Chapter 027 Our mother!
The captain continued to walk out with a smile.
A faint smile appeared on Song Mo's lips.
Wen Kexin saw the two of them leave and felt the strange looks from her younger brother and sister.
She quickly put away her shyness, showed her big sister's momentum, and said with a stern face: "What are you looking at? Clean up the house quickly, I'll go find someone to exchange some things."
The third sister Keai and her younger brother Ping'an went to work obediently.
Only the second sister was kind enough to pull her arm and shake it a few times and say, "Big sister, I want to go with you, too."
In an instant, Wen Kexin remembered the names of the three sisters. The original owner of the Wen family had always been called Daya since she was born, and after the two younger sisters were born, it was natural for them to be called Erya and Sanya.
After the original owner went to school, she realized that the three sisters were not valued in the Wen family. She gave herself and her two younger sisters the names Ke Xin and Ke Qin Kai.
My parents all said that the names were well chosen, and that’s why the three sisters have such nice names.
But grandma and other people in the family simply ignored it and continued to call her Da Ya, Er Ya and San Ya.
Fortunately, she finally left that quagmire, and she was very happy to see the smiles on her sisters' faces.
She said she was going to the village to exchange things, but actually she wanted to use the space as a cheat, as it was inconvenient to bring Keqin with her.
Thinking of this, she patiently advised: "Second sister, you should stay at home and clean up the house. I will take you with me next time I go out."
Wen Keqin blinked her big eyes and said, "Big sister, you said this? Pinky promise!"
Wen Kexin felt amused. From the original owner's memory, she knew that the second sister was not only capable but also a bit cunning. The third sister was amiable but perhaps because she was too well protected by her two older sisters, she was a bit honest and straightforward.
She made a pinky promise with her second sister with a serious look on her face.
I saw my second sister cleaning the house.
My mother also pushed my father's wheelchair to the shade of the tree in the yard and joined in cleaning the house.
She walked into the kitchen and saw only a broken half water tank.
Sighing inwardly, the most urgent thing was to go to the space to find a cooking pot, a rice spoon, a rice shovel, a rice bowl, etc.
Otherwise the whole family will go hungry at noon.
She walked out of the house, found a place where no one was, and entered the space to search.
There was a small iron pot that had been thrown in the warehouse and was no longer used, three or four large coarse porcelain bowls with cracks on them, a large wooden rice spoon, and a wooden spatula.
After thinking about it, I wrapped some soybeans and peanuts in newspaper.
Then I put some rice in a cloth bag.
The only food we could borrow from the brigade was coarse grains.
I still took out some rice from the space and made porridge for my family at noon.
She also prepared a few eggplants and large and small peppers and grabbed a handful of coarse salt.
There is also a can of soybean paste.
As for cucumbers and tomatoes, I took out a lot from the space in the morning and only ate a few of them. I put them in my clothes bag and carried them to this yard.
Seeing the soybean oil in Space Kitchen, I decided to give it up!
In those days, few people in rural areas could afford soybean oil, and they all ate lard.
When exchanging things in the village, no one would give lard or pork.
This lunch is just enough to get by. After the meal, you can go for a walk in the town and then you will have the opportunity to take out other scarce daily necessities and ingredients from the space.
She put these things into a worn bamboo basket.
It was about time, so he left the space and walked into the house carrying a bamboo basket.
Seeing her come back, her two sisters and one brother ran over and surrounded her curiously to see what she had brought back.
The second sister flattered with a smile on her face, "Sister, you are amazing. You have changed so many things in just a short time?"
"No need!" Wen Kexin walked into the kitchen and put down the bamboo basket.
Wang Qiaolian was holding a rag made from torn pieces of her torn jacket in her hand. She rushed over after hearing the news and was immediately overjoyed when she saw her daughter taking out the things in the bamboo basket one by one.
"Kexin, these things are just what we need. I'll cook now. By the way, what did you exchange them for?"
"Mom, I exchanged money and tickets with the villagers."
Wang Qiaolian was obviously distressed and sighed.
Then, he deftly built a simple stove with a few stones and lit the firewood he found in the yard with a flint.
Just as I was about to put the small iron pot on the fire, I suddenly remembered something and froze.
Not only was she stunned, Wen Kexin also slapped her head and remembered that she had forgotten to take the bucket or basin from the space.
Isn't it said that the water from the well in the yard must be cleaned before use?
I have to go out to fetch water.
I quickly realized that the space was full of plastic buckets and basins.
In this era, we all have enamel basins, wooden barrels and iron buckets. Besides, it is not convenient to take them out now. What should we do?
Just as I was feeling conflicted, I heard someone striding in from outside the yard.
Wen Kexin looked up and saw that it was Song Mo who came back.
I saw that he was carrying a bag of grain on his shoulders and a large wooden barrel filled with clear water in his hands.
He was carrying a basket on his back, which was heavy with something unknown.
When Wen Kexin saw the big wooden barrel and water, her eyes suddenly lit up.
He hurried over and tried to take the bucket.
He kept praising her, "Brother Mo, you are really a timely help. You bring back whatever the family needs. Where did you buy these things?"
Song Mo took two steps back and said, "Move aside, it's too heavy, I'll do it!"
Wen Kexin realized belatedly that Song Mo was carrying a large wooden barrel, which was indeed not light with the amount of water inside.
The food bag on his shoulders and the backpack on his back both looked heavy.
He quickly made way, muttering in his heart: Seeing Song Mo so relaxed, he completely forgot that he had been dressed like a frail little girl.
Soon, she saw Song Mo walk into the kitchen and put down his things. The brigade lent them 40 kilograms of cornmeal.
In Song Mo's backpack was a clay jar, several large coarse porcelain bowls, two brand new enamel basins, a new pair of chopsticks, some white flour and a few pounds of corn dregs, and even a can filled with white grease.
“Is this meat oil?”
"Um!"
As Song Mo took things out, he said, "I borrowed food from the brigade, and I took these things home."
In the past two days, Wen Kexin has been in the hospital and has forgotten about the fact that she is already married.
Look, the things the Song family brought were all new, while the things he chose from the space were all old and unused things. He suddenly felt his face burning.
After Song Mo took out the things, he looked up at her.
Why did the young wife blush?
"What's wrong?"
Can Wen Kexin say what she is thinking? Of course not.
His brain quickly raced, and hesitantly said, "Will your mother be angry if you take so many things?"
I see!
Song Mo smiled faintly and said, "Our mother is very nice. She found these things and asked us to help settle the family."
Wen Kexin knew that her mother-in-law was a nice person, but she didn't expect her to be this nice.
I remembered that I ran back to my parents' home on my wedding day, and left early the next morning to take care of my father in the hospital.
She asked apologetically, "Didn't your mother say anything about me?"
Song Mo shook his head and emphasized in a low voice: "It's not your mother, it's our mother! She knows that something is wrong with your family and she won't blame you."
Putting herself in her shoes, Wen Kexi felt ashamed and secretly decided to treat her mother-in-law as her own mother from now on.
"I know, it's our mother!"
