Chapter 3 Wild Vegetable Soup
Cheng Xiaoxiao glanced at her mother-in-law and thought of the fire in the house,
"Mother, could it be that the fire in this house was deliberately set by you, right?!"
Aunt Wang did not immediately answer Cheng Xiaoxiao's words, but reached out and touched Xiaoxiao's forehead, which was a little cold, but it was definitely not cold after death.
"Mother, don't scare me, what's wrong with you, why are you crying?"
Xiaoxiao looked at her mother-in-law who was in tears just by touching her forehead, and suddenly panicked, she was most afraid that others would cry, because she didn't know how to comfort her.
"Xiaoxiao, you, you're not dead?"
Aunt Wang was a little incoherent, but the excitement on her face was obvious.
"Well, mother, I'm blessed with a great life, isn't this a good stand in front of you?"
"It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive."
After Aunt Wang finished speaking, she knelt directly on the snow, and even folded her hands.
"Thank God, let us both stay alive ......"
"Mother, what are you doing, it's so cold on the ground, hurry up."
Cheng Xiaoxiao was really taken aback, and after reacting, she immediately went to pull Aunt Wang's hand.
Aunt Wang kowtowed a few times before she got up with Xiaoxiao's support,
"Xiaoxiao, it turns out that you are not dead, my mother still thinks it, I still think it is ......"
"Mother, do you think that I woke up at that time to return to the light, and then had the idea of leaving with me?!"
Cheng Xiaoxiao heard her mother-in-law's words, and thought of what her mother-in-law said before she fainted, and directly matched the information in her mind.
When she saw the guilt and embarrassment on her mother-in-law's face, Xiaoxiao understood that the fire in this house was really set by her mother-in-law, but her mother-in-law thought she was dead at that time, so she didn't want to live anymore.
"Mother, how can you do such a stupid thing."
Xiaoxiao is a little warm-hearted, and a little distressed,
"Everyone says that it's better to die than to live, so, mother, don't think about it in the future, even if I encounter an accident one day, you can't ......"
"Bah, Xiaoxiao, you are not allowed to say such things again."
After Aunt Wang finished speaking, she looked at the heavens and prayed with both hands,
"God, what a child says, it can't be true, it can't be true."
Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes speechlessly, turned around and went to scoop water in the water tank, the fire was not big, but she used white wine in a hurry, and now she can only try to extinguish it with water.
Aunt Wang looked at the busy Xiaoxiao, thanked God again, and went to help put out the fire.
Fortunately, this weather is full of snow, and many things are humid and not easy to burn, otherwise, they would really be unable to escape this time.
After pouring more than a dozen buckets of water in a row, the fire gradually became smaller, Xiaoxiao stood there panting and rested for a while, this kind of thing is really not a human job.
When the fire was all extinguished, the two hurried back to the house, rummaging through the things that were still usable.
"Mother, let's move these things to the shed first, and we'll sleep in the shed tonight, this house is no longer safe."
"This house is only half destroyed, and we can still do it tonight, or we will spend the night first, and when the snow stops tomorrow, I will ask the villagers to help us repair it."
Aunt Wang looked at the weather that was still snowflakes and hesitated,
"Your body is just right, and the shed is ventilated on all sides, and you will get sick if you live in the shed."
"No, this house is no longer safe, if we fall asleep, the house continues to collapse, and we don't even have a chance to escape."
Xiaoxiao decisively refused, compared to living in the house, her life would be in danger at any time, so she would rather live in the shed and get sick.
Aunt Wang also felt that this was the reason when she heard this, and hurriedly picked up the only pair of quilts and walked to the shed.
It's cold in the shed, it's a big deal, she won't sleep tonight, just set up a fire to keep Xiaoxiao from freezing, if you don't live in this house, you won't be able to sleep steadily.
After moving the things that could still be used to the shed, Xiaoxiao began to clean up, the shed was ventilated on all sides, and if she really stayed here for one night, she would definitely get sick.
So, now she has to minimize the damage.
Aunt Wang looked at the busy Xiaoxiao, and was not idle, she lit the fire, scooped some clean snow and put it in the pot where she was cooking, and when Xiaoxiao was busy, she could also use hot water.
Xiaoxiao took out a broken bench from the house, removed the burnt door panel, and placed it on the north side of the shed, which was considered to withstand some north winds.
As for the straw mat on the bed, Xiaoxiao no longer laid it on the ground, but found some nails and nailed it to the pillar.
After Xiaoxiao was busy, she looked at the two sides that had been blocked from the wind, but there were still two sides, but she was a little worried, and it seemed that there seemed to be nothing to use at home.
went to the main house and turned around again, and when she saw the dilapidated table and bed, Xiaoxiao had an idea in her heart.
"Mother, come over and help me first."
Xiaoxiao tried to lift the bed, but she didn't move, so she had to call Aunt Wang.
"Okay, I'll come right over."
Aunt Wang added some dry wood to the fire and walked into the house.
"Xiaoxiao, what are you?"
"Mother, let's move the bed out to block some wind. That way, it won't be so sad tonight. ”
After the two of them put the bed away, the shed instantly warmed up a lot, and Xiaoxiao nodded with satisfaction.
It's just that when Xiaoxiao saw the things cooked in the pot, she was a little uncalm,
"Mother, what is this?"
"This is some wild vegetables that I dug yesterday, because the snow is heavy, so I only dug a little bit, tonight we will make do with a meal, and tomorrow when the weather is fine, I will dig some more. As you know, winter is coming soon, and wild vegetables are a little hard to find. ”
"Forehead ......"
Xiaoxiao really wanted to ask if she could eat it? But when she saw Aunt Wang throw a small piece of salt into the pot, she immediately stopped.
"Xiaoxiao, I boiled some hot water just now, you wash your hands first, and we can eat right away."
As soon as Xiaoxiao washed her hands, Aunt Wang brought a bowl over,
"Here, hurry up and eat it while it's hot."
"Thank you, mother."
"You kid, you're still polite to me, you hurry up and eat, so you can warm up."
After Aunt Wang finished speaking, she went to fill the second bowl, sat down by the fire and ate it.
Xiaoxiao looked at the wild vegetable soup in the bowl, and was a little at a loss, is this tonight's dinner?
"What's wrong, Xiaoxiao? Don't you think it's delicious? ”
"No, mother."
Xiaoxiao shook her head, and when she saw that there were only a few scattered vegetable leaves in her mother-in-law's bowl, she suddenly felt a little sad in her heart.
She has been slandering whether her stomach is eaten by people, and she doesn't dare to put her mouth down, but just these few vegetable leaves are also good for the current family.
The mother-in-law was afraid that she would not have enough to eat, so she put all the vegetable leaves in her bowl, but she still disliked it.
Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, picked up the vegetable leaves and stuffed them into her mouth, it was very bitter and astringent, but it was so beautiful.
After drinking a large bowl of vegetable soup, Xiaoxiao secretly decided that she must work hard to make her life prosperous.
