This house is too poor.

This is the first time that Chen Xuanxuan has known what it means to be penniless...

Of course, using the four words "penniless" to describe her current home, Chen Xuanxuan feels that she has overestimated it.

Because a penniless home at least has four walls... In her own home, only the back and the left and right sides are low earthen walls, and the front of the house is actually built with wooden boards.

The walls built with wooden boards are full of holes. The northwest cold wind is blowing fiercely outside, and every time it blows, it blows the wooden boards. There

are not many grass roots in the house.

But Chen Xuanxuan still gritted her teeth and stewed them all in one pot with the only clay pot in the house.

After stewing the grass roots into a paste, Chen Xuanxuan took advantage of the fact that her parents-in-law closed their eyes and rested, not noticing this, and poured all the 100 grams of soy milk powder she had in her hand into the paste.

After stirring vigorously for a few times, she covered it with an old wooden board used for burning firewood.

It is very likely that the soy milk powder was added with a little bit of the essence. So soon, the whole kitchen, including the main room next to it, was filled with a strong fragrance.

"Wife, what are you cooking? Why is it so fragrant..."

Seeing her tall and strong husband walking towards her with a silly look on his face, she couldn't help but tell him.

"I've put some water in this basin. Hurry up and tell the children to get up and wash their faces and hands. We're going to have dinner..."

Gu Yanzhang was so happy when he heard that it was time to eat.

Then, he turned around and called all his six children.

"Get up! Get up!"

"Today I have to wash your faces and hands. After washing, we can have delicious food..."

The six skinny carrot heads had already smelled the fragrance. When they heard their father say that they could have delicious food, they hurriedly stood up from the straw pile.

Then they followed Gu Yanzhang and ran over happily.

Chen Xuanxuan saw with her own eyes that the six children in the family were naked, except for the eldest son who was wearing knee-length shorts, without any clothes on. She couldn't help but get angry.

"Why don't you wear any clothes when you get up so early in the morning?"

"Don't you know how cold it is outside?"

Seeing Chen Xuanxuan suddenly pull a long face and say this, everyone present was stunned.

"Wife, have you forgotten? There are only a few clothes in our family..., except for the set of clothes worn by parents, you are wearing this set of clothes, and there is no clothes to wear at home..."

"This pair of pants on me, and the one worn by Dazhu, are all made by you using the quilt cover at home!"

Hearing this suddenly, Chen Xuanxuan immediately felt a memory flashing in her mind.

Ah?

This, this thing, is indeed like this.

Chen Xuanxuan thought about it carefully, and she suddenly realized that the living conditions in the ancient countryside were indeed so difficult.

Many farmers in this remote area share only one piece of clothing or one pair of pants.

Only those who go out to work are qualified to wear clothes and pants.

Thinking of this, Chen Xuanxuan's face looked very ugly at the time.

She thought she knew very well how poor this family was.

However, every time she thought that her three views had hit rock bottom, the ruthless reality would continue to break her three views.

Why is it so poor?

Just when Chen Xuanxuan was wondering in her heart, Gu Yanzhang honestly washed her face, washed her parents' faces, and washed the children's faces.

After washing their faces, he began to wash their hands carefully.

When they finished washing, the basin of water that Chen Xuanxuan had used to wash the pottery jar suddenly turned completely black.

Seeing the dirty water, it was unbearable to look at. Chen Xuanxuan couldn't help but said to Gu Yanzhang, "Don't rush to splash the water. After we finish our meal, you can wash your feet..."

Chen Xuanxuan knew without thinking that this family was sloppy and had no sense of hygiene.

They didn't wash their faces, hands, feet, hair, or clothes.

Brushing their teeth every day was even more impossible.

When she thought of this, Chen Xuanxuan instinctively felt that her whole body was itchy.

When people are poor, they become less and less particular about life.

Because they don't have the ability to be particular.

So they can only make do with whatever they can.

Even if all the grass roots are stewed and the 100 grams of soy milk powder is poured in, Chen Xuanxuan can't guarantee that the 10 people in the family can eat enough and eat well.

Chen Xuanxuan scooped two large spoonfuls of paste into the bowls of her parents-in-law. She

scooped three spoonfuls of paste into Gu Yanzhang's bowl.

One small spoonful for each of the six children.

For the last bit of paste left in the clay pot, Chen Xuanxuan added a little more water and continued to cook.

The taste of grass roots is actually very bad.

After Chen Xuanxuan drank two sips reluctantly, she gave all the remaining soup to Gu Yanzhang.

In Chen Xuanxuan's view, Gu Yanzhang was still a tall and strong man after all.

Let him eat more, because she would have something to arrange for him to do later.

Noticing that Chen Xuanxuan only ate so little today and gave the rest to herself, Gu Yanzhang couldn't help but redden his eyes and shed tears.

"Wife, why don't you eat?"

"You eat, I'll give it to you."

As he said that, Gu Yanzhang was about to take his bowl and stuff it into Chen Xuanxuan's mouth.

Gu Yanzhang was thin,

but he had a big frame. He was much taller than Chen Xuanxuan.

In addition, as a man, his physical fitness was much better than Chen Xuanxuan's.

Under Gu Yanzhang's coercion, Chen Xuanxuan had no choice but to drink another sip reluctantly.

"Alright, alright, I'm full. Don't force it on me, just eat it quickly!" "

After you finish eating, I have something for you to do."

Knowing that his wife had something to do herself, Gu Yanzhang followed Chen Xuanxuan's strength and withdrew his hand.

Then, he drank the remaining two mouthfuls of soup in his bowl.

After drinking it, he smacked his lips with a satisfied look on his face.

"Wife, today's porridge is sweet..."

Chen Xuanxuan thought, of course.

Sugar and flavoring are added to the yellow soy milk powder. So the taste is pretty good. However, grass roots are also added in it.

Grass roots are bitter, so Chen Xuanxuan really doesn't like this sweet and bitter taste.

After everyone ate a few mouthfuls of hot food, their faces seemed to be a little rosier.

Chen Xuanxuan smiled and told her six children, "We have finished eating, you should sit by the stove and have a good rest."
