Chapter 4 Taking Names

Mrs. Xu dug a hole under a locust tree at the foot of the mountain, buried Cuihua's pillow in the hole, and built a small grave with soil.

In the evening when Li Laolan came back from the field, Mrs. Xu dragged him to the locust tree and said:
"Your daughter is buried here, can I be a stepmother? No matter what happens, I will let her be buried in peace!"

During the famine years, most of the children who died were thrown away directly.Not many can be seriously buried.

The man didn't make a sound, turned around and folded a few wild flowers and put them on the "grave bag".

Xu's words that day echoed in his ears.

'Ugh!This child has less than two hours to live! '

'Go to work!I will take care of the child.If you die, you will live, if you die, I will bury you...'

He turned around and looked at Xu Shi and said, "I'm sorry for you! Cuihua, she... has gone to enjoy the blessings!"

Working in the fields all day long, he knew nothing about Xu's abuse of Cuihua.

What's more, he didn't expect that just after he left that day, Xu would throw his surviving daughter across the mountains and throw her into a random graveyard.

Xu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "We are a couple, don't be polite. No matter what, I have raised her for a few months. Even kittens and puppies have feelings! How can I have the heart to throw her away?" ?”

……

After asking in Houshan Village, no one claimed the picked-up child, and the Qi family couple decided to adopt it in a serious manner.

They need to give the child a name and register first.

"His dad! You name the child!" Cui looked at her husband and said.

Qi Futian pondered for a while and said, "I think it's called Kexin! We have a daughter, so it's Kexin. The nickname is Fubao! She is also blessed to come to our house, what do you think?"

Cui said happily: "This name is good! We have a daughter, it is really sweet!"

"Giggle!" Xiao Kexin laughed, and laughed out loud.

Is there such a coincidence?The name she chose was exactly the same as her previous name!
Originally, the surname Qi was rare, so being adopted by someone with the surname Qi was already a coincidence!Now the names match again, which is great!

She has seen that Qi Futian's family is a kind family, and it is also lucky to be adopted by them.

As for being poor and not having enough to eat, it doesn't matter!In a famine year, everyone is the same!

What's more, these problems are not a problem for her.When she can walk, she will be able to enter the space, and she will help the Qi family.

Although she doesn't know what her space contains yet, there will always be space.There is a high probability that the days will gradually improve in the future.

"Little crying bag, you finally stopped crying, you really treat others when you smile!"

Cui picked up Xiao Kexin and gave her a forehead.All eyes are full of love.

"Baby Fu! Hug, brother!" Shuan Zhu, Tie Zhu, and Tong Zhu rushed over to hug his sister.

Cui smiled and said: "Now you can't hug her! Fubao is too weak! You are not deep or shallow. If you fall, you will be in trouble! Wait for your mother to make her firmer, and you can hug her again."

After speaking, he glanced at her husband, sighed and said:

"His father! How old do you think Fu Bao is? Looking at the deciduous teeth, he should be one year old! But how can a one-year-old child not be able to stand up? Sigh! This child is too lacking in nutrition!"

Qi Futian nodded, "Yes! This kid is too weak! Shuan Zhu can walk a few steps at such a big age!"

"Not only Shuanzhu, but our children were much taller than Fubao when their deciduous teeth first came out. Fubao has four deciduous teeth! They are still so big." Cui looked at Kexin with eyes full of love. , feel sorry for this child.

After a moment of silence, she glanced at her children and said, "From now on, the eggs laid by our chickens should be used to nourish Fu Bao's body first! You are not allowed to compete with her!"

The Qi family originally raised seven or eight hens, but they all starved to death because they had nothing to eat!Only two remain.

These two were also suffocated without eating, and it took several days for an egg to come out.

In a famine year, the eggs laid by chickens are golden eggs, which are very precious.The Qi family couple couldn't bear to eat any of it, so they gave it to the child.

Whenever you have saved up to 5, you will cook and distribute one to each child.

Therefore, even though the Qi family's children were hungry like skinny monkeys, they all survived.Not one died of starvation.

"Mom! We won't fight with my sister, let her do it!" Shuan Zhu glanced at his younger brothers and expressed his opinion first.

Iron pillars and copper pillars also have no objections, but the fourth and fifth sons are a little unhappy.

Especially the fifth child, he used to be an old lump, and his parents took care of him more, but now his parents' attention is shifted to his younger sister, not to mention, he won't even be able to eat eggs in the future.

Qi Futian patted Lao Wu's head, and said, "Father catches a few more chicks last autumn, and then I will ask you guys to eat an egg every day. Okay?"

Hearing what Dad said, the boys' eyes lit up immediately.

"Dad! Catch more chicks! I'll feed them, and I'll catch bugs and feed them." The third child, Tong Zhu, said excitedly.

"Can you catch bugs? Don't brag! People eat bugs, even ants. How can chickens be eaten?" Tie Zhu said unceremoniously to his younger brother.

During the famine years, there was no food to eat. In order to fill their stomachs, all edible things in the world were eaten by people.

Mouse holes and ant holes have been dug!

Grass roots, bark, wild vegetables, and insects also entered people's stomachs.

……

In order to feed Xiao Fubao, Cui stared at the hen's buttocks every day, and when she picked up an egg one day, she was as happy as if she had found a treasure.

She would steam eggs into egg custard, mix it in millet porridge or green corn syrup and feed Fubao.

"Baby, eat more! The baby grows up quickly! When it grows up, it will be mother's caring little padded jacket!"

Cui looked at Fubao with a smile, feeding him spoonful by spoonful, eyes full of motherly love.

Xiao Fubao also treats people with relatives. After eating a spoonful of rice, he will give his mother a sweet smile.Cui was so coaxed that he couldn't close his mouth!
In order for the hens to lay more eggs, Tong Zhu went to catch bugs every day.Occasionally he caught a small bug, and he was very happy.

Is it a child after all, just after feeding the worms to the chicken, he turned around and asked his mother if the chicken had laid eggs?
"Hahaha!"

Cui smiled and touched Tongzhu's head, "Silly son! You can't be so fast! The hen needs to absorb the nutrients of the bugs before laying eggs. But if the hen can eat the bugs often, the next There will be more eggs!"

"Then I'll try my best to catch the bugs." Tong Zhu said.

"Mom! If the chicken lays too many eggs, my sister won't be able to eat it, so we can get some too." Old Pimple Wuzhu kept staring at the bowl his mother was feeding, which contained egg custard.

Mrs. Cui patted Wu Zhu on the shoulder, "Yeah! When Dad catches the chicks, our family will raise a few more hens, and when the chicks lay eggs, you can eat eggs every day."

"Aww! That's great!" Wu Zhu jumped up happily.

Xiao Fubao couldn't bear to eat all the eggs by herself. Whenever her brother was around, she would stop eating when she was half full.Cui thought she was full, so she would give the rest to the children around her.

It's the same today, I don't eat when I'm half full.Cui then gave the remaining egg custard to the fifth child beside him.

"Wow! It smells so good!" The fifth bowl was licked clean.
