Chapter 64: Hope

Zhang walked down the street carrying two food boxes, wiping the corners of her eyes with her hands from time to time, and there seemed to be something in her heart, which made her want to vent all the grievances of more than a year. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Facing the wind, Zhang's walked faster and faster, no matter what ridicule and ridicule she faced this year, she survived, but in the face of the kindness of Luliu Axun, she wanted to cry inexplicably, as if she had suddenly found the backbone of the heart to tell

"Zhuzi, did you listen to your father today?" When he was about to arrive at the door, Zhang wiped away his tears, returned to his previous gentleness, and asked the pillar who was coming out of the house when he entered the door.

"Yes! Mother, I'm good today, and my father taught me how to write! The pillar walked up and looked at the food box in Zhang's hand curiously, "Mother, what is this?" ”

"You'll find out in a moment." Zhang pursed his lips and smiled, went into the kitchen and lit the fire, found a large pot, poured water into it, put those dishes into the pot one by one, and then turned around and went to the north house with another food box.

"They gave me some pastries for you to try." Zhang took out a piece of plum blossom cake from the food box and handed it to the man, the man's expression was a little surprised and complicated, but the bright white pastry took a bite gently.

"Yes, it tastes good." The man nodded, "But how did you come up with the idea of giving us pastries?" ”

"I guess those two girls saw something, saying that there were too many people at home to eat, so let me bring them back......"

Zhang waved at the pillar and handed him a piece of lotus cake.

The pillar was held carefully, and his round eyes looked at Zhang with a little excitement, Zhang thought about it, and handed him a piece of cloud cake.

"Eat slowly, I'll have to eat later." Zhang picked out a plate of pastries with a plate, with a little lightness on his face,

"I'll send some to the Zhao family's aunt."

Putting the plate in the basket, Zhang went out, and the man looked at Zhang's back and stopped talking, lowered his eyes, and didn't know what he was thinking.

"His aunt, this is given by the master's family, I'll bring you a plate, the little babies must love to eat it."

The woman is the one who helped the Zhang family to collect the folding fan, she has four children in the family, it is the age when the half-grown child eats the poor old man, and the family can still have food and clothing, but these pastries cannot be eaten several times a year.

"How embarrassing is this, leave it to your pillar to eat......" The woman said with some embarrassment.

"Stay, stay, what else do we need to be so polite."

Zhang shoved the basket into the woman's hand, and without waiting for her to refuse, he withdrew his hand: "Okay, I still have hot food at home, so I won't tell you more."

The woman carried the basket back to the house, looked at the big girl sitting by the door and played with hemp skin, her heart warmed, and beckoned to her: "Are they back?"

The second girl has yellow hair, which is the age of changing teeth, and when she raised her head and smiled, she revealed two small holes: "I'm back, my father took my brother to water vegetables in the backyard."

The woman put the basket back into the chamber and burned the wood for cooking. She counted the pastries given by Zhang, and there were twenty-three pieces.

There are six lotus flowers, five plum blossoms, and seven cloud cakes, which she remembers eating once at her aunt's house when she was a child, sweet and glutinous, and the taste seems to be still remembered, and there are five translucent cakes wrapped in red beans, which are delicious when you look at them.

The woman planned in her heart that the eldest brother's family should have never eaten such a thing, and that she would take two pieces of each; My mother likes to eat sweets, but how can there be so many sweet sweets in the house, and I can only find some wild fruits in my daily life, but it is rare to find a suitable one.

The cloud cake is sweet, take some of the others, and send them to the mother together, and the remaining pieces will be given to a few children to satisfy their hunger......

The more the woman thought about it, the better she felt, and she couldn't help but put a little more oil in the stir-fry.

"It was sent by the sister-in-law of the Zhang family," the woman smiled at a dark-faced man, "she found a job as a cook, and the master is a kind-hearted person, and gave her some ...... today."

"Then I'll go net tomorrow and send some fish to Brother Wang." The man said sullenly.

Farmers are like this, you give me a handful of leeks, and I will give you a few green onions.

The woman's family eats not much better than the Zhang family's usually, but occasionally the man will go to the outlet to fish, which can be eaten at home, or he can take it to the market and sell it for a few pennies.

"Send some pastries to my father and mother to taste, and Wang Zi of the eldest brother's family, I'm afraid I haven't tasted this kind of thing yet."

At the dinner table, the man took a bite of chaff and talked to the woman.

The woman's face was a little bad, and the chopsticks were placed on the table: "I don't have enough to eat, how can I give it away?!" Wang Zi hasn't tasted it? Which baby in the family has tasted it? If we hadn't helped his uncle pay off his debts, we would have ended up where we are now?! ”

"Then Daddy should always send some there......" The man also put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said in a more dull voice.

The woman's heart was cold when she thought of the mother-in-law who had asked them to come up with the money to help her eldest son pay off his debts, and the father-in-law who kept saying that they had hidden the money.

"If you send it, maybe people will think that we have made a fortune, okay, you send it, you are not afraid of your big brother who rushes up when he smells fishy? When the time comes, I will pay him back the gambling debts of a dozen taels of silver, and you will support your eldest brother's family, I will take our baby, and we will go to ...... as flowers."

The woman's tears flowed down her eyes as she spoke, and her heart hurt when she remembered the previous: "If it weren't for this, my father would have gone up to the mountains to hunt and broke his leg?" Now I still walk with a limp, and I can't do heavy and rough work......"

The children next to him also stopped moving, looked at the woman cautiously, and rubbed the woman's face with her black hand: "Mother, don't cry, don't cry."

This action almost made the woman break down and cry.

The man listened to the woman speak without saying a word, and his face was a little ashamed: "The weather has not been good recently, I'm afraid that my father's medicine and wine are running out, you can send some more to Ming'er, and I will go to Zhangcun to buy some in two days."

When the woman heard the man say this, she did not answer, wiped the tears from her face, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and went into the house.

"Mother, if we can eat this kind of meal every day in the future, how nice it would be!" The pillar stuffed his mouth with rice and said inarticulately.

"Eat some lamb." Zhang sandwiched two pieces of fat and lean mutton into the pillar bowl, and then two pieces into the man's bowl, and the big bowl was suddenly empty, leaving only a steaming bowl of mutton soup, but this also caused the pillar to salivate.

Zhang's divide a bowl of mutton into several portions and keep a little to eat every day, which is not the way of life of the peasant family.

"You eat some too." The man picked a larger piece from the bowl and put it in Zhang's bowl, the atmosphere of the family was harmonious, and the usual depression and anxiety seemed to have disappeared at this moment.

Everything is getting more and more promising.
