Chapter 2: Sisters
Liu Yue was only three years old and relatively short, so she found a small stool and put it on the edge of the stove, and carefully took out the rice from the rice bowl. Because he was used to doing these household chores in his previous life, it was not difficult for Liu Yuelai at all, but because of his small strength and height, he had to work harder.
After carefully washing the rice, filling the pot with water, and then adding firewood to the stove, the rice porridge can now be boiled by lighting the fire. Don't cook the dishes first, otherwise what if the family is suspicious?
There was a flint stone next to the stove, and Liu Yue vigorously beat the fire to light the firewood. Seeing that the stove was full of warm firelight, Liu Yue felt that her body was not so cold.
Carefully put your little hands on the stove and roast the fire, wait for the water to boil and then put the washed rice into the pot, and it won't be long before you can have rice porridge to eat.
Sitting by the stove, Liu Yue thought about the sad and tearful eyes of her mother who was pregnant in her previous life, regardless of her name, and then married Lin Sheng's stepmother.
When I think of the white eyes of the people in the village, when I think of my grandmother scolding my mother for being a slut and teaching me a slut, shameless and so on. I was unmoved, I just thought that I would marry into the Lin family, and I didn't have to hear these words.
But I didn't think that my father and mother would continue to listen to these words, but I didn't expect my father and mother to be angry and white-eyed.
If it weren't for the wrong things she and her sister did, she wouldn't have let her grandmother scold her without confidence, and she wouldn't let her bully her again.
So I must be angry, of course, I must let my sister marry a good family and live a good life, so that my mother does not have to be afraid of grandma, and I don't have to suffer from the eyes and saliva of the people in the village.
Slowly the porridge has the flavor of rice, fortunately, the family is not so poor that there is no rice, otherwise I would really starve to death.
Seeing that the porridge was almost ready, Liu Yue put a little firewood in the stove and dropped it, afraid that the porridge would slowly get cold when the fire was extinguished, and after a while, her sister Liu Fang would come back and there would be no hot porridge to eat. You must take good care of your sister, so that she can feel happy and happy, not poverty and hardship.
Liu Yue carefully stood on the stool, took out the big bowl in the cabinet and filled a large bowl of porridge for herself, and slowly sat on the edge of the stove and drank it.
As soon as the rice porridge was in her stomach, Liu Yue felt that her body was much warmer, and she would not be so cold that she would shiver. Although there are no side dishes to match, Liu Yue eats very fragrantly, this is the best rice porridge she has eaten for so long, and it is also the most comfortable meal to eat!
After drinking the porridge, Liu Yue carefully walked out of the kitchen and went to the room where her mother slept.
Seeing that there was no heat in the carbon basin at all, Liu Yue hurriedly picked up the carbon basin and went to the kitchen to re-fire the carbon fire. When there is new carbon in the carbon basin, the house slowly begins to warm up.
Suddenly, I heard my brother's cry, and then Zhang also woke up. This sleep is good because he is full, Zhang carefully lifted the quilt, and looked into the house without imagining the cold.
I saw my second daughter sitting in front of the carbon basin to bake the fire, it turned out that the daughter went to burn the charcoal again, and the house would be so warm.
Zhang just wanted to say something The baby in his arms cried louder, Zhang was busy undressing and feeding his son, looking at the swollen milk Zhang was very happy, now his son can eat very full!
Liu Yue sat on the side and watched her mother breastfeed her younger brother, feeling really happy. I didn't expect that as long as I worked harder, my mother would have something to eat, and my brother would also have something to eat.
In this life, you must take good care of your relatives, don't let your mother and younger brother starve, and don't let your sister die tragically. It's really good that everyone is here, Liu Yue couldn't help but burst into tears. Zhang raised his head and saw Liu Yue crying, and couldn't help but look at his daughter distressedly: "Why are Yue'er crying, is it your grandfather who refuses to give you food." My mother said that she would give you some noodles to eat, but you don't want it, you must be hungry! You wait for your mother, so I will get up and make you food. ”
Seeing that Zhang's was about to get up, Liu Yue hurriedly stepped forward and pressed Zhang's with a smile: "Mother, Yue'er has eaten." Yue'er just boiled rice porridge by herself, and after eating a big bowl, she kept it for her father and sister? Yue'er thinks it's good to have a mother and a younger brother. ”
Zhang pulled Liu Yue into his arms and hugged Liu Yue: "Silly daughter, aren't my mother and brother accompanying you every day?" Don't worry, as soon as your mother comes out of confinement, she will make food for Yue'er. ”
Liu Yue nodded happily, and became more and more attached to Zhang's arms. Zhang also enjoyed his daughter being coquettish in his arms, and suddenly thought of something, pulled Liu Yue out of his arms, and looked at Liu Yue anxiously: "You said that you boiled rice porridge and ate it yourself, but it's true."
Are there any burns? Show your mother, how can you do something when you're only three years old? Didn't my mother say that if you don't give it, I'll let you come back and make it for you? How can you be disobedient? ”
Liu Yue's big eyes looked at Zhang's family, and said seriously: "Niang Yue'er is three years old, it's not that her younger brother is so young, Yue'er can do a lot of things, you see that the carbon basin in this house was made by Yue'er herself."
Yue'er used to watch her mother cook and boil rice porridge, so Yue'er boiled a big pot of rice porridge according to you. Mother, you don't believe that Yue'er can bring it to you to eat, Mother Yue'er has grown up and will protect you and your brother. ”
Zhang looked at his daughter's small body, maybe even the stove was much higher than Yue'er, and it must have been a very difficult idea to boil rice porridge. I only hate myself for being confined now, otherwise how can I bear to let my baby daughter do housework?
But seeing her daughter's sensible smiling face, the corners of Zhang's eyes became wet: "Hao Yue'er has grown up, and my mother will teach Yue'er to do more things in the future." But Yue'er has to promise her mother that she must protect herself and not hurt herself, okay? ”
Liu Yue held back her tears and nodded seriously, feeling very warm in her heart, mother, you can rest assured that Yue'er will definitely protect herself.
The two mothers and daughters talked together for a while, and suddenly heard the voice of their sister Liu Fang outside. Yue'er hurriedly jumped out of Zhang's arms and hurriedly opened the door to greet her sister.
Liu Fang came back with a large bundle of firewood, and when she saw her sister coming to greet her with a happy face, it was still worth it to be warm and tired. If you don't go to collect firewood, your sister will have to go, you can't have firewood at home, and the whole family will definitely need firewood to eat and drink.
Liu Yue stepped forward and carefully put the firewood for her sister, Liu Yue saw so much firewood, and looked at her sister with admiration: "Sister, you are really capable, you have picked up so much firewood and come back, can you burn it for several days?" ”
Liu Fang was also very happy to be worshiped by her sister, and nodded her sister's head: "Yue'er, you don't know that you can't manage this firewood for a few days, and you see that the weather is getting colder and colder."
When it snows, you won't be able to pick up firewood, so tomorrow my sister will go to the mountains early in the morning to collect firewood and come back, and you and your mother and brother will have firewood. In this way, you won't be cold, and your mother will have less to worry about. ”
Liu Yue nodded seriously: "Sister, I'll go with you tomorrow to collect firewood, so that I can pick up more firewood." By the way, sister, I boiled rice porridge and it was still hot on the stove? It's just that I can't cook, so I'll go and eat some first! ”
Liu Fang looked at Liu Yue strangely as if she hadn't heard it: "Did you boil rice porridge?" How can you go to the stove at such a young age? If it's hot, how can you get it, sister, you can't do this in the future, at most wait for my sister to come back and make it for you to eat! ”
Liu Yue was very moved in her heart, her sister and mother were afraid that they would hurt themselves, and they protected themselves in everything, but why didn't she think more about her sister and mother in her previous life?
Liu Yueqiang held back her tears and shook her head: "Sister is not afraid, Yue'er is very careful, Yue'er can't do nothing at home, Zayouniang is now in confinement, she can't get out of bed, and she has to have something to eat!" ”
Liu Fang instinctively thought that grandma must have come to make trouble again today, otherwise her sister could go to her grandfather to ask for some when she was hungry. No matter what it is, at least you can have something to eat, so why don't you need to boil rice porridge yourself?
"Yue'er, is the milk coming to make trouble again today, my mother is not arguing with the milk. Didn't my sister tell you? My mother is now weak and can't go out to blow the wind, why didn't you listen to it when you asked you to protect your mother? ”
Liu Yue said anxiously: "Sister, Yue'er didn't let her mother go out to quarrel with the milk, Yue'er looked for her grandfather to get the milk away." Yue'er remembered what you ordered, sister, so she thought about boiling rice porridge by herself, so she didn't have to look at the face of the milk to eat. ”
Liu Fang looked at Yue'er anxiously distinguishing, and nodded: "We really want to make our own food, we can't always go to the master to ask for it, after this incident, the milk will definitely not let the master give us food."
Why don't we do it ourselves? Anyway, I don't dare to take anything decent for us to eat, so it's more comfortable to eat at home? But Yue'er's cooking, let my sister do it herself, you don't need it when you're so young, you just take care of your mother and yourself. ”
The two sisters went to Zhang's house together, and when Zhang saw his eldest daughter's face red from cold, he was distressed and wanted to let his eldest daughter cover the kang, but Liu Fang was busy and refused to go up: "Mother, don't freeze your little brother, just let your daughter bake a fire on the side." ”
Liu Yue saw that the two were talking, so she left the house and went to the kitchen to serve a bowl of rice porridge to her sister. Liu Yue carefully got on the stool and took out a big bowl. Because there is a fire in the stove, the rice porridge is always hot, Liu Yue smells the rice and thinks this is happiness!
Liu Fang felt that her stomach was so hungry that she felt that she was hungry and painful, and after a tiring day, she was cold and hungry, and now she was in the warm inner room, and she was even more hungry and panicked.
Suddenly smelled the fragrance of rice, and when I turned around, I saw Xiao Yue'er holding the largest bowl, and inside was steaming rice porridge. Liu Fang's heart was so soft when she saw Yue'er like this, her little sister would work hard to do things for the family, so that her sister would have a bowl of hot porridge to eat.
What is there not to be satisfied with? Liu Fang cautiously stepped forward to take the porridge bowl in Yue'er's hand, and Yue'er smiled happily: "Sister, eat quickly, mother, don't you know that your sister has picked up a lot of firewood and come back, and my sister said that she will pick it up tomorrow?" Sister said that she wanted to let her mother and brother not have to be cold? ”
Zhang looked at the sensible and friendly sisters, and only felt extremely sorry in his heart, his two daughters have always been bitter with him, and they have to collect firewood to do housework since they were children. In the future, when the confinement is over, I will have to take good care of my two daughters, I was too negligent before.
Liu Fang may be too hungry, so she gulps down the rice porridge, regardless of whether the porridge is hot or not.
