On the other side, Su Xia was eating with her adopted daughter and was particularly satisfied, with her mouth full of oil.
Niu Niu licked her belly and lay on her back with a happy face. Today was the happiest day she could remember.
Looking at the remaining food, he asked, "Mom, are we going to eat this tomorrow?"
"Well, Niuniu, you can't waste it, you know. And if Daya and the others ask, what should you say?"
Su Xia took the opportunity to educate Niu Niu.
"Yeah..., don't worry, there's nothing good about our family, I can tell you, just keep a low profile."
Looking at the clever face of the girl, despite her age, she is quite smart.
Su Xia put the remaining things in the cupboard, and in fact, they were stored in the space as soon as they entered the cupboard.
After they washed up, they went to bed.
There is no electricity and no machine, so I can only go to bed early.
In the next few days, Su Xia went to the kitchen to cook while the Chen family was working, and made extra food and put it in the space, so she could take it out when she wanted to eat.
Every day I go directly from the backyard to the back mountain, find a deserted place, take out the solar panel to charge, dig some wild vegetables and pick up some firewood, and my life is very peaceful.
The Chen family staggered their schedules so that they could see each other more often, and there were fewer conflicts. If the villagers went out and gossiped about each other, they would just pretend that they knew about it.
They ate well and slept well, and within a few days, the mother and daughter looked better.
Su Xia had a tall figure, ate well, had a fair complexion, and had shiny pigtails, and looked a little like someone who had given birth to a child.
Su Xia looks at herself in the mirror every day and is very satisfied with herself now. After all, she got a good deal and went back 8 years to her younger self. The more she looks at herself, the more satisfied she is.
Niu Niu's friend was taken care of by her mother. She wore clean clothes and pants, sandals on her feet, two buns on her head, a red rope and hairpins. In just a few days, she seemed to have gained weight. Her face was full of collagen, her big eyes were rolling around, and she looked like she was thinking something. Her arms were full of knots, like a porcelain doll in a New Year picture.
Su Xia watched Niuniu running outside all day long, feeling very restrained. This girl knew how to cheat people with just a turn of her eyes, so she was not worried at all.
Su Xia was bored by herself, so she lay on the kang, took out a tablet, potatoes, and milk tea from her workspace, and watched movies and talked while eating and drinking. She felt so comfortable.
I knew there was a noisy sound coming from outside, including crying and shouting.
When he went out, he saw that Chen's mother was being carried into the house by the second son, Chen Jiandang.
Follow him in and see what's going on. If it's serious, send a telegram to the "ATM" immediately.
Father Chen felt very distressed when he saw his wife lying there weak.
"Laoban, you should just rest at home. The autumn harvest is halfway through. You can just cook at home."
Mother Chen leaned against the quilt and swayed.
"It's just heat stroke, it's nothing serious,"
The second brother, Chen Jiandang, is a simple-minded person who knows how to play tricks.
"Mom, please don't go. If you faint again, we will have to send you back. How many centimeters will that cost?"
Xia Lai Di felt that what the head of the family said was right.
"Yes, mother, the harvest is good. Take me with you for half a day. What if we run out of food again?"
Everyone in the room looked at the two of them, and now they knew why they were a couple. It was like a fish seeking fish, a shrimp seeking shrimp, a turtle seeking a cuckold - they were right for each other.
Su Xia held Niuniu in her arms, holding back her laughter as she stood by. It was not easy to walk in this situation.
When Father Chen saw that his daughter-in-law were there, he didn't want to talk to her, so he glared at his stupid son.
Chen's mother felt dizzy when she came in, but she became alert after being angry.
"Go away...you talking bastard, go back to work and don't come back."
Seeing that Mother Chen was much better, Father Chen took his second and third sons to harvest corn.
After harvesting corn, we harvest sweet potatoes, beans, and cabbage. The autumn harvest is over.
This year is the second year of the disaster, and there have been only two heavy rains, so the yield must be low. It's better here. After the grain is distributed, the diligent people mix it with wild vegetables. Every family has vegetables, beans, and sweet potatoes in their private plots. The people here can only starve to death.
Those who are lazy, or who don't work enough, the lonely and elderly, have no choice but to go without food or even starve to death.
Su Xia thought about a southern province in his country where one-third of the population starved to death during the three difficult years.
In the current time and space, except for the names of the leaders and some other places being the same, the general direction is very different.
Look, everyone has gone out.
Su Xia put Niuniu, who was playing with her, on the kang, and sat down to accompany Chen's mother.
Mother Chen looked at her eldest daughter-in-law and wanted to talk more, saying that she was in good health and doing farm work.
Watching her for the past few years, how could I know that she is just a lazy woman.
Not to mention the captain, she is probably ranked second in the whole village, no one wants to be the first.
Mother Chen wanted to see her eldest daughter-in-law's rosy face, so she closed her eyes and rested.
Su Xia watched Chen's mother rest, but ignored her and covered Niu Niu with her coat. In fact, I mainly dislike the things that Chen's mother built.
I went to the kitchen to boil some water and went into the room to see that Mother Chen was still awake.
"Mom, I can't find the brown sugar. I'll make you some sugar water. You'll feel better."
Su Xia didn't feel embarrassed at all, she had it in her room, she just felt lazy.
"You bitch, you are filial to me and you have to use my things, where is your face?"
Mother Chen looked at the eldest daughter-in-law with a devastated look on her face, and could only sigh that she was lucky.
"Then you're close, use yours first, and I'll get you another pack tomorrow, just as a token of my filial piety."
The old lady didn't get angry and scolded her, so she gave her the key of the cabinet and asked her to take it herself.
Su Xia found some brown sugar, made a bowl of brown sugar water, and gave it directly to Chen's mother.
"Mom, take a rest for a while. I'll make lunch for you."
When Chen's mother heard this, she didn't hesitate. Since she was still angry, she gave Su Xia the key to the kitchen cabinet and told her that the food was in it and she could cook it. ”
Su Xiashun took it naturally and went directly to the kitchen to prepare lunch.
Looking at the 10 kilograms of cornmeal in the Chen family’s food, it must have been bought by Chen Jianjun before.
I don't know what made the black flour in the half bag, it looks very rough.
A bag of dried sweet potatoes weighs less than 10 kilograms, which is less than half a month's food ration for the 10 or so people in the Chen family.
It is certainly possible to eat enough, and if you add most of the wild vegetables, you can hold out until the food is distributed.
Su Xia sighed and took a breath. If she hadn't come, Niuniu really couldn't imagine it.
At this time, Daya and the others came back to bring wild vegetables.
Looking at these skinny girls, with dry and yellow hair and fitted clothes with several patches, they are full of energy and spirit.
This shows that the Chen family has a good family tradition. Mother Chen likes her grandson very much, but she treats her granddaughter's grandmother harshly.
"Aunt, aunt...the wild vegetables are placed here," Daya looked at her aunt in a daze and had no choice but to call out twice.
oh……
Su Xia took it and asked Daya to help with the stove. She was only 7 years old and still in kindergarten in the future, so she was embarrassed to use it.
Then Daya came over and gave her a handful of hard candy.
"Daya, grandma is sick. You can play in the yard with your sisters, okay?"
Daya looked at the candy with a look of longing, took it with great interest, said thank you to her aunt and ran out.
Su Xia went to the yard to pick some vegetables, and then came back to start cooking.
I first stewed a pot of beans and eggplant, threw in a handful of dried sweet potatoes, and added a little bit of lard.
Chen's mother's seasonings were only salt and almost empty lard, steamed vegetable balls with flour: a large basin of washed and chopped wild vegetables, a bowl of black flour, and half a bowl of corn flour, each ball was as big as an adult's fist.
Once it's done, just wait for it to boil.
