Xiaoxiao grilled the remaining fish and cooked a large pot of fish soup.

was thinking about why her mother-in-law hadn't come back yet, and when she looked up, she saw Aunt Wang in the distance dragging a sack and walking back.

Xiaoxiao hurriedly walked over and took the sack.

"Mother, why did you dig so much again? We're sure we won't be able to eat it all at once. ”

"It's going to be cold in the future, and the wild vegetables will definitely be hard to find, so I'll dig more before others find out, otherwise we won't have anything to eat by then."

Aunt Wang helped Xiaoxiao pull the sack into the shed, and then rubbed her body with a towel.

"Our family has nothing left now, only two pennies left for the winter, and you know the vegetables we grow......"

Xiaoxiao listened to her mother-in-law's words, and suddenly remembered that although the original owner and her mother-in-law were poor, they were also diligent, and they reclaimed a small piece of land and planted some cabbage and radishes.

finally grew some seedlings, but they were destroyed by the original owner's father, and there was really no one left.

The original owner married in and was happy, but the happy event turned into a funeral that day, and only she and her mother-in-law were left in the family.

The two of them didn't dislike anyone, but they had a tacit understanding of each other.

It's just that I never thought that the original owner's father had no money for drinking again, so he hit her with the idea, and came here to make trouble several times, saying that her son was also dead, and she should go home.

The original owner naturally didn't want to go back, although he was a little bitter with his mother-in-law, but fortunately, his mother-in-law did not embarrass her, and most importantly, the original owner was afraid that once he followed his father back, he didn't know where he would be sold.

This time, the original owner was sick, and it was her father's hand. Taking advantage of the fact that her mother-in-law was not at home, she had to take her back, but the original owner resisted and was beaten severely.

After the original owner fainted, he was taken back by his father, and he didn't wake up for two days, and the original owner's father and mother were worried about an accident, and they didn't want to spend money, so they sent the original owner back, and their attitude was even more arrogant.

After scolding, he may be angry, and when he sees the vegetables planted, he destroys them before leaving.

The mother-in-law only looked at the original owner in distress and wiped her tears, asked for a doctor, and was busy taking care of the original owner.

When the mother-in-law recovered, she found that there was no way to remedy the vegetables in the vegetable field.

Xiaoxiao thought of this, only to find out that it was actually her mother-in-law who was involved.

If she hadn't had to stay here and not leave, I'm afraid that her mother-in-law would have been able to live well alone.

Now in order to treat her, the money is gone, the food has been sold, and the vegetables are gone.

"Hey, how can there be fish here?"

Xiaoxiao's distant thoughts were pulled back by Aunt Wang's amazement.

"This is what I salvaged when I was just carrying the water, mother, while it's hot, you hurry up and eat some."

"You're going to carry water? Isn't it for you to have a good rest at home? Your body is just right, what should you do if you're tired?! ”

Xiaoxiao......

Shouldn't the question now be eating fish? How did it run to her body again?!

"Xiaoxiao, my mother knows that you are sensible and wants to share some of it for my mother, but my mother only has you now, if you don't pay attention to your body, what do you say your mother should do?!"

Aunt Wang looked at Xiaoxiao's expression, and knew that Xiaoxiao didn't take it seriously, so she said seriously.

"Mother, I know, I'll have a good rest this afternoon, and I'm not going anywhere, okay."

Xiaoxiao pulled Aunt Wang's sleeve, a little coquettish.

Aunt Wang glanced at the pair of small hands on her arms, and the strangeness in her heart rose again,

"Xiaoxiao, why does my mother feel that you are different from before?"

Xiaoxiao's heart "chuckled", and secretly said that her mother-in-law's feeling was so powerful, but she didn't show it on her face.

"Mother, what's wrong with me?"

"What's different, my mother can't tell, I just feel that you're different."

"Probably because I walked through the ghost gate once, so I can see a lot."

Xiaoxiao's expression was a little lonely, Aunt Wang couldn't help but feel guilty when she saw this, she blamed her, which pot was not opened and which pot was mentioned, no, it poked Xiaoxiao's sadness again.

"Xiaoxiao, you also made grilled fish?"

Aunt Wang hurriedly diverted the topic, for fear that Xiaoxiao would continue to be uncomfortable.

"Well, I have a lot of fish, and I want to make a different way to eat it."

Xiaoxiao silently said sorry to her mother-in-law in her heart, she couldn't tell her mother-in-law that her daughter-in-law was dead, and now what was standing in front of her was just a shell, and her soul had already been replaced by someone else, right?!

She didn't want to be treated like a monster, and she didn't want her mother-in-law to be sad, so she had to use it this way.

After eating and drinking, Xiaoxiao really lay there to rest, while Aunt Wang was busy washing vegetables.

Although the weather is cold now, it still can't be left for too long, so it is better to wash and cook it and dry it, so it will take a long time.

This is the dish they want to eat this winter, this year is different from previous years, there is nothing at home, so these are also the things that their mother and mother continue to live, I just hope that this winter will not be too difficult.

The afterglow of the setting sun gradually covered the earth, Xiaoxiao was just lying down, but she didn't expect to fall asleep. When I woke up, I realized that it was getting dark.

got up and saw my mother-in-law who was still busy, and hurriedly walked over.

"Mother, I'll come, you can rest for a while."

Xiaoxiao looked at her mother-in-law, whose hands were red from cold, and reached into the basin with her hand, and as soon as she touched the water, she was cold.

"It's okay, that's all there is left, I'll just wash it."

Aunt Wang naturally also noticed Xiaoxiao's movements, she has been washing vegetables with cold water, and now she can't feel cold.

"You lie down for a while, and I'll make you cabbage soup when I'm done."

Xiaoxiao turned around and walked to the campfire next to her, took some small dry firewood, lit the fire, and boiled hot water.

After some heat came out of the pot, Xiaoxiao poured hot water into the basin for washing vegetables.

"Mother, it's so cold this day, and I wash the vegetables with cold water, what should I do if my hands are frozen?!"

"You kid......"

Aunt Wang wanted to say that it was not in the way, but she was used to it, but after seeing Xiaoxiao's eyes, she had to change her mouth.

Xiaoxiao made the cabbage soup, Aunt Wang's cabbage was all washed, and the two of them were happily eating with a bowl.

Suddenly, a small white thing jumped into the shed, and jumped directly into Xiaoxiao's arms, causing Xiaoxiao to almost throw the bowl in her hand.

"Xiaoxiao ......"

Aunt Wang cried out a little worriedly, it was really this little thing running too fast, just in the blink of an eye, she ran to Xiaoxiao.

Xiaoxiao saw the little thing in her arms clearly, and hurriedly comforted,

"It's okay, mother, it's a cat."

The little thing rolled its eyes after hearing this, you are the cat, your whole family is a cat!!
