Brother Xiuzhu has already eaten the second vegetable dumpling, and there is still it on the plate, he is a little embarrassed to eat it, but his eyes keep staring. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

There is a shortage of food in every family, and the conditions in the sister's family are better, but they will not be too rich.

Lin Yongmin reached out and took it and stuffed it into his hand, and he grinned innocently and began to eat.

After the brother and sister were full, the fifth aunt also saw that her daughter-in-law had not eaten enough when she returned to her parents' house in the past few days.

However, she didn't have much to say about it, so she could only pretend not to know.

Brother Xiuzhu was leaving, and the fifth aunt asked Xiuzhu to pack up the remaining four vegetable dumplings at home and let Brother Xiuzhu take them back, saying that it was for the two old people to eat.

Brother Xiuzhu excused himself and went out with it in his hand.

"What? Are you uncomfortable living in your father-in-law's house? Lin Yongmin asked suspiciously.

Today's daughter-in-law's face has not been very good.

Xiuzhu snorted and said, "You say, why are there such lazy people?" I didn't even have any vegetables at home, and I didn't know how to plant them when it rained, so I relied on my eldest brother to be busy alone, and I planted 20 days later than other people's homes, and I didn't have the strength to clean up. ”

Xiuzhu's family has two brothers, two sisters-in-law, two brothers and two brothers-in-law, plus the elderly and children, a family of more than a dozen people, more than a dozen paddy fields, and 20 acres of mountainous land.

If it were a normal year, this day would still be able to go on, but this year's drought will obviously not be easy.

This time Xiuzhu went back, only to know that her mother's family really relied on that little relief food to live, and other people's families could make do with eating a vegetable dumpling, but her mother's family didn't even have extra vegetables, so she could only barely drink some vegetable paste, which was still that kind of thin.

Why did you live like this? There is no one in a big family, and no one is diligent, and they all point to the eldest brother alone? The eldest brother is busy, but he can't support a large family.

"What? Have no food to eat at home? The fifth aunt said.

There is still some grain in my own grain cellar, or I can send some more to my in-laws, and I can't watch people starve!

Who knows, Xiuzhu disagreed, and said: "If you don't send it, you will hollow out our family, and you can't afford to support that family." They can get over as much as they like. ”

A large family just waited for pies to fall from the sky, and they were embarrassed to say that their own conditions were good, so they sent two hundred catties of grain. I don't want to think about it, who has extra grain now, and when he opens his mouth, it is two hundred catties, and he is a landlord with surplus grain?

Besides, it's just to send two hundred catties, enough for this family to eat for a few days? If you don't think about it, sooner or later you won't have anything to eat.

Therefore, Xiuzhu did not agree, only saying that there was not much food left at home. But her sisters-in-law and daughters-in-law were good, and when they heard that she didn't agree, their faces changed immediately.

When she got married, she asked for a lot of dowry, and said that she would give more dowry to make her face gold, but in the end, the dowry was nothing, which made her feel that she was not confident when she got married.

Why don't they want to think about it, they are the eldest daughter-in-law, and when the daughter-in-law of the second and third daughter-in-law enters the door in the future, what kind of face can they have? Just thinking about living on her, not thinking about her life is also difficult.

The fifth aunt didn't have to guess to know that her daughter-in-law was wronged in her mother's house, so she glanced at her son and asked him to take her daughter-in-law back to the room.

Lin Yongmin was about to take his daughter-in-law out, but the third Lin Yongkang came in, and shouted when he entered the door: "Mother, if there is food at home, I am dying of hunger." Sister-in-law, you're back. ”

If you're hungry, I'll cook for you. The fifth aunt put down the clothes she was sewing in her hand and said under the kang.

Xiuzhu was a little embarrassed, she originally had something to eat, but her eldest brother didn't even eat it.

Therefore, she didn't make a fuss, and hurriedly said: "Mother, you sit, I'll cook, it just so happens that I'm hungry too, let's eat early for dinner today." ”

"Cheng, you're all back today, if you make something good, you can cook some oil cakes, cook some white rice porridge to eat, and take out some vegetables at home to make some. Boss waits and calls your Grandma Qiao over. The fifth aunt estimated that her daughter-in-law hadn't eaten anything good in the past few days, so she arranged.

"Okay." Xiuzhu also knew her mother-in-law's kindness, so she went down to cook in response.

"Did you buy pen and paper?" The fifth aunt asked her youngest son, who had already gone to the kang to keep warm.

At this time, I was not willing to use the brazier, but the kang was already burning.

"No, the shops in the town are closed, and I don't even have food and drink in such weather, so how can I have the energy to buy pen and ink, and I didn't buy it after a long turn. Just think about it, come back and practice writing on the ground. Lin Yongkang wrapped the whole person in the quilt and said.

"Boss, you ask your daughter-in-law at night, if your father-in-law's house really runs out of food, let's get some ideas, don't starve. Your father and second child are not here, and they also have rations, plus the food we saved is always enough for our family. ”

"Don't worry so much about it, think about it again, if there is a suitable person, it would be good to marry a daughter-in-law for the second brother." Lin Yongmin didn't have a good impression of his father-in-law's family, so he planned to wait until he finished discussing it with Xiuzhu.

"Your second brother's business, I'm not busy for the time being, although he is not young, but now he is not there, what if he doesn't like what I am looking for?" The fifth aunt scratched her hair twice with a needle and said casually.

The fifth aunt doesn't do such a thankless job, if she stares at such a trivial matter, the life of the family in the past two years will not be so good.

"Mother, will our pig be killed this year?" Lin Yongkang asked while touching a book, intending to read it on the kang.

"What? Gluttonous? The fifth aunt looked at her son and smiled.

"It's a little, but our pig is a little too small."

"Kill, although the pig is not big, you can feed it if you don't kill it. I estimate that I can have more than 100 catties of meat. ”

At the beginning of the year, the fifth aunt's family caught a little pig, but then the drought turned out to be almost unfed, but fortunately, he finally carried it. However, after all, it didn't grow much. That is, after the rain in July, the grass in the field grew faster.

"It is said that all the people living in the capital are rich people, and my father doesn't know if he can eat meat every day." Lin Yongkang said with infinite yearning.

Dad and they have been gone for a long time, and they should have stabilized, but why don't they send a letter to the family to let the family know that they are okay?
