Chapter 129 New Clothes

Ten minutes later, Li Wen carried his things and arrived at the place where Er Yatou's family lived.

This is a large courtyard, in which not only Erya's family, but also three other households live in this courtyard.

The door was open, and Li Wen walked directly in. At this time, Erya and a seven or eight-year-old girl were picking wild vegetables in the yard.

Where did the wild vegetables come from in the city? Of course they were dug from the wild fields and wheat fields outside the city.

Spring is here, and everything is coming back to life. Wild vegetables are growing on the roadside, in the wheat fields, and even on some trees.

Many wild vegetables and weeds, such as shepherd's purse, purslane, ash green, elm money, toona sinensis, etc., are picked by people and taken home to eat or exchanged for daily necessities.

During this season, not only rural children dig wild vegetables, but also many children in the county go out in groups every morning carrying baskets and sacks to dig wild vegetables outside the city.

Life in Erya's family is very difficult, and wild vegetables are also an important part of their family's life.

"Where are Erya and sister picking wild vegetables?" Li Wen walked over and asked with a smile.

Erya and his eldest sister were happily picking wild vegetables and chatting about how to eat them for lunch. Hearing someone calling him, he raised his head blankly.

"Wow! Big brother, you are here!"

Erya found out that it was Li Wen calling her, and jumped up in surprise, and hurriedly ran over and hugged Li Wen's thigh.

"Brother, are you here to eat big buns for me today?" Erya only clearly remembered the big buns in her simple consciousness.

Without waiting for Li Wen to speak, the little girl continued talking.

"Brother, you don't know. Yesterday, my sister and I were sitting on the threshold licking toffee. Tiedan and the others were chasing after me. They all wanted to taste my toffee, but I wouldn't give it to them. I was so envious of them.

"

"Hmph! It's a pity that my mother gave Tiedan and the others a toffee in the end. I was really pissed off." Erya said with an angry expression on her face.

"You have good things to share with the children, otherwise what will you do if they beat you?" Li Wen touched the little girl's head and said with a smile.

"I'm not afraid! I bit into the egg in one big bite and cried for mother." The little girl gestured with her mouth wide open.

"Don't you dare bite your brother's leg!" Li Wen looked at the little girl's little tiger teeth and said with a smile.

"That's not possible, I won't bite big brother. You are a good person, Tiedan and the others are bad guys." The little girl giggled.

"You little girl, my brother is here to give you new clothes today. Can you wait a few days to eat the big buns?" Li Wen said looking at Erya's innocent smile.

"Wow! New clothes. Are you going to give me new clothes?" the little girl said with her mouth wide open in shock.

"Yeah!" Li Wen smiled and nodded.

"Sister, big brother is going to give me new clothes!" the little girl quickly walked up to the older girl and said excitedly.

"Erya, is this your sister?" Li Wen looked at the shy little girl and asked with a smile.

"Sister, call big brother quickly and I'll ask him to give you new clothes." Erya, the clever ghost, secretly tugged at the corner of her sister's clothes and whispered.

"Yes, call me big brother, and I will give you new clothes too!" Li Wen looked at the shy little girl and said with a smile.

"Hello, big brother!"

Erya's sister looks very shy, maybe because she is already sensible, but she has a bit of inferiority complex when she speaks, and her voice is as low as a mosquito.

"Tiedan, don't come over, my elder brother won't give you new clothes! Go aside quickly." At this time, Erya on the side noticed a few children secretly watching Li Wen from a distance, and jumped out hurriedly, holding up his hands

He put his hands on his hips and said vigorously.

"Ha ha!"

Li Wen was instantly happy, this little girl was just like a little chicken protecting food.

"Who is Erya talking to outside? Did he have a fight with Tiedan and the others again?" Erya's mother's voice came from the room.

"Mom, the brother who delivered the big buns yesterday is here again." When Erya heard her mother's voice, her face changed and she immediately shouted towards the room.

"Ah! Xiaowen is here? Then call your elder brother into the house quickly." Erya's mother heard Li Wen's arrival and walked out quickly.

"Xiaowen, you're here!" Erya's mother, still holding the paste in her hand, looked at Li Wen and greeted her hurriedly.

"Auntie, I came in a hurry yesterday, so I came here specifically to see you today." Li Wen said hello with a smile.

"Xiao Wen, please come in and sit down quickly. Xiao Min, please go to Uncle Da Niu's house next door to pour some hot water for you, Xiao Min." Erya's mother looked at her eldest daughter at the door and said.

"Aunt, no, why are you letting your children bother the neighbors?" Li Wen hurriedly tried to dissuade her.

"Xiaowen, please don't drag Xiaomin, let her go. You have come to my aunt's house twice and I don't even give you a drink of water. What kind of person have I become?" Erya's mother said hurriedly.

Li Wen sat down after hearing this. Excessive refusal will only make people feel angry.

"Auntie came in a hurry yesterday and didn't bring anything for Erya and the others. Yesterday I saw that Erya and Sanya's clothes were in tatters."

"I brought some cloth here today. Then you can make clothes for the children. Use the torn clothes to make shoes for the children." Li Wen took out the folded cloth from the basket at his feet and handed it to them.

Erya's mother said.

"Xiao Wen, my aunt, how can I thank you for this?" Erya's mother took the cloth from Li Wen's hand, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

"Thank you, I recognize Erya as my sister. These are what I, as a brother, should do. Auntie, just accept it with peace of mind."

"There are some cornmeal and potatoes here. You can eat them first, and I will bring them to you later." Li Wen said with a smile.

"Brother, drink water!" Because the boiling water was too hot, the two little guys carried it back by holding the edge of the water glass.

"Slow down and be careful! It's hot!" Li Wen quickly took the water glass from the hands of the two little girls.

"Thank you quickly, Brother Xiaowen. Look, this is the floral cloth he brought. Mom will make new clothes for you when the time comes." Erya's mother patted the cloth in her hand and said to her two daughters with a smile.

"Thank you, big brother!"

The two little girls' eyes instantly lit up when they looked at the calico in their mother's hands, and they hurried over to touch it.

"That's great. I have new clothes to wear too." Erya jumped up and down in the room happily.

"Keep your voice down, don't wake up your sister. Be careful, I'll spank you." Looking at the excited Erya, Erya's mother scolded softly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Sanya, who was sleeping on the kang, was woken up and started to cry.

Erya's mother quickly ran over and picked up the little girl. Li Wen saw that Sanya was wearing a tattered gown on her upper body, but her lower body was actually bare buttocks.

"Auntie, Sanya doesn't have any clothes to wear? Why is her butt naked? It's easy for the child to catch a cold." Li Wen asked.

"Oh! I'm not afraid of your jokes. When I was giving birth to Da Ya and Er Ya, the baby's father was still there, and life was pretty good, and the children also had clothes to wear."

"Your uncle left when I was pregnant with Sanya. After Sanya was born, my mother-in-law saw that she was a girl, so she kicked us out."

"Sanya is three years old, and she has never had any clothes to wear. The gown she was wearing was given to her by the neighbor next door." Erya's mother said, her eyes turning red.

"After I leave, you can make clothes for the children. I bought more fabrics. Then you can make one for yourself too."

"I can't see your clothes anymore. They are all patched one after another, and the blue fabric has turned white after washing." Li Wen comforted softly.

"I see that Sanya's face is turning yellow. Today she specially brought a bottle of honey. It's a good thing. Give your child a little to drink every day."

Li Wen looked at Sanya, who had a sallow complexion and was about the same age as a one-year-old child in later generations. He hurriedly took out a bottle of honey from the space and took it out under the cover of rummaging through the basket on his back.
