"Xiaoqing, why are you still sending food!"

Han Xiaoshi, who was working in the fields, wiped the sweat on his forehead with his blackened hands stained with grass juice, and scolded him with distress and relief.

"Mother is not hungry, you and your sister have some food."

With a little reproachful words, looking at the son carrying the clay pot and the little daughter holding the clay bowl looking at her and laughing, Han Xiao's heart softened and spoke again, and his tone softened.

Of course, Han Xiao was hungry, and he had eaten so much food in the morning, but now that he had been working in the field for most of the day, that bit of food had long since disappeared.

At this time, looking at the boiled whitish fish soup and the fish meat inside, smelling the tempting fragrance, Han Xiao only felt even hungrier.

Just thinking of the small amount of surplus food at home, as well as the 5,000 money borrowed from the head of the neighboring village a few days ago, Han Xiao gave up the idea of eating this meal.

Taking medicine to cure diseases is a very expensive thing no matter what era it is.

It's okay to have a minor illness, but in case of a major illness, it is not enough for the entire family to empty out half of their life savings.

In later generations, there are various subsidy policies such as medical insurance, but today's Great Sui does not have these.

Han Cheng's predecessor fell into the water and then fell into a high fever and coma, which is generally not a serious illness in later generations, but in this era, it is an existence that can directly kill people!

According to the Han family's family background, naturally there is no money to invite Langzhong, although the people in Qingque Village are more friendly, but the farmers at this time are actually almost the same, and there is no spare money, so in desperation, Han Xiao had to grit his teeth and go to the Yang Village Zheng Uncle Liu and her to go to the chief's house in the neighboring village to borrow life-saving money.

Na Langzhong is also a quack doctor, and he spent all the three thousand money that Han Xiao borrowed from the chief family in the neighboring village for the first time, and Han Cheng's illness did not improve. So Han Xiao had to grit his teeth and borrow another 2,000 yuan.

Fortunately, it worked this time, and when there were only more than two dollars left for the two thousand dollars spent, Han Chengqi, who had no success, came back to life.

The 5,000 yuan is agreed to be repaid after the summer harvest and the previous batch after the autumn harvest.

It's just that when the money was repaid, the five thousand dollars had become seven thousand dollars.

Farmers have no good way to make money, so they can only take good care of their crops, and then use the land to produce to cope with various expenses.

A few years ago, it was better, the husband was at home, and the taxes collected by the government were relatively light, and the year was busy, and after mixing food and clothing, he could still accumulate a thing, but in recent years, the government has collected more and more things.

After the poll tax is paid, there is not much left of the year's hard-earned income.

That's it, and then another grain will be paid to the righteous warehouse.

In the past, this thing was considered voluntary, and most of the large households took the lead in paying some to cope with the famine year, but then it was somehow taken over by the government, and the payment of grain became mandatory from the previous voluntary.

After paying for this series of things, the rest of the food is not enough, what do you have to pay back......

I can't think about this thing, as long as I think about it, Han Xiao's heart feels stuffy, and the cloud of gloom is bleak.

When her husband was around, she was better, someone stood in front of her to shelter her from the wind and rain, and now her husband has not returned from his service for two years, and there is no news, maybe he is no longer there......

The burden of the whole family was on her shoulders, and all she could do was grit her teeth and stiffen.

But Han Xiao did not regret borrowing money from the chief family of the neighboring village, because this was saving his son's life!

Fortunately, now Xiaoqing has become sensible, no longer as naughty as before, and can still get food at home......

"Mother, eat quickly, you can only work with strength when you are full."

Han Cheng fished out a large bowl of fish soup from the clay pot and brought it to Han Xiao's face, the kind with more fish pieces and less soup.

As for Han Xiao's words that he was not hungry, he was directly ignored by Han Cheng.

"Mother, try it, the fish soup made by my brother is delicious!"

The little girl was also cheering and helping.

"Mother, you can eat some, this is the first time my little brother has cooked."

Han Xing also smiled and spoke.

"You ......"

Han Xiao smiled and spoke, but the words behind him could not be spoken.

"Mother eat!"

She took a deep breath and said loudly, taking the bowl from Han Cheng's hand, lowering her head, her lips just touched the edge of the bowl, but tears rolled down into the bowl first.

Unlike in the past, when I was embarrassed by life and secretly wiped my tears alone, this time it was because I was happy and relieved.

Han Xiao took a big sip, and the fish soup mixed with tears in her mouth only felt that the taste was incomparably wonderful, it was the best tasting food she had ever eaten in her life!

Many times this is the case, children understand a little bit of things, care about their parents, and parents will feel extremely satisfied.

Even if this little care from the children is nothing compared to their own contributions......

Han Xing on the side was also secretly wiping her tears, and the little girl looked at the tearful mother and sister who looked a little confused, I don't know why they were crying after drinking delicious fish soup, and she and her brother didn't rob them......

Han Cheng sniffed on the side, this good jar of fish soup was stunned and turned into tear gas.

In this way, after a long while, Han Xing and Han Xiao's emotions slowly calmed down, and their attention slowly focused on the fish soup they were eating.

Han Xing's eyes gradually widened, and there was some disbelief in the surprise.

As the eldest daughter of the family, and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family after getting married, Han Xing often does things like cooking, and her skills are not bad, and she makes good tea and rice.

And now, she often cooks, but she finds that the food she makes is far less delicious than the bowl of fish soup in her hand.

These fish soups are made by the little brother who cooks for the first time, and this ......

"Little brother, this fish soup ......"

Han Xing, who was holding the bowl and had a fish bone hanging from the corner of her mouth, looked at Han Cheng with surprise and incredulity.

Han Cheng saw Han Xing's reaction, and a senior foodie had a refreshing smile on his face that was surprised by the deliciousness of the food he cooked.

"I don't know, it's just like I'm going to do it, and I do it as I do."

Han Cheng, who showed a senior foodie smile, pretended to be confused there, and touched his head with his hand by the way.

Seeing Han Cheng's action of touching his head, Han Xing immediately reacted, how could he forget what happened to his little brother again?

"If you want to learn, I'll teach you when you cook at night."

Han Cheng said to Han Xing with a smile.

Han Xing, who was already completely fascinated by this delicious fish soup, naturally nodded quickly......

"Hiccup~"

About two quarters of an hour later, Han Xiaoshi, who had put down the dishes and chopsticks, let out a loud burp.

Looking at the empty crockpot, Han Xiao was embarrassed and regretful.

How did you eat so much? This jar of fish soup is enough for my family to eat for a day on weekdays.

It's good now, I was eaten by the two of the big girls in one meal, and it's far from the time to eat, this ...... It's a real waste of food! It won't be like that anymore.

However, the fish soup made by Xiaocheng is really delicious......

Han Xiao, who had just made up his mind that he would never be like this again in the future, couldn't help but smack his lips when he thought of the wonderful taste of this fish soup......
