Hedreamt his DaboMu took away all the food in the house. He dreamt he was sick,but there was no money to seek treatment. He dreamt the village bully beat himto death. He was scared awake each time. He saw his jiejie and then he couldsleep again.
But tonight, his troubles were no longer there. Forthe first time, he slept well into morning. His body was very comfortable. Hisbad energies were swept away, leaving behind a crisp and refreshing feeling.
The smell of congee was already wafting in from thekitchen. He walked quickly out of the house and saw that jiejie had alreadyfinished cooking congee. It was the same, thick congee as last night and notthe normal thin gruel they had every day.
"Jie, we don\'t have much food left. Why did you cooksuch a thick congee?" Although he loved eating this congee, but he couldn\'t befull today and starve tomorrow right?
YuanQiu brought the finished congee and vegetablesinto the room. She didn\'t turn her head to reply, "Silly boy. If we don\'t eat,where do we get the energy to go up the mountain?"
"But - " YuanHao was going to keep speaking, butYuanQiu pulled him to sit at the table. She smiled, "Don\'t worry. From now on,jiejije won\'t let you be hungry again. We also have to live in a good house.And next springtime, you have to go to school. Don\'t worry about food or money,okay?"
YuanHao looked at his jiejie\'s firm eyes and the tip of his nose ached. His eyes were misty. He firmly pressed his lips together. "I don\'t want to go to school. What\'s so good about school? It\'s a waste of money and not as good as working in the fields."
