Xiao Ju Niang looked at Xiao Ju, who was so thin that there was no flesh on her face, but she was still smiling brightly, sighed lightly, stretched out her hand and touched her somewhat yellow and boring hair, and said, "Xiao Ju, Mom knows that you are smart, but it's a pity that you were born in a poor family like us, otherwise ......"

When Xiaoju heard this, she hurriedly said: "Mother, it's just right for my daughter to be born in our family!" When the time comes, I can help my mother earn money to support her family! Xiao Juniang listened to her daughter's comforting words, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

She coughed lightly and said, "Xiaoju, Mom knows that I was tired of you and Zhuang Zhuang yesterday!" We stayed at my grandmother's house for a few more days before we left for the county! When the time comes, my mother will find a rich family to be a cook, and I will definitely let you and Zhuang Zhuang eat three meals a day! ”

"Hmmm! But, mother! I heard my father say that because of the drought this year, there are a lot of people looking for jobs in the county. Xiao Ju's mind turned, and she decided to try to persuade her again.

"We'll talk about it then!" Xiao Ju Niang paused, and the smile on her face disappeared suddenly, revealing a sad look, and said helplessly.

"Mother, why don't we go to Huaxian County and go to other places where there is no drought, okay! How about calling my grandmother's family? Xiao Ju said urgently.

"You little girl! Is this kind of idea out of order? If you have a background away from home, how can you stay in your own place? What's more, as long as there are a few heavy rains in the second half of the year, everyone can be relieved! Xiao Ju Niang's eyes widened, but after all, she was reluctant to scold her sensible daughter, and she still patiently explained.

"But mother, what if there is still no rain in the second half of the year? When everyone has nothing to eat, they will definitely look for something to eat! There were so many people at that time, how could we crowd out others? Xiao Ju said what she had been worried about for so long, but fortunately, she was not in a hurry to lose her sense of proportion, and she also said that there was a locust plague in the second half of the year. Otherwise, don't say that you believe her, maybe you will scold her for being a 'crow's mouth'!

"This ......" Xiao Juniang was at a loss, if what her daughter said was right, then only by leaving this land early could she live.

Xiao Ju saw that her mother's face seemed to be moving intentionally, and she hurriedly added fire and said: "Mother, since we have all left Huzhuang, if we want to go, we will go farther, and the future will be better, and we will come back!" ”

"You little girl, you really have a big idea, and you dare to take an idea of such a big thing?! Don't talk about this, take care of your little feet first! Otherwise, even if you agree with your idea, you won't be able to walk! Xiao Ju Niang thought about it for a while, and finally smiled.

Xiaoju didn't get angry when she saw her mother, and she didn't scold her for being a child, what do you know! Looking at her words, there should be some emotion!

Xiao Ju was about to say something more, so that her mother's heart would be more inclined to her thoughts. Unexpectedly, Zhuang Zhuang woke up at this time, looked at his sister and mother with round eyes, and said with a crying voice: "Mother, sister, my feet hurt so much!" ”

When Xiao Juniang heard it, her heart hurt, you must know that Zhuang Zhuang was only a little more than four years old, and he followed like an adult, and walked for a whole day and a half night, and she didn't cry or make trouble along the way, so sensible that she couldn't help but feel distressed as a mother.

"Be strong, be brave! My sister doesn't like to cry boys! Sister help you blow it, and it won't hurt anymore! Xiao Ju threatened and coaxed.

"Hmmm! Don't cry! But, sister, do you have fragrant fried bread at my grandmother's house? I don't want to blow it, I just need to eat a dough cake and it won't hurt! Zhuang Zhuang looked at Xiao Ju a little sly and asked.

"This ......" You must know that when you go to your grandmother's house, there is a bread to eat, which is just a big cake that she temporarily drew for Zhuang Zhuang when she was walking yesterday, the purpose is to inspire him to move forward. But how can this lie be fulfilled now? The flour in the space can't be taken out, and now the credibility of Zhuang Zhuang here will be lost! Xiao Ju was a little dumbfounded.

Xiao Juniang saw that her daughter, who has always been smart and calm, was stunned by her son's words, and couldn't help laughing: "I'll ask grandma!" So that my family can fry a fragrant and pain-relieving dough! ”

When Zhuang Zhuang heard this, his saliva almost flowed, and after Xiao Ju Niang went out, he smiled at Xiao Ju and said, "Sister, I will share half of you at that time, so that you can stop the pain!" This sentence immediately provoked Xiaoju's tears.

This younger brother of his own family is really caring! It seems that coming to this ghost place is not without a little merit. In addition to Baozi's father, and the family is too poor, the other Xiaoju is quite satisfied.

Ten minutes later, Xiao Ju Niang came in with a bowl, smelled the sweet bread fragrance coming out of the bowl, and smiled happily: "Eat the bread!" ”

Xiao Ju Niang looked at the pair of children with some doting, and said with a smile: "You know that you are greedy!" Fortunately, your grandmother's house still has a little white face, otherwise where would you let your mother find it? As she spoke, she took out a fragrant fried dough from the bowl and handed it to Zhuang Zhuang, who was looking at her.

After Zhuang Zhuang took the dough cake, although he wanted to take a big bite immediately, he still resisted the temptation of this dough cake, tore off half of it and handed it to Xiao Ju and said, "Sister, half of each of us!" Xiao Ju's eyes immediately turned red, the little man who was only more than four years old was able to give her half of the small dough, and it was on this day when she couldn't eat enough.

Xiao Juniang looked at her son with some relief, and said with a smile: "Zhuangzhuang, really capable!" Your sister has it too! Eat quickly, grow up quickly, and help A-Niang make money to buy white noodles! ”

When Zhuang Zhuang heard that there was more, he was not polite, he took a big bite of the dough, because he was in a hurry, he almost choked, so frightened that Xiaoju hurriedly patted him on the back and smoothed the bread.

Xiao Juniang looked at the two sisters and brothers who took care of each other, and felt that no matter how tired and hard it was, it was worth it. Xiao Ju didn't eat the small piece of bread left in the bowl, but only pulled a third, and let Xiao Ju eat the remaining two-thirds.

Zhuang Zhuang looked at it, and did the same, and asked Xiao Juniang to eat most of the remaining half of the cake in his hand. It only made Xiao Juniang's eyes red, and tears were about to fall again. In the end, the three of them sweetly ate the two small cakes.

In this way, Zhuang Zhuang and Xiaoju stayed on the kang for three days, and only after the bubbles on their feet were completely healed did they get off the kang. During this time, my grandparents and uncles took turns to come into the room to see the two little children, and took out some of the small amount of food and noodles at home, and helped the two sisters and brothers to cook dry meals, while they themselves drank the meals. Even a few cousins in the family are drinking mush. These are all said by Xiao Ju Niang, Xiao Ju and Zhuang Zhuang.

Now Xiao Ju also felt a little guilty in her heart, and the idea of persuading her grandfather, the whole family, to leave early was even stronger.

Today is the first time that Xiaoju and her strong feet have dinner with her grandmother's family. Only then did she realize that there were a lot of people in her grandmother's house! There are four uncles, three aunts, four cousins and a cousin. As for the fourth uncle, it was Liu Zhu who helped her house open the door that night, and he hadn't discussed his relatives yet.

The eldest uncle has two sons: Liu Yi and Liu Er, one is nine years old and the other is eight years old; The second uncle has a son and a daughter: Liu San and Liu Donger, the son is seven and a half years old, and the daughter is only five years old, younger than Xiaoju; The third uncle has only one son: Liu Si, who is six years old. Because there was no separation, my grandfather, grandmother, three uncles, three aunts, four cousins and one cousin all ate together.

The adults sat at the table of eight immortals, while the seven children sat around a small table and waited for a few aunts to bring something to eat.

As Xiao Ju expected, dinner is a bowl of corn paste for both adults and children. But what Xiaoju never expected was that what was served in front of everyone was just paste, and there was an extra little white flour cake in front of her and Xiao Zhuang. In the past, I was hiding in the room, and it was not as abrupt as it is today.

Looking at the little children at the table drooling and staring at the little white flour cake in front of her and Zhuang Zhuang, today's special treatment made her feel very uneasy and inappropriate. Zhuang Zhuang didn't care, just looked at the small bread in front of him silly.

Xiao Ju thought about it, reached out and picked up the small dough cake placed in front of her, and handed it to the only cousin Dong'er sitting beside her, Dong'er happily reached out to pick it up, but she didn't expect to be suddenly snatched away by a hand that came horizontally. Xiao Ju looked up, but it was Liu Er, the son of his uncle, and saw that he quickly put the small dough cake he had grabbed in his mouth and took a big bite. When Dong'er saw it, her mouth was deflated, and she cried with a wow.

As soon as the second aunt heard Dong'er's cry, she immediately stood up from the table of the eight immortals and walked towards the small table where the children were sitting. ”

The second aunt looked up and saw that Liu was holding the small half of the small bread that was left, and his mouth was still bulging, and the anger in his heart also came up, this kid often grabbed Dong'er's food, and was not humble to his sister at all. So he reached out and took back the small half of the dough cake in Liu's second-hand and handed it to Dong'er. This time it was Liu Er's turn to quit, his mouth was open, and he cried with a wow.

Liu Er's cry immediately attracted the eldest aunt, not to mention that when the second aunt passed Xiao Ju's small table, the adults at the table of the Eight Immortals were all paying attention.

The scene where the second aunt snatched the small half of the dough cake from Liu Shuang'er to Dong'er had long been seen clearly by the eldest aunt, so as soon as this person rushed over, without saying a word, he snatched the small half of the dough that Dong'er got in his hand again. Dong'er cried because the smile on her face had not faded when she took the small bread back, and she cried because the small bread was robbed.

The second aunt was furious, stretched out her hand, pointed at the eldest aunt's nose and scolded: "You are an elder, your son robbed his sister of food, not only did he not teach, but he also came up to rob his nephew and daughter without shame, if this continues, I think your son will be no different from those gangsters in the village in the future!" ”

The eldest aunt sneered: "What about my son, that's my business!" In this world now, if you can eat in your mouth, that's your ability! Who made your daughter incapable of even a little food? What's more, the small flour cake was not fried for her in the first place, and she didn't have the good fortune to eat white flour cake! ”

"What did you say?" The second aunt was furious.

"What do I say? Your daughter is a money-loser, and my son doesn't have a small bread to eat, so she wants to eat it? Then go and be a child bride for the landlord's family? Or be a girl for a rich family? Why stay in this poor house? ”

The eldest aunt said a little meanly.

“……”

Liu Er and Dong'er saw that their mother was scolding, but they didn't cry, they both wiped their tears, and sat at the small table and glared at each other. And Xiao Ju looked at such an eldest aunt and second aunt, as well as the escalating village scolding, and was a little dumbfounded, could it be that this is a 'bloody case' caused by a dough cake?

In the past few days, I have been moved by the concern of my grandparents and several uncles, and I want my mother to persuade my grandmother's family to leave Huaxian County together.
