Chapter 17 Guard
The old man said that Baohetang is on Beijie Street, and it is just across this alley.

But why is this alley so long?
And why did that man look at them so strangely just now?How does it look like the eyes of those two people asking for directions today?

The more Dazhu thought about it, the more frightened he became. He dragged his younger sister and walked quickly step by step, not daring to run away no matter how fast he was.

In his heart, as long as he doesn't run, he is not guilty.

Xiao Mian was dragged by her brother, and the brother and sister walked out of the feeling of race walkers.

Walking through the alley, Xiao Mian saw the words "Baohetang" at a glance.

"Brother, look over there, that's the family."

Seeing Baohetang, Dazhu didn't relax, even when he asked the waiter, Baohetang Xiaoer, his mouth was trembling.

"I, let's find my mother, find, find my mother..."

Xiaoer blinked, and came to find a mother.

"Who is your mother?"

Xiao Mian sighed, and said hastily, "My second uncle has a leg injury and lives in our medicine hall. His name is Li Benshan."

"Oh, I see, there is such a person, come with me."

It wasn't until he followed Xiao Er to the inpatient department in the back hall and saw Mrs. Song that Da Zhu heaved a sigh of relief, sat down on the ground, and shouted, "Mom, I'm hungry."

Xiao Mian: I'm hungry too!

Mrs. Song was collecting dried sheets when she saw the two children and jumped.

"What's the matter? What happened?"

The two children's clothes were torn, and there were sweat marks on their faces.

The son's hand is still tied with cloth strips, why is it hurt?

"Who is this? Who bullied you? Huh? Is your grandma acting like a demon again?"

The first thing Song thought of was the trouble of Zhao finding a few children at home.

Da Zhu said urgently: "Mom, I'm hungry, let's get something to eat first."

Xiao Mian said weakly: "It's okay to drool first."

Tired, hungry and thirsty!Still sleepy.

The second aunt was also startled when she heard the movement. Seeing the two children shouting that they were hungry, she didn't care to ask more questions, and hurriedly called Erwang to go out to buy food.

Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Erwang opened his mouth wide in surprise, took the copper coin from Mrs. Li, and ran quickly to buy something.

The brothers and sisters first came to get full of water, and then fetched water to wash their faces.

After tidying up, Erwang also bought Sanhe pies and came back.

The siblings ate and talked about what happened that day, and heard the ups and downs of the other four.

Xiao Mian smiled and took out 17 taels of silver, and Da Zhu proudly took out a pile of copper plates.

The second aunt was so frightened that she quickly closed the door tightly.

If the wealth is not revealed, it cannot be seen by others.

After a while of excitement, Mrs. Song put away the ten taels of silver and pushed the rest to Mrs. Li.

Li Shi was startled, and quickly pushed over.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing? Put it away quickly. The two children earned it. Save it for Dazhu to marry a wife."

"Just take it for you. Pay back the money owed to others first, and then replace it with good medicine for the second brother. Don't I still have ten taels? I will add more when it is not enough."

"Sister-in-law..."

Li wiped away tears.

If it weren't for the sister-in-law, she doesn't know if she can survive these days.

Song stared at her: "Why are you crying? Our family is rich, so we don't need to owe foreign debts, and our second brother can recover soon after taking good medicine. This is all a happy thing, so don't cry anymore."

"I won't cry anymore, I just owe my sister-in-law too much." As Li said, tears finally flowed down.

Mrs. Li shrugged her shoulders, she didn't know whether she was crying sadly or happily, but everyone's heart was moved by crying anyway.

Li Benshan's eyes were red, and he said to the Song family: "Sister-in-law, your brother has written down your kindness."

Song said: "What do you say in a family? You and Dazhu's father are relatives with the same mother and the same robe. Even if we are separated, we are still a family. Talking about kindness is heresy."

Mrs. Li nodded repeatedly, and said in a crying voice: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, elder brother is like a father, and elder sister-in-law is like a mother. From now on, we will obey my sister-in-law. When the children grow up, they must respect you."

Er Wang also said: "Auntie, I also remember, when I grow up, I will honor you with my elder brother."

Li Benshan smiled and comforted Li Shi again, "When my legs get better, I will also go around the mountains, maybe I can find the dendrobium that Mian girl said."

Erwang said firmly, "I'll go with dad."

With Dendrobium, they can pay back the money owed to their uncle's natal family.

Li Xiaomian quickly said: "Even if there is no Dendrobium, there are other herbs."

You can't let Ershu and Erwang focus on finding Dendrobium.

Most of the Dendrobium grows on cliffs, and it is very dangerous to pick them. It would be better not to have any accidents.

It was their luck to find Dendrobium in Luanshipo today. It is difficult to think of a good thing without danger!

The brothers and sisters talked about some things at home.

For example, Xiaosan Shun had diarrhea for two days, and the elder sister boiled Shilayang water.

For example, Sanshun waited in front of the chicken coop for the hen to lay eggs, because the eldest sister said that the eggs belonged to him.

Another example is that Aunt Lihua next door sent two pancakes; Aunt Zhao Qiang gave a big bowl of stewed rabbit meat, and Old Man Li’s grandfather also went to the house to see it twice.

The family talked and laughed, watching the sunset glow in the sky.

"Sister-in-law, there is only one quilt left. I can unpack and wash it by myself. You can take the two children back." Li urged.

My sister-in-law has been with me for ten days, I can't eat well, I can't rest well, she does all the heavy and tiring work, and I lost a lot of weight.

Mrs. Li said again: "San Shun is not worrying about this child. Damai has suffered a lot these past few days. Da Mai can relax when sister-in-law is at home. She is still a child!"

Mrs. Song checked Mrs. Li's head, then nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go home first."

Ten days have passed, and Li's scalp has scabbed over, and she hasn't heard any complaints about headaches, nausea, etc., so it should be fine.

But she still told me uneasy: "Remember to wear a headscarf when you go out."

"Don't worry sister, I will remember."

Hurry up and get on the third grandpa's ox cart, and arrive home in the dark.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Song went to borrow a shelf cart from Aunt Lihua's house, and took a few children to pull stones to build a heated kang.

Damai asked: "Mother, didn't you say that the soil embryos will be harvested in spring and then built again?"

Song said: "Your second uncle's legs can't get cold. They've been hurt for a hundred days. If you take good care of them this winter, they'll be fine next spring."

Oh, it turned out to be a kang for my second uncle's house.

But the stone was pulled back to his home.

Is this also for my brother by the way?
When Li Xiaomian heard that this was for the second uncle's family, she was not happy.

Xiao Mian pulled Song Shi aside: "Mother, you want to let the second uncle's family live in our house?"

Song nodded, "Well, your second uncle's house is too far away, and he can't move. Sanshun is too young, and his body is weak. We can take care of you here."

Ever since Li Benshan's leg was broken and a lot of Li's hair was pulled out, Song felt that the second younger brother's family was protecting their family from disaster.

In her heart, the second brother and younger siblings have endured calamity for herself and Dazhu, and this hardship is now over,

But Sanshun still has a death calamity waiting.

She was afraid, afraid that Xiao Sanshun would die young like in her dream.

So now Sanshun is the key protection object in her heart.

The Song family decided to keep Sanshun by her side, which is why the second brother's family lived here.

Buy more eggs, give this child nourishment, eat well, and when the child grows strong, he will be able to avoid the fate of premature death and grow up, right?
