While he was thinking, a "gurgling" sound came from Chu Baiyan's stomach, interrupting Song Erniu's thinking.

"What sound?" She couldn't help but look at it.

Chu Baiyan looked at Song Erniu's gaze and moved to Chu Mufeng in fear.

"Are you hungry?" Thinking of his attachment to meat just now, he suddenly understood something.

In her memory, her cheap son is five years old, and under the care of Song Laohan and his wife, his height and health are normal. But because of Song Erniu's incompetence and laziness in the past three months, she was hungry and full, and now she has lost a lot of weight. The limbs were as thin as firewood, the head looked extremely big, and the appearance of the yellow muscles made Song Erniu feel a sense of pity.

"Wait, I'll make you something to eat." After Song Erniu finished speaking, she ignored the reaction of the father and son, and left the work in her hand and went to the kitchen.

She first rummaged through the wooden cupboards with half of the doors broken, but they were empty except for a few tattered sea bowls, and the stove was nothing but a small bowl of lumpy salt.

There is some brown rice scattered at the bottom of the rice bowl at home, a shallow layer. Song Erniu bent down and pulled around the bottom of the tank with her hands, only making a small handful. She couldn't eat enough rice herself, and there were two people in the house......

Song Erniu scratched her head, not knowing what to do? Are you going to starve to death on your first day here?

Suddenly, she remembered something, walked briskly to the head of the bed, lifted the corner of the mat, and groped around on the bedboard.

"There it is!" Song Erniu retracted her hand and spread her hand out, in the palm of her hand, the old five-pennie coin was like the light of hope in the dark.

"You wait." Song Erniu said to her son in a harmonious voice, and then walked out of the house quickly.

She walked to a house in front of her who was good friends with Mrs. Song, and shouted inside through the fence: "Sister-in-law Fang, sister-in-law Fang!" ”

"Hey—it's coming, it's coming!"

A shrill voice responded, and then the curtain at the door moved, and Sister-in-law Fang walked out.

Seeing Song Erniu, she was a little surprised: "Is it Erniu?" What's wrong? ”

Song Erniu handed the money in her hand to Sister-in-law Fang: "Sister-in-law Fang, there are five cents here, I want to exchange some food with you to cook for the child to fill his stomach." ”

"Huh!?" Sister-in-law Fang was taken aback: "You want to cook for your baby?" ”

"Yes." Song Erniu knew that her behavior was very different from the original owner, but she couldn't help it, she couldn't bear to see the child's pitiful starvation.

Sister-in-law Fang looked at her in confusion, and finally said, "Cheng, what do you want?" ”

Song Erniu estimated the price according to the memory in her head, and said: "Four eggs, and all the rest will be replaced with multigrain noodles." ”

"Okay, you wait here." Sister-in-law Fang simply agreed, turned around and went into the house to rummage through the cupboard.

"When this meal arrives, why don't you cook and toss?" Sister-in-law's man, named Song Cheng, was cutting bamboo strips in the house, and when he saw her movements, he asked strangely.

Sister-in-law Fang took a cloth and filled five catties of coarse grain noodles, and after tying the knot, she took out four eggs, put them together in a small bamboo basket, and then carried the bamboo basket to her father-in-law and said: "The two girls of the Song family came to exchange the money for some food, saying that they would cook for her baby." ”

Song Cheng stopped what he was doing and glanced outside in disbelief, "The sun is coming out in the west?" She's never taken care of her son! ”

"Who knows, suddenly I changed sex, but that's not a bad thing." Sister-in-law Fang gathered the eggs and went out the door.

Song Cheng was very curious, thought about it, put down the work in his hand and followed her: "Wait, I'll go with you to see this girl." ”

The couple came to the fence together, and Sister-in-law Fang handed the basket in her hand to Song Erniu, who was waiting: "Do you see if these are enough?" ”

Song Erniu took it, counted the number of eggs, and picked up the package of multigrain noodles, a little surprised: "This noodle seems to be half a catty more?" ”

"It's nothing, it's all neighbors, there's nothing to worry about more or less, and this coarse grain noodle is not a precious fine noodle." Sister-in-law Fang saw Song Erniu's serious look, glanced at her own man, and saw the thoughts in their eyes.

"Thank you, sister-in-law! You're so nice! Song Erniu's heart warmed and said loudly.

She didn't expect to treat the infamous Song Erniu, and Sister-in-law Fang was willing to help her, not only agreed to change things, but also gave her an extra half catty of noodles, although this half catty of noodles is not much, but the affection in it is heavy!

Sister-in-law Fang praised her bluntly, and she was a little embarrassed: "This child, what is there to thank for?" ”

After a pause, she spoke again: "Seeing that you are willing to live a down-to-earth life now, I am happy in my heart, when your father and mother are here, you are the most relieved, you said that you were too confused and ridiculous before——"

Seeing Song Erniu's touched face, Sister-in-law Fang hurriedly changed her words: "However, it's not too late to correct it now, your father and mother will be happy to know it, don't be afraid, come to Sister-in-law Fang if you have anything, and your uncle and I will help you." ”

"Yes, there are many dry days this year, and I'm afraid that the days ahead will be difficult, you have to think of more ways to do it yourself, it's really not good, come and learn to weave bamboo baskets with your Uncle Cheng, it's a craft to make a living." Uncle Cheng also followed.

Song Erniu was amazed by the warmth and gentleness of Uncle Cheng and his wife, but on the other hand, she felt that the behavior of the original owner was not worthy of their kindness, so she snorted a few times and whispered: "It's too troublesome for you." ”

"No trouble! Don't see Sister-in-law Fang, you know no, in the past, your Uncle Cheng went up the mountain to meet a mountain tiger, and was bitten on the leg, and he was about to die, but your father heard the voice and rushed over, regardless of the danger and fought with the mountain tiger, so he drove it away and saved your Uncle Cheng! ”

Song Erniu didn't expect that there would be this past between Uncle Cheng and his father: "But, I don't remember——"

Uncle Cheng looked at Song Erniu and was very kind: "You were only four or five years old at that time, and you were only so young as a radish man, how could you remember?" ”

Sister-in-law Fang thought of what happened at that time, and looked at Song Erniu's eyes more and more peacefully: "No one has a high thigh, and when I saw that your Uncle Cheng injured his leg, I ran around looking for medicinal herbs, saying that I would treat your Uncle Cheng's injury." I know that the second girl's nature is not bad, but your father and mother drowned you in the past - alas, don't talk about this, you go back first, and this basket will be given to me again. ”

Sister-in-law Fang said, urging Song Erniu to go home.

Song Erniu heard what Sister-in-law Fang said about the past, and then she knew why in her memory, Sister-in-law Fang would be so indulgent to the original owner, even if the whole village disliked her, Sister-in-law Fang was willing to talk and chat with the original owner.

However, although the original owner is lazy and often steals chickens and dogs to take advantage of some small advantages, she has never provoked Sister-in-law Fang's family, and she may also know that Sister-in-law Fang is a good person to her.

Speaking of which, Uncle Cheng's life experience is so old, he has to remember what he said - Song Erniu memorized what Uncle Cheng said.

Returning home in a surge of thoughts, Song Erniu entered the door and shook the basket on her arm towards the father and son: "There is something to eat." ”
