Era: I have a two-world door

Chapter 5, negotiate a way out

When we arrived at the courtyard of a thatched house, the door was open.

Walking in and arriving at the door of the main room, Wang Qingsong shouted inside: "Xiao Zao, Xiao Zao!"

After shouting for a while, when I heard the sound, I saw an eleven or twelve-year-old girl opening the door of the main room and walking out.

"Qingsong! Why are you here?"

"Oh, I have something to do with my aunt. Is she at home?"

In fact, the question is nonsense.

Where else could you be if you weren't at home?

Feng Xiaozao hesitated for a moment, then said: "My mother is sick and is in the house!"

Hearing this, Wang Qingsong nodded: "Well, then I'll go talk to my aunt. I'll be fine in a while."

After saying that, he walked inside.

Feng Xiaozao saw this and followed him in.

There was a fire burning under the stove in the main room, which was used to heat the kang.

Entering the room on the left, I saw the haggard Widow Feng lying weakly on the bed.

He was wearing a blue-gray cotton-padded jacket with many patches on it.

A bloated and fat face, the once beautiful face is no longer visible. It is almost the same as his sister, except that the wheat is not as serious as hers.

"Aunt~"

Wang Qingsong looked at the other party and shouted softly.

The two men had a notorious reputation in the village.

But he was not afraid, he had not offended either of them.

Moreover, he and Feng Xiaozao still have a good relationship. They used to go to school together.

My grades are pretty good.

If Xiaozao didn't understand anything, most of them would come to him to ask.

It's because their family is also an outsider in the village.

Subconsciously, you will get closer.

When his mother was still alive, she had a good relationship with Widow Feng.

It wasn't until his mother passed away and his father married a new wife that things gradually faded away.

Widow Feng looked at him and nodded gently: "Qingsong, why are you here?"

Wang Qingsong heard this, looked at the two people, and said straight to the point: "Aunt, I came to you to ask you something. My sister and I..."

Then he briefly told what happened.

"After the New Year, I have to go to school in the county. It's inconvenient to take my sister with me. Aunt, can you help take care of it? Don't worry, my sister's clothes are washed by herself. When cooking, you can help with her and make something. Sleep here at night. What do you think of me giving you three kilograms of grain a month?"

If things are arranged properly, he will go to the city to borrow some food from his eldest brother or second brother.

Deal with it for a month first.

When school starts and he gets his meal ticket, he can buy a batch of food prepared in the cafeteria, dry it and bring it back.

There are also some rural people in the school who do this.

And he still has a little bit of backup.

Widow Feng smiled bitterly when she heard this: "Qingsong, look at my aunt like this, how can I take care of her! I can't help her either."

Wang Qingsong saw this and said with a smile: "Auntie, I know your illness. To put it bluntly, it means you don't eat enough. The big hospital in the city said it's edema. Just go and prescribe some soybeans or eggs and you'll be fine."

Soybeans and eggs on the market have reached sky-high prices.

However, the prices of soybeans and eggs prescribed by the hospital are still acceptable. Soybeans are 7 cents per catty and eggs are 6 cents per catty. The prices are the same as before the supply was cut off.

Prices have not risen to sky-high prices due to shortages of supplies.

Feng Xiaozao next to her was already bursting into tears.

Crying and saying: "Mom, look here, let me tell you, you just eat less, if you insist on not eating, eat it all for me. I am the one who harmed you." Hearing this, Widow Feng didn't care. He shook his head: "Don't listen to Qingsong, I'm just sick. What does it have to do with whether I eat or not?"

He looked at Wang Qingsong with a wry smile on his face: "The problem is where do I have the money? I can't even borrow money in this situation!"

Upon seeing this, Wang Qingsong said: "Auntie, my sister is the same as you. She is very swollen. I am going to take her to the hospital for a checkup. We will leave tomorrow morning. You can come with us then. I will lend you the money. Yes. What do you think if you get better from your illness and help me take care of Wheat for a while? It won’t be too long. I will find a way to leave as soon as possible."

The reason why I came to her like this was because of what her mother said before she was alive.

Widow Feng is a hard-working person with a good heart.

He believed what his mother said.

Even if he sees the wrong person, that's okay. If it doesn't work, just change the place. He has plenty of ways.

It’s just that life will be very difficult.

"This……"

When Widow Feng heard this, she looked hesitant.

Wang Qingsong continued to persuade, "Auntie, look at your body. It's not nice to say it. If you delay it any longer, what if something unexpected happens? What will you do if you leave Xiao Zao alone?"

He knew it would definitely succeed, but he didn't know if she would treat wheat like Sun Xiuhe did.

Sure enough, Widow Feng looked at her daughter and hesitated.

No one wants to die, not to mention she has a daughter.

Finally nodded: "Okay, we will go over there tomorrow morning. If my disease is really cured, don't give me any more food. Just make sure you have enough wheat rations. I don't have much at home." Food, as for the laundry you mentioned, it’s just incidental.”

At this time, he could lend her money to treat her illness, which was already a huge kindness.

And it’s the kind that’s very difficult to pay back.

Wang Qingsong nodded and was no longer polite.

This had been his purpose.

If you are able, fill it in, but you still have to think of other ways as soon as possible. After all, relying on others is not a problem.

"Well, okay, thank you Auntie. We'll go there early tomorrow morning. Auntie, can you get out of bed? The road there is still three or four miles away! If not, I'll borrow a donkey cart from the captain."

It's only about thirty or forty miles to the city. If you usually go there, you can walk there.

It's only five or six hours.

But not now, let alone my sister and Widow Feng, who are both bloated.

Not even him.

He just drank a little bit of thin soup, but now he felt a little panicked and his hands were shaking.

He knew this. The doctor at the county hospital said this was called hypoglycemia.

If you don't do it right, people will die.

We can only go to the main road four miles away from here and take a passing long-distance bus to the city.

It's four miles away, so it's okay to walk a little slower on this road.

Widow Feng straightened the quilt and said with a smile: "It's okay to get out of bed, but I walk slowly!"

Wang Qingsong nodded and grinned: "Okay, Auntie, please eat more in advance tomorrow morning, otherwise it will be a problem to walk by then."

After speaking, he hesitated and asked: "Auntie, can you let Xiaomai and Xiaozao sleep at night? The house matter may take a few days."

Sleeping at night is still a problem!

As for him, it was a little inconvenient, after all, Xiao Zao was already quite old.

"Okay, come here."

Wang Qingsong didn't refuse when he was asked to come over. If other ways were not worked out, he would still have to sleep here. He couldn't freeze to death outside!
  You can't say it to death.

"Then it's settled, Auntie, I'll go back and take care of the matter first."

After seeing that the matter was settled, Wang Qingsong said hello and left.
