Chapter 20: Confession
This is the spring of 1965, it is the green and yellow, the great famine is over, but it is still an era of no surplus grain, the crops in the field have only returned to green, and it is still early to harvest.
Xiao Man was born on the day of Xiao Man's solar term, her mother disliked it, who was confined, she didn't even have a full meal, blame her for coming at the wrong time,
At that time, there was already an elder sister above, and it was the age at which he could run and speak, so the third child was thrown aside, and later, a younger brother and sister were added, and they became a member of the people who hated dogs.
She looked at the sun, hurriedly sat down on the little bench, and began to chop chicken food, alas, the chickens were hungry, and she enjoyed the taste alone.
In the past three days, she has worked hard to adapt, only gruel every day, endless work, and endless scolding, but she doesn't care at all, since my sister is back, are the good days still far away?
After eating at night, it was the turn of the second room to clean up today, and her mother threw down the rice bowl and said to Xiaoman:
"Sanniu, you go and put the bowl, be careful not to knock it, if you hit the bowl again, don't eat in the future,"
"Mom, aren't you talking in vain? The three girls have beaten two bowls, "The eldest sister followed her mother's words and made up for it.
"You can do it, you go to wash, and when you get to work, you will be lazy," it was the eldest brother who spoke, the eldest brother in the previous life liked to scare the eldest sister for her, and the angry eldest sister hated her even more, and now they are here again, Xiaoman smiled and lowered his head to clean up,
"I don't still have to look at the little brother, you feel sorry for you," the eldest sister shook her hand and left, how could the eldest brother do this kind of chores, of course, he also followed,
The world is clean, Xiaoman's height is lower than the stove, so he has to step on the bench and work hard to smack the pot, the familiarity of the year has returned to his body, but he is doing some work, compared to his own life, it is really nothing, she is hungry and immersed in joy,
"Xiaoman, you're really slow, hurry up, let's go digging wild vegetables with Yingzi," it was the third uncle's cousin who came to call her, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, half a head taller than her, usually the same as Xiaoman, as long as it was her turn, she did the work in the stove room, two years older than Xiaoman,
"Sister Honghong, go ahead, I haven't finished cleaning up this cauldron yet,"
"Oh, I'll help you get it, your hands and feet are too slow," Honghong said and ran in, three times five divided by two, scooped out the dirty water in the cauldron, she worked fast, but the rice gaba was still on the edge of the pot, just wiped it with a rag,
Xiaoman didn't pay attention to it, ran to the firewood room with the basket, and ran with a smoke, although he didn't care, but this old hunger is not a thing, the wild is a good place, haha, I came to the green mountains and green waters,
"Hurry up, Lan Lan and Xiaohua will go first,"
Xiao Man looked at the sound, and there was a light in front of her, what a delicate little girl, she was the eldest Yingzi of the third uncle next door, and she was the girl in the village, but her mother wanted her son wholeheartedly, for fear of having another girl,
Xiaoman knew that the one in Aunt Santang's belly was a boy, and all this child brought to Yingzi was suffering.
At noon, the sun is just right, the children are out looking for wild vegetables, the wild vegetables in early spring are very tender, because the weather is cold only to the sunny place, so they all want to rush to occupy a place,
"Sister Yingzi, let's not go over there, I know that there is a place where there are a lot of gray cabbage and shepherd's cabbage,"
Back then, she unintentionally rolled down the hill and found this good place, at this time, no one should know,
"Where is it? Is there anything else we don't know? Honghong didn't believe it,
