The people who live on the left and right of her house are surnamed Hu, and on the left are two boys, one is five years old, named Hu Tian! A seven-year-old named Hu Di! I remember that when Xiao Ju heard the two brothers introduce themselves, she almost couldn't hold back her laughter. I don't know how their parents got famous!

On the right are two girls, a nine-year-old named Hu Taohua; A ten-year-old named Pear Blossom! When she heard the names of these two girls, Xiaoju was very glad that her parents didn't call her chrysanthemum, otherwise it would be really hard not to be depressed! Flower! It's really dirty. Could it be that the girls in this Zhuangzi are all called flowers?

Because of knowing these friends, Xiaoju took her younger brother to expand her range of activities a lot, and sometimes took her younger brother to play in the village. From the mouth of the people, Xiaoju knew that the place where she lives now is called Hujiazhuang, and the people who live here are mainly people surnamed Hu.

The amount of rain in this place is not as good as in the south, and there are only a few heavy rains throughout the spring, and the people in the village mainly rely on an old well in the village to drink water! The winter is cold, the wind and sand are strong, and the rain is scarce, so the people here either live in the cave or in the village! Moreover, the fields in the farm are not wheat, but sorghum and corn, and judging by the signs of this planting, this should be the north.

After a period of exploration, Xiaoju found that there were many people who were as poor as her family and had no land, and they all dug a few caves on the mountain wall near the village to live like her family. Those who have money and land live in the village with earthen walls and tiled houses with yards, like Hu Fu's family, which lives in blue brick and tile houses, and has a front yard and a backyard.

Sometimes Xiaoju also feels that her fate is not good, why doesn't she wear it to Hu Fu's house? At least you can live comfortably and eat comfortably, right? Not like now, not only dressed like a refugee, but also lived in a broken cave where the food was not as good as that of a modern beggar! The only thing worth consoling is that my father and mother are really good! That's really hurting children!

On this day, my father, who had been out for nearly two months, came back, and my mother also came back early from Hu Fu's helper's house, and brought some leftovers back to cook dinner for the family. This is the advantage of being a cook in a large family, and from time to time I bring back some leftovers from the main family, and these leftovers are better than my own ones. Sometimes there are fish and chickens and the like.

If she is still living in modern times, how can Xiaoju be willing to eat other people's leftover meals? But here, these are all delicious, or the blessing of my own wife as a cook, so I have some oil and water every day, otherwise like the two families next door, not to mention oil and water, I can only eat two meals a day, and I heard that each meal can only eat half full.

Hu Tian, Hu Di, Hu Taohua, and Hu Lihua don't know how much they envy Xiaoju's two sisters and brothers, not only can they eat three meals, but they also have meat to eat every day. As soon as she thought of this, Xiao Ju's somewhat tangled heart calmed down.

Today, Dad not only came back, but also brought a gift to Xiaoju sister and brother, the younger brother's gift was a small piece of sticky maltose, as for Xiaoju's gift, under Xiaoju's shining gaze, Daddy Hu finally took out a small stone from his pocket, handed it to Xiaoju's hand, and said: "Xiaoju, this is a beautiful stone that Daddy has been looking for a long time on the bank of the river, and only found a more beautiful stone!" ”

Xiao Ju took the small stone that her father called a gift, and her heart was scorched on the outside and tender on the inside by these two treatments, saying that her father and mother usually don't have a patriarchal cousin? But what is the difference between these treatments at this time?

"Xiaoju, aren't you happy? Get your collection of small stones out and let's take a look! Xiao Ju Niang saw her daughter, who looked dull after receiving the stone gift, and thought that she was too happy, so she hurriedly spoke. In fact, she is also very curious in her heart, and she is very puzzled that her daughter likes to collect small stones and does not like snacks.

Xiao Ju originally complained in her heart that the father and mother of this body were patriarchal, but at this time, she heard Xiao Ju Niang ask about the small stones that this body had collected before? Turning in her mind, she suddenly thought that when she was exploring treasures at home, there was a broken jar placed on the kang foot in the black cave where she slept, which contained many small stones of different sizes and shapes. But it turned out to be the special fetish of the original owner of this body!

Now Xiaoju didn't care about her mother's jokes, hurriedly entered the cave, and moved the jar of stones accumulated by the original owner to the mouth of the cave.

Xiao Ju took out the stones in the broken jar one by one and looked at the light, not to mention, each stone has its own special features, which reminded Xiao Ju of the rain flower stones that his friends bought back when they went out to play in modern times. I can't see that the hobby of the original owner of this body is so elegant, which makes Xiao Ju, who has always thought highly of herself, a little ashamed.

Xiao Ju admired and played with them one by one, just when the jar was about to be empty, Xiao Ju was stunned by a stone in his hand, this stone was oval, brown in color, faintly revealing an aura, the most incredible thing for Xiao Ju was that there was a faint painting on this stone.

Although the lines are blurred, you can also see a house, there is a well in front of the house, and there is a hand-cranked wheel for drawing water at the mouth of the well, and there are several fields not far from the well.

Just as the sun was about to set, Xiao Ju carefully looked at this stone that made her feel weird, and finally the ghost made Xiao Ju bite her finger with her teeth, so that the blood flowing from her fingertips flowed on this small stone.

As Xiao Ju hoped in her heart, the blood flowing on the small stone was slowly absorbed, and as more and more blood was absorbed, the small stone became more and more transparent, and finally disappeared in front of Xiao Ju's eyes. Xiao Ju looked at the palm of Ben's right hand holding the small stone, and as the small stone disappeared, a very pale brown birthmark in the shape of an oval garden appeared!

Xiao Ju's heart was beating very fast at this time, and the scene in front of her was similar to the one described in the fantasy novels she read in modern times, but unfortunately she couldn't try it now, so as to confirm the conjecture in her heart. During this period of time, Xiao Ju has been looking for treasures around the cave at home, just thinking that God will definitely compensate for letting him come to this poor place, and sure enough, the sky has eyes!

Xiao Ju was looking at the oval fetal in the palm of her right hand and laughing stupidly, and her father's voice suddenly came from her ears: "Xiao Ju, quickly help my little brother wash his hands and get ready for dinner!" ”

Xiao Ju woke up from the smirk, hurriedly pulled up the little brother who was eating the maltose, and grabbed her stone to play with her sticky little hands, took the little stone back into the jar at will, and pulled the little brother to the kitchen to scoop water and wash his hands.

When the family sat at the kang table in the middle cave, Xiaoju found that the leftovers brought back by her mother today were really rich, there were more than half a fish, a small half bowl of braised pork, and a big bowl of chicken soup! Xiao Ju Niang smiled and said: "Today, Hu Dafu's eldest son came back from the school in the provincial capital, and we also thank him!" ”

Xiao Ju's father, Hu Daring, stretched out his chopsticks early to help Xiao Ju and his son each clip two pieces of braised pork, and said with a doting face: "Xiao Ju, be strong!" Eat! Those who are well fed will grow tall and strong! When Xiao Ju heard this, her face turned dark, and she was still tall and strong? She didn't want to!

But in this oily and watery place, braised pork is very popular. Xiaoju didn't shirk, just two pieces of braised pork, Huhu ate two pieces of baked corn tortillas, and drank a bowl of chicken soup from her mother. The small belly is unbearable. Looking at Xiao Mimi's father and mother who looked at her and Zhuang Zhuang, I only felt warm in my heart.

Seriously, the father of this body is really not good-looking, and he seems to be more than loyal, but not shrewd. And the mother is also stout and stout, and she has nothing to do with beauty. Fortunately, Xiaoju has inherited the advantages of the two people, and she looks like a beautiful little girl! Otherwise, if she looks like her father or mother, Xiaoju will really cry to death.

After dinner, Xiao Ju's father Hu Daring and Xiao Ju Niang sat on the kang and chatted for a while, Hu Daring took out a piece of silver dollar and a roll of banknotes that had been hidden on his body with a look of anger, and happily handed them to Xiao Ju Niang.

Xiao Ju looked at the roll of banknotes, and wanted to know very much about the era she was in, so she didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, she reached out and took a banknote from her mother's hand, and looked at it carefully under the oil lamp. The banknote is actually printed with the head of Sun Yat-sen, it seems that it is the Republic of China period, but I don't know how many years it is the Republic of China.

Xiao Ju Niang counted the roll of banknotes, and took the one in Xiao Ju's hand back and sorted it out, and said with a smile: "Daring, we have already saved three silver dollars, right?" Save a little more, and you can repair the cave at home. ”

"Well, it's time to fix it comfortably! child, you follow me and make you suffer! Hu Daring looked at Xiao Juniang affectionately and said.

"What are you talking about? What's more, I don't feel bitter! Xiao Ju Niang glanced at Hu boldly and said with a blushing face.

Xiao Ju watched her father and mother in front of her, just playing fancy, and she was very embarrassed. After all, there is a thirty-year-old woman inside, where is the five-year-old girl who doesn't know anything? I had to pretend to yawn a lot and said, "Dad, mother!" I'm sleepy! ”

The father and mother, who were looking at each other affectionately, found that their daughter was looking at them sleepily, and their son had already nested on the kang and whirring, and the two couldn't help but blush.

Xiao Juniang hurriedly got off the kang and poured hot water for her daughter. After Xiaoju washed her face and feet, she went back to her small cave.

After returning to her small cave, she said that she was sleeping, but in fact, she studied the new birthmark on her right palm by the moonlight that came in through the small window.

In her heart, Xiaoju hopes that this is a space where she can farm, as she said in the novel. After all, there is no land in the family, and I rely on my father and mother to work everywhere to make a living. It's nothing good in the world, but today from the avatar on the banknote, we can guess that this era is the Republic of China, and the Republic of China is an era of many disasters in Xiaoju's mind!
