Chapter 3 The Supernatural Power of the Time Traveler
It was completely dark.
The chickens and dogs kept barking.
Jiang Mianmian was lying uncomfortably in her mother's arms, and her throat was sore.
Except for her sore throat, the whole house looked comfortable.
There was a feeling of peace and quiet.
Her mother held her in one hand and chopped wood with the other, "clang, clang, clang."
Her father was cooking on the stove, cutting unknown leaves, "wipe, wipe, wipe."
Her brother was carefully sharpening the tip of the wood with a knife, "swish, swish, swish."
Her sister was washing clothes, hammering clothes against the wood, "bang, bang, bang."
The pheasant was swimming in the hot water in the pot, "gurgle, gurgle."
Jiang Mianmian yawned. She
was sleepy again.
She couldn't help but close her eyelids.
Then she felt herself being put down by her mother.
She knew it was a wooden basin. It was
a wooden basin brand crib, she watched her mother make it, with a pile of unknown dry grass underneath and several layers of repeatedly starched rags on top. She resisted at first, but lying down seemed to be comfortable without any discomfort.
When her mother put her down, she woke up, her eyelids opened, but she didn't cry. She
was very obedient.
She also did some stretching on her own.
She tried to grab her feet to her mouth with her hands...
Then she felt the wooden basin being moved, and then she saw the sky.
Her sister brought the wooden basin to her side.
"Mother, I'll wash clothes and take care of my sister at the same time, you go lie down for a while."
Jiang Mianmian thought that her sister was also very strong and held the basin very steadily, and she didn't feel any shaking.
Then she looked at the sky happily.
There were many stars twinkling in the sky, really many, and there was a rare breeze, which made her feel a little more comfortable. At this time, her elder sister stood up and covered her with a piece of clothing? ? ?
Jiang Mianmian wanted to protest, but she couldn't open the clothing no matter how she twisted.
Instead, her elder sister looked at her and giggled.
Jiang Mianmian looked at her sister who was laughing. When she laughed, her eyes looked a bit like her handsome father, with curved eyebrows and eyes, which was quite beautiful.
Then she looked at the stars while holding up the clothes, and then fell asleep again.
When she opened her eyes again, it was time for dinner.
The family gathered together to eat, and there was no rule of not talking while eating or sleeping.
There was a big bowl of pheasant and wild vegetable soup on the table today?
It looked green and smelled quite fragrant.
Mother shared the food, each with a big bowl. She passed the chicken drumstick to father: "You still have to go to work and do heavy work, you should eat more."
Brother Jiang Feng passed the chicken breast from his bowl to mother: "Mom, you should eat more, you see how dark and skinny your sister is."
Dark and skinny little Mianmian?
Then sister passed the chicken neck from her bowl to brother: "Brother, you eat it. I ate something in the kitchen of Landlord Liu today, so I'm not hungry."
Finally, father passed the chicken feet from the bowl to sister: "You like to chew this, here you go."
Little Mianmian could only drink milk and watch the chicken go around in the bowls of the family. If she hadn't heard those words before, she really felt that this was a simple and friendly family.
The family ate very politely, chewing slowly... chewing the pheasant bones carefully and swallowing them slowly.
After the meal, the family shared the cakes that the elder sister brought back.
Jiang Mianmian looked at them eagerly, not wanting to eat them directly. She hoped that tonight's milk would taste like osmanthus cake.
After the adults finished eating, it was her turn. She tried hard to suck milk with a red face. Maybe it was because the mother ate chicken, so the milk seemed to be a little more tonight, or it could be an illusion.
Just when Jiang Mianmian sucked hard and felt that she had sucked it all out, there was a knock on the door.
The family immediately wiped out the body, and seeing that there was no trace, the brother went out to open the door. The person
who came in was an old woman wearing gauze. There were a lot of things smeared on her face, which was very scary.
Jiang Mianmian thought that although the family she was reborn into looked very poor, it was at least pleasing to the eye. If she was reborn into this woman's family...
"What wind brought Sixth Auntie here? Come in and sit down."
A Niang called out enthusiastically.
The woman sat down familiarly, took a critical look at the child in Qin's arms, and then looked up and down at Jiang Yu several times, and said:
"Sister Yu is really pretty, with a round and white face. This is not a good thing. I will definitely go to my family. Master Wu from the capital is recruiting people. If Sister Yu can be favored, not only can she follow Master Wu into the capital to enjoy the good life, but Master Wu will also give her this number!"
The woman stretched out her palm and turned it in a circle.
She had a silver ring on her middle finger, and her fat hand was a little swollen.
"Ten taels of silver is enough for your brother Feng to find a wife."
Jiang Mianmian was still staring at the ring, wondering if her finger would be damaged, and then she understood belatedly.
Is this a human trafficking? ? ?
Maybe it was because Jiang Mianmian's eyes were too wide. After the woman finished speaking, she stared at Jiang Mianmian and said,
"Tsk tsk, you are so pitiful, Feng's mother, even if you don't consider Feng'er, you should also consider this little one. I heard that it was only four pounds when it was born. As the old saying goes, three will die, four will be disabled, five will be weak, six will be alive, seven will be healthy, and eight will be strong. Your child is dark and thin, and it looks difficult to raise. If something happens in the future, you will need money for food and medicine.
Sister Yu can go to the capital to enjoy her life, and she can still support my sister. After all, it's a life..."
Jiang Mianmian... How did this have anything to do with her? She was suddenly excited and struggled.
Her mother held her very tightly, and she couldn't move at all.
"Mother, why don't you sell me? You can buy delicious food and raise my sister to be as strong as me." Sister Jiang Yu said.
Jiang Mianmian felt as if her heart was in pain.
She cried loudly.
Before, she heard that her elder sister exposed her best friend's scandal in order to snatch a job as a kitchen helper, and she thought she was a bad girl. Now, she is actually selling herself for her sister's food. How can she be so stupid? Show your selfishness!
Jiang Mianmian kept crying with all her might, and she wouldn't stop.
But her ability was limited, and her crying sounded
like she was suffocating .
It scared the whole family.
"Sixth aunt, my family can't afford to entertain you, you go back." A Niang said.
"Sixth aunt, you go back, we don't sell our daughters." Dad said clearly.
The eldest brother directly took action and forked the sixth aunt out.
The sixth aunt stood at the door and cursed angrily, spitting a mouthful of thick phlegm while cursing:
"You are a family of scumbags, you don't know how to enjoy life, you deserve to be poor all your life, Jiang Laoer, if you can raise your children, I, the sixth aunt, will eat three pounds of shit."
Because Jiang Mianmian's crying was too scary, the family ignored the sixth aunt.
Jiang Mianmian was really scared, she would cry no matter who held her, and she couldn't stop.
I have a personal experience of this family environment.
It's too poor.
Sister Yu held her sister and rocked her gently.
"Mianmian, don't cry, sister won't leave, sister will accompany you every day, sister will never leave again."
She said with tears in her eyes.
If there is a way, who is willing to be a maid.
Jiang Mianmian cried and suddenly felt her eyes blurred - a spring appeared in her sight.
The spring was as big as a bowl. The bubbling spring water was about the thickness and length of a finger. It sprayed into the air and disappeared into the void without a single splash.
Jiang Mianmian subconsciously touched the spring water, and a drop of sweet spring water splashed over. It fell into her mouth, sweet and refreshing. It fell into her nose, and the nasal congestion common in babies was cured immediately.
Aaaaa, the supernatural power of the time traveler!
She forgot to cry and opened her mouth in surprise.
Jiang Yu found that when she said she would not leave, her sister really stopped crying and seemed to open her mouth and laugh.
She also laughed, but her tears flowed even more fiercely.
