Chapter 161 Qingqing, don't worry, auntie will take a look
It turns out that Sanwang is not Luo Chunxiang's biological son, but her husband's nephew.
When I heard that the man’s eldest brother had passed away, his sister-in-law was so sad that she passed away too, leaving behind three children.
The two brothers had originally fled to the village to depend on each other. Now there was no one to take care of the three children, so he had to bring them to the army. Together with Luo Chunxiang's own four children, there were a total of seven children in the family.
Luo Chunxiang's husband's allowance was not high, and she herself was in poor health due to having given birth to four children. She had to see a doctor every few days, and the family lived a tight life.
Several children didn't even have decent clothes; everything was patched up.
In this situation, the army naturally provided a lot of care, but after all, there were too many children.
It is said that the young boys are eating their fathers out of house and home. Every day when I open my eyes, there are so many mouths waiting for food. Even if the army takes care of us, it is just a drop in the bucket.
The only thing to be thankful for is that these children are really sensible.
"What's the point of being sensible? Those kids are so young, and I don't know when they will be able to make it."
To put it bluntly, given Luo Chunxiang's physical condition, it's not certain whether she can survive until the day when her child grows up.
"If I had an easier job, I guess life would be easier, right?"
Now she has to take care of the children and work in the fields despite her illness. They feel so tired for her.
"It's easy to say, but where can we get jobs? We have been with the army for several years, but we haven't found a job yet."
The country's industry is so backward that there are simply not so many jobs.
Wanting to work is a pipe dream.
When talking about work, the military wives became even more depressed.
Although their lives are not as difficult as Luo Chunxiang's, who doesn't want to earn money on their own?
Not everyone is like Lin Wanshu, who has the ability to get a job on his own.
I don’t know if it was affected by the emotions of the military wives, but when she returned, Lin Wanshu was also particularly silent.
I listened to them quietly along the way, and I had no idea what they were thinking.
After returning home, Xiao Miaomiao also came back.
Following behind him is a trio of fixed bodyguards.
When Xiao Miaomiao saw Lin Wanshu, she didn't care whether he was her brother or not, and ran towards her directly.
"mom!"
As soon as the little guy met her, he reached out and hugged her thighs, rubbing his little face on her legs like a coquettish kitten.
Being rubbed by her like this, Lin Wanshu's heart almost melted.
What's there to be unhappy about?
"Aunt, my mother asked me to send you some crabs."
Shen Ci said this and handed over the bucket in his hand.
Lin Wanshu lowered her head and saw that there were indeed several plump crabs inside.
It was normal for them to give each other gifts now, so Lin Wanshu did not refuse and directly took the bucket.
"Thank you so much, Shen Ci. Don't go back so soon. Wait for Auntie to cook for you."
When he heard that Lin Wanshu wanted to keep them for dinner, Xiao Jianshe's eyes suddenly lit up.
Without hesitation, he nodded frantically, fearing that if he nodded too slowly, Lin Wanshu would regret it.
Shen Yue was also a foodie, so who could resist Lin Wanshu's cooking? As soon as Xiao Jianshe nodded, he nodded like crazy.
Shen Ci is older, but not as shameless as the two younger ones.
But seeing that Shen Yue and Feng Jianshe had both stayed, he hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Lin Wanshu let the children play at home and took the soybeans she had soaked in the morning to Luo Chunxiang's house to grind tofu.
Luo Chunxiang's house is almost in the corner of the family compound.
Unlike their house, hers had no fence and there were only a few rooms in sight.
There were all kinds of miscellaneous items piled up outside the house, making it look messy.
Next to the kitchen, there is a stone mill.
This was the stone mill that the family compound specially approved in order to take care of them.
If anyone comes here to grind tofu, leaving some for them will be considered a reward.
Lin Wanshu has never come here to grind tofu.
The last time she made the warm-house meal, it was other military wives who helped her grind it.
This was her first time to come to Luo Chunxiang's house.
When she reached the door, Lin Wanshu called out, "Is Sister Chunxiang here? I want to borrow your millstone."
As soon as she finished shouting, a half-grown girl ran out of the kitchen. She was wearing a whitish cotton dress with a few patches on it, but it looked clean.
"Aunt, my mother is not at home. She went to get some medicine. I'll grind it here for you to use. I'll go get you some water."
How could Lin Wanshu let a child fetch water for her?
"You don't need to help. I can do it myself." As she said that, Lin Wanshu took out a handful of fruit candies and handed them to her, "Give them to your brother and your younger brothers and sisters."
How could Qingqing want her candy? She quickly waved her hand and refused, "No, Auntie, we don't want candy."
Seeing that she was indeed very sensible, Lin Wanshu couldn't help but feel a little more pity for her in her heart.
"Take it. Auntie likes you very much. If you feel bad, can you help auntie add soybeans later?"
No matter how old Qingqing is, she is only a seven or eight-year-old child, and she is still greedy.
After trying to refuse several times, she finally agreed to exchange her labor for candy.
After Lin Wanshu cleaned the stone mill, she started grinding tofu.
The millstone was very heavy, and she had to work hard to push it at first.
She is originally from the country, so these things are naturally not difficult for her.
Qingqing is a good helper. She not only helps her put the beans, but also scrapes the beans that are scattered outside the hole into the hole.
Lin Wanshu didn't grind much tofu, so she finished it quickly.
She only took the water that flowed into the basin, and gave the rest on the millstone to Qingqing.
This is also the rule for them to make tofu here.
The tofu was ground, and Lin Wanshu had no intention of staying any longer, so she picked up the bowl and prepared to leave.
But as soon as he turned around, he saw a thin figure.
Lin Wanshu had seen Luo Chunxiang before, so she naturally knew who she was.
Just as I was about to say hello, I saw him holding his forehead with his hand, and he looked a little shaky.
"careful!"
Lin Wanshu quickly put down the basin in her hand and ran forward.
"mom!"
Qingqing was even faster and almost ran towards Luo Chunxiang.
But it's still a step too late.
Luo Chunxiang fell directly to the ground, and the medicine she had just taken back in her hand spilled all over the floor.
"Mom, how are you? Don't scare me!"
Qingqing's voice was tearful, and she held Luo Chunxiang's shoulders with both hands, trying to pick her up.
But she is just a child after all, how could she have so much strength?
"Qingqing, don't worry, let me take a look."
Lin Wanshu checked and found that he had just fainted, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
However, she did not move the patient rashly, but took her pulse.
