Bing Kun didn't want to give it to him at first, but when he was hesitating, seeing his father and elder brother looking at him, as if waiting for his decision, made him a little annoyed.

Why do you two just look at me like this without talking? What does this mean?
Bingkun was a bit childish. He felt that his father and brother looked down upon him, so he angrily took out the last bun from the paper bag, closed his eyes and stuffed it into Wang Yue's hand, not daring to look at the last bun. .

Probably because he felt that what he did just now was really rude. Bingkun opened his eyes to see Wang Yue's situation, but found that Wang Yue was looking at him with questioning eyes.

Bingkun felt underestimated, so he said dissatisfiedly, "This is the last one. My mother and sister have nothing to eat."

Looking at Zhou Bingkun's reluctance, Wang Yue was a little hesitant at first, after all, he had already given him two of the three buns, and he was too embarrassed to take the last one.

Rather, Wang Yue has regained some of his strength after passing two big buns at the bottom, and he is no longer as limp as when he first came here.

The older boy saw Wang Yue's hesitation, and he admired Wang Yue very much. After all, not everyone would still be like Wang Yue at this time and still consider others.

So, the big boy smiled and said to Wang Yue, "Eat it, we will eat again when we have a chance, and only when you are full can you have the strength to deal with your parents' funeral affairs."

The middle-aged man was very satisfied with his two sons, he was proud of them, and now he nodded after hearing what the elder son said, and urged Wang Yue, "Baby, don't worry about eating. What Bingyi said is right, you will only be strong when you are full, and your parents are still waiting on the ground."

Hearing what the uncle said, Wang Yue stopped being polite. He didn't gobble up the bun this time. He put the bun near his mouth and took a bite, then asked vaguely, "Uncle, I haven't asked what your name is yet." ?”

Looking at Wang Yue's firm eyes, the uncle knew that the child remembered their help in his heart, which made him very satisfied. It didn't matter to spend a little on doing good deeds, he was afraid of meeting that kind of greedy white-eyed wolf.

Seeing Wang Yue's expression of gratitude, the uncle said happily, "My surname is Zhou, you can call me Uncle Zhou, you can eat quickly, after eating, we will also discuss how to help you, Deal with your parents' funeral."

Wang Yue saw that the uncle surnamed Zhou didn't want to say his name, and he didn't force it, as long as he could remember the names of his two sons, he followed the three of them secretly after finishing his work, and found their home.

……

Wang Yue didn't know how to handle the funeral procedures at this time. Fortunately, Uncle Zhou and his two sons helped, and the four of them worked for a long time before cremating the bodies of Wang Yue's parents. Under the watchful eyes of the uncle, father and son, they walked slowly to the outside of Jichun City.

Not really, Wang Yue was in a hurry to go back, mainly because he seemed to remember that that special period was coming soon, and it was safer to stay in his hometown than to stay anywhere.

However, before going back, Wang Yue still felt that he had to see where the Zhou family was. After all, there was no internet now, so even if he wanted to repay his kindness in the future, he probably wouldn't be able to find anyone to go to.

What Wang Yue didn't expect was that he thought he was doing it secretly enough, but after he quietly turned back and followed him to the door of Photonic Zhou's house, he was discovered by Uncle Zhou.

It's not that Wang Yue's tracking level has declined, it's just that his current state is not very good. When following behind, even if he is on his toes, he can't make no sound under his feet.

In addition, the snow had just fallen, and there were few pedestrians on the street, and the thin figure of the prince was a little obvious.

Uncle Zhou thought he was followed by those restless people, but he was relieved when he saw that it was Wang Yue who followed them back.

Wang Yue was also quite embarrassed after being discovered. After all, the other party had just helped him, and his behavior was indeed not very good, so he hesitated and wanted to organize his words.

Uncle Zhou didn't know what Wang Yue was hesitating about, so he thought it was snowing, and Wang Yue wanted to stay at their house. Standing at the gate of his courtyard, he said awkwardly, "Xiao Yue! It's not that uncle doesn't help You, my family has too many people to live in."

Wang Yue didn't expect to be misunderstood, but he didn't quite understand Uncle Zhou's clear statement that they lived there. Let alone the fact that they didn't know each other well, it just depends on how big the uncle's house was, and Bingkun said at the time that there was an older sister at home. Mom, he knew that he might not be able to live.

Thinking of this, Wang Yue was about to explain. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the door of the courtyard opened.Not long after, a beautiful little girl emerged from behind Uncle Zhou.

Seeing this little girl, Wang Yue suddenly belatedly thought, Uncle Zhou's resolute refusal could not be because of this little girl, right?

The girl didn't know what Wang Yue was thinking. She glanced at Wang Yue and asked suspiciously, "Dad, who is he? Do you know him?"

Wanting to understand what happened, Wang Yue quickly shook his head and said without waiting for Uncle Zhou to introduce him, "No need for Uncle Zhou, I will recognize the door and leave immediately."

When Uncle Zhou heard what Wang Yue said, he immediately understood what Wang Yue meant, and he recognized Wang Yue even more in his heart. It is not easy for a child to have such an image, but now there are five earthen houses in his family. I have a large family and my daughter is getting older, so it is really inconvenient.

While the three were talking, everyone in the room came out. Through the gap in the wall, Wang Yue saw Zhou Bingkun and Zhou Bingyi coming out of the room one after another accompanied by a middle-aged woman.

The little girl saw the three of them coming out, but couldn't wait for her father's answer, so she quickly asked Zhou Bingyi, "Brother, this is the kid you helped today, right?"

Zhou Bingyi reached out and touched his sister's small head, and then said helplessly, "Rongrong, don't look at Wang Yue's small stature, he is the same age as you."

Zhou Rong heard what Zhou Bingyi said, so she looked at Wang Yue carefully, but she still didn't quite believe it, but seeing Wang Yue's yellow and thin face, she thought it might be true.

For a while, Zhou Rong felt that Wang Yue was so pitiful, so she said to her father, "Dad, why don't you lie on the kang in the same bed as my mother and I today, and let him leave tomorrow. It will be too late at this time." Yes, it's still snowing."

Mother Zhou heard what her daughter said, looked at Wang Yue, who was pale and emaciated, and persuaded, "Zhigang, why don't you just listen to the second child? It's only one night, just deal with it."

Zhou Zhigang heard his old wives and children say that, and he thought about it carefully, so he nodded in agreement.

In fact, it's not that he has no sympathy. If he didn't have sympathy, he wouldn't help, and even helped pay for Wang Yue's parents' funeral, but he was really worried that Wang Yue would rely on their family. After all, such things are not uncommon.

With Zhou Zhigang's salary, it is not easy to barely support this big family. If one and a half children are added, he really can't stand it.

Wang Yue also saw what Zhou Zhigang meant, but he didn't blame the other party. After all, no one is rich in this day and age, and who is willing to help others raise their children?

……

The two members of the Zhou family and the three children were very kind to Wang Yue. Wang Yue had a full meal at Zhou's house and had a good night's sleep.

Early the next morning, Wang Yue was wearing Zhou Bingkun's old clothes, carrying a small bag containing two urns, and riding Zhou's father's bicycle to the north of the city.

Wang Yue originally thought that Uncle Zhou was just sending him out of the city, so he hurried back on foot. Unexpectedly, Uncle Zhou sent him all the way to the village. Seeing that Wang Yue and the neighbors were familiar with each other, he hurried to the village. back to catch up.

Wang Yue was really moved by Uncle Zhou this time. You must know that this is a road of more than 100 miles, and it is still a snowy day. Most people would definitely not ride a bicycle and just send someone back like this.

In Wangjiatun, where Wang Yue lived, every household went out to beg for food. After all, it was basically impossible to borrow food these days. Even the few members of the old village head's family had to go out to beg for food.

The old village head was a little surprised that Wang Yue was sent back alone. In his opinion, Wang Yue's parents were both young and strong, and they couldn't stand it outside, so they would definitely be able to come back.

Just seeing Wang Yue coming back with a broken schoolbag on his back, without seeing Wang Yue's parents, this gave him a bad feeling, so he hurriedly followed Wang Yue back home to inquire about the situation.

Of course, Wang Yue didn't hide it. When the old village head came to his home, he also told the old village head about his parents' situation. After all, he needed the old village head's help to organize the burial.

What Wang Yue didn't expect was that after listening to the old village chief, he suddenly sighed and said something that made him wonder whether he should be sad or happy.

The old village chief said, "Your parents love their children. We don't know how many people will starve to death in this winter. Before you left, I told your parents about the rations that can be distributed. I didn't expect You even got into trouble, your parents starved themselves to death and left you all the food."

It was not until Wang Yue buried his parents' ashes and received food from the brigade. When he returned home, he realized that there was enough food for one person at most until next year's food, and he was still not full.

Only then did Wang Yue realize belatedly that the death of his parents was not that simple.

Want to understand, Wang Yue has nothing to do, after all, he came late, even if he is very skilled in medicine, he can't save the dead.

……

In the following days, some people who went out in the village rushed back one after another. Of course, most of them were with the family when they left, and there were a few fewer when they came back.

It is better with Wang Yue's family. After hearing about Wang Yue's family, I came to Wang Yue's house to sit. After all, there are at least adults in other families, but Wang Yue's family is so lonely.

As the weather got colder, this kind of situation became less and less, which made Wang Yue heave a sigh of relief.

……

Wang Yue's current goal is also very clear, he must take care of his body first, and then he can think about other things, but it is definitely impossible to count on the sweet potatoes and other coarse grains at home, so he can only practice his martial arts.

It's just that practicing martial arts has a disadvantage. On the contrary, it caused Wang Yue's family to consume these coarse grains faster, and it would not be possible to survive the winter if it continued like this.

However, Wang Yue didn't care, he felt that after recovering, he could always find a way.

After raising him like this for a month or two, Wang Yue's body finally looked like a normal half-sized child, but he was still very thin.

Looking at the food at home, if he can't keep eating like this, Wang Yue can only take advantage of the good weather and go to the nearby mountains to try his luck.

On the first day, Wang Yue ran out excitedly, and finally returned empty-handed. He didn't catch a single prey, but he found a good mountain peach tree instead. When I came back from the festival, I went to the former butcher's house in the village, exchanged a dozen catties of sweet potatoes for a beef tendon that his family was going to cook, kneaded it after going back, and made a bow.

After working for several days, Wang Yue finally made a longbow, and made more than a dozen feathered arrows out of ground bones, and Wang Yue went up the mountain again.

It's not that Wang Yue has degenerated into a primitive man, but because during the steelmaking period two years ago, all the iron utensils in the countryside were handed over, and now the cooking pots are all made of ceramics, so it's hard to find iron. Easy.

Of course, Wang Yue had nowhere to find scrap iron to make arrowheads. It was good enough to find a piece of sharp bone, and he had no right to be picky.

……

In fact, there is only one corner of Wangjia Village next to the foot of the mountain, and they can also be allowed to go up the mountain to cut firewood, because many young people have their own ideas in the mountain, and the prey is too rare. After Wang Yue walked up the mountain, he couldn't find it for a long time prey.

There was really no way, so Wang Yue walked deeper into the mountain, and he found some traces of small animals' activities.

After Wang Yue brought two sweet potatoes and finished eating, he also caught two wild rabbits. He didn't greed for merit, so he went back overnight.

In this way, Wang Yue began to go out early and return late to eat meat at night, and his body became stronger day by day.

In other words, Wang Yue finally has flesh on his body, and he is no longer in that skinny state that may lose his life at any time.

Wang Yue's good life finally came to an end in the spring of the second year, because the spring wheat had started to be planted, everyone had to go to work, and he didn't have time to go out and run around. It was also the first time he experienced the depression of collective labor. .

It’s not that there’s any cheating and cheating, everyone is anxious to plant the seeds brought by the village director as soon as possible. After all, no one knows if there will be another severe drought this year. Let the seeds germinate. Many families are counting on sweet potatoes to live?

Because of this, the villagers were desperate to work. Before dawn, Wang Yue was summoned to go to the field together. He was busy until it was dark, and then he went back with aches and pains.

Fortunately, Wang Yue has become stronger this winter, otherwise, if he continues to work like this, he will definitely be useless.

When the busy farming period is over, Wang Yue feels that this cannot go on. He wonders if he can go to those machinery factories to give pointers, as in the novel, with his technology. Maybe he can find a job opening and get rid of his current job The days of farm work.

So taking advantage of the slack season, Wang Yue asked the director of the club for leave, saying to visit Zhou's house, and the director agreed after a little consideration.

The reason why the director of the club agreed to Wang Yue's going out was because during the slack time of the farming season, if one person left alone, he would get a little less work points, so others would not have any objections.And he remembered that someone sent Wang Yue back last year, and he really needed to thank him.

Wang Yue came outside the village, pulled out the two rabbits he had prepared a long time ago from the hole in the ditch, and walked towards Jichun City with them.

Father Zhou was with him when he returned to Wangjiatun. Although you felt far away, the chat between the two of them didn't feel slow. But this time he went out early in the morning and arrived at Zhou's house when it was dark.

At this time, the Zhou family was having dinner, and they were very surprised to see Wang Yue coming over. You must know that it has been a long time since Wang Yue came home, and little Zhou Rong thought that the three buns in their house were meat buns beating dogs. .

The reason why Zhou Rong complained so much was because she later heard that Wang Yue ate all the three steamed buns brought back by Zhou Lao, and left none for her.

Seeing that the little girl seemed unhappy, Wang Yue didn't know what was going on, so he took out the two rabbits from the broken schoolbag that Zhou Bingkun gave him behind him, and put them on the kang table.

Seeing this scene, Father Zhou looked at Wang Yue with admiration, but he knew that Wang Yue was not easy, so he put off and said, "You can come to see us, which proves that you are very serious. What else do you bring?"

Mrs. Zhou was also taken aback by the two rabbits, and she also quickly said, "That's right, you came here as soon as you came, what are you doing with such expensive things?"

Wang Yue smiled, and said indifferently, "This is a rabbit I hunted up the mountain in my free time, and it's worth nothing for nothing."

Zhou Bingkun and Zhou Rong saw that the eyes of the two rabbits were staring round. Although their family is not hungry, it is quite difficult to eat meat. Except for the holidays, it is always difficult to eat a bite. Otherwise, Zhou Rong would also I won't be so resentful about that steamed stuffed bun.

Zhou Bingyi's focus was different, but he asked unexpectedly, "Xiaoyue, I heard that the countryside is busy with farming now? Why do you still have time to hunt?"

Father Zhou came from the countryside, but he knew something, so he laughed and scolded Zhou Bingyi, "To learn something, you must keep your feet on the ground. Recently, it is busy farming, but because of the disaster, the common people have been frightened. I want to take advantage of the recent weather. It’s a good time to plant the seeds in advance, so it must be early.”

After Zhou's father finished speaking, he asked his old wife to buy more bowls and chopsticks, and told Wang Yue to sit down and eat quickly.

After the group sat down, they chatted about their recent experiences while eating.

Zhou Rong listened for a long time, but asked with some doubts, "It's wonderful to hear what you said, but don't you have to go to school?"

As soon as Zhou Rong's words fell, Zhou Bingyi and Zhou's father scolded him at the same time. After all, they all knew about Wang Yue's situation, but Zhou Rong seemed to have ignored it.

Wang Yue waved his hand indifferently, and said very calmly, "There are not many people in the village who can read. I want to learn, so I can learn it somewhere. There is a school in the town, but the tuition is a bit expensive. Wait for the next year's harvest. Alright, let me go."

Hearing what Wang Yue said, Zhou Bingkun felt that Wang Yue was too pitiful. After thinking about it, he moved out of his small box, found the dictionary he used, stuffed it into Wang Yue's schoolbag, and then said with a smile, " Tomorrow, I will teach you how to use it, so you should first look at the dictionary and recognize the characters."

Everyone in the Zhou family looked at Zhou Bingkun. They didn't expect their old lump to be so arrogant. To know this dictionary, Zhou Bingkun and the baby were very tight. They didn't expect to take it out.

However, after all, they were all from their own family, and they were afraid that Zhou Bingkun would lose face, so they didn't say it. Moreover, they were happy to see Zhou Bingkun's behavior like this. They didn't want such a smart child like Wang Yue to become an illiterate.

Wang Yue knew that this family was kind-hearted, and he also had the heart to associate with this family, so he didn't see outsiders. He also needed a reason to let himself know how to read, so he nodded bluntly.

With this reciprocity, they became more intimate with each other, and the atmosphere of chatting at night became better. I don't know how long they talked before they couldn't lie on the kang and fell asleep one after another.
