Chapter 171: Little Radish
"No, where have you been again, come out quickly, grandma brought you a little radish back." ”
The mage was about to do this, when he heard a panting voice from outside, as if he had done some heavy physical work, "Fresh little radish, it's delicious." Grandma washed you by the river just now, come out and eat. ”
After a while, he glanced at the mage, a little nervous, he missed his father's mother, he never let his grandmother know, just afraid that she would be sad.
Originally, it was already very hard for the two of them to depend on each other, and if she knew it again, he still longed to see his father and mother in his heart, which would make her so sad.
He waved his little hand to signal the mage to hide quickly, and then he panicked and hid the bowl behind the water tank, "Hey, grandma, I'm here." ”
Seeing that the mage was hiding, he ran into the courtyard with small steps.
Because of the hot weather, the old lady was sitting under a big jujube tree in the yard at this time, picking vegetables, her forehead was still oozing with beads of sweat, beside her was a basket of vegetables, and some radishes were placed on top of the leeks next to her.
The big ones are as thick as two fingers, and the small ones are as thick as the thumbs, and they are clean and have no dirt at all.
Seeing that it didn't come out at any time, the old lady said happily, "Go and wash your hands, this radish is delicious." ”
Nodding slightly, I still remember the fairy sister in their house, this is the first time that the fairy sister has come to their house, thinking of their family with four walls, I don't know if the fairy sister will be willing to help him realize his wish after seeing it.
He had nothing to give her, and nothing to help her.
"What are you stupid about, hurry up and eat, it's delicious. ”
The old lady smiled and didn't find anything unusual about her grandson, children, what can happen, except for eating and playing, digging out birds' nests, catching small fish, but the grandson doesn't play with the children in the village, and she is not worried about what will happen to him.
I just feel that this child is a little lonely, but she is an old lady and has nothing to do, but to let him eat and drink well, of course, to do her best.
I took a bite of the little radish, crunchy, sweet with a little bit of spicy, looking at the happiness on his face, the old lady was happy, "There are also cucumbers, grandma will fry them for you later, and then eat, I'm afraid you will have diarrhea if you eat cold." ”
She planted her own vegetable garden, but the vegetables in it were only enough for her grandparents and grandchildren.
"It's delicious. ”
"Delicious!"
After eating a turnip, he looked at his grandmother again, and when he saw that his grandmother was picking vegetables, he also reached out his little hand to help.
The mage saw all this in the room, she took an invisible pill, and walked around the dilapidated hut, which could really be said to be empty, except for a broken wooden table that could no longer be broken, and a large iron pot, and a water tank with half a tank of water.
She reached out and lifted a washed yellowed cloth, covered the dishes, and saw half a bowl of radish pickles, and a small half bowl of porridge, and the only bit of dry food, which was half a piece of bread.
I don't know what kind of dough this cake is made of, but it's black anyway.
"Hey, you stay home later, I'll go get some buckets of water and come back. ”
As she spoke, the old lady put down a handful of picked vegetables, "I'll stew some vegetable soup for you in a while, and see if you're not nutritious, you won't grow any longer." ”
When the mage heard this, he stretched out his hand and recited a few incantations, and the water in the jar was full.
She can still do such a small thing, but she thinks that this grandfather and grandson are too pitiful, and the old ones will get older and older in the future, how should the little ones take care of her.
This child also doesn't read, can't read, what will he do in the future.
Staying in this village for the past few days, she also generally understands the background of this era, which is another era that has left no traces in history, and an unknown small dilapidated village, where children do not go to school or study.
When I grew up, I went to the fields to do farm work and grow crops, and this is how the family spent their lives.
It seems simple, there is nothing particularly sad and no surprises.
But this is a time when there is no famine, and in a year of famine, it is not uncommon for people to die of starvation.
At this time, it was no different from modern times, there were machines for growing crops, fertilizers, and various new varieties with high yields. At this time, the land was barren, there was no chemical fertilizer or anything like that, and the yield of the food grown was very low.
They rely on God to eat, the wind and rain are good throughout the year, and the harvest time is the happiest time for them.
Of course, there will also be years of famine, floods with heavy rains, and drought periods when there is no rain, and those who can survive at that time have suffered great sins.
"Grandma, why don't I go to the river to catch some fish and come back, I heard that eating fish soup is very replenishing. ”
Speaking of this, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, yes he wanted to eat fish, especially the last time the fairy sister conjured up so many delicious things for him, since he ate them, he knew what things tasted like, and he would often miss that feeling.
"Don't go, you forgot what I told you. There are water ghosts in the water, and they are looking for those who are not afraid of death, and go into the water to be substitutes for the dead ghosts. When others die, they can survive. ”
When the old lady said this, not to mention how much she complained, as if she had seen it, what she said was quite scary.
The mage believed in these things, though, but she knew it wasn't a water ghost.
Look at the food of the two ancestors and grandchildren, the mage really doesn't know what to say, how good the children in the society now eat, and they are picky and anorexic every day, milk juice and these drinks, in ancient times, these children didn't even think about it.
Hamburger pizza, these children are unlikely to have the opportunity to eat these things, the mage wants to let them taste it, but she is powerless, there is no food in the space, and even if she wants to make it for him, there are no materials.
If she travels back, when she comes back, it may not be this era, and many things are missed, just for a lifetime.
"Okay, you're staying at home now, grandma is going to fetch water. ”
In the courtyard, the old lady had already chosen a basket of vegetables, she stood up, walked to the bucket, took up two large wooden buckets, hooked one of them with a flat pole to carry water, and staggered out to fetch water.
While the old lady was carrying water, the mage hurried out of the house, the old lady's house lived at the front of the village, and there were no neighbors around, so the mage swaggered here, and he didn't worry about being seen by anyone.
