    Walking into Yang Shaowen's house, a pretty girl about 14 or 15 years old came over to greet Liu Hu. She was Yang Shaowen's sister Yang Yuhua.  "Brother Huzi, you are here!" Yang Yuhua is fifteen years old and is the eldest of Yang Shaowen's younger siblings.  Nowadays, the family is experiencing bad luck, and she, a young girl, is in charge of all matters in the family.  "Yuhua, how has Shao Wen been doing these past few days since I left?" "It's still the same! I can drink the medicinal soup, and I can barely feed him a bowl of gruel every day, but he just can't wake up. That's it.  I've been sleeping!" The sadness on Yang Yuhua's young and tender face was clear, and she was about to cry: "Brother Huzi, tell me, is my brother also going to accompany his parents?" Yang Yuhua sobbed.  : "If he goes to accompany his parents now, they will definitely not be happy. My parents still hope that he can become a Jinshi and shine on the Yang family. Wuwuwu~~" She cried, accompanied by the people beside her.  The five-year-old Yang Yuxiang, the youngest of the Yang family who was in a daze, also cried together: "Sister, be good, sister, don't cry!" Liu Hu patted her on the back and comforted: "If everything remains as usual, that's good news, it means things are going well.  It's not getting worse. As for Shao Wen sleeping all the time, it's not a big problem. Shao Wen used to be too sleepy and stayed in bed. This is a habit he has. Just think of him as sleeping in a large size.  He always wakes up when he¡¯s lazy, hahaha!¡± He told a lame joke, which at least relieved the depressing atmosphere in the room.  Seeing that there were only two sisters, Yang Yuhua and Yang Yuxiang, at home, Liu Hu asked: "Where are Shao Ming and Shao Kuan?" Yang Yuhua replied: "There is a wasteland in the back hill outside the village. They are weeding and preparing the land together. It is getting late now, and they should be back soon.  Let¡¯s go!¡± Go to open up wasteland and farm?  Liu Hu felt a little distressed.  Although rural children have long been in charge of the family, Yang Shaoming and Yang Shaokuan, who are ten and nine years old, are really reluctant to do such heavy work as opening up wasteland.  Even as strong as Liu Hu himself, he only started doing heavy work in the fields when he was thirteen or fourteen years old.  After gathering his thoughts, Liu Hu put down the small bag of rice he was holding and said to Yang Yuhua: "Yuhua, your brother Huzi brought you some rice. You can cook a few meals for your brothers and sisters."  Yang Yuhua was a little embarrassed: "Brother Huzi, isn't this good? You have brought us food several times. You and Uncle Liu usually have to carry boats to transport goods and go to the fields to farm, so your life is difficult. Besides,  Brother Huzi has reached the age of starting a family. It¡¯s time for Uncle Liu to prepare money for you to marry a wife. You can¡¯t always give away your own food!¡± Liu Hu couldn¡¯t help laughing and flicked her head: ¡°  Yuhua, you are just a little girl yourself, but you have become your brother Hu Zi¡¯s housekeeper and mother-in-law.¡± He ignored Yang Yuhua¡¯s refusal, carried the rice bag, walked straight to the right corner where the rice vat was placed, and poured the rice.  Got in.  In order to make Yang Yuhua feel at ease, he pretended to be heroic and explained: "Don't worry, your Brother Huzi has just found a job as a kicker in Lamma Town. Brother Huzi's life will only become more and more spacious in the future. Where can you still find it?"  Will you care about this little rice?" Yang Yuxiang followed Liu Hu to the rice vat, looking at the white rice, her eyes were bright and full of joy.  Liu Hu looked at her cute appearance and was not amused. He turned around and pinched Yang Yuxiang's pouty face: "Look, Xiangxiang must have been hungry these days. She has lost a lot of weight and is not as beautiful as before.  "Yuhua, you must let Xiangxiang eat a full bowl of rice at night!" Yang Yuxiang immediately smiled, which was quite funny when paired with her tear-stained face.  "Brother Tiger is the best to Xiangxiang! Xiangxiang must raise herself beautifully so that she can marry Brother Tiger in the future!" Yang Yuhua was not happy after hearing this and couldn't help scolding: "You little hooves, you don't have any  You are so ashamed, you can say anything crazy when you see something to eat!" Liu Hu stopped paying attention to the crying and laughing sisters and walked into the inner room alone.  This inner room was originally the room of the parents of the Yang brothers and sisters. At this time, Yang Shaowen was lying quietly on the big bed.  The bedding on the bed was a bit old, with two or three washbasin-sized patches sewn on it, but it looked quite neat. It must have been changed and washed frequently, and the quilt surface had been washed a little white.  In the past two or three years, the parents of the Yang siblings and Yang Shaowen became seriously ill successively, and the whole room was filled with a strong smell of medicine.  Liu Hu didn't like the smell very much. He thought it was a musty smell that brought bad luck to the Yang family and was not very auspicious.  At this time, Yang Shaowen had a towel on his head, his eyes were closed tightly, his lips were slightly closed, and he looked at a very delicate face.  His complexion is very fair, it should be said that he is pale as a result of being in bed for a long time, and there is no trace of blood.  Liu Hu sniffed among the others with his tentacles, and his breathing was steady and strong, which made him feel relieved. It seemed that YangShao Wen was really just sleeping, having another long, long dream.  Thinking of this, Liu Hu felt a little angry.  He sat on the bedside and muttered to himself to Yang Shaowen: "Shaowen, you're almost done. Do you really plan to sleep like this forever and ignore your younger brothers and sisters?" "Needless to say, Yuhua  It's not easy these days to take care of you and your younger brothers and sisters, as well as spinning and weaving to maintain the family's livelihood. Shao Ming and Shao Kuan are also very sensible. They learned to work in the fields when they were just a little bit old.  Xiangxiang is only five years old. She often eats bran vegetables, but she has never cried. " "You are willing to abandon such cute and sensible brothers and sisters? " "Speaking of which, your family has been really good in recent years.  It's unfortunate. Uncle Yang and Aunt Li (Yang Shaowen's mother) died of illness one after another, and your imperial examination was not going well. The family has no land, and it is very difficult to make a living. But you can't commit suicide by jumping into the river because of this difficulty!  Men, you have to be responsible. If you can't do it in the imperial examination, you can do something else. If you can't, there are many brothers and friends in our village who will help you. It's a coward's behavior to seek suicide! " "I think you are shameless!  Bo, I can¡¯t bear to be angry and I don¡¯t like asking for help. What¡¯s the point? Look at me, I¡¯ve been teased and scolded a lot since I was a child. I never care about what others think. We only live for ourselves.¡±  , Brother, I¡¯m fucking scolding you, but you¡¯re scolding me back. You weren¡¯t the most talkative before, why are you so humble like me now?¡± ¡°You¡¯re so stubborn now?¡±  Who are you showing this to" Liu Hu cursed for a while, but Yang Shaowen still made no move. He shook his head and went back without any interest.  When the night was completely dark, two brothers, Yang Shaoming and Yang Shaokuan, returned from farm work carrying two hoes that were longer than their bodies.
