In Niu Erni's memory, Niu Erni has been commanded to work since she can remember, and in the past few years, the cooking and laundry that has been exercised has done a good job with her younger brother.

When her parents went out to do farm work, when Niu Erni and Niu Dani were at home, Niu Erni was basically doing all the work at home.

Otherwise, Niu Dani would not have become the person in this family who most hopes that Niu Erni will wake up after Niu Erni falls into a coma.

As a girl, Niu Dani's status at home is not high, but the treatment is much better than Niu Erni, at least people can eat and dress warmly, and as long as Niu Erni is there, Niu Dani doesn't have to do much work.

Parents are like servants to Niu Erni, up and down, none of the children in this family can afford Niu Erni.

In addition to the eldest brother who is unwilling to talk to her more, even the 4-year-old brother Niu Erbao, whom she usually takes care of, usually dares to bully Niu Erni, and often beats and scolds her.

Li Yao shook her head, she really didn't want to think about these bad things.

She remembers that the food at home has always been in the kitchen, and now it is important to fill her stomach.

Li Yao got up from the bed, put on her worn-out shoes, opened the door lightly, and walked out.

Niu Dani, who was sleeping on the side, turned over when she heard the movement, and fell asleep again in a daze.

Li Yao walked out of the room and went straight to the kitchen.

The food in the kitchen is the same as Li Yao's memory, there are really a lot of grains, bud rice, sorghum rice and wheat grains, there are several sacks, and some are ground into flour and packed in the noodle jar.

However, these things can't be eaten directly, Li Yao's stomach now needs to replenish some food, and she is estimated to be hungry and faint if she waits.

Li Yao lifted the lid of the big iron pot on the stove, and was a little pleased to find that there were still six palm-sized cornmeal tortillas left in the pot, and she didn't care if it was cold, so she found a pair of clean chopsticks on the stove and picked them up to eat.

The corn tortillas overnight were cold and hard, but Li Yao, who was extremely hungry, didn't feel that the corn tortillas were unpalatable at all, and she didn't feel a little full until the three corn tortillas were down.

Thinking that he had been hungry for two days and couldn't eat too much at once, Li Yao closed the lid of the pot again.

At this moment, the kitchen door was opened from the outside.

"Oops!" Niu Cuihua came in from outside, and at first glance she saw a figure in the dark kitchen, and she couldn't help but scream in fright.

After seeing that it was Niu Erni, Niu Cuihua patted her chest, and then said angrily: "You dead girl, what are you doing hiding in the kitchen, why don't you know that the door is open?" ”

After speaking, Niu Cuihua stepped forward to pull Li Yao's ears.

Li Yao tilted her head, and dodged Niu Cuihua's attack, she relied on the small person and got out from under Niu Cuihua's waist, and then waited until she was far away from Niu Cuihua, before she wiped her mouth and said: "Mother, I haven't eaten for two days, I'm dying of hunger, come and find something to eat." ”

Niu Cuihua was originally surprised when Erni learned to dodge and fight, but when she heard Erni say to eat, she couldn't care so much, so she subconsciously opened the lid of the pot.

Seeing that there were only three of the six corn tortillas that were originally left for breakfast for the family yesterday, Niu Cuihua's face darkened.

Although these two years were both bumper harvest years and there was more grain at home, the peasants have always watched the sky for food, and perhaps next year will be a disaster year.

Niu Cuihua used to be hungry and afraid, but now she is in charge of the food in their second room, and she doesn't dare to let her family eat and drink with an open stomach.
