Chapter 7 The whole family eats meat
After returning home, Bai Jing started sorting with a dustpan.
It was really hard to separate them, so she didn't care anymore. At worst, she could just crush the radium and cook them together. It was better than starving.
In one afternoon, she brought back almost 23 kilograms of food, enough to feed the family for a few days.
Thinking of the money in the system, Bai Jing's heart trembled. She thought it would be better to get more valuable things to exchange with the system for some money for self-defense, which would also make it more convenient to use the system.
But where can I get the money?
In order to test the inclusiveness of the system, Bai Jing exchanged all the items in her home, but unfortunately, there was nothing valuable.
It seems that I can only get some old things or some gold and silver.
But these things were not available at home. Bai Jing pondered for a long time and finally decided on a goal, which was to go to the landlord's house at that time. She thought that he might have left some treasures.
Her mind was busy and her hands were working. Since she had found some food in the afternoon, Bai Jing didn't feel any regret at all when she cooked dinner.
She is not afraid of her mother scolding her. After all, it is food that has been eaten. Let her mother scold her. As long as her sister-in-law is no longer a big-headed baby, it is enough.
Besides, she also needed to grow taller. After all, she was only about 1.4 meters tall at the age of sixteen. She didn't want to be like in her previous life and look like a short melon when walking with her friends.
Eat well, eat well, and get well soon.
Smoke rose from the kitchen as people who were not working in the fields began to prepare dinner for their families.
Smoke began to rise from the chimneys of every household, which was a signal that the villagers were busy preparing dinner.
White smoke also came out of the Bai family's kitchen chimney far away at the edge of the village.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the country road, and a group of sparrows jump happily in the trees, as if performing a happy dance.
There was still some chicken left from lunch, so Bai Jing made the staple food a little harder, after all, she had a good harvest in the afternoon.
Paired with meat dishes, I think everyone will be able to have a full meal.
The firelight in the kitchen made Bai Jing's face red. She skillfully stir-fried the vegetables in a large iron pan. The chicken oil left over from lunch made a sizzling sound in the pan, and the fragrance of the oil and vegetables mixed together, filling the entire house.
As it got dark, the villagers went home from work one after another. The three children who had already finished school went directly to the fields to pick up their mother.
When everyone came back, they smelled an enticing fragrance.
"Mom, what delicious food did my elder sister make? It smells so good."
The first one to speak was the youngest in the family. He was a boy, moved a lot, and got hungry quickly, so he could not resist the temptation of such a fragrance.
Thinking of the bowl of chicken she had for lunch, the fatigue on Luo Chunhua's face dissipated a little. "Let's go into the house and take a look, and we'll know." Looking at the thin children, Luo Chunhua showed a slight smile on her face.
When Bai Yong heard what his mother said, he immediately ran to the kitchen, shouting, "Sister, sister, I'm back."
Bai Jing also extinguished the torch in the stove. The mixed grain rice she cooked was already cooked.
"Xiaoyong, did mom come back with you?" Bai Jing put down the pliers, stood up and walked out, but unexpectedly she met the brother and sister at the door.
"Slow down, little brat. You're hitting me and it hurts." Bai Jing was almost knocked away by the collision. If she hadn't grabbed the door frame quickly, she would have fallen on her butt.
Bai Yong felt embarrassed to have bumped into his sick elder sister, but the aroma in the room was too tempting. He sniffed and said, "Sister, what did you do? It smells so good."
Rubbing the place that was hurt, Bai Jing slapped him in annoyance, "You only care about eating. Can't you see that I, your sister, am in pain?" This kid deserves a lesson.
Luo Chunhua came over with her two daughters. Seeing her daughters holding onto Xiaoyong, she immediately asked, "What happened?"
Bai Jing didn't intend to complain. "Mother and sister, you're both back now. Let's wash up and have dinner. It's almost ready." Bai Jing released her brother's hand and immediately went out to greet him. "I was lucky today. I dug out a lot of rat nests."
"Sister, are you going into the mountains?" Xiaoyong was the happiest one to hear this. He had done this many times, but unfortunately, he was small and could not find many nests.
"Are you going again tomorrow? Take me with you." The little guy's eyes were shining brightly.
But Bai Lie didn't indulge him. "You have to go to school tomorrow. Why are you going out? Be careful or your mother will beat you."
She knew how much her mother cared about studying. Even after many years, she knew how much her mother valued her children's studies.
"If you dare to skip school tomorrow, I'll give you a beating." Bai's mother's sinister voice came from behind Bai Yong.
He was so scared that he shuddered, "Mom, why are you here?" His mother had clearly gone into the house.
Bai Jing glared at the younger brother, "What can you see? You only have big sister in your eyes, haha, get out of here."
It smells so good, big sister must have gotten something good today.
That was the smell of meat, she remembered.
Bai Ling also pushed Bai Yong, "Don't block the way."
have to.
Bai Yong suddenly became the one being disliked in the family.
"Mom, look at my second and third sisters, they bullied me." Bai Yong was a shameless man, and he felt justified in making the complaint.
But Bai's mother didn't want to pay attention to him. "Your sisters are right. Don't block the way."
She still remembered the taste of meat at noon. She was hungry after working all afternoon.
Bai Jing just watched her brother perform quietly. She didn't expect that her brother was so cute when he was a child.
The memory of her brother has become very faint.
After all, her brother passed away when he was in his twenties. Even though she went to pay tribute to him every year in the following decades, his appearance was gradually fading.
Her whole family seemed to be soaking in bitter water, suffering the most.
well.
"Okay, go wash up and eat."
There was no electricity at home, and the kitchen was a little dim. Bai Jing had already lit the lamp, using a tung oil lamp. The oil used was tung oil, and since she could make it at home, she didn't feel bad about it.
When they entered the kitchen and saw meat on the table, the three siblings, except Luo Chunhua, were all surprised.
"Sister, where does the meat come from?" Their family didn't raise chickens. They couldn't afford to raise them. Even if they did, they couldn't eat them. So there was no need to raise them.
Bai Jing saw her sister-in-law's surprised expression and walked over to her with a smile, "I found it when I went into the mountains this morning."
But no one believed her words. They all looked envious and said, "Sister, you are so lucky."
"Yes, yes. We've been into the mountains before, but why haven't we found anything?" Bai Jing swallowed hard, looking away with difficulty, and looked at her sister. "Sister, are there any more? Can we find any tomorrow?"
Before Bai Jing could say anything, Luo Chunhua couldn't stand it any longer. "Come on, the pheasants on the mountain belong to us. We can't just eat them whenever we want. Aren't you hungry? Come over and eat."
Just now she saw the rice cooking in the pot, which was mixed grain rice. It seemed that Jing'er went to dig the nest in the afternoon.
With the meat at noon as a base, I didn't bother her with dinner, but I still asked her to eat sparingly, after all, there was still some time before the food distribution.
The grain will be distributed only after the autumn harvest is paid, and not all of the distributed grain can go into their hands, so they have to save some.
"eat."
"eat."
"eat."
Three voices sounded at the same time.
Bai Jing smiled as she looked at her younger brother and sister. Even though they hadn't gone through the hardships of life later on, the relationship between the siblings was still pretty good.
Although she was reborn, she was willing to change her family's fate, after all, they had suffered a lot.
If it can be changed, it is better to change it.
They were born of the same mother, so there was really no deep hatred between them. Besides, they were all helpless, so she couldn't blame anyone. She herself had her own selfish motives.
No one had a chance to speak during the meal.
Because Bai Jing had eaten meat at noon, she didn't eat much at dinner, but she drank two bowls of soup.
Not only her, but Bai's mother did the same. However, Bai Jing felt sorry for her and still gave her a lot of meat. With the filial piety of her other three children, she ate half a bowl of meat in the evening.
Seeing that everyone was enjoying the meal, Bai Jing planned to bring back two more pheasants tomorrow.
