The hen in the cage outside the house clucked and clucked to the sound of the rain.

Liu Xiaping sat in front of the bed, staring blankly at the heavy rain outside, unable to ease up for a while.

She had just breathed in the hospital, but when she opened her eyes again, how did she end up in this strange and familiar room?

In her impression, only when she was young, there would be such houses in the countryside, but later the days got better and better, and every family of mud houses were torn down and rebuilt, and brick houses were built, even if it rained, there would be no mud everywhere.

Stunned, she raised her hand, and through the humble window, she could still see her hand with cuts and calluses.

It was a complete pair of hands, covered with thin wounds, but the fingers were still on them, not the crippled hands that she remembered as thin and missing four fingers.

I have the impression that only until she was seventeen years old, her hands were still intact.

On her seventeenth birthday, she will always remember the pain of the brazier hitting her hand.

After being taken to the health center, it didn't take long for her to have only her thumb left on her right hand, and only half of her other fingers left.

But now, her hand is still intact.

Realizing this, Liu Xiaping suddenly stood up and looked at the room where she was staying.

The light inside the room was dim, but you could still see what was inside.

Except for the simple wooden bed she had just sat on, a large wooden table by the window, and a wooden cabinet with clothes in the corner, the rest were all kinds of miscellaneous items.

A few pairs of straw sandals hung from the beams above, and the dried buds were stripped of leaves and tied together in a lump and hung at the door, along with red peppers.

The room is very small, only about 10 square meters, but it is divided into two floors.

The second floor was made of three stout dry logs, and the two ends were attached to the earthen walls, on which were placed several planks, which could not be used for human habitation, but which could be used for some potatoes.

There is also a homemade wooden ladder next to it.

That's what she used to do when she was at home.

Liu Xiaping stepped on the ladder, stepped on it step by step and looked at it, and sure enough, the potatoes were placed on it.

Coming down from the ladder, Liu Xiaping was still a little stunned, is she back?

Died in the hospital, reborn back in the past?

But before she could think about it, the wooden door of the house was suddenly kicked open, and her father, who was much younger, was glaring at her angrily, scolding non-stop: "How did you become the boss of this dead girl, it's late this day and you don't know how to come out to cook, and you learn lazy bones from your mother, right?" With a black face all day long, like I owe you money, what are you doing there? Get out there and cook! ”

The man snorted, kicked the crumbling door again, and then turned and walked away.

Liu Xiaping pursed her lips and hurriedly followed out and entered the stove room.

The fire on the stove had not yet burned, and the room was full of firewood as I remembered.

Her mother, Lin Cuihua, glanced at her, her face was still red and swollen that had not gone away, and she knew that she had been beaten out at a glance.

"Let's cook, your father wants to eat sauerkraut, remember to get it out, so as not to get angry again after staying for a while."

After saying this, he took a bud grain bun and nibbled on it, and then walked out.

Liu Xiaping didn't say anything, sat on a small wooden stool in front of the stove and began to start a fire with a plastic skin.

When the light of the stove lit up the dim stove, she began to think carefully about what had happened during this time.

Her hands are still fine, which means that she is not yet seventeen years old, but she doesn't know how old she is now, and she doesn't know if she doesn't have a calendar, so many things can be sure.

When the fire really burned, Liu Xiaping put on the cauldron and began to boil water, his father Liu Guowei's favorite food is sauerkraut, but this is also because the family is poor and there is nothing good to eat, so he can only eat this.

While it was time to boil the water, she opened the cupboard and looked at it, and there were large bowls with missing mouths, there were eight in total, two of them, one with eggs and the other with pickled sauerkraut.

Under the cabinet was a white bag of flour, but the rice was not visible.

However, she remembered that in the early years, the rice at home was placed on the side of the barn, so she walked out directly, went to the barn, and sure enough, she found a jar with rice.

The rice at home is all made from their own millet, but they are all old rice left over from last year, and the rice for the New Year is divided by the team, so they are reluctant to eat it, so they naturally want to take it out and sell it, and then buy some coarse grains as rations for the remaining months.

Lin Cuihua said just now that her father wanted to eat sauerkraut, Liu Xiaping thought about it, and simply didn't move the rice in the tank, returned to the stove room and took out some white noodles, stirred them into a paste with water, beat an egg into it, and made a big pot, waiting for the water in the big iron pot to boil, and then used a chopstick to row the ramen fish into the water one by one.

The fish are all long strips, and when they touch the boiling water, they quickly float to the noodles.

Liu Xiaping is used to doing work, and the speed of rolling the fish is also very fast, and it didn't take long for a large bowl of batter to be put into the pot, and then she put the lid on the pot and waited for the fish to cook.

A large pot was boiling noodles and fish, and Liu Xiaping boiled another pot dry and took out the sea bowl with sauerkraut.

Put a small spoonful of lard in the pot, and when it is cooked, pour half of the sauerkraut.

The sauerkraut is finely chopped and pickled, she took a big shovel and fried it, at this time there is no seasoning at home, but with sauerkraut, it can be regarded as seasoning, and it will be fragrant after a while.

took out the remaining five large bowls from the cupboard and put the fried sauerkraut into them, one of the large bowls had the most sauerkraut, and it was also her father Liu Guowei's.

At this time, the noodle fish was almost cooked, so Liu Xiaping took a big spoon and scooped it up one by one.

Two of the bowls contained significantly more fish than the other three.

After this was done, she went to the hall and called for someone to come and serve the bowl.

"Xiaobin, Xiaxiu, come to the stove room and serve the bowl, the rice is ready."

Liu Xiaping stood at the door of the hall, looked at the people sitting inside, and left numbly after saying such a sentence, as if she had not yet recovered her senses.

In the late 70s and early 80s, life was tight for every family in the countryside, like their Liu family, who raised several children, and life was even more difficult.

Not to mention that my father is a lazy man and a good drinker, and my mother is also a lazy woman, preferring to be beaten rather than work.

She is the eldest in the family, and she has been doing the work at home since she was sensible, that is, from that time on, her mother was finally able to be liberated, completely ignoring her young age, and just left all the work at home to her.

Liu Xiaping entered the stove room and brought her father's bowl first, Liu Guowei snorted coldly, and when he saw them bring the remaining bowls, his face looked better, and he picked up chopsticks and ate it.

Because of the poverty of the family, he gobbled up everything he ate, especially his younger brother Liu Xiaobin, who was always hungry when he was growing up.

Although Liu Xiaping was in a complicated mood and had no appetite, she also knew that the food at this time was not easy to come by, so she had to finish it.

When the family of five finished dinner, no one moved.

"Why don't you go wash the dishes, why are you sitting here, waiting for the old lady to serve you?" Lin Cuihua glared at her and said dissatisfied.

Liu Xiaping pursed her lips, glanced at her younger brothers and sisters who were already older, and said lightly: "Xiaxiu is also big, it's time to work, today's bowl will be washed in Xiaxiu." ”

Liu Xiaobin is the male in the family, and she has to go to work during the day, so she naturally can't instruct, but Xiaxiu is different, she stays at home all day and doesn't work, she didn't raise it well when she was born, she has been sick and lazy every time she has worked for so many years, and she has been calculating and calculating all day long, she was too soft-hearted in her last life, so she raised a white-eyed wolf.

Because of Liu Xiaxiu's body, coupled with her sweet mouth and ability to speak, her parents have always preferred her, which even the only brother in the family can't compare, so as soon as she said this, the two of them really quit.

Liu Guowei slapped directly on the table, and glared at her fiercely with a tiger face: "How can your sister do these rough jobs if she is not in good health?" What's wrong with you washing the dishes, didn't you always wash the dishes before? Now that my wings are stiff, I don't want to work, I want to be as lazy as your mother, don't you? Lao Tzu won't get used to you, get out of here and wash the dishes! ”

Lin Cuihua also looked like why you are so ruthless: "Xiaxiu's body has only been a few days, you just want to torture your sister like this, why are you so ruthless in your sister's mind!" If Xia Xiu falls ill after touching the cold water, you will pay for it! I'm the boss, and I'm so calculating, so much so that our Xiaxiu still calls you sister! ”

Liu Xiaxiu obviously didn't expect her sister to ask herself to wash the dishes, although the conditions at home are not good, but she has been a sick seedling since she was a child, and she can be regarded as being pampered and raised, so that calling the eldest sister has become a habit, but she has done a good job on the face.

After all, the children of other families have to work, and her daughter who doesn't do anything is very rare.

knew that she couldn't do it with her eldest sister, but Liu Xiaxiu also had her own careful thoughts, so she said timidly: "Parents, why don't I wash this bowl today, my eldest sister is very tired from working on weekdays, and it's okay for me to wash the dishes once." ”

Liu Xiaping looked at her expressionlessly, and it wasn't until she relived her life that she could see what this girl was playing tricks on weekdays.

Relying on the favor of his parents, he made a sensible appearance on his face, but in the end, he would only be more protected by his parents.

Sure enough, the next moment Lin Cuihua had already stood up, and ordered angrily: "Wash a fart, this bowl is what your eldest sister should wash, I want to be lazy, why do I want Xiaxiu to work, I am so heavy at a young age, what else do I want to do besides eating, are you the uncle of our family in the future, we have to offer you as an ancestor!" ”
