Chapter 12: Little Shoes
With Cheng Xiangzi's generous temperament, Zhang's side can finally get some things, half a pot of mung beans, a bamboo basket of soybeans, and half a bag of corn, except for mung beans, the other two are next year's seeds.
Looking at so few mung beans, Peach Blossom shook his head secretly, thinking that mung beans were planted at home, but he didn't want to be soybeans, but the sprouts born from soybeans were not as delicious as mung beans after all, but forget it, I believe that I have not eaten it in ancient times, and it must be a new thing.
Finally, I saw Wang walk in with a basket of sweet potatoes, with a smirk on his face, "Sister-in-law, there are not many things at home, you see that these sweet potatoes are enough." ”
The sweet potatoes in the basket are level with the basket, and you can count them at a glance, this Wang really doesn't have a long memory, and he was beaten by Cheng Xiangzi last night, so he made a mistake again.
Cheng Xiangzi didn't make a sound, glanced at it and turned around and went out of the house, and when he came back, he picked up a large basket of sweet potatoes, Wang's face was green, but he was still taboo, so he could only stomp his feet and turn around and go out.
"Second brother, I'm sorry for you. Zhang bit her lip, in fact, she knew that the second brother went out to pick up sweet potatoes again, and when she thought of the woman's thin body, she didn't call anyone.
"Sister-in-law, our Cheng family can't stand you, don't worry, the eldest brother is gone, and there is me. Cheng Xiangzi was honest, and he didn't say anything, and when he heard the Wang family calling him outside, he turned around and went out.
I heard Wang complaining in the outhouse, "You don't care about yourself, and you have to think about your sister-in-law's reputation, what is the matter with your little brother-in-law going to your sister-in-law's house." ”
At this time, the Wang family knew the rules, and Peach Blossom sneered.
Zhang's face turned white, but she was afraid that her daughter would see it, so she forced a smile and squatted down to pick up sweet potatoes, "Peach blossom, my mother will cook now." ”
It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, looking at this dilapidated home, the mother and daughter who are helpless and bound by feudalism, how easy is it to live this life, but Zhang's weak appearance stung the peach blossoms fiercely, no matter what, she must let Zhang's live a good life.
In her last life, she was a college student from the countryside, and she hadn't repaid her parents well, so in this life, she must let Zhang's family live a good life.
The first breakfast of the family was eaten in the afternoon, because the stove on the east side had not been burned, so it had been smoking after the fire, and Mrs. Cheng scolded a few words over there, and was later drunk by Cheng Laohan, which was regarded as not making a sound.
After being smoked for half an hour, he finally stopped smoking and could cook again, Zhang's face was full of ash, Peach Blossom looked distressed and went over to help light the fire, Zhang smiled and said that his daughter was good, while putting the good sweet potato pieces in the pot, and the nest head of the steamed cornmeal on the top drawer.
When the aroma of corn came out, Peach Blossom couldn't help but suck the breath in her mouth, she was really hungry, not to mention that it was still this kind of time when she could see it but not eat, and people couldn't help but be hungry even more.
When Zhang lifted the pot, Wang also walked in from outside with Cheng Lin on time.
"I want to eat, I want to eat" Cheng Lin went directly to the pot.
Wang also glanced into the pot, his eyes moved slightly, and his voice was strange, "Yo, sister-in-law has made a nest, just look at it." ”
In the past, the Zhang family would definitely say that the Wang family would try it.
But today, Wang didn't expect that there would be peach blossoms, or she didn't know that peach blossoms had already changed.
"Mother, I'm hungry, hurry up, otherwise the second aunt will make food for a while, and I will be hungry." Peach Blossom pulled the Zhang family, so that the Zhang family also forgot to pay attention to the Wang family.
"Okay, let's eat now. When Zhang picked up the nest head, he still didn't forget to give Cheng Lin one.
Wang Shi looked angry, walked over and twisted Cheng Lin's ears, "I haven't seen anything to eat in my life, you starved to death." ”
Turning around and talking to Zhang's family, he was also angry, "Sister-in-law, the family is also divided, you can save a little, and we only have enough cornmeal to drink porridge." ”
In other words, don't expect to come and borrow when you run out of food.
Zhang smiled faintly, "Brother and sister, don't worry, even if Peach Blossom and I starve to death, we can't snatch food from my father's mouth." ”
Mrs. Westinghouse Cheng also scolded, "I only know how to break my mouth all day, and I don't cook dinner soon." ”
In the countryside, especially in winter, every family has an old meal, and there is no work anyway, so they don't need physical strength, and they can save a meal of food.
Wang's face was not good, he glared fiercely, turned around and took Cheng Lin into the house, and when Cheng Lin entered the house, he didn't forget to turn around and stick out his tongue at Peach Blossom.
When she entered the East House, where did the Zhang family still eat, Peach Blossom knew that she was angry because of Wang's words, and she was also worried about the future, so she diverted her attention and put a nest head into Zhang's hands.
"Mother, you eat too, I want to be with my mother, a child without a mother is a grass. ”
Zhang nodded vigorously after hearing this, and regained his fighting spirit, "Yes, my mother wants to be good, and there are peach blossoms." ”
Peach Blossom bites the head of the nest, but she knows in her heart that she has to make money immediately, otherwise she is afraid that she will really starve to death.
