When they arrived at Second Aunt's house, Min and she naturally ran over quickly and quietly. When they reached the main street, Min and Qianqian said to her, "Qianqian, remember, you must stay far away from Second Aunt's family. Second Uncle was fine before, but he went to find Second Aunt.

She was a widow with a few children. Although the two children were already of age, because her eldest son was over twenty years old, she was unable to find a daughter-in-law. No matter what, Second Uncle Gu and his wife were elders of their own.

When the two of them got home, the three of them at work had already gone home, Minjie was cooking, Minjie had found a few sticks of wood to mend the chicken coop, the chicken coop was filled with broken bricks, next to the pigsty, a half-man's shed, there was a gap between the bars, the chickens were squatting on top of it, pulling the dung from the cracks between the bars and dropping it onto the ground, so that it was easy to clean it, and outside, some sticks of wood had been used to make a high fence to prevent the chickens from coming out and running around, and now the eggs were sold with the salty vinegar they had bought at home.

Seeing that the two of them had returned, Min Jing said, "You two, come back. Min He, come over and help me up."

Min He pulled Min Qian over and asked, "Brother, where's our mother?"

Min Jing said, "Our mother's back hurts again. She'll be lying on the brick bed."

When Min Qian heard this, she released Min He's hand and walked into the house. Min Jing saw her and said, "Min He, hurry and help me up." Min He agreed and quickly helped Min Jing support her. Min Jing used some fine hemp rope to tie up the wooden sticks.

It was unknown what she was thinking, but she looked at the fire underneath the stove blankly. She went over, pushed her back, and said "Big sister", but only then did Min Jie come back to his senses, and saw it was Min Qian. He sat on the small stool in front of the stove and hugged Min Qian's thin little body, saying, "Qianqian is back, we'll eat later."

"Min Qian replied. She looked towards the door of the inner room. Min Jie saw her and said," Qianqian, are you worried about our mother? Our mother's back is always sick, these days she's been busy with harvests, she's so tired, after a good rest she'll be fine. " Minjie didn't stop talking because of Minqian, she didn't talk to her at all. When things happened, Minjie always told Minqie in detail, because the more Minqie didn't speak, the more Minjie felt that the more Minqie talked to her, the better she should talk to her. Minjie didn't start talking to her because of Minqie, but the more Minjie talked to Minqian, the more Minjie started talking to her.

Because of Minqian's condition, everyone in the family felt bad. Minjie knew that her mother hadn't lived a peaceful life since she was pregnant with Minqian, and her mother was already old and didn't have any food to eat, so she still had to go to work. Minqian was born with a weak body, and her grandmother said that it was her fortune to be able to raise this child, and it was also her fate to be able to live. He dragged his body to work. It had already been a few years, but his waist was so tired that it hurt so much that he couldn't straighten it up.

Minqian didn't know what her sister was thinking, but her expression turned more and more unsightly. She gently pulled away from Min Jie's embrace and said, "I want to see my mother."

When Min Jie heard this, his complexion improved a lot. He smiled and said, "Then you go take a look. Mother is lying on the brick bed. Big sister is cooking. When it's ready, we'll eat."

She wanted to take care of Mother Gu, but she didn't know how to do so. She was also afraid that she had done too much to make her family suspicious, so she stood outside the door, looking through the crack in the door, and saw Mother Gu curled up on the kang. At this moment, the kang was already heated, and the heat would help her make her waist feel better.

When Mother Gu heard the commotion, she raised her head to look. Min Qian was standing by the door, quietly looking at her. Her big, black eyes were filled with worry.

Gu Min Qianqian didn't look in the mirror, nor did she have a mirror in her house to look at her appearance. However, Gu Min Qianqian knew that her eyes were very big, and at this moment, her big round eyes stared at Gu Min, causing her heart to feel like it was melting. She beckoned Gu Min Qianqian to open the door, gently closed the door, took off her shoes, and stepped onto the brick bed.

Looking at Gu Moyan's appearance, Mother Gu felt that the past few years of suffering had not been in vain. Qianqian wasn't a little mute; she knew how to speak.

After Min Qian got on the brick bed, she sat beside Mother Gu. After a slight hesitation, she called out softly, "Mother."

When Mother Gu heard this, she smiled and said, "Qianqian, can you play with your second brother?"

Min Qian nodded and asked, "Mother, do you have a backache?"

When Mother Gu heard this, she said, "That's right, mother's back hurts."

Minqian said, "Let me step on Mother."

When Gu Mu's mother heard this, she froze for a moment before continuing with a smile, "Okay, then Qianqian will be stepped on by your mother. Usually your second brother will step on her. Mom thinks your second brother's stepped on a bit too heavily."

Mother Gu rolled onto the brick bed, Gu Min Qian supported herself against the wall and gently stood on Mother Gu's back. Mother Gu said, "Qianqian is still the best. Not light, not heavy. Just nice. Qianqian, move up a little. Right, right, right here, use your heels and stomp on her."

Gu Min Qianqian followed her mother's instructions and lightly stepped on Gu Min's back. Gu Min sighed in satisfaction and said, "Aiya, mother is using my daughter's strength now."

Gu Min Qian wanted to tell Gu Min that in the future, she would definitely make her mother work harder for her. In the future, she would make her mother live a better life.

Gu Min Qianqian stepped on Gu Min's back for a while before Gu Min gently turned around and pulled her into her arms. "Qianqian, we'll definitely get better and better in the future."

Gu Min Qianqian nodded heavily and said, "En, it's getting better and better!"

It was rare for this woman in her forties to have this kind of leisure and heaviness to live her life. Because she was alive, Gu Min Qianqian's body hadn't recovered yet, and the heavy work that followed made her body even colder. Gu Min knew very well that if she continued to work like this, it wouldn't be good, but the reality was like this, what else could she do?

Mother Gu lightly stroked Gu Min's thin, yellow hair. Because of malnutrition, and also because of congenital malnourishment, Gu Min basically hadn't eaten anything good when she was pregnant with her child, and hadn't gotten a good rest either. The child didn't develop well in the stomach, and after being born, the milk wasn't good and there wasn't much nutrition.

When Min Jie opened the door to come in, he saw a scene like this. His mother and sister were lying on the brick bed, and with a rare warmth flowed into the room. Min Jie sighed and said, "Mother, Qianqian, we're going to eat. Come down and wash your hands."

Mother Gu supported herself off the brick bed, while Gu Min Qian followed behind. The two of them went to the water jug in the yard and scooped up some water to wash their hands. Min Jing and Min He had already fixed the chicken coop.

Gu Min Qian ate as much as she could. Although the food was not tasty, her current body needed nutrition, and only after eating more could she get better. Since her family was already so poor, if she got sick, spending money was one aspect of the problem, and most importantly, her family had to worry about her.

After they finished eating, Min Jing helped clean up the table, then said to Mother Gu, "Mother, I'm going to the school to take a look."

The school was built together with the village team, they were all built with brick houses pulled from the cemetery, behind them was the village warehouse, beside the warehouse was the village cowshed, the village now had a few cows, it was a good helper during the Spring and Autumn harvest, whether it was the plow or the cart, they all gave the village a lot of effort.

The cow-shed was built with several shacks, at one time, it was used as a fodder storage area, but after that, a few people came to the village to reform the shack, and the cadres sent in said that these people were here to reform the shack and couldn't live in a good place. The village cadres combined their efforts and repaired the shack with the fodder storage shack for a few people to live in, because there was an old couple among them, and the rest of them were all men, so the villagers divided the shack into large rooms, small ones for the old couple to live in, and the big ones for the rest.

There were still a lot of good people in the village, and seeing the older people who were really freezing, they organized the young men in the village to make an adobe, covering the exterior of the shack in a circle, and adding a layer of straw to the roof. Although the shack was low, it was still warm in the winter and cold in the summer, so it was not too much of a suffering.

Because of this, the few of them chatted with the village boys, who secretly came to help out with some stuff. When the villagers found out about this, most of them just turned a blind eye, because even though this was a common society, it all came from outside, so what the outside world was like, they were not only curious, but also curious about the children.

After that, a few young people came to the village and separated a classroom in the school into two rooms, a male and a female room. The young people came from the outside as well, and since they were of the same age, there were fewer people going to the cowshed, but they all went there secretly, including Gu Min.

When Min He heard this, she said, "Brother, Brother, I want to go with you."

Min Jing said, "I'm going to fetch water for Grandpa Chen. What are you going to do?"

Min He said, "Can't I keep an eye on them for you?"
