There are still two or three days before the New Year, the Zhang family was hungry again for a long time, Hu Xiujuan never came back, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Xiao borrowed food from the village chief once, if the daily porridge is saved, it is no problem to survive until the New Year, but the Zhang family and the Xiao family are not worry-free, and all the food is eaten clean the day before the New Year.

This time, Mrs. Zhang took the whole family to the Hu family to borrow grain, saying that it was borrowing, but in fact, it was a meat bun beating a dog and no return, the Zhang family took Hu Xiujuan and Wei Ping's unclear things to force the Hu family to borrow food, if in the past, the Hu family quarreled, or many or less would borrow some, but this will be enough for the Hu family, and they will not borrow, and they will not borrow it, and they will say that the water spilled by the married daughter-in-law, the Zhang family can't manage the daughter-in-law and complain about others.

Mrs. Zhang was so angry that she didn't make a pound and a half of food for a long time, and finally went back hungry and cold.

As soon as she got home, Mrs. Zhang asked people everywhere to go to the town to find Hu Xiujuan, but the road was closed by heavy snow outside, and no one wanted to go, so she took out all the family money and wanted to buy some food in the village secretly.

But this year, the food of every family is not enough, no one has spare grain to sell, after running a few to no avail, Mrs. Zhang paid attention to Lin Qing again, and wanted Zhang Tao to coax people out, and then let Zhang Fusheng say good things and pretend to be pitiful.

Mrs. Zhang thought very well, but Lin Qing was not a real child, not to mention that after so many things, the old lady looked at Lin Qing very strictly, especially to prevent her from contacting the Zhang family, and the Zhang Tao sisters couldn't even enter the courtyard gate of the Lin family, let alone coax people out.

On the morning of the twenty-ninth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, seeing that the whole family wanted to drink the northwest wind together at the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the evening, Mrs. Zhang had to ask the Lin family with a thick face, and the whole village wanted to say that there was idle food, and the Lin family was this family.

But the old lady was a grudge, and she didn't even let the door in, and just blew people away.

In the end, the old village chief relented and helped again, and collected some food from the brigade to lend to the Zhang family. As for the Xiao family, the family was embarrassed to borrow food everywhere, so they hid behind Mrs. Zhang to pick up ready-made, anyway, as long as Mrs. Zhang borrowed food, could she still give them food?

Who would have thought that this time Mrs. Zhang really didn't give them food.

Zhang Fusheng carried the grain back, and Mrs. Zhang hid the grain in the big cabinet in her own room, and locked it with an old lock at home.

The key is hung on Mrs. Zhang's neck, when it is time to cook, she personally unlocks the lock and takes the food, takes as much as she wants, and no longer cares about the daily eating and drinking of the Xiao family's five people, and even a few granddaughters have to have a small bowl of porridge every day, which is so rare that it can shine brightly, Mrs. Zhang's original words are: starve and die!

When it came to the meal, the five members of the Xiao family stared at the Zhang family to eat, and wanted to open their mouths several times but were choked back by Mrs. Zhang's crying, and they were almost hungry for a day.

Wang Hongxia held her daughter in her arms in distress, angry and hated the Zhang family's approach, but she was so helpless that she didn't dare to make trouble.

Originally, they were borrowed, no money or food, and if they lived in vain, they didn't give a bite to eat, and no one could find fault with them.

Staying up until it was dark, the cold and hungry Mrs. Xiao finally pulled down her face, sat in the borrowed west room and quarreled with Wang Hongxia for a few words, and asked her to go to the village to borrow some food and come back.

Wang Hongxia didn't agree, she is a woman, and she is a foreigner, plus what happened when she married Xiao Yi, no one in the village is willing to look at her now, if she hadn't scattered all her family wealth, I am afraid that she will be dragged to criticize as soon as she returns to the village. At this time of the Chinese New Year, let her run to borrow food? It is tantamount to coming to the door to let people practice! It is also a loss for the old woman to come up with it.

"Why don't you go by yourself? You have lived in this village for most of your life, and you are not more familiar with every household than me? With these decades of friendship, how can you borrow a few dozen catties of grain to come back. Wang Hongxia's words were a little sarcastic, she knew her mother-in-law's personality, and there were few people in this village who were willing to pull her.

Sure enough, Mrs. Xiao's face darkened, staring at Wang Hongxia's gaze, Wang Hongxia was not afraid, she calmly patted her clothes and pulled the two girls to the kitchen to say that it was a roasting fire, warm and warm, and if the food was not eaten, this firewood would never be used again.

Out of the house, the door of the Zhangjiatang house in the north has been closed, and there is no light in the house, I am afraid that I will go to bed early at this time, Wang Hongxia glanced at some thoughts in her heart, but thought about it and temporarily suppressed it.

Groping in the kitchen and lighting a fire, Wang Hongxia asked the two daughters to block the kitchen door, and then quietly dug out two large sweet potatoes in a corner.

"Mom secretly hid it, don't say anything about it, cook it and divide it, so you can pad it a little. Wang Hongxia whispered a few words, and at the same time washed the sweet potatoes from the water tank with very light hands and feet, without peeling the skin, and then took a knife and cut it into small pieces and threw it into the pot with half a pot of water.

Xiao Mei and Xiao Rong rarely helped, and the sisters who had been hungry for a day happily carried firewood to make a fire, and the two of them followed their mother's example, their movements were very light, and they didn't make any sound.

As for Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Yi, who were also hungry in the West House, none of the mother and daughter mentioned it.

……

When it was dark, the sky was snowing again, and every house in the village was blinded by black lights, and I was afraid that I would close the door early and go to bed, and Chinese New Year's Eve was not even a little New Year's Smell, and it was very cold.

The Lin family also followed the trend this year to keep a low profile, the old lady of the door link in previous years did not get it at all this year, but still made a new dress for each person in the family, and did not save the Chinese New Year's Eve meal, and closed the courtyard door to avoid people when it was not dark and quietly prepared, saying that the family had to eat together during the New Year.

Lin Qing knew that the old lady was a little uncomfortable in her heart, and she was a helper who walked around in front of the old lady early in the morning, and she secretly told the old lady about the auspicious words, and according to the old lady's wishes, she took a lot of good things from the space, and the old lady finally had a lot of joy, and chattered happily in the kitchen: "This is a bit of a New Year's flavor." ”

But the next morning, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the old lady pulled down her face again, no one came to the door to pay New Year's greetings, and no one came to talk, only a few families quietly came to sit, and the old lady secretly prepared the New Year's money in addition to the children at home, and the rest was not given.

Fortunately, when it was almost noon, a few children who knew that the old lady had melon seeds and peanuts to eat came over to make trouble for a while, and the old lady smiled and packed a lot, and even gave a few hot dumplings in the morning. (To be continued.) )
