Chapter 12 To control or not to care
I thought silently in my mind: Adults are not as knowledgeable as children; adults are not as knowledgeable as children.
Recite it silently five times and feel calm.

"It's too cold. If you want to take a bath, you have to wait until summer, otherwise you might catch a cold."

How long will it take to cover yourself up with a cotton coat to keep you warm?

Using a rusty old sickle, he cut an armful of hay to light the fire, and built a fire in front of the nest for the stones to bake.

He was already freezing, so it would be best if he could drink something warm to ward off the cold.

After warming up for a while, the stone shivered less badly. She sighed and said, "Come home with me and drink some hot water. No one will care about you outside. What if you catch a cold and have a fever?"

Shitou buried his scarred round head between his knees and said in a muffled voice: "No, it's okay."

It's okay.

What should I do if my child disobeys?Give him a kid and he'll be obedient.

She slapped him directly on the back of the head and said sternly: "Do you think I'm negotiating with you? Get up and follow me."

The stubborn donkey who refused to go and backed away finally had to follow her obediently.

When we got home, Chang Wenping was making a small jumping trailer for Chang Chunsheng. The door to the outhouse was open, and Moran was sitting in the door using the light outside to pick out soybean seeds for spring plowing.

Shitou stood at the gate and refused to go in. Chang Chunsheng came over with a big beard and a fierce look.

"What are you doing here? Don't you know how to protect yourself from harm? Come in!" Chang Chunsheng said coldly with a stern face.

It will scare people.

He is tall, tall, and has a big beard. He doesn't look like a good person. He deliberately pretends to be fierce, which makes people wonder if he has taken several lives. He can scare even timid children to tears. .

Shi Shi was not intimidated.

He looked up at Chang Chunsheng, then at her, without moving.

"Look, my dad even asked you to come in. Come in, no one will dislike you."

She said helplessly.

Her words were much more effective than Chang Chunsheng's threats.

Shitou walked in cautiously. I don't know if he was nervous or something, but he actually turned around. That was really funny.

"Ahahahaha"

Chang Wenping slapped his thigh and laughed loudly.

Give him a look.

This kid has no eyesight at all. He is already uncomfortable as a child, and his smile must have made him even more uncomfortable.

Chang Chunsheng walked up to Chang Wenping in two steps and swept Chang Wenping down with a gentle sweep of his legs.

Wearing thick clothes, a fall doesn't hurt at all, but it is very embarrassing.

"Ah ha ha ha ha" Chang Chunsheng laughed like he did just now.

"Dad, what are you doing!" Chang Wenping Ma Liu got up from the ground and asked angrily: "I didn't mess with you, you tripped me and you laughed at me."

Those who were wronged almost cried.

Chang Chunsheng covered the top of his head with a big hand like a cattail leaf fan, and said with a sullen smile: "Do you know that being laughed at makes you uncomfortable?"

Chang Wenping realized that it was wrong for him to laugh at others at an inappropriate time, so he rubbed his hands in embarrassment, bared his teeth and smiled at Shitou: "Little bald man, I shouldn't laugh at you, don't be embarrassed."

He also calls people bald, as if he is not bald himself.

The little bald man stood in the middle of the yard, his hands clenched into fists hanging by his sides, his eyes red, as if he was about to cry.

It's not that I want to cry in embarrassment after being laughed at, but I want to cry in envy when I see a warm scene that I never dreamed of.

"What are you doing standing there stupidly? Come inside. There's still a fire burning in the stove. Come in and warm yourself up." Moran glanced at Shitou's ill-fitting cotton-wool and the single shoe on the other foot. He greeted gently.

She went into the house to pour hot water for Shi Shi, and told Molan that Shi Shi took a bath in the flowing water of the river in the cold weather.

Moran shook his head helplessly and sighed: "This silly kid is a clean slut, as long as he can live."

After Shi Shi drank the water, Moran stuffed him with another half piece of pancake. He baked it yesterday and had another meal today, so this was the only half piece left. It was very hard, but delicious. The more he chewed, the better it became.

While Shi Shi was chewing cakes, she and Moran entered the shed. Moran picked out a pair of old but still wearable leather boots from the deerskin boots neatly arranged from large to small.

This row is full of boys' boots, which Moran made by himself, stitch by stitch. The older ones can't be worn anymore so the younger ones can wear them. By the time the youngest wears them, the boots will be almost too worn out.

The pair that Moran picked out were worn by Wenping during the Chinese New Year, and Wenjian should wear them during the Spring Festival next year.

"I saw that the child's feet are not as big as Wen Ping's. If I'm careful, I might be able to wear them during the Spring Festival next year. You can give them to him," Moran said.

Wear warm shoes and walk carefully on the stone roads, lifting your feet very high, firstly to avoid the stones, cattle and sheep dung, and secondly to reduce wear and tear.

Seeing his little back walking further and further away, Moran couldn't help but sigh.

"As a mother, you can't stand to see your child suffer, no matter if it's your own or someone else's. As long as your child suffers, I feel extremely uncomfortable."

"After surviving this winter, no matter how hard it is, it won't be any more painful," she murmured softly.

Dark clouds covered the sky that night, and snowflakes began to fall in the middle of the night. When it stopped snowing at dawn, the snow had already accumulated thickly.

"It's getting cold again. I wonder how the child is doing." Moran mentioned casually while eating breakfast.

She was also a little worried.

After dinner, she went to the river to look for a stone. The stone was lying in a big nest sleeping. She stayed outside and screamed several times without waking him up.

"If you can't afford it, I can go in." He lifted up his tattered cotton-padded jacket and felt a suffocating air blowing in his face, and the unpleasant smell went straight to Tianling Gai.

It smells like urine!

"Which one of you peed in the water?" he asked, frowning and kicking a stone.

Shi Shi still didn't respond, but Xiao Huang next to him let out a few wilting sounds.

Not right!

Climbing in, I touched Shi Shi's forehead with the back of his hand. It was so hot, he had a fever!

He didn't wake up no matter how much he screamed, and he didn't get any reaction even when she slapped him twice on the face.

We must take him to see a doctor. If the fever continues, something will definitely happen.

How to bring it?Who will take it?
When she went home and begged Mo Lan and Chang Chunsheng, they would definitely not ignore her, but it would cost money to see a doctor for medicines and injections. She couldn't be a good person but let her parents bear the pressure!
Looking for Wu Laoer?He wished that his stepson would be burned to death and sick, and he would definitely not care!

Who else is there?

People in the village don't care about other people's affairs, especially matters that require money. What about the officials in the village?
They have to take care of it no matter what!
Deng Deng ran back to the village and went straight to the home of village director Cao Xingwang.

Cao Xingwang used to be the captain of the production team and was quite prestigious in the village. As long as he wanted to take care of it, Shitou's life would be much easier in the future.

The key is that Cao Xingwang never felt that he should be involved in the affairs of Wu Laoer's family, regardless of whether they were relatives or not. How parents take care of their children is their business, not even the village director.

Not only did he feel that he couldn't control it, but the people in the village also felt that the village director couldn't control other people's family affairs. Therefore, the villagers didn't think there was anything wrong with them not caring about Shitou, a seven-year-old child, being so abused by Wu Jiangshan.

Today, she had to make Cao Xingwang realize that Shitou's matter was not only a family matter, but also a village matter, a major matter that had to be taken care of!
