"Her parents are looking for her and are planning to get her married. They won't be able to come out to play with us anymore. They have to stay at home to prepare for marriage."

The little girl's words were filled with innocence and cruelty, as if this was their inevitable fate.

Gu Xue carefully asked about the location of the little girl's home. There were more than 60 households in the village, but this family had a low presence in the village.

Soon we arrived at her house, a very dilapidated house. Compared with the people in the village, the life of this family was obviously not as good as that of others in the village.

When I arrived at the door, I saw a well-dressed child. On the edge of the yard, a familiar figure was washing clothes.

Isn't this the little girl? Look at the other people in the house. Her father is repairing the chicken coop, and her mother is cleaning up the water in the yard.

The whole family is working and living a very hard life, but one can feel their infinite hope for life.

Gu Xue suddenly felt that something was wrong. He originally thought that this family was a patriarchal family, otherwise the little girl would not be prepared to get married so early.

But it doesn’t look like it at all.

Gu Xue knocked on the door politely, and the family looked at the door neatly.

The little girl who was doing laundry ran over quickly.

"Teacher Gu Xue, why are you here?"

The little girl Gu Xue looked at had frostbite on her hands and several frostbites on her feet.

"Why don't you wear shoes when washing clothes? What if you get cold?"

Unexpectedly, the little girl just smiled honestly and said nonchalantly: "All the shoes at home are made of cotton and cannot be worn if they get wet. I wash clothes very quickly and put them on again after washing."

Two adults from the family also came over. They looked at Gu Xue's clothes with envious expressions on their faces, then turned around and returned to normal.

"Axue, come in quickly and sit down and have a cup of hot water."

Axue followed the two adults into the hall. After entering, she could feel the chill to the bone.

"Isn't there any charcoal burning at home?"

They are an area in the north and south, and they don't have kangs, but every household will prepare many small stoves, mainly to ensure the temperature inside the house.

It's really cold when the snow melts, and the air-conditioning feels like it's going to penetrate into your bones as soon as you step outside.

Not to mention the inside of the room, because it is even colder without the sun. Even on such a cold day, every household has at least several charcoal-burning stoves.

There will be a kettle for boiling water on top, ensuring that there is hot water to drink at any time.

But the family didn't see any trace of a stove at all. When they walked through the yard, they saw a lot of firewood piled in the woodshed.

It seems that it is not due to lack of carbon. What is the reason?

Gu Xue asked directly: "Uncle and aunt, why don't you have a stove in your house? What will happen to the children if they freeze in such a cold day?"

When the two adults heard this, they stood there a little embarrassed. In the end, the little girl couldn't stand it anymore.

"Teacher, the stove at home is broken, and our family has no money to buy a new one."

When the girl said this, the two adults behind her felt a little ashamed.

Gu Xue looked at this family. The house was in tatters and the yard had been repaired many times. There was always a feeling of patchwork.

Even so, we didn't find someone to re-roof.

When Gu Xue came in, she also saw basins in many corners to hold the water that leaked after the snow melted.

"This year, the village should have distributed a lot of food, and the extra centimeters should have been converted into money. I don't know about anything else. Even the widow's family received fifty cents." Gu Xue before it started to snow. I went to repair the stove, because the stoves used in the past few years were more or less broken. Although the impact was not big, both my grandfather and grandson were afraid that they would no longer be able to use it.

It's better to just replace it. At that time, I went to buy it with the people in the village and only charged 10 cents for a stove.

Even if you go alone to fight, it's only 2 cents and cents. Any family can fight several if they grit their teeth.

The little carrot head who was playing in the yard also came over. He was wearing thick clothes and looked like a chubby little boy.

But when I came in, I was trembling with excitement.

Gu Xue felt something was wrong. He felt the energy of plants in this child.

Picking up the child, his whole body was chilled.

I touched it directly without thinking, and felt something was wrong as soon as I touched it.

This kid's clothes are all covered with catkins, the kind of catkins that don't keep him warm.

Catkins are seeds, so Gu Xue can feel the weak plant energy, but the thing is not warm at all.

It could only be played with a child. Unexpectedly, the family directly made cotton-padded clothes and wore them on the child.

The child looked okay in the yard at first, but after he took off his cotton-padded clothes wrapped with catkins, he saw that the inside was already turning purple from the cold.

Not caring what to say, he quickly took off his clothes and wrapped them around the child, and then secretly used his supernatural powers to keep him warm.

The two adults looked at Gu Xue like this and felt a little embarrassed.

"Axue can't help it. If you catch a cold, we will be guilty."

Gu Xue paid no attention to what the two adults said. He was still wearing a sweater under his coat, and since he was strong and strong, he was not very afraid of the cold at all.

But the child can't. If it freezes any longer, the child's life will be lost.

"Xiaohua, tell the teacher, what is going on in your family?"

Their family can no longer be considered poor. Even the widow who has the most difficult life in the family cannot be like this.

The house has not been repaired, and leaks have not been repaired. There is no stove in the middle of winter, and there is no cotton stuffed in the clothes. They are all filled with cotton wool that does not keep warm.

The clothes on the two adults were similar to this, with some cotton wool on the outside that was not warm.

Xiaohua is the name of this little girl. When she heard Gu Xue's harsh words, she looked at the two adults with some fear, not knowing whether she should say it out.

The two adults sighed deeply, and finally the uncle stood up.

Tell all the rest.

Life is better this year, at least people are not starving to death.

But I can't help but think that some of the people above are not clear-headed.

It turns out that the uncle's father, Xiaohua's grandfather, borrowed a lot of money a few years ago, but I don't know how he spent it all.

After spending it, spend it, and pay it back when you have money later, but these debts are not told to the children at home at all.

Originally, the family was poor, because there were several poor children and only one of them survived. Fortunately, life got better and better as time went by.

But just a few days ago, debt collectors came to their house. He took the IOU that his father had fingerprinted and asked them to pay back the money.
