Chapter Twenty-Four: The Original Parents
The water in the river was very clear, so I drank some water, ate the bread given by my aunt slowly, and began to think about the future, this body is still very immature, and now it is even weaker, thinking of the relatives of this body, I pretended to smile inadvertently: "Auntie, I got up late today, do you know where my mother and they went?"
The aunt Wu Su shouted called her Aunt Hui in the village, and she was a warm-hearted person known from far and near in the small village, especially the family of Wu Su who was now in this body, and she took a lot of care of her.
Aunt Hui was pounding the dirty clothes, and when she heard Wusu's question, she turned her head with a smile, her voice was a little bright, "Yesterday, your mother said that she would go to the town market today to buy some things, but I'm afraid that it's still in the town, you don't have to be afraid, go to your aunt's house in a while, and your aunt will make you corn buns to eat, you usually crave this the most." ”
Wu Su knew a little in his heart, "Thank you, auntie." She looked at the shrimp swimming at her feet, and was a little surprised in her heart, "Auntie, auntie, look, there are shrimp here." ”
Aunt Hui didn't fluctuate much, "You kid, it's not the first day you saw shrimp, look at you." Although he said so, he also looked over here happily and said with a smile, "I usually didn't pay attention, there are so many little things here." He didn't react much, and he buried his head in beating his clothes again.
"Auntie, we can get something to eat." Usu had already caught one in his hand, and showed his long beard to his aunt.
"How do you eat this? Xiao Gui'er, you are afraid that you are hungry, and you dare to eat this little thing. She smiled disapprovingly.
Wu Su thought, indeed, no matter what time it is, there are few things like shrimp here, maybe in ancient times or in this world, people didn't know much about shrimp, and there were not a few people who thought that shrimp should not be eaten. She didn't argue with Aunt Hui, she only caught them one by one, just because there was nothing to eat at home, so it was good to catch some shrimp to satisfy her hunger.
Aunt Hui saw her catching shrimp and catching the ground happily, just thought she loved to play, and didn't say anything about her, only told her to be careful not to wet her clothes, she agreed, turned her trouser legs higher, and after a while, she caught a lot, afraid that the shrimp would die prematurely, and she ate the fishy smell for a while, she dug a small sand pit not far away from the damp place, and the water leached out and turned into a small pool, she put all the shrimp in it, looking at the pit that was slowly filled with shrimp, and there was some slight happiness in her heart.
After a while, Aunt Hui finished washing her clothes, "Little Gui'er, I'm ready to go back, don't play in the water." She stood up, she was squeezing the water for the last piece of clothing, and looked at Wusu as she squeezed, and saw that she had caught a small pool of shrimp under black pressure, and smiled, "Why are you catching so many shrimp?" ”
"Auntie, last time I heard someone say that shrimp can be eaten, and now there is not much to eat at home, I want to go back and try it, and if I can eat it, I will be full." She plucked two large leaves beside the creek and made them
The appearance of the paper bag, throwing the shrimp into it one by one, "Auntie, I have seen others eat it, and they can eat it." She looked very haggard, but at the moment her eyes were always smiling, not like in the past, always smiling timidly, but it made people feel a little bright, not like a person after a serious illness.
Aunt Hui felt relieved in her heart, "But this shrimp looks like it's all shells, I'm afraid it's not easy to eat." She believed Usu's words, but she never thought about eating shrimp again, just as she had never thought of eating cockroaches and crickets.
Wusu wrapped two large bags in leaves, and didn't explain much, just smiled sweetly, "Is it done?" Let's go home. ”
"You kid. However, Gui'er, after you recovered from your illness this time, you have spoken a lot more neatly than before, your mother was still busy with your illness a few days ago, and when I come back today, I see you alive and vibrant, and your spirit is so much better than before, I don't know what to be happy about. They went back along the way they came, and Wusu was happy in his heart, and when he listened to Aunt Hui's nagging in his ears, he also felt very kind, and his steps became more and more brisk, and when he was happy, he would hum a song for a while.
Although the family is poor now, but now is a good season, they will live their home like this, indicating that their parents are not very familiar with farming, there is a room at home, when she just looked at it, there is paper, pen and ink in it, but look at the dust on it, it seems that it has not been used for many years, but there are a few farm tools in the next room, but there are a few new, but the end of the handle can be seen to have some years, think about it, it may be that the family is in the middle of the road, and then reduced to a farmer, so that life is so difficult.
She looked at the houses in the neighborhood, which were shabby, but better than theirs.
Aunt Hui left her to eat, Wusu woke up and there was almost no hot stuff in her stomach, she just wanted to go back immediately, boil a pot of water and steam the shrimp to eat, so she pushed her home to see if her father and mother came back, Aunt Hui couldn't keep her, and scolded with a smile, "You dead child, calling you to eat is the same as harming you, come, since you don't stay, take another steamed bun to cushion your stomach, lest your father and mother don't come home and be hungry." ”
Wusu hurriedly thanked her, and Aunt Hui patted her on the head, "Don't be so polite, auntie and your neighbors should help each other a little." Don't run around when you go back, wait at home for your father and mother to come back. ”
After going home, her father and mother did not go home, she went to the kitchen, tried to boil a pot of water, drank some warm water, her stomach felt a little more comfortable, and then steamed the shrimp caught by the river with the remaining hot water.
She was a little helpless, now she couldn't appear in front of Dongsheng with her true identity, and even had to hide this secret to death, sighed, listened to the sound of boiling after the water boiled, and comforted herself, "It's okay, Wusu, after all, you are still in the same world, when you are prepared enough, just slowly approach him." If only you knew you loved him. He threw a few more sticks of firewood, and felt that it was almost done, so he clapped his hands, washed his hands by the well outside the house, and prepared to take out the shrimp from the pot and start moving.
The river shrimp tastes very fresh, because there is no ginger and garlic cooking wine and other things that can go fishy, so there is still some fishy smell, but because it is a freshwater shrimp, it is okay, it does not affect eating too much, maybe this little girl has not eaten too much such delicate food on the tip of her tongue before, so the shrimp meat is put in her mouth, it is so beautiful that it is like eating a full banquet of the Manchu and Han Dynasty.
After a while, there was a small mountain of shrimp shells piled up next to Wusu, and the shrimp in the bowl were almost bottomed, although I still wanted to eat them, but because I knew that shrimp were cold things, I should not eat more, especially for people who did not seem to be very stable after her initial recovery from a serious illness, it was easy to affect the rise and operation of yang energy in the body, causing the body to be more defeated.
She is not ready to give the shrimp to the parents of the original body to eat, first, she is new to the city, others may be able to be careless and mess around, but for her relatives, she must not be careless, if she is not careful, it is easy to be treated as a demon and monster, especially in this kind of more feudal and superstitious place in the countryside, she does not dare to take this risk. It's too much to say and make mistakes, she tries her best to straighten things out, and she has a foundation in her heart to say that it's better to say anything else.
Listening to Aunt Hui's words, although this family is in the countryside, it is not a patriarchal family, I feel that the original family should be a relatively easy person to get along with, she always has to establish contact first, and then do her best according to the specific situation to slowly improve the situation of this family, at least, not to let them starve and freeze, but also to complete her own compensation and commitment to the original body to snatch the body.
When she was walking from the river to her house just now, she took a look at the surrounding vegetation, some of which could be eaten as food, and I am afraid that in this era, no one here has found these things to eat. Although there is basically no food at home, she is not too worried.
The only thing that worries is that if the original father and mother come back after a while and contact her, how can she try not to leave too many flaws, Wusu is a little big, and he simply doesn't think about it anymore, and the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth.
She cleaned up all the shells she had left in the kitchen, buried them in the vegetable patch not far from the house, and sat by the door waiting for them. It was already dark, and she was drowsy, just when it was dim, she saw a figure at the end of the path in the distance, all of them were still young after all, about thirty years old a couple, holding a thin little boy, the clothes were relatively old, and a little dirty, but their gait seemed quite calm, smiling at the child, the two talked and laughed, the child was also full of happiness, think about it, this is the father and brother that Aunt Hui said in her mouth, she suddenly cheered up, the family gave her a good feeling.
Perhaps, because it was too dark, the three people who came back didn't notice the small lump of Wusu sitting by the door at first, and when they got closer, the mother holding the child saw it, and hurriedly handed the child to her husband, took Wusu's hand a few steps forward and took Wusu's hand cordially, touched and touched each other, and asked worriedly, "Gui'er, why did you come out?" The wind here is so strong, and the night is very cold, your body is not good, how can you stand it? ”
Wu Su looked at the concern in her eyes, and suddenly turned red, "Mother, I'm fine, I feel a lot better today, so I want to wait for you to go home." ”
The young woman's name is Liu Chan, she was originally the daughter of a teacher, she grew up with her current husband Shen Zhizhi since she was a child, and she is a childhood sweetheart.
Because it was his own disaster that affected the Liu family, Shen Zhizhi usually felt a lot of guilt for his wife, and tried every means to make up for his wife and his wife's mother's family. Fortunately, his wife is gentle and virtuous, does not complain about him, and is willing to follow him to endure hardships, so although the life is hard, the relationship between the two husbands and wives and the children are also happy.
The most worrying thing for the husband and wife is that the eldest daughter Shen Guixin, the family is backward, the eldest daughter's body that originally relied on medicinal materials to recuperate suddenly failed, and in less than a few months, there was a feeling of being out of shape, Liu Chan was anxious, and her heart was tormented every day, but now there is no medicine to continue, and she cries secretly.
