Chapter 1: Beaten
Jin Dashan looked at the corn batter in his bowl, which was still thick, and then looked at the three small ones at the bottom, as well as the clear porridge in his wife Li's bowl, sighed, picked up the bowl and added some to each of the three children's bowls, and poured the rest into Li's bowl.

Li grabbed Jin Dashan, "The master, don't, this is not full, you still have to pound the pulp, but you can't resist it, we are not so expensive, you won't die if you starve, but your body and bones can't stand such a deficit." "Turn your head and say hello to June, September and nineteen.
"June kept all the cornmeal batter in your bowl, your dad hasn't eaten it yet."
But it was too late, September and Nineteen couldn't wait to gobble up most of the bowl, and only June hadn't moved the chopsticks.
Li was in a hurry, picked up the chopsticks on the table and slammed them on the heads of the two little ones, and immediately cries rang out.
"You starving ghosts are reincarnated, you are so greedy, you are all debt collectors, why are you so quick and greedy! It's not your father's life. Let you eat, let you eat. I'll kill you. ”
The chopsticks in the hands of the crying Li struck the back of the hands and backs of the two children fiercely, and they immediately became red and swollen, and the two little ones immediately cried.
June pounced on him, blocked Li hard, and hit Li a few times without saying anything, and his back hurt hotly.
This mother is ruthless!
June, who protected the two younger sisters and younger brothers, also shed tears in pain.
Five-year-old September saw June's eyes in pain, and said while crying: "Mother, mother, don't beat my sister, it's my gluttony, I don't eat it, it's all left to my father, I don't eat it, I really don't eat it, don't beat my sister." ”
Three-year-old Nineteen also cried and hugged June, crying profusely.
Jin Dashan snatched the chopsticks from Li's hand, "Okay, damn, what are you doing." It's because I don't have the ability to give the children a full meal, why are you beating the children? What do they know when they're so young? ”
Li suddenly sat down on the kang and cried with a whimper!
June knew that it wasn't just because of a bowl of cornmeal batter, it was about too many bad things at home lately, and it was just a head, a channel to vent.
"How are you going to spend this day? The child's father, this dozens of paper mills along the street, our family is the last, tired and tired all year round, can't earn a few dollars, and all of them are given to the paper craftsman master, the children can't eat enough, it's not that his uncle bullied you stupidly, put a good study shop and don't take it, here to fight hard, what is this! ”
Lee cried out.
Jin Dashan sank his face, slammed the table, and shouted, "You still say it, don't you?" I said at the beginning that the study was for my mother's pension, and when my mother would be a hundred years old, I would take back the shop. I'll just say this as if you were angry, and don't mention it again. The days still have to pass, these days are a few days harder, and the goods will be received, and when the goods are delivered, there will be money. ”
Li Shi was unwilling to say something, but after looking at Jin Dashan's face, he finally closed his mouth.
The corn batter that had not yet moved in his bowl and June bowl was poured into Jin Dashan's bowl, and the bowl was smashed in front of Jin Dashan with a loud bang.
"Eat! Eat well, go to work, I'll do a little more with June. ”
The tone was stiff, but Jin Dashan knew that his daughter-in-law was hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, so she no longer insisted, picked up the bowl and drank it, put down the empty bowl, wiped the corners of her mouth, and greeted the three boys.
"Hurry up and eat, the pulp will be cooked today, it's almost the New Year, Master Zhang is going home, take advantage of the moment to quickly mix these pulps, Master Zhang is gone, we can dry the rest ourselves."
Chu Yi put down the bowl, there was still a small half bowl of corn paste left in the bowl, and whispered to June: "Brother has an uncomfortable stomach today and can't eat it, you help Brother clean up the rest of June, thank you!" After saying that, he walked out without looking back.
June's heart warmed.
Looking at the corn paste with little soup and water, I also knew that this was the kindness of the eldest brother.
Thirteen and Eighteen didn't speak, but they also picked up the bowl and snorted twice, pushed the rest of the bowl to June, got up and walked out.
Li sighed, a half-grown young man, there was a lot of soup in the bowl, and these two mouthfuls didn't even fill the bottom of their stomachs, don't say anything they can't eat, it's not that the children don't want her and June to be hungry, so they change their ways to fill them up.
It's all poor!
I can't help but complain a little bit about Master Zhang, Zhang Decai's salary is the highest on this street, of course, it is not as good as the salary of the master of the big paper village, but it can be regarded as top-notch in their small paper mills.
Every year, most of the money goes into the pockets of the master papermakers, and their lives will be so hard!
Look at the children in the family, the first and thirteenth are already sixteen, and they are about to say goodbye, eighteen and thirteen, although they are still young, but when they are growing up, they are all thinner than other people's children, and they are not poor at home.
The money on hand every year is enough to barely starve to death, but if you want to talk about the rest, I'm afraid the family can't afford it.
Other people's families also open paper mills, but this paper and paper are also very different, their kind of paper mill is to make a straw paper that people commonly use or something, those precious scholars write paper, they can't afford to hire such a paper craftsman, and they don't have that kind of craftsmanship, so the money they earn is barely enough to survive!
Hey, when will it be a head?
Li sighed, poured the remaining cornmeal batter in the bowl into June's bowl, only left two mouthfuls for himself, scooped some boiling water from the pot on the stove and mixed it in, saw that June was staring at himself, and scolded with a dark face: "Don't hurry up and eat it, wait for me to feed you!" After eating, I cleaned up and took September to collect firewood, and there was not enough at home. ”
Turning his back, he poured the cornmeal batter from the bowl into his mouth and began to brush the pot.
June also hurriedly swallowed the cornmeal batter in the bowl, put the dishes and chopsticks into the big basin, and took them to the stove to wash.
September cautiously glanced at the gloomy Li family, pulled Nineteen, and the two of them were like little rats, quietly and densely touching out the stove room to find June.
Dad and big brothers are not there, my mother will beat people when she is in a bad mood, and the only savior in the hearts of little September and Nineteen is probably June.
After all, if the mother fights people, it can only be June that can protect them.
Although the child is young, he has learned to read words and looks.
