Chapter 2: Hunger

Mu Li doesn't like children, a group of spoiled little princesses and little emperors, impolite and very willful, the eldest and his second child, are annoyed to death.

But the children of this era are different, sensible and obedient, especially in the countryside, the children of poor families are in charge of the house early, and this sentence is not in vain.

Even if Mu Li doesn't like children very much, she also likes Mu Feng's eldest brother.

Mu Li had no relatives in her previous life, but this life is different, her current family plus the pair of cheap fathers and mothers, there are a total of six, she ranks second, and there is an elder brother above, and below are these two younger brothers.

Three boys and one woman, such a family is powerful in the village, so that those women who want to give birth to a boy but can't give birth are extremely envious, but unfortunately, the Mu family is too poor, the boy's appetite is big, in the case of the Mu family, it is difficult to say whether it can be fed.

"Sister, Sister, I'm going to go with you too......"

Mu Xiaozhi, the five-year-old little brother, also ran over and shouted to follow, he didn't want to stay at home alone.

Although he is five years old, he is almost a modern three-year-old child, of course, skinny, and certainly not as white and fat as a modern child.

"Well, let's go together."

Mu Li nodded, the field is not very far, and there is generally no danger in a small village like this, but Mu Li, who was used to being vigilant in her previous life, still doesn't worry about such a young child staying at home alone.

I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if, if there's really something, I can't even find someone to help.

Come to the kitchen.

Seriously, the so-called kitchen of her house is really simple, with two large stoves cut from yellow mud and two large iron pots on the stove, the one on the left is for boiling water, and the right is for stir-frying and cooking.

Lifting the lid of the pot outside, a mist with the aroma of rice wafted out, and the two younger brothers couldn't stop inhaling, wanting to suck a little more to see if they could fill their stomachs.

Mu Li looked at them and knew that these two younger brothers were very hungry, not to mention them, she was also hungry, although they had already used lunch, but the so-called lunch was actually a bowl of porridge per person, the kind of clear water porridge that could be used as a mirror, and the rice grains could be counted.

Mu Li can't eat enough porridge like this, and the same goes for his two younger brothers who are still growing up.

But what can be done?

For a family of six, the porridge cooked in one meal is only half a bowl of rice, and the three of them, who do not do farm work, each have a bowl, and the father and mother who work in the fields and her eldest brother are only one and a half bowls per person.

Today's lunch was cooked by Mu Li learning from Mu Feng, not that she didn't want to cook more, but that there was almost no rice at home.

This family is so poor.

Looking at the two little guys who couldn't stop snorting and praying to fill their stomachs from the smell, Mu Li didn't say anything on his face, but he saw in his eyes, how to improve the conditions at home, this is a top priority.

Although she was not pampered in her previous life, she had never done farm work, but she was good at other things, and she should think about how to make this family better.

Multiplied all the porridge in the cauldron into the clay pot, and originally wanted to keep some for Mu Xiaozhi to eat, but after thinking about it, it still didn't.

The big brother and the father are even hungrier when they work in the fields, and they are still waiting for these porridges.

Put the clay pot containing porridge into the basket, and Mu Li took her two younger brothers to the field together.

Along the way, I also met many people who also went to the fields to deliver lunch, most of them were little girls about ten years old like her, and there were also some peasant women.
