"Uh, cough, cough, cough,......" Yun Fang swallowed a mouthful of cabbage in his mouth halfway through, and was stopped by his father's words, and he couldn't go up or down, Yun Fang coughed loudly, and his face turned red.

Sister Yunhua on the side saw the embarrassment of her little sister, she hurriedly put down the rice bowl, patted her back lightly, pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly, "You eat slowly, eat slowly, you just want to eat braised pork with more salt, and you have to wait until the New Year." ”

Brother Dashan also made fun on the side, "Little sister, don't worry, when the time comes, my brother will eat a few bites less, and I will save it for you." ”

It seems, it seems, there seems to be a lack of salt here, Yun Fang suddenly realized, she coughed while collecting the limited information she had been waiting for, and came to this conclusion with hindsight. Just now, my father and mother talked about the Li family's request for help from my father, and the reward would be a bag of salt, and my mother seemed to be very happy.

It turned out that they had been eating so lightly, not to prevent any wealth disease, but to be forced to have no salt.

Thinking of this, Yun Fang finally swallowed the cabbage and relieved his breath.

Facing the family's good-natured ridicule, Yun Fang pouted cheekily, and took a big mouthful of light cabbage angrily, "Hmph, I'm not rare and salty braised pork, I like this light boiled cabbage, I'll eat it for you now!"

"Okay, okay, let's just like it, we don't have anything else in our family, cabbage and radish can still manage Xiaoyi's fullness," Dashan stopped talking, stretched out his hand, rubbed Yunfang's hair dotingly, and suddenly changed the topic, "Today, thanks to the small stone, I didn't go to the runway quarry for a while, I originally invited him to come to the house for dinner together, by the way, ......"

Before Dashan's words were finished, Yun Hua interrupted Dashan's words with a frown, "Brother, you, are you going to go to the quarry?

"Xiaohua, don't worry about it first," Dashan waved his hand gloomily, "The quarry is a little dangerous, but the wages given there are also the highest, if not, if it weren't for my leg, I really want to fight." ”

Dashan raised his hand to interrupt the exclamations of his mother and sisters, and laughed self-deprecatingly, "Don't worry, I won't come nonsense, Xiaoshi is right, I can't do this, if I go like this, my family will not be at ease for the rest of my life." ”

"Alas, that's an understanding child," Lan Qingsheng shook his head regretfully, but his eyes drifted to his eldest daughter Yunhua, "It's a pity, it's a pity." ”

Yunhua didn't seem to see his father's gaze at all, and his face was slightly unnatural and diverted the topic, "Xiaoshi said that he was going to fetch water for the third grandmother's house, it seems that he is in a hurry, and the water in the well at the head of the village is completely undrinkable?"

Yunhua's words finally succeeded in attracting everyone's attention, and a trace of helplessness flashed on Dashan Niang's face, "Alas, the water from the well at the entrance of the village is getting more and more bitter, and even the color has turned gray, there is really no way to drink it, and if you want to drink water again, you have to pick it up to the new well three miles away in the north." ”

"Alas, this well is also the same as the wells in the mountains in the south, and it can't be drunk," Lan Qingsheng also shook his head helplessly, and said regretfully, "The water in our area is really bad, we will have to change a well in a few years, and it will be farther and farther." ”

Dad and Mom's helplessness is beyond words, they are a family like them to eat and drink, but Dashan's legs are disabled, Yunhua and Yunfang are both girls, not tall, and their strength is not great, and this matter of carrying water has always been a matter of Daddy alone.

However, my father has to take advantage of the slack time to help other people's families do some work to earn some pocket money, and sometimes it is inevitable that he will be a little too busy.

This kind of embarrassment is something that everyone knows about, but because of the mountains, no one will say it.

However, Lan Yunfang is no longer the original Lan Yunfang, she is Lan Danxi, a modern soul from thousands of years later, a girl who has received a modern education and likes to watch all kinds of strange things on the Internet when she has nothing to do.

Just a few days before she traveled to this era, she watched a famous documentary "A Bite of China", and was particularly interested in the delicious taste of the deep mountains of Yunnan mentioned above - Dunno ham and Dunno ancient salt, so she also looked up a lot of relevant information on the omnipotent Internet.

Now, listening to the helplessness of her father and mother, her first thought was not the embarrassment of her brother Dashan, but those abandoned bitter wells. Without thinking about it, she broke the silence and asked, "Dad, where are those abandoned wells you mentioned?"

"It's in that little valley to the south, just three or four miles from our house. Dad pointed to the dark outside, frowned, and asked strangely, "Xiao Fang'er, why do you ask these strange questions today? ”

"I'm ,......" Yun Fang's eyes rolled, and for things that were not yet sure, she decided to keep silent, she gently stuck out her tongue and told a white little lie, "I, I just asked casually, I figured it out today, I have grown up, I want to know more things, in case I can use it one day." ”

"Okay, you'll use it later. The mother was obviously a little unimpressed by Yun Fang's words, she smiled lovingly, and urged dotingly, "Don't say it, eat it quickly, the food should be cold in a while." After eating, go to the bed early to get warm. ”

"I see. Yun Fang happily answered, and buried herself in the fragrant meal again.

After eating a feast and listening to everyone's small talk for a while, Yun Fang's upper and lower eyelids began to fight, and the biological clock that she had cultivated in the past two months began to work, and it was just nine o'clock, she, she was a night owl, and she was sleepy!

Yun Fang decided to follow her mother's advice, and without waiting for her sister to come back from washing the pot and washing the dishes, she yawned and fell into the bed.

Because of the comfort of dinner, the thin quilt that I used to feel was much thicker, and the hand-woven coarse cloth quilt had a smell of the sun, which was really comfortable.

There's no messy pollution, there's no industrial interference, it's all so pleasant, it's so nice. Yun Fang sighed with satisfaction, and fell asleep dimly.
