Chapter 35: Be a Cave Man Again

Xiao Ju Niang saw that her daughter had a kind of hesitation on her little face because of her few problems, and she couldn't help but secretly scold herself, no matter how smart and capable her daughter was, she was only a seven-year-old villain, and she was a thirty-year-old person who began to rely on this villain for everything, and she still had the face to be her mother?

After Xiao Ju Niang scolded herself in her heart, she hurriedly opened her mouth to soothe: "Xiao Ju, you don't have to worry! No matter how chaotic the world is, there will always be a day in the past! Seeing that this year's rain is so abundant, there will definitely be a good harvest in two months! By then, everyone has taken a breather from the drought of the previous two years, and life will slowly get better again! When the time comes, my mother will go to a big family to be a cook, and you and Zhuang Zhuang will definitely be able to eat enough! ”

Xiao Ju listened to her mother's words, and could only smile bitterly in her heart, what about the harvest? Even more terrible natural disasters are yet to come! But at this time, she didn't dare to say anything, for fear of being suspected by her mother! After all, how did she know about that terrible natural disaster, and she really couldn't justify herself.

Zhuang Zhuang is a child's heart, originally saw that his own cave was occupied by his grandparents with three uncles and four uncles, and he was worried that he and his mother and sister had no place to sleep at night, and now he saw that his mother and sister dug a cave and solved the problem of living, so he put down his little liver, and the little belly began to growl.

Xiao Ju heard Zhuangzhuang's rumbling belly, and reached out to touch it, jokingly: "Zhuangzhuang, how can your belly sing?" When Zhuang Zhuang heard this, his face flushed, he lowered his head embarrassedly, and hid in Xiao Juniang's arms, and retorted in a small voice: "People haven't eaten at noon today!" My stomach is crying hungry! Sister only knows that it stinks me, how can my stomach sing? ”

Xiaoju listened to Zhuangzhuang's words, and then remembered that she and her mother only cared about digging holes, and they didn't even care about eating lunch. By this time, the sun was already setting, and it was already past lunchtime, and it was almost time for dinner.

Xiao Ju looked at the small cave of five or six square meters, there was no way to cook food here. But if you build a cooking stove outside the cave, like other families, if the white flour and cornmeal you eat at home are discovered by someone who cares, it will be a big disaster, just like a sheep suddenly appeared in a pack of hungry wolves. It seems that she can only wait for her mother and Zhuang Zhuang to sleep at night, she secretly goes into the space to make it, and every meal is served out and hides in the cave to eat.

Xiao Ju thought as she took out the leftover egg cakes from breakfast from the space and distributed them to Niang and Zhuangzhuang. After the lady ate the dough cake with the water in the water bladder, Xiao Ju Niang raised her head and said: "Xiao Ju, tomorrow our mother and wife will be like others, go up the back mountain to dig wild vegetables!" It's a good thing to fill in, after all, we don't know how long it will be like this! ”

Xiao Ju listened to her mother's words and paused, in fact, she thought very much, she ate a lot of food here, enough for their mothers to eat for many, many years. But after all, I don't know how to explain it, and after thinking about it, in fact, the taste of wild vegetables is not bad, but it needs a lot of oil to fry or cook to be delicious, and she used a small treasure bowl to generate several large vats of oil in her space, except for the fried dough cakes, which barely moved much.

In addition, there are caves dug everywhere on the wall of the back mountain, and the people who live in Huzhuang will have food without cooking at home at that time, and it is difficult to explain this abnormality when it is discovered.

After Xiao Ju thought about this thoroughly, she nodded and said, "Mother, listen to you!" Then we'll go to the cave and get the stove ready. ”

Xiao Ju Niang saw that Xiao Ju agreed to her suggestion, and she breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, now she doesn't treat her daughter as a seven-year-old child in her heart, and she always wants to hear her daughter's thoughts and ask for her consent.

Zhuang Zhuang is young, and he was frightened by the group of superb relatives in the morning, and then followed the cave dug by his mother and sister, and he was already so tired that he yawned. At this time, he filled his stomach and was leaning on Xiao Ju Niang's body and nodding like a chicken pecking rice.

Xiao Ju looked at Zhuang Zhuang with some amusement, and left the bed lightly, asking her mother to put Zhuang Zhuang on the bed to sleep, while she herself lifted the curtain at the entrance of the cave and went out of the hole.

It didn't take long for the strong little chrysanthemum to come out, when the little chrysanthemum was in modern times, the family was also a scholarly family, where did you know how to Lei family village this kind of earthen stove, was helpless there, saw the mother out of the cave, which was like seeing a savior.

As for how to Lei stove, Xiao Ju Niang is still very reasonable. After all, I have always lived in this environment. At this time, seeing Xiao Ju, who had always arranged her and Zhuang Zhuang life like a little adult, standing in the open space in front of the cave with a tangled face, she finally couldn't help laughing, and the depression brought by Hu Da's family in the morning seemed to dissipate a lot.

Xiao Ju, who was struggling with how to make a stove, heard her mother's laughter, and naturally knew that she was laughing at herself, so she didn't follow it now, and stood there with a pout, deliberately not greeting Xiao Juniang.

Xiao Ju Niang looked at Xiao Ju, who was playing a little temperament, but she was not annoyed at all, but walked towards her in a super good mood, you know, now Xiao Ju is a little bit of a seven-year-old girl in Xiao Ju Niang's opinion, otherwise she is always preoccupied, always worried about her mother and younger brother, and Xiao Ju, who has something in the way of her mother and younger brother, makes her look very uncomfortable.

One is to blame Hu Daring, who is a father, who has not taken on the responsibility of a father at all, and also blames her, a mother, who can neither protect her children nor have the ability to support her family, so Xiaoju began to worry at a young age.

Xiao Ju Niang walked in front of Xiao Ju, took the shovel from Xiao Ju's hand and said, "Ju'er, I'll get it!" You go find some stones, anyway, we won't live for long, just a simple stove! ”

Xiaoju saw that her mother came to take over, and she happened to not know how to make a stove, so she listened to her mother's words and went to find a stone. By the time the two of them finally got the stove right, it was already dark. After entering the cave, Xiaoju got some water out of a wooden basin, wiped his body with his mother a little, and the family of three all squeezed into the wooden bed and slept.

Xiao Ju Niang slept soundly in the hole she had dug at this time, and where did Hu Dazhuang, who had not shown up for so long, go?

It is said that Hu Dazhuang saw that he really couldn't find food at home that day, and his mother-in-law was crazy, and his son Zhuang Zhuang always looked at him with the eyes of the enemy, and his heart was quite uncomfortable. But he thinks that the fault is not him, after all, Zhuang Zhuang is his son, isn't he heartbroken if he sells it for food? Isn't there no way around it? What's more, they are not the only ones in the village who sell their children, many people who can't open the pot have sold their own children!

What's more, this mother-in-law actually hides so much private money! Usually forget it! But when is it now, and you still don't take it out to buy food? It should be said that knowing that my father and mother have been eating bark and leaves for so long, and hiding it so tightly, shouldn't this kind of unfilial person be beaten or suspended?

I remember that when my mother-in-law first got married, she was a girl with a good temper and a cool personality, and she was also filial to her father and mother, and she was also kind to her brothers. But in just a few years, everything has changed! Especially after having Xiaoju and Zhuangzhuang, he is even more concerned with his father, mother, brother and sister-in-law.

Just like last time, he gave most of the grain and noodles he got from selling Xiaoju to his parents, and this time he used her private money to buy grain and noodles and almost sent them to his parents. He mainly considered that his father and mother were old and couldn't stand hunger, and he was afraid that they wouldn't be able to survive this hungry year! And they are still young and can withstand hardships, but this mother-in-law actually quarrels with him from time to time for these things, making her face pale. It upset him to death.
