Chapter 129: Reduced rations
Or Mrs. Zhang asked: "Didn't you go out to find out about the Li family's land to pay off the debt, what's wrong?" ”
Wang Laozhu waved his hand: "I told the patriarch, and the patriarch also thinks it's okay to save the basket in the middle, but with the consent of the Li family, the Li family is in a mess, I heard that his daughter ran away overnight, Li Dagui and Li Jinlong are lying on the bed, and Li Dagui's mother-in-law is left alone, crying and scolding in the yard." I see that she even brought the patriarch of the Li family with her, offending people like this, I'm afraid that if we don't take action, this matter will be six or seven points accurate. ”
Mrs. Zhang relieved half of her heart, discussed with Wang Laozhu again, and went to the town early tomorrow morning to see Wang Yongfu's affairs.
Wang Laozhu originally planned to go too, but was persuaded by Mrs. Zhang to come back, and asked him to keep an eye on the Li family at home, only saying that he would take his daughter to have a look, and then come back after the medicine money was settled.
Wang Laozhu didn't doubt anything else, and nodded in agreement.
When it was time for dinner, Mrs. Zhang said that she would go to the town with her old girl tomorrow, and the others would not stop, and the golden pot was the first to jump out: "I will also go to the town." ”
It's only been a day since he came back, and the golden pot instinctively feels that this family is different from before, and as for how it is different, he can't say.
He also cautiously remembered that his two brothers had forgotten about eating meat at noon, and after thinking about it, he decided to go to the town to find his mother.
The Lin family has always protected the child, and at this time, the golden pot feels that only when he sees his mother can he feel at ease.
Mrs. Zhang's eye knife flew over: "When adults speak, what do children say?" I went to town with your aunt to have something to do, you are a child, not at home to help work, but bent on going out to wave? Don't look at what time it is! Don't fight pigweed? Don't let people put the cow away? Don't you sweep the ground in the yard? One by one, I raised you to be hollow-eyed, but I don't think you are the eldest young master and don't give me an honest job at home, if anyone is cheating and cheating, don't think about eating! ”
As soon as the killer weapon was not allowed to eat, no one dared to speak, and after the golden pot was pulled down by the golden bucket, he didn't dare to speak again.
Mrs. Zhang said to the Jiang family: "A few days ago, the family had good food and drink, but it raised people's hearts, and now the situation at home, you all know, the boss is still behind when he uses money, and the family has a thin foundation, so he can't afford to spend so much." When you are not busy in the future, you can only boil two pots of porridge in the morning and evening, and you can get it if you don't get hungry, where is there steamed rice to eat all day long? Since tomorrow, they have been drinking porridge! ”
Jiang's body stiffened, and he agreed in a low voice.
When the rest of the people heard this, especially the children, they all looked bitter.
Only drink porridge, a few bubbles of urine, the stomach will be empty, where is the steamed bun to fight hunger?
But no one dared to speak, only looked at Wang Laozhu.
Wang Laozhu nodded, as soon as the eldest fell, the crisis in the family was revealed, the second child was unreliable, the third child was not expected, and the fourth child was one, and it was difficult to support it alone.
You have to live a careful life!
Eat thin when you are free, and eat dry when you are busy.
Isn't this how everyone lives in the village, and it's just that their own family has had a good life over the years, so that everyone can fill their stomachs.
Now that something has happened at home, naturally we can't be as lavish as in the past.
Therefore, he nodded and agreed with Mrs. Zhang's statement.
Jin Dou and Jin Keg didn't dare to speak, and they covered Jin Ju's mouth stiffly, afraid that he would talk nonsense.
Regarding Mrs. Zhang's decision, Wang Yongzhu didn't say much in front of everyone, she just wanted to persuade her on the road tomorrow, after all, the old and the young in the family, and adults can't go hungry, and the family is not so difficult.
I came here to farm and get rich, so I can't do this task and make a good family who can eat enough to be full, right?
Because they had to cut back on food, everyone's mood was not high, so they silently finished their meals and went back to the house.
I don't know how many people couldn't sleep one night.
Wang Yongzhu couldn't sleep well because he had something in his heart, and he heard movement in Mrs. Zhang's house in a daze, so he hurriedly turned over and got up and washed up.
I checked the back basket with yellow pine mushrooms in the corner of the wall, and saw that the yellow pine mushrooms inside were still watery, so I was relieved.
Carrying the basket on her back, Mrs. Zhang was already waiting outside.
Seeing the old girl go out, she waved at her with a bowl at the door of the stove house.
Walking over, it was a big bowl of brown sugar water lying eggs, a full bowl, and there were four eggs.
Seeing Wang Yongzhu walking over, he hurriedly handed her the bowl and chopsticks: "Eat quickly!" Mother gets up early in the morning and makes it for you! Only after eating can you have the strength to hurry. ”
Wang Yongzhu took the bowl, only feeling that this bowl weighed a thousand gold: "Mother, then what do you eat?" ”
Mrs. Zhang waved her hand and took out the two cold buns that she had specially left last night: "I'll just eat this." ”
Where is Wang Yongzhu willing to do it, he and Mrs. Zhang shared a bowl of eggs, and another person shared a cold bun, and ate it with hot brown sugar water, with food in his stomach, his whole body was warm, and he also had strength and spirit.
Jiang said last night that Mrs. Zhang said that she would reduce her food, and when she looked at the thin appearance of her children, she was so worried that she didn't sleep well in the middle of the night, and finally squinted, and when she woke up, the sky was already dark.
There was also the sound of mother-in-law and sister-in-law talking outside, and they suddenly screamed badly, and hurriedly dressed and walked out.
When she rushed out, she heard the courtyard door creak shut, and her mother-in-law and sister-in-law had already gone out.
When I rushed to the stove house, there was still the sweet smell of eggs and brown sugar water in it, and there was half a pot of sorghum ballast on the stove, which was the family's ration for the day.
Jiang sighed, put the sorghum ballast in the cupboard, and began to boil water to make breakfast.
She was only busy working in the stove house, and she didn't notice that the door of the big room opened quietly, and a small black shadow slipped out of it, stuck to the root of the wall, and went to the door, carefully opened the courtyard door, and ran out......
Because it wasn't a market day, most people wouldn't go to town, so I didn't meet anyone along the way.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one before and after, Wang Yongzhu opened his mouth to persuade: "Mother, why do you want to reduce everyone's rations, don't talk about others, you and your father are so old, why can you just eat some porridge?" The body bones can't stand it, huh? When I sell this mushroom, I will be rich, and my money will not be my father's money? There is no reason to starve with silver in your hand, right? There are also Jin Dou at home, they are all growing their bodies, how can they grow if they can't eat enough? ”
After thinking about it, I was afraid that these things would not add up to my own weight in Mrs. Zhang's heart, and added: "What's more, I can't bear it even if I eat two porridges a day?" ”
Mrs. Zhang smiled at her: "Silly girl, my mother is hungry herself, and she can't starve you!" None of this has anything to do with you, anyway, my mother won't let you go hungry! ”
Wang Yongzhu shouted to his mother in his heart: "Mother, our family is not difficult to that point, why bother?" ”
Mrs. Zhang sneered: "Don't care, my mother naturally has a reason to do this, and if you look at it, in a few days, you will naturally have a good show." ”
It seems that this is a self-determined calculation in the heart, and it is deliberately done.
