Chapter 3: She Said Capable People (3)
When the meal was served, the capable man grabbed a vegetable dumpling and ate it, and his mother took out a palm-sized cake from the basket next to him and handed it to the capable man, "Eat this." ”
took the vegetable dumplings in the hands of the capable man and ate it himself, the capable man took a bite, and looked at his mother in surprise, "Mom, where did this come from?" ”
"What you picked up in the winter, you kept it."
My sister gave him a blank look, "Eat quickly, where do you have so many words." ”
Many times my sister is stricter than my mother, and I have never been afraid of my mother, but I am only afraid of my sister, my sister is 12 years older than him, she is shrewd and decisive, and she has no girlish spirit in the ordinary girl's family, and at the age of twelve or thirteen, she will replace her mother in charge of the family business, and her mother is sick, and she will gradually hand over the matter to her daughter when she sees that her daughter is doing things properly. In the first few years of liberation, the common people were allowed to do small business, and my father would prepare an eye medicine to treat the eyes, and every time the money he earned was handed over to his sister to manage, and the real head of the family was not his mother, but his sister. Although these two sisters are the same person, their temperaments are quite different.
The capable man handed the cake to his sister's mouth, "Sister, take a bite." ”
The elder sister looked at her younger brother and smiled, "Eat quickly, let people see it and bear the right and wrong." ”
Since she can eat less and less, her sister has rarely smiled, and she eats less and less at home, she always says that she has been looking for and eating outside, and she has eaten a lot, and capable people want to go with her, but she always refuses to. The capable man still smiled, "Sister, just take a bite." ”
My sister only left two shallow tooth marks on the cake. The cake was too small, and the stomach was still empty after eating, so he took another vegetable dumpling.
Suddenly, a woman rushed in and threw herself into the pig food bowl next to the pigsty, and the family hurried over to her and asked, "Where is the person?" ”
The woman didn't answer, but knelt there and hurriedly rubbed the bran from the pig food bowl on the edge of the basin and the bran that was only left at the bottom of the pot, and stuffed it into her mouth, stuffing it into two large mouthfuls.
When her mother saw that she seemed to be choking, she went into the house and brought a bowl of warm water, and handed it to her, "Drink it slowly." ”
The woman took two sips, smoothed herself, turned around and sat on the ground, and then replied, "Thanks to these two sips, I really don't have the strength to speak, and I have been out for 4 or 5 days, and I don't know where to follow." ”
As he spoke, he stared at the vegetable dumplings that he had just bitten in his hands, and the capable people stretched out his little hand to hand over the vegetable dumplings, and the woman grabbed it and rubbed it in her mouth with both hands, for fear that her mother and sister would regret it and go back. My sister glanced at the capable person and turned back to the house. When the mother saw that the woman had finished eating, she softly advised, "Let's go back, it's like this everywhere, go back and guard the adults and children with peace of mind." ”
The woman was at a loss "I can't go back, I can't remember the way,"
turned his eyes to lighten, "Where there is a harvest, there must be, what has been said in the newspaper and on the radio, it will definitely be found!" ”
The capable person went to the house for a spin and came back at some point, "Mom, the vegetable dumplings are all eaten, and there is no one." ”
The woman didn't know whether she had come to rest or wanted to find a harvest of food everywhere as soon as possible, so she got up and bowed to her mother, "Sister, you will have a good reward!" He looked at the capable man again, "Little brother, you will have a good reward."
The mother looked at the woman's back, "I'm afraid it won't last long!" ”
In the afternoon, Secretary Tianzi took a shovel and greeted people on the street, saying that another person had died in the ditch in the south of the village, and asked everyone to bury the person. My sister dragged the shovel out and came back in an hour.
The mother pressed and asked, "Is that the woman?" ”
My sister said no, it was a man, I don't know where, and the people who saw it said that they came from the south, and there was a small jujube tree by the ditch, and a few dates the size of a fingernail belly fell into a small puddle by the ditch. My sister took out a vegetable dumpling from the basket hanging from the beam, broke it in the middle, handed it to the capable person, took the other half and said, "Liangzi is hungry and speechless under the doorway,"
Just walked out, and someone chased after him and asked, "Sister, didn't you say you ate?" ”
My sister glared back at him, and the capable person was so frightened that she stopped her steps, closed her mouth, and didn't dare to ask or ask. My sister came to the bottom of the doorway, and Liang Zi's skin was wrapped in bones, and her belly was bulging, and she was lying there motionless. My sister squatted down and pushed Liang Zi "Liang Zi, Liang Zi"
Liang Zi opened his eyes and closed them again, and his sister helped Liang Zi up, "Liang Zi, Liang Zi, eat it," put the vegetable ball to Liang Zi's mouth, Liang Zi closed his eyes and took a bite, and ate it randomly. After eating the vegetable dumplings, Liangzi had some energy, and his sister was relieved when she saw that he could sit up, and told him, "Don't sleep, go out and find something to eat by yourself in a while." ”
Under the persecution of hunger, everyone is like a foraging mouse, alertly wandering among the fields and trees.
The Great Famine has finally passed, and although it is not enough to have food and clothing, it will not starve to death. Roughly counted, the reduction in personnel was not very large, thanks to the large depression to the west.
The surrounding villages are not easy to say, a village of nearly 300 people only has 180 people left, there are a few dead people, the real estate foundation saved before life is also ownerless and homeless, some big villages die almost every day, cry for a few days at the beginning of the period, out of the funeral, and then simply a door panel a leading seat, a burial, there is an ancestral grave buried in the ancestral grave, this is burned high incense, meet the death of the passerby who escaped from the famine, find a deeper pit on the spot, directly bury, next to a section of willow wood, is a mark, Wait for someone to look for and someone to ask, so you can tell people. After many years, when a ditch was dug up and human bones were dug up, the old people would say that they were buried here in a certain year, in what year, and in what year, and in what year.
