"I borrowed it from my uncle''s house. Did my aunt embarrass you again?" Du Xiaoli said. Now is the time when there is a shortage of rice. Who else has stored up rice except uncle''s house?

    Du Xiuheng didn''t expect Du Xiaoli to win the guess and said, "it''s not too difficult. Just say something about me. Anyway, there''s rice now. I''ll put away the medicine residue and cook porridge for you."

    Du Xiaoli remembered that there was no place outside to shelter from the rain. The so-called kitchen had temporary structures to shelter from the rain, but when his aunt came last time, she "accidentally" tilted the shelter. If people squatted inside to cook porridge, they couldn''t even straighten up.

    "Brother, you go and move some stones in, and then build a temporary stove in the house and cook porridge in it. It''s raining outside." Du Xiaoli suggested.

    "But aren''t you used to the smell of firewood?" Du Xiuheng said.

    "It''s not cold now. If you cook in it, the room can ease a little." Du Xiaoli said and closed her eyes. She couldn''t control whether he would come in, because she fell into a half dream and half coma again.

    Maybe there was a bowl of Medicine on her stomach, maybe she was too weak. Du Xiaoli didn''t wake up. When she opened her eyes again, the day was already bright.

    The rain was still falling. She pulled the thin rotten quilt on her body and sighed about the bad weather in spring and the room with air leakage on all sides.

    Maybe because of the medicine last night, she was much better. At least she could sit up by herself. As soon as she sat up, she saw Du Xiuheng coming in from the outside and playing a broken umbrella. Some parts of her clothes were wet.

    "Sister, you''re awake." seeing that Du Xiaoli was awake, Du Xiuheng took his umbrella and put it at the door. Then he put a bag of things in a dry place in the house and said, "I''ll heat the medicine for you first, and then heat the porridge for you."

    With that, Du Xiuheng busied himself in the house, setting up a pot and living. It seems that he has been quite skilled.

    Du Xiaoli found that Du Xiuheng really built a small temporary stove in the house. The medicine had been fried long ago, but it was simply hot. He took the medicine to Du Xiaoli, took the pot out to wash it, and boiled the porridge in a bowl.

    Du Xiaoli drank the medicine and felt that his body was really weak. Even if he drank the medicine, his body would sweat.

    "I cooked the porridge last night. I saw you sleeping so heavily. I thought it was the onset of the drug effect, so I didn''t call you. Now I''m hungry. The porridge will be hot in a moment, and I can drink it after drinking the medicine." Du Xiuheng said.

    Soon, the so-called porridge was also brought to Du Xiaoli''s hands. She looked at the clear porridge that could raise goldfish and sighed in her heart how poor they were!

    Because it''s cooked in a pot, the porridge tastes like medicine. She felt her stomach and was really hungry. She drank up the bowl of porridge three or two times. When she finished, she remembered and asked Du Xiuheng, "brother, have you eaten?"

    Du Xiuheng''s eyes dodged, smiled and said, "I''ve already eaten. When I just went out, I looked at the sky. It shouldn''t rain for a few days. When it clears up, I''ll go to the mountains to fetch more firewood and change money to buy you meat and boil porridge."

    Du Xiaoli looked at the wild vegetables next to the pot. He was silent for a while and said, "brother, why did you just go?"

    "Oh, I just went to Dr. Niu. Your medicine is gone. I''ll go to him and see if I can renew two pairs of medicine for you. You just drank the medicine and go to sleep." Du Xiuheng answered her question while cleaning up the two bowls Du Xiaoli had just used. His voice is more pleasant. It must be doctor Niu who renewed his medicine.

    Du Xiaoli nodded, fell down and closed her eyes to sleep. Du Xiuheng saw that she was asleep and went outside to get some water. He cooked and ate the wild vegetables set aside. Then he went out with a pot and bowl. He should have washed the dishes.

    After Du Xiuheng went out, Du Xiaoli opened his eyes, looked at more than half of the wild vegetables missing, stayed for a while, and then closed his eyes and went to sleep.

    Du Xiaoli slept until noon. She woke up hungry and found Du Xiuheng lying asleep on the straw.

    "You really have a good brother." Du Xiaoli said faintly, with unspeakable envy in his words.

    Du Xiuheng woke up slowly. He saw Du Xiaoli looking at himself, rubbed his eyes and said, "sister, are you hungry? I''ll decoct medicine for you right away and cook porridge for you."

    Du Xiuheng immediately got up, took a bowl out, took a bowl of water in, fried the medicine and put it beside her, and then began to cook porridge for her. When he saw Du Xiaoli just looking at himself and not talking, he thought she was hungry and said, "take the medicine first, and the porridge will be ready soon."

    Du Xiaoli didn''t speak, just nodded.

    Soon, Du Xiuheng cooked the porridge. Du Xiaoli saw that he poured all the porridge into one bowl and said, "brother, divide it into two bowls."

    "Two bowls?" Du Xiuheng looked at Du Xiaoli puzzled and asked, "why do you want two bowls?"

    "We each have a bowl," Du Xiaoli replied.

    "It''s all right. I''ll have something else later. You''re sick now. You should drink more porridge." Du Xiuheng didn''t expect Du Xiaoli to give half to himself. He was moved and smiled on his face.

    "You cook the vegetables, and then divide them into two." Du Xiaoli looked at the remaining leaves and said, "patients also need to eat more green vegetables, so they can get better faster."

    "Really?" Du Xiuheng asked suspiciously. "Of course it''s true, doctor Niu told me." Du Xiaoli couldn''t say it was modern knowledge, so he had to move doctor Niu out. As soon as Du Xiuheng heard what doctor Niu said, he believed it. According to Du Xiaoli, he cooked the wild vegetables and divided them into two parts. Each of them had a wild vegetable and porridge, and simply ate lunch. After drinking medicine and having lunch, Du Xiaoli felt much better because he had slept for a day. He no longer had the strength to raise his hand. After having lunch, Du Xiuheng picked up a book and began to read it. Now it''s raining, he can''t go out, so he had to take out his previous book. Du Xiaoli looked at Du Xiuheng reading seriously and knew that he didn''t have to work when his mother was there, but went to a private school. Now, in order to support them, they have to leave school and take the responsibility of supporting their families. She wrapped the quilt around herself, came to the door and looked at the scenery outside. The house is located on the hillside. Looking down, you can''t see the scenery at the foot of the mountain. You can only see the barren mountain in front of your door. "Sister, you''re not well yet. Don''t stand at the door. Be careful of the cold wind." Du Xiuheng put down his book and looked at the little man at the door. Du Xiaoli returned to the straw pile and lay down. Looking at the sky above, he couldn''t help sighing. He really didn''t expect that he would live in such a house one day. In his previous life, even in the countryside, he was not so poor.
