Qiu Lian came in with a basin of hot water, "Uncle Li, Uncle He, wash up!" ”

He Junyao and Li Qingjie stepped forward, the ordinary enamel basin, the red double happiness below, the enamel knocked off a lot, mottled, obviously a long time, and the bottom leakage is obviously sticky to the toothpaste skin. The two of them washed their hands and shook them like this, and soon their hands were dry.

Mu Huirong took the opportunity to move the kang table outside the house in, and directly brought up the cooked braised pork and steamed buns in the steamer, and brought the stir-fried sweet potato vermicelli stewed cabbage with a coarse porcelain bowl, and a coarse porcelain bowl filled with a bowl of black and red meat slices, stir-fried with red and spicy pieces, and at a glance you knew that it was air-dried game. It was cold to eat this warmth, He Junyao knew that this should be the only food in this family that could show his hands to entertain guests, Qiu Lian took out a jar of baogu wine from the cellar.

The chopsticks used seemed to be cut by bamboo and ground by themselves, Mu Huirong smiled heartily and said: "Nier go get the bowl, your father can't drink with others, let's drink with others, and we will kill your father." ”

"Hey!" Qiu Lian took four coarse porcelain bowls, and two of them were open-mouthed, and they were full. Mu Huirong picked up the bowl with both hands, "Regardless of whether Lao Qiu can be cured or not, I thank you here in advance, I can think about him." The words fell, and they drank it all, and they were heroic and bold.

"Sister-in-law, judging from the rough situation just now, you are taking good care of you, what do we dare not guarantee? But will do its best. He Junyao said solemnly, holding the bowl and drinking it all.

Qiu Lian also slammed the bowl with both hands and saluted He Junyao and the two of them. After drinking, the two of them will go out. was stopped by He Junyao, who was quick-eyed, "Sister-in-law, eldest niece, go to the kang." "It's neat and can't be refused.

Despite advocating equality between men and women. In the countryside there are rules, when guests come, women and children are not served......

"Yes! We can't eat enough of it. Li Qingjie also hurriedly stopped. Turning his head sideways at the person lying there, "Qiu Zi, don't speak yet." ”

"Come on! It's all their own people. Qiu Zi looked very happy today and waved his hand.

"Good!" Mu Huirong was not pretentious and pulled Qiu Lian to sit on the edge of the kang, "We don't have so many rules, let's eat!" As the hostess, she said, breaking the big white bun in her hand. Feed it into Qiu Zi's mouth one by one. "Eat slowly, don't choke, we boiled a bun of cereal porridge, do you want to have some."

"Mother, I'll go to Sheng." Qiu Lian just stood on the ground. I saw a number of little heads poking out from behind the bead curtain, timidly, snorting through my nose, feeling like a delicious food into my mouth, that fragrant!

Qiu Lian smiled softly, "Dog leftovers, bad eggs, big melons, two melons, why are you here, aren't you all asleep at this time?" ”

"Sister Lian'er, we ...... Let's ......" The eyes of the four men were wide open. I can't wait to swallow the food on the kang table, my mouth keeps swallowing, and my stomach makes a 'gurgling' sound ......when it is inappropriate, and it is difficult for people not to hear it. They wanted to sleep, but the smell made them unable to sleep even if they wanted to.

"Let's share the instant noodles and ham sausages we brought with the children!" Li Qingjie said, looking at the children who poked their heads out. In the dim light, they couldn't hide their skinny bodies, like greedy cats.

Qiu Lian got up and looked at her father, "Go!" They are all bitter children, and it is not easy to eat a full meal all year round, and people have helped us a lot. ”

"Okay!" Qiu Lian led the children out, and Li Qingjie followed, "Qiu Lian, soak the instant noodles in boiling water and eat them." ”

"I know that." Qiu Lian said shyly, "I've seen people eat in the county. ”

Li Qingjie was just about to turn around, adapted to the dark eyes, and looked at the four-and-a-half-year-old children, who were cold at night in the mountains, and the clothes they were wearing were not covering, and they were actually barefoot, so they ran over. Seeing the children blink and look at him with innocent eyes and smiles, the words were swallowed again. He was standing here, making them even more uncomfortable.

After Li Qingjie walked away, Qiu Lian peeled the ham sausage and gave them one by one, and after holding it with black hands and paws, she sniffed hard with her nose and gently took a small bite.

"Brother, what does it smell like?" He stared at his eldest brother's ham.

"Ergua, you glutton, it's really Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit - I don't know what it tastes like" The big melon glanced at him, broke half of it and handed it to him, "This will be eaten slowly." ”

As soon as Ergua took a bite, he raised his eyes and saw that no one else was eating, so he asked blankly, "Why don't you eat it?" ”

"Go home and give your younger siblings a try."

"Oh! Then I won't eat it either. Ergua looked at them, and then looked at the half of the ham in his hand, and put it down.

"Silly boy, there's still one here, take another one when you go." Qiu Lian's heart was slightly pantothenic, there is no shortage of land in the mountains, but it is scattered all over the mountains, most of the places are scattered because of the high terrain, there is no water, and they can only watch the sky to eat, and the yield is not high in good years. But the people in the mountains are really humane, and the land they take care of Qiu Lian's family is close to home, and it can be regarded as a relatively flat and good land. During the spring ploughing and autumn harvest, the neighbors will come to help, and there is not much production in the field, and they can barely wrap their stomachs. Every day in the pot is a pot of clear soup, floating a few vegetable leaves, no oil flowers can be seen, with a black multigrain cake day. Occasionally, stir-fried wild vegetables are rare and delicious, and oil stars are rare in the dishes.

The room did not have any soundproofing effect, and the people inside naturally heard it clearly, He Junyao was holding chopsticks, his eyes darkened, and the dishes on the table suddenly lost their taste, although he had seen more difficult and worse situations than this. But on the land of their own country, the children can't even eat enough, and they feel uncomfortable.

The sunrise and sunset rest, the ancestors repeat the same life from generation to generation, the natural cycle of birth, old age, sickness and death, and the greatest wish of the people living in this land is to have a few sons, and the whole family can eat to their heart's content. The peasants' aspirations are small and small.

Poverty breeds ignorance, ignorance breeds ignorance. Maybe it's not another kind of happiness to live in a daze?

There is no entertainment in the mountains, and the family closes the door to sleep as soon as it gets dark, and the candles are also rare things that can be lit for a while during the New Year, and everyone uses kerosene lamps. A small thick bowl or saucer, the edge of the bowl is a grass-rubbed lamp, a match is lit, a real lamp is like a bean wind through the cracks in the doors and windows, and the shaking is called a disaster, which can make people's hearts hang in the air and feel sorry for it. For example, the kerosene lamp made of Qiu Lian's household inkwell is a high-grade lamp.

Qiu Lian watched the water in the pot boil, soaked in instant noodles, and the four children held the bucket in their hands and left. "Alas! Whatever you want, run and burn carefully. "When I think about it later, I understand that I must have shared it with others.

"Brother Plug, let's eat!" Qiu Lian held the bucket in her hand, quietly walked out of the door, and handed it to a dark shadow standing by the door.

"Hey...... How did you know I was here? A young man scratched his head and stepped out of the shadows.

"The dog can't eat enough, and you big and tall man definitely can't eat enough." A blush flashed on Qiu Lian's face, "Why don't you wear a shirt and run out shirtless, it's not cold!" Come on in, sit by the stove, it's warm. "Pressed him down on a wooden pier.

The young man looked at Qiu Lian with a smirk, "Hehe......"

"Eat noodles quickly, what are you doing looking at me smirking?" Qiu Lian urged.

"Lian'er, who's coming?" Mu Huirong shouted inside the house and outside the house.

"Mother, Brother Bolt is here." Qiu Lian stood by the bead curtain and twisted her clothes, and said in a thin voice.

"Auntie, it's me!" The bolt put the noodles on the stove, lifted the curtain and stood in the doorway. "Thank you for the leftovers for the dog."

He Junyao glanced up, a ten-year-old young man, his body was particularly strong, his upper body was naked, and on such a cold day, he was wearing a pair of pants on his lower body, and there were patches on them. Barefoot, a bronzed tendon like iron. The face of the Chinese character, the eyebrows are very thick, and the eyes are bright, especially when they look at the little girl standing outside the door, they are very bright, and the fools can see that they are concubines, but obviously the mother-in-law is obviously not satisfied.

You see, Mu Huirong looked at Nier's shy and timid appearance, she didn't get angry, and her brows furrowed even tighter. It's not that the bolt is not good, he is sincere, hardworking, kind and has good hunting skills, but the two families are too close, poorer than her family, and there are more brothers and sisters in the family, and he is the eldest in the family. As a mother, she is already very sorry for her child, and hopes that she will marry well in the future. But now, will the two continue to suffer and suffer in the future?

What does Mu Huirong want to say? 'Boom......' There were a lot of people in the house at once.

"Second uncle, why are you here? Third uncle, why did you get up so late? Mu Huirong hurriedly stood on the edge of the kang to the ground.

"The rare things you gave to the big melon and the second melon shocked the whole village to wake up, let's take a look." Second Uncle Qiu rubbed his hands on his pants a lot, and stretched out his hands, "Hello, I am the village chief of this village, and I am also the second uncle of Qiu Zi's family according to my generation." ”

Li Qingjie stretched out his hand, held his hand, which was very thick and rough, shook it twice, and let go. He Junyao also stretched out his hand and shook it twice, letting go.

"This is the third uncle, you sit." Mu Huirong helped him sit on the kang.

"His second uncle, you can sit too." Mu Huirong greeted, "You guys, I'll go out and greet the guests." "It's strange that the men in the family are out, and the women can still stay.

Second Uncle Qiu is a typical peasant man, exposed to the wind and sun, obviously often going to the ground, dark skin, deep wrinkles on his face, his eyes narrowed into a slit, he glanced at the food on the kang table, without Hui Rong to let him, he sat on the edge of the kang where she was originally sitting. "Where are you two distinguished guests?" (Your support on this site is my biggest motivation.) )
