Chapter 28 Gap
The two siblings hid at the edge of the field to avoid the sun, but suddenly a large shadow fell over their heads. Song Huilan had thrown away her hoe at some point and was now staring at them with a haggard look on her face.
The upper and lower lips touched each other, and the intention was obvious.
"Goudan, is there any water in your jar? Give some to Auntie!" A pair of crooked phoenix eyes stared at the pottery jar placed at the feet of the two siblings.
"There's no bowl."
"What's the use of that troublesome thing!" Song Huilan was obviously anxious. She immediately reached out and raised the clay pot, and started to drink from the mouth of the pot.
After drinking for a while, he finally felt satisfied. He shook the can and said with a look of regret, "It's gone..."
"Little sister, bring more water next time you come. Look at what you've got. It's not even enough to drink!"
“…”
Qin Qing's face was filled with black lines. Originally, she had only brought the strength of her own family. The pottery jar was too heavy, and her ability was also limited.
At least they are much better than those two guys from my uncle's family.
Song Huilan patted her butt and left.
Qin Qing was scorched by the sun, so he snatched the empty pottery jar from his elder brother's hand, put it in the basket, and prepared to go home.
Goudan grabbed the edge of the basket.
"Sister, this is heavy. I'll carry it later..." Due to the scorching heat in recent days, the team leader was afraid that something might happen while working under the scorching sun, so he let everyone go out to work at their leisure in the afternoon, so Qin Qing didn't have to bring them food anymore.
You can basically eat it at home.
"Okay~" She was still happy to be free.
The way out is much easier than the way here.
Whenever she met someone, she would greet them with a smile, not shy at all.
Invisibly, he gained a lot of goodwill.
When she got home, she went straight to the kitchen and pulled open the bag of sorghum flour under the stone slab. She saw that there was only a thin layer of flour inside, which could not even cover her face. She lifted the bag and carefully poured every grain of sorghum into the gourd ladle.
It's about two or three handfuls.
There was a lot of rice in her little nest, but there was not a single grain of rice in the house, and taking it out would arouse suspicion.
Qin Qing sighed and scooped out half a bowl of rice bran from the large jar.
This thing is cheap. A big bag costs less than one dollar. It can fill the stomach, but it makes the throat choke. When they were young, they used it to feed chickens and ducks.
The pot was full of water, and adding this little bit was not enough. Qin Qing picked the fresh and tender weeds from the basket on his back, chopped them up, and cooked them together.
The salt jar at home had been empty for a long time, and even this kid needed a ticket to buy salt. Usually, Zhu Lihua only added a little bit when cooking, but she couldn't resist adding it every meal, so it was soon empty.
Times are tough, and I always have to find a way to move things out of the apartment.
…
Zhu Lihua was walking on the road carrying the clay pot. The two brothers Goudan had already run away. She just took a sip of it, and they started to think about the mint in the barefoot doctor's nursery. They hadn't had enough of it yet.
It was noon and there were not many people on the road. Zhang Ying, who was walking towards them, attracted quite a lot of attention. At this time when everyone was short of food, she was actually carrying a bag of bright red wild prawns.
"My patriotic wife, I just came from town!"
The two met each other and Zhu Lihua was the first to greet him.
A smile appeared on Zhang Ying's thin face. She was too embarrassed to swallow the sour taste in her mouth, so she quickly grabbed two from the bag and handed them to Zhu Lihua.
