NOVEL NEXT Chapter 11
"Stampede, stomp..."
Footsteps rang out from outside the door.
When you heard the commotion, you hurriedly opened the door.
As the door opened, the cold wind blew, making the girl shiver, and her whole body trembled slightly, but You Douzi still looked outside.
Not far away, a teenager with a scar on his left forehead struggled to drag a large tree with a severed branch.
The boy is not very old, wears a helmet earring, a coat with a Ichimatsu pattern, has dark red hair, and red eyes.
"Brother..."
Seeing the young man, You Douzi shouted happily.
The young man raised his head and looked at his sister standing at the door, and a smile appeared on his face: "Hurry up and close the door, the wind will go in, it will be cold, I will chop these woods into dry wood and go in." "
"Uh-huh."
You Douzi nodded heavily, closed the door, and also lifted the kettle, picked up the cup, and poured a cup of hot water into the cup.
Soon, the young man who had chopped the wood walked into the room, looked at the hot water cup on the table, and understood that it was his sister who poured it for himself, and looked to the side again, You Douzi was taking care of the younger siblings, so that the younger siblings were not noisy, but very quiet and obedient.
The boy picked up the cup with some trembling, he had just done too much work, which made his hands tremble a little, but as long as he rested a little, his body would be much better.
Life at home is not easy at the moment, since the death of my father, the entire Zaomen family is like a small sailboat floating in the sea in a storm, which will be overturned by huge wind and waves at any time.
It was the mother who stood up and used her weak arms to hold up the Zaomen family with difficulty.
At present, the family is very embarrassed, life is very difficult, and life is not easy.
But Tanjiro believes that as he grows up, life will not remain the same forever, and the family will not always be like the current cold weather, and there will always be a day when the sky will be clear.
It's just that now he's still too young and can do too little, and whenever he watches his mother work hard for the family, Tanjiro can't wait for him to grow up faster.
"Hasn't Mother come back yet?"
After drinking a cup of hot water, he felt that his frozen body outside was a little warmer, and Tanjiro also looked up, with worry in his eyes.
Early in the morning, my mother went out to the town to sell charcoal, and the road from here to the town was not easy, especially when the snow was falling.
"Haven't come back yet."
You Douzi whispered, her immature face full of worry.
"Don't worry, Mother will be back soon."
Tanjiro smiled and comforted his sister, but there was some worry in his eyes.
"Moo... Moo..."
Outside the door, there was a cow cry.
Hearing the voice, whether it was Tanjiro, You Bean, or the younger siblings, they all jumped in surprise.
Tanjiro even opened the door directly, and Youdouko and the younger siblings almost poured out.
The cold wind was blowing, and your beans and their younger siblings were trembling slightly, but they didn't return to the warm hut, but stood on their toes and looked out at the path.
Soon, on the path deep in the mountains, an ox cart was walking hard in the wind and snow, and at the wheel of the cart, a woman was sitting, driving the ox cart.
"It's Mother, Mother is back."
"Mommy is back..."
Your beans, Hanako, and Takeo all cheered and jumped up to meet them.
..................
The ox cart soon stopped, and You Douzi and a few children threw themselves into the arms of the sunflower branch of the stove like a milk swallow returning to the nest.
Tanjiro did not rush into his mother's arms like his younger siblings, as the eldest son in the family, he was already sensible, and he would not be spoiled to his mother like a child.
"Your beans, Hanako, Takeo... Tanjiro".
Aoi Ae touched the children's minds, and her slightly tired faces were full of smiles.
Losing her husband and having no support, it is very difficult to take care of your children alone, but watching her children grow up healthily and feeling her children's dependence on herself, I feel that it is worth it no matter how much I suffer.
The cold wind blew the woman's jet-black hair, and Aoi Kamado reached out to pull the loose strands of hair from her forehead behind her ears, and then, from her pocket, pulled out the things she had purchased from the town
"Wow, it's Matsuo rice cakes, and sesame eggs..."
Takeo and Hanako couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.
"You're going to give you this."
Aoi Eda handed a small bag to the eldest daughter, who was the most sensible.
You Douzi took it with some joy and opened the small bag.
The shiny pineapple in the shape of a star came into view, making the girl's beautiful eyes blink like beautiful stars.
"It's Jinping sugar..."
You beans opened their mouths with some surprise.
For Youdouzi, this is her favorite food.
"I also bought some toon buds, and I'll make them for you later."
Aoi Eda Kamado said to Tanjiro, who came over to help with the morning glory.
Tanjiro couldn't help but raise his head, toon sprouts were his favorite food, a wild vegetable that was not easy to pick.
"Okay."
Tanjiro nodded, looking at his younger siblings who were immersed in joy, and at his younger siblings who were happy because of the gifts brought back by his mother, but he lowered his head slightly.
Such a thing should cost a lot, the life of the Zaomon family is already in dire straits, and his mother still buys so many things for him and his younger siblings, I don't know what kind of effort I have to put in, but my mother has never told them about it.
Thinking of his mother's hard work, Tanjiro lowered his head slightly, feeling as if his throat was blocked, and he tightened for a while.
Kamado Aoi didn't know what her son Tanjiro was thinking, but at the moment, she was in a very good mood, and this time she went into the town to sell charcoal, not only sold all the charcoal, but also found a job
Moreover, the employer is a good man.
