Chapter 10 My son is here
I hurried home, but by the time I got home, the production team had already finished work.
I didn't meet anyone on the way; everyone was eating at home.
Besides, the sun is very strong here at noon, so everyone will take a nap.
As soon as she came back, Xu Zhiqing hurried out of the main room, followed by Xu Zhili and Xu Zhiyi.
"Mom, are you back?"
As he said this, he was about to take her bag.
“No, I’ll carry it, it’s quite heavy.
Zhili, when did you come here? Did your grandma give you any trouble? "
As the mother and son were talking, they went to the main room.
"My grandma cursed in the yard for half the night yesterday, and her throat was sore.
Mom, my dad said you will be back in two days, is that true?"
It seems that Xu Lanhe thought she was just holding back her anger.
Yes, in this age where making a living depends on physical strength, women are dependent on men.
Although we are extremely reluctant to admit it, men and women are not equal.
Men are stronger and can do more work, even though they work the same amount of time.
Others can get ten work points, but women, no matter how well they work, can only get seven or eight work points.
However, this situation will improve later.
“Zhili, no matter what they say, just nod.
But you have to remember that we will never go back.
I will pick you up here, don't worry."
Xu Zhili nodded, and as soon as he got up early this morning, he went to the foot of the mountain to dig wild vegetables.
But he hadn't waited for Liu Yunshuang yet, and he was getting very anxious.
"They all said you didn't want me anymore, but I didn't believe it."
Hearing this, Liu Yunshuang quickly pulled her son over.
"Zhili, I didn't go there today because I was out.
You have to believe me, those people just want to make you feel bad, they are all bad people."
Under such special circumstances, we must do a good job of comforting the child and not put any psychological burden on him.
"Mom, drink some water first. The water from the well is too cold."
Seeing Xu Zhiqing bringing her some cold water, she was a little surprised.
"Zhiqing, where did this bowl come from?"
"I borrowed it from the third grandmother's family in the backyard, and she also gave us three eggs."
As she said that, the little girl ran into the house and brought back three boiled eggs.
Obviously, she was hiding.
"Alas, Third Grandma is a good person. I must repay her well in the future."
"Yeah, I get it, Mom."
"I know that too~"
As if afraid of being left behind, Xu Zhili quickly echoed.
"Mom knows that you are all good children. Zhili, eat here at noon and don't go back."
"real?"
"Of course, let's cook sweet potato porridge."
Liu Yunshuang stood up, took out the broom, and asked Zhiqing to take the two children to boil the pot.
She went to the west room, took the bowl, and scooped out more than half a bowl of rice.
The rest are placed inside the quilt.
The eldest daughter cleaned the house very well, even wiping the main room and the east room.
She even went to take a look and found that the yellow mud she had applied in the morning had dried up.
There were no signs of having been tampered with, and the pair of gold bracelets were also safe.
"Rice, Mom, did you buy rice?"
Xu Zhiqing had originally come out to fetch water, but when he saw her washing rice, his eyes lit up.
They could not eat fine grains once throughout the year, and even if they did, they had to be eaten by Xu Lanchun and Xu Zhiwei.
Being able to share a little bit (local dialect, meaning a little bit, very little) means that Grandma Xu is in a good mood.
"Yes, I bought a little bit. Go and boil some water. I'll dig two more sweet potatoes later."
"Okay~"
After all, he is a ten-year-old child and he is still very happy to see rice.
She went over to put the rice into the pot, then used yesterday's thick stick to dig out two small sweet potatoes.
Wash it clean, cut it into pieces with a kitchen knife, and throw it directly into the pot.
"Mom, we don't have much firewood at home.
After dinner, let’s go pick some up.”
"Okay~"
There is really nothing missing in the family now. Liu Yunshuang sighed. It is not so easy to set up a family on your own.
When the firewood is burned out, the porridge will be ready.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
We took three bowls from Third Grandma’s house, and now there are four of us.
Liu Yunshuang gave a bowl to Xu Zhiqing and Xu Zhili respectively, and ate together with her little daughter.
There were no chopsticks at home, so Xu Zhili picked up a few branches to use as chopsticks.
"Here are the eggs, one for each of you three, eat them quickly."
Then he gave each of them one. The youngest daughter didn't know how to peel the skin, so of course she did it for him.
"Mom, please eat. You've worked so hard. I don't want to eat."
Xu Zhili followed suit and handed over the egg in his hand.
"I don't want to eat either, Mom, you eat it."
"Mom won't eat, you guys are still growing, so eat and be obedient."
Xu Zhiqing still refused to eat, so she pretended to be angry, and then the girl started to eat in small bites.
Xu Zhili also looked very satisfied, as they only had a few eggs to eat throughout the year.
Every household can raise two chickens, and most of the eggs in the Xu family go into the stomachs of Xu Lanchun and Xu Zhiwei.
"Next year, we'll raise a few chickens, and then you can eat as much as you want."
All the children had starry eyes. In their eyes, Liu Yunshuang looked like a hero, shining brightly.
At this time, all the eggs in the house have to be exchanged for other things.
Only very favored children can eat it.
After lunch, Liu Yunshuang let the three children sleep on the kang for a while.
She carried a chair to the east room, put the money and bills away, wrapped them in a headscarf, and placed them on the beam.
These were the places where their parents hid things before, and only the three sisters knew about it.
The rice also had to be hidden, so after much thought, she decided to put it in the open-air stove outside the east room.
This is the place for making fire, which no one would have thought of.
He also reminded the three children not to let anyone know about the current situation at home.
Especially Xu Zhili, he still has to live in the old Xu family.
If you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss.
"Zhiqing, Zhili, you two stay at home and look after your sister. I'm going to the mountain for a while."
"Mom, wait a minute, I'll go with you and I can pick up some firewood.
There is nothing to burn at night.”
“It doesn’t matter. When Zhiyi wakes up, you can take her to Shuiquangou.
I'm going to get some willow branches over there, where I picked hazelnuts last year."
Xu Zhiqing nodded, she knew the place.
Nowadays, it is very normal for children to go up the mountain and it is not a big deal.
In addition, Shuiquangou is the second ditch entering the mountain, and the distance is not far.
The location of their house should be the closest to the entire production team.
Liu Yunshuang didn't hesitate any longer, took the hatchet and sickle and set off.
There is only one month left before the disaster.
She must prepare everything during this time.
