After Xiao Ju knew that Sun Ruren might not be able to come back until very late, she didn't ask any more questions, and decided to go to the field hospital to find someone the next day. After all, she is not really an ignorant little girl, and she is not really timid.

After eating lunch at Sun's house, she said goodbye to Yang Mushroom, and Sun Meimei was clamoring to go to Xiao Ju's house to play, Yang Mushroom had no choice but to let Sun Pengfei accompany her, and told Xiao Ju that she would go to school in the afternoon to help Meimei and Zhuang Zhuang report a good name! Xiaoju is naturally grateful.

When Sun Pengfei and Sun Meimei came to Xiao Ju's house, they were very envious when they saw Xiao Ju's two houses with warm furnishings and complete furniture, as well as the kitchen with an area of twenty or thirty square meters. You must know that in addition to buying some kitchen utensils to solve the three meals a day first, the family of three still sleeps on the floor!

When Xiao Juniang saw Sun Pengfei and Sun Meimei, the joy on her face could be detected by no matter how careless she was. Although he knew that his children were returning home from the Sun family, they still brought out her fragrant muntjac broth, Sun Pengfei and Sun Meimei had not been touched by the smell of meat for more than two months, and when they smelled this strong meat fragrance, the saliva immediately filled their mouths.

After all, Sun Pengfei is older, although he is very eager for broth in his heart, but he said politely: "Aunt Liu, we have just finished lunch, and our stomachs are full!" ”

Sun Meimei had already shouted with joy: "Broth? Aunt Liu, Meimei wants to drink broth! Let Sun Pengfei look at such a sister who doesn't know what politeness is, and only feel headache and shame.

"Good! Aunt Liu helps Mei Meisheng! Xiao Ju Niang happily went to get the bowl, and Meimei had already pulled Zhuang Zhuang to sit at the table. These two guys seem to have a lot in common in eating, and they are both staring at the big pot of fragrant muntjac broth on the table with glowing eyes.

Xiao Ju looked at the strength and beauty of staring at the broth, but her heart was worried about the material poverty of this era, and she walked around the street all morning today, and she found that the varieties of meat and vegetables sold in the vegetable market here were monotonous, and the quantity was not much, but the price was not cheap. And the fish and eggs will not be sold every day, and the fish will be sold only when there are people in the countryside who have free time, and they can only be sold if they are caught in the river. And the chickens and eggs are also to be in the slack time. Countrymen come up to sell to buy it.

However, her small space still has a lot of venison and muntjac. There are also eggs, there is no need to worry about it, there are small treasure bowls that are copied every day, and there is no need to worry about not having to eat at all. But like others. Not as lucky as her family. Vegetables and meat in the vegetable market are so expensive. How many can afford it?

Xiao Ju Niang took a few bowls and came out. A few people laughed happily while drinking broth. "Xiaoju, I've sorted out the two points of land, and I'll get some vegetables to grow later. I spend some time in the afternoon to plant well, plant early and have vegetables to eat early! Xiao Ju Niang drank the soup with a comfortable face, and said to Xiao Ju in a soft tone.

"Mother, I bought the vegetable seeds yesterday and put them in the basket next to the rice and noodle jar." Xiao Ju naturally knew that her mother's words were referring to the vegetable seeds she had collected in Hankou, but fortunately, when her mother said that she wanted to tidy up the vegetable field, she moved the vegetable seeds and various tools for growing vegetables out of the small space, otherwise, Sun Pengfei and Sun Meimei were both at home at this time, so in order not to let these two people suspect, they could only go to the street to find a place to buy.

"Xiaoju, do you still have a vegetable patch?" Sun Pengfei was shocked, Xiaoju's family of three went to Huaihai with his own family, and it was also less than two days, Xiaoju's family arranged their own family properly and comfortably, and now even the vegetable field has been opened, you know, Xiaoju's family has only one adult, and the eldest Xiaoju is four or five years younger than himself!

"My mother just came out today! Right next to the kitchen! Xiao Ju looked at Sun Pengfei's delicate and slender hands, and then looked at his own little hands, although they were not thick, but some rough little hands, and Sun Pengfei has always been very concerned about Xiao Ju, and couldn't help but look at the hands of both sides with her eyes, this look, I couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, and then think about the past two days Xiao Ju's family of three must have been very busy, and I haven't helped my father and mother in the past two days, my mother let me see my sister, and I only know how to complain that my sister is naughty and disobedient.

After reflection, Sun Pengfei, after drinking the broth, followed Xiao Ju and Xiao Ju Niang to the vegetable field to learn to grow vegetables. And Sun Meimei followed Zhuang Zhuang to write and read at the dining table. This is Xiao Ju's requirement for Zhuang Zhuang, no matter what happens, he must read the book for two bells.

When planting vegetables, Xiao Ju told her mother that Yang Mushroom wanted Zhuang Zhuang and Meimei to study in the same school and class, Xiao Ju Niang has always listened to Xiao Ju about the big and small things in the family, since Xiao Ju agreed, how could she have different opinions?

In the evening, Yang Mushroom came to the door, Sun Pengfei and Sun Meimei, two brothers and sisters, were sitting at the table with Xiao Ju's family, eating fragrant meatloaf and drinking vegetable broth, which was still planted by Xiao Ju Niang when she was in Hankou.

As soon as Xiao Juniang saw Yang Mushroom, she immediately welcomed people into the door warmly, and invited Yang Mushroom to have dinner at her house. Yang Mushroom ran for an afternoon before he finished the strong and beautiful things, and at this time, he hadn't even returned home, so he naturally couldn't talk about making dinner. What's more, his family and Xiaoju's family are very good friends on the road, so they are not polite at this time, they got some water from the kitchen tank, washed their hands, and sat down at the table.

"Mother, Brother Zhuang's family eats meatloaf, it's delicious!" Sun Meimei nibbled on the cake in her hand and said towards the mushroom.

"Meatloaf?" Yang Mushroom listened to Meimei's words, reached out and took a bite of a cake into the basin containing the cake, it was really a meat cake, and the meat was very delicious and tender, she was born in everyone, this eat, naturally eat this meat is not like the pork and chicken sold in the market, no matter how carefully you taste it, the mutton is not so tender. I couldn't help but ask, "What kind of meat is this made of?" Tender and smooth! ”

Xiao Ju saw that her mother was asked by Yang Mushroom, her expression was a little flustered, and she hurriedly said: "I don't know, when I went to the street yesterday, I accidentally met a countryman selling meat, thinking that the family hadn't eaten meat for several months, so I bought some back!" Didn't ask what kind of meat it was! ”

"Maybe it's game that the countrymen go up to the mountains to hunt!" Yang Mushroom didn't delve into it, and guessed to himself.

"Possibly!" Xiao Ju saw that the other party accepted her words, so naturally she would not be so stupid as to look for trouble.

While eating, Yang Mushroom looked at the kitchen and dining room of Xiao Ju's family, and said with some envy: "Aunt Liu, this kitchen assigned by your family is very good!" My house is only divided into three rooms, and I don't even have a kitchen, so I can only put a stove in the aisle for cooking! ”

"Mother, Zhuangzhuang's family is not only comfortable in the kitchen, but also has a bed to sleep in at night, unlike our family can only sleep on the ground! Today I'm going to sleep at Zhuangzhuang's house! Sun Meimei said to Yang Mushroom while drinking the soup. Xiaoju's family could only laugh a few times after listening to Yang Mushroom and Meimei's words, and it was difficult to answer, so they could only drink the soup with a bowl.

"Meimei!" As soon as Sun Pengfei heard this, his face immediately darkened, and his voice was a little louder. And Sun Meimei was yelled at by Sun Pengfei, her eyes immediately turned red, and when Xiao Juniang saw it, she hurriedly said: "Okay, Meimei will sleep at Aunt Liu's house tonight!" Let's go to school with Zhuang Zhuang tomorrow! "Xiao Ju Niang has already learned from Yang Mushroom's mouth that the school procedures for Meimei and Zhuang have been completed. In the family area, it is a primary school run by the army to solve the problem of military children going to school.

"Meimei, you are a young lady who is afraid of hardship and tiredness, when your father comes back, I will have a good talk with your father!" Yang Mushroom also turned very bad because of Meimei's request and her dislike for her own family, and said in a somewhat stern tone.

When Sun Meimei saw that her mother and brother's expressions were not as usual, although she felt a little aggrieved in her heart, she was also a little scared, and pouted: "Go back, go back!" I'll come back tomorrow to find Brother Zhuang! ”

When Xiao Juniang saw Yang Mushroom's expression, she naturally insisted on keeping people, but when Yang Mushroom took her children to say goodbye, she put a lot of meat patties specially fried for dinner in a basin, and asked Yang Mushroom to take back for Sun Ruren to taste. Yang Mushroom didn't refuse, and after thanking him, he smiled and left with his children.

As soon as the mushrooms left, Xiaoju's family washed up, boiled hot water and soaked their feet, and then returned to the sleeping room. After arranging for Zhuang Zhuang to go to bed and sleep well, Xiao Ju and Xiao Ju Niang hid in the quilt and talked.

"Mother, tomorrow you take Zhuang Zhuang to follow Aunt Yang to school and see where Zhuang Zhuang goes to school! I'll go to the field hospital early tomorrow morning, and Daddy Luo asked me to find someone! Xiao Ju leaned on the pillow and looked at the top of the account with clear eyes.

"Good! However, Xiaoju, do you think it's possible that your brother-in-law is also in this place? During the meal just now, your Aunt Yang also said that our troops are stationed next to it! Xiao Ju Niang said hopefully.

"I don't know! If I have a chance, I will ask Brother Luo Yong and Brother Zhou Wu! "Xiao Ju naturally won't say that there is more than one base for **, and I have to explain it to Xiao Ju Niang at that time.

"It would be nice if your brother-in-law was also in this place! In that case, I don't have to worry about it! Xiao Ju Niang sighed and said a little abruptly.

"Mother, you don't have to worry, my uncle is not stupid, and he knows martial arts, and now he must have learned to shoot a gun, with his eyes that have practiced martial arts, he must be a sharpshooter! What's more, listening to Luo's father, my uncle is escorting a leader of the army, and he doesn't have to rush to the front, so it shouldn't be dangerous! Xiao Ju comforted.

"Alas, the main reason is that there is no news of your grandma and grandfather, as well as a few uncles, nephews and children, and I don't know where they fled to the famine! If you want to look for it, you can't find it! In addition to you and Zhuangzhuang, there is only one relative left for your brother-in-law! Xiao Ju Niang's words were a little gloomy.

"Mother, you don't have to worry, a few uncles, nephews and children are not stupid, they must have fled to a place to eat a long time ago, and in another four or five years, there will be no more chaos outside, we will go to them!" Xiao Ju had never seen her mother look like this, so she had to give some hopeful consolation. But I didn't have much hope in my heart, you know, in the famine that year, in addition to famine, there was also a famine.
