Chapter 031: Extra Meals
Liu Xiaping pursed her lips, ignoring Lin Cuihua's anger at all, lowered her head and began to pack her clothes.
Last night, her sister wetted the bed again, it was hot in summer, and the smell of urine made her uncomfortable, looking at the map marks on the sheets, Liu Xiaping was also angry.
I don't know how many days I haven't washed it!
After packing up her clothes, her parents and younger brother's, and putting them in an iron basin, Liu Xiaping went to the river to clean up her clothes.
In the past few days that she has been gone, there is obviously no one at home to wash clothes, and the two old men are okay, but her mother and Liu Xiaxiu don't wash their own clothes, and she is angry when she sees it.
She also understands that people are waiting for her to come back and wash it!
The summer sweatshirts were piled together with a sour smell, and the family was reluctant to spend money on a piece of soap, so Liu Xiaping brought a bag of plant ash.
Luckily, there were no grease stains on the clothes, so they were easy to clean.
"Sister Ping, is it fun in the city?"
When Liu Xiaping was washing clothes, she ran into her cousin Liu Xiahe and several other cousins, knowing that she had just come back from outside, they were all very curious, and their eyes were full of longing for the outside world.
Liu Xiaping shook her head and replied while washing her clothes, "What's so fun, I'm moving goods every day, and I don't have time to go out at all, but the city is very big, and there are many tall houses, which are much better than the mud houses we have here." ”
"Really! I'd love to go out and see it too! ”
For the girls in Zhao's hometown, the brick houses in the town have already made them very greedy, and the children who have never been out in their lives don't know what the tall houses outside look like.
Liu Xiaping smiled, her cousins were curious, and she said happily.
The lives of the female babies of their generation are all miserable, except for her sister Liu Xiaxiu, who found a lawyer husband, and the rest of them are basically dragged down by their mother's family all their lives.
After all, a female baby like Liu Xiahe who marries away from home and never comes back for the rest of her life is a minority.
Looking at the curiosity in her cousins' eyes, Liu Xiaping was a little sad, and deliberately told them a lot of stories about her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law outside, and her mother's house, just hoping that her cousins would be able to gain more knowledge, and don't be pinched in the palm of her parents when she gets married in the future.
A dozen clothes were quickly washed, and the cousins listened to it with relish, talking about their opinions.
"Anyway, I think what the aunt said is very right, we women must find an honest one when we marry in the future, and it depends on the character of the man's parents, if we are in charge of our own family in the future, we can't always subsidize the mother's family, otherwise the mother-in-law's house will definitely not feel comfortable!"
Although Liu Xiahe is not very old, she can speak in a set way.
Liu Xiaping said with a smile, "No matter what you say, this life is always our own, and we can't live for our parents all our lives, right?" It's hard enough for us to be daughters, if we continue to be bitter after we get married, this life won't be interesting, okay, I'm done washing, and I'll go back first. ”
The little cousins also stood up with pots in their hands, and went back to their respective homes thoughtfully.
When she got home and dried her clothes, Liu Xiaping calculated the time, and the notice would arrive at school in about two days, and the township mayor would come over to inform her to get the notice, this time she would not be so stupid to take the notice home again, if it was burned again, she would have to cry to death.
"Eldest sister, are you back?"
Liu Xiaobin had just touched a lot of small fish, and when he saw Liu Xiaping, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted happily.
When Liu Xiaping came back yesterday, he had already slept to death, and when he got up in the morning, no one said that the eldest sister had returned, and it was estimated that he was the last person in the township to know.
Liu Xiaping nodded, raised her hand and touched her brother's head, before frowning and saying, "Why have you lost so much weight?" ”
Liu Xiaobin smiled, there was no need for him to say, Liu Xiaping also knew that it was probably because her grandmother's house was not full at all.
Thinking that she was going to go to her grandmother's house for dinner as soon as she got home, Liu Xiaping, who was used to living a free life during this time, was a little congested, and she felt distressed again when she saw her younger brother lose weight into a bamboo pole.
"Come on, let's go, sister will give you more food!"
Thinking that she still had food hidden, Liu Xiaping simply spoke directly.
Although it's almost time for lunch, I can't eat enough anyway, so it's better to pad my stomach first.
Returning to her house and digging out the grain, Liu Xiaping looked around secretly, and made sure that Liu Xiaxiu was not there, so she beckoned to her brother, and then pulled him directly into the forest.
"Sister, what is this?"
Seeing Liu Xiaping holding the bamboo tube, Liu Xiaobin looked dazed.
Liu Xiaping opened the bamboo tube with a smile and showed him the contents inside, and sure enough, this kid was shocked, "This is rice?" ”
"Yes, I'll lend you a bamboo tube to cook rice, let's eat the bottom of the mat first."
Liu Xiaping grinned, the most important thing in the forest was dry firewood, and it didn't take long for a fire to be made.
After washing the rice, adding water and boiling it in a bamboo tube, Liu Xiaping went to the field to pick some green vegetables, washed them and tore them into pieces and put them in it, and after a while, the smell of rice wafted in the forest.
Liu Xiaobin sniffed, swallowed saliva, and his stomach growled.
Liu Xiaping smiled, added some firewood, and after about ten minutes, it took about ten minutes to dig it out with a branch, and threw the bamboo tube to her younger brother, "Eat it, although it doesn't taste good, but you can fill your stomach anyway, and my sister will make you another meal in the evening." ”
Liu Xiaobin bit his lip and looked at the rice in the bamboo tube, "Sister, where did all this food come from?" ”
"Sister hid it before leaving, there are a lot of them, you can eat them quickly." Liu Xiaping also fished out a bamboo tube herself, opened it and ate it with chopsticks, although there was no food, it was also very fragrant.
Liu Xiaobin looked at the bamboo rice, his eyes were a little red, and he didn't say much, and he ate it with his head bored.
Liu Xiaping made four bamboo rice, and Liu Xiaobin killed three by himself.
Looking at his younger brother's gobbling up, remembering that the family of three yesterday ate eggs behind his back, Liu Xiaping sighed lightly and touched her brother's head, "Silly boy, when will you learn to be smart." ”
Liu Xiaobin puffed out his face and ate energetically, and when he heard this, he laughed again.
Liu Xiaping shook her head helplessly, she actually understood very well that her younger brother was not really honest, but he was too filial, and this kind of temperament would not improve until he married his brother and daughter-in-law in the future.
Thinking of the fierce brother and daughter-in-law, Liu Xiaping also laughed, although she has a big temperament, but she is very straightforward, like is like, hate is hate, only with such a woman, her younger brother will not suffer for a lifetime.
The sisters and brothers were eating happily, and when they were about to pack up and go home, they didn't expect to stand up as soon as they saw Liu Xiaxiu not far away, and this girl was looking at them with an aggrieved face.
