Chapter 105 [105] Tao Yi who escaped from the famine

On a foggy day, when Ah Niang got up early in the morning and was preparing to clean the yard and the gate with a broom, she found that a boy in rags fainted in front of her house. The child was about ten years old and had a pretty face. He was very thin and his body was still hot. He was so scared that his mother quickly carried the person into her brother's house, and then asked her brother to get up to find a village doctor.

When Zhuo Lin woke up, he realized that although they had a bumper harvest this year, the neighboring northern Hubei Province had flooded a lot of farmland due to heavy floods in summer. It was winter and the weather was cold, and many victims ran out because they couldn't survive. Xinshi is the northern Henan Province, which is close to northern Hubei, so it is not only their family, but also the victims pass by at the doors of several households in their village.

The village doctor came over to check and sighed: "It's freezing and it's too hungry to be malnourished. So give him some good food to replenish it!"

Then I talked about several herbs, including honeysuckle, plantain, dandelion and other herbs. They happened to have them at home. If they didn’t have one, they went to the village doctor’s house to get them. Finally, I gave them a few pairs of medicines for the child to boil them.

The brothers still had to go to school, so naturally they couldn't take care of the boy. It happened that the farming season was over, so my mother first cleaned him and fed him medicine. When he woke up, she fed him some stomach-warming porridge. After eating sweet potatoes, she learned that this was an orphan. The whole family died because of the landslide in the mountain fields. He was spared from death because of school in the town, but few survived the entire village, and almost all the people in their family were wiped out.

Ah Mother's sympathy instantly spread. She was an orphan, so thin. When he knelt down and begged her to adopt her, he said that he could do work and could not help crying as long as he stuttered.

When Zhuo Lin rubbed her eyes and yawned, Ah Niang was still comforting the boy. When she saw her, she quickly said.

"Lai Linlin, this is Tao Yi. He will live in our house for the time being. He is as old as your fourth brother. You will also call him brother in the future."

Then he turned to Tao Yi and introduced it: "This is my daughter, five years old this year, and her name is Zhuo Lin,"

This was the first time Zhuo Lin saw Tao Yi. Tao Yi was not as tall as the fourth brother, nor was it as strong as the fourth brother. He looked a little thin. Although his face was quite energetic, his skin was a little white and a little cunning. He looked not very healthy at first glance. After her vines were diagnosed, he was in a hungry and malnourished state. No wonder he looked so weak.

Tao Yi said hello to Zhuo Lin very friendly. Out of politeness, Zhuo Lin called Brother Tao Yi and went out to wash her face. She also brushed her teeth and found a lot of willow branches and soaked them in water in advance. When using it, use them, use your teeth to bite open the willow branches, and the fibers inside will be branched out, like a tiny wooden comb. This is how the old saying "Morning Chewing Wood" comes from, and she also thought of using this method to protect her teeth for the time being, because it is really uncomfortable to not brush her teeth.

As for the cleaner, she usually smashes the salt, applies a little on the toothbrush, and brushes it just by doing it. Now the whole Zhuo family is following this method. There is no way. Who makes the toothpaste and toothbrush from the supply and marketing cooperative so expensive? It costs 50 cents a set. How much does it cost to have so many people in their family?
