A good time for farming through the ages

Chapter 105 [105] Tao Yi who fled famine
On a foggy day, A Niang woke up early in the morning and was about to clean the yard and the gate with a broom, but found a boy in rags, about ten years old, fainted in front of her house. He was very thin and thin, and his body was still hot. My mother was so frightened that she hurriedly carried him into the house of her brothers, and then asked her to get up to find the village doctor.

It wasn't until Zhuo Lin woke up that although they had a bumper harvest this year, many farmlands were submerged in the neighboring Hubei province due to floods in summer. It was winter and the weather was cold, and many victims of the disaster were unable to survive. Go down, run out, Xinshi is close to the north of Hubei, so not only their house, but also several households in their village, there are victims passing by.

The village doctor came to check and sighed: "It's freezing cold, and he's hungry and malnourished. Let's feed him some good food!"

Then I talked about several kinds of herbs, including honeysuckle, plantain, dandelion and other herbs, which happened to be available at their house, and if they were not available, they went to the village doctor's house to get them, and finally made some medicines for the children to boil and drink.

The brothers still have to go to school, so naturally they can't take care of this boy. It just so happens that the busy season is over at this time, so Auntie scrubbed him clean first, gave him medicine, and when he woke up, he fed him some stomach-warming porridge After gnawing sweet potatoes, I learned that he was an orphan. The whole family died because of a landslide. He was saved from death because he went to school in the town, but few survived in the whole village. Almost all members of his family The army was wiped out.

A Niang's sympathy flooded in an instant, the orphan is still so thin, even when he knelt down and begged A Niang to adopt him, saying that he can work, as long as he stutters, he couldn't help crying.

When Zhuo Lin rubbed her eyes and yawned, A Niang was still comforting the boy, she hurriedly said when she saw her.

"Come on, Linlin, this is Tao Yi. He will live in our house for the time being. He is as old as your fourth brother. From now on, you will also be called brother."

Then he turned his head and introduced to Tao Yi: "This is my daughter, she is five years old, and her name is Zhuo Lin,"

This is the first time that Zhuo Lin saw Tao Yi. Tao Yi is not as tall as his fourth brother, nor as strong as his fourth brother. He looks a little thin and thin. Healthy, and after her vine diagnosis, he is now in a state of starvation and malnutrition, no wonder he looks so weak.

Tao Yi greeted 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, so she found a lot of willow branches and soaked them in water in advance. Sometimes, when you bite open a willow branch with your teeth, the fibers inside will branch out, like a small wooden tooth comb. One way to protect your teeth, because it is too uncomfortable to brush your teeth.

As for the cleaning agent, she usually smashes the salt, smears a little on the toothbrush, and brushes it to make do with it. This method is now being followed by the entire Zhuo family. It costs fifty cents, how much will it cost with so many people in their family!

Although Zhuo Lin thinks it's worth it no matter how expensive it is, but given that people in this era don't have the awareness of protection in this area, how can she be too serious about this as a child?I can only choose willow branches on my own.
