The second day's meeting went smoothly. The man, Chen Jianguo, had a seven-day holiday.
Both parties were old, so their families hurriedly held a wedding, and the two young people entered the bridal chamber.
The next morning, Chen Jianguo was anxious to return to the railway team.
Later in the dream, Su Xia became pregnant and gave birth to a girl the following year. Her full name was Chen Jinxuan, and her nickname was Niuniu.
After the child was born, Su Xia's refusal to work caused dissatisfaction among her two younger siblings. Chen's parents had no choice but to separate the big house from the other.
In 1959, famine began. Grain production decreased and the harvested grain was not enough to fill people’s stomachs. Most people had to eat wild vegetables to fill their stomachs.
The situation was even worse in 1960. The original owner began to run out of food. He had no food to eat and no children.
There was no food to buy in the county town. The original owner had not eaten for two days before she came. She went to her mother's house to borrow food. Her two sisters-in-law scolded her, and the original owner came back together and fell asleep on the kang.
Maybe hunger and anger attacked his heart, and he died in his sleep. At this time, Su Xia from the future came.
The Lord’s child was too young to know what was going on, and thought the original owner had fallen asleep, and 늀 fell asleep next to him.
When Su Xia woke up, the sun had not yet risen. After she sorted out her situation.
First take out a cup of milk tea from the space to replenish sugar.
I haven't eaten or drunk anything for two days, so I'm prone to hypoglycemia. No wonder I feel dizzy.
After drinking a glass, Su Xia's stomach pain felt much better.
I moved my arms and legs and felt much better. I slowly sat up and observed the place where I lived in the early morning light.
There was a big kang under me, 2 meters wide and 3 meters long. The place where I lay was at the east end. There was an old-fashioned kang cabinet at the west end, which was tattered and covered with a black and hard quilt.
The house is surrounded by adobe walls and you can see thatch on the roof.
Looking down further underground, there is a three-dimensional cabinet 2 meters long and 1 meter high on the west wall, with a big lock on the front.
On the back of the cabinet were a mirror and a ceramic jar labeled "Working People."
This cabinet is quite solid and can be used as a table as well as for storage.
There was a washbasin stand next to the window, with a washbasin and a towel of unknown color hanging on it.
Su Xia's heart sank. To describe the house as bare was an exaggeration. Now they were just moving into a bare-bones house.
When I think about the fact that it is now the second year of the difficult period, there are still people starving to death. It is far more serious than what is said on the Internet in later generations.
Looking at my dry, dark and thin hands, I feel like crying but have no tears.
"Wow... a faint crying sound was heard."
Su Xia looked to the side and heard the crying of the original owner's adopted daughter.
"Mom, mom, you're awake. I called you for a long time last night, but you ignored me."
The girl was thin and dark, with messy hair, crying and wiping her tears with her sleeves.
Well, this is going to be even dirtier.
"Niuniu, stop crying. Mommy is tired after coming back from grandma's house and is sleeping soundly."
This child is so pitiful. Her mother died in her sleep, but she is still sleeping next to her.
"Hey...Niuniu's mother didn't cook, what did you eat?" Thinking that the original owner hadn't eaten for a day.
"Mom, grandma gave Niuniu some sweet potatoes to eat, and Niuniu even left a piece for you."
The child's soft and sticky voice makes people feel distressed when listening to it.
Looking at the sweet potato that the child took out from the side, he looked at himself with hope.
I also have a child. I came here by myself. Now I am the child's mother. What should I do? I have to raise him.
If you don't raise it, you can't go back.
"Eat, I'm not hungry. Lie down for a while, I'll go downstairs and make breakfast."
"Eh? Mom, is there any food in our house? It's all gone."
Children of sixty years old have already become responsible. Those who were still breastfeeding in later generations now know about the daily necessities of life.
"Mom brought it from grandma's house yesterday. Don't worry about it, little brat. Be careful not to grow tall."
It's quite funny to see Niu Niu looking scared. She believes everything you say.
Su Xia took a large package next to her, put on her shoes and went to the kitchen.
I was surprised when I went out. There is no kitchen in this house.
When I looked towards the yard, I remembered that the original owner had split up the family business, but he made it a separate house, and the kitchen was public.
It seems that this breakfast cannot be prepared, and I cannot bring this food to the Chen family at this time.
I thought about going to the kitchen, boiling some hot water, and making a cup of milk powder for my child.
As soon as I entered the kitchen, I was filled with smoke. It turned out that Chen's mother had started to cook.
"Mom, good morning," Su Xia didn't want to be exposed, so she called out naturally. She had been pretending in the workplace for so many years, but now this was just a piece of cake.
"I can't sleep anyway, get up and boil some water."
Mother Chen looked at her emaciated daughter-in-law and didn't want to say that she woke up from hunger.
This damn weather, if it doesn't rain, it's really unbearable to live.
Su Xia looked at the skinny old lady and didn't know what to say, especially since she wasn't familiar with her.
I filled a pot of hot water and went back to my room.
Mother Chen looked at Su Xia's back and wanted to stop her and ask if she had any food left, but she didn't get the answer. What would it matter if she asked, as she was also eating wild vegetables.
Alas... When will the days that Chen's mother is worried about end?
Su Xia returned to the room and had no idea about Chen's mother's worries. Even if she knew, there was nothing she could do as she couldn't solve the problem herself.
Su Xia in the room took a can of milk powder from the space while Niu Niu was not paying attention. The packaging was torn when she was stocking up before, and now it was just a silver can.
The milk powder was put directly into the package. The original owner of this package brought it back from her mother's house yesterday. As for the reason, let's not worry about it for now.
Niu Niu looked at the things her mother took out and didn't recognize them.
Then I saw my mother open the jar, scoop some milk into the bowl with a spoon, and then rinse it with hot water. The aroma of milk came to my face, and my little nose twitched.
"Mom, what is this? It smells so good."
"This is given by grandma. Give it to Niuniu. Don't tell anyone else, or you'll starve."
"No, no," Niu Niu doesn't want to go hungry.
They took out the old-fashioned biscuits again, and each person finished two biscuits and a big bowl of milk powder. In the end, little Niu Niu licked the bottom of the bowl with a satisfied look on her face.
Well, the dishes are not washed.
After eating, Su Xia prepared to take another nap and make good plans after a good sleep.
Seeing her mother fall asleep again, Niu Niu got used to it, so she turned over and lay down, leaning against Su Xia and fell asleep.
