Chapter 7 Kudzu Powder

Zhou Wanwan pursed her lips and disagreed with the two of them. She really wants to tell the two of them, don't dream, in her previous life, Zhou Hongying stayed for several levels before she barely graduated from junior high school, and finally took a lot of effort to get a position as a private teacher in the village primary school, not to mention eating and supplying food, and in the early nineties, private teachers couldn't be a private teacher, so they were squeezed down and went home to farm.

As for Zhou Hongxiang, who they envy now, she married an old man in the city who was more than ten years older than her for the city's hukou, but her hukou has not been touched in Sanjiatun for decades. According to the policy, the child's hukou follows the mother, and the four children she gave birth to do not have a hukou in the city, and it was not until 2010 that several of them settled in the city.

But at that time, the world had already changed, and they had become people who had no land in the countryside, no houses in the city, and no skills, and a few children pedaled rickshaws, sold vegetables, and set up stalls in night markets. As for Zhou Hongxiang herself, she is in her eighties and has no source of livelihood, so she can only pick up garbage, and she has even been reported on the Internet by netizens.

Zhou Wanwan no longer pays attention to the daydreams of this girl, let alone gets angry with their shamelessness. She took out a miniature milk tablet from the space and held it for herself, her body was not lacking any nutrients now, but her stomach would still be hungry, and the small bowl of malt milk essence she drank in the morning had already been digested.

Maybe they are all children, and they will affect each other, as soon as Zhou Wanwan started to eat here, Zhou Lan, who was lying side by side with her, was also hungry and began to hum and chirp like a kitten. It's really like a kitten, her voice is low and weak, if she wasn't too close, Zhou Wanwan couldn't tell whether she was humming or crying.

Zhou Wanwan looked at Zhou Lan, very powerless. The two of us were innocent in our previous lives, but there was no favor or favor, and I couldn't risk my own exposure to feed you. And I can't take care of myself now, I really can't take care of you, you can bear with it, just get used to it, you can grow up safely in your previous life, and it should be no problem in this life.

Zhou Wanwan suppressed the guilt of Zhou Lan in her heart, while feeding herself, and when she was full, she was used to hearing the kitten-like cry, and she actually fell asleep.

Zhou Wanwan was awakened by a burst of pain, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Wang Fengying sweeping over her leg again, and directly swept Zhou Wanwan to the stack of quilts stacked next to the kang tip. Zhou Wanwan only felt a dull pain in her thigh, it should have been hit by Wang Fengying's bulging knee, she was so angry that she almost wanted to bite Wang Fengying, what a vicious woman she had to do to a little baby!

Objectively speaking, Wang Fengying's leg did not use force, it is estimated that she was lying on the kang to rest, and she thought that Zhou Wanwan was in the way, so she swept her aside with her leg. She didn't use a lot of strength, but she didn't have the strength, this leg, if it hit the key part, could also cause great damage to Zhou Wanwan's now weak little body.

When the pain passes, Zhou Wanwan feels it carefully, it shouldn't have caused much damage, there may be bruising, but it doesn't matter, I will secretly rub some medicine myself later, and it will be fine. After the anger, Zhou Wanwan became calmer, and she had already seen their faces clearly, what else was there to hurt. She will remember this pen, and in the future, she will let them pay it back.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the house, the women who went out to work in the morning came back, listened to their chat, it turned out that the dung of a piece of land in Dongdagou was sent out in the morning, and when they were ready to send the land in Xishan, the manure was not available, so the men were asked to go to the dung, and the women went home to prepare tools, and went to the team to pick wheat seeds tomorrow, and the seeds of wheat at this time had to be manually screened, and there were many impurities and broken wheat grains that could not emerge when they were brought back, so they should be carefully selected to ensure the emergence rate.

It is said that it is to come back to prepare tools, but in fact, it is a kind of vacation in disguise, and such a situation is rare to see a few times a year.

The women of the whole family gathered around the brazier in the east room to chat and do needlework. The Zhou family's winter is only warm during the day, because the cooking is this kang and there is a brazier, and the house is still relatively warm. In other rooms, only the kang is burned once before going to bed at night, and the heat dissipates after sleeping overnight, and the room is so cold during the day that it can't stay for people. Zhou Wanwan remembered that when she was a child, every winter, the wall of the Xili room where they lived was covered with frost flowers with white flowers, which were thick and did not melt all winter.

So during the day in winter, the Zhou family stayed in the East Outer Room. Of course, most of the time, it is Mrs. Zhou with Zhou Hongying and a few children who can't work in the field yet, and there are really not many opportunities for the whole family to gather before entering the wax moon like today.

While chatting, Zhou Ping walked in with a small bowl, the bowl was translucent and slightly yellowish paste, and when he walked in, he smelled a fresh fragrance of plants and trees, as well as a little sweet and sour. It should be a paste of kudzu powder.

Li Guizhi untied Zhou Lan's bag that she had been holding and began to feed her to drink the mush, the slightly sweet and sour taste with a faint fragrance was too attractive to people who had been hungry for a long time, and everyone couldn't help but stare at the bowl of mush. Li Guizhi, who has always been so weak that she was trampled in the mud by Mrs. Zhou and Wang Fengying, did not say a word this time, and she unexpectedly had an idea this time, and refused to let others look at it, so she only lowered her head and focused on feeding Zhou Lan.

Zhou Ping next to him was young after all, and he was seen too much, so he was embarrassed, his eyes dodged everyone, and he looked evasively at the kang that no one was waiting for, just to last week's eyes. Those eyes looked too seriously, and they were different from the past, which made Zhou Ping stunned. She gently pulled Li Guizhi's placket, and gestured to Zhou Wanwan's direction with her eyes.

Li Guizhi was also stunned for a moment when she saw Zhou Wanwan's eyes, then turned around and blocked her view with her back.

Zhou Wanwan sneered in her heart, this time she didn't have to feel guilty for letting Zhou Lan look at her when she was eating, everyone was with each other.

Objectively speaking, Li Guizhi's approach is understandable, in such an era, a bite of food may save the life of his child, and no one will give it to others easily. What made Zhou Wanwan's heart cold was the performance of the whole family, they seemed to have tacitly sentenced her to death, everyone watched her starve to death silently, no one refused to stretch out their hands, just watched. Because she has no mother, she deserves to starve to death, and even her own grandmother will deduct the one or two dried melons that her brother bought for her health.

In this era, it is not uncommon for children to be thrown out and picked up and saved, but it is really rare for someone like her to be thrown out before she has lost her breath. They were so sure that she wouldn't live, and sooner or later she would starve to death, and throw it out for a hundred, so impatient.

After spending more time with these people, Zhou Wanwan's heart became colder. She was going to leave this home, she was going to leave this home with her brothers, which was filled with coldness, malice, calculation, and selfishness. They want to build a home that is only for them, full of warmth and love, and that is what a real home should look like.

Their lives can no longer be influenced and controlled by these people, and their lives must be completely rid of these people in order to be reborn.

When Zhou Wanwan was thinking about his own thoughts, Li Guizhi had already finished feeding Zhou Lan. Zhou Ling finally couldn't hold back, pulling Wang Fengying's shirt and pouting aggrievedly.

"It's useless for you to be greedy! It was sent by your second aunt's mother's family, can you ask your second aunt if she will give it to you? Wang Fengying said and pushed Zhou Ling in front of Li Guizhi, "Her second aunt, you see that this child is greedy, you really can't bear it." ”

Li Guizhi has been in this family for more than 20 years, and has never raised his head to say a word, and when Wang Fengying asked him like this, he didn't know how to answer, so he could only lower his head and fiddle with Zhou Lan's small quilt, but he bit it to death and didn't say a word.

Wang Fengying saw that Li Guizhi was silent, and felt more and more that she had been reasonable, and patted her thigh and howled at Mrs. Zhou: "Mother, have you watched it?" How old is Siya, just looking at it like this, you can't catch a mouthful, what a ruthless heart! Mother, we didn't live separately, did we? How can you hide your private room? A few days ago, her second aunt gave Liuya a meal alone, I didn't say anything, I waited for a few days, and she didn't let the adults and children in the family, why is this so cheeky! ”

"Auntie," Zhou Ping saw that Li Guizhi was squeezed and red-faced, and couldn't say a word, and for the first time mustered up the courage to explain to Wang Fengying, "This is my uncle who saw that my sister was going to starve to death, and begged a circle of relatives from other provinces to get it, just that small can, it was for my sister's life......" Speaking of excitement, Zhou Ping choked up, couldn't speak anymore, and tears flowed down.

"A broken girl, you are still a treasure!" Wang Fengying was completely unmoved, "The whole family is expensive for her life, so she has to eat alone?!" No matter how well you raise it, it's not a son! Can you still give you a pension? ”

Failing to give birth to a son is Li Guizhi's eternal shortcoming in this family, because of this, she has never raised her head in her life. was caught by someone and stepped on her shortcomings, she had no room to refute, she could only hug Zhou Lan and cry.

Wang Fengying felt that she was even more reasonable, and complained to Mrs. Zhou: "Mother, look! is such a girl, her second aunt is more expensive than our family's Dale and Erle! If her mother's family brought it, she has to open a small stove for her girl, so what about what my second girl got back from the Xu family? Seeing Mrs. Zhou's eyes widening, Wang Fengying hurriedly changed her words: "Of course, the things that Erya brought back must be filial to my father, I didn't say that I wanted to keep it secret (secretly stayed)." Then why can't my four girls eat something from her house? ”

Mrs. Zhou glanced at Li Guizhi fiercely with her eyes, and said sarcastically: "Don't talk about your fourth girl, it's Hongying, and I haven't seen her take a sip." This is the virtuous daughter-in-law of our old Zhou family! ”

As soon as Mrs. Zhou said this, Li Guizhi couldn't bear it, and was said by her mother-in-law to be unvirtuous and unfilial, and it was because she ate alone for her children, no matter what the reason, this was a matter of being poked in the backbone by the people of Quantunzi. She raised her red and swollen eyes, and said to Zhou Ping, who was already crying silently next to her: "Big girl, go and make two bowls of kudzu powder for your aunt and Liuya." ”
