Those who dig in the field depend on the sky for food. In previous years, when the wind and rain were good, the harvest was good, and I could save a few dollars to buy some meat occasionally for tooth sacrifices. This year, when there is a drought and the harvest is greatly reduced, it is a great blessing to have wild vegetable porridge to fill the stomach without starvation.

Therefore, in the past month, few families in the village can still eat meat.

At this time, the rich aroma of meat is blown out with the night breeze and wafts to every house.

Young and old, smelling the smell of the meat, they swallowed their saliva one after another.

And Gu Jianghe's uncles and cousins were standing at the gate of the courtyard at this moment, their breaths full of the smell of meat.

Even if they are made fun of, they are cheeky and want to eat this meal.

Gu Jianghe said with an embarrassed face: "Uncle, second uncle, fourth uncle, those meats were brought by guests, not our family, so it's not good to leave you for dinner......

Cousin Gu Rufeng said: "Could it be that they cooked the meat and ate it themselves, and didn't they ask you to eat it together?" ”

Gu Jianghe was stunned for a moment, nodded honestly, and said, "That girl just now said that she was going to eat with a partner." ”

"That's it." Gu Rufeng said with a smile: "Let's not eat much, just one piece and taste the meat." Each of your family members will save by eating one less bite. Brother Jiang He, you see that we have been eating wild vegetables every day recently, there is no oil and water at all, our stomachs are very low, and our faces are sallow and sallow, if we don't take this opportunity to eat two pieces of meat, how can we survive this day? ”

Cousin Gu Qingshan also said: "That's it." We young people can barely bear it, my father and second uncle and fourth uncle are all old, just eating wild vegetables and not raising people, and their bodies are getting weaker and weaker, you listen, they don't speak as loud as before. Jianghe, don't patronize your family of four, you have to think about it for our family! Why don't you go to the guests and talk to them, let's not go in and eat, just take a bowl of broth and give it to us. ”

Gu Jianghe's mouth was full of bitterness, he raised his eyes to look at the three elders outside the courtyard, opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

The two brothers, Gu Mingyue and Gu Xingchen, stood next to him and eavesdropped, and then quietly ran to the kitchen and told Meng Shi about the outside matter.

While taking care of the wild vegetable porridge, Meng Shi lit a fire for Gan Lin, and when he heard what his sons said, he was so angry that he snorted hard.

"These old things, it's really shameless, leeches reincarnated, bloodsucking things! When they smell the meat, they want to eat it, they want to be beautiful! Meng scolded twice, and asked Gu Mingyue in a low voice, "It must be your uncle and uncle who stammered your grandfathers, right?" What did your dad say? Should he have gotten down? ”

Gu Mingyue also felt sorry for her father, and said: "It was the uncle and uncle who proposed to come to our house to eat meat, saying that several old people were weak and needed to make up for some oil and water." They also said that if they didn't go into the house to eat, they just packed a bowl of broth and took it out and gave it to them. My father didn't speak, it shouldn't be, it shouldn't be, and he was forced to blush by several grandfathers......"

"Whew! These stinky and shameless things still want a bowl of broth? They dream of it! Meng Shi gritted his teeth and said: "Go out and tell your father, just say that our family eats wild vegetable porridge, and there is no broth." ”

Gu Mingyue let out an "oh", and couldn't help but glance at the pot where the chicken soup was boiled before leaving.

Gan Lin smiled apologetically at Meng Shi and said, "Sister-in-law of the Gu family, are we causing trouble to your family?" Or just pack a bowl of broth and give it to them, anyway, I'll add a few extra scoops of water, and it's okay to fill a bowl of soup. ”
