Boss, He’s Becoming a Father

    "Are you really hungry?" Shao Yu asked.

    The fourth child was about to explode at this time, and his expression became more and more irritable, and said, "Dad, I'm really hungry now."

    Shao Yu said: "How do you know that you are hungry, you may also be suffering from typhoid fever."

    Fourth:…

    "Forget it."

    As soon as the fourth child closes his eyes, he plans to wait for death.

    Seeing the child like this, Shao Yu said, "Please describe to me how you feel. If you are really hungry, I will go and prepare food for you."

    The fourth child does not speak.

    Shao Yu added: "I don't know if you smelled it at noon. We ate rabbit meat at noon."

    Although the fourth child closed his eyes, his throat moved when he heard this, as if he was swallowing saliva.

    "After careful calculation, the last time our family ate meat was three years ago." Shao Yu continued with emotion.

    The fourth opened his eyes and said, "I feel that this place is empty."

    "Where is this place?" Shao Yu asked.

    The fourth raised his hand with difficulty and pointed to his stomach.

    "You feel empty, does it call?" Shao Yu asked again.

    The fourth child's mood became irritable again, but he still suppressed his temper and said, "It's called."

    Shao Yu stopped teasing him, but said, "I see, I'll get you something to eat."

    When the fourth heard the words, his expression suddenly relaxed.

    After a while, Shao Yu turned back, at the same time, he was holding a bowl of green leaf soup in his hand.

    The fourth was helped to sit up with difficulty, and Shao Yu fed him in small bites.

    Only after the bowl of leaf soup bottomed out, the fourth child's expression became puzzled and asked, "Where's the rabbit meat?"

    Shao Yu said, "We've finished eating it."

    The expression on the fourth father's face was like a broken clay statue, shattered inch by inch.

    Shao Yu said: "I have something to tell you."

    Although the fourth child was too lazy to respond, Shao Yu knew that the unfortunate child could hear it, so he continued, "You can still lie in this bed for two days."

    The fourth opened his eyes and looked at Shao Yu with doubts.

    "In three days, although you can't completely heal, you can still get a good idea. You don't do anything at home, because of your father, I can't drive you out of the house, but other My brothers and sisters are looking at me, and I can't condone you too much, after all, they have been helping the family."

    "I can't serve you with delicious food and drink all the time. In order to take care of their feelings, you should continue to sleep on the ground at that time, and remember to cover the straw."

    When the fourth heard this, his eyes became bigger and bigger, and he said, "You are my father."

    "It's useless to say that, even if you are my father, this family can't support idlers." Shao Yu said.

    The fourth child's eyes were confused and he didn't know what to do for a while.

    Although this child has no bad intentions, he is really lazy to a certain level, he doesn't want to move or talk, and even eat, he may have to be delivered to him.

    Now Shao Yu is betting that this child still has the idea of ​​​​living.

    "What if I get a cold again?" The fourth asked.

    "I will still try my best to treat you." Shao Yu said.

    The fourth one breathed a sigh of relief. Although he felt very sick when he was sick, Shao Yu would still save him, so he could continue to get food and barely survive.

    "It's just a few more times, and your body will be overwhelmed, and you don't know how long you can live." Shao Yu said.

    "You promised my parents." The fourth said.

    Although he is lazy, he is very clear in his heart that he knows that the involvement of his parents with Shao Yu is deeper than the involvement between the parents of other children and Shao Yu.

    Because he knew this, he was very sure that Shao Yu would never give up on him.

    But this time Shao Yu's face was also very helpless, and said: "I promised your parents, and also promised their parents, I have to feed seven children by myself, and I also have times when I am tired. , I will also need someone to help share.”

    The fourth one paused when he heard the words, he was always sure that Shao Yu would support himself, but he forgot how heavy Shao Yu's burden was.

    He recalled running around with his adoptive father over the years and seeing him trying to support him countless times, but now it was the first time he saw him show weakness.

    Although the fourth has already drank a bowl of leaf soup, the hunger in his stomach is still gnawing at his heart.

    "Is it always so difficult to live?" The fourth asked suddenly.

    Shao Yu looked at the child at such a young age, but asked with a bit of philosophy, and replied: "It is difficult for some people to live, but easy for others. , I hope that each of your children can live easily."

    The fourth child didn't think it would be easy to live, and said, "Dad, I want to sleep for a while."

    The fourth thought in his heart, maybe if he died, he would be able to relax.

    Shao Yu got up and planned to leave.

    The fourth one closed his eyes, but suddenly said: "My sister is very good, you will take good care of her, right?"

    When he decided to wait for death, the only thing he couldn't let go of was his sister Xiaoqi.

    Shao Yu said: "Xiao Qi is also my child."

    When the fourth heard the sound of Shao Yu leaving, he opened his eyes and looked above his head.

    In the past, he always felt that he didn't have enough time to sleep, but now that he was given a chance, he felt that he couldn't sleep.

    He couldn't stop thinking about what death would be like.

    "Are you going to die?"

    After hearing the familiar female voice, the fourth child turned his head slightly and saw Xiao Qi standing beside the bed, staring at him blankly.

    "Huh?" The fourth child was puzzled.

    Xiao Qi took his hand and said, "I heard it all."

    She hid aside and heard the conversation between her adoptive father and her brother.

    "Now every child in the family has to work. If you are so lazy, if you don't want to do anything, you will have nothing to eat, and sooner or later you will starve to death, right?" Xiao Qi asked.

    The fourth child didn't know why, maybe it was because of blood kinship. He felt a little uncomfortable when he heard his sister ask him this.

    But he still said: "Everyone will die anyway, so early death will not be a drag on the people around you."

    "I don't want you to die." Xiao Qi said.

    The fourth turned his head and looked at her blankly.

    Xiao Qi burst into tears and said, "You are my brother, my only relative."

    The fourth is willing to say a few more words to his own sister, saying: "You still have a father and others."

    "But you are my brother." Xiao Qi shouted almost unreasonably: "I won't allow you to die."

    The fourth was stunned for a while.

    Xiao Qi cried more and more fiercely, and said, "It's a big deal, I will eat less in the future, I will share half of my ration with you, I don't want you to die."

    "Why?" Although the fourth child knew that Xiao Qi was his own sister, he didn't expect the little girl to have such deep feelings for him.

    It was so deep that if she died, she would follow.

    Xiao Qi said: "You are my brother, you are different from others, you will help me teach those who bully me, and you will rub my stomach..."

    Although Xiao Qi is young, she remembers it very clearly.

    The fourth child thinks back carefully, doing these things by himself seems to be when his parents were alive.

    Although he was lazy at that time, but he was not like now, moving a little more, saying one more word, it was a great torture for him.

    Xiao Qi cried and said, "You are dead, what can I do?"

    The little girl's tears are flying, and the fourth child's heart is also uncomfortable.

    "I..." The fourth child suddenly wanted to watch his sister grow up, but he gave up the idea after a while, he just felt that it was too hard to live.

    "You promise me." Xiao Qi shouted.

    "I will die sooner or later, you will have other good brothers." The fourth said.

    "The others are not good brothers, the second brother ignores me, the sixth brother said that I am his child bride, I hate him so much, he is so ugly, why marry me." Xiao Qi said.

    The fourth child, who thought he had only one breath left, could not help but ask, "What child bride?"

    "He's talking nonsense!" The fourth was so angry that he almost sat up from the bed, but he was so weak that he almost passed out.

    Xiao Qi hurriedly supported him and said, "I only have you as a good brother, don't worry, I don't get tired of what Dad told me to do, I can really afford you."

    At this time, the fourth child has already appeared that after his death, his younger sister was forced to marry the sixth younger brother, and said: "I will not die, I will find you a good family."

    Shao Yu outside the house was slightly relieved when she heard the fourth son say these words in person.

    The next morning, when several children heard Shao Yu getting up, they all got up from the bed immediately, six pairs of eyes staring at Shao Yu.

    Shao Yu also knew what they wanted, but she was not in a hurry at all, but asked, "Do you remember the name I taught you to write yesterday?"

    The six children had different expressions when they heard this.

    As smart as the third child, she naturally remembers it clearly and can write it out very smoothly at this time.

    Yesterday, she was unlucky like the boss, and she wrote it so many times without compromise. At this time, she can write her name without much thought.

    Have the foundation so clear, you can easily write your own name at this time.

    Being obedient and obedient like Xiao Wu, I practiced it for so long yesterday, and I can write it now.

    Therefore, only Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi remained, and the two of them wrote the names of the missing arms and legs together.

    Shao Yu said: "You two stay at home, copy it a hundred times, and the others go up the mountain with me."

    The two children still want to struggle, but Shao Yu is very serious about this matter.

    Maybe their luck was too good. In today's trap, two rabbits were caught. The children looked at the rabbits and drooled around them.

    "Steamed, braised, stir-fried..." The second son, Xu Ming, had already begun to imagine what to do.

    You don't even need Shao Yu to remind him, he and the eldest two have already started to set up hunting traps very actively.

    Xu Ming acted faster today, setting two more traps than yesterday.

    There are times when the boss feels tired and wants to rest, but Xu Ming is like iron, he doesn't know he is tired at all, even if he is swaying, he is still digging vines forcibly strip.

    Seeing that the sun was starting to get hot, Shao Yu clapped her palms and motioned all the children to stop.

    A group of children are all enthusiastic today, Xu Ming took the lead and said: "Dad, it's still early, I'll make a few more traps."

    Shao Yu looked at the third child.

    The third child's expression is also a little complicated at this time. After eating the meat, it seems that all the brothers and sisters have become active.

    Shao Yu said: "No, the body is the most important thing. If you stay on the mountain, you will suffer from heat stroke. If you are sick, you will not be able to go up the mountain for many days, just like the fourth child."

    The person who originally wanted to stay, heard that he was lying on the bed like the fourth child, and everyone immediately dismissed the idea.

    When she got home, Xu Ming rushed into the kitchen and said to Shao Yu, "Dad, I've been thinking about it all the way, let's keep steaming this rabbit, after all, we don't have any seasoning anymore. "

    The third child was afraid that Shao Yu would be shaken again, and immediately came over and said, "Dad, you promised me that you can't eat it any more."

    Shao Yu nodded, turned to reject the second son's proposal, and said: "These two rabbits, I took them to the market this afternoon to sell, I can buy some serious food for the money, you guys You can't eat leaves and wild fruits every day."

     Xu Ming suddenly lost his expression when he heard the words.

    The third sighed in relief, then leaned over to Shao Yu and said, "Father, can you take me to the market too."

    Shao Yu said: "I will teach you to write in the afternoon. If you can remember before I go out, I will take you with me."

    She is in such a hurry, but she wants to buy more time for study.

    "You are quite good, but you have to ask other people if they will answer." Shao Yu said.

    Xu Ming was the first to stare at the third child.

    The third one shrank his neck in fright, and no longer dared to ask Shao Yu to teach in advance.

    Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi missed the opportunity to go up the mountain in the morning. At this time, they can only listen to the brothers and sisters describe what happened in the morning. They heard that two rabbits were caught in the trap this time. It was a look of surprise.

    "Unfortunately, I didn't see it, I have been writing at home." Xiao Qi's words were full of loss.

    Liu hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, we'll miss this time, and we won't miss it tomorrow."

    When the boss thought that he almost missed the opportunity to go up the mountain in the morning, he also had some lingering fears at this time, and said: "Although I don't know why Dad must let us learn to write, but it is said that if we can go up the mountain the next day, we will It all depends on how many words you know."

    Other children immediately became embarrassed when they heard this.

    After all, not everyone is like the third child with a smart head.

    The home is boring and there are no other entertainment activities. For the children, the most interesting thing is to go up the mountain, so when Shao Yu started teaching in the afternoon, he found that every child was surprisingly serious .

    "Today I learned six characters: at the beginning of man, nature is good." Shao Yu didn't plan to eat a fat man in one bite, so he started teaching from "Three Character Classic".

    After he wrote down the six words, he began to explain the meaning of the sentence.

    After explaining, Shao Yu said: "Before I go out, who can write it out and explain the meaning of these six words clearly, go to the market with me in the afternoon."

    Xu Ming immediately asked: "Will you buy me something delicious at the market?"

    Shao Yu shook her head.

    Xu Ming said immediately: "Then I will learn slowly."

    When Shao Yu took the assessment before going out, he thought that only the third child could meet the requirements, but he did not expect that the fifth child also completed it very well.

    Even the three children except Xu Ming were able to write out the words smoothly, but these three were stuck in the interpretation.

    The three children were just one move away from chess. At this time, their faces were full of pity. Xiao Qi pulled Xiao Wu to show her more beautiful purses and handkerchiefs in the market. Xiao Wu was very busy. Nodding, trying to remember his sister's request.

    Xiao Qi reluctantly glanced at the white rabbit in Shao Yu's back basket, and whispered: "Dad, such a beautiful white rabbit, can you keep it?"

    Shao Yu shook her head cruelly.

    Xiao Qi felt that this rabbit was really beautiful, so she couldn't help touching the fur on its body again, and said with emotion: "Such a beautiful fur, if you make me a hat, it would be so pretty."

    Even if she wanted to keep the rabbit, she knew the situation at home, so she could only reluctantly watch the three of them leave home.

    When she left the house, Shao Yu asked Xiao Wu: "Does Xiao Wu also like the market?"

    Shao Yu was not surprised that the third child wanted to go to the market, but the weak fifth, who would work so hard for this opportunity, made Shao Yu a little surprised.

    Xiao Wu whispered, "I want to go see the fun."

    Xiao Wu still has those problems, he dare not speak loudly, and his body has been shrinking, as if he is afraid of attracting the attention of others.

    Shao Yu reached out and patted her on the back lightly, and said, "Everyone in the market has their backs straight, it's a bit strange for you to look at it like this."

    For timid people, being different from others is a very uncomfortable thing. At this time, listening to Shao Yu's words, Xiao Wu reluctantly straightened his back.

    Shao Yu added: "There is a lot of noise in the market, everyone is talking loudly, and others will not hear your voice."

    "Really?" After Xiao Wu finished speaking, she immediately realized that her voice was too low, and she raised the volume and asked again.

    Shao Yu nodded, and the third child on the side also nodded, and she even complained: "Five sisters, every time I talk to you, I always think that I am deaf, so I listen every time Not sure."

    "No, no..." Xiao Wu hurriedly waved his hand, and quickly said to the third one: "Sister, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I shouldn't speak so quietly."

    The third child did not understand and said: "The voice is small, so what is there to apologize for?"

    Xiao Wu looked cramped at this time and didn't know what to say. She even thought that she might have made a mistake by following the market. The thought of facing so many people made her a little nervous.

    "Dad, I don't want to go, I want to go back." Xiao Wu said.

    I just walked to the entrance of the village at this time, and it is too late to go back.

    Shao Yu knew that she had always been cowardly, and guessed that she might have a social panic attack.

    The little girl wanted to go to the market to see the liveliness, but she was afraid that she would become a lively mood. Shao Yu understood it very well, but he didn't want her daughter to shut herself up.

    "You want to go back, but father and your third sister have to buy a lot of things this time, and the two of us may not be able to carry it." Shao Yu said.

    Little five looked at the youngest.

    The third thought that if the rabbits were sold for food, the two of them would really not be able to lift them, so they nodded vigorously.

    Xiao Wu can only say: "Then I... Then I'll stay with you."

    Although Xiao Wu has tried her best to straighten her body, the habit she has developed over the years cannot be corrected overnight. Gradually, she shrinks again.

    Shao Yu patted it, the little girl can straighten her back for a while.

    But it won't take long for it to come back solid.

    The third child also began to help her sister correct her hunchback, and clapped her hands from time to time.

      She needs to remind Shao Yu and she will correct herself.

    The market is not far from the village where the family is located, but only half an hour away.

    Although the market in the afternoon was not particularly lively, there were a lot of people. Shao Yu and her two daughters walked through the market carrying rabbits and finally found a shady place.

    "Dad, how can we sell it?" The third child is always very concerned about changing money.

    Shao Yu asked, "What are your plans?"

    The third one thought about it and said, "If it's less than 300 yuan, don't sell it?"

    Shao Yu did not object when she heard the words, but said: "I'm afraid such a buyer is not easy to find."

    If the rabbit wants to sell quickly, the best way is to sell it to a restaurant or a big family, but most of them will lower the price, so it is difficult to sell the price of 300 yuan.

    The third said: "Be patient in business, I can wait."

    Shao Yu shook his head and said, "We have to go up the mountain tomorrow, it is impossible to spend here every day for two rabbits."

    The third one frowned upon hearing this.

    Shao Yu asked again: "Have you thought about selling the rabbit to anyone?"

    The third one shook his head honestly.

    Shao Yu looked at the two rabbits in front of him, one gray and one white, raised the gray rabbit with a stronger body, and asked, "What is the advantage of this rabbit?"

    "Bigger?" The third child asked tentatively.

    Shao Yu shook his head and said, "You touch its legs, how powerful."

    As soon as the third child touched it, she was kicked by the rabbit. She really felt the power of this gray rabbit.

    Shao Yu said: "Such a sturdy rabbit has a firm flesh. If you meet someone who knows how to do it, you will know that it is more suitable for eating."

    "What about this one, don't you want to eat it?" The third child pointed at the white rabbit and asked.

    Shao Yu reached out and touched the white rabbit, and after touching its fur more smoothly, he asked: "It can be eaten, but don't you think it's beautiful when you look at it's snow-white appearance? ?"

    Shao Yu said: "You can sell it as a lump of meat, or you can sell it as a beautiful thing. Maybe someone is willing to spend more money to buy it."

    At this time, the third child still thinks that no one will stop eating rabbit meat because of cuteness.

    "White Rabbit!"

    The third child suddenly heard the little girl's cry.

    Then she saw a carriage stop, the window of the carriage was open, revealing a small white face.

    The little face looks like she is only seven or eight years old. She has a bun on her head, and a bell hangs on each of the buns. With her movements, the two bells keep shaking, making a "ding ding". Ding" sound.

    The little face looked at the white rabbit in Shao Yu's hand at this time, her eyes were shining.
