Met Erya again
Yang Ruoqing quickly came to the child, "Erya?"
The little girl was lowering her head, as if thinking about her own thoughts, and her feet moved forward in a circle with the people queuing up.
Suddenly she heard someone calling her name, and she raised her head suddenly, and a friendly and friendly smiling face appeared close by.
"Aunt Luo?" Erya's eyes showed ecstasy and she shouted out all at once.
Yang Ruoqing was also very happy. Unexpectedly, a month had passed and the child still remembered her and remembered her name.
"Erya, why are you here? Where are your parents?" Yang Ruoqing held Erya's shoulder with one hand, raised her head and looked around, but did not find Erya's mother, Mo.
Erya said weakly: "My mother didn't come, I ran out alone."
"What?" Yang Ruoqing was surprised, "Why did you run out alone?"
Taking a horse-drawn carriage from the county seat to the Guanyin Temple only takes a stick of incense, but if you walk there, it will take more than half an hour.
It would take even longer for a child like Erya to come here with her short legs. Why did this child come all the way here? She is still queuing up here to get steamed buns. Could something have happened to her family again?
Thinking of this, Yang Ruoqing took Erya out of the team and said, "Come here with Auntie. Auntie has something to ask you."
In the carriage carriage.
Luo Baobao and Feng'er looked left and right at Erya sitting in the middle.
Feng'er raised her chubby hand to support her chin, tilted her head and looked at Erya, her bright eyes full of surprise.
It seems to be saying that this young lady wastes energy on eating. She ate two big steamed buns in a short time, and now she is eating a third one.
As for Luo Baobao, she is four or five years older than Erya, and she seems to play the role of a sister.
Sitting next to Erya, he watched Erya eating the steamed buns with a friendly smile. Seeing Erya choking, Baby Luo handed over a bowl of sugar water.
"Sister Erya, eat slowly, don't choke, take a sip of sugar water." Luo Baobao said with a smile.
Erya raised her head and looked at the good-looking and arrogant young lady in front of her. Then she looked at the dirty things on her body. Erya felt a little inferior and didn't dare to accept it.
Luo Baobao smiled more approachably and put the bowl in Erya's hand: "This bun is a bit dry. You have to drink sugar water to moisten your throat, otherwise your stomach will feel uncomfortable."
Under Luo Baobao's friendly eyes, Erya slowly raised the bowl in his hand and took a big sip.
So sweet, so sweet sugar water...
The last time I drank such sweet sugar water was when I was in my hometown last year, before my father had any accident...
"Does it taste good, Sister Erya?" Luo Baobao asked again.
Erya nodded and said in a thin voice, "It tastes good, thank you sister."
Luo Baobao curled up the corners of his lips and smiled. This smile was like the white snow in spring, beautiful, bright and warm.
Feng'er pointed at Erya with her little fat finger and said in a sweet voice: "Sister Erya has a big stomach, little piggy..."
Erya's face turned red. She bit her lip and lowered her head. She was holding a steamed bun in her hand, which was torn by her dirty little fingers.
Seeing this, Baby Luo quickly came to the rescue with a smile: "Feng'er, Sister Erya is hungry. Eat more dishes when you are hungry. Only by eating can you grow taller."
Feng'er stood up, raised his hand and gestured to his head, "Feng'er also wants to be a big stomach king, and also wants to grow taller and stronger..."
Luo Baobao praised: "That's right. Then Feng'er should learn from Sister Erya, eat well, not be picky about food, and be a good child, okay?"
Feng'er nodded seriously: "Okay"
"What are you three little guys talking about? It seems that you are still chatting very enthusiastically!"
Yang Ruoqing's laughing voice came from outside the carriage curtain, and the carriage curtain was immediately lifted, and Yang Ruoqing also entered the carriage.
Seeing Yang Ruoqing come in, Feng'er immediately stretched out her hand: "Aunt, hug me!"
Yang Ruoqing held Feng'er in her arms and looked at Luo Baobao, Erya, and the bowl of sugar water.
Yang Ruoqing praised Luo Baobao and said, "Well, that's good. When Mom went to talk to Grandma Ga, you took good care of Erya and Feng'er. It's great!"
Luo Baobao raised the corners of his mouth happily.
When Erya saw Yang Ruoqing coming back, she relaxed and couldn't help but look at Luo Baobao and Feng'er curiously.
When Yang Ruoqing led Erya into the carriage, she introduced Luo Baobao and Feng'er to Erya.
So now, Yang Ruoqing said to the three of them: "Baby, take Feng'er back to your Ga Po and their carriage. Mom is going to take Erya back to the county town in advance to find Erya's parents. Wait for Mom to take Erya back to the county town."
Send her to her parents and she will come back immediately, okay?"
Luo Baobao nodded happily and quickly got out of the car. Before leaving, he even took Feng'er away.
In the carriage back to the county seat, Yang Ruoqing asked Erya about why she went to the Guanyin Temple to beg alone and why there was no adult around her.
Erya's little face drooped and she whispered: "My two uncles fell down while working and couldn't get up from the bed. My father and my uncle went out yesterday. When we came back, my father was also injured and his leg was broken."
Can’t get up.”
"My mother and my aunt were taking care of my father and uncle in the house. They couldn't afford medicine or money to buy rice or grain. My mother even cried secretly."
"I overheard the neighbor ladies talking and said that the Bodhisattva here at Guanyin Temple is the most efficacious. Many people come to offer incense, and there are many kind-hearted rich people who give food to the poor, so I came here secretly..."
After running here, I found that steamed buns were really being distributed here. I was so happy that I quickly followed the adults in line, waiting to receive the steamed buns and take them home to my father and uncle to eat. After they eat them, their injuries will heal...
Yang Ruoqing raised her hand and gently rubbed Erya's disheveled head, feeling sorry for her but also a little confused about what happened to her family.
She remembered that she had given Mr. Mo a few taels of silver before she left last time. The scraps of silver allowed her family to rent a bungalow to live in after the inn in the county town opened on the sixth day of the first lunar month.
The remaining money can be used for food rations, and can also support Erya's father to recover and find work in the fields.
Now after hearing Erya's words, her father and two uncles should have gone out to find work, but something unexpected happened again.
Nowadays, the family is so sick and injured that there are almost no men who can stand properly, and the women are busy taking care of the fallen men and the babies waiting to be fed, so Erya sneaks out without anyone around.
It's not surprising that people know it.
"Erya, if you do this again, you can't run out alone." Yang Ruoqing warned Erya.
