Chapter 6 Belongings
Jiang Nuan nodded, "The second daughter-in-law is not here, pay attention when you take care of the children, don't be hungry to the two girls, there is still some rice cereal at home, feed them every half an hour." ”
"Don't worry, mother, I won't starve them." Wang said, his eyes unconsciously skimmed to his bulging chest, although he was a little embarrassed, but full of confidence.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Nuan unconsciously looked at her eldest daughter-in-law.
After looking carefully, I found that although Wang was a little darker and thinner, his figure was very good, with a standard goose egg face, and his facial features were also very upright.
In particular, she still has that kind of gentle and watery temperament, which makes people feel good.
I thought about the other people in the family carefully, and suddenly realized that all of them had a good foundation, but they were hungry.
It seems that I don't look ugly, Jiang Nuan breathed a sigh of relief.
The Huang family does not have a bronze mirror but has water, it stands to reason that Jiang Nuan should have known her appearance a long time ago, in fact, she still doesn't know.
She's so scared!
She couldn't accept that she had gone from being a single beauty to a wrinkled, spotty-faced old woman.
Therefore, from the moment I saw my hands that looked like dead tree bark, I never had the courage to look at my own face.
Wang's face turned red when Jiang Nuan saw it, lowered his head, and asked weakly, "Mother, but where is the daughter-in-law dyed with ash?" ”
Although the Huang family is poor, there is a very particular old lady in the family, and everyone is cleaned up.
"No, I'm just in a daze, you're busy, I'll go to the kitchen to find something to eat."
"Mother, I'll serve breakfast, you go to the hall and sit down first, and it will be fine soon!" Wang said, glanced at Mrs. Gu, and walked quickly into the kitchen.
Jiang's stomach is not good, so she has to take care of it carefully, she is afraid that Jiang Nuan will be hungry.
So, Jiang Nuan, who didn't have time to stop him, beckoned a pair of Erkang hands and watched the Wang family disappear in front of him.
A cold wind blew, and the already untied bun danced in the wind, looking particularly bleak.
After a while, Jiang Nuan lowered his head and hung his shoulders, and walked back to the hall with a clatter.
Extremely frustrating!
Wang didn't let Jiang Nuan wait long, as soon as Jiang Nuan sat down, she came over with a warm meal.
A plate of pickles that have not changed for thousands of years, a bowl of thick gruel that has been cooked.
Looking at the golden millet in the bowl, Jiang Nuan immediately understood that the two concubines had opened a small stove for themselves again.
Flashing his eyes, Jiang Nuan said to the Wang family beside him, "Take another bowl, it's too much, I can't finish it." ”
"Daughter-in-law, let's go." Wang obediently went to the kitchen to get a clean bowl.
Jiang Nuan took it, poured out half of the millet porridge, and pushed it in front of Wang, "These are for you to drink." ”
"Mother," Wang looked at Jiang Nuan with emotion, and said softly, "My daughter-in-law has already had breakfast, and these are left for my mother to drink at noon." ”
"I don't like to eat leftovers, you can eat them if you eat them," after a pause, Jiang Nuan explained, "The eldest girl and the second girl are still young, and if you don't eat enough and have no milk, you will starve them." ”
Jiang had four sons, only Huang Xiaosi did not marry.
Huang is 21 years old this year, his wife Wang, two sons and one daughter, Da Niu is five years old, Er Niu is three years old, and Er Ya is less than one year old.
Huang Lao Er is seventeen years old this year, his wife Xie Shi, only one daughter, and the eldest girl is a little more than a year old.
Huang Laosan is 17 years old this year, his wife is Jin, and he has no heirs.
The Huang family has a total of thirteen people, which sounds like a lot, but it is not as good as those families in the village who have prosperous children.
"Mother, you are too good to your daughter-in-law." Wang said, tears rolling in his eyes again.
Make a big fuss, Jiang Nuan complained in her heart. Hurriedly sped up and drank porridge, wiped his mouth after eating, and slipped away.
Jiang Nuan felt that the Huang family was very enthusiastic, but she was a little overwhelmed by the enthusiasm.
The eldest daughter-in-law wiped her tears with emotion at every turn, and the second daughter-in-law looked like a smart person, and she was very clever in praising people, so that Jiang Nuan, who boasted of being three feet thick, couldn't resist it.
In desperation, I can only try to avoid it.
It's so difficult for me, Jiang Nuan sat on the stool, touched his flat belly, and sighed!
Regardless of yesterday's gnocchi or today's porridge, I can't eat enough after dividing half of it, and I lack oil and salt, and I did so much farm work last night, and Jiang Nuan's eyes are black when I am hungry.
"Forget it, go back to the room first."
She suddenly thought of one thing, she hadn't checked the Huang family's belongings for so long, and she didn't even know how many specific family backgrounds there were.
Hurried back to the room, impatiently looking through the corners and corners of the room.
Sure enough, on the wall next to the bed, a movable green brick was found, and when I opened it, there was a dusty cloth bag inside.
Surprised, he took out the cloth bag and poured all the contents on the bed.
didn't be happy for long, the light in Jiang Nuan's eyes retreated little by little, and in the end, he lay on the bed in frustration and pretended to be dead.
Two pieces of broken silver, two strings of good copper coins, and more than 300 scattered copper plates.
In total: five taels of silver and three hundred and seventy-five copper plates!
All the belongings add up to less than six taels.
Jiang Nuan had the impression that an acre of medium land cost ten taels of silver.
How poor!
Alas!
It seems that making money is imminent.
Fortunately, there is no debt, otherwise Jiang Nuan would really cry.
She took out the scattered copper plates, put the rest in the thatched hut of the space, and took more than three hundred copper plates to find the Wang family.
The Huang family ate so badly, and the house was so empty, she thought that she really had no money, and when she found the money, she wanted to improve her living standard and make up for the Huang family's deficit.
In the east chamber, Wang put the two girls side by side on the bed, and bowed his head to do embroidery.
Seeing Jiang Nuan coming, she hurriedly stood up, "Mother, why are you here, if there is something, call your daughter-in-law and pass." ”
"It's not a big deal, come and see my granddaughter." Coughing lightly, Jiang Nuan said unnaturally, "The girls are making trouble?" Did you feed them mushy food? ”
"They are very well-behaved, and they will sleep when they are full," Wang's eyes were particularly gentle when he looked at the two children, "The paste has been fed, and the daughter-in-law will not forget it." ”
Speaking of which, Wang's gratitude to Jiang Nuan became stronger and stronger, her mother-in-law was very good, she didn't dislike the girls and gave them the expensive paste to eat, and it was also a blessing for the girls to be reincarnated in such a family.
Wang knows that some families give birth to girls and throw them into the urine bucket and drown.
Looking at the two little ones with arms long, Jiang Nuan's eyes darkened, if she didn't know their ages, she would have thought that these two children were just a few months old.
Especially for the eldest girl, children who are more than a year old can't walk, which is likely to be caused by malnutrition.
"The eldest daughter-in-law," Jiang Nuan took out fifty copper plates, "buy an old hen and cut two catties of meat, and buy all the remaining copper plates to polish rice, and immediately spring ploughing, your body is very empty, you have to make up for it." ”
"Mother," Wang's hands holding the copper plate trembled a little, "Isn't this too much?" ”
