Chapter 442： word change 2

Seeing how pitiful the child was, Zhao Xiulan sighed and comforted, "Okay, I'll take your paintings and calligraphy. I'll give you 20 catties of rice and 20 catties of white noodles. What do you think?"

When the little boy heard that Zhao Xiulan wanted to give so much food, he was stunned for a while.

He originally only thought about giving Zhao Xiulan a few catties of grain, even coarse grains, but he didn't expect Zhao Xiulan to give so much fine grains all at once.

"Sister, are you really willing to give so much?"

"Why do you think it's too little? Your paintings and calligraphy are of average quality, and I can only produce so much food, otherwise you can find someone else to exchange it!"

The little boy hurriedly shook his head, "No no no, sister, enough is enough, there are already a lot of them, you can take all these paintings and calligraphy!"

"Well, I don't think you can handle the food alone, so let's take me to your house, and I'll help you deliver the food there!"

"good!"

The little boy nodded heavily, "Okay, thank you sister!"

The little boy led the way and took Zhao Xiulan home.

On the way, Zhao Xiulan also inquired about the little boy's family situation.

His name is Chu Xiaobao, he is nine years old this year, his parents died, and now he lives with his grandmother.

Originally, Chu Xiaobao's parents were soldiers, and they died while performing the mission. Every year, they will give some subsidies to their grandparents and grandchildren.

Therefore, Chu Xiaobao and his grandmother can barely survive.

But in the past two years, several shameless cousins ​​in the family came to **** them, and the subsidies that Chu Xiaobao and grandma received were all searched and taken away by several cousins.

As a result, Chu Xiaobao and grandma's life suddenly became very difficult.

Especially this year, there is not enough food to eat, and a few cousins ​​have been looting so much that they can't get anything to eat anymore.

Grandma is still sick, lying at home, in very serious condition.

Grandma has been secretly hiding some paintings and calligraphy that she had collected in the past. Now that it was a matter of life and death, Chu Xiaobao thought about taking the paintings and calligraphy out to the black market to see if he could exchange some food with others, and happened to meet Zhao Xiulan.

After listening to Chu Xiaobao's words, Zhao Xiulan began to sympathize with the child.

He patted Chu Xiaobao on the shoulder and comforted him, "Good boy, your grandma will be fine, and life will get better slowly!"

Chu Xiaobao rubbed his red eyes and nodded.

He hopes that as Zhao Xiulan said, grandma will be fine and life will be better!

After all, his parents were gone, and he was the only one left to live with his grandmother.

If he didn't even have his grandmother, he would be an orphan!

Chu Xiaobao took Zhao Xiulan back home.

His house looked pretty good from the outside, with two tile-roofed houses and red bricks. It seemed that the condition of the house was pretty good before.

But when I entered the house, it was empty, with nothing but a bed and a shabby table.

According to what Chu Xiaobao said, all the good things in the house were raided by a few cousins, which made the house become savage.

Chu Xiaobao returned home, ran to the bed quickly, and shouted to Grandma Chu, "Grandma, grandma, I've changed to food!"

Only then did Zhao Xiulan notice that there was an old grandmother lying on the bed, wearing clothes with countless patches, gray hair and old folds on her face.

Chu Xiaobao shouted a few times, but didn't hear Grandma Chu's response, and suddenly called out very anxiously, "Grandma! Grandma! What's wrong with you? Wake up, don't scare Xiaobao!

Xiaobao came back with the food, wake up quickly, I will cook it for you! "
