Chapter 18 Chapter 18
Occasionally when I am awake, I enjoy the warm kneading of my parents, grandma and sisters.

Who made the flesh on her body become softer day by day.

The little buds are pinched comfortably, and they can still giggle, making the whole family happy.

Before I knew it, a month passed, and it was the end of the twelfth lunar month.

On the bed, Grandma Wu asked her five little granddaughters to sit on it, it was so warm.

Xiao Xiya is being amused by her sisters, and her voice is louder than the tomboy's wheat and the crazy rice.

Grandma Wu smiled and said to Zhao Lian who was holding the soles next to her, "It will be the New Year in a few days. Your Aunt Qian said that if it doesn't snow, let the old Niutou drive the ox cart tomorrow and take the women in the village to the town to buy New Year's goods."

"We still have some tickets at home. Take them with you. If you see the right ones, buy some for the children."

As he spoke, he took out an old gold earring from under the pillow: "Take this with you and go to the bank to change some money."

When Wu Bo saw it, he frowned slightly: "Mother, we can't take these things outside. They were found out, so we can't tell."

Their family's situation is special, even if Grandma Wu married Grandpa Wu and left the Jin family.

When the Jin family was in chaos, the Wu family was not spared either.

Both the house and the outside were smashed and searched, and everything was required to be confiscated.

If people find out, I'm afraid it will be unclean again.

How could Grandma Wu not know, but there was nothing at home, a few children, and even a pair of shoes in the cold weather, and they were running in the snow in bare straw sandals.

His hands and feet were so cold that they were beyond recognition, and he had chilblains all over him.

The small face was also red, and the chapped mouth was opened.

The clothes are all worn out clothes from other people's homes, and the big ones are worn in small ones when they come back.

I don't know how long I've been wearing it, I changed it and changed it, but I lost a good piece of land.

Cotton is harder than rocks, if you don't stuff some straw and catkins inside, you can't wear it at all.

The outer fabric is rotten, and it will crack and slag if you move it a little.

Several children have been in their home for so many years, and they have never gotten a new item.

She looked really distressed.

This year, with the light of Xiya, I can get some food every day, and my life is no longer so tight.

She just wanted to buy something for the children to make them happy.

"It's okay, just this one, it won't change much, no one will tell."

"I'm not afraid to say it, it's just this one, if it's gone, I won't be able to find it if I turn our house upside down."

"The tickets are all for this year, so there's no need to expire them. You can use them up during the Chinese New Year."

"Just this time, when Xi Ya came to our house, we were all happy."

Grandma Wu has said so, and Wu Bo and Zhao Lian can't refute anymore, they also feel sorry for the child.

Zhao Lian replied: "Then I will go to see it with my aunt and the others tomorrow, and the child will be looked after by the hard-working mother."

"What's the hard work, the children are obedient, so I don't need to worry about it. You should pay attention to safety and put on all the clothes at home, so you don't get sick from the cold."

Poor families like them have at most two sets of clothes a season and one set of cotton-padded jackets in winter.

You can wear these clothes.

It's okay when it's not cold, but in the twelfth lunar month of winter, you have to wear clothes for all seasons to feel a little warmer.

In many families, the whole family only has one padded jacket, and everyone wears it in turn, and whoever goes out wears it.

Others just stay at home.

The Wu family is considered well-off, at least everyone has a cotton-padded jacket.

There is no way, life is like this, although it is bitter, no one complains.

Zhao Lian should be fine.

Damai and the others were very excited when they heard that Zhao Lian was going to the town. They had never left the village yet, but they were all sensible, and no one clamored to follow her.

Xi Ya is only interested in eating, and not so much in other aspects.

She didn't care a bit whether she went to town or not.

I kicked my little feet and wanted to sleep again.

The baby's body is really dozing off a lot.

The next day was a sunny day, the sun was shining, and the ox cart could go to the town.

Early in the morning, Aunt Qian came to call Zhao Lian.

Since the incident with Grandma Wu, the Wu family and the village have walked more frequently, and the relationship has improved a lot.

Aunt Qian intentionally brought the Wu family into the village, and would often bring Zhao Lian with her. Whether she was the captain's wife or she had compassion for the Wu family, both public and private, it was all good intentions.

In the past, everyone thought that the Wu family was noble, and they were not willing to associate with the village, so they were also unwilling to associate with the Wu family.

After the Grandma Wu incident, they got to know each other again, changed their views a lot, and got along well.

Zhao Lian packed up briefly, and followed out with a bag.

Xiao Xiya hasn't woken up yet, and it's hard for Wu Bo to get up, lest he run out of heat and freeze the villain.

He only told Zhao Lian to pay attention to safety in the house, and to go early and return early.

Before Zhao Lian left, she cooked rice soup for Xiya.

Not long after dawn, Xi Ya woke up.

Wu Bo hugged her to wash his face, urinate, and feed her.

Xi Ya, who had eaten breakfast, was very energetic, and was carried to Grandma Wu's bed.

After the four Damai sisters woke up, each of them ate half a sweet potato and a large bowl of hot water, and also slept in Grandma Wu's bed.

Grandma Wu taught them to recite, and then taught them a few words.

Xiao Xiya listened to it, read it, and made a sound like that.

Wu Bo took the thatch and sat aside to weave straw sandals. After the spring came to the ground, his bare feet couldn't bear it, so he had to wear straw sandals.

Occasionally he also weaves some bamboo weaves, either for his own use or at a supply and marketing cooperative for exchange.

However, bamboo is limited, and he can't weave much.

While he was busy, someone shouted from outside the yard.

"Brother Wu Bo, are you at home?"

Wu Bo hurriedly got up and went out. The person who came was Wang Shangui's youngest son, Wang Qiangguo, a guy in his early twenties, full of enthusiasm.

The new daughter-in-law who just married after the autumn harvest looks even more happy.

"It's a powerful country, what's the matter? Is there something wrong?"

Wang Qiangguo said with a smile: "Brother Wu Bo, the weather is fine today, we have an appointment with a few people, we are going to go to the mountains to see, set up a trap, try to catch pheasants and hares, and add some food during the Chinese New Year, do you want to come together ?”

Calling Wu Bo was also ordered by Wang Shangui.

Wang Shangui seldom came to Wu's house. After the last time he came, he knew that Wu's family was poor, but he didn't expect it to be so poor. He was so poor that he felt that his family was too rich.

As the team leader, he also wanted to pull the Wu family as much as possible.

So I told my son, if there is anything, anyone who can call Wu Bo will call, and if he can go or not, that is Wu Bo's business.

People who are the same age as Wu Bo in the village all avoid Wu Bo.

One is because Wu Bo is very knowledgeable and doesn't look like country folk like them. They feel that they have no common language.

The second is because the Wu family seldom walks around in the village. Everyone thinks that the Wu family is noble and young, and whoever is willing to lick others.

Then there are those old things that left a gap in each other's hearts.

At his father's request, Wang Qiangguo came to meet Wu Bo a few times, and he changed a lot for him.

Wu Bosi is polite, knowledgeable, and generous, which makes Wang Guoqiang admire and like him very much.

Wu Bo was very excited about going up the mountain. His legs and feet are not convenient, and he rarely goes up the mountain. Even if he wants to contribute to the family, he can't do it.

It's rare that someone is willing to take him with him, and he doesn't want to miss this opportunity.

But he is lame and doesn't know how to be a trap, so he can only drag others down.

After thinking about it, I finally gave up.
