"Spicy chicken, braised beef, roast suckling pig, back to the pot meat, brine goose, sweet and sour pork knuckle...... my God, there are so many delicious things!" Ning Xi drooled and fell to the side of the table, picked up his chopsticks and was about to feast, when suddenly a magic voice pierced his ears: "Ning Xi!" Dead girl, when is it still a corpse, do you think you are a young lady waiting to serve? ”

The eldest aunt Qin Sulian's loud voice broke the silence of the early morning and shook off a few traces of dust on the beam, "Don't, don't!" Ning Xi waved her hands in vain to grab the delicacies that were spinning quickly in front of her, and watched them all disappear into the void, so sad that she wanted to cry, she was hungry, she was so hungry, she wanted to eat meat.

Ning Xi turned over, pulled up the quilt with only a few pieces of broken cotton wool and covered his head, according to the usual practice, he could sleep for a while!

After coming here for more than a month, Ning Xi finally learned to calculate the time according to the habit here, this time should be the beginning of the year, that is, around five o'clock in the morning, Qin Sulian's thunderous lion roar time kicked off the prelude to the day of Ning Wenzhao's family in the west of Qiuluzhuang.

"Mother! You won't be quiet, you're going to be noisy! "Cousin Ning Shuanggui has to complain as usual.

"Stinky girl, you know that you are lazy, beware of not being able to get married." Qin Sulian's voice was an octave lower, and although she was still scolding, there was a little more connivance in her tone.

"How can a mother say this about her daughter, besides, the work of the family is done by the person who eats and lives for nothing, what do you want me to do so early!"

Ning Xi knows, of course, this is to eat and live for nothing, of course, it is really unreasonable, I do the housework of your whole family, and I don't eat enough every day, it is simply abusing child labor!

Qin Sulian changed to a smiling tone: "Daughter, didn't you come to the village from the villa to pick someone today, don't you go and take a look?" ”

"Oh, I almost forgot, mother, let that dead girl hurry up and make me breakfast, this time I can't let Ma Chunlan's goblin take the lead." Being able to work in the villa is a decent way out for the people in the village, so once the villa releases a word to recruit a maid or a small maid or something, the girls and boys of the right age in the village are breaking their heads and have to fight to make it in.

Last year, Ning Shuanggui turned eleven, and he looked outstanding in the village, and he had a great hope of being selected, but he was late and was taken advantage of by Ma Chunlan and her sister Ma Chunhua, and Ning Shuanggui was so angry that he couldn't eat for several days.

Ningxi also listened to the discussion of the villagers in the past few days to know these past events, the mysterious villa in the eyes of the village people is synonymous with wealth and happiness, but as a modern person Ning Xi can not understand no matter what, the days of slavery and maidservants, what is worth yearning for.

"Ningxi! It's itchy after not banging for a few days, isn't it? Don't get out of here! Ning Xi knew that if she didn't get up again, she couldn't hide from a fried meat with bamboo shoots, so she had to get up resignedly, and put on the short coarse cloth clothes with a large section of her arms and calves exposed, she wondered if this set of clothes was worn by Ning Shuanggui when she was a child, and she gave it to her younger brother Ning Jincheng, she really couldn't wear it before it was her turn to wear it, otherwise how could it be so short, and the homespun cloth that should have been strong was almost washed into yarn, and if she didn't pay attention to it, it would be a big mouth.

Ning Xi stroked her hair and went to the stove to burn the fire, the Ning family's house is small, and the wind is ventilated everywhere, and the movement in the house can be heard clearly in the stove room, only listening to her eldest uncle's baby bump, the six-year-old son Ning Jincheng shouted with a crying voice: "Mother! Ning Xi's heart sank, this unlucky child must have wet the bed again!

As expected, Qin Sulian said: "Come, good son, my mother will change your clothes." While changing and returning, he nagged: "If it weren't for your father's soft-hearted dead ghost and brought back a money-losing goods, how could our children not even drink thick mouths, and drink a stomach full of water every day, can this not wet the bed!" Pity our child who has just begun to grow up, and the rations have been taken up by the money-losing goods, my child who is miserable! ”

Ning Xi lifted the lid of the pot, grabbed a handful of corn dregs and sprinkled them into the boiling water, stirred the pot and spoon with his other hand while sprinkling, and then threw down a handful of chopped horsehead orchids after sprinkling, and then rolled for a while Breakfast was ready, there were rules for how much corn dregs to put in, if it was put a little more and was discovered by Qin Sulian, it would be a broom and flew over without discussion.

Listening to a muffled cough in the house, Da Bo Ning Wenzhao got up, and after knowing him for more than a month, Ning Xi's impression of this man is that he is honest, he belongs to the kind of person who can't beat a fart with eight sticks, and he is diligent in his work, Ning Xi has been to the ground to bring him food a few times, and he is sweating and working hard, but he doesn't know why their family is poor like this, for this he is not less nagged by Qin Sulian, but no matter how bloody he is scolded, he will only scratch his head and smile bitterly, and Ning Xi is anxious for him.

Ning Xi couldn't figure it out, Qiuluzhuang was a rich place, the land was fertile and there weren't a lot of harsh taxes or anything, as long as he was down-to-earth and hardworking, it shouldn't be a problem to live a good life, there were many people in the village who were doing well, it was really not easy for Ning Wenzhao's family to be so poor, she analyzed it carefully, probably because this aunt was too mean, the family and everything is prosperous, and the lessons handed down by the ancients will never be wrong.

Qin Sulian stepped into the stove room and began to chatter, for a while she felt that things were messed up and had nowhere to put her feet, and then she said that there was an extra gap in the bowl and scolded Ning Xi for ruining things, and opened the lid of the pot while accusing the corn dregs of putting too much, and she couldn't wait to scoop every grain of scum into her son's bowl, and finally crossed her waist with her hands and stared at her: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you go and clean up your brother's bed, sure enough, there is no mother to teach, and there is no eyesight at all!" ”

Ning Xi stuck out her tongue at her back, turned around and went to the house, as soon as she lifted Ning Jincheng's quilt, a smell of urine came to her face, so smoked that Ning Xi frowned, pinched it with her fingertips and removed the quilt cover, threw it into the bamboo basket with dirty clothes, and carried the quilt to the yard and put it on the bamboo pole to dry.

Ning Jincheng's quilt is the best in the family, but it is only a little thicker than her broken cotton wool, it has already turned gray and black because of the long time it has been used, and the middle part is even more dissatisfied with the black and yellow urine stains, exuding a disgusting smell that has accumulated over the years.

Now the weather is quite warm, even washing the quilt every day is just a little tired, but it will be winter soon, although I don't know how cold the winter here will be, it must not be better, if this cousin still wets the bed every day, it will be really a trouble, Ning Xi feels that he still has to think of a way.

After packing up Ning Jincheng's futon and returning to the stove room, the uncle's family had already finished breakfast, leaving only a little porridge water at the bottom of the pot that was so clear that it could almost illuminate the human figure, and there were two or three green horsehead orchids floating on it.

Ning Xi shook his head and smiled bitterly, no wonder the original owner of this body would be starved to death, a thirteen-year-old girl, who was abused like an eight-year-old, was enslaved every day to do so much work, only to give such a little food, it was already a miracle that she could struggle to grow up.

Seeing that there was no one around, Ning Xi found a fire stick and pulled it a few times in the depths of the ash heap in the stove, turned out two round balls, carefully blew off the ashes on the surface, and quickly peeled the skin and stuffed it into his mouth, this is a small potato secretly dug in the field outside, buried with ashes in the stove the night before, if it weren't for these small fights to maintain these days, this body would not be able to escape the fate of starving to death again after all.

Potatoes are a little smaller, the taste is really fragrant, in the previous life as a world-class five-star chef, what delicacies and seas have not been eaten, now eat a baked potato and feel that it is supreme delicious, it is really providential! Ning Xi smacked her mouth unsatisfied, picked up the gruel in the bowl and took a sip, the bitter taste made her frown.

She also ate this kind of wild vegetable in her previous life, washed and picked it and soaked it with boiling water, used for cold dressing or scrambled eggs, it is fragrant and slightly bitter, it is a refreshing and appetizing side dish, but it is cooked out without oil and salt, it is bitter and astringent, and it is really unpalatable.

"Ahh There was a sharp shout from the house, and even Ning Xi, who was washing dishes in the stove room, felt that her eardrums were shaken and painful, and admired her cousin's screaming kung fu from time to time.

Just thinking about it, he was suddenly pulled by the hair at the back of his head and pulled out, Ning Xi was caught off guard, was pulled back a few steps, and in a panic, he waved a wet rag and threw it back, only to hear Ning Shuanggui "Phew, phew!" After a few sounds, he let go of Ning Xi's hair and shouted angrily: "Dead girl, you come out for me!" ”

Ning Xi rubbed her scalp that was torn painfully, this hair was already less, only a few malnourished yellow hairs, she pulled it like this, maybe how much it would fall out, Ning Xi thought distressedly.

Qin Sulian also walked out when she heard the movement: "What's the matter?" ”

Ning Shuanggui raised a bright red □□ muslin skirt in his hand: "Mother, look at it!" "There was a big crack in the hem of the skirt. This is her only good dress, not a very important occasion is reluctant to take it out, today I thought about going to the villa for an interview, so I specially took it out.

"Tsk! How did this good thing come to be like this? Qin Sulian snatched her skirt and looked at it distressedly.

Ning Shuanggui pointed at Ning Xi: "It must be this dead girl, I can't see that I have such good clothes, and she deliberately broke it for me." She is still uneasy and kind, and wants me to go to the villa! ”

"Phew, don't wronged good people! I haven't touched your skirt yet! Ning Xi crossed her waist and said, she just saw her cousin Ning Jincheng playing with a few children yesterday, and casually mentioned that his sister had a red dress in her box that could be used to play the bride's game, and nothing else was done.

"You little **, a loser, who else can there be besides you? See if I don't kill you! Qin Sulian casually picked up a broom and headed towards Ning Xi, Ning Xi was stupid when she first came, and she hit her, and now she has learned well, relying on her small and flexible body, and she can't beat her when she hides in Tibet.

chased Qin Sulian out of breath, her sideburns were scattered, she stood in the middle of the yard with one hand on her waist and the other hand on her broom, and scolded her, so anxious that Ning Shuanggui stomped her feet: "Mother, it's too late for me to go to the villa, you should help me get it first, and then I will clean up this money-losing goods when I go back!" ”

The two scolded and entered the house, Ning Xi made a gesture of "disdain you" towards the house, dragged the bamboo basket full of dirty clothes and dirty quilts out of the door, and sent people under the fence for a day, she had to do a day's work, she was not naïve enough to take this thin and thin little body to stand on her own.
