Chapter 5 There is something to eat

I opened all the things on it, and saw six neatly arranged, full cloth bags, took out a cloth bag, opened it, and saw that it was rice, each bag of rice weighed fifty catties, although the rice was not so white, a little yellow. It's not rotten when it's buried in the soil, and it's good to preserve it like this.

We are located in the north and do not grow rice, so at first I thought it was wheat, but I didn't expect it to be rice. These rice were so precious that it must have cost a lot of money to buy them at the time.

These six bags of rice are enough for my mother-in-law and me to eat for two years, plus the annual harvest, and we will not be hungry in the future.

"Hey, hey, rice, food, hey" The mother-in-law saw that Mi Xiao's wrinkles came out.

"Hehe, yes, it's rice, this time we have something to eat, I'll make you rice at noon today." After saying that, I took out the bags of rice, took it outside to dry, and then put it in the cabinet and hid it after drying. There are two people in the family, my mother-in-law, this rice should be hidden and eaten so that no one can know, otherwise there will be danger, there will be some idlers in every village, lazy people, do some things like stealing chickens and dogs, if they know that this rice will definitely be gone.

After taking all the six bags of rice, I was also tired and sweaty, and my health was still very bad and needed to be well nourished.

After there is no rice in the box, I look at the bottom of the box and feel strange, there seems to be something inside?

Lying on the ground, one hand held the side, one hand reached down, took the grass on the top of the "ho" box there is a layer of golden things under the box, take out a piece and look at it carefully, this should be a gold brick, right? Each piece is the size of a palm, one finger thick, six fingers wide, each piece has more than half a catty and sinks, and there is a total of 24 pieces under the box.

I only know that the ancestor of the Sun family has several shops in the county, but he doesn't know what kind of business he is doing, since he can save so much gold.

Ancestors saved this gold for future generations, hoping that their children and grandchildren would have a good life. But in the previous life, none of us took what my mother-in-law said seriously, we just thought she was crazy.

If I hadn't come back from my old age, I wouldn't have been so patient with my mother-in-law, and the gold would still not have appeared in this life.

I always thought that in my previous life, I only owed my children, but it turned out that it was not, I thought that taking care of a crazy mother-in-law to keep her fed and clothed was filial piety.

Since the age of 19, I have been married to the Sun family and have taken care of my mother-in-law for more than ten years, and I have never listened carefully to what my mother-in-law is saying in those years, even if she talks to me, she rarely answers, and I have always felt that she is already a fool and tells her so much, she will not understand.

It is only from the life that I understand that filial piety is not so simple. The fact that I can come back to life shows that everything in this world is variable.

How do you know that you didn't have it in the previous life, but you have it in this life, this is my reward for my mother-in-law's patience.

……

The child's cry interrupted my reflections. Looking outside, it was noon, and the mother-in-law sat down under her tree again, looking at her treasure. He hurriedly put the gold back at the bottom of the chest and covered it with grass, and no one could say anything about it for the time being, and he would tell him when the pillar returned.

First, I fed the children and watched the two little ones fall asleep. I went to the field to wash rice and cook, and now that I have rice at home, I will cook a few meals of rice for my mother-in-law.

Carefully write the rice three or four times with water before putting it in a pot to boil. Our cooking method here is to put the rice in a pot of water for several days, wait for the water to boil for 10 minutes, and then use a fence to take out the rice and put it in a lacquer pot. The rice soup in the pot is not wasted, put some green vegetables with a little salt, and put a little oil to cook a pot of very fragrant dishes. For the stewed vegetables in the pot below, put a pot on top to put the rice on top, cover the pot and boil (the lid used at that time was wooden, and the two semi-circular ones were put together, which was a large pot lid, which was particularly heavy. Wait five minutes for the dishes and meals to be ready.

Now it's not about gold or anything, it's important to be able to fill your stomach. Now at this time, you can't spend the gold, it's better to have food, so put the gold there and store it, and then the children will be able to use it when they grow up.

There are still ten yuan at home, this is the twenty yuan bride price given to me when I got married, I spent a few yuan this year, took out ten yuan, and sent it to Aunt Guo in the afternoon.

It's a full moon today, and according to our rules here, we will set up wine tomorrow, and my pillar is not at home, so I can only ask Aunt Guo to help Zhang Luo.

In the afternoon, I will send the money to Aunt Guo, so that the third brother of the Guo family can help me buy some meat for tomorrow, and the vegetables in the garden at home will be enough. Living in the countryside is this good, every family has a big vegetable garden, my garden has more than one acre of land, planted more than half of the potatoes and corn, the rest of the vegetables can not be eaten every year, in the autumn to dry some dried vegetables for the winter to eat, the previous garden is Aunt Guo's family to help plant and help serve, these jobs will be mine in the future, the last life has been used to it.

Smelling the aroma of the food in the pot, I suddenly had a sense of satisfaction, the two children can be healthy and healthy, and they can eat white rice to fill their stomachs, so a quiet life is also very good.

As for my husband, it was just an occasional figure that drifted through my mind, and he had been a soldier since I married him. I have lived with him for so many years in my last life, I don't even know what kind of army he is? Which unit? I only know that his military rank has been growing, but he is not at home, and there has never been love between us, and if there is anything, it is just family affection.

"Mother-in-law, lunch is ready, let's eat" walked outside and called mother-in-law back for dinner.

"Good, good, eat, rice," said the mother-in-law.

"Hehe, yes, rice, eat rice at noon today" I replied with a smile, looking at my mother-in-law like this now, I always feel that if I have more patience, she may be able to get better.

"It's delicious!" said the mother-in-law.

"It's delicious, if it's delicious, eat more. "I haven't eaten rice for a long time, so it's really fragrant to eat it. Not to mention my mother-in-law, I also ate three bowls of rice, and my mother-in-law was old and ate two and a half bowls to her heart's content. Still reluctantly looking at the rice bowl, I don't want to put down the chopsticks.

"I'll make you rice for dinner in the evening, but you have to promise me a few things, okay?" I said as I looked at my mother-in-law seriously.

Maybe seeing that my expression was very serious, my mother-in-law also nodded seriously and said, "Okay, good"

"First, we can't let others know that we have rice at home, and second, we can't talk about the baby in the future, if others know about it, they will snatch the rice and the baby, don't you say it?" I told my mother-in-law several times before she understood what I meant. Only then did he cover his mouth with a serious face and nodded in agreement.
