Chapter 3: Grandma is coming
"Yueyue, wake up!" Chu Xiumei stood beside the bed and looked at her with some concern.
Looking at Chu Xiumei's eyes, Ran Wenyue asked suspiciously, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" Why are you looking at me like that? ”
"Sister, you were talking in your dreams just now! Mother can't wake you up. Ran Wenbo, who was sleeping on the side, looked at Ran Wenyue with a pair of big eyes and explained.
Chu Xiumei looked at her sober daughter in front of her and breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's going to be dawn, get up and help my mother cook." ”
"Hmm."
Ran Wenyue got dressed in a few clicks, and then followed Chu Xiumei out of the room, and Ran Wenbo in the room looked at Ran Wenxing, who was still sleeping, and fell asleep again.
……
In the early morning, the village is full of faint lights, the orange light flickering, the sky above the mountain village can not distinguish whether it is cooking smoke or mist, rising in the air, occasionally see the shadow of the shadow of the person who gets up early, the hillside behind the house is gradually shrouded in a layer of mist, the sun has not yet risen, from time to time there is a rooster crowing or two, breaking the tranquility of the mountain village.
There seemed to be someone knocking on the door outside, Ran Wenyue looked up and listened to it again, and the sound of knocking on the door just now sounded again, "Mother, someone is knocking on the door, I'll take a look." ”
"Go ahead and see who's doing what." Chu Xiumei replied.
Opening the door, a woman in her fifties carrying a basket stood outside the door, and when she saw Ran Wenyue who opened the door, she smiled lovingly. "Yueyue, grandma came to see you, here is the pheasant that your uncle hunted, and sent some to you."
Ran Wenyue hurriedly took the basket and helped her grandmother into the house, her heart was moved, "Grandma, come into the house and warm up, how are you doing?" It's not cold, why did you come here so early, you just let Cousin Xiaoyu come for this kind of thing, what if you fall in the cold, uncle, they are really relieved to let you go out alone.
Also, you can come, what are you doing with these gifts, isn't it good to keep them for yourself in this great famine year? It's not that you don't know such good things, and in the end, it's not like you don't have our share, why do you want to send them over for waste......"
As she spoke, a few people entered the stove house, and Chu Xiumei, who was adding red roots to the pot, saw the old woman's eyes filled with mist in an instant, and there were too many words in her heart, but they turned into a sentence at the end, "Mother, are you okay now?" ”
Looking at her daughter, who had lost a lot of weight after not seeing her for a long time, her grandmother's eyes were full of distress. "Mother came to see you and brought you some food."
Ran Wenyue put the vegetable basket in her hand on the board, sorting out the things inside, there were not many things, just half a basket of wild vegetables and Liukuai chicken, but just these things were enough for their family to eat for a few days in this well-watered and full year, Chu Xiumei looked at the things on the board and said in surprise, "Mother, there is nothing to eat now, why did you send so many things over, and chicken!" Sister-in-law, she ......"
Grandma looked at Chu Xiumei's expression, knew what her daughter was worried about, and explained, "Don't worry, your sister-in-law is a knife-mouthed tofu heart, she heard that Da Lang went to join the army, you are not having a good time now, let me send some food." The family is busy, and my wife still has a free one, and it will be the end of the year in a few months, so I have to save some food, otherwise I won't have anything to eat when I turn over the year. ”
Ran Wenyue listened quietly on the side, but silently remembered what her grandmother said, turned around and went out.
Chu Xiumei took a piece of chicken out, which was the size of a little baby's fist, and now that people can't eat enough, the chickens in the mountains are even thinner. After the chicken was processed, it was chopped into meat puree and thrown into the pot, and suddenly a smell of meat came out, looking at the little fishy meat floating in the pot, Chu Xiumei couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and her stomach grunted.
"It smells so good! It smells so good! Mother, what delicious did you cook! As soon as the two small buns held in Ran Wenyue's hands entered the room, they asked about the fragrance and shouted excitedly!
"Wenbo, Wenxing, grandma's good grandson, come and let grandma hug her." Grandma smiled happily as she looked at the twins who came in. After speaking, he took out two rattles from his arms. "Look what this is? Do you like the rattle that your second uncle made for you? ”
"I like it, grandma, I miss you so much!"
"Grandma, I miss you so much."
The two children looked at the old man standing in the house and ran up excitedly to hug her legs.
"Come and let grandma see, I haven't seen my good grandson grow taller for more than half a year." The grandmother squatted down, looked at the two children in her arms, and touched their hands, feeling uncomfortable, the two children were skinny and skinny, and their faces were going to be thin.
While he was talking, a discordant voice came from outside the stove house, "Yo, what is my sister-in-law cooking today, it's so fragrant, why don't you tell everyone to get up to eat, isn't it stealing good things behind everyone's back!" ”
As soon as she roared in her voice, the few people who had been woken up by hunger couldn't fall asleep, so they got up and came out directly, and the sky was lit up at this time.
