Chapter 256

Luo Tiandu went to look at the child, a thin and small one, about six or seven years old by visual estimation, his face was dark, covered with dust, his hands were also dirty, his blackened fingers were bony, and he looked a little It's not uncommon to look malnourished, Luo Tian has seen everyone here is malnourished, what really surprised her was that Zi Shu just said that he went to dig soil on the construction site, how old is he?How could such a small person go to the construction site to do the work that adults do?

Luo Zijin stretched out his stomach, tugged on Luo Tiandu's clothes, opened his big round eyes and tilted his head curiously at the black thin monkey.

Luo Tian looked down at him and said, "Xiqiao, take Zijin into the house, it's windy outside."

Xiqiao responded and carried Luo Zijin into the house.

The little black monkey was probably very hungry. Smelling the smell of food in the yard, he wrinkled his nose unconsciously, glanced at the big pancakes on the panel, and then quickly moved away, as if he was afraid of being discovered .

Luo Tian could see it, bent down and said to the child as gently as possible: "What's your name? How old are you? Are you afraid of being alone?"

The child is very sensitive, Luo Tian even looked at him twice, shrank his thin shoulders, lowered his head, and moved his feet unconsciously.

Luo Tian followed his gaze and looked down. This season, the child was actually barefoot, wearing only a pair of straw sandals.

Mrs. Fang obviously saw it too, she wiped her hands on the apron twice, and said: "There is hot water in the stove, go and get some hot water, let him take a bath, I'll find out if there are any suitable clothes for him." Clothes and footwear."

Luo Tiandu filled a bucket of hot water, put it in the bathroom, and motioned for him to take a bath by himself.The child was a little cautious before, with his left foot on his right foot, and his right foot on his left foot, hesitatingly followed Luo Tiandu into the bathroom for a long time.

"Mother, is there anything to eat on the stove?" Luo Tiandu asked Fang.

"Ah, some porridge, and freshly baked pancakes, nothing else." There are adults in the house, and there are no clothes for children of his age, so Fang had to find a set of old clothes that Luo Baisu didn't wear. Put it on a chair outside the bathroom.

"That's it." She didn't miss the child's performance when he first entered the door, he must be starving.

"Okay, I'll let you watch this kid. I really don't have time. I haven't finished dinner yet, so there's really no delay." Fang waved her hand and handed over these chores to her. It was getting late, and it was running out of time to prepare dinner for so many people and carry it to the construction site.

Luo Tiandu went to the stove to heat up a bowl of porridge, then chopped a small handful of dried pickles into the porridge and sprinkled it into the porridge. After all this was done, the child also took a bath and was still wearing his old clothes.

"This is for you, you wear this." Luo Tiandu handed him the old clothes on the chair, and pointed to another room for him to change.The child lowered his head and blushed, carrying his clothes and going in to change.

After a while, the child came out after changing his clothes. Because the old clothes were too big and too long, the sleeves and trousers were all rolled up. He looked like a farmer about to go to the fields. It looked so funny that Luo Tian couldn't help it "Puchi" let out a laugh.

The child's face turned red suddenly, even the tips of his ears were red, and he lowered his head, looking very shy.

Luo Tian saw that the child was shy, so he held back his smile and said, "Are you hungry, come with me, we'll go eat." Then, he went to hold the child's hand, but the child hid his hand behind his back, very cautious look.

When they arrived at the kitchen, Luo Tian brought out the porridge and hot pancakes, and said, "Eat slowly, beware of burning."

The child looked at Luo Tiandu, then at the steaming porridge on the table, and sniffled. In the end, it was the attraction of the food that prevailed. He slowly took a pancake and bit it slowly. He took a small sip, swallowed it, and saw that Luo Tian didn't respond, so he started to gobble it up.

He ate a whole pancake, but only took a sip of the porridge, and then stopped and refused to eat.

Luo Tian was afraid that he would be timid, he didn't eat enough, so he didn't put away the bowl, but put it on the table, and then he went to clean up other things.

Probably because Luo Tian took care of him and gave him food, the child is obviously getting close to Luo Tian now, seeing that she didn't put away the leftovers, he hesitated for a moment, and said: "That... ...Don't you want it?" The child spoke Mandarin, although he was not very fluent, it must have been taught to him by Uncle Ding at home.

Hearing this, Luo Tiandu turned around and asked, "What's the matter? Didn't you have enough to eat? I'll save it for you. You'll eat when you're hungry."

The child hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and said, "I won't eat, can I take the rest home to grandpa? He has been sleeping since yesterday and hasn't eaten." Probably he also felt that eating other people's food , It is not very good to take it back, the sound is small.

After Luo Tian heard this, his heart softened, the child probably didn't know that his grandfather was dead, he just thought he was still asleep.She knelt down and said to the child, "These are for you. Grandpa has something else to eat. You can eat with confidence."

The child looked a little greedy when he saw the bowl of hot porridge, but he held back and said reluctantly, "I won't eat." He is full today and has the strength to go to work, and then he can earn money Go home to grandpa.

"What's your name? How old are you?" Luo Tiandu asked him.The child had been washed clean, but his facial features were correct and his eyes were fine, although he was a little darker.

"Ding Wu."

"..." Well, these days, big names are only benefits enjoyed by rich people. Ordinary people can get rid of them with a small pillar. Both Luo Ming and Luo Ming were able to have their own big names since they were young, and it was thanks to Luo Baisu's blessing, so the welfare of scholars is really good, even if they are just a scholar, it can be seen from the name alone.

Luo Tiandu settled Ding Wu, so she sent him out to play by herself. In her eyes, a ten-year-old child can't do much, but she can help take care of the child. But Luo Zijin is two years old this year. When it is easy to catch diseases, she is definitely not at ease letting children from outside come to watch her little brother, but there is not even a doctor in this place. Wait until spring next year, and find a way to find it in neighboring counties or somewhere else. A doctor, let him take a look. If he is in good health and has no infectious diseases, then let him help take care of the child.

Ding Wu was very winking, and Luo Tian asked him to play, of course he didn't really run to play, but went to help Fang's fire under the kitchen, obviously he was used to this kind of thing, worse than Luo Tian skilled.Luo Tiandu is good at stir-frying and cooking, but he is not good at lighting the fire. When she cooks, she usually needs someone to help with the fire.

Fang felt that there were too few people to be busy, and Ding Wu helped to light the fire, and she did not hypocritically refuse. At this time, except for the two-year-old Luo Zijin, no one was idle, and she had to work if she wanted to eat.

In the past few days, the two big stoves of the Luo family have not stopped. In addition to the rapid consumption of rice and noodles, there is also a lot of firewood. When Fang saw that there was not enough firewood outside, he said: "Xiaodu, our family's The firewood is running out, when your father comes back tonight, remember to remind me to tell your father, let him ask someone to bring some firewood tomorrow."

Luo Tian agreed.

In the evening, Zishu brought a few people over and directed them to carry the porridge and pancakes to the construction site.He saw that Ding Wu had cleaned up, so he said to Fang: "Ma'am, Uncle Ding has cleaned up, this child is the only one in the Ding family, everyone thinks that this child should be given away. "He was busy collecting funerals for Uncle Ding this afternoon. There was no one else in the Ding family except the grandparents and grandchildren. The family was impoverished. Not to mention a coffin, he didn't even have a mat. He had to take someone to find two people." The old box was knocked out, and two boards were dismantled, at least the people were buried, and besides, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and everyone is very busy, so there is no time to spare, and there is no need to be so particular. I plan to find a grave on the top of the mountain and dig a grave. The pit buried the person, and he came here to find Ding Wu to see off Uncle Ding.

Mrs. Fang went to the house to rummage through boxes and cabinets, found a foot of white linen cloth, asked Ding Wu to wear it on his head, and told him to go with Zishu.

Ding Wu was still in a daze, didn't understand much, pulled by the quilt, and walked away from the place where he had just been given food, step by step.

"Oh, what a crime, there is no one in the family, and there is only this half-grown child left, what will we do in the future?" Fang could not help feeling a few words after seeing it.

Luo Tiandu said: "When the new year is over, go find a doctor outside and show the child. If he is healthy and not sick, let him stay at home and help take care of Luo Zijin."

Fang nodded her head. There were not enough people in the family, so she had to find someone to look after Luo Zijin, and the manpower became even shorter. Although she felt that it would be troublesome to find an additional doctor to see Ding Wu, But Luo Tian told her that if it was related to Luo Zijin's health, she would agree, as long as it was for her son's benefit, not to mention hiring a doctor, even if it took her life, she would agree.

When Luo Baisu came back in the evening, Mrs. Fang told him about it.Luo Baisu worked outside for a whole day, and was so tired that his bones were about to fall apart. If he had time to deal with this matter, there was nothing wrong with listening to Fang's arrangement, so he said: "Okay, I will listen to you. If there is any If you can't make a decision about something, discuss it with Xiaodu." After speaking, he fell asleep.

Zishou and Ding Wu didn't come back until almost midnight, the child's eyes were red and swollen, it was obvious that he had cried all the way back, and his expression was numb.Zishu had to follow Luo Baisu outside to get busy tomorrow, so Luo Tiandu asked Gu Bo to lead Ding Wu to bed, she was exhausted to death, even if she sympathized with this child, she didn't have much energy to talk softly Comfort, it is not easy for anyone to live these days, let's watch him more in the future.

The next day, Luo Tian got up early to punch as usual, but found that someone in the family was earlier than her.

Her first reaction was that she had been robbed, but after a closer look, she was wrong. The man was short, and seemed to be carrying a bundle on his back, and was walking towards the woodshed.Holding her breath, she approached secretly, only to realize that it was Ding Wu who was carrying a bundle of firewood and was about to put it down. When she looked into the woodshed, she found that there were already two bundles of firewood neatly stacked inside, and there was no sign of it. Know when the child wakes up.
