Chapter 11: Fire

Hearing that the outhouse was quiet, there was the sound of Cheng Lao'er and his family entering the house to laugh, so it could be seen that it was breakfast.

Zhang's got up just now, because it was cold in the house, and the mother and mother never took off their clothes to sleep, but after getting up, they couldn't help but shiver when they were greeted by the air conditioning in the house.

"You lie down first, and your mother will cook and bring it to the bed to eat," Zhang tucked the quilt for his daughter.

Peach Blossom sat up, "I'll cook with my mother." ”

This side of the house is so cold, obviously the opinion is that the stove here has not been lit, there is no life in the winter, the first life will definitely be difficult, it is likely to be blocked.

And Zhang's temperament is too weak, and she will have to divide the things in the family for a while, and she is not on the side, for fear that she will be bullied by others again.

couldn't twist his daughter, Zhang smiled and took the shoes and put them on for his daughter, "Let's eat sweet potato porridge in the morning, is it okay for my mother to put a whole sweet potato today?"

Thinking that every time her daughter eats porridge, she is scolded by her mother-in-law for wanting to eat more sweet potato, Zhang's heart is sour, and now that the family is separated, her daughter can eat as much as she wants, and she doesn't have to be angry.

The mother and daughter had their own thoughts, and when they arrived at the outhouse, they looked at the steaming stove opposite, and the laughter in the house, which was much more pitiful compared to the coldness here.

Zhang bit his lip, pulled the peach blossom and walked over, did not enter the house, only stood outside the door and spoke, "Mother, I will get food and seeds for next year." ”

On the stove on the east side, there were already some pots and chopsticks for cooking, which were obviously divided by Mrs. Cheng in the morning, but there was only a lack of food and winter vegetables.

There was obvious silence in the west room, and then Mrs. Cheng's unhappy voice came, "Can you starve to death later?" There is only half a bag of cornmeal at home, according to the head of the mouth, I will send you a pot in a while, and the seeds will be used in spring, what are you anxious to do now? Are you afraid that we will not be able to covet your little seeds?"

Obviously, there is still nearly a bag of cornmeal at home, and there is only a pot of cornmeal, how can she and her daughter survive this winter? Could it be that they really want to starve to death?

Zhang's hand tightly pulled the corner of his clothes, "Mother, I see that there is still a bag of sweet potatoes in our house, I will pick up a pot first, a pot of jade noodles is not enough for me and the peach blossoms to eat in winter, I think that the seeds can be eaten as grain for a while, and when I plant the land, I am borrowing some seeds from the people in the village." ”

"Even the seeds are remembered, the starving ghosts are born, they can't do anything all day, they only know how to eat" Mrs. Cheng scolded dissatisfiedly when she heard this, "Why is a pot of cornmeal not enough to eat?"

"Okay," Cheng Laohan shouted, "Peach Blossom Girl, you pick up two pots of sweet potatoes first, eat breakfast with Peach Blossom first, and I'll bring you the seeds later." ”

Mrs. Cheng was dissatisfied, it can be seen that the old man has spoken, and he is not speaking, Wang is still swollen with half of his face, and after being beaten by Cheng Xiangzi last night, he is much more honest.

In the past few years, the Wang family has been married, and she is used to being top-notch, and the man is honest, and she has always said what she says, and it is the first time she has been beaten by a man, which is somewhat shocking.

Cheng Xiangzi put down his chopsticks in a sullen voice, and the person also stood up, "I'll go get seeds for my sister-in-law." ”

Mrs. Cheng was just about to speak, but Cheng Laohan took the words, "There are still some mung beans at home, bring some for your sister-in-law, and you can also boil some mung bean soup to cool off in the summer when it is hot." ”

"Dad, I promised my mother-in-law to give her two handfuls of mung beans as seeds," Wang listened and hurriedly took over.

Cheng Xiangzi was honest, "Didn't you take it for your sister-in-law last year?"

Wang lowered his head, "It's planted, but it's all blind in the ground." ”

In fact, it was eaten when it was taken, after all, Wang's exaggerated words should be given, there is no need to plant at home Every year, she takes back some enough to eat at home in the summer, and in their place, mung beans can only be eaten as mung bean cake and mung bean porridge, and there is no use for it.

Mrs. Cheng snapped her chopsticks, "You are a member of the Cheng family when you marry, what's the matter if you always go to your mother's house to get something?" Although mung beans are not worth much, they can be sold for a penny a catty, where is our family in the right place to help others." ”

Wang bit his lip, his mother-in-law who took food from her mother's house didn't say anything, and now she only said that she took it to her mother's house, and she didn't dare to say it when she was dissatisfied, Cheng Xiangzi turned around and went out.

"Okay, it's just two handfuls of mung beans" Cheng Laohan got up and walked out, "Xiangzi daughter-in-law, come over too, take some mung beans, and wait for you to go back to your parents' house to bring them back, you have to do it if you promise people, our old Cheng family is poor but can't be the one who talks big." ”

Only then did Wang stand up.

Old Mrs. Cheng snorted coldly, and didn't say much, so Wang smiled and went out of the house with a smile.
