Fields of Gold

The refugees in the ”camp", meeting a man like a wealthy master, walked in excitement, followed by a little girl with a pink jade. The fugitives were afraid to run into their dignitaries and took refuge. When the fathers and daughters get there, you can guess what's going on quietly.

When she heard her little daughter's voice, Yuhai barely stopped. She returned to hold on to her little daughter's hand and continued to walk towards that familiar figure.

“Dad, who did you see? Isn't that my aunt?” Since the winter, Dad has been saying a lot about his great-aunt in the Northeast disaster area. I don't know what's going on with Auntie Tang. There are refugees on Tang Gu's side who have been fleeing, but there has been no news of Auntie Tang.

Yuhai held her little daughter's small hand and, despite her impatience, slowed down her steps towards her daughter. Closer and closer to that thin figure, Grass felt Daddy's hands trembling slightly.

“His father, drink porridge. This Tang Gu porridge is a lot thicker than anywhere else, and it's got a lot of rice in it!” Yu Caifeng gently lifted the man lying in the straw, thin and shapeless, with a strong smile.

The man coughed violently and his dead face rose red as if he could not breathe at any time. Several refugees in the vicinity, fearing that he was getting lungs, moved far away.

The man finally calmed down, gasped for a few moments, and was helpless: "I'm not hungry. Drink with the children! ”

Yu Caifeng shook his head stubbornly and said softly: "The children are in line to collect porridge! In Tang Gu, it's almost home. We'll go back to Dongshan Village tomorrow. ”

The man moistened his dry, bleeding lips with his tongue and sighed slightly: "I have dragged your mothers. If it wasn't for treating me, you wouldn't suffer so much. I'm sick, it doesn't look like it. I'm wasted eating this porridge, you should eat it! The kids are young, your body can't be dragged down too...”

“What are you saying!! Your illness is just a cold, and conditions on the road are a little delayed. When I get back to Dongshan Village, I will turn around some silver money to my father and find a doctor from Tong Ren Tang to show you... Dr. Sun from Tong Ren Tang in this town, the medicine is good, all said that if he wanted to, being a Tai Doctor is more than enough. He must cure your illness! Eat the porridge!!” Yu Caifeng's eyes were wet and she looked like a murderer.

The man was several years older than her and a widower. When she first married him, she had a strong personality and had not given him a good look for a long time. However, a man has a good temper, can tolerate her temper and treat her like a daughter's pet. Although she was dissatisfied with the affair at first, she was moved by the sincerity of the man and lived with him wholeheartedly. Fifteen years of interdependence, relying on him and believing that he had become a habit. Now, she can't imagine if she could survive without him...

The man looked at his daughter-in-law's helpless wandering eyes and felt a sharp pain in his heart that made him more intolerable than when he was sick. He smiled. “Okay! I'll drink this porridge! It's stuck in front of the house. We have to keep it up! I really can't let go of your mother's four..."

“Stop it, drink the porridge...” Yu Caifeng wiped his eyes, scooped a spoon of porridge with a spoon, blew it gently and sent it to the man's mouth. The man put the porridge in his mouth and tried to swallow it.

Yu Xiaohua and his daughter saw the scene from afar and felt a lot of emotion in their hearts. At this time, three children with porridge, passing by them, the loudest boy sounded slightly quicker: “Dad, Mom! The porridge man here is so nice, our kids can fill up a bowl! These three bowls of porridge are enough for our family to share!! ”

One of the little grass girls, about her age, saw a man eat half a bowl of porridge and gave a comforting smile on his face: "Dad is in good spirits today! My appetite is much better! Mother, isn't Father's illness almost over? ”

Yu Caifeng fed the man a cup of porridge and said: “See your uncle tomorrow and your father will be able to go into town to cure his illness. The doctors in town are doing well. Your father's illness will be cured! ”

The youngest of the three children, delicate: “Mother, Father's illness is better, don't we have to ask for dinner? ”

Yu Caifeng's nose was sour and he nodded heavily: “When your father's illness is better, you can find work in town. Your father is so capable of feeding our family! ”

“Wonderful! We won't be yelled at as" Flowers "! Mother, Ping is not screaming for flowers or rice. Brother said that we are only in a difficult situation and will be fine in the future!” The little boy opened his eyes as big as Yu Caifeng's, naive and serious.

Watching this scene, Yu Hai choked. He quickly walked over and shouted loudly at Yu Caifeng: “Sister!! ”

Yu Caifeng held his hand in a bowl of porridge and shook it violently. He seemed incredible. He turned his head slowly. After seeing Yuhai, his lips trembled and could not speak.

“Sister!” Yuhai rushed over with an arrow step, hugging Yu Caifeng, who was thin and had only one bone left, turned tears for half a day in his orbit and flowed down his cheek.

“Xiaohai? Is that Xiaohai?” Yu Caifeng still couldn't believe it, afraid that he was in a dream. Along the way, she supported her conviction that besides the children, she was the younger brother she hadn't seen in over a decade.

“Sis, it's me! It's your little sea!! Sister, you suffer!!” Yuhai held her sister and cried like a child.

Sister is only three years older than him. When her mother died, she endured grief and held him like Yuhai is now holding her and comforting him. When the Zhang clan withheld the two brothers' meals for lack of food, on many occasions the sister divided them from her own meals. In order to protect him, my sister was beaten and verbally abused by Zhang. Even now, nearly thirty years old, he is still the “Xiaohai” who trusts his sister!

Yu Caifeng held Yu Hai's face and looked carefully. He smiled with relief: “Xiaohai, I feel relieved to see that you are doing well! ”

Yuhai saw the broken shirt that couldn't be shielded from her sister and the children. She frowned softly and asked: "Sister! In the autumn, someone will send a letter to bring you back. How come it's not here yet? Didn't I give you a message? How did this happen? ”

Yu Caifeng just saw the cheap cotton cloth robe on his brother. Though she wondered how the Zhang family could have dressed his brother so well, she didn't ask. She just sighed. “Alas... it's hard to say! ”

From Yu Caifeng's words, Yu Hai understands that there is a little surplus grain in the house due to the diligence of her sister's husband. In the Great Northeast Drought, the couple received a letter from Yuhai and wrapped it up, but could not afford to save the base industry. So he pulled twenty taels from the silver sent by Yu Haidian and quietly accumulated some food to see if he could survive till spring farming.

It was thought that after a winter, the hungry people, starving and red-eyed, who did not know where they had surplus food, rushed into their homes, smashed their houses, stole food and wounded their men. Fortunately, Yu Caifeng hid the remaining thirty taels of silver well and was not searched.

Food was taken from the house, and what was valuable in the house was taken by the hungry people. After being helpless, Yu Caifeng and his wife cleaned up some fine softness, took three children and eventually joined the ranks of the refugees.

Halfway through, a spring and cold storm struck the ranks of refugees, and many fleeing fell ill. Yuhai's brother-in-law, Liu Hu, took advantage of his strength and gave all the clothes to his daughter-in-law and children, so he fell ill.

At first, Liu Hu did not take his illness seriously. Didn't you get sick all the time? He didn't want to delay his journey, he had a fever, he didn't want to say, so he stuck on the road. Finally fell ill in a town just out of the northeast.

At this time, he, a little cold, had already turned into pneumonia. There was only one barefoot doctor in the town who was ill with medical care. The money was spent, and the pills were caught. Liu Hu's illness is always repeated and cannot be cured.

That's it, staying in the store again, healing again. More than a month later, Liu Caifeng's money had already been spent. Liu Hu felt that his illness could not be cured, so he refused to receive treatment. He insisted that he persevered on going on the road. Yu Caifeng couldn't resist him. He had to leave his extra baggage and rent a cow truck. He came all the way south.

On the road, Liu Hu's illness is good and bad, the plate has been all spent, even eating is a problem, let alone renting a car. The family supports each other, collecting meals and rushing along. Had it not been for a belief in his heart to support him, Liu Hu would have fallen - before he died, be sure to look at his daughter-in-law and children, go home and find his own family. Otherwise, he will die!

Man, once supported by faith, often creates miracles. Liu Hu dragged the patient until he saw Tang Gu Gate. The moment he watched his daughter-in-law and her brother embrace him, a profound fatigue struck - perhaps it was time for him to leave at ease.

“Daddy... Daddy! Mother, Dad seems to have passed out again!!” Yu Caifeng's eldest son, Liu Junping, pushed his father gently, but did not receive any response. He shouted in some panic.

Liu Caifeng returned to see the dead face of the man, his heart chirped, hurried over, with his trembling fingers, reaching under the man's nose. This time, her face changed dramatically and she cried out, "His father!” and fainted in front of Yuhai.

Yuhai's eyes quickly held her down and looked at Liu Hu lying in the straw pile, closing her eyes, a sour attack in her heart.

“Daddy!” The three children seemed to realize something, crying and shaking Liu Hu's body. The voice hears sadness and the smeller weeps.
