When Wang Qiaozhen heard this, he frowned and asked, "Has the insect plague been making trouble for a long time?" ”

Sister Qiaohong's mind is not clear now, and she doesn't hide it, what is the answer: "It's been a year of trouble, sister doesn't know, the locusts are flying all over the sky, and the black pressure can't see the sky, and when they die, they are also piece by piece, and there is a dung pit in our house alone." ”

Qiao Zhen was startled, it sounded so terrible, she hurriedly said: "There are so many, since they are all dead, why don't you eat the locusts, if you eat them all, you won't die so many people." What a pity to throw it into a manure pit. ”

Qiao Hong listened to her words, her eyes widened, and an incredible light flashed in her eyes, and said, "Sister, what did you say?" That's a god worm, it was sent down by God, and God told them to come down to eat food and punish us, how can they eat it? ”

Qiao Zhen's words were stopped, she forgot that this was ancient times, and people in ancient times were superstitious, so she quickly thought of an excuse and said: "I remember the time when the insect plague happened, and suddenly I heard that person say that those insects can be eaten, I thought that he was always a scholar, and what he said should have some truth, so he said this." ”

Qiao Hong was stunned at first, that person? Then she understood that the eldest sister was talking about the original brother-in-law, and now the eldest sister has been divorced, and it has nothing to do with him, so she called him that person.

She nodded knowingly, thinking in her heart, those scholars are different from them, I think the eldest sister heard him say this, can those worms really eat? If we could eat, how many fewer people would have to starve to death? How many more lives you have to live.

But those are all divine insects, and the elders say that they can't eat them, and God will punish people if they eat them. Who's right? For a while, Wang Qiaohong thought in her heart, and she had a trace of doubt about what the older generation said.

Before Qiao Hong could figure it out, Qiao Zhen wanted to ask a few more questions, and at this moment, her mother came in with a bowl.

"Zhen'er, the medicine is ready, hurry, let's drink the medicine. Hong'er, help your sister up. Qiao Zhenniang was holding a bowl and blowing medicine.

Qiao Hong responded, Qiao Zhen got up slowly with her strength, she was weak and had no strength, and leaned on her sister's body.

"I'll do it myself." She was a little embarrassed to see that her mother was going to feed herself.

"You're biedong, it's hot. Mother feeds you. After Qiao Zhenniang finished speaking, she scooped a spoonful of medicine with a spoon, blew two mouthfuls and handed it to her daughter's mouth.

Qiaozhen was sitting, and just happened to see the bowl and spoon in my mother's hand, the bowl was a large bowl, and there was half a bowl of black medicinal juice in it.

What can attract Qiaozhen's attention is not that the bowl is too big, nor that the medicine is too dark, but the inside of the bowl.

The outside of the bowl is earthy yellow, and the inside is white, but the white is not pure white. It's a little dirty, as if it hasn't been brushed after use, or it hasn't been brushed clean, giving people a feeling of being buried. The spoon is the same, as if it has not been washed after use.

Qiao Zhen felt a little disgusting in her heart, in modern times, even in the countryside, she didn't brush the bowl like this, it was so dirty, how could she drink it?

She hesitated and didn't open her mouth, Qiao Zhenniang was a little puzzled, and said, "What's wrong?" Why don't you drink it? This is a medicine to nourish your body, is it afraid of bitterness? It's not bitter, I don't believe that my mother will drink it to you. ”

After speaking, she turned her wrist and put the medicine in the spoon into her mouth, she swallowed it in one gulp, grinned, frowned, it was really bitter, but she said: "Look, my mother has drunk it, it's not bitter, and besides, this medicine is bitter to cure the disease, how old are you, can it be said that you are still the same as Chengzi, taking medicinal irrigation." ”

After saying that, she scooped another spoonful and brought it to her daughter's mouth.

Qiao Zhen is not afraid of bitterness, but a little disgusted with dirty bowls, and later she thought of the ancient times here, afraid that it was very difficult to use water, so she couldn't wash the dishes very cleanly, and it was not that her family buried them.

Looking at her mother's movements, her eyes were hot, maybe many people dislike her mother's action, drink it with their own mouths, and then feed others, especially growing up children, they will feel dirty, and their hearts will be disgusted, but she is not like this, she remembered that when she was a child, every time she was sick, her mother also coaxed her to take medicine like this, and every time her mother tasted it in advance, she was willing to eat.

What wasn't fed by my mother when I was a child? What reason is there to dislike when you grow up! With tears in his eyes, Qiao Zhen opened his mouth and swallowed the medicine in the spoon.

A bitter feeling spread in the mouth, so bitter, Qiaozhen felt that the mouth was full of bitter water, as if he had eaten bitter gall into his mouth.

After drinking a few spoonfuls, she felt a little nauseous, it was so bitter that she couldn't drink it anymore.

Qiao Zhenniang saw that her daughter covered her mouth and wanted to vomit, so she hurriedly said: "Don't, if you vomit, you can drink it in vain." No matter how bad it is, you have to hold your nose and hold back. ”

Qiaozhen listened to what her mother said funny, thinking about it, this medicine is still on credit, if she vomits, it will be a waste of things.

She held back her anger and drank the medicine, Qiao Zhenniang hurriedly wiped her daughter's mouth with the sleeve of her clothes, and muttered: "Girl, bear with me, my mother has nothing to save for you, so I can only wait for the bitterness to pass slowly." Wait for my mother to get you something to eat. ”

Qiaozhen nodded, she didn't speak, she felt that the medicine was bitter in her heart, as if she could take a breath and get it into her lungs.

Qiao Zhenniang went out with the bowl, Qiao Hong helped the eldest sister to let her lie down slowly, gave her a quilt, and took care of her quite carefully.

Qiao Zhen smiled softly at her, fortunately, her father and mother love her, fortunately, this little sister is good to herself, otherwise she just arrived here, and she didn't know how to panic in her heart.

The two sisters said two more words, and Qiao Zhenniang came in with a bowl again.

"Zhen'er, look at what my mother got for you, come, eat it while it's hot." She came to her daughter's side and motioned for Qiaohong to help Qiaozhen up.

Qiao Zhen sat up slowly, looked at the bowl, and there was a poached egg in the bowl, there was only one egg, it was beaten well, it was very formed, and the white egg white looked very attractive.

Although Qiaozhen was not greedy, she had a miscarriage and lost a lot of blood, eggs raised people, she didn't say anything, and ate with chopsticks.

After taking two bites, she looked at the yellow inside and saw that the yellow was thin, that is, the sugar heart, she didn't want to eat such an egg, she couldn't eat it.

"Why don't you eat it? This kind of egg is the most nourishing, you are young, but it is not a matter of slag, you have to take care of your body, and in the future, your mother will beat you an egg every day to eat, and you will be happy. Qiao Zhenniang persuaded her daughter.

"Yes, eldest sister, hurry up and eat, it's going to be cold in a while." Qiao Hong also persuaded.

Qiaozhen nodded, finished eating the eggs, drank half of the egg tea, and couldn't drink anymore.

"Hong, you drink the tea, I'll go wash the dishes, don't let your sister-in-law see it." Qiao Zhenniang handed the bowl to the little girl.

Qiao Hong's eyes were full of envy, but he said: "Mother, you drink it, you are the most tired, I am not greedy, you should drink it." ”

Qiaozhen saw the two of them refuse, and her heart tightened, she always forgot the situation of this family, and thinking that an egg was already very luxurious for this family, right? Even egg tea is a good thing, and they drink it with each other.

She looked at her sister Qiao's red eyes, and she obviously wanted to drink it, but she sensibly let her mother, her eyes were sour, and she shed tears.

"Zhen'er, don't cry all the time, hurt your eyes, or you will become blind when you get old." Qiao Zhenniang handed the egg tea to the little girl, and then persuaded the eldest girl.

"Mother, don't give me eggs in the future, I'll eat whatever I eat at home, or I'm afraid of my sister-in-law......" Qiaozhen finally called out his mother.

"It's okay, girl, no matter how difficult it is for my mother, I have to let you raise Xiaoyue, don't worry so much." Qiao Zhenniang hugged Qiao Zhen and burst into tears.

When Qiaohong finished drinking the egg tea, the bowl was already very clean, Qiao Zhenniang asked her to look at Qiao Zhen, and then she went out with the bowl.
