Chapter 2
Zhou Yue opened her eyes and looked at the sky outside. It must have just dawned, and there were already rustling sounds outside.

After tidying up her own bed, Zhou Yue walked out of the room. Qian Shi was burning the fire in the kitchen. The pot was steaming hot. Qian Shi cut vegetables neatly with his hands and feet, poured the wild vegetables into the pot, picked up a spoon and stirred them.

"Mom, I'll help you." Zhou Yue called out and walked over to help.

"Yueyue, why are you up? Go back to the room and lie down. Are you hungry? Mom will bring you to the room in a moment." Qian Guilan saw Zhou Yue standing behind her and hurriedly persuaded Zhou Yue to go back to the room.

"I'm fine, mother. I feel better after sleeping. Let me light the fire." Zhou Yue sat down in front of the stove, grabbed the firewood and put it in the fire.

"Okay, tell mother when you're tired, don't force yourself, your body is just right, and you're not tired yet." Qian Guilan saw that she was in good spirits, and she couldn't get tired even if she burned a fire, so she let her go.

Zhou Yue looked at the kitchen while lighting the fire. The kitchen was not big. On the right side was an earthen pot with salt sauce and other seasonings on it. On the left was a small wooden shelf with food and food bags on it. A large piece has been deflated, showing that there is not much food left.

We have to find a way to find some food. We can't survive with this little food, Zhou Yue thought secretly.

When the meal was ready, Qian Guilan filled a bowl of wild vegetable paste and brought it to Zhou's family in the house.

Zhou Jiacheng looked at the rice in the bowl, feeling complicated, "Let's make some for Yueyue alone, the child has to eat some thick tonbu, how much food is left? If you can't, go to the village to borrow some."

"After a while, I will carefully fish out the rice in the pot and serve a separate bowl for Yueyue. There is not much rice at home, so if I save some, I can still eat it for seven days. After two days, I think it won't work, so I will go to the village to borrow some. Qian Guilan was feeling worried as she assessed the food.

Back in the kitchen, Qian Guilan carefully poured out a bowl of porridge in the pot and handed it to Zhou Yue, "Yueyue, it's time to eat."

Looking down at the porridge in her hand, Zhou Yue obviously felt that there were more rice grains than wild vegetables, and looking at the porridge in Qian Guilan's bowl, she probably had all the rice in the pot with her.

Without saying anything, Zhou Yue lowered her head to drink the porridge and drank half of it. "Mom, I'm full. You can drink the rest." She pushed the bowl and half of the porridge came to Qian's eyes.

"Eat more and your body will be better."

"I can't eat anymore, I'll go see dad." After Zhou Yue finished speaking, she stood up and walked towards Zhou's Cheng's house.

"Father, how are you feeling today? Does your leg still hurt?" As soon as Zhou Yue entered the door, she saw Zhou Jiacheng leaning on the bedside drinking porridge.

"Yueyue, dad doesn't hurt anymore, come here and let dad see, does your head still hurt? Are you full? Dad still has porridge here." He said and handed over the bowl.

Zhou Yue came closer and glanced at Zhou Jiacheng's left leg, "Father, I'm full, you can eat quickly, I'm much better now, I'll come and see you."

Zhou Jiacheng's left leg was broken and he was lying on the bed. As a military doctor, Zhou Yue wanted to see his leg.

"Father, what did your leg doctor say, when will it be better?"

"Doctor Gao in the town said that he should stay in bed and rest until the bones grow well before moving, otherwise the bones will easily grow crooked. It will take about three or four months, alas~" Zhou Jiacheng felt depressed when he thought of his legs.

"Dad, can I see your leg?" Zhou Yue wanted to confirm whether the bones were connected, otherwise it would be more troublesome later.

"You can watch it if you want to, Yueyue, that's it anyway."

Zhou Yue picked up Zhou Jiacheng's trouser legs and touched the calf bone with her hand. Sure enough, the bone was connected, but it was a little crooked. If it wasn't straightened, she might walk with a limp in the future.

"Father, let's wrap the calf with wooden boards, so that we don't have to worry about accidentally touching it. What if we accidentally touch it and it grows crooked." Zhou Yue suggested Zhou Jiacheng to fix the calf at this time. Take the opportunity to straighten the bones.

"That's right, this is a way. If you tie him up, you won't be afraid of touching him, and you won't be afraid of pressing him when you sleep at night! Yueyue is so smart!" Zhou Jiacheng seemed to be enlightened, looking at Zhouyue with surprise on his face.

"Father, wait, I'll go find the planks and cloth strips!" Zhou Yue ran out after finishing speaking.

Went to the woodshed, selected two boards of suitable size, and found old trousers and cut them into a strip of cloth.

When Zhou Jiacheng saw Zhou Yue running in again, Qian Guilan also came in. Qian Guilan came to clean up the dishes and saw Zhou Yue holding the board and cloth, so she was not in a hurry to go out.

"Dad, I'll tie it up for you. If it hurts, just bear with it. It'll be fine in a while!"

"Okay, don't worry, Yueyue, Daddy is not afraid of pain!" Zhou Jiacheng doted on Zhou Yue, and he was not afraid of a ten-year-old girl.

Zhou Yue placed two boards on both sides of the calf, first touched the leg bones with her hands, and slowly set the bones with force. At this time, Zhou Jiacheng gritted his teeth, sweat fell from his forehead, and he didn't make a sound.

When Zhou Yue fixed the calf, Zhou Jiacheng's back was already drenched with sweat.

"Okay Dad, it will be easier for Dad this way, and you won't be afraid of crooked bones when you move." Seeing Zhou Jiacheng's sweaty face, Zhou Yue admired this man.

Qian Guilan glanced at Zhou Jiacheng, then at Zhou Yue, and praised: "Our Yueyue is so smart, even the doctor didn't think of such a way!"

"Okay mother, don't praise me anymore, if you praise me again, I will be ashamed!"

"Okay, mother's baby, let's go out first and let your father rest." After Qian Guilan finished speaking, she led Zhou Yue out of the room.

"Mom, where are the brothers?" Zhou Yue walked out of the room and remembered that the original owner had three brothers, whom he hadn't seen since he woke up yesterday.

"Your brothers went to the town to look for work, and your father and you had accidents one after another. Our family really doesn't have any extra money, and we even owe doctor Gao the town's medicine expenses for you and your father." Qian Guilan said From time to time, I was also worried about my sons, wondering if I could find a job in the town.

"Mother, how much do we owe Doctor Gao?"

"You and your father together have a total of three taels of silver. This is due to Doctor Gao's kindness. Other pharmacies don't accept credit at all."

It seems that this family is really poor, and there are foreign debts, so they have to find a way to make money.

Zhou Yue took a look at the mountains next to the village, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, and relying on the water to eat the water, she had to go to the mountains to see if there was any way to make money.

"Mom, I'm going to dig some wild vegetables on the mountain, and I'll be back before lunch." Zhou Yue said to Qian Guilan, it can only be said that she was digging wild vegetables, otherwise she would not be able to go.

Daze Mountain is very large, and the deep mountain is very dangerous. No one in Wangshan Village dares to enter the deep mountain. They can only dig some wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain, and hunters only dare to hunt outside.

"Don't go into the mountain. Just dig at the foot of the mountain. Pay attention to your health and come back when you are tired. Mom can go digging." Qian Guilan warned.

"Understood, mother, I'll be back before lunch!" After speaking, he picked up the bamboo basket, filled the bamboo tube with water, put the firewood knife on his waist, and went out the gate.
