Chapter 2: Go and borrow food
Shen Qingqing took a lot of effort to reinstall the door, but she staggered and didn't know when it fell down again, Shen Qingqing clapped her hands, and just when she wanted to speak, she saw a cry come into her ears.
When I turned my head, Xiao Douding, who was still standing obediently just now, was rubbing his eyes and crying.
"Little Douding, what's wrong?" Shen Qingqing hurriedly stepped forward and asked carefully.
Xiao Douding wiped his tears and covered his stomach: "Mother...... I'm hungry ......."
Thinking about it this way, I don't know how many hours I've been tossing and turning, and it's normal for Xiaodouding to be hungry.
Shen Qingqing looked left and right, and there was a dark and low room next to it, with only a black shiny pot in it.
The two words can be seen everywhere, and there is no ambiguity at all.
Shen Qingqing looked at the porridge in the pot, although it was very thin, it should not be a problem to eat and dress for the time being.
Thinking about it, she put a bowl into Xiao Douding's hand: "Xiao Douding, you make do with it first, and I'll cook it for you later." ”
Xiao Douding was already crying with hunger, but when he saw Shen Qingqing handing over the porridge, he didn't dare to accept it, and a pair of small black claws swayed in mid-air.
Shen Qingqing wondered: "Why don't you eat it?" ”
Is it difficult for children to be picky eaters?
Xiao Douding's tears that were not easy to stop were crying again when he spoke again: "Mother...... You eat first. ”
Shen Qingqing was stunned for a moment, and took a sip in disbelief, it didn't matter if there was no unpalatable taste, and just when he wanted to throw the porridge into the swill bucket, Xiao Douding hurriedly brought the porridge over, and drank it in two or three sips.
Although this little bean is young, it is too abnormal to get along with Shen Qingqing, even if it was before, but is this porridge too sensible?
Thinking of this, Shen Qingqing squatted down and took Xiao Douding's hand: "Why did you let your mother drink it before you ate it?" ”
"Because all the good things in the house must come with my mother first."
This porridge is as bland as water, is it not a good thing.
Xiao Douding's words shocked Shen Qingqing, and the woman's expression couldn't help but become serious: "Why? Who told you this? ”
Xu is Shen Qingqing's words were stern, and Xiao Douding's eyes were full of fear: "This porridge was drunk by Hao Hao after my mother drank it, Hao Hao didn't make a mistake, don't beat me." ”
"Hit you?"
When Shen Qingqing just wanted to pull Xiao Douding, who knew that he was too scared and wanted to walk away.
As soon as they exerted force on each other, Shen Qingqing saw scratches and scratches under the sleeves of Xiaodouding's clothes.
Although it is not dense, the deep and shallow marks are still extremely conspicuous on the child's delicate skin, which makes people feel distressed for a while.
Shen Qingqing didn't know how to speak for a while, and finally stabilized his emotions: "Little Douding, what's wrong with you?" Did your mother beat you a lot before? ”
Xiao Douding stood in the distance and spoke: "Mother, Xiao Douding is not bad this time, don't beat me." ”
In a word, Shen Qingqing's tears that she had endured for a long time finally fell, and she hugged Xiaodouding fiercely in her arms: "Haohao is not afraid, my mother will never beat you again in the future, and my mother will never beat you again in the future." ”
It's just that he knows that the original owner has a pungent temperament, but he didn't expect that he would be so harsh on his own son, Shen Qingqing was still curious, but now that he thinks about it, it should be the original owner who beats and scolds Xiaodouding at every turn, plus malnutrition, so the child will be thin and thin like this.
Shen Qingqing's nose was sour, and when she was about to speak, Xiao Douding actually stretched out her hand to wipe the tears off her face: "Mother, don't cry, Xiao Douding won't make her mother angry." ”
This child is too well-behaved, even so, he still relies on his mother, which makes Shen Qingqing feel distressed, and she suddenly understands in her heart that the dilapidated scene in the original owner's house needs her to change.
I still can't drink enough porridge, Shen Qingqing's cooking skills are good, I walked into the kitchen and prepared to make something delicious, I didn't look carefully just now, but this time I looked at Shen Qingqing with a wry smile.
On the top of the board was a notched enamel bowl that had not been washed after I knew what had been used, and there was nothing on the floor except rotten radishes and greens.
Not to mention cooking in the pot, whether it will be poisoned after eating it is a question, she can still make do with it, but Xiaodouding is growing her body and it is impossible to make do with it.
It happened that the rain outside had stopped, and Shen Qingqing thought about going to the neighbor's house to borrow something to eat.
From Shen Qingqing's house, there is a family in the alley, and it should be Aunt Wang's house in my memory.
The sun came out just after the rain, and Aunt Wang was fiddling with corn in her yard, and when she saw Shen Qingqing coming over, she just glanced at her: "Qingqing is here." ”
The tone is displeased, and it seems that the original owner is not likeable.
Shen Qingqing was neat, and directly started to help Aunt Wang dry the corn, but Aunt Wang was stunned: "Yo, the sun will hit the west when it rains, and Qingqing has taken the initiative to help me work." ”
"Look at what you said, Aunt Wang." Shen Qingqing heard the teasing in the words. "Aunt Wang, I don't know if there is any extra rice and flour meat at home, I want to borrow some ......"
Who knows, before she finished speaking, Aunt Wang threw the dustpan in her hand on the ground, her hands on her waist, and her sunburned plateau red face moved: "I'm still thinking about something, it turns out that I came to borrow something." ”
Aunt Wang's body is strong, at first glance, she is a good hand at serving the crops, she is the master of the house inside and out, her black hair is coiled up, and she is wearing a blue shirt: "Qingqing, it's not me talking about you, you are a widow who doesn't think about living her life well, but thinks about how to seduce the second son of the Lin family every day, can Lin Nan's thin-skinned and tender scholar take a fancy to you?" ”
What he said was true, Shen Qingqing didn't refute it, just lowered his head and listened.
Aunt Wang was angry: "I said you don't like to listen to ......"
"Aunt Wang, I like to hear everything you say, so I'm not looking for you to borrow some rice and potatoes." Shen Qingqing was thin-skinned after all, and spoke.
Although Aunt Wang's mouth is hurt, she seems to be a real person, and when she saw Xiao Douding, who had been hiding behind Shen Qingqing, she didn't know what she thought of: "Look at you, what kind of beating Haohao day by day, your husband died early, won't you rely on Haohao in the future?" In the future, it is better to fight Hao Hao less than anything else. ”
What she said was reasonable, Shen Qingqing just lowered her head and hurriedly spread out the corn, and she didn't say anything.
When Aunt Wang saw her appearance, she held a dustpan in her hand and sneered: "Do you still have some fancy intestines in your heart?" ”
What kind of spicy should this original owner become, what kind of offended people should be, so that he can't end up with the slightest good words.
When Shen Qingqing was about to explain, Xiao Douding pulled the corner of her clothes and whispered, "Mother, I'm afraid." ”
Because the action was too big, the wound on Xiao Douding's arm was revealed, and Aunt Wang pulled Xiao Douding with a sigh: "Qingqing, you are also a little more vicious, this is still a little child, how can you get down to fight, you see if there is a good place on Haohao's body that was beaten by you." ”
Shen Qingqing was distressed, and she also figured it out, this Aunt Wang didn't know what to do with Shen Qingqing, this time she had to give her a bad face, and she had to be embarrassed by the topic left and right.
The woman was not angry, but just pulled Xiao Douding's clothes down: "He grows fast, and his clothes are short, I am thinking about pulling a new dress for you in the past few days, but the doll is hungry inside, if it is convenient, lend me a little food first, and I will definitely pay it back when the time comes." ”
Shen Qingqing changed her usual high voice, and her low eyebrows were pleasing to the eye, which surprised Aunt Wang.
The corn in the yard was just talking, but it was spread out by Shen Qingqing to dry, and the drying method seemed to be slightly different from usual.
Shen Qingqing saw her puzzlement, touched her hair and said: "That's the case, try to go in the direction of the sun when this corn is dried, I am afraid that the ground will be slippery when it rains, and it will not be good when the corn is damp again, so I dry it like this." ”
She is a college student majoring in agriculture, although the practice is not as much as this Aunt Wang, but according to the theory, it is not difficult, and this drying corn is the basic work.
Aunt Wang's eyes turned left and right, as if Shen Qingqing could poison this jade wood, and finally took a high stool, took a handful of melon seeds and said: "Qingqing, don't abuse me here, you scolded me with empty teeth a few days ago, I still remember this, what?" I think you're a weasel, and you're not kind enough to give a New Year's greeting to chickens. ”
Shen Qingqing looked at her upper and lower mouths one by one, and really felt very funny, but Xiao Douding was not easy for her to argue with here, and she took whatever Aunt Wang said.
After talking left and right for a while, Aunt Wang looked at Shen Qingqing's appearance, I don't know if she suddenly thought of something, but her tone changed: "I think that when your Tie Niu was still there, your family's life was so moist, but now that Tie Niu is gone, you have a dirty mind." ”
"Aunt Wang, you're right." She is a woman, and Shen Qingqing doesn't want to care so much, borrowing food is the most important thing.
Aunt Wang's mouth was suddenly stunned, and she took out a piece of white sugar from the house and handed it to Xiaodouding, which is a rare object for children in the countryside.
When Shen Qingqing was unclear, she spoke: "I look at Haohao pitiful, I heard that Lin Zhong came to your house again today to propose marriage, although he is a bachelor, he is a good hunter, he is kind and honest, his appearance is not as good as that Lin Nan, but after all, he is not ugly, think about it, life is not so difficult." ”
Yo, it seems that the forest has a good evaluation in the village.
On weekdays, Shen Qingqing offended Aunt Wang a lot, and the words just now were deliberately said to grind her ears, but seeing her like this, Aunt Wang said such things in disbelief.
