Chapter 2: Scrambled duck eggs with shepherd's cabbage
It stands to reason that for a dowry of five taels of silver, the girls in Qingshui Township should rush to marry. But when he heard that he was going to marry a blind man, no one was willing to push his daughter into the fire pit.
Yao Muping has always been greedy for money and likes to secretly buy rouge gouache and good clothes for herself, whoever eats more of her food is like killing her, and Yao's doing such a thing is also expected.
Lin Xiaomiao pinched the burning stick in her hand and sighed, marrying the Zhang family as a daughter-in-law may be able to live a little better, but she still has two younger brothers.
Yao Muping had found someone in private, maybe she would be sold as soon as she left her two younger brothers! The original Yun Tao didn't dare to tell her brother about these things, Yun Tian had tuberculosis and had to drink medicine every day to make up for it, so he was complained and blamed by Yao Muping because of the cost of taking medicine.
Tuberculosis can't be tired, and can't be angry, if Yuntian goes, this family will be completely scattered.
Yun Tao didn't mention Yao Muping's harsh treatment, Yun Tian thought that Yao was just a bad mouth, and he had always been relieved to let her take care of these children.
Lin Xiaomiao sat by the well, she was just a little chef who planted flowers and plants in her spare time, why did she leave such a difficult problem to solve?
If you don't tear Yao's face, you can't swallow this breath, and the two younger brothers will be poisoned by her sooner or later. But Yuntian's illness couldn't be stimulated......
Lin Xiaomiao raised her eyes blankly and stared at the field in the distance, she had lived for more than 20 years in her previous life and had never been in love, she really couldn't imagine what it would be like to spend the second half of her life with a blind man!
This thought didn't haunt Lin Xiaomiao for too long, and the dog and Mi'er, who went to the kitchen to find leftovers, came over with a sad face.
Mi'er held her mouth and looked like she was about to cry, and the dog's face was also ugly, "Sister, there's nothing in the kitchen." ”
There are no such words, and the dog egg bites very hard.
The kitchen was cleaned up by Yao's family, and even half of the rice that fell on the ground could not be found.
"Sister, my stomach hurts so much, I'm already hungry!" Mi'er lifted off her patched gown, revealing a sunken belly, and several bones on the belly were clearly visible.
The tears in his eyes rolled down, and he squatted down and grabbed the mud on the ground and was about to send it to his mouth.
Lin Xiaomiao was startled, and hurriedly grabbed Mi'er's wrist, "Listen to Sister A's words, the soil can't be eaten!" ”
During the famine, few people who ate Guanyin soil survived!
"Sister, but I'm hungry ......" Mi'er wiped her tears with her little muddy hands aggrievedly.
Lin Xiaomiao held the burning stick to prop herself up, she looked around in the field in front of the grass house, and a glimmer of light was added to her gray eyes, "Sister has found something to eat!" Come with my sister. ”
The eyes of the dog and the child were shining, like two obedient puppies following behind Lin Xiaomiao.
Looking at Lin Xiaomiao's difficult back, the dog said distressedly: "Sister, did she beat you again?" Let me carry you! ”
Lin Xiaomiao was stunned for a moment, and looked at her younger brother who was half a head shorter than herself, "Can you carry me?" ”
"Sister doesn't need you to carry it, where do you have the strength to eat if you can't eat?" Lin Xiaomiao reached out and gently stroked the top of his head.
The dog grinned and showed his missing front teeth, "Sister, don't underestimate me, I carried back the wheat cut at home." You must be lighter than the grain, and I can carry it. ”
Looking at his innocent and proud smile, Lin Xiaomiao's heart was extremely uncomfortable, when he was only about ten years old, Yao asked him to be a coolie and let him do the most tiring and heavy hard work in the family.
"Sister can still walk these few steps, and when Sister is old and can't walk, will you carry me again?"
Goudan nodded vigorously, "When the time comes, where Sister wants to go, I will carry you wherever I go!" ”
"Sister......" Goudan lowered his voice and was a little dull, "Listen to that woman say, are you going to get married?" Never coming back, will it? ”
The dog is old enough to distinguish between good and evil, and hates Yao in his heart for refusing to call her sister-in-law.
The water spilled by the daughter who got married, she married to the Zhang family, and she was considered a member of the Zhang family, and there were very few times she could come back in the future.
"Sister, I don't want you to go! That woman is going to beat us and is going to make us hungry all the time! When Mi'er heard this, she lay on the ground and hugged Lin Xiaomiao's leg tightly, "Sister, can you leave here and take Mi'er with you?" Mi'er will listen to Sister A's words, Mi'er can do a lot of farm work, and she won't eat too much food from Sister A. ”
These words pierced Lin Xiaomiao's heart like a thorn, and she hugged the crying Mi'er, "Sister promised you, I will definitely find a way to bring you over!" In the future, if I have a full bite to eat, there will be yours! ”
It is impossible for the Zhang family to promise her to bring her two younger brothers over, but there is only a dead end for the dog to stay here. Fortunately, Lin Xiaomiao is not a person with an anxious personality, and after an idea comes up in her heart, she will slowly realize it little by little.
Fortunately, although there were no ingredients in the kitchen, the other utensils were not hidden by Yao's, Lin Xiaomiao asked Goudan to bring a small shovel and squatted down and began to dig wild vegetables.
Goudan stared at the unsightly wild vegetables in Lin Xiaomiao's hand, and muttered in a low voice: "Sister, can this grass really be eaten?" ”
Lin Xiaomiao dusted off the soil on the vegetable root and smiled, "This is not grass, this is called shepherd's cabbage, and it has strong vitality." When spring arrives, they can be found all over the mountains. ”
"Do you dig out wild bird eggs? Let's have a meat dinner! ”
When Mi'er heard that she could bloom meat, her little face blossomed, and she hurriedly said, "Sister, I know that there is a wild duck nest in the reed pond behind!" I've brought a nest of duck eggs! ”
The dog was left to help Lin Xiaomiao dig the shepherd's cabbage, and the bamboo basket that he brought for half a day was full of spikes.
He ran back and took out four round and shiny wild duck eggs from his coat pocket, which were smaller than the domestic ducks. Fortunately, there are few people, and four wild duck eggs are barely enough to eat.
Dogan helped Lin Xiaomiao carry the bamboo basket, and Mi'er asked excitedly, "Sister, Sister, when are you going to cook?" ”
"There are a lot of fish in the reed pond, how nice it would be if we could catch them!"
Lin Xiaomiao's eyes crooked with a smile, "The little gluttonous cat wants to eat fish?" When Sister Ah makes a fishing rod, she will take you to fish, and when the time comes, you can choose to fry and steam, and keep it so that you can eat enough. ”
Speaking of this, Lin Xiaomiao was a little proud, she didn't put in a lot of effort when she was taking the chef level.
Mi'er clapped her hands happily, and when she walked to her brother and sister-in-law's residence, Lin Xiaomiao stopped.
Standing outside the door, you can also hear Yao's sharp chatter voice in the dirt house, the child's body trembled involuntarily, and the dog's face also turned cold.
"Sister, let's go!" Mi'er pitifully grabbed the corner of Lin Xiaomiao's clothes.
Lin Xiaomiao's expression was very ordinary, she smiled and brushed away Mi'er's hand and said, "You send the ingredients to the kitchen first, and wait for Sister Ah obediently for a while, Sister Ah has a few words to say to her sister-in-law." ”
