her illness.

Besides, this is not a disease, and it does not affect eating, drinking, or working.

At most, at most, she would talk less and go out less, so that there would be fewer people making fun of her.

"Sister, it can really be cured."

Lu Yangge sat up straight, grabbed Lu Xiaoqing's arm, and stopped her from retreating.

The eldest sister is so kind to her, even if she is not the real brother of the eldest sister, she should help the eldest sister.

What a wonderful eldest sister, how could she delay her whole life because of stuttering, so that she would never dare to look up at people or speak loudly.

"Little, little four..."

Lu Xiaoqing bit her lower lip, trying not to let herself cry out.

She thought she was used to it, used to being ridiculed by others, used to being pitied by others, and used to the guilty eyes of her parents when they looked at her.

"Xiaosi, can it really be cured?"

Lu Xiaoyu jumped up, the zongzi in his hand was not so fragrant.

"Yes." Lu Yange nodded.

"Do you want a lot of money?" Lu Xiaoyu took out her pocket and took out the two cents she received last time: "This is for you. We will save money to buy medicine for Eldest Sister."

Even if you continue to eat bran-swallowed vegetables in the future, you don’t eat rice dumplings, fat intestines, water chestnut cakes, or almond cakes.

Lu Xiaoyu was brought up by her elder sister since she was a child, and in her heart, her elder sister is closer than her parents.

Because the eldest sister stuttered, her friends often laughed at her when she was young.It doesn't matter what others say about her, but as long as she is the eldest sister, she and the second sister will definitely not let each other go, and they will not stop until their heads are broken.

What a great thing it would be if the eldest sister recovered.

She is such a good eldest sister, she should be like all good sisters, she should talk to people in a beautiful and open manner.

"for free."

Lu Yange looked at Lu Xiaoqing who was gritted teeth and trembling in front of him, held her arm tightly, and asked, "Eldest sister, you believe me, you can cure your illness without spending money. You are a disease, as long as it is cured, you will be fine." Yes. You trust me, let's try, shall we?"

Lu Xiaoqing's eyes fell on Lu Yange's face, seeing her confident look, her heart gradually loosened.

Xiao Si is so powerful, he can make money selling reed leaves and mats, maybe he can really cure her.

She hesitated for a long time before slowly nodding under Lu Yange's firm gaze: "Okay."

I believe in you, Xiao Si.
