Chapter 3 Squeeze the Bed

Even if she is not for herself, she should think about her children.

"My poor children, it's mother who is sorry for you. Mother didn't take good care of you." Qin Shuniang pulled the children into her arms and wept softly.

"..." Tan Wenning now understands that if Qin Shuniang is to blame Zhang for all her faults, she may have to take her time. After all, in this dynasty, although filial piety is not as serious as other dynasties, the current emperor still cares more about it. Middle filial piety.

"Shu Niang, cough cough, what's wrong with you?" Tan Wenning heard a weak male voice from beside him.

"It's Daddy, Daddy is awake." Tan Zichen said in surprise.

After finishing speaking, he was about to bouncing towards the door, but was held back by Tan Wenning.

"Zichen, it's raining outside, what should you do if you get wet when you go out like this?" Tan Wenning looked at Tan Zichen's small body, maybe her resistance is not very good.

"You all stay here too, mother, go and have a look." Qin Shuniang picked up an old oil-paper umbrella from the side and walked out.

Tan Wenning looked at the oil-paper umbrella with a hole in it, and felt a little uncomfortable. When and why had she ever been anxious about an umbrella.

"All of you get on the bed, it's cold down there." Tan Wenning patted the haystack that could be called a bed.

"Sister, you're sick, we're afraid of giving you the cold." Tan Wenyue shook her head and said.

She is now the biggest one besides Sister Sister. When Sister Sister falls down, she has to take on the responsibility of taking care of her younger siblings and Sister Sister.

"Come on, Yue'er, it will be warmer if you squeeze." Tan Wenning patted the place next to her.

And Tan Zichen had already climbed into bed, and got into Tan Wenning's arms. He liked sister's arms, it was warm, just like his mother's arms.

Tan Wenyue looked at Tan Zichen enviously. After hesitating for a while, she climbed up anyway. If she didn't touch Elder Sister, Elder Sister would not feel uncomfortable.

As soon as Tan Wenyue went up, she was dragged into the bed by Tan Wenning.

"Sister, I'm cold, don't touch me, you'll get sick." Tan Wenyue wanted to stay away from Tan Wenning, but she held her little hand tightly.

"Don't be afraid, sister is warm. With your temperature, sister won't catch a cold." Tan Wenning gently pinched Tan Wenyue's small face.

But Tan Wenyue's face doesn't have a lot of flesh, and it doesn't feel very good when pinched. It will be fine when she pinches the white and fat ones they raised.

Tan Wenning held Tan Zixuan in her arms, Tan Wenyue was on her right, Tan Wenwan was on her left, and Tan Zichen was sitting in the middle. The siblings were squatting on the haystack around a worn-out quilt.

The quilt has been used for a long time, and it is not very warm to cover, but it is much better than not covering anything.

"Sister, when the rain stops, I'm going to wash clothes by the river. Don't tell grandma to see you." Tan Wenyue was afraid that her grandma would find ways to let her do it again when she saw that Tan Wenning had recovered. Live.

Tan Wenning's eyes dimmed, she had to find a way to let the old godmother take the initiative to separate the family, otherwise, if this continues, their family will starve to death sooner or later.

"Yue'er, don't worry about me. Don't wash your clothes yet. I'll go out with you when Sister gets better." Tan Wenning doesn't worry about a child as young as Tan Wenyue going to the river to wash clothes, in case she falls What to do!
"Sister, no, you are not in good health yet, so you can't blow the air." Tan Wenyue shook her head. In the past, Sister did the laundry with her. Sister does a lot of things every day, so she should be allowed to rest now clicked.

"No, Yue'er, you don't listen to sister?" Tan Wenning looked at Tan Wenyue with a stern face.

Seeing that her sister was really angry, Tan Wenyue shrank her neck and said in a low voice, "Sister, I just listen to you, don't be angry, you are still sick now."

"Sister, don't be angry anymore, but you must not secretly go to the river to wash your clothes!" Tan Wenning was afraid that Tan Wenyue would be disobedient, so she secretly ran to the river.

"No, Sister, I listen to you the most." Although Tan Wenyue wanted to go by herself, she was more afraid that Sister would worry.

"Sister, can Wan'er go to hunt pigweed?" Tan Wenwan gently tugged on Tan Wenning's sleeve.

"Wan'er, wait for my sister to come with you. You are too young, and it's raining, so the mountain road is not easy to walk." Tan Wenning really didn't expect that a five-year-old child would go up the mountain to hunt pigs Grass.

Even Tan Zichen, the youngest, has to clean the house at home every day. Of course, it is not theirs. They only live in two shacks with three bedrooms, and it still leaks when it rains.

Because her body was injured, these children all went to share a bed with Qin Shuniang and his wife for the past few days.

"Sister, I'm sleepy." Tan Zichen rubbed his eyes and said.

"It's okay, sleep when Zichen is sleepy, sister will watch over you." Tan Wenning knew that children of this age are most likely to get sleepy.

"Sister, you should sleep for a while too." Tan Wenyue was like a little adult.

"Yue'er, I'm not sleepy, I've had enough sleep." Besides, she's still very hungry now, that bit of cornbread can't be used to fill her stomach at all, and the taste is simply amazing, she She had never eaten such an unpalatable thing, but she had to eat it in order to survive.

"En." Tan Wenyue responded softly, and the sisters became quiet for a while.

Tan Wenning turned her head again, only to see that several people were asleep next to her, she gently pulled the corners of her chapped lips, laid the children on their backs, covered them with quilts, and then swayed Get out of bed shaking.

Her head was still a little dizzy, probably because she had bled too much before, and this body didn't have much nutrition, so she should be slightly anemic.

Tan Wenning quietly walked to the stool. She hesitated for a moment, but still fed the water from the broken bowl into her mouth. If she didn't drink any water, she would die of thirst.

Tan Wenning walked to the door, looked at the scene outside the shack, her eyes were a little confused, because it was raining heavily, and the outside was basically foggy, she could see that there was also a shack next to it, which was similar to the one she lived in now Same.

There is only a house with an earthen wall not far away, and there are no other houses. Although it is only an earthen walled house, it is much taller and nobler than their shack.

It was only then that Tan Wenning remembered that although the Zhang family had not separated, in fact, their family had already been separated by the old godmother. The reason why the family was not separated was because of the tax-free land quota of the original owner's father and the good Squeeze their three-bedroom labor.

It's very good, without their family in good relationship, let them do all the hard work, Tan Wenning has never seen such a brazen person, Zhang's really shameless to the bone.
